The two or three storey super-large Azeroth water elementals were still in hot pursuit, even killing them all!

Its faceless facial features suddenly emitted a rapid "Wow" water flow, as if it was a special spell language, and then with a wave of its arms, it unleashed blue-green water arrows, which flew densely like rain at those tall sub-giants.

The muffled sound of "bang bang bang" rose in all directions, and the sub-giants who were concentrated by the water arrows seemed to be hit by a burst of sledgehammers, and they all screamed "oops, oops" and routed down the city wall.

And below, the powerful chain of lightning of the large gas element was waiting for them!

Amid the cheers of the crowd, Dong Q calmly noticed a phenomenon -- the thick armor of the sub-giant didn't seem to have any effect on the water arrows! The effect of those water arrows hitting them was like a magic missile! Could it be that these water arrows did not rely on impact to hurt people, but were used to transmit special offensive energy to kill and injure the enemy?

At this moment, a loud "woo" horn sound was heard in the distance, and the sub-giant immediately flew back with a strange scream, and the speed was not slower than when it came.

It turned out that their patriarch and priest Salomang knew that he could not win after seeing the appearance of the super-large water elemental, so he immediately ordered them to withdraw to preserve the last of their strength.

The corpses of a dozen sub-giants were scattered across the walls, and a few who were not dead were covered in blood and struggling to get up, cursing the despicable humans in despair in an incomprehensible giant language. Then under the bombardment of bows and arrows and magic missiles, they were scattered into pieces of rotten flesh.

The human soldiers immediately raised their arms and cheered, and everyone had ecstatic expressions on their faces. A few people even hugged their heads in pain. The scene of escaping death just now was too shocking. One moment the mighty enemy swept the poor soldiers across the walls like a tyrannical storm, and the next they retreated like a tidal tide. How is this miraculous victory not exciting?

As a result, their expressions when they looked at the miracle maker, Dong Q, became extremely respectful. It was as if he had seen a great pope, and he almost knelt down and bowed. Even the old priest of the Mother Earth Goddess, after healing the wounded, ran very respectfully and quickly to meet him, and invited him to sit in his little temple. Because the old priest knew that "Summoning a Super Large Element" was an 8th-order spell, and those who could easily use this kind of scepter must have a lot of power behind it!

Dong Q nodded in agreement. Just as they were about to leave, the human soldiers were already packing up their loot. I saw several of them laboriously carrying large axes and fanged rods together. Cut through the thick leather armor of the sub-giant. And even began to cut the flesh of dead bodies!

They were slicing and laughing as they cut in large chunks, with no expression of discomfort at all. He even said, "This piece of meat belongs to me, and the liver inside is for you", "Don't cut the skin of this place, you can use it to make a fine coat", "If you chop your tongue and heart and cook it together, you can make a very wonderful taste". Dong Q looked back at the old pastor, and he also had a strange expression, and he did not show any unbearable or uncomfortable expression because of his "good camp". @3@@q@@Chinese@@首@@发@

Dong Q's heart suddenly became solemn, and people were a little unbearable to look similar to themselves. But looking at these people, all of them are a picture of "strong men hungry for Hulu meat, laughing and thirsty for Hun blood". It can be seen that the antagonism between races is very strict!

He followed the old priest as he walked towards the only small temple in the city, and continued to think: today's battle seemed to be won easily. In fact, most of them relied on the oppressive power of the large air element and the super large water element. If it weren't for the help of these two high-ranking guys. Ordinary soldiers alone will never be able to win! Even if there are twice as many of them, it's just a bunch of rotten Q! The sub-giant barbarian fighters can swing clean with a few axes! And it is difficult for the arcane spearheads to resist the high-speed onslaught used by the humanoid rhinoceros-like sub-giants in hand-to-hand combat! Because in the face of that stormy attack, it is quite difficult to cast a spell smoothly. Besides, they're just low-level spells?

For example, if you don't have to disguise your identity in this battle, and use a chain of lightning to carry out a non-stop intensive attack as soon as the sub-giants come out of the woods, even if they can't kill most of them, it can greatly reduce their speed and momentum, so that others have the opportunity to use more ranged attacks, then this battle will not be one-sided.

High spells play an irreplaceable role here!

Dong Q suddenly understood why the gap between the rich and the poor in this world was huge!

Because order is based on violence! And in this world, the violence of the caster is dominant in terms of power and quantity! For example, today, if a mage who knows the 6th order of chain lightning carries his own chain lightning scroll, then his effect is stronger than that of 500 ordinary soldiers who are fully armed! You must know that those sub-giants wearing strange insect armor can all be lightly beaten by one! "Fifty with one" is not impossible! except for using the corresponding spell to restrain them. You can't find a better way!

It is precisely because of this that mages and priests, especially high mages and priests, play an irreplaceable role in the entire human society! Moreover, because they can use scrolls, staffs, and other forms to provide powerful violence to other people or organizations, it is only natural that these spellcasters become the cornerstone of order!

