As the chief apostle of the god of glass and the god's most trusted right-hand man, Sauter has always been in the rear.

The status of emperor is not an honor for him, but more of a responsibility and burden.

As Emperor, he had to maintain the confidence and faith of the entire nation.

Only by strengthening faith can the army be invincible and firm in faith, and only then can believers offer a steady stream of fire of faith to the god of bo.

The Empire is confident in this war, and the weak enemy is losing ground one by one, and the final victory will belong to the Empire.

The barbaric and backward kingdom of Uji has only one way to fall, and the king of Uji, who rules that dark country, will also be judged by Lord Boshen.

Everyone is convinced of this.

The appearance of the locust plague made Sauter a little uneasy.

This bug is actually a mutated transcendent species.

The timing is a bit too coincidental.

It was now the eve of the Empire's imminent conquest of the Uji, and not only the farmland and pastures in the rear, but also the logistics line connecting the front and back were also attacked by another black monster.

Perhaps it was because the other apostles had been out of touch for so long, leaving Sauth with a sense of concern that things weren't going as planned.

It could also be a fear of the hidden dangers of the empire.

As the Emperor who has been at the helm of the Empire for many years, Sauter is well aware that the Empire's hard-blooded and invincible legions rely on the dedication and patience of civilians in the rear of the Empire.

The increasing number of soldiers in the empire and the dwindling number of peasants has always been a huge problem.

Civilians are eager to be battlefield heroes, and the ability to kill enemies is quickly rewarded with great reverence for war, which makes every conscription in the Empire always exceed the ranks. Many people boasted that this was a manifestation of the prosperity of the martial arts and the prosperity of the empire.

Sauter has been trying to reverse this for years.

The empire needed more people, more peasants, more artisans and fishermen, and the number of soldiers today was too much for the country.

He cut down the regiment again and again, and in the end he became more and more soldiers.

These soldiers have various names, militia, auxiliaries, engineers, reserves, fortifications...... They don't occupy the legion, but they are real soldiers.

Soter killed batch after batch of ministers and generals for this.

But a large number of redundant soldiers remained.

He never had a good face when facing bureaucrats.

The enemy is like some kind of immortal thing, constantly resurrected in different ministers and generals, slaughtering one and the next, and it will not be left unless everyone is slaughtered.

Sot was tired.

He didn't want to spend any more effort managing the world, these people were the resources of Lord Boshen, and they couldn't be killed easily.

The apostle's fellow apostle Yanihu advised him: "Why care? ”

"It's just a bunch of mortals, and their lives are short. As long as they can reproduce and offer their faith, nothing else matters. ”

"Sauter, we are servants of the gods, mortals are but livestock. Why bother to understand what livestock think? The food, the gold, the spouses, the land, they are fighting for are ridiculous things in our eyes. ”

"As long as they are alive and religious, our mission is accomplished."

Although Sauter disagreed, he did not refute it.

Because this is the will of Lord Bojin.

As the sole ruler of this world, the Bodhisattva God's command to this empire is just that, providing the population and faith, and nothing else matters......

The apostle's personal thoughts are less, and there are many fewer troubles.

Sauter interrupted his thoughts and opened his hand.

Countless black smoke rose from him, drowning all the locusts in the surrounding fields, and soon the locusts were stiff and could no longer move.

As long as it is a living thing, even a transcendent creature, Thorter is easy to deal with, his smoke covers a wide area, and the smoke poison can easily stifle all kinds of life that fall into it.

The locusts that covered the mountains were blackened and turned into a field of stiff corpses.

But there was no joy on Sauter's face.

Because new swarms of locusts have flown in.

They threw themselves to the ground and devoured the corpses of their kind everywhere without waste. They then quickly lay their eggs in the dirt and continue to search for edible food around them.

Disgusting!

Sauter scolded in his heart.

Then he released more black smoke and poisoned batch after batch of locusts. This caused a huge drain, making him feel extremely tired and his mana was a little stretched.

Suddenly, the oracle came.

An indifferent voice rang in his ears: "What's the matter with bugs?" ”

Sauter knelt on the ground and said tremblingly, "My lord, these insects have evolved into transcendent bodies, and I am cleaning them up. ”

"Why?"

Faced with the gods' questioning, Sauter was a little speechless for a while.

There are many reasons for this.

If other wild transcendent creatures can be retained, it will be difficult for these bugs to develop to such a scale, and they will definitely be contained and hunted by other transcendent groups.

