The girl was hit by an arrow in the calf and fell to the ground.

The men chasing her behind ignored Li Qing and his party, who were close at hand, and rushed towards the girl who fell down.

"Help! They are the servant army scouts of the Holy Light Alliance! The girl raised her head and shouted at Li Qing.

Li Qing's face moved, and he shouted: "Stop!" ”

The men turned a deaf ear, rushed to the girl's side, drew their knives and stabbed the girl.

"I say, stop!" Li Qing shouted, raised his left hand, grabbed it in the air, and the special effect of the King of Metal was activated, and the blades that the men were about to stab at the girl's body suddenly flew out of their hands involuntarily, and fell into Li Qing's hands in a ping pong.

Li Qing clasped his hands together, pinched several short knives into a ball of iron, looked at the men whose faces had changed greatly, and shouted, "Say, who are you?" ”

Although the girl said that the men were scouts of the servants of the Holy Light Alliance, and they did have distinct Southeast Asian characteristics, the girl herself was a blonde and blue-eyed Westerner.

The Southern Military Region of the Empire also has a large number of servant troops from Southeast Asian countries, and of course, there are also Westerners who refuse to believe in the Lord of Glory and go into exile in the Empire. Therefore, Li Qing did not immediately listen to the girl's words, and wanted to confirm it first.

But after the men heard Li Qing's question, they didn't say a word, turned around and ran. There is no need to confirm it any further, they must be enemy scouts who have infiltrated the territory of the empire.

Li Qing threw out the iron ball kneaded with several short knives, and smashed a man who was running in front to the ground. Then he drew the blood-colored long knife that had been captured from the Blood Angel Knight, and strode after it.

Seeing that they couldn't escape, the scouts pulled out their spare short knives and screamed back at Li Qing.

As elite scouts who can infiltrate the territory of the empire, these people also have some strength, and they all have the level of the red copper pole on average, that is, the strength of about level eight. But this strength is still powerless in the face of Li Qing. was slashed clean by him a few times.

At this time, the man who was smashed by Li Qing first groaned, turned over with difficulty on the ground, and lay on his back gasping for breath.

He was able to survive because Li Qing wanted to stay alive, and he didn't use all his strength in that smash.

Otherwise, with Li Qing's strength, to deal with this kind of scout who is not wearing armor, an iron ball will smash it, and he must be smashed through the front and back.

Li Qing walked up to the scout, put his foot on his chest, the tip of the knife against his chin against his throat, and said, "Can you understand what I said?" ”

The scout gasped for a while, foaming at the bloody spit, without saying a word, glaring at Li Qing with a rebellious face.

"Susu!" Li Qing turned around and greeted Su Su: "It's another guy who doesn't speak." ”

"Maybe I can't understand the imperial Chinese." Song Qiqi raised her hand.

"If you don't understand the imperial Chinese, how can you go to the territory of the empire to reconnoitre?" Chu Lingfeng said with a smile: "A scout like this can not only understand the imperial Chinese, but also be able to speak and write." "When she was on Earth, she spent some time in the military in order to hone her martial arts. Not only did he mix in the Chinese army, but he also worked as a mercenary abroad. So I know a lot of professional military knowledge.

Xiaolongnu said, "Yes, these scouts must be able to speak and write imperial Chinese." Before the Holy Light Alliance moved eastward, these small countries around the empire had always been deeply influenced by the empire's culture. The middle and upper classes of these small countries are proud to be able to speak and write imperial Chinese. There was no shortage of people who were proficient in imperial culture. If these scouts can be sent to infiltrate the empire, they must be able to hear, read, and write about the emperor's Chinese. ”

Just like the Confucian cultural circle in ancient China, the Eastern Empire of Earth 2, as a superpower that has always remained strong and never declined, has a great influence on the surrounding small countries.

It is precisely because of this that after the Holy Light Alliance invaded the east, so many people from small countries who lost their countries fled into the territory of the empire and were willing to serve the empire. Like some sorcerers and technicians with a skill, they even enthusiastically accepted the Empire's recruitment and directly joined the Empire's citizenship.

Of course, not all of the people of the small countries in the cultural circle of the empire have their hearts set on the empire.

Among them, there are also a large number of people who believe in the teachings of the Lord of Radiance, who are determined to work for the Holy Light Alliance, which has always been missionary in its expansion process.

First, pastors and priests were sent into a certain country to preach doctrine among the low-level people, practice medicine and medicine, relieve the poor, and cultivate believers. Most of the people at the bottom of small countries are unsatisfactory in life, or they are poor, or they are oppressed, or they have no way to rise, or they have no medical treatment for a long time......

