Chapter 889: Your God, I'm Not Here Today
Since crossing Tymar, the speed of the chariot regiments has also slowed down suddenly, as their roads have been blocked by a large number of war refugees.
A large part of them came from the city of Taimar, and some of them were slightly well-informed and thought that the Tucans were too terrible, and that the ferocity of this group of nomads was on full display in Twin Star Town, and they stayed here to hold on, just waiting for their death.
People with a little ability will flee from Temar with their families and flee to Tefram along the Golden Road, limited by their own cognition, they subconsciously think that Tefram, the capital of the Sesk Kingdom, has higher walls and more defenders, and should be able to protect their safety.
As everyone knows, they are now on the road that the Tukan people must pass through, but I am afraid that most of them will not be able to outrun the Tucan army at all, and it will not be long before they will become the new slaves of those Tucans.
A large number of people and vehicles, scattered along long roads, caused serious stagnation for the chariot corps.
On top of that, they couldn't afford to place traps and minefields in large numbers, because the war refugees would have destroyed most of the traps and caused a lot of accidental injuries before the Tucans could get ahead.
Gavin had already prepared for this, and sent a large number of propagandists in advance to spread the news that Tucan's army was about to be pursued by the war refugees along the way, so that they could deviate as much as possible from the golden road and flee into the wilderness of Sesk, where their chances of survival were far greater than now.
In order to dispel their concerns, a corps of the Chariot Corps began to break up one after another, guiding and leading these war refugees into the wilderness.
Many of the war refugees were not unaware of the dangers of the Golden Route, but for many of them, the wilderness was just as threatening, and the monsters that roamed there were only as ferocious as the Tucans.
At least the Tucans wouldn't have the idea of beating their corpses as a last resort, but there was no shortage of victims in the hanging pots of those monster tribes.
The only thing Gavin didn't expect was that the Tucan army had spent a lot of time and effort besieging the city of Temar.
More precisely, it was Yamen Khan who completed the siege alone.
The overwhelming blood mist directly shrouded the sky above Taimar City, and the terrifying and bloody aura made the citizens who had not fled the city breathless.
The terrifying and cold voice of the Khan of Yamen rang in the ears of every citizen of Taimar, "I will give you ten minutes to consider, you have two choices, one is to destroy all the gods in the city, turn your back on the gods who no longer shelter you, murder a man in my name, and sacrifice your faith.
The other is that my soldiers will rush into the city and turn you into corpses, in a different way of paying allegiance to me. ”
The Lake Assen sniper battle also had a huge effect on the Tucan army, as the Khan of Yamen absorbed a huge amount of new killing power.
If it is said that he originally retained the thinking mode of five adults, at least in the treatment of the Tucans, he still maintained a fairly high level of rationality, and many decisions were very biased towards the Tucans.
So now, he has less than thirty percent of his remaining human thinking, and in his eyes, everyone is an ant, a tool to achieve a goal.
The biggest change in this perception was that the Khan of Yamen no longer restrained the use of killing power as he had before.
His killing power is different from Gavin's path divine power, which was not created by his own power, but was obtained by devouring the fragments of the godhead of the former Lord of Murder.
Although this allowed him to gain a lot of strength in a short period of time, it also left a huge hidden danger.
Part of the divine consciousness of the former God of Killing is still dormant in the fragments of Godhead, and he will use more and more killing power to nourish himself, subtly transforming and influencing Yamen Khan.
When his words and deeds began to converge infinitely with Baal, was he the Khan of Yamen? Or is it the reborn Barr?
I'm afraid he can't even say it clearly.
He is not the only one in this situation.
Faeron's goddess of magic has changed twice, but there are still people who firmly believe that the goddess of magic has never changed, and is still the first Mithriel, whether it is the second Mistra or now the third Midnight, it is just a new identity for Mithriel for himself.
When a terrifying being with the embodiment of divinity no longer cares about using his own power, the power is absolutely beyond imagination, and this is vividly displayed in the city of Taimar.
"Hear the prayers of your faithful Lord, Lord, and give us the strength to fight evil, and we will firmly uphold your sanctity and will never give in to the forces of evil, who can kill us, but who cannot bring us to our knees, much less desecrate our souls."
"Great Mother, please give us wisdom to guide us and show us the way forward, and we will never turn our backs on our faith."
"Lord of Shadows, I will bless your name in the night, and I will become your shadow servant, slaying down your enemies and not allowing them to succeed in their schemes."
