Chapter 346: Cutting down mountains and destroying temples, and the empire is integrated
The main purpose of everything Byron did some time ago was to prepare for fishing in the New World:
"Conclude two "Covenants of Man and God" belonging to [Mammon the Worm of Greed] and [Lilith of the Mother of Creation] respectively, and let them pull each other;
Debt into the "Bantaan Cathedral Joint Stock Company", which Sister Teresa is still planning, eats up the clergy little by little and lures them to fall;
dragged the nuns and a group of commoners in the star chamber court in the center of the kingdom, and in order to maintain a decent life, the [executioners] who were usually particularly short of money were dragged into the stock market and locked up;
An online financial street that stands out in the world with commercial efficiency, integrating many people, goods, resources, intelligence, and money in the Old Continent, the Bantaan Islands, and the edge of the world;
Take the "Genetics" technology to invest in the Blood Thirsty Order, and every day that passes, the proportion of equity will increase by one point, and the position of the high priest who will replace [Ms. Leech] is just around the corner;
Take the "Modern Medicine" technology to invest in the Peeling Church, two days ago, [Fairy] Rigrell has completed the third-order promotion and started to act, and there should be good news in the near future;
In addition, the strongest one is the [Golden Law] anchored by nearly 500 city-states and 13 million people of the two major indigenous empires! β
The silk threads made of interests and contracts twisted into a strand of slings are far more complex and sturdy than the one they had built in Iron Anchor Bay.
This is the confidence of Byron to dare to talk to an old god and save people from his belly.
Opportunity only favors those who are prepared, and there is no point in setting off for an adventure in the New World before you are ready, and it is easy to get yourself into it if you are not careful.
As a result, he was still pretending to be a loyal minister, poisoning the money, and taking the opportunity of bribery to use a bunch of royal parties as fishing lines for Tongtong to pull on a "fishing boat".
On the other side, a voice said, "Embrace civilization and break the blood sacrifice!" The slogan has resounded throughout the Yucatan.
The "Guardian Army" of the two empires has begun to divide their troops into two routes, one south and one north, to cut down mountains and destroy temples against other stubborn resisters.
The other city-states at first thought that it was a normal war for the purpose of hunting sacrifices, but they suffered a great loss at once.
Byron followed the example and first applied the Church's philosophy of "the sword and the cross, military conquest and spiritual conquest with both hands, and both hands should be strong" to the island of Yucatan.
And it's not all about the violent annexation of the city-states by "cathars", with the addition of relatively mild economic warfare.
The converts are supported by resources and various military equipment, while the recalcitrant ones cut off supplies and all foreign trade, kicking them back to the Neolithic Age.
Without their hands, they will gradually die under the harsh living environment, evil spirits, grotesques and the attack of nearby city-states.
Then naturally, there will be "well-wishers in the resource recycling business" to receive the city-state's legacy.
Syllable!
When Byron sent him away, he seemed to have picked up a big bargain kingdom messengers, and with another snap of his fingers, he summoned his maid Shirley:
"Master."
Byron pointed to the corpse of the "Lancastrian Party" and ordered:
"When you go to feed the [Blue Dragon King] today, don't forget to send these thousands of useless corpses to the edge of the world and hand them over to our branch manager."
Shirley respectfully responded:
"Yes, master."
These corpses can only be buried in the territory, and they also occupy the space, delaying the development of real estate, but once they are in the hands of his cousin Edward, the [Lich], they are all excellent strong laborers.
Living corpses, zombies, skeletons, and corpse puppets have something for them.
And all of them are the appearance of the Lancaster Party, which makes Edward see how kind he is, and he will definitely be more energetic in his work.
Byron couldn't help but give thirty-two thumbs up for his thoughtfulness.
Then he shouted softly: "Out of the body!" β
[Execution in a Dream] was activated, and a brilliant colored aura flew out from overhead, and in an instant, under the protection of the legal network, he crossed thousands of miles and came to the twelve-story pyramid of Tayapan.
The borders that had been opened here for a long time did not hinder him.
At this time, the idol in the temple at the top of the tower had changed at the speed of light, and it was the same as the indigenous youth he had changed into before.
At the foot of the idol was already sitting on one of the two high-backed chairs.
