1111 Rather hurtful chapter number
The forces that Zoroastria had managed to operate with great difficulty in the desert kingdom were all destroyed, and even the will of the god of fire was dispersed by the pope of the Cult of Fortune.
Without mercy.
Everyone in the world was surprised, but they also felt quite reasonable. The two brave men of the Cult of Fortune God dare to kill even the evil gods, as the beta pope who guides their growth, the great sage in the epic, it is not a strange thing to destroy a divine doppelganger.
Moreover, the god of fire is not a powerful god, and part of the divinity of the priesthood of 'fire' is placed on the goddess of light. After all, Dayang is also moxibustion hot in the eyes of the world.
In the same vein, there is an overlap between Akua's Ice Divinity and Loya's Ice Divinity.
Ice is the solid form of water, which is supposed to be completely under the control of Akuya, but Loya's frost divinity is essentially pure coldness, the coldness of all things, and water is also included.
Therefore, the two share the icy divinity.
Many of the godheads of the gods have some overlap and share.
This part of the divinity will be weakened by separation.
For this reason, the god of fire is not very strong, and only in particularly cold places, there will be more people who believe in flames. But in cold places, there are many people who believe in the sun, which causes the people in the north to have a somewhat scattered faith.
There weren't many people in the cold regions, and once this faith was dispersed, there weren't many left.
This is also the reason why the Zoroastrians extend their tentacles to the south.
After all, for the Cult to develop, there must be enough people to believe.
But unexpectedly, as soon as the tentacles reached the desert kingdom and wanted to enter Hollevon again, they caused extreme resistance. Especially the revolt from the royal family and aristocratic forces. Zoroastrianism is a theocratic sect, and the areas where they have a dominant position have always been called by the aristocratic forces as their younger brothers.
Even aristocratic ladies sometimes have to use their bodies to pay administrative taxes.
It is strange that such a god cult is liked by the nobles of Hollevin.
In comparison, the Cult of Fortune is simply a saint.
King Hollevin drove his own expedition and defeated the Zoroastrians, who finally succeeded in assassinating him, but did not kill the king, but aroused the anger of the whole Hollevin.
Later, the Cult of Fortune joined the religious battlefield, and its pope even forcibly tore down the Colossus of Vulcan, broke the will of Vulcan, and used brute force to break the divine influence placed by Vulcan in the desert kingdom.
In the end, the coalition of lords of Hollevon combed back and forth through the Desert Kingdom like a comb.
While cleaning up the remnants of Zoroastrianism, while suppressing the resistance.
It took half a year to successfully reduce the population of the desert kingdom to about half, and most of the dead were young and strong men.
After winning the battle, the Cult of Fortune completely withdrew from the Desert Kingdom.
Beta knew about the tragedy that happened in the Desert Kingdom, but did not intervene. The subjugation of another country by one country, and the subjugation of another by one nation, is never done with Huairou, the first thing is to kill...... Kill until not many people resist.
Beta knew this process very well, he didn't want to stop it, he could only do it, let the Fortune God Cult completely withdraw and not get involved in such a thing.
The dividends brought by the victory of the war made the business of Hollevin more prosperous. A great deal of wealth was looted into the country. Gold, Minerals, and ...... A large number of desert slave girls.
In just half a year, the pockets of all the people in the entire Holebin seem to be bulging.
And in Wojin City, a new round of pioneering meetings is being held.
"Now the royal family of Hollevan has given us the promised territory as agreed." Beta patted on a large map and said, "The one with the red circle is our territory." ”
Everyone's eyes looked over and they all frowned.
A few red circles are scattered, not to mention, but also far apart.
Anyone who has a little common sense about the geography of the desert kingdom knows that those few lands are almost all uninhabited, originally deserts, with no minerals and no oases.
"I know that the land I have received is not very good." Beta smiled, "But I'm still the same." In the war, we did not contribute much, and the frontal battlefield was all resisted by the royal family and the lords. The king did what he had promised, and even if it was a little bit of land, he did his best. ”
Seeing that the Pope said so, the others naturally had no opinion.
Besides, what Beta said is indeed telling the truth, the chaplains of the Fortune God Cult have always been safe, and after this battle, only thirteen of them died, and they were still killed on the spot by stray arrows, and they couldn't be saved, so they could only be said to be too lucky.
And in the end, Beta made a move to crack the divine influence, and he didn't even have a decent opponent, and the strength of the Vulcan was too limited by the main plane to even take a blow from him.
