Chapter 997: Blackmail
"Mass religious ceremonies are really easy to exaggerate the atmosphere...... It's no wonder that churches are so fond of holding regular services and canonical ......"
Reelin, who withdrew his gaze, shook his head.
It was only a matter of time before Chihuahua and the original tribesmen fell into his hands, and I believe that after understanding his meaning, the mention will make good use of the value of the Barbara Virgin.
And Leylin, who has completed all this, has set his sights on Bankz Island.
He didn't have so much time to wait to slowly subdue the natives on Chihuahua Island, he had to defeat a few big tribes as soon as possible, condense enough divinity, and even promote to demigod to challenge the Zacatekaz Empire.
Under the situation of loosening the outside and tightening the inside, a new round of combat preparations has begun to be carried out silently.
"The conquest of the indigenous continent, in addition to killing and servant armies, must also rely on the help of plague and death......"
Lei Lin's eyes are gloomy, if you want to really be small and big, these two aspects must be indispensable.
If it weren't for the constraints of the situation, and the anxiety about outsiders, Lei Lin would have sent someone to the Plague Lady's church for help.
Anyway, given the evil nature of the other party, it must be a very happy thing to let her help cast the plague.
"Forget it...... It's better to keep the secret of the belief of the natives a secret for the time being, and it's a big deal to do it myself......"
There was arrogance in Leylin's heart.
For a wizard, it takes some time, it is not difficult for him to create a plague or something, and even, with the power of the warlock's bloodline, he can also develop diseases specifically for the natives. Increase the infectivity and lethality of the opponent, and completely wipe out the opponent!
Of course. It doesn't need to be so terrifying, but it's still necessary as a threat.
Think about it. What kind of force will be formed by the fact that all the tribes that are enemies of Leylin are plagued, and people will die at any time, but the natives who take refuge in him will be redeemed?
Although some priests' magic has the effect of removing diseases, how many high-ranking priests do they have? and how many civilians do they have? Due to the limitation of the magic position, I am afraid it would be good to be able to save all the nobles.
Moreover, the other party's gods are still only that kind of earth-bound spirits, at most the demigod level, and the highest level of divine skills can only be given to the fifth level. The number is incomparable to that of the true gods, which is another big limitation.
After conquering Chihuahua Island, Leylin's expeditionary force can be said to have laid a solid nail next to Bankz Island.
With the long-distance fleet in control of the sea, the opponent's counterattack will not have any effect.
In other words, even if the other party finds out now, and the administrative and mobilization efficiency is terrifying, it will not be able to drive Lei Lin away from here.
And the subdued Chihuahua tribe will continue to provide Leylin's expeditionary force with supplies, warriors, and most importantly, faith!
The natives that had been carried on the Leylin fleet had been sent down to serve as ordinary translators and magistrates. Assist Leylin's army in governing the entire tribe.
- Although the high-level mages have spells such as [Proficiency in Language], it is impossible for Lei Lin to equip everyone with spell scrolls for the grassroots level, so translation and the like are very important.
Of course. This is only the first generation, and then it will begin to forcibly abolish the script and language of the native people and promote the common language of the mainland.
Basically. This is a set of patterns of colonial development, which has been remodeled by Lei Lin. But the most important economic plunder has become the occupation of faith.
Wait until this pattern is basically complete. Almost a month has passed, and the original 5,000 pirates have already had 2,000 old and weak soldiers, or the wounded were sent down by Lei Lin as grassroots officials and the like.
Then, with the remaining 3,000 pirates, Leylin began to travel to Bankz Island, the true continent of the natives!
Thirty thousand against million! sounds crazy, but after a series of events, everyone in the fleet has a strong faith in Thunderlin.
This kind of fanatical belief is a necessary condition for turning into a fanatical believer! I believe that after Lei Lin led this group of pirates to accomplish this seemingly impossible feat, the surviving people will inevitably turn to his pious fanaticism!
As he approached Bankz Island, Leylin gave the order to halt the entire fleet, as if waiting for something.
For him now, every soldier is very precious, and it is too risky to go deep alone.
And according to his previous plan, it should be time to seize a piece of territory without blood.
Whoosh!
About four or five hourglass hours later, a red figure flew straight from the distant sky and landed on Leylin's deck.
"According to your plan, I brought him here!"