But Catherine, dressed in a red dress, stepping on a pair of crystal high heels, and holding her brilliant blonde hair high with a jewel hairpin.
There is nothing big about the international port, but Tayapan is in ruins after an accident, and Byron can only pull this virtuous assistant over to suppress the formation.
And Catherine's appearance is not the same as before.
After completing the first initiation ceremony of the forbidden book "Dragon Crown", and truly merging with the Mithril Dragon Soul in his body, two small golden dragon horns appeared on his smooth forehead.
The skin has turned into a wheat color with a healthy luster, and the already perfect body has become hot again, and the pair of long legs glowing with honey under the skirt are round and firm.
Between raising your hands and feet, there is a powerful power that shocks people's hearts, and it is the dragon power that emanates from the bones!
You must know that even ordinary "dragon dung potion" can deter powerful sea monsters, and Catherine is now on the path of a real dragon.
It has a natural suppressive power against almost all the beast spirit warriors in the Book of the Hundred Beasts (Volume I).
When a group of indigenous transcendents faced her, they had to be cowardly before they fought.
She was also regarded by the natives as the spokesperson of the divine right of the Lord of Heaven, and was the supreme ruler of the city-state along with Byron.
Byron fell to Catherine's side and admired this beautiful girl who had changed into an indigenous dragonman and had a unique flavor.
I think that if she returns to Heatings now, she should be beautiful enough to compete with Elizabeth Woodwell, the [No. 1 beauty in the Channel Islands].
If the other party does not have the blessing of the title ability, only the foundation of the beauty, there is a high probability that it will not be as good as Catherine, who has been blessed by the blood of the night demon and the Mithril dragon.
The beauty of the latter has completely transcended the realm of mortals.
I only hope that this queen does not have a holy relic called [Magic Mirror], and she will not be idle and ask each other who is the most beautiful woman in the kingdom."
Otherwise, Catherine might be in danger. β
It wasn't until I saw that the girl's face was slightly red, and then I coughed lightly:
"Sister, how are you feeling now?"
Catherine smiled:
"It's a great feeling now, and I've never felt better than I am.
The random side effects of the Mithril Dragon's 'greed for money' are the same as none for me, this black magic is simply my life.
And, perhaps because of the strong occult correlation between the otherworldly origins of Yucatan and dragons, I am now clearly more compatible with the power of the Golden Law.
It used to feel like there was a layer in between, but now it feels like I can breathe one with the legal network around me.
Every time the borders widen, every time the law node increases, the sense of control increases, and this taste is intoxicating. β
With a wave of her hand, countless golden numbers appeared around her, and danced, faintly turning into a brilliant divine sword above her head:
"Use gold as the edge of the sword, silver as the blade, credit as the spine, finance as the hilt, finance as the scabbard, and property as the counterweight.
Relying on the rules of the market to rule, using power, law and force to enforce them, 'investment' is a slash, 'consumption' is a stab, and 'export' is a cut.
No one can stop him from stabbing forward, holding up nothing high, and pressing the sword downwards to be invincible.
The gold and silver flowing in the territory are numbers, sword moves! β
Under the blade of this [supreme technique] that can kill the country, there is a three-dimensional map of the entire Yucatan.
Every time Catherine makes a move here, there are resources and manpower to echo it, and she takes one city-state after another under her control.
After half a year of foreshadowing by the "Father of Medicine" and the "Monopoly Authority", they have roughly established a faith and trade vein on the island of Yucatan.
At this time, at an astonishing speed, it sank and extended to one city-state after another, merging them into the network of the Golden Empire.
With each node lit on the border map, the two siblings could clearly feel the strength of the [Golden Law] around them.
"At the current rate, by the end of next year, we should be able to roughly acquire the island of Yucatan, which is 10 times the size of the Kingdom of Hattings.
A true Divine Golden Empire has been established. β
The eyes of both were full of irrepressible excitement.
In the past, it is not impossible to assimilate a little bit through economic colonization.
But there is a more effective and direct vertical rule model, or a group of devout believers who took the initiative to send it to their own hands, why not?
At the beginning, the reason why the Castilian colonization 1.0 model ushered in a backlash was not because they were too rough and too desperate to do things, and never treated the natives as human beings.
Naturally, hostility and hatred erupted.
