Chapter 118: Domination
Of course, the number of people who dare to risk the world's condemnation is in the single digits, but there will never be a shortage of people who dare to play the side ball. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Just as the surrounding evil forces began to infiltrate into the western center of the continent, some small and medium-sized lords who were in the vicinity of the Honey Wine Land and were attacked on their backs quietly came to the Honey Wine Farm.
They got their wish to meet the legendary lord who was waging war like crazy, and they had no choice but to hand over proof of allegiance!
Faced with death and fear, these people choose to surrender to violence. Of course, after Ling Qi received them, these people were still relieved, because what they saw was a living human being, not a skeleton or necronomicon who had been tempted by the Dark Demon Lord as rumored in the outside world!
What they saw on the road, and the fact that the people were living and working in peace and contentment, also showed that the allegiance they were about to be to was not a pure and reckless devil.
Someone sets a precedent, and someone will follow suit.
A few days later, when Ling Qi announced that he would stop his expansion, but was still willing to provide shelter to the people, lords, and even refugees of the surrounding territories, and even stood at the border of the new territory and gave a brilliant speech to the outsiders who were eyeing him, people really couldn't figure out where the legendary lord standed.
Is he an evil executioner, or a mad war maniac?
Since conquering Fornost to the north, Lingqi's territory has completely bordered the land where evil creatures thrive.
Many have seen idle, wandering, hordes of goblins and trolls join the Guardians of the realm, which seems to confirm the evil name of the legendary lord.
But when an army of Mordor with a clear banner emerged out of nowhere, passed through the ruins of the Witchcraft Kingdom, and invaded south, they actually clashed violently with the warriors of the Land of Honey and those particularly ugly wild monsters!
If they are all evil, shouldn't they be on the same camp?
Just when the outsiders were shocked, the legendary lord once again performed a miracle, and as he had done in the north, with less than a third of his absolutely inferior troops, his troops defeated and fled this Mordor army of three thousand beasts, capturing countless slaves!
This iconic victory, known locally as the Battle of the Dawn because it took place at dawn, also cast a new veil of mystery on the person of Lynch.
Orc slaves are another specialty of the land of honey after the mixed army of goblins, trolls, and ogres.
In the past wars between good and evil, both sides never left prisoners, because human dwarves or elves, in the eyes of ordinary orcs, are rations, blood food, only a few people with special identities can survive after the defeat of the war, fall into the hands of high-level orcs, but they would rather commit suicide before being captured.
And with such a blood feud, once the orcs are defeated, there is no way out for them except to die. Humans don't need this kind of captivity, and they can't control or trust them, and the simple brains of orcs don't have the words compromise except killing and fear.
Ling Qi, a legendary lord and a wizard, once again subverted people's perceptions, and he performed in public, using his mysterious witchcraft power to subdue orcs and wolves, and successfully reduced captives to animal slaves and distributed them to meritorious warriors at their disposal.
This is unimaginable to outsiders, if it weren't for the fact that the situation in Middle-earth has been chaotic and corrupted to the point that even the Holy White Council is overwhelmed, once he shows this power, he will immediately be branded as evil and burned at the stake!
In fact, even if those orcs surrendered in front of powerful wizards, how many people were willing and dared to accept those disgusting and dirty "slaves"?
The lords and warriors of the land of mead, they accepted it!
Ling Qi's achievements, what he has done, and his personal charm cannot be summed up in the word miracle at all.
He seems to be omnipotent, and his influence is everywhere, and anyone who meets him in person will immediately be impressed by his demeanor, and evil creatures are the same.
But this person is like the glow and breeze on the horizon, which is unpredictable. In other words, he has no position at all, as long as he can be used by me, then he can use it immediately, and he does not avoid good and evil. Whoever dares to invade his territory, or block the path of his conquest, will immediately send troops to fight him, without the slightest room for negotiation, and will not be merciful!
Go back a few months, even if he has the ability now, who would dare to do that?
Good is good, evil is evil, good and evil are incompatible, and if you want to engage in gray, you might as well hide in the gutter! Ignoring the overall situation and setting off a war only for personal interests will not be just at any time!
The reason why Ling Qi changed from a legend to scum in a short period of time, and from scum back to legend, was not because of how well he could fight and how many wars he had won, but because of his miraculous charm.
Can you turn enemies into friends if you fight? Killing your whole family can still make you willingly loyal?
This kind of subversive common sense means is what frightens the truly sober people!
The powerful force may be able to convince people's hearts for a while, but it can't change the most real yearning in people's hearts, Ling Qi just broke this convention!
He was reckless and relentless, but the people always accepted his decrees. Could it be that there is really a natural king in this world who exudes the aura of a king?
Many people pondered this question, including a certain gray-robed wizard who stood his ground, staring at his cunning foe, waiting for him to show his flaws...
