Under the church's food strategy, it is very easy for the people of the entire Sori Harbor to establish faith, of course, this is also a huge consumption, it can also be said to be barter, food for faith, in the eyes of outsiders, this is undoubtedly a loss-making business, but it is not a problem for Zhang Xiaojian, faith is the most important, as for food, it is inferior, if you can exchange money for faith Zhang Xiaojian will also do it.

A group of devout believers finally learned the first divine art under the holy light of the idol, which was used as a blessing. Soon they became priests and traveled around Porto Sori to spread the glory of God.

There are about 100,000 people in Soli Harbor, which is the result of the restrictions of the warlords, and if there are no warlords now, how can there be only this population in such a prosperous city as Soma.

The temple of Sori, the temple that bears the name of this place, is also the one that was only remodeled. As the first temple of the church in Africa, the Sori Temple naturally has a high status, and has been listed by Zhang Xiaojian as the chief temple of the branch of the African church. Naturally, a new round of expansion began, starting with the transformation of the hill modeled after the Holy Mountain, and allowing Burville to carve out a large piece of abandoned land around it.

Busy priests could be seen coming in and out of the temple all the time, and although the church had taken over the whole of Porto Sori, the rest of the work was piled up, and he had no mind to think about anything else until it was done.

In the streets of Porto Sori, you can see the pastor of the church preaching to the faithful.

……

Burville looked at a book and passed the time, there was no newspaper in Soma, because Soma was constantly in war, the newspaper could not be established safely, and the paper was not cheap. So usually Burville reads books to pass the time.

"Vir, how do you seem to have something on your mind?" Burville's wife, Sarah, sat beside Burville with a glass of water. He handed the water over.

Burville pushed Sarah's hand away and asked her to put the water cup on the table, he sighed heavily, "I just didn't expect that the strength of this religion is too terrifying, not only does the other party have a large amount of food in his hands, but it can meet the needs of 100,000 people." What a large amount of grain! ”

At this time, Burville felt a kind of fear, he wanted to use the hands of others to achieve himself, and only after he got on the other party's ship did he realize how powerful the shili he had joined. Although he doesn't mind that the other party is Asian, he does mind that the other party controls Soma, his mother country.

Sarah laughed and said softly: "If you are worried about this, I don't think you need to, since the other party has exchanged food for believers, there is nothing wrong with this, and it will also make fewer people starve to death." ”

"It's not like I'm worried. Yesterday Mr. Zhou found me and gave me a large amount of arms, which is enough to arm thousands of people. Burville said bitterly, although he had signed a contract with the Pope, it made him feel uneasy to give himself such a huge amount of arms resources.

Sarah thought for a moment, and suddenly something came to mind. "Will, you go to Mr. Zhou tomorrow, I think the other party is ready to let you hand over the military power."

"This!" Burville's eyes widened. I was very unsettled.

"No, that's not the case according to the agreement!" Burville had to believe his wife's words at this time, because he also guessed the same, but he didn't want to think about it.

Sarah still whispered: "Maybe the other party is not asking you to hand over the military power, but asking you to give them an army of 1,000 people, and you have tens of thousands of troops in your hands over the years." A thousand counts as nothing. ”

"Or maybe something else, just ask tomorrow." Sarah helped Burville pinch his shoulders and let him relax.

……

The ferry docked at the port of Sori had departed, and the food and munitions it was carrying had been unloaded and placed in a safe enough place.

The inhabitants of Port Sori now have a happy face on their faces. As long as they believe in the god Tuluo and reach the level of faith, they can get enough food every month to live on their own, which makes them not have to worry about hunger and have hope for life.

The whole port of Soli is full of life.

Crick was the one who benefited from this divine blessing, believing that the great god Tulo was the savior of their Soma people, and that the church was the one God had sent to save them from their suffering. At the same time, he also hopes that the entire Soma country can believe in this god who rules his destiny, and the kindness of the god makes him want to give everything.

With this state of mind, Crick became a true believer, believing in the deity with all his heart.

"Under the light of the great god Tulo, the weather is so bright today, it is a fruitful day." Crick smiled at the sea level, fishing was one of their sources of income, but in reality under the control of the warlords, more than half of the fish they caught were turned in, and then dried fish were made and distributed throughout the country.

Proximity to the sea would have been a huge advantage, compared to other countries in Africa. But Soma is still at the bottom of Africa, synonymous with poverty and backwardness.

Suddenly he saw a few more black spots on the sea level, and as he tried to look, he saw that they were several ships with black flags on them.

"No, it's a pirate!" Crick was terrified, the ferocity of the Soma pirates resounded all over the world, and he heard that Soma's warlords had to worship the Soma pirates every year, of course, no one knew the internal situation.

Crick dropped his belongings and shouted in panic: "Pirates! There are pirates! ”

His voice was loud and spread throughout the port of Porto Sori, but in just a few minutes, the entire port of Porto Sori was boiling, and the impression of being invaded by Soma pirates was still vivid.

