Chapter 52: Mercy
Lu Yuanming now has nearly a hundred priests.
As Grace marched, every village swept through, these villages were basically infested by the black silk monsters, when Grace's army arrived, these monsters immediately transformed and destroyed everywhere, when Grace's army exterminated them, some villages were almost completely wiped out, and some villages had survivors, and the priests among them were often the ones with the more survival rate.
This time Grace is not as gentle as before with the priests, these priests regardless of the belief in any gods, all arrested, and then Grace personally talked, willing to convert immediately, Grace in the name of her main god swore an oath to ensure their safety, her main god will also break the incoming gods and gods, let them believe in the god of order of light, if they do not convert, then immediately cut down, the head is used to build a Jingguan.
In the past, this practice would have caused chaos, and even Grace's internal vassals would turn against her, because she was digging into the foundations of the nobility.
But now it is different, one is that this demon is in the world, and the human race is in danger, and the other is that the main god of Grace, the god of order of light, is so powerful that not only the divine realm comes from the sky, but no matter what god these priests believe in, he will destroy it all silently.
This gave Grace a great deal of confidence, and it made her vassals more respectful, and they were silent when it came to coercing the priests to convert.
In this way, dozens of villages were swept in succession, and most of the priests were converted, especially the more priests after conversion, and they could exert their holy power, the more decisive the next converted priests became.
In just a few days, Grace's army arrived in the city-state capital of the district, a medium-sized city.
The nobles and high nobles in the city already knew that the villages of the city-state had been attacked, and even the presence of monsters in these villages was clear to them.
In fact, although those monsters can hide in the crowd, they are no longer the original people after all, and they may not be exposed in a short time, but these nobles and high nobles are all thoughtful people, how cruel the palace political struggle is, and observing words and colors is their specialty, when a large number of monsters appear in the village, some unspoken information has been passed among the nobles.
There was something wrong with some of them......
So when Grace's army came to this first city, the nobles and high nobles who had been prepared for a long time immediately led the private army to protect their relatives and relatives from the city gate, and these private troops and relatives were screened and screened by them, and they were afraid of the monsters lurking inside.
Sure enough, when the city gate was opened, the monsters in the city immediately transformed out, and more than a hundred monsters began to burn everywhere in the city, from the relatives of the city lord, to the high nobles, to the ordinary nobles, to the knights and soldiers, to the free people, and even among the slaves, all of them were lurking, and at this time suddenly erupted, and for a time the whole city fell into chaos and boiling, and then the flames burned, at most less than ten minutes, a large area of flames in the city swept by, forced the survivors to start running towards the city gates.
Grace immediately ordered the army to cross the city gate, and all the priests blessed the army soldiers, and at the same time used the holy power to prepare for battle, if it was a human being, it would be released from the city, and if it was a monster, it would be blocked and killed at the city gate.
This decision was correct, after paying the lives of nearly a hundred soldiers, in the end, Grace and the priests, together with the soldiers, killed more than 300 monsters, although the entire city died at least sixty percent of the people, but this is not Grace They cared.
But Lu Yuanming cared.
There were a large number of priests who believed in him, and although each priest could only vaguely convey a small amount of information to him, they still allowed him to know a lot of information in this demonic realm.
This is a medieval civilized world isolated by fog, poor, backward, ignorant, cruel, in this world, the gap between each class is frighteningly large, slaves, serfs are not even intelligent beings in this world, they are animals or tools that can be killed by their masters at will, and many times even used as sacrifices will be disliked.
Above the serfs and slaves were the peasants, that is, the self-producing peasants, the yeoman peasants, although the status was also low, but the lords would not kill innocently, and at the same time they were the main source of sacrifices to the gods.
Further up were the urban freedmen, who were either long-standing subjects of the nobility or knighthood, or distant relatives of the nobles and knights, who were either craftsmen or clerical clerks who knew a little of the written language, and who served as citizens of the city and bureaucrats of the lower classes of the villages.
It was not until this class that they had the most basic life safety, but it was still not safe, and from time to time some large sacrifices would be brought as sacrifices, and in some years of grain failure, mass starvation of freedmen in the city also occurred from time to time.
At the top is the knight class, as well as the high bureaucratic class, one is for the nobles to master the force, and the other is loyal to the cultural writing for the nobles, seriously speaking, they all belong to the ruling class, but in the information that Lu Yuanming saw, such knights and high bureaucrats can eat enough gray bread every meal.
