Chapter 1001: The Church of the Serpent (Happy New Year to Book Friends!!)
At this time, due to the impact of the plague, more than half of the population of the Zacatekaz Empire was lost, and the combat strength of the army was greatly reduced.
And Leylin's Fort of Hope is constantly absorbing the nutrients of Bankz Island and rising, becoming more and more prosperous.
According to Lei Lin's plan, a new round of power expansion is about to begin.
"Judging from the actions of those Earth Bound Spirits and Totems, what kind of big action are they planning recently......
Leylin touched his chin, a thoughtful expression.
The totem spirits and nature spirits on Bankz Island are essentially a form similar to the earth spirit and the earth spirit, and the strength of this earth spirit is closely related to the scope of the opponent's domain and the number of believers.
The few who were wiped out by Lei Lin before were all small tribes, and the totems among them were also the strength of the divinity, even in the realm, Lei Lin was not afraid at all.
However, in the entire Zacatekaz Empire, the strength of several large earth gods may have reached the level of [Demigods]! In the increase of the realm, I am afraid that they have a power that is not inferior to that of [True God]!
In other words, if the current Leylin directly entered the scope of the Zacatekaz Empire, he would probably be beaten to death by a group of earthlings who were not inferior to the strength of the [True God].
But on the contrary, if these lands only dared to come out, then at most they would only have the original [demigod] strength, and they would continue to weaken after reaching the scope of Fort Hope.
In this case, of course, Lei Lin was not in a hurry to directly kill the other party's totem, but adopted the method of continuous cannibalization of mortal power.
Anyway, for him, those earthly beasts are already caged beasts, and they can be constantly weakened by the blows of faith and secular armies. And why hurry?
With the help of the plague, Leylin's power on Bankz Island has expanded like a bamboo.
From time to time, there are natives who have abandoned their totem spirits and ask to join. There was even a situation where a tribe abandoned all the nobility and faith in the upper class!
After all, for the natives now. Fort Hope stands for life!
If you don't join, you can only wait for death in the plague! Under this great threat, all the contradictions between race and faith cannot be alleviated, and only fanatical believers will continue to die.
In the face of Lei Lin's crushing, those lands had no way to do it.
With their divine powers, as well as the priests and priests they cultivated, it is rare that the divine magic produced every day can protect a small group of nobles, but it is powerless against the largest number of commoners.
What's even more critical and shameless is that the germs that Lei Lin exudes are unless he uses his special vaccine. Otherwise, even after one infection, the human body will not produce antibodies, and there is a possibility that the disease will continue!
Now the entire Banksy Island has unceremoniously turned into an 'island of plagues', and all the natives who do not obey Leylin can only hide in the corners of the city and the altar, cowering and waiting for the disease to continue to attack!
And when most of the believers abandon their original beliefs, the original totem spirits and nature spirits become a herd of lambs to the slaughter.
- Relying on the few remaining fanatics, priests, and a handful of nobles, it is impossible to maintain the divine power of the [demigods]. And this consequence directly led to fewer divine arts that the earth could bestow, and more people died, forming a vicious circle.
Not only that, but it is accompanied by the attenuation of the opponent's control. The scope of those realms is also shrinking.
At the very least, Leylin has now expanded his influence to almost a quarter of the island, albeit only in a few corners. But the totem spirits of those empires are also unable to do anything in these regions, and even the trend is expanding.
Leylin even doubted. In this case, he may not need to do it himself. Those lands will be extinct because of the death of faith!
In this case, those landlords are not without countermeasures.
At the time of the outbreak of the plague, it was obviously impossible to fight a large-scale war, but they all sent their own oracles and began to use all means to block the influx of refugees from their jurisdictions to Leylin's side.
Rumors are even spreading that Reelin is the culprit of the plague, although it is true.
- 'The devil's serpent from the West, who cruelly dug out the internal organs of the native people and sacrificed his blood to evil, summoned the terrible demons of disease......
- 'The fair-skinned people of the West have come to be disturbed and kind, they covet our riches, they covet our land, and they are even ready to curry favor with their gods, with our lives......
Rumors like these are rife on Bankz Island, and even in Fort Hope.
It was from these actions that Lei Lin smelled something unusual.
"Survival and reproduction are the two most basic desires of living beings, and the power generated from them is the ...... that all gods must fear."
