Chapter 496: You people have been working as a spare tire for too long, and you can only be a dick for the rest of your life

In the face of Wang Wu's sincere request, Patton was indeed a little entangled. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This kid is really persistent, really because he has read too many popular novels, and he is too addicted to the anger of the king, and the plot of the little brother bowing his head and worshipping him?
Frankly speaking, Barton didn't look down on Wang Wu, thinking that he was not qualified to be his own king, with Wang Wu's talent, even the most conservative estimates would be enough to leave him far behind in ten years, not to mention that he still had the inheritance of that team......
It's a pity that it's thirty years late, if it was thirty years ago, he really ~~- wanted to be a member of that team at all costs, but more than thirty years later, he already had his own life, his own glory.
Just like the king of a small country in the Northlands, although he may not have the resources and power to control as the city lord of a city in the Free Alliance, but let him come to the Free Alliance and be ruled by the council, people may not be willing.
Barton was too old and too proud to be a little brother anymore.
In response to Wang Wu's invitation, Barton shook his head and made a wordless refusal. Wang Wu also shook his head, and said in his heart, "Could it be that this old man looks down on himself as a bare-bones commander?
Alas, people nowadays are too materialistic. It's just a woman who doesn't marry if you don't have a house...... I didn't expect Patton to be so old and so superficial.
And rejecting Wang Wu's solicitation, Barton seemed to want to make up for something, and said: "In short, if there is anything you need help with, just ask, I have asked for a period of leave, and I can give you a few more days of hard work here." ”
The commander of the dignified Special Legion is willing to work as a coolie, and Patton's preference for Wang Wu has made Hua Yun feel jealous. And Wang Wu was really unceremonious: "Okay, okay, we can't have long-term cooperation, and it's good to have a few one-night stands." ”
The old general's smile froze on his face on the spot.
――
With Barton's support, the reconstruction of Sweetwater was completed almost overnight, and it took Wang Wu and Hua Yun half a month to turn Sweetwater from a ruin into a semi-finished product, and the next half of the work. General Patton did it all.
A large number of beautiful, sturdy houses were moved straight out of the old general's dreamland, and the streets of the town were dotted with green trees and red flowers, and the white stone roads led in all directions. Throughout the town. In just two days, the old general not only recreated the original Sweetwater Town, but even went further. Make it a fairytale place.
During this time, Carmack was not idle, and the young actor continued to exert his influence, leading a squad of cavalry around to contain refugees, and bringing back a few hundred people in a few days, adding a bit of popularity to the now somewhat empty town.
Today, there are more than 5,000 refugees in a radius of hundreds of miles in the town, which is not much, but it is actually quite a lot. Barton asked Wang Wu very strangely, "If you want to collect the power of faith, now is the time to start, right?"
"It's about the same. ”
Half a month ago. Wang Wu once asked everyone a question at a bonfire.
Do you forget the hatred and suffering of the past and do nothing in comfort, or do you pick up the true legacy of your predecessors and comfort the dead in blood and fire?
Now it seems that most people still chose the former. In particular, Sweetwater Town has been built so comfortably, it is really a fairyland on earth that makes people forget hatred.
"I really don't understand, if you want them to sink into hatred, why do you want me to help you build such a town?"
Wang Wu said: "Because the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, only if they have, they will be afraid of losing." It's just the right vibe, and I can feel it every night, and many people in the town are scared to go to bed before they know that what they have now will be lost. ”
Barton sighed, "It's unbelievable how easy happiness came in...... And then, what are you going to do? Take away this little happiness from them?"
Saying that, the old general was really a little worried, Wang Wu relentlessly, and with a wave of his hand, he summoned an imperial city management brigade, clanging and knocking Sweetwater Town to pieces, and then stood on the ruins to encourage everyone: "Pick up the sword, let the empire pay for the blood debt ...... blood"
This trick has been played by countless kings in history, but the effect is still very good.
"Then it won't work. ”
Wang Wu very dryly denied Barton's speculation.
"The human heart is a fragile thing, and every time hope is disappointed, people subconsciously adjust their expectations for the future. It's like if you can't let your wife ** every time, you will naturally wonder if your wife will go out to steal people. ”
The extreme metaphor of "......", Barton just didn't hear it.