Byron was different, as a member of the Lord of Heaven, he was welcomed into the natives' system by the believers.
Perhaps the so-called god personality is just an empty shelf.
But as long as the two empires combined with 500 city-states, tens of millions of people, and countless natural spirits are wiped out little by little, they will definitely be worthy of their name.
After Catherine settled in the center, she had already established a system at the first time, digested the territory she had built, and demarcated the level according to the population and strength of the city-state.
Under the royal capital, they are at the state level, city level, and town level.
Then a group of administrative officials were arranged to carry out the unified administrative system and the legal system that prevailed in the city-states.
Inventory of family funds, measurement of land, household registration
It just so happened that the Lancaster Party had a large number of well-educated and even experienced administrators, and it was a piece of cake to do such a thing.
Other aspects have not changed much for the time being, and the culture of mathematics, astronomy, architecture, art, and so on has all been preserved.
A lone branch is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring.
From the beginning to the end, Byron thought of the relationship between the two collective subconscious seas of the indigenous and the Old World, in which the catamarans anchored each other to enhance their stability.
Rather than having one of them annex the other, the Golden Empire must have a certain degree of independence.
Of course, the main reason is that he is only a small character on the Old Continent, and it doesn't count at all, so it is in his best interest.
In addition, one of the most important things in the decree that did not drastic reform was to open the way for all indigenous peoples to ascend, as was done in the Pirate Regiment!
Whoever makes a meritorious deed can awaken spirituality with the help of the city-state and become a true transcendent, instead of being qualified to achieve transcendence only by nobles as before.
This somewhat radical policy of "recruiting people" will certainly harm the interests of some vested interests, especially the interests of the upper nobility and shamans.
Even if you use the faith of the Lord of Heaven to oppress people, you can't completely eliminate it.
But Byron also offered the possibility of bringing many existing transcendents one step closer - the anchor quota of the [Golden Law].
Over time, the Golden Law, built around thirteen crystal skulls and a group of divinely only guardian spirits, will grow stronger.
In addition to the seventeen [Right Hand of the King] names, the other positions were also enough to provide a possibility for those third-order transcendents who had reached a critical point but did not dare to be promoted, providing a possibility to walk on two legs.
As long as Byron acknowledges and allows the anchor law network, they don't need to worry about stability anymore.
If you get the transcendent, you can get the whole city-state.
Now everyone from top to bottom is crazy.
"Our Lord is supreme!"
"Death to those who stand in the way!"
Now he Byron represents the fundamental interests of all indigenous transcendents, invincible and unstoppable.
With red dates in one hand and a stick in the other, the resistance of other indigenous city-states was not as strong as imagined.
Now, the colonies of all countries are watching the fire from the other side, thinking that this time the Glory War is still the same as before, and the bloody slaughter will return to the original state.
I didn't realize that a "Sacred Gold Empire" that was benchmarked against the Sacred Silver Empire had begun to take shape, gradually condensing the original bulk city-states into a new whole.
Byron looked at the little expanding territory, as well as the indigenous warriors who did not hesitate to die for the sake of their own hegemony, and his eyes burned:
"Why is it that the more primitive human society is, the easier it is to achieve that all people are soldiers?
A great man once said that civilize the spirit and barbarize the body.
This barbarism is the answer.
Lose your humanity, lose a lot, lose your bestiality, lose everything.
Man, who can be hypocritical, can be a virgin in his mouth, but in action, he must be a pragmatic barbarian.
Once you lose this barbarism, sooner or later you will lose everything.
As long as the material resources are not unlimited, and the space for survival must be exchanged for robbery, barbarism must be the last guarantee.
I'm a pirate who 'wins hard over hard work', but everybody is a pirate. β
The indigenous TaΓnos, who currently retain their savage habits, and the people of Northland Bay are among the best soldiers.
When he transforms these barbaric population resources into qualified workers, farmers, and soldiers, and then arms them with civilized weapons, they will be the most powerful wave of colonists.
"The most violent people make the rules, and that's the meta-rule of all rules!
The native population of Hattings is only eight million, and when I have mastered these thirteen million barbarians.
One day, my rules are rules. β
At this time, Catherine suddenly reminded him:
"Byron, the ridge tillage technique you taught the city-state is about to start to land."
