Chapter 568: Who Wanted to Make Demands on Me Just Now?
People faltered and began to whisper, but in fact everyone's minds have been changing since they came here. From the very beginning, hostility, vigilance everywhere, distrust everywhere. Later, they lived together peacefully and even made friends. and then to the later envy of life in Yannan City. The constant change of these ideas made these impetuous eagle demon warriors also begin to reflect on the world they once lived in. Even think more about the church, about God.
At this time, it is necessary to bring up why Gao Li gave these people free rations in the first place.
Give them food, and let them eat and drink enough. Every time they eat, they think that this is Yannan City's meal. Every time you drink water, you can see that this is the tap water of Yannan City. Gao Li knew that they all had money with them, and after they were full of food and drink, rich people would naturally inevitably consume. In a place like Yannan City, the local people may have been a little accustomed to these strange things, but as outsiders, the first time they saw these bells and whistles, their first reaction was.
We don't have it there!
Psychologists tell us that the more proud a person is, the more likely they are to have low self-esteem.
If you have me or not, a feeling of inferiority will arise in my heart. And as time goes by, I find more and more that many things in Yannan City are what you have and I don't, so the inferiority complex will continue to expand.
However, if the inhabitants of Yannan City did not show a condescending attitude at this time, but thought of extending a hand of friendship, the eagle demons would quickly hold this hand.
This should be due to the relative closure of Yannan City, where the common people lived in precarious and difficult conditions not long ago. Because of the appearance of Gao Li, people can see the light of day again and live such a good life. Now that everyone is concentrating on making money, no one has the time to cultivate this useless vanity.
Seeing that a spark was already brewing in the hearts of the people, Custer struck while the iron was hot and said, "Make your choice, brothers. I know that some of you come from workshop families, and some of you come from the lower aristocracy. These great nobles have deprived you of your rights with a god who does not exist, that the land, the gold, should belong to us, to all of us, and yet they have hidden the gold in the church under the pretense of God's will. They built lavish churches and wore clothes that ordinary people could not afford for a hundred years. And what did they do? They didn't do anything! They just faked a god! They were parasites, vampires in our world! We gave them all our faith in God, and we fed them fat, and they didn't even look at us squarely!"
Then Custer looked at Gao Li and said in a loud voice, "But Lord Gao is different! Her wife, the goddess of the East, she is different from the gods we know! She lives among us, and perhaps she is not very close. But it's more real than those ethereal phantoms! And not to mention the city lord Gao, look at the city he created! Have you ever seen such a miracle in your hometown? And this miracle, the city lord Gao did not keep it for himself, but shared it with all his citizens! That is to say, everything in this city can belong to the people of Yannan City, or it may be ours!"
"Of course, I also know that you are worried, worried that you may be in danger to your family by doing this. But please look around you, do you really believe that those Eagle Demon Warriors have the possibility of defeating Yannan City's lethal weapons? Once the High City Lord defeats, you will become a member of the glory here. You can bring your relatives here, share your happiness, and maybe you can even return to the Western Continent with great power, and then, take away your share of the wealth that belongs to you from the hands of those hypocritical and despicable churches! And the high city lord is generous, he doesn't care how much your private property is, and he will never levy an extra copper tax on you for this, then everything is you deserve!"
As a missionary, Custer was eloquent and incendiary. The most important thing is that he is an eagle demon, the eagle language is first-class, there is no estrangement and obstacle to communication, and some words are much more suitable for him than Gao Li.
Most of the fighters were silent, and there was no one who did not yearn for a better life. The Western continent has been in turmoil for many years, and no one wants to be a warrior if it is possible. Because no one knows who will die in the next second. But they were already in the lower echelons in their hometown, only a little stronger than those half-blood eagle demons, and some of them were even worse than serfs.
To be honest, they don't like that kind of hometown.
Yannan City, they love it!
In the middle of the team, several hundred feather leaders looked at the appearance of the people around them, and shouted: "Why did you suddenly stop talking? Are you really tempted? You fools! You can be moved by the other party's words in a few words? What about your professed faith? What about your pride as an eagle demon? You ......?"
Burst!
A knife pierced his heart from behind, and Bai Yuchang, who was scolding, turned his head and saw the warrior behind him.