The kind of bread baked with soil, gravel, bran and other things, mixed with flour is called black bread, and the so-called gray bread is scooped out of the gravel and most of the mud, but only a little bit, there is a lot of bran and the like, the baked bread ash is not pulled, and at the same time eat the throat cut, this is called gray bread, as for the best white bread, it needs to be carefully washed dozens of times with wooden products, only white flour is left, and only the soft bread that can be obtained, that is, the city lord may not be able to eat every meal.
In short, the knights and high bureaucrats at the end of the so-called ruling class, who lived a slightly more personal life, were at least able to eat gray bread at every meal, and occasionally to a full meal.
Only when it comes to the aristocracy, the priests, the high nobles, the lords of the city-state, the real ruling class, can they have the safety of life, the freedom of status, a small amount of entertainment, a small amount of enjoyment, and so on.
What a miserable world!
If it was Tang Zhe'an, Bai Ye, or any of the high-ranking human beings present, they would immediately say that Lu Yuanming's Holy Mother Heart had exploded again.
Although Lu Yuanming knew that this was the realm of demons, as long as he was not really completely demonic, then everything here could be regarded as illusory, but when he saw that countless slaves, serfs, peasants, free people, etc. were massacred, and he was also pitiful, and he wanted to do something for these innocent and poor people.
“…… Open a position and release the mother? What do you mean? ”
Grace's face was full of confusion, and she was also confused by nearly 100 priests who had obeyed Lu Yuanming.
They have never heard of the term "opening a warehouse and releasing grain", they understand the meaning of the words, but what do these words mean together?
In their concept, there is no such concept as giving food to the poor and farmers.
The big noodles of the white flowers were taken out and given to those peasant serfs, isn't this a waste of grain!?
So Grace, who has always been fanatical and pious to Lu Yuanming, is also silent.
It's not that they don't do what God tells them to do, it's that they don't know what to do or what the point is.
It's as pointless as slashing red and letting water and air be knights.
So Grace had to say that famous line.
“…… Bringing the big white noodles to serfs and slaves is really a waste of food. Grace said as a matter of course.
And then she flew......
In the frightened gaze of the new priest, Grace was knocked away for nearly a hundred meters, her limbs were broken off, and her whole body was spurting blood, but it healed quickly in the holy light, and then Grace jumped up from the ground, she gritted her teeth and said, "Put!" Let's put the grain! God's Word is the absolute truth, put!! ”
The rest of the priests all nodded, and those nobles and high-ranking nobles, although their faces were not good, they did not dare to have the slightest objection at this time.
Grace is the patron of the gods, such a serious injury would be fine in the blink of an eye, and if it were them, it would really fall apart, right? The kind that can't be spelled evenly.
With Grace's agreement to release grain, the grain of the city lords and nobles in the city was released to commoners, slaves, serfs, peasants......
The lower classes were all stunned until the soldiers stuffed the baked bread into their hands, and they bit into the food in a daze, and then the priests began to spread the prestige of the god of light and order, and also told them that the divine decree of the gods gave them food, and asked them to be grateful to the gods.
Then all the priests sensed the divine will at this time, and their faces were incredulous, but they still obediently let go of the holy power, and let this precious holy power heal the wounds of these animals and inferior people, and tell the slaves among them that they are no longer slaves......
After all this, these people, who were treated as cattle and tools by the nobles and nobles, some of them wept and knelt down to chant the name of God, and some wept bitterly and hugged their relatives and could not ...... themselves.
At this moment, Grace and the other priests saw that there were black silks rising from under the city, and before they could make an attack gesture, these black silks began to volatilize and dissipate, and on the bodies of these surviving inferior people in the city, there was a light similar to holy power rising, and there were many things that seemed to be ghosts and human forms that seemed to be in the form of holy lights......
Lu Yuanming looked at all this in amazement, he saw the first thing that appeared in the realm of entering the demon, that is, the projections of the heroic spirits and martyrs, at that time, these projections saved him and allowed him to survive from the realm of tombstone entering the demon, and at this time, ......
"Cognitive upgrade?"
Lu Yuanming was surprised, puzzled, and then silent......
The heart of man is flesh and blood, and you have mercy on me, and I have given you all......
"The light of the golden seed?"
Lu Yuanming muttered.
