Chapter 594: Harvesting Faith
Time passed slowly in an almost cohesive atmosphere, and after ten minutes, a group of Wuli warriors drove a few richly dressed women and children to the Hall of Prosperity with swords and spears, the youngest of whom were two children still wearing silk pajamas and barefoot.
"Do you dare to say those words just now, it turns out that the family is sparsely populated and is about to collapse. Looking at a few children who saw the old man running in horror and snuggling up to him, Zhang Lisheng said with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, soon everything will be fine..."The old man kindly rubbed the heads of his children and grandchildren, and his hoarse but gentle voice seemed to touch people's hearts, so that the children were no longer frightened, and a lovely smile of comfort appeared on their faces.
But when the old man slowly looked up at Zhang Lisheng, his voice became strong and decisive, "It is true that fate does not favor the Idophine family, so that all my children have died on the trade route, but this is not the reason why I dare to resist you."
Even if 'Idophine' is still the top tycoon of Heinhemann, in the face of the evil invasion of the barbarians, I will only shout four words, never give in, and I am willing to pay any price for making this cry!"
"Good. Looking directly at the old man's stubborn and resolute face, Zhang Lisheng was silent for a moment and nodded and squeezed out two words in his teeth, and then he looked around and pointed to a young man with the most passionate expression and said coldly: "Give him a knife, let him cut off the head of any child next to that heretic at will, and kill him if he doesn't want to." ”
"Yes, great deity. "One of the Wuli warriors who drove away the women and children, a leader with three conspicuous feathers on his head jumped off his 'companion' and strode in front of the young man. He took out the war knife at his waist and stuffed it into the man's trembling hand, pointed to the child beside the old man, made a murderous neck-cutting motion, and said stiffly in land: "He dies, or you." ”
Mu Ran looked at the sharp war knife in his hand, and then looked at the child who sucked his finger in his mouth, the man's body gradually trembled, his face turned red, and he suddenly roared, "You savage devils..." Swing your sword and slash at the wolf-headed monster in front of you. But Wu Li warrior easily tore off his neck.
Not far away, watching the man's head and half of his spine being pulled out of his body in a miserable way, the fierce and brutal character of the god Wu Li was completely aroused, and he coldly ordered with one finger on the left and right: "Give the war knife to these landers, and let them kill the heretic and his family."
If they don't want to. and cut off their heads. The corpses were tied to wooden frames and erected in the streets of Heinheimmann City. Let all the landers in the city understand who is now in charge of their destiny. ”
"Yes, great knight. "No matter how brutal the young people give their orders. The pious warriors would never raise objections, but would respectfully obey their orders, and soon several new 'executioners' were chosen.
The executioners included men and women, aged and young, but they were all shaking with swords in their hands, and after a while, they were killed by the Wuli warriors because they did not want to kill others.
"Your Excellency, you have the strength to destroy a country and the wisdom to glorify a race, and you should understand that persecuting prisoners of war to kill children and old people will only reap hatred, hatred, and fear..."
"Sir Johnson, I'm not here to please others and pray for your love, in fact, before invading the 'Green Leaf Continent', I have already figured out what I want to gain and what I can gain," Wu Li Shen only turned his head to look at Johnson and coldly interrupted him, "The first is obedience, and the second is fear.
If the conquered landers obey me, then I will love them as I love the Wuli people, and give them the progress of civilization, the improvement of their lives, and a life of peace and joy more than before.
If they are unwilling to obey me, then I can only choose to make them fearful, and fear them with the death of a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand, a hundred thousand, a million, ten million, ten million of their companions, until this fear accumulates to the extreme, so that the survivors feel that it is all because of my gift that they can live, and finally willingly turn their fear into obedience..."
Zhang Lisheng's words without a trace of warmth resounded throughout the rich hall with a series of killings, making the hearts of the decent people of 'Heinheimman' who had just been incited instantly freeze.
Finally, after the seventh round of executioners was chosen, an emaciated teenager covered in alcohol broke down and rushed to the old man who was trying to cover the eyes of his children and grandchildren, and after the first executioner, the Idophine family was soon wiped out in the hall.
When the dust settled, looking at the pool of blood, Zhang Lisheng smiled at the chief knight, "Look, my idea is very correct, isn't it?"
Looking at the smile of the black-haired young man next to him, Johnson felt a horror deep into his bone marrow for the first time in his life, this fear did not come from the difference in strength between the two sides, but from the unprecedented cruelty and arrogance revealed by the other party's understatement.
Not daring to continue to raise objections, let alone go against his conscience to cater to the brutality of the black-haired youth, the chief of the great knight bowed deeply and silently stepped aside.
