Chapter 443: Faith Struggle
The Nordhill Ocean is larger than the continent, but the progress of civilization is far inferior to that of the continent, or the gap between the rich and the poor is too wide, and the life of the ruling class such as the mermaid and the Naga is undoubtedly the same as the top power of the continent, but the bottom sea creatures such as the fish-people are still using bone weapons to defend against enemies.
The White Dragon Lord plans to use turnips and sticks to get the fishmen in the ocean to fall into the arms of the new fishman gods, but first the empire must know the location of those primitive tribes, and it must be inappropriate to send troops into the territory of other forces, so it plans to use the power of adventurers.
Under the operation of the state apparatus of Yafi Ivey, everything is carried out in an orderly manner.
On the border of the Yafi Ivi Empire, a large number of fishmen swam to the depths of the ocean, holding bone weapons in their hands, carrying bone spurs and other primitive ornaments, looking no different from savage fishmen.
But a discerning person can tell the difference between these fish people and the primitive fish people at a glance, mainly in the spiritual aspect, these fish people reveal a sense of self-confidence inside and out, and there is no existence below the strength of middle-level professionals.
They are the spearheads sent by the Empire to the deep sea.
One of them is the Lagu Shark Hunter, who, as its nickname, is a well-known high-ranking fish-man hunter and adventurer who has been tasked with traveling to the depths of the sea to find suitable missionary tribes and preach to the primitive natives.
The rewards given by the empire are very high, and there are many good things that cannot be bought with money, and many adventurers are tempted and act.
In order to stand out from the crowd of competitors and get paid well, it has to move fast.
When it comes to speed and finding hidden pristine gathering places, Lagu has a big advantage, as it is a hunter with a megalodon as an animal companion.
"Chase the waves! Swim faster! Shake them off!"
The shark under Lagu waved its tail, stirring up a small wave in response to its master, and the five-meter-long young shark suddenly accelerated, carrying the owner on his back and pulling away from the large army.
Seeing that some people were rushing, the fishmen also used their own means to speed up, urging their mounts or animal companions, and some of them also used magic props to ride the waves, and the sea was very lively.
Away from the borders of the Yafievi Empire, the adventurers dispersed, and Lagu Shark Hunter and his shark companion made their way across the vast expanse of the sea, making a wave mark on the calm sea.
Sharks have a keen sense of smell, they can distinguish the smell of blood from kilometers away and track it down to its source.
The Lagu Shark Hunter had already encountered the smell of blood three times, but it was all sea creatures hunting, and it looked up at the sky, the sun was about to set, and according to the custom of the people of the Yafi Ivy Empire, they would fall asleep shortly after nightfall.
Gotta find a beach to spend the night.
Lagu Shark Hunter thought to himself when suddenly the shark beneath him made a splash, a specially trained shark alerting his owner that he had made a new discovery.
"Let's go!" Ragu patted the shark on the head.
Commanded, the shark swung its tail, accelerated sharply, and swam off into the distance.
It didn't take long for Lagu to spot a faint trail of blood floating on the surface of the sea, and it dipped some blood into its mouth with its finned hand.
It's the blood of the Fish-Man!
It rejoices in its heart and urges its animal companions to speed up.
Following the bloodstains, Lagu heard and saw a scene in the distance, it was a primitive island, and there were some fish-man huts made of branches and straw in the shallow sea area of the island, which was a primitive fish-man village.
At this time, this fish-man village is being invaded by sea creatures, it is a giant turtle the size of a car, the giant turtle is rampaging through the fish-man village, knocking over everything in its path, and from time to time stretching out the giant turtle head to bite the besieging fish-man and tear it into the abdomen, and the stump and broken arm fall into the shallow water, which is the source of the smell of blood.
The fish-people's rudimentary weapons and fighting skills could not even break through the giant tortoise's defenses, and when Lagu arrived, the fish-man tribe was already on the verge of collapse, and it roared.
"Wow, wow, wow, lala!"
Accompanied by the battle cry of the fish-man charge, the Lagu Shark Hunter makes its animal companion fly on its head, leaping above the shark's head and throwing the spear on its back as it rises to the highest point of its jumping arc.
The air-wrapped hunting spear slammed into the tortoise's shell, and with a loud bang, the tortoise crashed away from the surrounding fish-people and turned to face the fish-man who had landed in the diving area, and it felt threatened by the fish-man.