When power is in the hands of a small number of people, wealth and power will inevitably be grasped by these people! This is like a feudal society, when violence is in the hands of the knightly class in the hands of the aristocracy, the nobles undoubtedly have the power that cannot be overthrown. You may be able to kill one or even a group of nobles, but you can't eliminate the entire noble class. The overthrow of the aristocracy became possible only when muskets appeared and a peasant could also "defeat" a knight. Don't underestimate this "can be defeated", it is a great leap forward! It would be a fantasy for a poor and inexperienced farmer to kill a well-trained, armed knight to the teeth on the battlefield! And with the musket, the dream became a manifestation, and for the common people this leap was like a man landing on the moon!

The history of the future generations on earth also shows that when force gradually spreads into the hands of the masses, the era of a few people holding power and monopolizing all interests will slowly pass.3::q::Chinese::Shou::Fa This is exactly "power will have status"! When one class can confront another, the interests have to be dispersed to more people. After entering the era of mechanized industry and electrical industry. This phenomenon is even more obvious: on the surface, an army of tanks can kill countless civilians at will. But in fact the strength of this army does not come from itself, but from the manufacturers of gunpowder, from the manufacturers of steel, from the manufacturers of electric Q systems, from the manufacturers of various other parts. And these "powers" that these manufacturers want to create come from miners, material processors, transporters, welders, wire wrappers, casters, draftsmen, riveters, and thousands of other ordinary people, in other words, the strength of this army actually comes from countless ordinary people! This is the inevitable situation led by socialized mass production.

If we treat civilians harshly, we will not only suppress civilians, but also suppress the army itself! It will cause the development of the army itself to stagnate or even retreat. And those societies that do not suppress the poor will gradually increase in military power until they surpass the former, and finally swallow it up completely!

So when the majority of people have the strength or the power belongs to the majority, the average person has the opportunity to alleviate the oppression a little. It's a pity that in this world, power belongs to only a few. A handful of top figures.

For other civilians and even some middle-class locals, there was the upper-class Mori Wolf Tooth in front. Behind it is the fierce tiger's mouth of the alien race. Caught in the middle of the situation. You can't advance or retreat!

This is also the reason why those middle and low-level mages are desperately trying to climb to the top of the mountain. Those who do not eat human flesh are those who are eaten by others. There is no other option.

Dong Q sighed secretly, it is really inappropriate to live in this world. The higher the pyramid of society, the more brilliant and gorgeous, and the lower the place, the more dusty and muddy, and there is no future. When I looked up, I saw the old priest's small temple in front of me.

At first glance, it looked like a two-story inn, and at first glance it looked as dull as the old priest's robes, and it was quite a few years old. The appearance is quite neat, but the blue-gray stone walls show a few traces of stone chips peeling to the ground, and the wooden beams and pillars are also slightly swelled, like a middle-aged man squatting on the ground. Although he is burly, his skin is thick and his flesh is dry. The old state is revealed.

But around the house, there are some green shrubs about a person tall, and the lovely leaves are as tender as if they were pieces of jade products. Crystal seductive. It is as if countless flying pieces of jade surround the sturdy and tall ancient temple, making it highlight a vigorous vitality.

Inside the temple, apart from a few neat seats, there is a medium-sized altar at the front. There was an air of intricate and vivid spells emanating from there. Dong Q took a closer look, and there were several neat circles of runes engraved on the altar, as if a special magic array was exuding an aura-like effect.

Dong Q used the Yuan Shen to passively induce, and immediately found that the entire big house was filled with the spell effect of "calming the mind", which can counteract people's negative feelings and calm the mind. Hehe, compared to many people who are hopeless in life, they like to come here, because as soon as they come in, they will forget their boredom and distress, and over time they will have a sense of dependence on this mother earth goddess.

Further induction, there is also a high "density" of positive energy here, which is obviously the effect of "reverence", which makes the big house full of positive energy, so that people who come here feel refreshed, and can also eliminate fatigue. Dong Q aimed the detection power of the Yuan Shen at the altar again, but found that there seemed to be another power hidden in it, but it was not emitted.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the old priest to pour tea, he walked to the altar and sensed it carefully, and immediately found that there was an enchantment effect of the "Anti-Evil Circle" hidden in it. Strangely, this barrier only exists in the zĂ i altar, and is not opened to cover the big house. Could it be that the owner did it on purpose?

Dong Q politely took the tea and sat down, and while slowly tasting it, he secretly estimated that the old priest made such an arrangement, and it was eighty percent that some people in the town were not good, but they did not dare to openly confront it. Or they are unwilling to give up on those people, hoping that one day they will "change their ways" and throw themselves into the arms of Mother Earth God. That's why the "Anti-Evil Circle" was hidden and kept unrevealed, waiting for a critical moment to be used again.

