Chapter 317: Blitzkrieg (2)
The clearing outside the city was crowded with people, and countless barbarians were driven here from the workshops of production and life, and the vast majority of them, except for a small number of young men, were old men, women, and children.
By the time the Spartacus warriors in charge of maintaining order had to retreat to the side hill to make way for the clearing, there was still a fifth of Lear's time limit left, and in that sense Senbu was still very efficient.
Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, the tragic scene they saw when they passed by the city gate made these ordinary barbarian residents realize that the army guarding their homeland had been defeated, but the glint of sorrow in their eyes and the anger in their chests could only turn into silent sighs under the suppression of the muzzles of the guns in the black hole.
Eventually, the remnants of the 3,000 barbarian warriors who were responsible for guiding the people were driven into the crowd, and a voice that was not very loud but loud enough for tens of thousands of people to hear clearly attracted everyone's attention.
A huge crystal dragon was suspended in the air by its massive wind wings, and the sound came from its back.
"Your fathers forsaken you!"
Without any contemplation or euphemism, Lear just pushed the atmosphere of the room to the brink of sabre-rattling.
Even newborn ogre children are proud of their ancestors, and Lear's words are undoubtedly pouring cold soup into the hot oil pot.
"Who are you!"
"How dare you blaspheme your ancestors!"
"Go back!
"Kill him, sacrifice his ancestors with his filthy blood and entrails!"
With the provocation of a few radical voices, the crowd soon came to the verge of a rampage, and even a few people saw pushing and stampeding to rush up the hill to seize the musketeer's weapon.
"Bang bang!"
The splatters of blood and the lying corpses made the barbarians boil and quiet for a moment, and Lear would never tolerate such behavior, and his order to Ivo was to kill without any scruples in the event of a commotion.
And then a few terrible screams sounded in the crowd, which made those ordinary people fully aware of their situation, and the most powerful big-eared monsters who shouted in the riot just now were all pierced by several thick ice nails falling from the sky, and their bodies were lying on the ground in pain, bleeding and convulsing, but the hearts that were precisely avoided kept them from dying immediately when they suffered such terrible pain.
"Looks like you're willing to be quiet and listen to me now. ”
It stands to reason that if you want to achieve the best results, the content should be in Spartacus, the magnificent dragon statue and the divine aura that permeates the air can infinitely amplify the effect of faith transformation, but unfortunately Lear did not open the door of time and space to migrate all these tens of thousands of people to Misty Island, and he did not even plan to convert these barbarians below at once.
At the time of the Crusades, there was no knowledge of the pagans being relocated to Europe for indoctrination, but by the sword, by fear, and, above all, by time.
"Your ancestor Jag turned his back on your worship, and he has always taught you honor and courage that even he did not hold on to, and after the defeat of the war against Attis in heaven, he not only did not practice the glory of the barbarians and died heroically, but became a loyal dog under the seat of Attis in order to survive, and the cloud of valor that has always protected the sky over Krurod is thinning little by little, don't you feel this?"
If it is said that such a thing as bluffing is all falsehood and intimidation, it will definitely not be effective, five points of truth plus four points of falsehood, and one point of blank space for those audiences to imagine for themselves, fear and confusion can lead them to a world that even the propagandists cannot predict.
Lear didn't know the origin of the barbarians' beliefs and was not interested in knowing, all he had to do was plant a seed of doubt in their hearts, so he made no secret of the fact that the barbarian ancestors had become lackeys of the god of war, and as for the so-called heroic blessing, that kind of thing no longer existed in the barbarian army.
The newly rising generals and gold and pleasures are probably closer than the barbarians of the previous generation who fought for freedom and the glory of their ancestors, and Lear doesn't even need to go deep into the barracks of Tanan, because the path he is now taking is almost the same as recorded in the canon, and even more black.
Although the barbarians outside the city were very resistant to what Lear said, they no longer dared to show it under the pressure of Kunsha and the threat of guns, but Lear didn't care about that, he just needed these people to listen to him quietly.
