The gunners quickly untied the ropes to bring the animals pulling the cart aside, then positioned the cart, loaded it with gunpowder and shotguns, and adjusted the angle.

It all adds up to only half a minute.

And at the same time, a hundred meters away, a number of targets were also prepared.

There were live pigs and sheep tied to wooden poles, and there were also a dozen scarecrows.

With Luo Ming's order, more than a dozen large and small artillery pieces roared together, and a burst of gunpowder smoke dispersed.

The weather was a little windy now, and it didn't take long for the smoke to dissipate, and the people in the audience were condescendingly looking in the direction of the targets.

Some of the scarecrows were shattered, while others were simply thrown out of the air and shattered to the ground. And those pigs and sheep have a number of holes thicker than their thumbs on their bodies, bleeding outward, and they don't look like they can survive.

One of the most unlucky ones was simply broken by the waist and fell to the ground, filth flowing everywhere.

However, even if people in this era have never killed pigs and slaughtered sheep with their own hands, they have at least witnessed it with their own eyes, and they are somewhat immune to this kind of scene, so they are not completely stupid.

Login also did this to create the greatest visual effect and psychological shock - now he has not been able to completely solve the technical difficulties of grenades, and can only fire ordinary solid shells or shotguns composed of several small lead pellets.

Then, it is necessary to fly flesh and blood in order to have the greatest shock.

It is said that the Mughal Empire in India used artillery to execute deserters, and the number of deserters was immediately reduced to zero by allowing the soldiers to watch the body be torn apart by a single shot.

Now Luo Ming's subordinates don't have any death row prisoners or enemies who can use it like this, but if they use livestock, they can at least top half the effect.

Some of the people in the audience were already as pale as paper, and some of them were calm on the surface, but Luo Ming could hear their hearts beating wildly in a 100-meter race, and their breathing was rapid, obviously startled.

Imagine if there had been a phalanx of 100 people, I'm afraid that a small half of them would have survived by now.

Fifty or sixty people can be killed in a single blow, and in a very horrific way, which is enough to shock any army.

For example, the Orcs like to tear apart human soldiers with their bare hands, and then grab their stumps and stump and swing them around, which can often make hundreds of soldiers lose the courage to fight against it.

In fact, hundreds of people surrounded it, and it could tear a few with its hands? Swing a tomahawk and hack dozens of them? Even if it could kill a whole hundred, it would definitely be stabbed with several blood holes in its own body.

But the soldiers don't have a collective mind, each of them is an individual, and they all have the instinct to die and not die - although the strict military law and training on weekdays will try to suppress this instinct, but if you suddenly see a shocking scene, you will still be shocked

This artillery shot may only kill a few dozen people, but it can definitely make the morale of hundreds of people fall to the bottom.

From this point of view, even if Luo Ming only took his own troops to challenge the entire army of the earl, it could not be said that there was no chance of victory at all.

After figuring this out, the nobles felt much more at ease, and at the same time, they also developed a deep sense of frustration.

If you rebel against Luo Ming, a baron can pull out a maximum of a few hundred soldiers in total, and if you are bombarded in one round, you will be killed or wounded, so what else is there to fight?

And Luo Ming was a little disappointed when he found out that they were convinced - he had spent a lot of time preparing for the final kill, but now he could only put it on hold for the time being.

However, it is better to keep this content as one of the hole cards and use it again when it is crucial.

Then, Luo Ming quickly ended the parade.

The extras went to receive their rewards, and Luo Ming came to the temple with a group of members of the covenant.

Dressed in the most solemn robes, Ariana had a solemn countenance, and a ray of sunlight shining through the window into the temple shone on her back, like the embodiment of a god.

No, she could have been said to be the embodiment of a god, but now she has only shown a little bit of her original temperament, which is 200% true and absolutely not false.

"I am the chief priest of Her Highness the Goddess of Cleansing, and Her Highness the Goddess of Cleansing is now the servant of Her Highness the Goddess of Spring, and now I have performed my magic skills, and everything that I have witnessed and heard with my eyes and ears has been perceived by the two goddesses, and you must not mistake yourself!"

She solemnly declared.

Immediately, everyone fell to their knees, and Luo Ming was no exception.

However, he still held a parchment scroll in his hand, and he raised his head and read it aloud.

"The county of Vansey was unfortunate to be ravaged by evil spirits, sowing evil seeds, breeding monsters, slaughtering the people, humiliating the nobles, and defiling the sanctuary.

We are here to join forces to tide over the difficulties. Gather troops to defend themselves, and if they have spare strength, they will attack and kill, to restore the peace of the county, help the great prince to relieve his sorrows, and expel the filth for the pure land ruled by the goddess. ”

"Whoever enters into the covenant must not leave without permission, but must be of one heart and not create a gap between them.

Although Luo Ming is dull, he is willing to live up to the expectations of everyone, assume the responsibility of the leader of the alliance, formulate laws and disciplines, reward and punish fairly, and uniformly dispatch manpower and material resources; you must also maintain the covenant, abide by the law, and cooperate with the work, you will naturally enjoy the protection of the covenant, and you will not lose rewards and dividends. ”

When everyone heard Luo Ming say this, they had no choice but to follow along and say, "We are willing to obey the orders of the alliance leader!"

Luo Ming immediately said: "Great goddess, please witness our oath! As soon as he calms down the plague of the Vatican, he will offer sacrifices of gold and silver, fine wine, clear springs, and swans, and may the goddess bless the covenant as solid as a rock and unshakable!"

The idol suddenly emitted a burst of light, and everyone lowered their heads again in shock.

Only Luo Ming bowed his head to show respect, but his heart was as clear as a mirror.

Of course, the gods usually do not witness in person, generally speaking, that is, the priest comes to notarize a certain oath, and if something happens to the oath, it is a slap in the face of the priest, so it will have a certain effect.

But on some important occasions, the gods still don't mind sending down the slightest insignificant attention—anyway, mortals don't understand how much the gods care about it, and naturally none of them dare to break the contract.

And important occasions, such as this one—first of all, Ariana's status was noble enough to attract the gods, and secondly, Luo Ming promised a good sacrifice, so the goddess of spring water also divided her attention a little bit.

Wine, springs, and swans are all formalities, not expensive, but just for the goddess to show respect.

Gold and silver were the main sacrifices—donating a large fortune to the Church, which could be used to build a temple or to preach or feed a few paladins. That's where the real benefit lies for the goddess.