After the giant tortoise turned around, the Lagu Shark Hunter saw the front of the giant tortoise, and it was shocked to find that it was actually a dragonborn with a trace of dragon veins.
What luck!
The Ragu Shark Hunter didn't take the Dragon-Vein Giant Tortoise to heart, it was a graduate of the Yafi Ivey Empire's higher education institution, and had received systematic knowledge training, as long as they knew the method, these huge turtle creatures were actually very easy to deal with.
It took another hunting spear and let out a defiant roar at the tortoise.
Immediately retreated again and again, seeing the enemy retreating, the dragon vein giant turtle thought that the enemy could not defeat itself and was afraid, and it chased after the retreating fishmen.
In the stunned eyes of the fishmen, the invincible destroyer was lured away by the "good guys" who fell from the sky.
The Lagu Shark Hunter lured the Dragon-Vein Giant Tortoise all the way to the deep sea before stopping.
Since the fish-man tribe is in the shallow sea area, its shark companion cannot assist in the battle, and without the assistance of the animal companion, its strength has dropped by at least thirty percent, and now when it comes to the deep sea area, it is relieved.
The Lagu Shark Hunter whistled, and a shark about the size of a giant tortoise struck out from behind.
Taking advantage of the fact that the giant tortoise was attracted by its animal companion, the Lagu Shark Hunter climbed onto the turtle shell and stabbed the root of the giant tortoise's hind limbs with a spear.
The giant tortoise panicked and rolled violently in the sea, stirring up a large wave of waves.
The Lagu Shark Hunter grabbed the edge of the tortoise's shell, fixed himself to the shell, and stabbed the giant tortoise through its hind limbs with a hunting spear, plunging deep into its body.
Scarlet blood gushed out, staining the surrounding sea, and after more than ten minutes of fighting, the dragon vein giant tortoise with its internal organs destroyed gradually lost its ability to move and entered the brink of death.
The Lagu Shark Hunter has his fellow sharks drag the Dragon-vein Giant Tortoise towards the Fish-Man Village.
It's harvest time!
Under the reverent and fearful gaze of the fishmen, the Lagu Shark Hunter dragged the giant tortoise's carcass to the shallow waters not far from the fish-man village.
"I am the messenger of the god of the new fish-people, the Shark Hunter, I am here to save you......" and then overcoming the power of the enemy, the Shark Hunter bragged about the cowhide and tried to fool these natives who had never seen the world: "Throw yourself into the arms of the god of the new fish-people, and you will be guided by it to live a good life......
The fishmen looked at each other, most of them were shallow believers of the god of fishmen, but there were also several sincere believers among them, at this time, a guy who claimed to be the messenger of the god of the new fishmen persuaded himself to convert to the god of the new fishmen, if he didn't know that he couldn't beat them, these sincere believers would be beaten.
"Outsider! Get out of ......"
A spear was nailed in front of the shouter, startling it.
Lagu Shark Hunter looked at several sincere believers with disgruntled faces with murderous eyes, it was an adventurer, and an adventurer was a class that licked blood from the knife's edge, not a good kind.
What's more, he was facing a group of ignorant natives, and the Lagu Shark Hunter dared to pack a ticket, if he hadn't deterred these natives at the beginning, he would have been attacked.
"Ignorant natives! Opportunity is in front of you! But you don't know how to cherish it!"
The aura of a high-level professional who erupted intimidated the fishmen, and suddenly, the tone of the Lagu Shark Hunter became kind again.
"The god of the new fish-man is a wise new god, he is more worthy of our trust, and it is under his guidance that I can arrive in time for you in times of crisis, the god is merciful, and all who believe in it will reap the benefits, if you are willing to believe in the god of the new fish-man, you can divide the flesh of this giant turtle. ”
As soon as they heard that it was beneficial, some of the shallow believers who did not have a deep level of faith wavered and couldn't help but move forward.
"Don't believe it, everyone! Betrayers will be punished by God!"
Hearing the word divine punishment, the fishmen cringed, and the plans of the Lagu Shark Hunter were disrupted, and it was very angry and decided to directly conquer the primitive fish-man tribe by force, and then force the fish-men to pray to the new fish-man god.
"Who's the patriarch! I'm going to duel with you!"
"The patriarch is dead!"
"Then I'm going to compete for your new patriarch!
The fishmen didn't dare to come out, they had already seen the power of the Lagu Shark Hunter just now, so they dared to duel with it.