"These people used to believe in the spirit of the alliance, and they had a dream of alliance in their hearts, and the light of democracy and freedom shone in their hearts. However, this war has disappointed all their hopes, whether it is the force of the empire or the ** of the alliance, it is obvious that their faith has been raped to blood. And now, after a long period of suffering, they have just kindled a little flame of hope, and if I step on it, it is likely to crush them entirely. In technical terms, it's a flesh-human collapse. ”
Patton reluctantly corrected: "It's the collapse of faith." ”
"Whatever you want to call it~ In short, you can rest assured, I won't be embarrassed by such a group of lower riba people. ”
――
In the next few days, Wang Wu really did not interfere with the peaceful life in the town at all, as he himself said. And as life gradually recovered, the people of the town were no longer satisfied with the basic needs of survival, and put forward higher requirements.
For example, the requirement of faith.
The original church in the village was occupied by Wang Wujiu as a dormitory, and the people in the town saw that Wang Wuyi would not have the intention of moving, and did not dare to carry out land acquisition and forced demolition, so they pondered to find a vacant land to build a new church.
The construction of the church symbolizes the devotion of the villagers, so it is not a matter of trouble for the dream builders, who are always skilled craftsmen and even professional clergy among the thousands of refugees.
The refugees in the town were hungry for faith, so the labor enthusiasm for building the church was also high, but within a week, with the more or less support of Barton and Hua Yun, a small but well-equipped chapel was built.
However, when preparing to carry out the interior decoration and carve the statue of the god, it was opposed by Wang Wu.
"Carmack, I heard you're planning to carve a statue of the god of light?"
When he was stopped by the fifth king, Baron Carmack, now an earl, was in front of the church directing the workers to polish the stonework. Seeing Wang Wu coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Yes, the original statue was cut down by the Imperial soldiers, so ......"
Speaking of this, Carmack was still a little indignant: "Isn't the Holy Empire a country blessed by the God of Light, and he dares to offend the idol of the God of Light!"
Of course, this is just a casual complaint, in fact, in the eyes of the devout church members, the revisionist faith of the Freedom Alliance is a heretical cult, and those statues in the name of the god of light are also blasphemous, and of course they should be cut into two pieces at the first time. As for what the God of Light himself thinks, what is it...... Who the cares?
"Speaking of this idol...... Wang Wu touched his chin and suggested, "It's better to change it." ”
Carmack was stunned when he heard this: "What are you going to change to?"
Wang Wu directly projected a ready-made template from the dream: "That's it." ”
When Carmack saw the statue, it was as if he had been smashed on his toe, and he gasped on the spot.
"The Five Kings...... Your Majesty, if you're not mistaken, this statue seems to be, a statue of the Dark God!?"
In fact, there is no need to "seem" at all, the hideous and vicious face, the two pairs of thick fangs that have been turned out of the lips, and the bone spurs all over the joints...... If this thing is the God of Light, then the emblem of the Church of Light must be a leather whip and a candle.
Wang Wu himself had a natural expression: "Of course it's the Dark God." ”
Carmack wanted to cry without tears: "Your Majesty, don't be joking...... It's going to scare everyone!"
"Why?"
Carmack was speechless for a moment, and said in his heart that this still has to explain why!? The obvious truth has no explanation at all, this thing is self-evident!
At this time, the people around began to surround them, and many people were startled when they saw the dark god statue projected by Wang Wu, and their faces turned pale.
In particular, a 50-year-old aunt-level clergyman who was elected by everyone to preside over the work of the church in the future exclaimed: "The God of Light is on ......" and then kept making crosses on his chest.
Wang Wu reached out and patted the head of the dark god indifferently, and then said to the aunt, "The god of light is above...... What are you going to do with this slogan?"
That aunt is also an old priest with more than 20 years of experience, although she has no cultivation at all, but her faith is firm. Hearing Wang Wu's question, he prepared a tirade to try to brainwash this dream builder.
However, Wang Wu didn't give her a chance to speak at all, and started her new round of speech first.
"I really don't understand what you're thinking, eh, the God of Light is above...... Say such stupid things at this time, auntie, you are really more cerebral in menopause. ”
Wang Wu's poisonous tongue was really merciless, "You believe in the god of light, and try to let the gods bless you with a happy life, but unfortunately, the gods can't take care of you. Compared to you wild believers, the prayers of tens of millions of devout believers on the Holy Empire's side should be a little more useful, right?"
The crowd was silent.
"And it seems that the God of Light does not give you any preferential treatment, the Emperor ** team invaded the Alliance, and there are many priests of the church, in other words, when the Imperial people assassinate the believers of the Alliance God of Light with a long sword, the high God of Light will still give blessings to the priests of the Empire.
