Chapter 612: The Arrangement of the Celestial Empire
The true congregation of the Church of Light is very large, and the quality of his congregation is also different from the kind of cult members of the Five Elements Temple in the Elemental City. In the Church of Light, anyone who can be called a believer, at least he is a person who can feel the light element, and their ability to grasp the light element is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Therefore, all the believers of the Church of Light are those high-ranking priests or paladins.
Worship the Holy Light and believe in the Light. They have spent their lives fighting for the God of Light.
10 million priests, 10 million paladins.
This is the foundation of the Church of Light, and it is also the pillar of their development.
These 20 million people are like a heavy mountain. In addition to the priests and paladins who stayed in various places, there are about eight million priests and paladins that the Church of Light can mobilize now.
Although the church was divided, these eight million people were able to stand alone in the face of external enemies.
"The Scourge of the Dead has emerged from the southern part of your empire, and our church predicts that the number of Scourge of the Dead will definitely not be less than a billion this time. Even, the number of undead disasters will continue to increase. "The person in front of him must understand how dangerous the situation he is in is now.
As soon as the Son of Heaven heard the number of one billion, his face suddenly turned extremely pale, one billion, the total number of people in his entire empire was only more than three billion.
And less than 30 million of these three billion can really fight.
The 30 million troops are so vast that it is almost difficult to concentrate more than 1 million troops in one place.
Take the Blue Dragon City that has just fallen as an example, the total number of troops in the entire Green Dragon City is only 700,000.
This mere 700,000 people were able to hold out for only three hours before announcing the fall of the Blue Dragon City.
"Heavenly ...... Your Majesty the Son of Heaven!" Suddenly, a eunuch rushed in in a hurry, his hair was scattered, and he looked like he had suddenly rushed in in a hurry.
"What's the matter! don't panic!" the Son of Heaven stood up, he had never seen this personal figure of his own have such a panicked expression.
"Your Majesty! The city of the Blue Dragon has fallen into the hands of the undead, and the Tianzun has forcibly broken through the space and teleported back to the repair shop in the imperial capital, and General Yebei is now also seriously injured. ”
Right now. Not only the man sitting on the dragon chair, but the other people's faces were also extremely pale.
Until now, they actually didn't know the news.
"......" the silence of the mystery.
There wasn't a single sound in the entire hall.
"......" The two cardinals looked at each other, and it was clear that they did not know what the people in this palace were thinking.
"Where is the general?" I don't know why, the Son of Heaven is actually full of an undoubted domineering at this moment. There was a hint of resoluteness and wisdom in his eyes like that of the founding emperor.
"We're here!" the general hurriedly rushed out of the ranks of his ministers, and he ran to the center of the palace and knelt down and shouted loudly.
"I order! Immediately start an emergency combat readiness order! Every household must send one or two soldiers! If no one is out, then let them pay a subsidy of one gold! If anyone does not comply, they will be directly decided!"
"Obey the order!" the general broke out in a cold sweat, this order of the Son of Heaven was too terrible.
There must be one person from every household. Other words. If this order is carried out, then the entire Celestial Empire's army will be doubled.
That's crazy! Nearly 30 million more people!
"Where is Da Sima!"
At this moment, another gray-haired old man stood up, although he looked extremely old, but everyone knew that this old man was the most valued subordinate of the previous emperor and the god of war of the entire empire.
"Great Sima, I order, summon all the people in the empire who are extremely saint-level and above to urgently rush to the city of the Vermilion Bird and the city of the White Tiger. Other than that. Let all the people of the eighth and ninth levels form an elite!
Against an army like the undead, it is definitely not possible to blindly kill.
The army of the undead is like an adult with a group of children. A necromancer with a large group of skeletons, if this necromancer dies as soon as he dies. Then these skeletons will definitely not be able to move.
Therefore, having a decapitation team is a very important thing.
"Weichen! Command!" Da Sima bowed respectfully, this is Da Sima's prerogative, he doesn't have to kowtow to the emperor.
"Where is Da Si Nong?" both the Great General and the Great Sima were named. Then Dasi Nong is naturally inevitably pointed.
"Wechen is here!" Da Si Nong is a middle-aged man, his face is very thin, and the spots on his face seem to indicate his perennial fatigue outside the home.
"Dasi Nong. In the next year to five years, all taxes in the empire will rise by three tiers!"
