Chapter 32: Under the Silver Tree
With Zhangzhung Gyatso's shout, the sky suddenly darkened. Under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of people, the phantom of a huge silver towering tree dozens of meters high and stacked on top of each other began to loom, and finally took shape and descended on the altar.
The tree has thousands of silver or golden leaves, and it is very delicate, and when the breeze blows, it makes a crisp and pleasant sound, like beautiful music.
Led by the Eight Banners of the Barbarians, those who were the first to submit to Zhangxiong Gyatso's command were the first to feel the abnormality. They had a vague feeling that the tree seemed to represent their faith and soul. Looking at the majestic trees, my heart swayed, and I couldn't help myself, so I couldn't help but kneel on the ground one by one.
Although the most of the surrounding beast clans had not yet completely surrendered to the feet of Zhangxiong Gyatso, and naturally they had not established contact with the Silver Radiance Tree, they could not stand the influence of the surrounding atmosphere, and they all fell to the ground one by one in amazement.
This is a real miracle, a blessing that Changsheng Heaven has given to see the sincerity of the grassland people.
The silver glow tree sprinkled layers of brilliance, and every herdsman bathed in the brilliance was moved beyond measure, as if they had gone through a pure baptism, from body to soul, they were indescribably happy.
Zhangxiong Gyatso's harvest is even greater, in the past, he only passively used the Silver Radiance Tree...... That is, the Heroic Spirit Tree, which receives the blessings of the faith of the entire ethnic group. Although I have benefited a lot, it is not as large as it is now. When hundreds of thousands of people pray together, the power of faith that can be attained is terrifying.
He had a feeling of being overwhelmed, and although there was no change in his whole body, there was an explosion of power from the inside out. At that moment, he felt like he could slay a dragon.
Beamon Zhandui, who had established a soul connection with him, was the first to undergo a mutation. The big guy, who was already two meters tall, skyrocketed again, and jumped to a full four meters tall, becoming a real giant beast. He raised his head and beat his chest and yelled, and his voice resounded through the world.
The strength increased several times again, and Zhangxiong Gyatso secretly clenched his fists, and at that moment, his self-confidence was overwhelming.
"The Immortal Heaven saw our piety, and he showed the Tree of the Immortal Spirit. This sacred tree represents the thousands of heroic spirits of our barbarian and beast races, and every warrior and herdsman of the barbarians, as long as they are devout to the Immortal Heaven, will gain a place on this big tree. In the future, when we die in battle, or die of old age, our souls will return to the Divine Tree and go to the Immortal Heaven to reunite with our ancestors. ”
Zhangxiong Gyatso took the opportunity to announce that there was a manifestation of the Silver Radiance Tree, and no one would raise any objections. Even those orc chieftains with ill intentions were secretly frightened, and the little careful thinking in the past could only be put away obediently, and they knelt down at the feet of Zhangxiong Gyatso with joy and sincerity.
"I declare that from today onwards, the Golden Horde is established. This is our own country, every barbarian, beast, and white elf clan is my subject, I will treat everyone equally, and lead everyone to rise on this continent. From this day forward, we are no longer a barbaric race, but a truly complete nation. ”
Lambert listened to Zhangxiong Gyatso's declaration, and he had an indescribable feeling, as if he was witnessing the rise of a powerful country. And this so-called Golden Horde is destined to be the enemy of the human race in the future. I can't help but say it's sad!
There can be no further hesitation, and you must report to His Majesty the King what he has seen and heard. Even in order to cope with the rise of the Golden Horde, the Norton Kingdom could not continue to fight alone, and needed to work with other Terran kingdoms to deal with them.
Lambert made up his mind, and even couldn't hold back, and wanted to leave immediately.
Zhangxiong Gyatso didn't know Lambert's inner thoughts, he was in a feeling of fluttering immortals at the moment, it turned out that it was such a wonderful thing to gain the faith of many subjects.
Faith is invisible, but it really affects him. Although he can't cultivate Dou Qi and can't do magic, with the blessing of this power of faith, Zhangxiong Gyatso can go further in the future. Even when the strength under his command grows, when the Golden Horde is strong enough, he has the possibility of becoming a god.
Could it be that the religion of the human race, the gods they believe in, are all based on the belief of the people? Zhangxiong Gyatso felt that he had discovered a big secret. But now he is still at the most superficial level, and he is still too far from that step.
For now, let's pay attention to the things in our hands, everything needs to be done step by step.
As he proclaimed the establishment of the Golden Horde, his generals came forward to declare their allegiance to him. Those orc chieftains also had to bow their heads at this moment and seriously express their loyalty.
After some commotion, the silver glow tree gradually faded away, and finally disappeared, but the miracle that happened still affected everyone. They all knew that Zhangzhung Khan was blessed by the Immortal Heaven and was the undisputed king.
As if remembering Lambert at this time, Zhangxiong Gyatso deliberately smiled and introduced to everyone: "We are fortunate to have a distinguished guest for the establishment of our Golden Horde. Lord Lambert, on behalf of His Majesty King Norton VII, wishes our founding a blessing and our heartfelt thanks to the Kingdom of Norton. I sincerely hope that our two countries can live in harmony. ”
Lambert smiled and bowed to the crowd, his expression a little unnatural. He didn't come to watch the ceremony on behalf of the king, but he just happened to catch up, but this point will definitely not be said in a big way.
After the ceremony is held, the next step is to complete the characteristics of the grassland people, that is, to light a bonfire and have a big meal. To this end, Tenzin Gee slaughtered hundreds of cattle and sheep, commanded his herdsmen in high spirits, and barbecued animal meat. Arslen had made a special trip to the border of the Norton Kingdom in advance, and did not purchase weapons, but purchased a large amount of liquor for today's celebration.
As a distinguished guest, Lambert was specially invited to sit next to Zhangxiong Gyatso. In a warm conversation with the people, he expressed the idea of the Kingdom of Norton making peace with the barbarians.
"Oh, of course, we barbarians have always been peace-loving, and naturally we want to be able to live in peace with the Kingdom of Norton. Zhangxiong Gyatso said happily: "Of course, we also desperately hope that the Kingdom of Norton can open up more borders to us to facilitate trade between our two countries. I think that's good for both of us. ”
"Hehe, I will convey the Great Khan's request to His Majesty, and I am sure His Majesty will agree. Lambert said with a smile, but thought to himself...... Your Golden Horde is already getting stronger and stronger, and if you open up the borders again, won't it accelerate the rampant smuggling even more? At that time, not only will weapons flow into the steppes in large quantities, but even those controlled armor and bows and crossbows will also be obtained by you. When the time comes, won't our Kingdom of Norton fuel your power?
His Majesty must be advised that you must not accede to Zhangzhung Gyatso's request, Lambert thought.
