Chapter 56: The Devil
The development of the territory, under Edward's control, began to leap towards a higher level.
From the backward and ignorant era, we are moving towards a bright future.
The only faith is Edward, and what Edward needs is a group of men who are obedient and not afraid of death, which would be too much effort if they were to rely on the magic influence of the will to fight.
The people of the Emerald Plains are too fragile, compared to Edward's original earthling body, they are much stronger, but compared to the Black Knight, their current strength is not even as strong as a skeleton soldier.
Edward could decide whether or not to convert those killed by him into skeletons according to his own will, and those killed by his men who had the will to fight would also be converted into skeletons.
After learning from Oak that the Mayor of York had turned into a monster and stood up, and was then thrown into flames by the soldiers and burned to death, Edward gave orders to Oak.
"Those who dare to rebel against me, those who are my enemies are all demons!Send someone to inform the people of the other five territories that their leaders have been bewitched by demons, and only flames can purify and destroy them, otherwise the demons will eat all the people in the village, and the dead will also be taken to hell by the demons!"
"Yes!" "It's not me who died anyway, and the monster formed by the bone frame is so terrible that it should be purified by the flames!"
After Oak leaves, Edward summons Paulina, who has the highest level of knowledge here.
"Earl, do you have anything to do with me?"
Paulina thought that Edward wanted to play, and was a little excited, but when she saw what Edward was writing, she knew that she had guessed wrong.
Edward didn't answer, he stopped after writing what he was doing, looked at Paulina and said, "Paulina, do you know why someone rose up against me?"
"I don't know......" Paulina knew very well that Edward's conscription had touched the bottom line of the villages below, otherwise those people would not have resisted.
The people in the castle already knew that the rebellion in Yorktown was easily suppressed by ten soldiers, so they had hidden their original caution and did not dare to act rashly.
Not only the people in the castle, but also the five surrounding villages also lowered their profiles after the events in Yorktown, and stopped clamoring to push Edward down.
"Because they have been bewitched by the devil, they dare to do such a stupid and evil thing under my merciful rule. The mayor of Yorktown is a demon, and he has been purified by the flames, and I think there must be demons around us, such as the nobleman who dared to resist me last time. ”
Anyone killed by Edward and his men who exerted Edward's will to fight will become skeletons, so they are all demons.
"Demons?!" Paulina reads a lot, so she also believes that there are demons, and the nobles believe in this, so they are horrified when they hear that demons really exist.
In Paulina's cognition, demons are creatures that are more terrifying than humans, and compared to Edward, demons must be a hundred times more terrifying!
"That's right, it's a demon. Edward stood up and looked through the window behind him at the two skeleton soldiers on the edge of the village, they brought panic and peace, "You see, that's the demon. ”
Paulina trembled to the window, and after glancing outside, she saw a large number of villagers being chased by two skeletons running around, because of the distance, it was not clear, but the fear in her heart made Paulina squat on the ground and hold her head and dare not look anymore.
"Don't be afraid. Edward touched Paulina's head and said with a smile, "The only thing that can purify demons is justice and fire, and I am justice." ”
Edward was equipped with his new armor and cape, and walked out of the castle with the support of the people, and at this moment, Edward was the backbone of everyone, and there was no safer place than standing behind Edward.
"Don't be afraid! Follow me! Justice, fearless!"
Skeleton soldiers are only first-level creatures, and they are also the lowest existence among first-level creatures, in this place near the filthy land, skeleton soldiers are also more vulnerable, but they are still not the existence that ordinary people can hurt with slashing.
There were brave men among the farmers, but instead of causing the skeletons to stagnate, they grabbed their weapons and lost their lives.
After the skeleton soldier kills someone, the soul fire in his eyes is a little stronger, which also gives the rest of the people the perception that the skeleton soldier eats people, so no one dares to approach the skeleton soldier anymore, and fear is contagious.
In fact, skeleton soldiers can also become sleepless labor, but Edward's level is too low to control too many people, and twenty soldiers is already the limit, and it is impossible to replace soldiers with skeleton soldiers.
What a wonderful feeling of fear and obedience......
Edward felt the fear transmitted from the people around him, as well as the awe of himself, and finally raised the dark fighting spirit to the level of the second level.