If the transcendent groups born among the mortals are not terminated, they can spontaneously dispose of the bugs to prevent them from expanding further.

If there were more occupations and agriculture was encouraged, farmers who were good at dealing with pests could solve the problem......

Unfortunately, none of this is possible.

The Empire is a vast pasture that provides faith and population for the gods, and does not need transcendents to distinguish them from the group, but only for them to give birth and sacrifice the fire of faith in a docile and obedient manner.

"If the other apostles had such an idea as yours, it has now been built into an altar."

Boshen's cold voice came into his head, causing Sauter to break out in a cold sweat.

"Because of your loyalty, but I give you one last warning, I just need you to carry out and answer."

"Yes, my lord."

Sauter pressed his head to the ground as a sign of absolute submission.

"Deal with the bugs, now that I've found King Uji, he's divinely weak, I'll get rid of him right away. In the meantime, don't make any mistakes. ”

"Yes, my lord."

It wasn't until there was no more sound in his head that Sauter slowly got up after a long time.

As long as you can swallow the Uji Kingdom, all kinds of problems can be solved.

As long as the empire wins, as long as it continues to win, no matter how many problems this tank has, it is not a problem.

Sauter began to continue to slaughter the locust swarms, and the two sides were locked in a war of attrition in mana and numbers.

……

The lethality of the bully locusts exceeded Lu Yao's estimates.

Almost unhindered, they drove all the way into the Glass God Realm, quickly settling and multiplying in the world of the Dreadnought Empire, eating ground crops and various foods, turning the rear of the Empire upside down.

From a bird's-eye view, Lu Yao noticed that the surroundings of Crystal City had been completely occupied by locusts. The imperial capital is defended by a totem that makes it impossible for bullies and locusts to cross over the walls.

……

【Flame Totem】

Health: 700/700

Damage: 20

Defense: 8

Speed: 8

【Totem】

Selects an area to be permanently placed, and automatically attacks all other believers within range.

……

Six flame totems form an invisible moat that burns the swarms of locusts that come close.

After heavy casualties, the bullies and locusts found a way.

They lay their eggs deep underground. Once hatched, some of these eggs can detour from the underground into the city, crossing the range of the Fire Totem's attack.

As time went on, there were scattered bullies and locusts burrowing into the city from underground, stealing chickens and dogs everywhere in search of food. The soldiers of Crystal City also took action, frantically hunting and killing insects.

But the defense line has been torn apart, and it will be difficult for Crystal City to stop the underground invasion of the swarm without other means.

The only surviving apostle, Sauter, as Emperor of the Empire, even had to deal with the locust swarm himself.

Lu Yao looked a little embarrassed.

The Boshen Realm is a typical example of uneven and inadequate development.

A militaristic military empire must obtain resources from war to keep it running. Except for the army, other professions and outputs are very scarce, and they are completely forcibly maintained by the power of gods and apostles, and cannot withstand any blows and disasters at all.

The god of glass has almost exterminated all the transcendent creatures in this world, leaving only the sand lizard that can be domesticated, and what he wants is obviously absolute obedience.

Watching the emperor and the insect swarm go back and forth, Lu Yao only felt absurd and magical.

This chief apostle has reached LV40, and is the strongest of the four subordinates of Boshen. But he is in a bitter battle with the weak bully Locusts, who have long been scattered all around, and the swarms continue to eat all kinds of food in this world, and their strongest weapons are the constant numbers.

The Emperor's opponent was not just locusts, but also most of nature in the logistics of the swarms.

At the same time, Isabel in the rear gave a reminder.

"My lord, King Wuji has taken the initiative to attack as you requested, and successfully lured Boshen to attack."

Lu Yao put down the teacup.

The main lord has finally come out.

He clicked on the Golden Fields and completely connected the Northern New World with the world of the Uji Kingdom through [Creating a Connection], and the young dragon controlled the Dark Sun and the Dark Sun Legion to rush to the front line, ready to support the front at any time.

On the other side, the tyrant Sarina has locked on to the Emperor and can decapitate him at any time.

The snowman dug a deep hole for a long time, and waited for the god to confirm that the battlefield appeared, and then sneaked into the city. Under the [high-class camouflage], it makes its way to the outside of the palatial palace, ready to perform its traditional craftsmanship at any time.

Jimmy raised his arms and shouted, "For Lord Yaoshen!" Punish the belligerent evil gods! ”