Such people generally have a kind of hatred towards the middle and upper classes, and they do not have any concept of a country or a nation. With the doctrine of the Radiant Holy Religion that is close to the lives of the people, with the strong spiritual appeal and healing ability of the Holy Religion pastors, and with the ability to help the needy brought about by the strong financial resources of the Radiant Holy Religion, it is easy to attract a large number of believers, and then cultivate a die-hard leader to lead the way.

Once the Holy Religion has developed to a certain extent, then the country will basically have only two ends, one is to be peacefully evolved and become a member of the Holy Religion Alliance. First, it was subverted by force, and the old upper strata was overthrown and suppressed. The upper echelons of the new pro-Radiant Cult came to power and became vassals of the Alliance.

Backed by the Radiant Cult's mighty force, many of the upper echelons of small countries had to compromise even though they understood that the spread of the Radiant Cult would endanger their rule. Some simply believe in religion throughout the country, and even the king is baptized by the Holy Religion, which is peaceful evolution. Some were a little tougher and tried to ban the Radiant Holy Sect. And the tough end is basically the loss of the country.

Speaking of which, most of the small countries that have been subverted by the Radiant Holy Sect cannot be considered innocent.

Who told them to be so harsh on the people at the bottom? There is a way that the government is as fierce as a tiger, and the people at the bottom also have the right to survive. Talented people at the bottom will also demand progress. The more talented you are, the more unwilling you are to accept the status quo. And those small countries ignore the people's livelihood and ignore the demands of the talented and outstanding, giving the Radiant Holy Sect the opportunity to infiltrate, and it is also their own fault for their demise.

The Radiant Saint Sect has continued to expand in this way, and it has always been unfavorable and unfavorable. Only in the Eastern Empire hit the nail.

The Eastern Empire has long been wary of the Glorious Holy Sect that has been expanding in all directions for hundreds of years. When the Holy Religion infiltrated the small southwestern country, to use the geographical term of the earth, it was Southeast Asia. When he tried to enter the empire to preach, the empire considered that the Holy Church was powerful, and if he forcibly refused, it might trigger a world war, and the empire was not ready for war at that time.

The empire has been preparing for a long time. Decades ago, a person of insight proposed that sooner or later there would be a war between the Empire and the Radiant Holy Sect. Since that time, the Empire has been secretly preparing for war.

Accumulate war resources, research and develop new military technologies, find new sources of resources in outer space, win over small neighboring countries, cultivate pro-imperialist forces in small neighboring countries, and establish buffer zones...... After the war began, the reason why there were so many exiled forces and led a large number of people and materials to flee into the empire was because of these preparations in the early stage.

But preparations for war are never finished. Of course, the longer the preparation time, the better.

Therefore, the empire did not refuse the Radiant Holy Cult to enter the empire to preach at the beginning, but only limited the mission area and missionary personnel.

This is the confidence of a superpower. The Empire is confident, even if the Radiant Saint Sect is allowed to enter the Imperial Mission, it is impossible to develop a large number of followers to endanger the Imperial Body.

And so it was.

As the strongest superpower on Earth No. 2, there are certainly those who are unsatisfactory in life, there are also poor and destitute people in the empire, there are ambitious careerists, and there are people who feel that they are not satisfied with complaints and want to finish the party, but the overall atmosphere of the empire is positive.

The pride of belonging to the descendants of gods and demons inherited for thousands of years, the tradition of not worshipping other gods but only the ancestral gods and ancestral spirits, the splendid culture that has a long history and has never been complacent, and is always constantly developing and evolving, the awakening of national consciousness, strong national strength, rich resources, developed technology, and perfect talent training system, everyone has a hopeful upward channel...... Wait a minute.

This qiē gave the people of the empire a self-confidence and pride that was different from the ordinary people of small countries.

It is impossible for the people of the empire to abandon their ancestors and entrust their faith to a foreign god.

No matter how powerful that alien god is, it can't make the people of the empire abandon their deep-rooted traditions. Nor can the subjects of the empire turn their backs on the powerful Motherland that they are proud of, and which gives everyone a chance to rise relatively justly.

You must know that the gap between the various countries within the sphere of influence of the Radiant Holy Sect, between the commoners and the nobles, has not been able to break down to this day. It is difficult for commoners to have access to education, and it is even more difficult to become a nobleman. Although the Radiant Church is trying to change this situation, setting up many church schools to develop education, recruiting clergy from among the common people to give them the opportunity to rise, it ......

