Chapter 398: Infighting
Bai Yuqi's "preaching" behavior in the barracks obviously attracted the attention of the aristocracy
In particular, his mysterious methods of healing injuries and taking out food and water out of thin air are easy to covet.
In this era of low productivity, the aristocracy, who tried to expand their territory with their supernatural abilities, and the wanton conscription of civilians by force, naturally led to a shortage of labor.
The aristocracy, which has a lot of resources, naturally does not worry about eating and drinking.
But the civilian soldiers they recruited were not robots that could not eat or drink after all.
In order to prevent these soldiers from mutiniing under the impetus of hunger, a minimum food supply was still required.
Since countries have adopted similar strategies, the amount of food that can be collected from the civilian population has long since been collected, which makes it difficult for the army to obtain supplies through raiding.
In such a situation, the sudden appearance of a person who can "conjure" food shows how tempting it can be for those in power.
Looking at the leader of the army who was walking towards him with a group of well-armed and sturdy soldiers, Bai Yuqi looked at him with great interest to see what he planned to do.
But before the arrogant army leader could do anything, a group of recovered wounded soldiers in linen robes surrounded Bai Yuqi and protected him.
And the wounded soldier who was the first to be cured rushed to the head of the army excitedly, and said something to the other party with an excited expression.
But after the leader of the army glanced at Bai Yuqi suspiciously, he brutally pushed him to the ground, pointed at Bai Yuqi and shouted something.
Bai Yuqi couldn't help but release a [proficient language] to himself curiously, wanting to hear what he was saying.
But those sturdy soldiers had already rudely driven away the recovered wounded soldiers who were protecting Bai Yuqi, and reached out to grab Bai Yuqi.
The actions of the army leader immediately angered the recovered wounded soldiers, who rushed up and pushed and shoved with the sturdy soldiers, and soon the situation got out of control, and the enraged sturdy soldiers drew their weapons and slashed at the rehabilitated wounded soldiers, and a bloody clash broke out between the two sides.
Although these recovered wounded soldiers survived the battlefield, after they were sent to the wounded barracks, they were actually sent to wait for death without medical personnel and medical treatment, lacking medical personnel and medical treatment.
Even the original weapons and equipment had been collected and distributed to other soldiers who lacked equipment, so it was naturally difficult to resist the personal guards around those army leaders.
But after being cut and falling to the ground, they quickly stood up again with a bewildered face, wiped the blood from the slashed parts, but found that there was not even a single wound!
Only then did everyone realize that Bai Yuqi was standing in the crowd, smiling and waving a wooden staff, swaying clouds of holy light on them.
This strange phenomenon made the movements of the sturdy soldiers who committed the murder involuntarily slow down.
The side that recovered from the wounded soldiers immediately increased their morale, and they rushed forward one by one without fear of death, fought with each other with their bare hands, and even rushed up to grab the opponent's weapons, and the situation was immediately reversed.
While casually releasing the [healing technique], Bai Yuqi figured out what was going on from the quarrel between the two sides.
It turned out that the rehabilitated soldiers regarded him as the embodiment of the god they believed in, but as uneducated civilians, they were blind to their beliefs, and they could not really understand the so-called doctrines, nor did they know the abilities of their gods.
And the army leader, as a noble class, is naturally very aware of the power of their so-called "gods", and the healing ability and the ability to conjure food out of nothing that Bai Yuqi has just displayed are obviously not possessed by their gods.
So when the recovered wounded soldiers explained to them that the "white-robed mage Gandalf" that Bai Yuqi had transformed into was the incarnation of God.
The leader of the army immediately retorted and declared that Bai Yuqi was an evil heretic and a demonic change to deceive the world, so he should be arrested.
As a newly born spiritual aggregate, their artificial gods naturally could not have any divine power.
The healing ability also stays at the level of using herbs, at most, it is just using supernatural powers to exert the medicinal effects of herbs, so that the healing effect of herbs is faster and better.
This is too far from Bai Yuqi, who can heal his injuries out of thin air with a wave of his hand, or even the rebirth of a severed limb, so he is naturally distinguished by the army leader who knows more about his own "god", and thinks that it is the enemy's clergy who sneaks in to deceive people.
First, he was worried that his soldiers would be instigated by Bai Yuqi, and secondly, out of the psychology of coveting Bai Yuqi's ability, it was understandable that the army leader would order Bai Yuqi to be arrested instead of executing him on the spot.
But the problem is that the recovered wounded soldiers are not stupid, and when they are thrown into this wounded barracks to die, they can see the faces of these nobles clearly.
And no matter how much they prayed and pleaded for salvation, they could not get a response from their own gods, and it was not certain that they could have a strong faith in despair.
They don't know whether Gandalf played by Bai Yuqi is a "heretic" or not, but they know who saved them from death and who gave them food, so they naturally don't want the other party to take away the life-saving benefactor (food source), and conflict is inevitable.
In addition, the soldiers in this barracks are only a small part of the army of the Great Eater.
Unexpectedly, the unarmed dying and wounded soldiers would dare to resist the commander of the army, and the number of guards brought by them was far inferior to that of the recovered wounded soldiers.
Causing public outrage, they were quickly defeated and arrested by the wounded soldiers, and escorted in front of Bai Yuqi to wait for their fall.
In addition to healing the recovered wounded soldiers who were cut in the conflict, Bai Yuqi, who did not intervene in the whole process, walked to the army leader with a wooden staff, and looked down at the bearded officer who was still struggling desperately with unconvinced even if he was kneeling on the ground with twisted hands.
Seeing that he really couldn't break free, the beard with a blue nose and swollen face that was hammered by his subordinates simply closed his eyes and muttered something there, which should be the classic he believed in.
The Great Food Sect, which was famous in later generations, is still just a nascent sect that has just emerged, and the prophet who created the Great Food Sect and ended the civil strife on the Great Food Peninsula and completed the unification is still alive.
Sensing the power of faith surging in the bearded officer who reverently recited the classics, Bai Yuqi waited with interest for a while, thinking that the other party would summon their god.
But it's a pity that the bearded man who is not a full-time clergyman, the fluctuating spirit did not summon their god, but at the same time as he sensed Bai Yuqi's existence, he disappeared from the bearded man in an instant, probably because he was scared by his [spiritual whip].