……

"The ferry has gone back?" Zhang Xiaojian examines a document, which is from General Bailey's mansion, and it is all about the recent movements of Bailey, a warlord. The Church has no means of spying on information.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have already gone back, and it is estimated that a new batch of grain will arrive at Port Solry next month." Zhou Jue stood in front of Zhang Xiaojian's desk.

"Yes!" Zhang Xiaojian nodded, looking at the information in his hand, Bailey's movements were clear to him.

"How's the Legion of Destiny going?" Zhang Xiaojian remembered that when the temple was built, he gave Zhou Jue something to do, to build an army that could go on expeditions, of course, it did not require how high the quality was. After all, it has only just begun to build, and it takes time to hone it.

Zhang Xiaojian asked Zhou Jue to recruit an army of at least 1,000 people, otherwise it would be a little difficult to fight with Bailey, who had 100,000 troops, although the church was able to use some magic to make Bailey die unexpectedly, but after Bailey's death, the army of 100,000 people naturally needed to be managed. Relying on a pastor is undoubtedly impractical.

"Don't worry, I've already given Burville a hint to send a thousand soldiers to build a Destiny Legion for us."

Zhang Xiaojian was relieved after hearing this, the matter of building a legion was imminent, and it was necessary to establish an army belonging to the church in order to have the ability to do more things, and only when there was force in hand could there be a foundation for conquest.

At this time, a hurried voice came from outside the door, "The Pope crowned the pirates, there are pirates attacking the port of Soma!" ”

The voice of the pastor outside the door was very anxious, but Zhang Xiaojian was not in any hurry. He already knew about piracy. Bailey wants to use pirates to influence the hearts and minds of the people, shake the status of the church in the hearts of the people of Sori, so as to regain his lost hearts, although the actual power of Port Sori is in his hands, but the people are not there, this will shake his rule, and the next time he divides the interests of Port Sori, he will be kicked out of the territory of Port Sori by other warlords who are eyeing him.

Now is not the time for opposing pirates. Bailey wants to let the murderous pirates come to the other side, why don't he want to use pirates to stabilize his faith. When people are in the most critical situation, the emergence of the church will undoubtedly make the position of the church more stable and make the faith of the god Tulo stronger.

Zhang Xiaojian stood up and handed a holy emblem to Zhou Jue, "You let Lei Luo deal with it, he will solve such a thing perfectly." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Jue responded. He is a smart person, of course he knows what His Majesty the Pope is thinking now, as for letting Lei Luo do it, this is undoubtedly arranging credit for Lei Luo, this is His Majesty the Pope's preparation to promote the other party. This made Zhou Jue a little envious. Talent and good treatment are naturally different, if he doesn't rely on a line of arms provided, otherwise he won't even have his share in Africa.

Fortunately, what reassures Zhou Jue is that because the family has successfully derived its hands into a large piece of territory in Africa, although every money earned must be donated to the church, but it is enough for his family to expand rapidly, such a big cake in Africa, the cream is so sweet, it can make a thin man become a fat man.

……

"You devils!" Creek roared, at this moment he and hundreds of the inhabitants of Porto Soli were surrounded by pirates, and in front of him there was a young girl who had been violated, and he wanted to save it, but he was too weak.

"Haha!" A bald pirate laughed, "I like the name devil, this chick is good, brothers come and try it!" ”

The bald pirate obviously had a high status among this group of pirates, and after he finished speaking, he smiled at Creek with a hideous smile: "You little baby looks good, you can sell it for a good price, many people need such a manservant!" ”

Crick took a step back in horror, but when he saw the girl's plea for mercy, his heart was filled with grief, and he mustered up the courage to roar loudly: "You will be punished by God!" Tullo, the great and supreme master of fate, will throw you all into the abyss! ”

Another capable pirate went up and punched Creek, which was so hard that he vomited out his stomach.

"Haha, God? God or Allah? Or the Buddha? Neither! What kind of false god do you call me, but a in my opinion! It's okay to take a look, scare us hum! The capable pirate daxiao mocked the gods in their hearts unscrupulously, "I tell you, I'm going to smear shit on his idol later, and I'll show you when the time comes!" ”

The pirates daxiao up with the words of the lean pirates.

All the inhabitants of Porto Soli looked angrily at the pirates in front of them, praying in their hearts to their gods to save them, and Crick's heart was full of rage, these are blaspheming the great gods!

The favor they had received in the past few days had made them establish a good faith in Toulo and began to defend their faith. It's just that they didn't dare to move, because dozens of guns were pointed at them.

The pirates are completing the mission given to them by General Bailey to destroy the faith in the hearts of these inhabitants.

As the pirates uttered more and more insults to Tulo, they looked at the faces of the inhabitants with more and more ugly looks, which gave them a growing sense of accomplishment.

It's just that they didn't notice that the originally clear sky was now overcast. (To be continued......)