The aristocratic class was already the backbone supporters of the Radiant Holy Sect, and it was impossible for the Radiant Holy Sect not to consider the feelings of the aristocratic class, and let the mud-legged people who were despised by the nobles get along with them on an equal footing. Therefore, the efforts of the Radiant Holy Sect have so far yielded little results.

Empire, on the other hand, is where everyone has a chance to rise. Although it is impossible to be completely fair and just, even poor peasants can change their fate through their own efforts. This is many times stronger than the Holy Light Alliance.

Therefore, the ascent channel alone is enough to make the people of the empire despise the Holy Light Alliance.

The invincible doctrine of the Radiant Holy Sect infiltrated and hit an iron wall in the empire. After many years of operation, there are few results.

After the failure of the attempt to evolve peacefully, the Cult of Radiance finally tore off the veil of peace and launched a war in an attempt to conquer by force the Eastern Empire, the world's last pagan fortress that stubbornly resisted the Light of the Lord.

However, although the missionary activities of the Radiant Holy Sect were defeated in the Empire, they were as sharp as ever in the small countries surrounding the Empire. It has cultivated countless die-hard believers.

Right now, the servant army scout who was captured alive by Li Qing seems to be a diehard diehard.

When all his companions were killed and his life was threatened, in the face of the invincible Li Qing, he still showed a rebellious attitude, and he could understand Li Qing's words, but he refused to say even a word.

"Do you want to try the Ten Tortures of the Barbarian Clear?" Song Qiqi was eager to try.

"Do you know how to torture?" Li Qing asked amusedly.

"Who doesn't understand this?" Song Qiqi rolled up her sleeves and prepared to make a move: "Isn't it the set of leather whips, soldering irons, tiger chairs, and chili water?" ”

"Kiki, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. Those you are talking about, the technical content is too low, where is torture? If you meet someone who knows how to do it, you will only be laughed at. ”

Xiaolongnu said leisurely: "The so-called ten tortures of the Barbarian Qing Dynasty include skinning, beheading, car splitting, Ling Chi, hanging, cooking, palace punishment, inserting needles, burying alive, breaking the vertebrae, sawing, filling lead, pumping intestines, and riding a wooden donkey...... And so on, they are the most cruel and inhumane punishments. Very technical. ”

Seeing Xiaolongnu casually say this kind of torture, Song Qiqi's face turned pale when she heard it. Ni Yuanyuan and Chu Lingfeng also quietly moved away from the little dragon girl. Scarlett, who was shooting arrows and healing the blonde girl, couldn't help but tremble. And the girl looked at the little dragon girl even more fearfully, her green eyes full of horror.

Even Li Qing listened with a strange face. Only Su Su listened with relish, and when he was finished, he asked, "Long'er, have you studied all these tortures?" Do you have time to communicate? ”

As a mage, Su Su certainly knew about countless tortures. Not to mention people, she can torture even dragons, demons, devils and even gods. However, the torture she used to torture her enemies was more technical, and she had long since abandoned the bloody, dirty, and disgusting corporal punishment, and generally started from the soul.

But although he doesn't use corporal punishment, Su Su, as a black demon king who has had three wrong views since he was a child, has a strong interest in evil deeds.

If it weren't for the fact that after coming to the earth, the soul was split, and the blackest half was recuperating in the power seed of Li Qing's heart, and the active half was still a relatively innocent half, and Li Qing was constantly supervising and correcting, Su Su really didn't know how many heinous bad things he would do.

No matter how cute Su Su is on the surface, don't forget that this girl was once a famous horror demon king.

"Where did I study those tortures?" Seeing that everyone was looking at themselves with an extremely strange look, as if looking at the executioner, the little dragon girl couldn't help but shake her head funny, "I just know." Do you think I know how to do that? ”

"That's it, even if my cousin wants to study, there are no conditions before." Song Qiqi nodded again and again with a pale face, "Although she has the conditions now, she is already a serious imperial general of eight hundred, where would she lower her price to study torture?" ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you girl. Even if I wasn't an Imperial General, I wouldn't have studied those things. The little dragon girl knocked on Song Qiqi's forehead angrily.

"Okay, okay, let's get off topic." Li Qing smiled and waved his hand, and snorted at the scout, "There is still a living mouth to torture here." This person looks like a diehard, and I don't think it's easy to pry his mouth open under ordinary torture, so I still have to let Su Su ......"

As he spoke, the scout suddenly shook his whole body, his face turned black, black blood flowed from his mouth, nose, eyes and ears, and he died in the blink of an eye.