"Perhaps your ancestors had a glorious and glorious history, but that is no longer the case, and if any of you could go to Tartaglia and see, the people there would tell you what the barbarian armies had done to them, enslavement, slaughter, Wanton plunder, as the wizard king once did to you, the warriors who fought for freedom and faith, are now covered with the copper stench of gold coins and the hedonism of self-esteem, and your ancestors, your future, will be a cycle of eternal darkness in such a journey. ”
"Some of you have fear, some of you have resentment, or both, and you think I'm here to conquer or just to kill, because that's exactly what happened. ”
"I have come here with a supreme and high will, which will bring you punishment or redemption, and you may consider me an executioner, or you may consider me a whip of God, but it will not affect what I am going to do in any way, and I will tell you a holy, The name of the High and Supreme Being, she is also the only true god in this world, even your so-called ancestors must prostrate and rest at her feet, whether you believe in it or not, but there is only one thing that must not be forgotten, and that is to engrave her name in your heart forever, and it will never be erased until the end of this world. ”
Perhaps because of the death threat or some other reason, the quiet pin drop was audible as Lear was making such a long statement, and all eyes were on him, regardless of the emotion contained in those gazes, but the effect was undoubtedly satisfactory.
"Asha. ”
Lear uttered the name, and with the intentional blessing and rendering of magic, even if his voice was not loud, it was enough for everyone present to feel the indescribably majestic divine aura from these two words.
"Yasha!"
"Yasha!"
"Yasha!"
The warriors of Spartacus began to chant the holy name of the dragon god in unison, and soon the entire city of Shining Sand was overwhelmed by stacks of huge sounds, and although the barbarians did not shout along, many people were infected by this sacred atmosphere and there was a look of hesitation in their eyes.
At the same time, at Lear's behest, an incomparably heavy dragon power suddenly erupted from Kunsha's body, and then covered the entire area, after devouring Jag's clone, her dragon power actually faintly carried a little divine aura, and the light in the barbarian's eyes shrouded in this aura changed from a lot of hesitation to a lot of doubt.
Especially the shamans who stood behind Senbu and were in charge of the rituals, they were all too familiar with the divine aura of the dragon that Kunsha emanated, which was the majesty of the barbarian ancestors when they answered their prayers, but it was precisely because of this familiarity that they were even more panicked than the unsuspecting populace.
If it was really as the other party said, even the ancestors had to prostrate at the feet of that god, then what was the point of their resistance, but if it wasn't, how could the ancestral aura contained in that giant dragon be explained?
Unfortunately, Lear was clearly not going to answer their questions, and when the shouts of the Spartacus warriors reached the third peak, he waved his hand lightly, and the entire city gate battlefield returned to a deathly calm.
"Now, I ask each of you to do one thing, and that is to line up and go home, but before you enter the city gate, everyone must say one word, that is, 'Yasha, the dragon god of order, and even the only lord of the high', after saying this, you can go home, and the rhythm of peaceful life will become the same as usual, but if any of you don't want to, it doesn't matter, a vacant space has been reserved for you at the city gate, so start now. ”
Immediately after Lear said this, a dense whisper sounded in the square, and the barbarians couldn't help but whisper to each other or catch the thoughts of their companions in the eye contact, they thought that what awaited them was a merciless slaughter or enslavement and plunder, but in the end the enemy made such a strange request.
Because it's so simple, it's weird.
Even in the barbarian race, there is actually more than one faith, of course, ancestor worship is their most important and irreplaceable belief activity, but there is no explicit prohibition on the worship of other gods, such as Gaia, the goddess of the earth, and Merope, the goddess of hunting, have a relatively wide range of shallow followers among the barbarians, and any god who can bring them harvest and well-being in this barren land is welcome.
Although Lear's request made them recognize Asha, the dragon god of order, as the only true god, he was surprisingly tolerant and did not forbid them to worship their ancestors, and as long as they could continue to worship their ancestors, what difference did it make if they were gods?
Driven by the Spartacus warriors, the barbarians present soon formed several columns, and the dense human heads even snaked backwards to the end of the horizon, and after such an inexplicable and not difficult ending, all the barbarians finally let go of the last trace of resistance and doubt in their hearts, and honestly walked towards the city gate under the reprimand of the musketeers.
However, there was no shortage of people who had a tendon to admit their death, and they stood in a large clearing on the right side of the city gate, shouting the names of the goddess of the earth and the goddess of the hunt, and looked at the surrounding soldiers and Lear in the sky with a hostile gaze.
The number of people is probably less than 2,000.
By the time all the barbarians had re-entered the city, the sun had sunk to the edge of the desert, and the cold red light rendered the whole world a dying color.
The weather is sunny with sunset.
It is advisable to kill, throw corpses, and make an example of chickens and monkeys.
The musketeers raised their weapons.