The person who came was of course Isabelle, at this time the other party had completely turned into a half-dragon, his body was covered with crimson dragon scales, a pair of huge flesh-red dragon wings appeared on his back, and the pupils in his eyes had also been transformed into vertical pupils unique to dragons.
However, at this time, Isabel looked a little embarrassed, and the scales on her back were even more shattered.
"What's the matter?" As soon as Leylin raised his hand, a healing arcane technique had directly covered Isabelle's body, and a large number of shattered scales were quickly reborn.
"When I robbed people, I was discovered by the totem spirit and attracted a chase, but as you said, after chasing the other tribe for a while, the other party automatically went back......"
Isabelle's face looked much better, and she threw an unconscious native in her hand directly onto the deck.
The captured natives were dressed in bright and bright robes, and their ruddy faces and delicate skin showed that the other party lived a pampered and privileged life, at least at the same level as the previous Great Chief of Chihuahua Island.
"Very well, imprison him at the bottom of the ship, be careful not to let him die, and then we can happily extort ransom from each other's tribes and so on......"
Leylin waved his hand, and immediately two pirates stepped forward and carried the unconscious native chief down.
"Such a crude plan, will the other party fall for it?"
Although Leylin now has some of the majesty of a god, Isabel is the other party's cousin after all, so she can still ask this question - the mention on the side has no meaning to question it at all, as if what Leylin said is the truth!
"Who knows, but it's always a good idea to try......"
Lei Lin shrugged his shoulders and said, but he felt that the probability of such a plan succeeding was very high.
Don't think too highly of the natives, they are ignorant, ignorant, and full of a kind of childishness. Also in the Americas in the previous life, those Western colonizers obtained thousands of pounds of gold and silver and the like in the Americas alone through this way of extortion.
Although the situation on both sides is different, these natives have high-level priests such as high priests who worship totem spirits, which can be called a system where divine power and royal power are on the same track, but a big chief should always have some lineage and loyalty, right?
Anyway, Lei Lin has already decided, if this doesn't work, it's a big deal to kill and try again, and next time I'll catch a high priest or something.
Fortunately, the other tribe did not seem to be willing to let the big chief die, and after Lei Lin sent an envoy, the other party's men and horses arrived quickly.
At the agreed offshore location, a large wave of natives rowed dozens of canoes to the Crimson Tiger.
The pirates on the deck looked at the canoe below, their faces full of disdain.
In their opinion, as long as their big ship casually swings its tail, it can wipe out all these natives and overturn the boat.
But then, they couldn't take their eyes off it, and any ridicule and attempt to attack the natives would provoke a fierce attack.
Because they saw the golden light! Lots of golden light on the canoe!
Huang Tengteng's gold vessels, as well as large chunks of dog's head gold, were carried to the deck by these natives as ransom for their chieftain.
The sparkling color dazzled the eyes of all the pirates, and their faces were filled with greed.
Isn't that why these people came out to be pirates, fighting the dangerous depths of the sea and armed merchant ships?
"It's not much in total, but it's still attractive to pile it up......"
In fact, Leylin also knows that this does not mean that Bankz Island has abundant gold reserves or anything like that.
After all, people on the continent are accustomed to using gold and silver as currency, and here it is not good to treat cocoa beans and obsidian as general equivalents, and gold is just jewelry. If it hadn't been for the special request of Thunderlin's emissary, the ransom brought by these natives would have been a pile of obsidian and something.
And in the eyes of these natives, if they can redeem their chief with a bunch of useless decorations, they should also make a lot of money.
Leylin touched his chin and looked at the native envoys crawling in front of him, for them, this huge ship like a mountain was no different from a miracle.
"Great and powerful, white-skinned devils who cross the seas and have great ships in the mountains...... I have brought what you want, please release our Great Chief, and after that, you will also have the friendship of our tribe......"
A priest who was visibly high-ranking cowered and said that in Leylin it sounded completely unspeakable.
Now, his ability to understand is not comparable to that of ordinary divinities, and once he is promoted to [Demigod], it is almost instinctive to be proficient in the language and writing of all faces.
At this time, the other party undoubtedly exposed his cowardice in Lei Lin's eyes.
"I've seen your ransom, but it's not enough......"
Lei Lin directly imprinted his meaning in the hearts of these natives.
"The king can only be redeemed by the king!You can go and meet your chieftain, and then I ask you to wage war against the Ngodo tribe next door, and capture the other chieftain in exchange for your chief!" (To be continued.) )