Leylin looked at the growing Fort of Hope with a bright smile on his face.
"And the desire to survive outweighs the need for reproduction...... With a strong instinct for survival, even if I really kill the natives here and sacrifice them with their hearts, livers and blood, as long as I can provide them with the baptism of the gods and relieve them of their diseases, there will still be refugees coming over and ...... Until the indigenous gods developed a miracle drug, this trend could not be avoided at all, and the spread of rumors was at most a little more than a little more task for the Mention and the Church......"
The genetic germs refined at the level of Thunderlin Wizard, especially after using the concept of the warlock bloodline of another world and adding the pertinence of the bloodline, it is almost impossible for these gods to decipher and find a special medicine!
"My God...... You are the serpent that devours the world, the ruler of killing, and one day you will become the stars of the sky......"
At this time, the huge door behind Lei Lin opened, and Tifa, dressed in a white priest's robe, walked in.
In this blessed place, Leylin finally put the construction of his church on the agenda.
The continuous conquest and battle not only provided a large number of believers for Lei Lin, but also caused the pre-priests trained before to experience a baptism, and a large number of talents emerged.
With the chaplaincy provided by Tifa as the backbone, as well as the talents of his own family as a constraint, and a large number of grateful and large number of native fanatics as the foundation, the establishment of a church is simply a matter of course.
The church was named the "Serpent" by Leylin, with the abstract Targaryen Serpent as its emblem, and a group of people were urgently working on the doctrinal and other texts.
As the infusion of Lei Lin's first soul power, and also the only two legendary powerhouses in the Giant Serpent Church at this time, Tifa was naturally promoted by Lei Lin to become the Pope.
With his merits in cultivating the first generation of priests, this position was originally his, and Lei Lin was so interested in it at first.
And Isabel wouldn't snatch anything from him.
"What's the matter?"
Lei Lin turned around indifferently, and a huge majesty emanated from his body all the time.
"We have caught several suspects, who are secretly spreading rumors and discrediting our gods!"
Although he could almost guess what was going on, neither Leylin nor he would admit it.
And this kind of thing, unless you are caught poisoning on the spot, where is there any conclusive evidence?
As for the matter of the special medicine and holy water, it can be completely pushed to the fact that the divine power nature of Lei Lin itself is just enough to restrain the plague.
Having said that, he himself did not condense realms and priesthoods such as [Plague] and [Disease], so he was not afraid of investigation at all.
In fact, if it is really serious, I am afraid that only the Plague Lady will take the blame for Leylin, who made the other party like to release viruses and plagues all the time?
Instead of relying on divine arts, he used his own alchemy attainments to configure this kind of giant plague, which is almost unheard of in the world of gods, and this is completely a technology from another world.
"My God, do you want to punish them directly?"
Tifa asked in a deep voice.
The so-called sanctions, naturally, were solved in private, anyway, Tifa was born in the dark world, I don't know how many such things have been done, even if it is the good gods on the mainland, there is also a special department in the church to do these dirty work.
"Tifa......" Lei Lin's voice was very faint, but it seemed to have some kind of unpredictable majesty, which immediately made Tifa make a listening expression, and his body tightened.
"The church is bright, and we should also give the other party a fair trial for those rats in the dark ditch, especially when it comes to this matter......
"I see......"
With a thoughtful look on his face, Tifa respectfully withdrew.
Lei Lin's meaning is to directly judge those spies and the like who are caught, and to make the canonical punishment clear.
Although the superior and the wise cannot hide it at all, what is this? No matter what era, the number of low-level commoners is always the largest.
Official statements, with some specious evidence, plus propaganda about the grasp of state power, are enough.
And Leylin and the church also need a fig leaf, and it would be a shame to solve it privately.
But as long as the momentum is created, I am afraid that even those who could have seen through it will be swept in.
Sometimes, it's important to have a set of things that don't seem to have a surface.
In this regard, Leylin, who has the memory of the devil, can be said to be beyond all the Banksian gods in terms of grasping people's hearts.
A few days later, under the watchful eyes of the natives, the mighty trial began.
The mention did not blindly hold the other party accountable for spreading rumors, but only mentioned it during the prosecution, but put the key on 'intending to destroy the altar and destroy the baptism of God'! This immediately caused an uproar! )