"It seems that this method is really effective, otherwise you wouldn't have chosen to be silent. Zhang Lisheng shrugged as he looked at Johnson in the silent rich hall where there were only a thousand surviving landers in the rough breathing, and turned his gaze to Yaji, "Yaji, after considering a 'little episode', I think you should be able to answer my question right away."
Tell me, will you obey my will forever?"
After a long silence, the businesswoman's dull face showed a look of fear and struggle, and her voice was dry and hoarse, and she said, "I can't answer you right now, Your Excellency. ”
It's not the answer I would most like to hear, but it's not the worst answer either. Zhang Lisheng nodded and looked around and said loudly: "Gentlemen and ladies of Heinheimman City, from now on, all your wealth and land will be confiscated, and your nobility will also be abolished.
Tomorrow there will be landers who are willing to believe in me to inherit your power. Govern Heinheiman and you will survive like the poorest people in the city, clearing the ruins and cultivating the fields for food.
Of course, if anyone comes to his senses and is willing to prostrate himself at my feet to offer his piety, then I guarantee that he will be richer and happier than he was before. Then strolled out of the hall.
As he was about to leave the Hall of Plenty, the young man suddenly stood still, turned around and said, "Remember." What I just said was not my plea. It's your chance...", only then did Shi Shiran jump lightly, condensing a huge throne full of water and crystal clear in the void. Flew into the air.
In the days that followed, the plague of barbarians raged on the mainland.
Soon, Zhang Lisheng learned that a Xiongcheng like the deputy capital of the Cathaman city-state with a magic circle and an alchemy tower was actually very rare. With the help of the powerful transportation and combat capabilities of biological warfare ships. The Wuli expeditionary army continued to advance, and in a few days it defeated the city-state of Cataman, the principality of Femanche, the Second Republic of Hano... and more than a dozen countries of different sizes annexed.
In this way, the thick and long-leaf stalks, which occupy about one-fifth of the area of the entire Green Leaf Continent, were pocketed by 'Wu Li'.
After that, when the great powers of the continent finally reacted. However, the Wuli people stopped their conquest and began to drive millions of captured land-man warriors to build magnificent fortifications on the border between Yasin and France, which were the only borders on the mainland's 'Ye Terrier' and 'Ye Body'.
At the same time, the Wuli people began to brutally dismantle cities, fortresses, and temples in their already vast 'continental occupations', and the materials obtained were miraculously and quickly built into a simple but magnificent temple with the breath of ancient witchcraft by barbarian craftsmen using all kinds of magical mechanical tools.
If the surviving landers want to keep their heads, they must gather in the temple at dawn every day to bow down and pray to the demon god who is enshrined as a human and a snake on the bottom.
And before they speak in public, they must use their fingers to draw an 'L' on their chests and chant 'Wu Li is on top' before they can speak, otherwise they may be whipped with leather whips by the patrolling Wu Li warriors, so it is not impossible to die.
For the nobles of the cities of Catamane and Femanche, whose homeland was destroyed and their noble status, property, and territory were taken away, such a terrible day was like being in purgatory.
But for many of the poor ordinary people who originally lived at the bottom of society, and even the lower serfs, although the barbarian occupation army had a hideous and terrible face, and would kill people at every turn in the slightest resistance, there was no other restraint after such early morning prayers, and they could rest for one day every seven days, and it was said that the days when the land was immediately measured and distributed equally to each peasant without compensation were much more nourishing than before.
In the early morning of this day, the cracks in the earth's crust have been filled in, and the ruins have been cleaned up in Heinheimman, Zhang Lisheng is wearing a simple brown robe and walking on the slightly foggy stone road, strolling along with the long flow of people to the former rich hall in the center of the city, and the current 'Wuli Temple'.
"Charlotte, the power of faith I can feel today has increased a little more than yesterday," and taking a deep breath of the slightly cold and salty air, the young man whispered to an old man beside him who also covered his head with a brown head-covering robe, "Do you know what this means?"
"Of course, you know that this means that you have already begun to harvest faith in the Green Leaf Continent," the former navigator who was forced to become a minion of the Wuli God and manage the central city-states of 'Heinheimman' replied with mixed feelings, "But have you ever thought about what price you paid to obtain these beliefs?" (To be continued......
PS: This chapter is very difficult to write
Once because Comrade Li Sheng was too brutal to instruct believers to eat people, Pig Pig lost the opportunity to publish the entity, but this time, when this character was originally set, Comrade Li Sheng had such a murderous disposition in his bones, and the 'taste' of writing was gone!!!!!
I can only ask the big people who don't appreciate it to make do with it.,The next book Pig Pig must write a pig's foot with three views.,I'm sorry.