"If no one comes forward, then I am your leader! I command you to ......"
A sincere believer interrupted the Lagu Shark Hunter's speech: "Outsider, you are not our Crab Fishman clan......!
The opponents were pierced through their heads by the spears that were fired, and the fishmen took a step back and shuddered.
"Who else has an opinion!"
This time, no fish-man dared to pick on the sting, and Lagu Shark Hunter successfully became the patriarch of the fish-man village, looking at the fish-man village that had been damaged by the giant turtle, and found an intact fish-man hut on the edge of the village.
Take out the statue of the new fish-man god in the dimensional bag, place it in the intact fish-man hut, and order all the fish-people to pray in front of the humble temple, and those who refuse to accept it have become the souls of its spear.
Under the pressure of life and death, the fish people did not dare to disobey, and gathered in front of the temporary temple one after another, following the Lagu shark hunter to pray loudly.
Of course, at this time, the fishmen are only superficially obedient and cannot produce the power of faith at all, but it doesn't matter, the lie is true if you say it a hundred times, pray a hundred times, and the fishmen will also become believers in the god of the new fishmen.
The Lagu Shark Hunter has completed a missionary mission and can receive a reward when he returns to the Yafi Ivy Empire, and as for the character credentials, it doesn't require that no one can lie under the double protection of magic and idols, at least a group of high-master adventurers don't have this ability.
The Bloody Missionary spent several days in the Crab Fish-Man tribe, making the hundred-man Fish-Man tribe a follower of the new Fish-Man God, and before leaving, it asked for news from the other Fish-Man tribes.
"I'll be back!"
After leaving a word, the Lagu Shark Hunter embarks on a new journey.
....................................
In the Yafi Ivey Empire, in the White Tower, the White Dragon Lord is conducting a magic experiment, and the divine power clone of the new fish-man god stands behind it.
"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to blatantly snatch believers like this," the new deity looked worried.
"The battle for the priesthood is a battle of life and death, you can only gain more believers in order to gain an advantage in the competition, don't care what means you use," the white dragon lord did the magic experiment, and did not look back: "Is there any news from the Ocean God Department?"
"I've spoken to that being, and He has agreed to let me join the Ocean Gods. ”
The White Dragon Lord breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the Ocean Goddess was a powerful existence of the highest level of divine power, and she was good at fighting, and she was moody and short-tempered, and it was really facing it head-on for no reason.
Now that Fercy Darkscale has been approved by him to join the Ocean God Line, the competition between the new Fish-Man God and the Fish-Man God is an internal competition.
"Have you been in contact with other sea gods?"
"Not yet, when I officially join the god system, I will visit them one by one. ”
"Stay safe, the god of the fish-people is very eager to kill you now, and you need to gather some information about him, just in case the dog jumps off the wall and starts a divine war before you can gain a foothold. ”
The White Dragon Lord thought for a moment: "Fercy, I will help you deal with Nordhill's Fishman Faith, and the other planes will depend on you, and besides, the competition between you and the Fishman God is an internal competition of the Ocean God Department, and if we interfere, it may cause the dissatisfaction of the Ocean Goddess, so if it is not necessary, I and the Nordhill Guardian Council will not help you openly." ”
"I understand, Your Majesty, that I have the confidence to overcome it, and I already have a preliminary idea. ”
"Oh? The White Dragon Lord felt a little curious: "Let's hear it." ”
"I look at emulating the Yafi Ivy Empire and indoctrinate the believers, although they are not as good as the fishmen of the Yafi Ivy Empire, but the indoctrinated believers are no longer stronger than the barbaric primitive fishmen, and when my believers have the advantage of strength, they can start a faith war. ”
Fercy Darkscale continued: "Also, as you said, a good life is the common desire of all living beings, and I believe that I can bring great changes to the fish-people by emulating the production methods of the Yafi Ivy Empire. ”
The White Dragon Lord nodded: "Not a bad idea, but it is a little difficult to implement, the fish-man clan is congenitally insufficient, and the fish-man of the Yafei Aiwei Empire can only be comforted by the development with my support behind me, otherwise it would have attracted the attention of the strong people of the Sea Clan and would have become a slave of production." ”
"I understand, I will also vigorously promote professional education, and let believers develop in a low-key manner until they are strong enough to protect themselves. ”
"Well, I'm sure you can do it. ”
