Chapter 36: Black Town III
"You're good," said Milton and Michelle when they finished talking, and Asa Constanstein approached him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Do you want to be my paladin? I remember when you were a child as a believer in my church, what happened to you? I think we need to have a good talk, and it just so happens that I have some advice for Green Horn as well......"
Why did Asa say Milton was good?
Because when he got to Milton's position, he still put Catherine's friend's position so high, and even begged for his friend's sake...... Such people are certainly good!
Perhaps for Shen Yan and Penny, their impression of Milton is still stuck in the head of a village - but those who really follow the situation on the mainland all the time know that Milton is no longer what it used to be! With the influx of people from the north, Green Horn has become one of the top cities on the mainland.
Shen Yan has built a new world, and his friends don't seem to be bad, and they haven't stopped.
In fact, in the two years since Shen Yan left, the situation on the mainland was like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly detonated! Suddenly, there have been so many changes, even if it is called earth-shattering!
The demon army poured into the main plane like a tidal wave, led by four god-level demon monarchs, and launched a fierce attack in several directions at the same time! The war against demons is finally in full swing! Although the Demon Sovereign's body could not yet enter the main plane, it had already caused great pressure on the entire world.
Former Emperor Jeremy Constance suddenly appears in the imperial capital and launches an internal rebellion in a vain attempt to take over the empire. The regent, Felix Constance, refused to hand over power on the grounds that the emperor would die in battle for violating the ancestral system (the emperor would die in battle in the bronze fortress), and the supporters of both sides fought and the imperial capital fell into chaos. Fortunately, the soldiers on the front line firmly believed that His Majesty the Emperor had sacrificed his life for the country, and he would not retreat from the battle, and he could maintain the battle line.
Asa Constance, the god of nobility, has suddenly issued an oracle pointing out that Jeremy has taken refuge in Hell in a vain attempt to drag the entire Swan Plane into a bloody battle! And the nobles of the imperial capital gathered in the imperial capital to loot materials and gather in the imperial capital, busy fighting for power and profit, but turning a blind eye to the needs of the legions on the front line, also for their own selfishness! In view of this, in the name of the god of nobility and the ancestor of the Constance family, he announced the abolition of the Constance family's natural inheritance to the throne!
And announced the resumption of the wartime aristocracy!
The so-called wartime aristocracy is a system that is used when the survival of the country is in danger. The specific content includes that all nobles must be responsible for defending the land, and losing their fiefs will also lose their noble status; Regardless of origin, nobility is assessed by military merit, and so on...... In short, this is a special equality in a special period, and opportunities are open to the people of the lower classes.
Asa's meaning is very clear, the current aristocracy has money and soldiers in their hands, and their advantage is much higher than others at the beginning. If that's not enough to compete - then die! The Constance family was nothing more than bandits in the first place......
Seeing that the morale of the empire was greatly boosted, and the former emperor Jeremy who wanted to make trouble was about to make a mess and get out of the way, Shen Yan's pen pal jumped out again and made a big news - the fourth-layer lord of hell, Filna, suddenly appeared on the bloody battlefield without warning, wrapped in the black flames of hell, riding the hell dragon (Grace: Let me tell you, I am this dragon), and slashed countless demon monarchs in a row!
Then it drifted away, leaving behind the name of "Filna's Flame Sword" to shock the lower planes, and the ferocity was unmatched for a while!
The Demon Legion was beaten with a confused face, and he didn't know why he was beaten, is it interesting for you to come over and mow the grass with the real body of a plane lord? Excuse me! You have the ability to go head-to-head with my two-headed baboon! Wait, baboon-sama! I'm not saying #¥@%#@#&......
Only the people of the 100+ Abyss Plane know why they were beaten...... Silent tears flow from the bottom of my heart! Of the dozen monarchs who died, half of them were demons, and three of the four god-level monarchs died, so they were obviously targeted!
What's going to happen next?!
Fortunately, among the god-level monarchs, there is still such a lone seedling as the Cerberus patriarch who has not been slaughtered, otherwise there is really no need to fight!
Filna and Grace complete a beautiful "purge the dissidents" operation and develop the future lord next door into an inner ghost, which is simply the most successful rebellion plot in the history of Hell! Of course, there are a little side effects...... Because the forces of hell have shown enough "sincerity" and strength, they are completely different from the scum of the abyss who only want to eat people but have no way to sell the country!
As a result, the empire was unsurprisingly divided, and a group of nobles, despaired by the oracle of Asa, followed Jeremy to the camp of hell.
At this time, Thuvarie's Southern Army broke through the Great Demon Rift and appeared on the territory of the Empire, shocking the whole world!
Hasn't the South fallen for more than a hundred years?
Humanity still has an army in the south?!
*****
However, not only that, but also very capable of fighting!