"Ah...... What are you doing? Are you crazy? I am the priest of the just, and if you dare to assassinate the servant of the just, you will be damned......"
"Their minds are lost, lost in killing and rage, and they have become servants of the gods."
"Haha...... Where is your God? Why haven't they reacted at all until now? Hahaha...... Abandon your useless prayers and resistance, and take refuge in the arms of the Lord of Slaughter, where Jamen awaits you, Jamen embraces you, and no one escapes the arms of Jamen......"
"Jamen awaits you, Jamen embraces you, and no one can escape Jamen's embrace...... Enter the arms of Yamen now! Ha ha...... Your God, if you are not here today, you will not be able to escape! ”
Those who are devout try to use their faith against the temptation to kill from the Khan of Yamen.
But many ordinary people can't resist the lurking desire to kill, especially those murderers and murderers who lurk in the crowd, this impulse is even more stimulated to the extreme, chanting the name of Yamen Khan, while not hesitating to attack the people around them, even if these people were once their relatives and friends.
To the despair of the devout pastors, the statue of the god they prayed for was lit up with a dazzling light.
It's just that it's not the divine light of their gods that respond to their prayers, but the blinding blood-colored light, exuding a strong smell of rage and blood, which is constantly impacting their minds, as if they are silently mocking them, their gods, are not here, at least not here today.
There is only one true god here, and that is Yamen Khan, the murder lord who looms over the city.
If you want to live, you must either sacrifice your faith to him or become a victim of murder.
"No, no, no, I am faithful, I am the priest of Mother Earth God, my soul belongs to Mother Earth God, I will be reborn in the garden of the Great Mother, I will be the one who invokes there, you have no right to dispose of my soul, you are blaspheming, you are stealing, stealing the soul that belongs to Mother Earth Goddess, Mother Earth Goddess will never condone your evil deeds...... Not ......"
"Haha...... As I have already said, your God is not here today, and your souls will not go anywhere but into the bosom of Jamen...... Ha ha...... Tremble, weep, despair......"
"No ......"
What made these priests and priests collapse in despair the most was that the souls of those murdered companions did not go to the kingdom of God where they believed in the gods, nor did they go to the Fallen Shadow Underworld to wait for the divine envoys to take them, but they were directly grabbed by a bloody and violent force and dragged into the blood cloud.
The reason why these pastors are more fearless of death than ordinary people is because they firmly believe that after their death, their souls will return to their gods, and they will be reborn in the kingdom of God, and they will become the supplicants there, and they can enjoy endless peace and prosperity.
When they found that they were most relied on by means, and were ruthlessly torn apart by Yamen Khan, their despair and hysteria erupted far above ordinary people.
The priests of good gods such as Tyr, the god of justice, and Cetia, the mother earth goddess, were, at best, like ordinary people who were in a hurry, hiding themselves in the most secret places, watching everyone around them vigilantly.
Because they could be overwhelmed by the evil and fury in their hearts at any time, they would become the tools of murder in the hands of the Khan of Yamen, and they themselves would become poor murder victims.
But followers of evil gods such as Musk, the Lord of Shadows, Lavita, the Maiden of Pain, and Talona, the Lady of the Blight, soon responded to the evil call of the Khan of Yamen.
The former's mind is corrupted by shadow forces, and is itself inclined to evil bloodlust, and is more susceptible to this emotion.
The latter is that the two ladies themselves are the slaves of the murder lord Bar, and Barr has just been a god for a few years, and his influence still remains in the world, when Yamen Khan appeared with a killing power like a substance, it was natural to take it as a sign of his rise again, and to respond to the call again, as a matter of course.
This evil cult really reached its peak, a tall man with a terrifying aura all over his body, who appeared in the central square of Taimar City, wearing a dark purple sacrificial robe, a hooded turban on his head, embroidered with purple stripes, both the hood and the inner lining of his clothes were dark black, forming a rich shadow, and his face could not be seen from the outside at all, as if it was empty.
But many people involuntarily landed on his wide scarlet belt, on which was pinned a delicate curved ritual dagger, and the handle was carved with a blood-soaked skull, which was the holy emblem of the Lord of Murder, Baal.
The tall man said in a low, hoarse voice: "I am Archbishop Umrant Surgid, Lord of the Tower of Rapid Death, God of Murder, and I declare to the world as the First Archbishop that my Lord has returned to this land, and he has a new name, which is Jamen, and you need to fear him as you fear Baal, and serve him as you serve Baal."