"We definitely want it, after all, as long as we work hard to improve it, it can become fertile soil." Beta patted the map again and said, "Now that Hollevon has been almost developed by us, next, our energy will be focused on these places, first diverting water to turn them into oases, then building desert road connections, and finally radiating to the surrounding area, and the entire desert kingdom ...... It is time to turn the Western Desert of Hollevon into a fertile land for habitation and commerce. ”
This is a huge project, a more exaggerated project than the previous canal dug project. The archbishops below all took a breath of cold air, and the eyes of the Holy Maiden Joan were shining.
She took the initiative to stand up and said, "Pope, how about the northwesternmost piece of land to be handed over to me to manage?" ”
"No problem." Beta nodded, it would be best if someone was willing to take the lead in standing up and taking responsibility.
"Then the westernmost middle piece will be given to the old man." An elderly archbishop stood up: "While I can still move, do more work for the faithful." ”
Then one by one the archbishops stepped forward and quickly divided the whole task.
After dividing the responsibilities of the area, Beta said, "This time, the Water God Cult and the Elven Clan will also come to assist us, otherwise it would be difficult for us to divert water and build an oasis in the desert area alone. ”
Everyone thought it was reasonable.
But the eldest archbishop, who was the second to stand up just now, asked: "Pope, what benefits do we have to give up in this way?" ”
As a sect with a fairly deep commercial atmosphere, most people have a basic concept of interest exchange. In their minds, they have to give something to get something.
Beta sat down and said, "The Water God Sect and we are sister sects, our interests are tied together, one is prosperous, and the other is lost, and they will not have any interest appeals. It's elves...... They hope to be granted the right to honorary citizens in the future. ”
"What do you mean?" The elderly archbishop continued.
"That is, in the future, the elves will enjoy the same treatment as our ordinary believers, and they can enjoy the legitimate rights and interests of buying houses, living, and doing business on the land of our divine religion. Also under our protection. ”
"It's not too much to ask." The elderly archbishop sat down.
In fact, not only is it not excessive, but it is also somewhat profitable. In Beta's opinion, the elves have been on their own territory for a long time, in case they have feelings or something like that, how good it would be to give birth to some half-elves, and slowly improve the genes of humans in disguise. Moreover, the art and aesthetics of the elves can also play a certain leading role in the spiritual civilization of the human world.
Although Beta is also human, to put it mildly, compared to elves, human artwork is indeed a bit 'rough'.
And the benefits of the elves are...... Able to move around the outside world safely.
Coco Yara has always wanted to let the elves out, but 'safety' is a big problem, after all, there are too many slave catchers. The Cult of Fortune prohibits the slave trade, and although Vorgold will buy a lot of slaves, it will then set the slaves free and become their citizens.
For such a sect, Coco Yala is very relieved.
So this time the desert transformation plan, after she heard the rumors, she took the initiative to come and said that she wanted to help.
"After this desert transformation program is completed, I will consider subdividing the responsibilities of the core leadership." Beta looked at everyone and said, "With the expansion of the Divine Cult, the current leadership can no longer manage the entire Divine Cult well, so the introduction of internal affairs elites and the refinement of responsibilities are imminent. And this desert transformation plan is a good time for talent selection. Archbishops, bishops of the temples everywhere, work hard. At the same time, we must also pay attention to whether there are such talents under our own team, and if there is, we must cultivate them well, and if not, we must step up our efforts to guide them. ”
Beta paused and took a sip of water.
After two or three seconds of silence, the meeting scene seemed to explode, and there was an uproar.
Everyone understood what Beta meant...... He's going to split power.
Previously, the power of the Cult of Fortune had always been in the hands of Beta and his women. In the Cult of God, he says that no one can disobey him. But no one was dissatisfied with this, after all, Beta, the pope, had done a great job, with strong self-control, young and wise, and ridiculously strong, even if he held power for another forty or fifty years, there would be no problem.
No one ever thought that Beta would be willing to split power.
But since Beta is willing to share power, they naturally dare to ...... I also want it very much.
Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, and power is above it.
Being able to enter the core leadership is essentially a manifestation of self-ability.
After seeing the archbishops, who were discussing with each other in amazement, Beta left the papal throne and left through the secret door in the back. What the meeting was going to say had been said, and he knew that the archbishops were now blown up by him, and they couldn't calm down for a while.
Beta returned to the study, and Shirley walked over and smiled, "I didn't expect you to be willing to give up power so soon." I just mentioned it casually last time. ”
"Sooner or later. It is impossible for a few of you to truly run a big sect. Making a decision early is a good thing, both for the Cult and for us. Beta paused, hugged Shirley's slender waist, and said, "In the past few years, you have been the hardest worker. ”
Shirley smiled and said, "Then compensate me more." ”
