Foggy World, October "The sound of a big explosion, the falling of leaves, the frightened screams of countless animals.

Dozens of miles away, you can see mushrooms as dark brown as they rise into the sky.

The sky, which had gradually appeared, was also obscured by black smoke.

Sixty or seventy miles away, Bishop Kannompa struck at the latter.

Haboba also looked up: "The city of Hangel and the god Hephilan have fallen?"

"Falling, the three lords attacked together, occupied most of the territory, and we also gained a small piece, although it was only a tenth, but it was enough to grab Danli. Bishop Kannompa said with emotion.

"Will you?" said Haboba, worried.

"No, after the matter of Wu God Hephilan, those nearby gods don't dare to take risks, once they fail to attack other territories and are seriously injured, they are only afraid that they will cheapen others. ”

"Besides, we have the great god Romon and the protection of the dragon, and no one dares to do it. Bishop Kannompa said, with pride and pride, "Moreover, I have made a trade agreement with them, and a caravan will come from now on." ”

"That's right, that's down, it's construction, this time I also plundered some spell resources, maybe build a small mage tower in the future, it's still okay, so that the mage can pass it on. Habopa asked, "By the way, now the people in the city are already qualified believers, right?"

"It's all already, they can move out, it's completely fine, this time five thousand people go back" You can move out two or three thousand people and divide them into villages, such as the iron mine village and salt lake village that you have always wanted to build" Ah, if this is the case, it would be great, everything in the territory can be lacking, but there can be no shortage of iron and salt, when is the time, how many priests do you have?" Habopa asked.

"There is always a shortage of priests, but this time, there is a group of priests among the slaves, and if they can be converted, they can still serve as priests temporarily, and this is a long-term process. ”

"Lord Lord, in this situation, our foundation is still too thin, if nothing else, please lay the foundation first, judging from the situation a few days ago, we can't expand yet. ”

Haboba sighed, nodded, and said, "I understand!"

"However, you don't have to worry too much, as long as there is enough food and magic healing, the population will grow very quickly, and after fifteen years, the population will enter a period of rapid expansion, and you can canonize the nobles one by one, divide them into various places, or establish a direct domain. ”

"This area can accommodate at least fifty or sixty thousand people, and it is not overcrowded, and when the time comes, you can officially establish an earldom. ”

"The time of a generation, by the way, it's getting late now, isn't it an order to camp "You are the lord, you give the order!" Bishop Kannompa bowed.

"Set up camp!" Ha Taba said commandingly.

Immediately, three hundred soldiers began to set up camp, and they found a place near the water, "and took down the wooden pillars from the carriage and inserted them into the ground to form a simple protection.

And a fire was kindled on the ground.

Under the supervision of the soldiers, cauldrons were erected on the fire, and soldiers were sent to get water, and jars of water were poured into it, and it didn't take much time for the water to start rising.

October, it's still late autumn, and in this world, it's already a little chilly.

After a few moments, the taste of cereal porridge spread.

Ordinary slaves, only this one, they eat silently, without the slightest complaint, and now they are alive and happy.

The warriors in the slaves, as well as the knowledgeable, received large chunks of thick black bread, except for these. There are also some wild vegetables, and the soup made with a few meat bones is boiled, although it is not too oily, and it is much better than that of ordinary slaves.

And in front of the fire, a few captive knights, captive mages, and priests who had lost their gods, sat around the fire, munching on soft toasted bread and some real broth by the warmth of the fire, but these people were all under their hoods, and they could not see the expressions on their faces.

Bishop Haboba and Khanrongpa, patrolling with the guards, followed by several mages.

To ordinary people, they just glanced at it, and these civilians did not have the slightest strength.

For warriors and priests, pay attention, but this attention is not too heavy, after all, warriors who have lost their weapons, and priests who have lost their gods, do not have much power to speak of.

Only the knights and mages had received the attention, and they now looked rather depressed, their dirty clothes covered with mud and blood, some tattered and tattered, like beggars.