The two chatted slowly, and the old priest was very interested in Dong Q's "Church of the God of the Air Element", and asked the location of the temple, its size, the number of believers, and of course, the most important question was where the income came from. It's just because he mistakenly thinks that the water mist scepter in Dong Q's hand was bought! In his opinion, it is impossible for a "Divine Earth Priest of the Air Elemental" to make a "Water Elemental" Scepter. What's more, it is impossible for a priest who only has a 5th-order divine skill to make such an expensive scepter with such an inheritance.

Dong Q naturally talked nonsense casually, and said for a while that his temple was in the deep mountains and old forests. There weren't many prisoners. One moment he said that the temple was in charge of a small mining area and made some money, and the other he said that his mist scepter had been given to him by the god of the air element, Akrodi, during a prayer. Anyway, all the questions that are not easy to make sense or say are pushed onto the gods. Fortunately, the God of the Qi Elemental and its church are already very mysterious, and the outside world does not know much information. The old priest was only slightly disappointed, and did not immediately become suspicious. Instead, Dong Q pestered the old priest and asked: "Oh, I have seen the magnificent shrine of your Mother Earth God Church in Rodriscuy City, and I heard that most of the temples everywhere are golden and brilliant, and the wealth is extraordinary. Why is the temple so old?"

The old priest smiled bitterly: "The temples in various places are built by the priests themselves at their own expense, and the priests of the rich land naturally have enough money to repair and decorate." Even some nobles and big businessmen took the initiative to pay to help build it, naturally it was the rich Chinese Emperor. Majestic and magnificent. But not only does we have little income in this small place, but the weather has not been good in recent years. The land has failed every year. People don't have much money to donate to the church. Occasionally, we have a little money to spare. You look at a small temple that was renovated four years ago. Later, there was not much money to repair. If the climate continues to be so chaotic, our day will become more and more difficult. He sighed softly with a gloomy expression, drank some tea, and then said slowly: "I heard from the people in the town, your team originally planned to go to Sizhuang Houde, or don't go, the situation over there is even worse, and all kinds of crops have failed for six or seven consecutive years." If it weren't for the fact that there was a great river to transport food, a famine would have broken out long ago. Two months ago, I heard from a merchant who was passing by that there was a panic that there might be another riot of all kinds of strong grain. He said here. His expression suddenly became extremely strict. It seems to be worrying about something.

Dong Q suddenly sent out the teacup and asked very seriously, "You are here." How many can you feed with 10 babies?"

The old priest was a little puzzled, and was stunned for a moment before replying: "With the blessing of Mother Earth God, child Q probably won't die young, and ** out of 10 will grow up." ”

Dong Q chuckled in his heart, and secretly screamed that it was not good! Hurriedly asked again: "So how many children can each family have?"

The old priest replied honestly: "Three or four at the least, and ** at the most." It's a pity that it's easy to grow up, but it's hard to live to be old. Either died on the battlefield, or went out and never heard from him, and since then he has not known whether he has lived or died. There are also some children who go astray and become bandits and robbers, and are finally exterminated by righteous people. They didn't have a good reputation after death. The soul will go to the kingdom of the evil gods to be deceived and sinned. It's really pitiful. ”

Dong Q also nodded lightly and said, "It's really pitiful." But he does not feel pity for those who have "gone astray," but feels pity for the entire human race! Pathetic human beings! The birth rate and survival rate are too high, but the arable land is limited! The contradiction between population and resources must be very great in this world. There are only two solutions to this situation: one is to expand outward, exterminate other races in the surrounding area, annex their territory, and develop arable land to feed humanity. But obviously, there is no arable land on the territory of other races, and it is useless to annex it! The second is infighting, where those who have no land kill those who have land, or those who have no land fight each other, until everyone is almost dead, and the population and resources have reached a balance, and the infighting will automatically stop.

Judging from the information available so far, this second path is the most likely. And the destructive power of internal strife to civilization is not weaker than that of foreign enemies, and sometimes it is even more fierce and ruthless!

When Dong Q returned to the baron's small castle, there was a group of arcane soldiers and a few knights in the clearing, in the middle was actually Grimm shouting something, and next to him were several bloody sub-giant heads like large red clay pots!

And Grimm found a half-human-high clay pot cauldron out of nowhere, and set it on the fire to boil slowly. He shouted: "Fresh sub-giant brain soup! It is delicious and nutritious! It can not only refresh your mind, but also improve the abilities of your body! Everyone can hear clearly, it is all kinds of abilities! I guarantee that you can do everything as fiercely and fast as these brute fighters! Don't laugh. Don't think about it, that ability is only fierce and not fast. This is done the same way Pastor Elilu taught me, and it definitely works! Oh, here's the pastor, you can ask him. ”

Dong Q took a closer look, and the big clay pot was indeed boiling with white flowers, and he sniffed it carefully, although the fire control was a little worse, but the ingredients in it were not wrong. So he nodded and said, "It's really made according to my method." The effect is definitely there."

Seeing that the people around him were looking expectant, Grimm immediately said, "Then how about you come and try the taste?"