The dark fighting spirit of the horror knight Abaddon is not a good thing, this thing is tailored to his own situation, and for a horror knight, there is no more wonderful food than the fear of the enemy, and the horror knight is also a commanding creature, the more people surrender to themselves, the easier it is to improve the overall strength.
The Dark Fighting Spirit is just a tool, and Edward has never had any expectations for the Dark Fighting Spirit, a horror knight's thing, so it's just for fun.
After the Dark Fighting Qi was raised to the second level, Edward was still a black warrior, but the ability to use it and the strength of his body increased.
The skeleton soldier was originally not under Edward's control, because Edward voluntarily gave up the connection between the two sides, and now Edward's strength has improved, which makes the skeleton soldier remember that this person should be his master, so he walked over and waited for the master's orders.
"Spread your wings and soar!"
Edward held his sword in both hands, and as he shouted, he struck an upward blow from the bottom up, knocking half of the skeleton soldier in front of him into the air, including his head.
The man standing behind Edward let out a cheer when they saw the skull that had been lifted into the air rise for a moment before falling to the ground!
"Hero! Hero! Hero!"
Edward killed a skeleton soldier and absorbed the soul fire of the opponent, and all the Black Knights under his command had the ability to transform their men into their own energy.
Lichs like to summon minions and kill minions to replenish their demons, while the Dread Knight kills his men to replenish their health, so Commander creatures are very difficult to deal with.
The people behind him were cheering, and Edward felt that this was very good, so he stopped, and after trampling the remaining skeleton soldiers to the ground, he said: "Quiet! There are still demons among us, because the demons know that my power can protect you, so they will not stir the ignorant villagers to rebel against me after they know that they cannot deal with me! Those who are bewitched by the devil will be punished by labor! And those who bewitch you to rebel against me are the demons!" The devil will make you feel dissatisfied with me in your hearts in silence, and if you have such thoughts, you will be in danger! At this time, you will need intensive labor to purify your mind! I will arrange things for you in the village, and I will also lock this demon in an iron cage to warn those who are tempted by the devil! Let them see the fate of becoming a demon!"
The villagers were all in danger, and they no longer dared to let themselves have any resentment with Edward at this time.
Edward called four soldiers to hold the skeleton's limbs, dismantle the skeleton's limbs, and then use five cages to lock up the skeleton's limbs and head respectively, and the skeleton soldier will not die as long as the soul fire is not extinguished, the constantly opening mouth and the limbs that collide in the cage because of the force pull make the surrounding villagers fully understand what fear is.
Another skeleton soldier that Edward had absorbed had died, and Edward had ordered his men to use flames to burn him to ashes, and the area would be cremated in the future.
After disposing of the two skeletons, Edward returned to the castle with the support of everyone, and from now on, anyone who is dissatisfied with Edward must overcome the fear of demons in their hearts.
The Emerald Plains is close to the Filthy Land, and it is impossible to develop magic here, many people will not come to this place close to the Filthy Land, and the only thing ordinary people need to worry about here is the black land that will fall if they are not careful.
Edward's idea of using the dirt of the Filthy Land to pave the way, the things in the Filthy Land will become ordinary dirt after leaving the Filthy Land, and the farther away from the Filthy Land, the weaker the effect, which is also the reason why many strong people and temples are reluctant to come to this country, for fear of being thrown into a puddle of black soil, and then the power in the body will be corroded by the power of the Filth, no one wants to take this risk.
To put it simply, it's the fear of superhumans that can restrain them and turn them into ordinary people.
Paving the road with dirt from the filthy land will not only prevent the vegetation from growing, but will also make the ground more protected, and no creatures will want to burrow here.
In the plains, there are a lot of creatures that can make holes, and what cement road asphalt road is scum here!
In the words of a certain Führer, it is: slag, slag, slag,
The stronger the pavement, the more it attracts some skilled drillers to build a house.
Therefore, unless the level of science and technology has developed to a certain extent on a national scale, it is simply impractical to make scientific and technological progress on a small scale.
"If you build a road, you don't have to worry about manpower, the materials will be pulled from the filthy place, but it's better to talk to the local animal leader, which sphere of influence does this place belong to?"
There are less than 10,000 updates today, and there will be fewer updates in the future, and the time to touch the computer will be reduced, so you have to make money...... (To be continued.) )