Only by having a deep fear of Him and offering Him faith and gold will you be able to ignore the Lord of Murder today, and let you survive in this world.
The time has come, and all those who do not offer their faith and devotion to Jamen should die. ”
With a heavy wave of his hand, countless sturdy figures jumped out of the darkness and launched a frenzied killing.
They are professional compared to the citizens who are temporarily influenced, because they themselves are carefully cultivated killers by the bishop priest of Baal, the Lord of Murder, who call themselves killers, and outsiders call them death mongers, because they sell murder and death, and they will be more than willing to pay a high price for those who will murder their competitors or enemies.
No matter how big the momentum of Yamen Khan's original work was, he was stealing divine power as a mortal, and he could only collect power on his own little by little.
Now there is an archbishop with a powerful murder god who has helped Yamen Khan to correct his name, officially linking him to the previous murder lord Baal, and some people are forced to admit this identity.
Yamen Khan was able to take over Baal's inheritance in the Faren Continent in a righteous manner, and in the dark, countless powers of faith began to transfer to him one after another, making his control over the power of killing even better.
Looking at Taimar from a distance, Gavin couldn't help but sigh and said: "Taimar is finished, Yamen Khan is completely crazy, from now on, this war is no longer a mortal war, but a divine war."
From now on, the charioteers rushed to Tevram at full speed to carry out the second plan, which was to evacuate the military supplies there to the city of Usmail as much as possible. ”
As a user of divine power, Gavin knew it all too well.
There is only a difference between the use of divine power and countless times, even if you know that there is a huge risk in it, there is no way to endure it, because the convenience brought by divine power is far from being comparable to ordinary power.
The souls he plundered with the war marauders were only about 100,000, and even with the help of the strategy lady to balance the suppression, it began to have a negative effect.
Not to mention that Yamen Khan has absorbed and stolen more than a million souls, and the side effects are only far above himself, and it is difficult to continue to suppress them.
When the Khan of Yamen begins to use his killing powers at all costs, they will be of little use, because no one knows what crazy decisions he will make in the next moment.
Not to mention that Tefram will not be able to hold it, even if King Ahsan leads the Feron coalition army to land, it is still unknown whether he can resist the Tucan army of Yamen Khan!
After all, in the previous life, until the end, Yamen Khan maintained the most basic sanity and did not let the killing godhead devour him.
In this life, I'm afraid it's hard to ensure this anymore.
"If you want a person to perish, you must first make a person crazy, he may be able to run rampant for a while, but he will definitely not go too far, because he provokes the anger of the people, even if the gods do not personally descend the incarnation of divinity, they will send their own devout disciples, and even divine envoys to war." The Earth Spirit Witch gloated.
She really knows too well the urine nature of the gods of Faeron, and to move their faith is to move their lifeline.
In secular warfare, the churches and monasteries of the gods were often the refuge of the war refugees, and as long as they fled into these sacred places, many soldiers would voluntarily lay down their weapons and no longer pursue, unless those churches and monasteries were hostile to the gods, or the two sides were engaged in a battle of faith in itself, in order to fight for the right to belong to the faith.
But they will only target the church of one god, and they will not provoke any other god.
It is rare for a group attack like Yamen Khan to provoke a group like this now.
The madness of Yamen Khan was far beyond Gavin's imagination, and after Temar was just the beginning, he once again announced the return of the God of Murder to the world, it was like a new door was opened, and he controlled not only the power of killing, but even began to dabble in the realm of undeath.
Baal, Mirkor, and Bane were originally called the Three Gods of Death, both in terms of their ability to bring death to people, but also because they were the masters of the realm of death, including the control of death.
The prey that was murdered and sacrificed in Temar was all transformed into various undead creatures by him, forming their vanguard army, and began to march towards Tefram in a mighty way.
And this is just the beginning, all the creatures along the way have joined the ranks of this undead army, including the original old, weak, sick and disabled slave army, which has also been transformed into undead spirits one after another.
The benefits of this are obvious, the undead will not betray, and the Tucans will not have to focus on supervising the slave soldiers.
At the same time, it can also save a large amount of food rations, which originally provided more than 380,000 people to 250,000 people, which directly delayed their food crisis for five or six days.
Moreover, their marching speed has increased greatly, those living people have completely eliminated the infantry and all of them have been transformed into cavalry, and those immortal spirits, although they are mainly infantry, but they are not afraid of the cold winter sun, and can march 24 hours a day, and the speed is only faster than the cavalry.