Twilight month, 20th.
It coincides with the ancient Warrior's Day, but unfortunately not many people celebrate it now, because many things have been forgotten in the long river of history, including some traditional festivals that have been considered unworthy by successive lords.
It had been eight full days since the Battle of Dawn, and in the courtyard of the Honey Winery, which had not changed much, Ling Qi felt the feeling that the "territory" had expanded to the limit, and sighed abruptly.
He had already guessed that this kind of expansion could not be infinite, otherwise, no matter which plane or what special rules there were, as long as he was given a fulcrum, he could become the king of the plane, and this would be worth it!
That level of help is not something he can use and grasp now, and no power will be rootless water, appearing out of thin air, and providing services to anyone for free.
Even if you don't need to master a power thoroughly, just use it, you have to have a corresponding foundation. If you can't even pull the trigger, how can you shoot a gun? If you can't even type on a keyboard, how can you use a PC?
Not only the maximum range of the territory, but also the number of marionettes in the range is not unlimited.
That kind of interference with the mind, the limitation of the future of the soul, is not actually an invisible thread, but a special force that can be used to interfere with the future direction of the human heart that cannot even be understood by Ling Qi, and it can affect the direction of the mind in a certain period of time.
Ling Qi named this power "Psychic Power", and defined the "Psychic Power" that needed to be consumed to change an ordinary person's ordinary thoughts as a unit.
After the territory is expanded to the limit, the total amount of "Psychic Power" he can use is about 3,000 units. In other words, if it were an intelligent creature like a human, he would probably be able to interfere with the minds of two to three thousand ordinary people. Of course, it must be expected of him in the original heart, and it cannot be particularly strong in spirit, or wholeheartedly opposed to him.
These days, Ling Qi has already discovered that the spiritual realms and ideological consciousness of different people are completely different, so the "power of fascination" required to affect different intelligent beings cannot be exactly the same.
For example, if he were a mentally tough warrior like Dodona, or a rebel who didn't even think about his obedience to him by one percent, then he would probably only be able to "forcibly control" a few dozen or a hundred.
However, those evil creatures, it seems that even if they are not restrained by the power of the dark rules, he can control at least ten times the number of goblins in the human base, or one-tenth of the large creatures such as ogres and ogres, if combined with some of the dark rules he masters, then in the territory, he is a well-deserved king of evil.
Because of this, he had to expose the means to control the evil creatures in advance, while stopping the strategy of crazy expansion. Because in the foreseeable future, the appearance of a large number of evil creatures under his command is already an inevitable trend, and Zang can't hide it.
And as the population of the realm increased, the power of the delusion could not make ends meet, and he had to kill some stubborn people who hated him deeply, or who were sent by other lords with ulterior motives.
Of course, it would not be a pity to kill these people, it could provide him with some soul energy, although he felt that he could not go further by soul devouring now, and the more he accumulated, the better.
The limitation of the "power of the heart" is an expected regret, but it is already very ungodly to let the equivalent of nearly a hundred powerful warriors who hate him unconditionally obey him.
As for the other functions of the territory, for the time being, he can only rely on the blessing of the "power of the territory" to make the effect of the Yuan magnetic power stronger, and just in this way, it has also laid the foundation for him to be several times stronger, so that he can face the lower and even the middle legend in his own territory!
In fact, he cares more about the feeling after the strength is raised, which is the so-called state of mind, which will not disappear after the strength subsides. As long as you don't indulge, that's a reference for the way forward.
As for the "power of the mind", it is indeed an amazing power, not referring to its current effect, but its principle, because it is not simply to control people's hearts, but to change people's hearts.
You must know that even if the hearts of those who have been changed are "forced" at the beginning, after a long time, when a certain habit of thinking is solidified, there is no need for more compulsion!
Hatred is actually not terrible, what is terrible is that the idea of forgiveness will decrease little by little after the hatred erupts again and again, and eventually it will be close to nothing.
When the idea is reversed, and forgiveness and tolerance trump hatred, even the most incredible changes make sense.
Not only does it turn enemies into friends, but with the power of fascination, other emotions, daily habits, and even the will to fight can be influenced.
Man is a habitual animal, and a coward will become a warrior as a matter of course as long as he is "brave" a few times, as most creatures do.
In this way, as long as he changes those that still need to be changed little by little, and is wary of those that have changed, he can do a miracle that even politicians and liars with bright tongues can't do.
It can be said that as long as he is in the realm, he is the lord of others, just like the lord above him.
He even occasionally wondered if one day, when this ability was further improved and improved to a certain level, he could also become the true master of a certain plane, many planes?
This is an incredible evolutionary path that is different from the traditional mastery of the rules and strengthens itself!