"Dead?" Li Qing was surprised: "Why did you suddenly die?" ”

"This is a sign of poisoning, and it looks like this man committed suicide by poisoning." The little dragon girl came over to take a look and said, "Scouts like this who are active behind enemy lines usually have poison hidden in their mouths. Even if you are captive, you can commit suicide at any time as long as your mouth can move. ”

"Then why didn't you just remind me?" Li Qing said depressedly: "I'm a layman and don't understand anything, but you already know!" ”

"I didn't think about it either." The little dragon girl said embarrassedly: "Although I know all this knowledge, I actually ...... You know why, even though knowledge is in my head, it's hard to react if I don't encounter real things. ”

Xiaolongnu was also a layman, how could college students know these in peacetime? Even Bai Fumei, who has a fortune of hundreds of millions, cannot know this knowledge.

Her military knowledge is all inherited from Long Linghan, although the amount of knowledge is very rich, but after all, she has not gained it by herself, and it is impossible to use it freely.

The inherited knowledge is usually quietly hidden in her memory, and she has to think about it before she can call it out. In case of trouble, you have to have a trigger before you can remember it.

It's like a scout hiding poison in his mouth, and if he is replaced by Long Linghan, he will react early in the morning and take out the medicine bag in the scout's mouth first. But the little dragon girl had to wait until the scout was poisoned and died before she could remember this stubble. Of course, after this time, with experience, the next time Xiaolongnu will not have a similar mistake.

"The Knight of Thorns, who I captured alive earlier, didn't commit suicide." Li Qing said depressedly: "I also made the mistake of empiricism, thinking that this scout would be the same as that thorny knight." ”

The little dragon girl explained, "What is the identity of the Thorn Knight? How could it be the same as these scouts? In fact, until the war has been going on, the members of the Ten Guardian Knights of the Radiant Holy Sect have basically not been captured by our army.

"They are so powerful that ordinary people can't catch them at all. Even if they encountered an enemy who was incapacitated, they were all killed on the spot. Like the Holy War Blood Angel Knight, he is even more able to blow himself up. There are also knights of the Knights of the Flame Order, who also have the ability to self-immolate after losing their combat power. ”

Li Qing shook his head and said, "Long'er, next time something like this that needs attention, remember to remind us in advance!" ”

"Got it!" The little dragon girl stuck out her tongue, "Next time I will try to pay attention to it and remind me in advance." ”

"Susu, don't you know necromancy?" Li Qing asked Su Su again: "Can you arrest that guy's soul and torture it?" ”

"I can't." Su Su shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "The soul of a believer belongs to God. For die-hard believers like this, at the moment of death, the soul has already passed through the guò faith channel and returned to the embrace of his Lord God. ”

The soul of the believer is not incapable of torture. However, it must be tortured while the believer is still alive.

If you want to extract the soul of a believer while he is still alive, you must first prepare for it. In fact, it is difficult for ordinary legendary mages to extract the soul of a believer and imprison it.

Even the demons and devils, who are the best at playing with the soul, must first find a way to lure them to fall if they want to get the soul of a believer. Of course, some particularly powerful demons and demons have abilities that are not inferior to the true gods, and they can also snatch souls with open fire.

However, only particularly powerful demons and demons can do such a thing. Legendary mages can certainly make powerful demons and demons fearful, but there is a specialization in the art industry, and in the soul realm, ordinary legendary mages are far inferior to demons and devils.

Su Su continued: "If I regain to the super-god level, I can cut off the faith channel between believers and gods at will, and directly plunder souls. Just like DiesonMatt did in the Cullen multifacet. Or restore to the god level, and it can also temporarily cut off the faith channel and snatch the souls of some believers. But now, unless I'm in my mage tower and I'm prepared in advance, I can't take the soul of a single believer. ”

Li Qing nodded, looked at the girl who had been healed of Scarlett's leg injury and was standing beside Scarlett obediently, and said, "Then now, we only have this one source of information." "That's it. Like the Holy War Blood Angel Knight, he is even more able to blow himself up. There are also knights of the Knights of the Flame Order, who also have the ability to self-immolate after losing their combat power. ”

Li Qing shook his head and said, "Long'er, next time something like this that needs attention, remember to remind us in advance!" ”

"Got it!" The little dragon girl stuck out her tongue, "Next time I will try to pay attention to it and remind me in advance." ”

"Susu, don't you know necromancy?" Li Qing asked Su Su again: "Can you arrest that guy's soul and torture it?" ”

"I can't." Su Su shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "The soul of a believer belongs to God. For die-hard believers like this, at the moment of death, the soul has already passed through the guò faith channel and returned to the embrace of his Lord God. ”
