Chapter 392: Former Cultist
With the chieftain of Toucheng leading the way, the remaining people of the two apes did not resist much.
After all, the men of their tribe were either killed, captured, or scattered, and now there are almost only old and weak women and children in the entire tribe.
Although there were more than 600 people including children, it was not a problem at all to be surrounded by nearly 100 young men armed with weapons.
Luo Ming immediately gave an order for four soldiers to carry the head of a gorilla, escorting the chief to call on the entire tribe to pack up.
As one of the branches, the two apes and apes often communicate and interact, and others basically know the location of this tribe.
Therefore, Luo Ming directly asked them to evacuate and move to the foot of the mountain to stay for a few days, so as to delay the transmission of news a little, and secondly, these precious people also completely entered Luo Ming's pocket, which can be regarded as a safe bag, and there is no need to worry about encountering other dangers.
To be honest, this is definitely a big gain for Luo Ming.
Generally speaking, the death rate of children in the mountain tribes is quite high due to lack of nutrition, poor sanitation and medical technology, and there are more than 230 children in this tribe, but less than one-third of them can grow up smoothly, which is also the key to restricting the population growth of the mountain people.
But if these children fall into Luo Ming's hands, he will be confident that the mortality rate will be reduced by several percent—within a few years, he will be able to add hundreds of strong men.
Although women could not join the army, they could farm and work, and even the old people could basically do a little handiwork, which was half a labor force—the kind of old people who had no strength to do any work at all could not survive in the mountains at all, and would have been eliminated long ago.
If you do three or four more votes, the strength of Luo Ming's men can be doubled.
It's hard to say, like a thief captive, but that's exactly what it's all about.
Those so-called great explorers, pioneers of civilization, heroes and heroes who are dressed in pioneering glory...... If you really peel the skin, there are few good things.
Big slave owner, wanted criminal, anti-thief...... Male thieves and female prostitutes, ** there are many captives, and Luo Ming's current style is only afraid that he has the style of ancient sages.
Of course, to put grease and powder on his face and add brilliance, Luo Ming can also do more and not less.
Since ancient times, propaganda work has relied on one word to "blow".
Even if a regime that can boast is third-rate, many people will bow their heads and worship it, and even people outside will believe in this evil and become a fan; even if a regime that cannot boast is actually doing well, few people will be convinced, and anyone can pick out a lot of black spots to attack.
Moreover, things like fame, credibility, or popular sentiment also have an impact on the power of the Heavenly Power Sword......
So, Luo Ming got in touch with her doppelganger Yaliana through Aya's channel.
"No problem, you can leave it to me with confidence. ”
After silently making a promise in her heart, Ariana opened her eyes, glanced up at the statue of the Goddess of Cleansing, a flash of self-deprecation in her eyes, and then stood up.
I knelt down in front of my statue, pretending to be listening to an oracle, but in fact I was talking on the phone with a man, and I was funny enough as a priest......
"How?"
"What kind of oracle has His Highness handed down?"
"What do you need us to do?"
A group of people surrounded her, chattering in a respectful and eager tone.
However, she only lightly opened Sakura's lips and spit out the word "silence" slightly, and the temple was completely calm.
Carefully observing the two dozen or so people in his temple, although he had seen it several times, he still had an urge to laugh.
The few assistant sacrifices that he had cultivated by himself were just that, and they all looked decent, wearing white robes, neat and tidy, and looking very good.
But the other dozen or so...... Although they wore relatively ordinary clothes with no characteristics, their faces were still not good, and there was a murderous aura on their bodies, even if they had flattering or longing expressions on their faces, it only made people look more disgusting.
"Again: our gods don't like blood sacrifices other than enemies, and even sacrificial steaks should be cooked.
God loves to be clean, and if any of you don't correct your past character, then I will burn him at the stake with my own hands, burn him clean, and remove all impurity. ”
For these fellows who had performed blood rituals in the past, Ariana had to give them a beating.
Next, she got to the point.
"God said that the master of Meiquan is a rare hero in the world, and he is a mortal who is also favored by God.
Blessed are you and the others who do your best to assist him, and do not let the attendants of other gods take advantage of it, and naturally you will be able to promote the glory of God, and let the believers and the temple grow like wheat in the barren land. ”
If it is a relatively powerful god who has existed for a long time, I am afraid that such an oracle will cause an uproar when it spreads.
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and Luo Ming's current small body and small volume can't withstand that kind of big event.
But the Goddess of Cleanliness claimed that she was only a new god who had just been promoted for half a year, and she was only at the demigod stage - it was not possible for a few legendary powerhouses in the world to join forces to abuse her.
Her own sphere of influence has not yet developed, and she is pitifully small.
Therefore, no one would be surprised to pay more attention to Luo Ming - no matter how much he has almost 6,000 people under his command, if you count the number of mountain people in the mountains, it is 10,000 or 20,000, and the faith of these people alone is almost enough to support a demigod.
Of course, a demigod who only has such a little faith just keeps himself from starving to death, and he will not have any superfluous divine power, and he will lose money if he is not careful.
Unleash your divine powers, use powerful spells to kill and damage your enemies, and even legendary powerhouses can hit them with a single blow...... That's non-existent.
Otherwise, the world would have been full of demigods.
Although the gods are high, sometimes they have to rely on the heroes of the mortal world - if they can borrow the east wind of the heroes of the world, they don't have to waste much divine power, after all, the gods have no surplus food at home, especially if they are a new demigod.
"Understood!" replied in unison.
These guys, who are out of place with other people, and who stay in the temple and have a strange style, are the same believers in the Great Magic Dika back then, and now they have taken refuge in the seat of the goddess of cleanliness.
The one they were serving was not a true god, and they couldn't even reach the heels of a demigod, so they didn't have much of the arrogance of true god believers.
Loyalty to a mortal hero is not a matter for them.
Now that they had accepted the "oracle" she had just come up with, Ariana spoke aloud:
"Now, it's time for you and me, bring your things and set off with me!
Let that Excellency know that we are the only one who can help him best!"
