27 The voice of the oracle

The trick of shouting with a loudspeaker was used once as early as when Wu Xiaoqing commanded the siege.

What the effect was, he also learned from the captives afterwards, and came to the conclusion that it was okay, at least it could scare people.

Later, when he marched with everyone along the way, this big horn has always been carried by Wu Xiaoqing, and in his experience, in this era, the role of this horn is more effective than a *.

What is the biggest problem of warfare in the Middle Ages, that is, whether it is a march or a state of war, the information is relatively chaotic, because the military system is not perfect, and there is no nationalist identity. For Wu Xiaoqing, an outsider, such a small group naturally needs to be broken first, otherwise, they will organize themselves and make trouble for Wu Xiaoqing's plan in various ways.

After Wu Xiaoqing personally accepted the management of these people, the first thing he did was to break up the original small group immediately, and everyone ate according to the number, and when the bread was divided, each soldier in charge was given a whistle, and everyone ate the cake according to the whistle.

This is a method of dog training, but its practical application is the same in people, the purpose is to form a certain conditioned reflex, and everyone will subconsciously think of obedience when they hear the whistle.

When it comes to the march, the whistle is not so useful in comparison, and an ordinary whistle manages dozens, hundreds of people, in a small area, which may be okay, but it is not feasible to manage a team that stretches for several kilometers.

Therefore, Wu Xiaoqing installed loudspeakers on many carriages in the marching procession, and once there was a need to give orders to the whole army, including stopping and leaving, these conventional orders, as well as being careful, gathered these basic military orders, were issued voice commands from the loudspeakers through the search and rescue team.

This method is simple, effective, and crucial increases their "prestige" as oracles.

In the beginning, every time they shouted with a loudspeaker, everyone would be curious to surround the horn, as if they wanted to study how such a small horn could make such a loud voice, but the person who spoke did not know where it was.

When the results of the research were not obtained, everyone naturally attributed this to the "miracle" of the divine envoy.

Later, not only the order was issued, but the news of the whole army was all spread through these loudspeakers, such as taking a shower today, taking medicine today, and preparing rain gear for rain soon......

Along the way, the Elis people are almost accustomed to being dominated by the sound of these horns, and with the horns there, everyone at least feels that the oracle is always with them, caring for and noticing them. Many of the Elis officers also said that the horns were much more effective than the whips and clubs they had used.

When Wu Xiaoqing and the others left, they also took all the horns away by the way.

At that time, Wu Xiaoqing and the search and rescue team just wanted to completely eliminate the religious factor from this civilization and reduce their influence on this civilization.

But this has also had another side effect, which is that everyone has become dependent on this way of life, and now it has changed so suddenly that many people are unable to adapt to it.

Whether you can hear the free weather forecast, eat food and medicine, this is still second, the most important thing is that without the sound in the loudspeaker, everyone's spiritual world feels empty, this feeling of being abandoned by God, is really uncomfortable.

In recent times, as food rations have declined further, many people, from ordinary civilians to soldiers with weapons and armor, have begun to unconsciously participate in an activity.

Probably because it was so boring, everyone was now gathered together and ready to record every word they had heard, what the oracle had said, and what came out of the loudspeaker.

They intended to compile these records into a book, a book that recorded God's real impact on their lives, in honor of God's greatness and glory.

All believe that this kind of work is very meaningful.

It is precisely because of this work that the soldiers who had directly dealt with Wu Xiaoqing and them, and the soldiers who had been directly under Wu Xiaoqing's command, became another form of priest in these activities.

This kind of spontaneous work of spiritual civilization is in progress, and it is inevitable that it will begin to affect the current political situation.

It can be said that the horn that Wu Xiaoqing used is the source of many contradictions now.

Now, it has also become the best tool for resolving conflicts.

……

As soon as the beast's voice appeared, Tallinn drew his sword.

His first reaction was not to be afraid, although the voice sounded in the dark, it did sound penetrating, a low and penetrating roar, indicating that the other party had a huge body, and the speed of rapid approaching showed that the other party was not small.

For a while, it was impossible to tell what kind of beasts these were and how many there were.

But for a soldier in the midst of a famine and wearing full armor, even if it is the legendary dragon that can breathe fire, they are happy now.

