Chapter 612: Gifts and Unwillingness
The young man who fell to his knees heard Wu Li's meaningful question, and a thousand thoughts rose in his heart.
When the royal city was destroyed by the Atandines a few years ago, the face of his father, who forced him to change into a slave costume, was a mixture of intense despair, grief, unwillingness, and self-reproach, which may only be found by the king of a dead country;
Even if he was rounded up and sold as a slave by the hateful alien rebels, Hobie, who was always by his side, seemed to always have hopeful eyes;
The greedy faces of the slave traders when their emaciated companions were stabbed in the throats by barbarian warriors after being pulled down by slave ships and pulled down by slave ships;
After the Wu Li Expeditionary Force raided the Green Leaf Continent and gained a foothold, he worked hard to become a papal knight, and ventured to meet the Wu Li god when he borrowed troops to return to the country, the god's inexplicable smile;
When you climb aboard a giant beast like a city, lead tens of thousands of soldiers to cross thousands of miles to return to the place where their ancestors lived, and capture the first oasis in the remote corner of the Xiongqi Desert, the persecuted compatriots who have been persecuted by foreign races cheered and shouted in ecstasy, worship... The most memorable scenes of his life flashed in his mind, and Yi Gang was silent for a moment, and replied in a dry voice: "Great god."
I have come to offer you the devout faith of thousands of sand people, and to ask you to take over all the oases that I have restored in the mortal Curia. ”
Hearing that Yi Gang came to see him in disguise, the purpose was to take the initiative to give up his rights, and the expression on Zhang Lisheng's face suddenly changed subtly.
After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Knight Yigang. With 50,000 religious knights, you launched a revenge war against the Atandins in the Xiongqi Desert, and in a short period of time, you won the support of millions of sandmen, shook the Atandine royal court, tied the hands and feet of the Atantins, and made them unable to join the continental alliance.
However, it is impossible for the theocratic world realm I created to retain the lord and aristocratic class, so it is absolutely impossible for you to restore the kingdom.
However, as a god known for his generosity, I am not stingy with the devotees of the Great. and give thee the status of chief priest. In the future, make the Xiongqi Desert your parish. ”
The Wuli faith is a fusion of theocracy and government in the land shrouded in power, and a chief priest who presides over a large diocese comparable to the kingdom is almost as powerful as the old king, although the status is not hereditary. But the priest of Wuli couldn't help but get married. Private property can also be kept. It is not difficult for a person of high status to protect his descendants, and it is not a harsh treatment for his merits.
However, as an ambitious king, he has sharpened his amazing brilliance in a short period of time in the battle of life and death. Yi Gang couldn't feel balanced in his heart, but the situation at this moment was completely different from a few months ago, even idiots knew that it was only a matter of time before the Wu Li faith enveloped the entire continent, and those who blocked it would be crushed, and he could only submit.
"Thank you for your gifts and generosity, great deity. "Contrary to his wishes, he followed the advice of his staff and sold himself early for a good price, and the king of the sandmen could only pretend to be happy and shout thanks.
Seeing the unwillingness in Yi Gang's eyes full of joy, Zhang Lisheng didn't care too much, truly outstanding monarchs and wise men often don't superstitious about other existences other than themselves, and young people naturally don't force it.
Smiling to himself, he commanded the servants beside him, "Summons Sharuno, Dupanzi, Sulu Shasha... The nine legion commanders led their subordinates to accompany the chief priest of Yigang back to the Xiongqi Desert in armed airships and launched a strong attack behind enemy lines.
The rest of the legions fought on all frontal fronts, making sure that the Atandins could not be able to take care of the tail and defeat them in one fell swoop. ”
"Yes, great god. The native servants bowed their heads and retreated, and then Yi Gang also left the tent respectfully.
Looking at his disappearing back, Zhang Lisheng muttered to himself, "I hope you won't turn your unwillingness into action...", stood up and waved his hand, condensing a thick fog to hide his figure, and when he reappeared, he was already in a ship pod that looked indistinguishable from an ordinary public transport airship.
A few minutes later, the airship slowly rose into the air, disappeared into the sea of clouds, and soon disappeared without a trace...
The heat of September is gradually dissipating, and it is located in the plain region with four distinct seasons, and the city of Lango, which was originally part of the capital province of the French kingdom, is already in the pleasant weather of autumn.
Because when the Wuli army occupied 'Fran', except for a few medium-sized battles in the frontier area, the kingdom that fell into the civil war was almost bloodless, and most of the cities were not damaged by the army at all, so this huge industrial city built in the mining area was missing the surrounding walls;
Aside from the addition of a magnificent, eerie temple, not much has changed from the era of kingship.