After the unification of the peninsula, the main force of Xiuvarier was on the peninsula, and the main force of the "Templar" was also on the peninsula for the time being - in the case of the "Awakening Elixir" only circulating internally, it can be said that 99% of the Awakened in the world are in the arms of both (Xiuvarier annexed the remnants of the Awakened Legion in Upper and Lower Penryn).
Why can't the human army withstand the demon army in the field?
All the while, the demon army has not been without problems. On the contrary, their problems are on the bright side, and everyone can see them. But the biggest problem is that the combat power of human soldiers can't match the strength of middle and high-level demons! Often, if you want to expel or even destroy a high-level demon, you need to pay the price of thousands of cavalry or lizardman heavy infantry, and this price is too high to bear!
But what do northerners see now?
Those "southern soldiers" with two-handed gun blades in their hands can actually go head-to-head with a mid-level demon like the Berserker Demon in their hands! When seven or eight get together, they dare to drag and besiege high-level demons! It's really not good, and there are level 16 masters rushing to help...... This heart, if you don't accept it, you can't do it!
I just want to know, what have you southerners eaten all these years?
The demon army is a lion with a pack of wolves and a large group of huskies, in the past, lions and wolves tore apart, and the huskies rushed in to demolish the house! Now that the lion and the wolf have been overpowered, the husky has immediately returned to its true colors......
The ordinary infantry legion of human beings has an absolute advantage in the "swarm" formation composed of demons and cowardly demons! And the demon low-level legions that could still maintain a "swarm" formation under the overwhelming rain of arrows did not have a single one. What's more, like the Lizardman Legion, in terms of individual strength, it completely crushes low-level demons; In terms of quantity, in fact, human beings are not false demons, there is a gap but there is not a huge difference.
In short, as soon as Huvarier stepped onto the continental stage, he made the whole world remember his name with a series of brilliant victories!
There is a smuggling network to lead the way and provide supplies, there is a "Templar" organization to help in the combat force, and there is a certain puppy who sells the abyss to fully cooperate...... As soon as Shovarier appeared on the mainland, he showed an incomparable imperial posture!
He drew the sword of the king, unified the Penglin Peninsula, counterattacked the Cloud Plateau, and conquered the Great Rift of the Demons, which also spread throughout the swan world with the singing of the bard.
*****
The topic comes back.
During this period, if the most famous person in the swan world was the king of the south, Thuwarier, then Milton, the former guerrilla captain, and now the lord of a city, Green Horn City, as a city of freedom, a city of commerce (smuggling city), a land of dreams, and the headquarters of the two major organizations of "Templar" and "Hospital", the reputation of the city lord Milton can at least rank among the top ten on the mainland!
So Milton's faith is no longer a personal issue, it's a political one!
Why did Asa say it at this time? Take the smuggling route and play the emotional card.
Of course, he knew very well why Milton no longer believed in the gods of nobility in the first place - the bald head was an illegitimate child in the first place, and bastards were not recognized in the aristocratic order.
But now the situation has changed - Milton no longer needs the skin of the nobility to show his status, but the aristocratic system needs him! Not only did he need his faith, but he also needed Milton to recognize his ancestors and become a member of the nobility again. Putting Milton and Green Horn City outside the aristocratic system is tantamount to proving that there is no big deal without nobles, and proving that "the prince and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning"...... This is a great disservice to the entire aristocratic system.
Asa was still working hard here, but he heard "cough~~!" from there. Atwood coughed dryly twice - indicating that Lao Tzu is not dead, you dare to poach in front of Lao Tzu?
Don't look at the old man thinking about the problem of old enemies, but when it comes to fighting for faith, Atwood is also unambiguous! The Church of the God of Courage is currently the only church in Green Horn City (Moore was assigned to Green Horn Village as a missionary, but it turned out to be a mistake), and if you want to believe it, you can believe me!
At least the belief in the God of Courage only involves Milton himself, and does not affect the structure of the entire Green Horn City too much.
"Since you are my disciple's friend, then you are not an outsider, come and sit with me." Atwood ignored Asa and turned to Milton with a pleasant face.
"Wait, I'm also your disciple's friend!" Asa was anxious, "Don't you make a mess?" Now that the world is at war with demons, can you still be without your faith? However, the development of Green Horn Bay City is already a bottleneck at this scale, and it is not a matter of courage to continue to develop by establishing a stable aristocratic system......"
If the city of Green Horn really establishes an aristocratic system, then the faith here will be stable for the next few hundred years.
"The aristocratic system of bullshit! Look at your feet, which of the Emerald City and the twenty or so big towns has an aristocratic system? Won't they survive? Don't live a good life! I think it's much better than your broken empire! Atwood scoffed at this, "Since Shen Yan has established this kingdom for people to see, I guess he wants to show you people something...... As a result, you're still holding on to your set! ”
"......" Asa Constance was speechless.
Can he not understand what Shen Yan meant? He actually understood! Moreover, the so-called "wartime aristocracy" is a product of this thinking. But Asa was still thinking about how to improve within the framework of the aristocracy, rather than start from scratch......
