In addition to the above strategies, the aco-priests who came with Ariana also helped a lot.

Only a few of them could use some low-level magic techniques, and although those former cultists could use other spells, most of them were crooked.

Moreover, since Luo Ming helped with the energy conversion, they couldn't use a decent spell for the time being until they adapted.

But it doesn't matter if there is very little divine art, on the earth, the gods will not appear at all, Lao Tzu has to go west to the valley in order to avoid the troubled times, Shakya can only weep and cry when he looks at the destroyed homeland, Jesus was crucified, chanting "Why did the Lord forsake me"...... But religion can thrive.

Even if science flourished in later generations, the number of religious believers in the world would still be billions.

In the Datu Dynasty, which has believed in atheism for decades, the driver will also hang a statue of the founding emperor to ward off evil spirits, and later there are high-level and black-masked forces who are embarrassed.

In short, even the Church of the True God of this world does not use magic to attract believers.

After all, the magic is limited, and the use of it consumes the power of the gods, although the loss of a single magic to the gods is actually insignificant, most of the power is still in the priest himself, similar to the magic principle of the mage, but it adds up to a lot, and it is always a burden to the gods.

Generally speaking, there is a charge for the external use of magic arts, even if you can't pay it temporarily, you will let the other party slowly repay the debt, and occasionally you will send some for free on special days, which is regarded as a big reward.

Magic is an expensive commodity, and it can be used as proof that this church is a church favored by the true God, and that it is a self-defense weapon for the church to protect itself from harm, which is basically the case.

Relying on it to preach alone will definitely cost money, and even if the church below loses its mind and plays like this, the gods themselves will definitely not allow it...... Whoever does this will be expelled.

Even Hills is the same, she uses magic to help Luo Ming regardless of the cost, in fact, it is also to please Luo Ming - Luo Ming is now a small prince, he can directly decide the fate of hundreds of people, as long as he is happy, he can directly let him donate to build a temple or something.

In the long run, the business is still profitable.

As for Ariana, it is even more unusual, she claims to be directly inspired by the ancestors who became gods, and is basically equivalent to a saint and a god.

And her true identity is the doppelganger of "Lord God", and now she is helping Luo Ming, so that she can use magic as she wants.

Just as there is no religion on earth that has grown by simply handing out bread or providing free medical care, there must be other reasons.

In addition to theology, the preacher should know a little bit of psychology, be able to talk with believers, and do psychological counseling;

You also need to know a little bit of medicine and herbalism, even if you can't rejuvenate your hands, you can at least relieve the pain a little, it's really not good, give the patient some non-toxic placebo, just like Zhang Jiao poured Fu water into people all day during the Three Kingdoms period on the earth, most of them have no effect, but the people who drink Fu water themselves believe that it is effective, they may relieve the pain a little, and those diseases that can be survived by their own resistance will now be attributed to the efficacy of Fu Shui;

In addition to this, they should also know interesting and educational stories that contain some simple doctrines or stories of church figures that can be told to the public in order to arouse their interest in the religion.

In short, these assistants of Yaliana were either trained by her own hands, or they were changed from the middle and high-level of the original cult, and they had experience in swaggering and deception before, and all in all, they all had skills in this area.

Their arrival soon stabilized the psychology of the tribesmen.

By the way, in addition to the above skills, they basically know how to cook...... The cooking skills are good and bad, but with the seasonings and iron pots, at least it is much better than what the mountain people could originally eat.

For the mountain people who don't have so many flowery intestines, they can eat enough without much effort, and there is a fragrance, which can make them satisfied with the status quo.

Luo Ming's hands made it impossible for the two tribes that had now returned to the city to have no recurrence, and the large number of soldiers who arrived also made this camp extremely safe.

Now that you have no worries, you can no longer act conservatively, and it doesn't hurt to take a little risk.

After reading the chieftain's confession sorted out by Schreffen, Luo Ming laughed.

Such an adventurous plan, even if it fails, will not have any major losses, and it will have no impact on the overall situation.

But if you succeed, you can get big rewards quickly.

It would be a pity to let go of such an opportunity.

=======================================

At noon the next day, an army marched through the woods.

Although the long walk in the mountains was more tiring than walking twice as long on flat ground, the soldiers were still in good spirits, and it seemed that such a trek would not be easy, if not too difficult, for them.

In this way, they appeared five kilometers away from the mountain pass, almost deep in the mountains.

Looking closely, the soldiers' equipment has also changed a lot, and in order to adapt to the march and combat in the mountains, Luo Ming took a lot of effort to plan these with Aya.

For example, the super spears, which were very powerful on the plains, now carried only a quarter of the usual number, replaced by short spears and machetes.

And Luo Ming is the leader of these soldiers, now wearing a military uniform that is easy to move, carrying a sword at his waist, and a hard bow on his back, and his two-handed giant sword is held by Granty, who can be pulled out and cut people immediately when needed, which is the most convenient.

He was accompanied by Hills, two dismounted knights, and Brigadier Dogo, the big dog, the three assistant priests, and the chief of the two apes.

Behind them was an entire squadron of regular troops, with a total of thirty servants, some helping to pull the artillery, others helping to clear the way and serve as vanguard scouts.

Of course, these servants are all selected from the canine department, and not only do they have no good friendship with the ape god department, but they may even have a little old grudge, which ensures that they will not defect or report the news.

Only the chief himself was brought by Luo Ming because he often came to the headquarters of the Ape God Department, as an excellent expert in leading the way-of course, this person has been completely seen through by Luo Ming, and there will be no hidden dangers.