The airship station on the outskirts of Lango City is crowded early in the morning with merchants dealing in seasonal goods and travelers who plan to travel far away.
After Wu Li theocracy replaced the secular regime to rule the mainland, in addition to rebuilding temples, the most important government was to improve transportation, spacious cement avenues and railways were connected, and airships could be seen in the sky from time to time.
At first, the landers did not understand why they were so keen to build roads and all kinds of post stations for the gods they had conquered, but they soon found that as the time to cross the green leaf continent in the east and west changed from ten months to ten days, the area of the entire continent seemed to shrink a lot, and naturally gave people a sense of integration.
In addition to the powerful people who really held great power and food in the past, many decent people who were the backbone of the society in the old era have broadened their horizons, and slowly feel that the opportunities around them have not decreased, but have become more and more.
Gradually, some wise people realized that the idea of the god Wu Li was completely different from those powerful gods in ancient history who ruled the world with divine power, and he did not intend to fool mortals, imprison the wisdom of the people, and cultivate hundreds of millions of ignorant believers who would only worship him and not know anything.
On the contrary, he actively disseminated knowledge, opened up the wisdom of the people, and made the world appreciate his benevolence and kindness, and then compared with his cruel punishment methods for heresy, so that believers subtly became more and more pious in gratitude and fear.
This practice of the god Wu Li made the very few terrestrial wise people with different intentions more and more desperate, because although the brutal suppression of the common people could have the effect of purging heresies for a while, it would inevitably lead to chaos in the long run;
But a richer and happier life than the old era will make the vast majority of the people slowly forget hatred, so that the soil for the survival of heresy will naturally continue to decrease, and at the end of the day, it will disappear completely, and this is Zhang Lisheng's confidence that he can dominate the Gaia world.
"It seems that the order in the hinterland of the Green Leaf Continent has become more and more stable, so maybe next spring I can recruit a large army from the landers and expedition to other continents.
Well, until then, maybe I should go back to Earth...", looking down at the noisy crowd from the window of the slowly descending airship corridor, the young man muttered slightly smugly.
As he spoke, the pod fell to the ground suddenly, and a young woman in a blue uniform dressed as an airship attendant walked up behind Zhang Lisheng lightly and said softly: "My lord, Lan Ge City has arrived." ”
"Thank you. The young man nodded and thanked him like an ordinary person, walked towards the hatch, and when he came to the door, he suddenly stood up and whispered, "Don't forget to bring guests with you when you leave, and the disguise must be perfect." Then, without waiting for anyone else to answer, he quickly stepped on the stairs and walked to the ground.
Under the rising sun, a cool breeze blew through the silk turban that wrapped the young man's black hair, causing the two ribbons behind his head to dance with the wind, and the whole person looked quite bohemian.
Several coachmen who were waiting for the guests in a hurry saw that only a young man dressed strangely dressed but of excellent material walked out of the landing airship, his eyes lit up, and he ran over in unison, shouting in a hurry: "Young master, do you need to rent a carriage, the seats of my car have been specially replaced, and they are spacious and comfortable...";
"Guest, at first glance, you are an artist, are you going to paint in the old mining area of Lange City, where I know you best...";
"Sir, it is your wisest choice to hire my carriage, I used to drive for the nobleman of the realm, Sir Conneway..."
Zhang Lisheng ignored the noise of the crowd, looked at the carriages parked not far away and set aside in the area for renting carriages, pointed to the cleanest livestock fur brushes that pulled the carriages, and the cars with outdated paint but were also clean and abnormal, and asked, "Who is the third carriage on the right?"
"I, sir, that's my carriage. A young man with an extremely immature face squinted a few glances at his peers on both sides and said triumphantly.
"Do you know how to walk on Jinxishi Road?"
"Of course, Mr. Zhilu Dao, the thirty-five avenues of Lange City are all in my head. Without the slightest hesitation, the boy replied, pointing to his head.
"Very well, I'll rent your car. Zhang Lisheng nodded with satisfaction, took out a gold coin from his pocket and flicked it to the young coachman, and strode towards the taxi carriage he had chosen.
As soon as the guests left, the coachmen, who had not won the business, looked at the shiny coins that had been grabbed by the young man, and sighed and dispersed, and continued to wait for the next landing airship, while the young coachman followed the god Wu Li proudly and walked back to his carriage.
"Sir, what time do you want to go to Jin Xishi Road?" the young man asked earnestly as he took the position of the emperor first.
"Go to No. 29 Jin Xishi Road. Zhang Lisheng reported the address, and while boarding the carriage, he asked casually: "Do you know the place of Lu Dao?" (to be continued......)