Da Si Nong's face changed greatly, in normal times, if he wanted to pay an extra layer of tax, those merchants and peasants would have to fight hard with him, but now he actually had to pay three more layers of tax, so this is really going to make people rebel.
The Celestial Empire's tax revenue has always been only one layer.
Historically, half of the taxes were collected during the most difficult period of the founding of the country. Now that the tax has to rise to four tiers, then this will definitely be a big mess.
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Although Da Si Nong felt that this was a bit out of place, he still had to say that he could not collect so many taxes alone.
"Da Si Nong! You can mobilize troops from anywhere to help you collect taxes! All right! You, go down!" Without giving Da Si Nong any chance, the Son of Heaven directly drove Da Si Nong down.
At this time, Dasi Nong's expression was as uncomfortable as eating. Although he had the help of the army, his reputation was stinky.
"Wechen, Leader. Dasi Nong kowtowed, knelt down, and returned to the ranks of his ministers.
"Now, all local legions are under orders!"
Suddenly, a large group of people in armor walked out of the ranks.
"Except for the troops at the front, all the other troops have been transferred to the City of Vermilion Bird and the City of the White Tiger! In addition, all the troops who have fought with the undead will be transferred to the imperial capital! I need them to train new soldiers for me!"
"Wechen obeys!" The generals were excited, they had been waiting for this moment for too long.
These generals knew that the only chance they had to climb high was war. Only with bloody exploits can they gain more feats, and they can grasp greater power.
"All down!" the emperor waved his hand this time, and he calmed down the mood of these generals who were already going crazy.
After all, he is the true master of this empire.
At this time, the Son of Heaven looked at the messenger of the Church of Light, who had been silent there for a long time.
"You guys, go back, let Rondrel Bright come over himself! Give him this thing, he knows how to do it. The Son of Heaven was silent for a moment, and then he threw a token engraved in the image of an angel in his bosom.
Suddenly, the faces of these five people changed greatly, and they took the sign and looked at the Son of Heaven with a shocked face.
"There are so many things you don't know! You are not qualified to know these things, go back and let Long Deli come over. I'm going to talk to him personally. "The Son of Heaven didn't do anything, but his aura was too powerful, and the strength of his aura even almost crushed some of the young courtiers who had just joined this level among the ministers.
"Yes. Emperor. "The cardinal archbishop is the closest to the Son of Heaven, and the suppression of his aura is also the strongest. He replied to the Son of Heaven with a wry smile.
"Except for Da Sima to stay, everyone else will go out!" The order of the Son of Heaven was very obvious, and this time he wanted to have a good talk with Da Sima.
The people around them walked out, and they didn't want to continue to endure the powerful aura of the Son of Heaven.
Soon, all the people in this palace walked out, and suddenly the place that was still a little crowded suddenly became spacious.
Da Sima looked up at the Son of Heaven, and the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
"Your Majesty. It's you. "Da Sima is really too familiar with the first emperor, and even as soon as he saw the change in the expression of the Son of Heaven, he knew that this was the consciousness of the first emperor.
"Old man, I still haven't hidden it from you. The voice of the Son of Heaven was like that of an old man at this moment, and he sighed.
"That's it, Your Majesty, is the matter really this serious this time? This secret method of yours can only be used when the survival of the empire is at stake. Da Sima said helplessly, to be honest, he didn't think that those undead natural disasters could reach this level at all.
Anyone who has fought the Undead Scourge knows that the number of the Scourge armies is really very large.
It can be said that most of the armies of the undead are made up of skeletons, not to mention a soldier, this kind of thing can be easily defeated by even a person who has just come of age.
So no amount of this stuff is of any use.
Therefore, Da Sima was not dismissive of the billions at all.
"Old man, it seems that you still don't understand the threat that our empire may encounter. The Son of Heaven sighed again.
"Oh, what the hell is going on?" Da Sima was also puzzled for a moment, he didn't know what kind of medicine the emperor was selling.
"Aside from that damn undead, don't forget, there's another place that could be attacking!"
“!”
"Don't forget, there were a total of five shock sources at that time, and there were two in our empire. Now it's certain. One of them is the Undead Scourge, so what is the other one!" The Emperor's tone was a little bitter.
"I'm sure! There's one more terrible than the undead scourge, so I'll have to do my best!" )
