Chapter 501: Dirty ...... trade

The western frontier of the Empire, the Twilight City.

This medium-sized city, originally part of a small neutral principality on the border of the Tampas Union, has always been a holiday destination for many dignitaries and dignitaries from neighboring countries because of its beautiful scenery and pleasant scenery.

However, now, it has been taken over by the imperial army, and a large number of craftsmen and slaves have moved in with a large amount of supplies, and then a large-scale upgrade and expansion project has begun, such as magic towers, large defensive magic arrays, moats, and higher and thicker walls.

In two months, there have been as many as ten elite legions of the empire that have been sent over one after another, as well as a corresponding number of garrison legions, and the equipment level of these reserve troops is not inferior to the regular armies of other empires, but in the Xingshan Empire, they only need to be responsible for maintaining order in the occupied territories, as well as logistics and transportation.

An Long, who had been promoted to the rank of Imperial Marshal, was patrolling the camp surrounded by a group of high-ranking generals.

"The guys on the other side are not slow."

He raised the silver-gray high-powered tactical telescope in his hand and looked out of the defensive line, which was the border of the Sidal dynasty, and now it was also a construction scene in full swing.

A legendary mage laughed, "We are building a lot of construction here, how can the Sidal dynasty turn a blind eye?" It must be-for-tat, but they are destined to work in vain. As long as His Majesty the Emperor's offensive order arrived, it would take at most half a day to bulldoze their defensive line. ”

Marshal An Long smiled, thinking deeply in his heart, the strength of the Xingshan Empire's military strength has been fully proven in recent years, and those other great powers want to confront it, and they don't want to try it without a five-fold military superiority.

The Sidal Dynasty may be called a rich country and a strong army, but its territory is only more than 1,400 square kilometers, and its population is less than 300 million, which is not as good as the former Tampas Alliance and the Bloman Empire.

For this reason, the Empress Della of the dynasty asked for help from neighboring countries everywhere, and on the other hand, she sent a high-level envoy delegation to visit the Xingshan Empire, and privately promised Qin Feng extremely generous conditions, hoping that the Xingshan Empire could open up to the Sidal Dynasty.

The empress had promised that as long as Qin Feng was willing to let go, she could marry her two princesses to him and cede several wealthy provinces as dowries, and the Sidar dynasty could even nominally submit to the Xingshan Empire.

It's just that such a clause obviously can't satisfy Qin Feng, what he wants is the entire Xingmeng Continent, so the preparation plan is still going on as usual.

"Your Excellency Marshal, a new batch of priests and priests will arrive here in half a day, please make arrangements." A cardinal with a serious expression walked over and said, the aura of holy light around him was strong, gentle and majestic.

Marshal An Long looked slightly happy: "Is it so fast?" Great, I thought I'd have to wait a few more days. You can rest assured that their exclusive camp and all the necessary supplies are already in place. ”

Cardinal Cooper nodded, the number of priests and priests who came to the aid this time was as high as 6,000, as long as it was used well, it was enough to affect the outcome of a big battle, and it could significantly reduce the casualty rate of the soldiers in the army, which was extremely important to the military leadership.

A lieutenant general said with emotion: "After Your Majesty is officially canonized, there will basically be no shortage of priests and priests in our imperial army, and it will be easier to fight." ”

Everyone deeply thought that although the empire had been cultivating clergy in batches in the past, it was only because His Majesty the Emperor had not yet officially become a god that he could not give them the ability to use divine arts, so many things were inconvenient, but now there is no need to worry.

Two months ago, when the hundreds of millions of believers of the empire participated in the vespers ceremony, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the holy emblems on the altars of the temples in various places emitted a strong holy light, and all the clergy had a different number of divine arts according to their respective ranks.

In the oracle that was later issued, the bishops everywhere received the news that made them happy: His Majesty the Emperor had finally been officially canonized.

From then on, they are the servants of the true God on earth, spreading the faith, shepherding all beings, and after death, they can enter the kingdom of God, have a long youth, and be with God forever.

After the shortcomings of the priests and priests are filled, the combat power of the imperial army will be further improved, and it will have more advantages against the legions of other powers, and it is foreseeable that the next expansion will be faster and smoother.

The imperial capital of Lingxiao City.

With the Grand Temple of Cardinals as the center, the entire Imperial City area is bathed in warm and bright holy light, day and night.

There is a large-scale blessing magic technique personally applied by Qin Feng here, and the permanent effect has been solidified, and the people who live here all year round will be energetic and inviolable, and even the area outside the imperial city will benefit a lot.

Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has built a number of high-level sanatoriums in the area near the imperial city, and those who are weak and sickly, or the strong who have been injured for many years, as long as they come to live for a period of time, they will have a good recovery effect.

In the depths of the temple, Qin Feng was meditating.

In the consciousness, the golden crystals representing the four priesthoods of shadow, killing, protection, and justice are slowly flying and circling around the godhead, emitting ten thousand bright glows, and a massive amount of faith power is like a surging river.