It must have been the beasts in the nearby forest that were scared away by them, and now they are running back, Tallinn subconsciously judged.

As Tallinn drew his sword, the other soldiers showed their weapons, and then, as Tallinn commanded, everyone's formation reversed direction and stood in line in the direction from which the beast had come.

No one is afraid, and there is even a light in everyone's eyes!

Everybody's starving! Now there is a dragon standing here, and all the soldiers will be driven by hunger to become heroic dragon slayer warriors.

After the formation was set up, everyone habitually took out the magic lamp they carried with them and shone it towards the place where the sound came from.

It's just that the scope of this magic lamp is also limited, even if there are hundreds of lights in front of you, it can shoot out of the dark night, but it is only a small area in the distance, if everyone is scattered, even this small piece will not be illuminated.

But soon some people with good eyesight seemed to see the appearance of the beast from this faint light.

"I saw it!" Someone shouted, "What a big one!" ”

"What is it? Bear or Tiger? ”

"It's better to be a bear, I heard that the meat of the bear is more delicious."

"The tiger is not bad, either,"

"I look like a lion."

"No, I look more like an elephant."

"This is in the mountains, where are the elephants?"

When Tallinn was young, he followed Elise I to fight in the north and south, and he saw a lot of the world.

To say that bears and tigers have been seen when they were sleeping in the wilderness, but most of these beasts dare not approach when they see groups of people, and even if some beasts get closer, several pikemen rush up together, and the other party has little room for resistance. Even if the beast is fierce, in front of the sharp spear head, it is just a larger piece of meat, and the soldiers often leave the skin of the beast for the officers and kings to make mats, and the rest of the beast is naturally divided into large pieces for everyone to eat.

So Tallinn has really seen what a beast looks like.

Not only bears and tigers, but other lions and elephants, which he had seen after Elise I became king, and there were always some merchants who brought these treasures and sold them to the kings as playthings.

But in his experience, this one in the night in front of him didn't seem to be any kind of beast.

In terms of physical appearance, it looks like an elephant, but in terms of speed, it looks like a leopard, and when you listen to the sound, it looks like a bear.

There were many people among the guards who had bows and arrows, but this dark sky was blind, and His Majesty was in a hurry, and most of them did not bring them, otherwise Tallinn would have let people shoot a few arrows first.

It's good that I didn't bring it!

But between a dozen breaths, the beast came from a distance, and its appearance was probably also seen, about a person as tall as a person, but as long as four or five people, facing their side, with wide forehead and huge eyes, under the light of the magic lamp, its skin still shone with a cold metallic light, as if it was covered with a metal carapace.

Just when everyone was hesitating whether to rush up and stab the beast to death, the eyes of the giant beast actually glowed.

As is customary, Tallinn stood at the front of the line to direct everyone's battle, and when the light came, he only felt as if his eyes had been poked by a needle, and he subconsciously picked up the shield in his hand to block the light.

Just as his eyes were adjusting to the shield, and he was about to take off his shield and be the first to rush forward, he heard a voice.

It wasn't just him, everyone else heard it.

It was the voice of the oracle!

"Don't you remember me?" With this familiar voice, a large opening was opened in the chest of the giant beast, and a living person actually came out of it.

And then everyone recognized it! That is the Divine Envoy that everyone has been looking forward to, the Divine Envoy Wu who has commanded all of them to fight and led them all the way!

At this moment, everyone threw down their swords and weapons, and Tallinn was the first to kneel down in front of the oracle, and with his action, hundreds of guards also knelt down.

There was only one person still standing.

That is the king of Elis, Elise II, who has just ascended the throne for more than half a month.

At this moment, he didn't seem to have reacted to what was happening, he was still holding a sword in one hand, making a commanding movement forward, and holding a magic lamp in the other, and the direction of the light was facing Wu Xiaoqing.

With the help of this light, when he saw Wu Xiaoqing's face clearly, the sword in his hand could no longer be held.

"Tallinn," the search and rescue team commanded directly through the horn, "first bring the king back to rest and protect him." ”

"Yes!" Tallinn leaped from the ground, picked up his sword, and came to Elise II's side, saying, "Your Majesty, the oracle asks you to go back and rest." ”