But no one can think of them as real beggars, the mages still have clear eyes, and the knights still have skilled martial arts and courage, even if they are not equipped, they can cause big trouble.

Haboba glanced at it, and didn't worry too much, the city of Hanger and the god Hephilan had fallen, and these people no longer belonged.

Besides, they all have their own families, and it is unlikely that they will resist to the end.

A little farther afield, a group of women, children, old people, a little more real broth in their food, not much, to take care of the frail old people, women, children.

It doesn't cost anything, and it doesn't necessarily make them grateful, but at least it can strike a blow at the will and spark of resistance in these slaves.

Not only that, but it has just been announced that these slaves, as long as they convert to the great god Rosso, and after five years of hard labor, can be elevated to the status of tenants, and those special people can even become free people.

It also dealt a great blow to the determination and will to resist.

The people of this world practiced the two-meal system, which is now three meals, according to the gods, "After this dinner, the priest leads the slaves in the evening prayers.

There were twenty-five priests with the army this time, which was a little less for the entire slave army, but this was already the largest church force that could be drawn from the city.

Priests, leading slaves, conduct evening prayers.

The prayers were uneven, and everyone except for a few children who didn't understand anything instinctively resisted, but it didn't matter, the priest would carefully observe and sift through the two-week road, and when he arrived in the city, he could basically tell the difference.

Two weeks is the degree of walking, and also due to the special circumstances of the misty world, it is necessary to be in the city, there are three months, to give them a process of acceptance.

Some people who are smart and quick to put their minds right, will be recognized, they will be given priority and early liberation, and if there are no accidents, they will all get the opportunity to be promoted.

After all, these newcomers also need to be managed by familiar people.

As for those who are stubborn, after three months, they will be handed over to the dragon, and the dragon will be satisfied to eat their ** and souls.

Bishop Kannompa thought so, and when he scanned the prayers, he saw a young girl.

The girl prayed aloud—and because of this, the people around her opened up a gap with her with disgusted expressions, "There is a vacant piece, but because of this, she stands out.

Seeing the bishop's attention, a priest who led the prayer also glanced at it, and did not speak for a while, but when the prayer was finished, he stepped forward and whispered to the bishop: "This is Nessy, who is said to have been the youngest daughter of the Sir family of Leth, and she was the first to ask me for my God."

"A wise man, though a woman. Haboba whispered.

"That's true, but it's a good thing, if she has the gift of a priest, I'll let her join the church, and if not, ask the lord to pay attention. ”

"Of course, I know that even a woman, as the first to come forward and believe in the great god Romón, can be given preferential treatment, first for a period of time, and if she can be sure of her faith and piety when she is in the city, she and her family will be given special treatment, and she and her family will be given a house of the freedmen, and a more abundant amount of food, and she will choose some simple things for them to manage, and gradually establish their authority. Ha Taba said calmly.

In any loser, there will be some who will jump out to show submission, but this will also provoke the contempt and disgust of those around them, as well as the exclusion, to which the victors who have already had a preparatory course deliberately do not interfere and do not show grace.

However, as long as the people who jumped out in advance can stick to the city, both smart people and speculators can get rich returns.

When the water is clear, it is a fish, and there is no futile when people are observed.

Although the people of this world don't know this sentence, they understand the similar meaning.

It is a political attitude, a kind of public opinion and belief orientation.

On the contrary, among the slaves, those who secretly conspired and spread toughness and rebellion, no matter how valuable, would be escorted directly to the dragon when they arrived in the city, and became a rich sacrifice.

The next day, at the first birth of the sun, is the time of departure.

In the wilderness, the fog shrouded the world, and the sun shone, but it was much thinner, and it was barely possible to see the road within ten meters.

However, a priest with the gift of Romon can grasp the right path.

Three hundred soldiers, five thousand slaves, and a huge contingent of fifty wagons began to move slowly again, and then gradually increased their speed, along the road leading to the city.