After the identity of the true god was revealed, the number of believers in the church increased rapidly, and many people who were originally in a state of neutrality and wait-and-see converted to the faith, and most of the former shallow believers became ordinary believers, and many ordinary believers became true believers, and so on, the power of faith harvested by Qin Feng has increased by five or six times now.

Today, the number of believers who believe in Qin Feng has exceeded 500 million, and the scale is increasing by nearly one million every day. Perhaps in a year's time, it will be expected to catch up with the scale of followers of the main god of war, Aulopton

"My Majesty, how does it feel to be a true God?" Queen Brünnhilde asked with a smile.

"I feel like I'm having a heavier responsibility on my shoulders." He opened his eyes and said.

"Indeed, the hope of the hundreds of millions of people of the empire is in you, so you must succeed." She said quietly.

Of course, Qin Feng understood what she meant, the time for her to stay in the mortal world in public was short, and the open and secret battles above the heavenly dome were even more unpredictable, and most of the gods regarded themselves as thorns in their eyes and rule-breakers, so it was inevitable that they would be hostile and excluded after going up.

Fortunately, he is also not a soft persimmon, no matter who wants to take advantage of himself, he has to pay a more painful price.

"I think...... No, it's my belief that as long as I return to the Heavenly Dome, I will definitely face a divine war within a year or two, and it is very likely that more than one god will wage war against me. Qin Feng said slowly.

He had never wanted to be a god who followed the rules, let alone agreed with the rules of the game set by those gods, so the result of falling out with the gods and fighting with the gods in the future was inevitable.

"Are you sure you can win?" Brunhilde asked.

"Of course, and no matter which god it is, as long as it dares to join the camp against me, I will dare to let its followers in the mortal world die!" Qin Feng said coldly.

When he is faced with an existential crisis, he will not talk about any ridiculous morality and righteousness, but will only use all means to fight back fiercely, so that his enemies will also suffer unbearable heavy losses.

"In fact, the divine war will not necessarily happen, Your Majesty still has nearly three years in the human world, and it is not a problem to consolidate the realm of powerful divine power at all, even it is not impossible to reach the peak of powerful divine power, so those gods may not be stupid." Brunhilde mused.

Qin Feng said: "Of course, this is the best, but the preparations that should be made are still indispensable." ”

His current divine power level is 17, and the number of believers is growing rapidly, so when he returns to the Heavenly Dome, it shouldn't be a problem to push his godhead to the peak level of 19. At that time, no matter how much Oropton wanted to kill himself, he would have to think twice before starting the God War.

What's more, the number of nuclear submarines on combat readiness duty in the deep ocean has now exceeded 50, and after receiving the order to fire, the ICBMs they carry can be launched within half an hour, which is enough to turn the entire Qingyan Continent into a sea of purgatory.

Of course, this is a last resort and will not be used until the last resort.

Abyssal World.

Under the dark red sky, from time to time, large streams of fire and meteorites fell from the sky, the earth was full of devastation, lava rivers could be seen everywhere, and groups of low-level demons roamed and haunted, and from time to time bloody battles would break out.

In the heart of a certain abyss, there is a large group of castles of extraordinary size, and in the lavish palaces, the incarnation of the god of war, Aulopton, sits on a throne, smiling and toasting to a handsome young man in a golden robe on the throne, and then drinks it all.

On the crystal floor tiles below, a group of stunning succubi dressed in transparent tulle are dancing, the music is melodious, and there are many demon kings accompanying the surrounding feasts.

"Your Highness has rarely set foot in the abyss in the past, and this time I came to visit, I don't know why?"

After a moment, the young man's elegant and peaceful voice sounded.

The incarnation of the god of war put down the wine glass and said: "Your Royal Highness Balzaro, I really have something to ask for this time, the situation on the Xingmeng Continent has undergone some bad changes, and some sinners have turned their backs on the glory of the gods and forgotten the majesty of the gods, so they need to be punished enough." ”

This young man with an extraordinary appearance is the supreme master of this abyss, the demon lord Balzaro. At least in the abyssal environment, its power is no less than that of a powerful god.

In the eyes of the outside world, the gods on the heavenly dome and the demons in the abyss world have always been mortal enemies, and the struggle between the two sides has lasted for thousands of years, and there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence. It's just that today's scene has subverted the imagination of many people.

Balzaro muttered: "The plane laws of the Star World will not allow powerful beings above the gods to set foot at will, and the superiors of our demon clan are no exception, Your Highness wants to ask me to help, but it makes me a little embarrassed." ”

The incarnation of the god of war smiled and said: "No, no, no, Your Highness, you have misunderstood, I mean, you have countless demon legions under your command, as long as you send millions of demons to the surface and destroy that human country!" ”

"I see."

Balzaro understood that the god of war wanted to borrow troops from him to teach a lesson to a disobedient human empire on the Star Continent.

Similar acts of cooperation have not been unheard of in the past. For example, a number of demigod-level demon kings were dispatched to assassinate a human being on the continent who had the qualification to become a god. Moreover, the price paid by the gods is very rich, so the demon lords of the abyss are usually happy to see such a deal come to fruition.