"We have always been true to our faith, but alas, they are not worthy of our loyalty. You have often taught us to be faithful to the church, but this time the church is sending us to death. We don't want to die, we want to live, and we want to live for ourselves like the citizens of Yannan City. So, Lord Baiyu, I don't want to listen to your orders anymore!"
Three more stabs in succession, and the hundred feather chief didn't even let out a final roar, and fell limply to the ground. Then, the warrior who had slashed a hundred feathers in his hand shouted feverishly, "I will follow the High City Lord!"
The power of example is endless. When the first person set an example, the atmosphere immediately changed. The hundred feather elders around them were in danger, and they drew their short knives and gestured around. And someone even opened his wings directly and was about to fly away, but before Yaya's muzzle was raised, his wings were cut off by the soldiers around him, and the person disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Eagle demons are highly hierarchical, and they are able to mix up an official position in the army, usually not because of their military merit and ability, but because of their belief in the gods.
So how do you rate faith? The easiest way to do this is to look at the devotion to the church. If you make more offerings, your natural beliefs will be enough, and if you offer less, it means that you have reservations about God.
In such an atmosphere, the level of belief can usually only be evaluated by the amount of money and the amount of money. It is impossible for ordinary people to win the favor of the church.
In the past, under the suppression of the church, the warriors at the bottom did not dare to have any intention of resisting.
But now, when the warriors decided to leave the church, everything was different. Without the shackles of the church, there is no longer any fear of threats.
The news of the warriors' defection to Gaoli must not be known to the people of the Western Continent, because once it is known, their relatives and friends in their hometown will suffer. So, there are only two types of people here.
Own.
Or dead people.
Things have developed to such a point that both Prince Baia and Baron Sayre have understood that the situation is absolutely irreversible.
"So, from the beginning, was that what you were aiming for?" asked Baron Cell, in a low voice.
Gao Li said: "My original purpose was just to make my city more populous. It's just that what I didn't expect was that you guys had a lot of work. ”
As he spoke, Gao Li grabbed Baron Cell, gave him a push, and pushed him among the warriors. Baron Cell's body suddenly felt that all the true qi on his body had disappeared. Looking at the angry warriors behind him, Baron Cell's eyes closed helplessly.
Prince Baia was already stunned.
During Karst's previous speech, Prince Baia tried to interrupt several times, but in the end he was unsuccessful. Now, he didn't dare to speak.
"Prince Baia. Gao Li came to Baia with a smile on his face.
"Please......" Prince Baia's mouth squirmed, making a slight sound.
"What?" Gao Li didn't hear.
"Please...... I, I swear allegiance to you. Prince Baia's legs were weak and he knelt directly in front of Gao Li.
"Your Royal Highness, another Your Highness. Tell me, do you know a man named Earl?"
Prince Baia was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened: "Did he even die at your hands?"
Gao Li smiled and said, "You won't be the first, and you definitely won't be the last, go with peace of mind." ”
Saying that, Gao Li also pushed Prince Baia.
Everything is just a blink of an eye, and the remaining Eagle Demon warriors are full of fanatical enthusiasm, as if they have seen a bright future for themselves!
"Okay, my new citizens of Yannan City, I believe that you will get a wonderful new life in this magical land of the East. Now, please embrace your new life. Gao Li waved his hand, and the eagle demons left with a cheer.
Only corpses were left on the ground at the shooting range.
The ants came over to clean up the corpses, and Gao Li turned and walked towards the building behind him.
This is the shooting range, but there is also a small building here. Before, the doors and windows of the small building were closed, but now, all the doors and windows of this small building have been opened, and behind the doors and windows, there are wet eagle demons.
They are ten thousand feathers, thousands of feathers, and they are the commanders of the remaining Eagle Demon Legions. They had big nobles and little princes.
Although they were in the stuffy building just now, their bodies were like falling into an ice cave.
They were all terrified.
Right in front of them, Gao Li showed them how to complete the conversion of the old and the new in an instant. This kind of thing can happen one moment, and it can happen the next. They knew that Gao Li didn't care about the lives of these people at all.
"Alright, guys, let's get back to what we didn't finish this morning. By the way, a few people just said they wanted to talk to me about terms and conditions?"
For an instant, there was silence.