After two weeks of arduous trekking, with the deliberate arrangement and connivance of the victors, polarization has formed.

Among the original speculators and smart people, there was a part that could not stand the exclusion, the curses and scolding of their peers, the treatment without reward and encouragement, and as a result, they weakened again.

The rest of the part has fallen into the key list, and among them is the girl named Naiqi.

Of course, some people with prestige or incitement ability and extremely tough attitudes have also entered the key list.

On this day, in the distance, the city was finally seen, at this time, it was already the beginning of November, the weather suddenly became cold, and everyone was under the ravages of the cold wind, and they hugged their clothes tightly.

When they got nearer, the trumpet sounded, the gates of the city were opened, and a hundred cavalry of well-trained coolies slowly came out.

"Your Lord!" For the sake of the chief, he respectfully saluted Habopa.

"Go to the shrine!" Ha Pengba said coldly.

The original palace of the elves is now called the shrine.

"Yes, sir!" The captain of the cavalry responded, and showed a hideous sneer at the slave, "With a wave of his hand, the cavalry all drew their weapons, some even held crossbows, and the original three hundred soldiers also drew their weapons, and the air suddenly became tense.

"Whew!" A cavalryman, raising the horn hanging from his neck, blew it, and the mournful and long trumpet pierced the sky, and with this sound, a dragon sleeping in the square, opened its eyes7.

"Well, there is food again, and the servant is very diligent!" Compared with the service of sea beasts, the service of humans is indeed thoughtful, and this clarion call is a notification to avoid being killed by mistake.

With the trumpet, five thousand men were driven to the front of the square, but the cavalry was far outside and did not come close.

Everyone, when they saw this dragon for the first time, an irresistible sense of majesty and oppression enveloped them.

Of the five thousand, the vast majority, most of them, were slumped on the ground, unable to move, and their eyes radiated a dull light.

Those who can scream and scatter and run away are already people with non-potential.

"Ahh Natch came out with a hysterical tip. '1o' "Dragon, it's a dragon!" There were several mages and knights, who were also trembling with weakness.

But in the end, this dragon power, after letting go, put it away, the sea thorn dragon looked at Haboba, the jaw was closed, and an arrogant smile was formed at the corner of the mouth, and it said: "Mortal, such a humble you appeared in front of the great Ernaux again, are you here to pay tribute again?"

"Yes, my honorable Lord Ernaux, I have made a sacrifice for you...... "Follow the list, and arrest the sacrifices." Haboba said loudly.

"Yes!" Due to the many times they got used to the dragon power, some soldiers were on order.

The pastor pulled out the list, and in a somewhat trembling voice, read the name, and read "The lock is quiet.

The soldier pounced and pulled a man out.

"No!" These people immediately understood their fate, cried and shouted, and some even wanted to resist, but when they met Long Wei for the first time, they were weak and unable to resist at all, so they were taken out.

"Ahh Naqi pursed her own tick, one of her uncles, one of them, and one of the hard-line ones in the team.

She watched as the man struggled desperately, only to be pulled out by the soldiers.

"Thirty, honorable Lord Ernaux, these are all sacrifices.

"Hey, mortal, your sacrifice is very satisfying to the great Ernaux.

The next moment, the flesh was flying, and a person was thrown into the dragon's mouth, and with a hard bite, Yunren let out a final scream.

The dragon chewed, blood coming from between its teeth.

Satisfied, he grabbed another one.

"Demon, I'm fighting with you!" A knight who had nothing to do finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he pounced, but in the next moment, a giant claw grabbed him.

This knight burst out with fighting spirit, but in the dragon's claws, he did not move at all.

"Human knights, I love this food. ”

The next moment, the knight had already fallen into the dragon's mouth, and in an instant, the teeth merged, and these teeth cut into the fighting qi like tofu, tearing the knight apart.

Everyone trembled and fell to the ground, even the remaining mages and priests.

Bishop Kannompa was very pleased to see all this.

Fear is the seed of faith.
