Of the billions of people in the Holy Continent, the Sun God Kingdom accounts for more than a billion.
One is as good as two or three in other divine kingdoms.
After confirming the acceptance of these empires and principalities, Nalant was ready to send people to contact the kings of the principalities and empires.
However, he has not yet waited for his men to be dispatched.
The kings of the empires and principalities rushed to Stormwind City as soon as they got the news.
"Sir, a huge team came outside the castle. They said they were the kings of the principalities and empires who were preparing to join Stormwind City."
In the early morning of this morning, Nalant had just finished breakfast, but Quick quickly ran in to report.
"Oh, have the kings come here on their own initiative? That's good. Please invite them in."
"Remember to ask Butler Thomas to greet guests in the same way as he would welcome guests!"
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving the order, Quick immediately rushed to notify Thomas.
In just over ten minutes, Thomas rolled out the red carpet in the vestibule, and Narant also came to the vestibule to wait.
It didn't take long for more than a dozen kings, led by their servants, to walk on the red carpet into the vestibule.
"Meet Baron Narante!"
"Meet Baron Narante!"
After seeing Narant, all the kings showed no pretense and saluted and greeted Narant one after another.
Not to mention that we have now lost the Sun God Kingdom as our backer.
Even if it wasn't for this reason, Nalant's strength alone was enough for them kings to respect Nalant.
After all, after the Kingdom of the Sun was driven away, they originally thought that they and others would be divided among the kingdoms of gods.
But the last news they got was to hand them over to Stormwind City.
From here, it can be seen that Stormwind City's status is now equal to that of other kingdoms of gods.
Even some kingdoms of gods are trying to please Nalant.
Otherwise, who would be willing to transfer so many people to Narant.
"You are welcome, kings, and you are welcome to come to my Stormwind City as a guest!"
Narant was also kind.
After all, these principalities and empires had just separated from the Kingdom of the Sun.
But it doesn't mean that they are the lackeys of the Sun God Kingdom.
In the future, as long as they contribute their faith to Narant, Narant will definitely get along well with them.
Later, at Nalant's invitation, a group of kings followed him into the living room.
After the servants brought fruits, cakes and other delicacies.
These kings only had a brief taste and then immediately got down to business.
Because they are now uncertain about the future of their principalities and empires, they are naturally not in the mood to really eat and drink.
"Baron Nalant, we took the liberty to come here this time because we heard that our empire and principality rely on you, Baron Nalant."
"Under such circumstances, we would like to consult Baron Nalant on how we should manage the principality and empire next."
"Is there anything you need us to do?"
Nalant is also a person who likes to be straightforward. When he saw a group of kings taking the initiative to mention it, he immediately smiled and spoke.
"Well, since the kings asked about it, I just want to tell you what I need your cooperation for next!"
"Actually, there will be roughly no difference between taking over by me and taking over by the Kingdom of the Sun, because I also need to build temples in your principality and empire to promote the faith of the gods!"
"Promoting the belief in gods, is it the god of glory? If so, Baron Nalant, we have no problem, but we are very willing!"
When the kings heard this, they felt that the temple built by Narant could only be the temple of the God of Glory.
After all, Nalantko and the five principalities were unable to join other divine kingdoms because they were unwilling to change their belief in the God of Glory!
"There is indeed a temple of the God of Glory, but in addition to this one, I also need to build a second temple in each of the noble territories of your principalities and empires." Nalant smiled and nodded.
"Is there a second temple?" The kings were a little puzzled.
"That's right, while building the temple of the God of Glory, we will also build a temple of Lord Bone Dragon Knight next to it."
"The temple of Lord Bone Dragon Knight? But Baron Nalant, which god should we let the common people and serfs believe in then?"
The kings didn't have much of an opinion.
And the Bone Dragon Knights naturally knew it too.
There was a big commotion in the Holy City back then.
Since Narante said it should be built, then build it.
With his relationship with the Kingdom of God, the Kingdom of God will not cause trouble to them when it is being built.
But the two gods have to ask clearly how to distribute their followers.
"You don't have to worry about this, because I have tested it and believers can believe in two gods at the same time."
"At that time, as long as you are pious enough, you won't have to worry about the power of faith!"
The kings did not expect such a statement.
However, whatever Narante says, they do.
"Baron Nalant, then we will start building the temple of the God of Glory and Lord Bone Dragon Knight immediately after we return!"
"Well, very good. When you are building temples, one of them can use the temple of the sun god. You just need to change the statue of the god!"
"This can also save your principality and empire a lot of costs!"
Narant gave a very heart-warming reminder.
What he cares about is the power of faith, and he doesn't care about those vain things.
Therefore, it is possible to modify it from the original temple of the Sun God.
Moreover, the Temple of the Sun God was completed under the supervision of the clergy of the Kingdom of the Sun God.
The scale is absolutely extraordinary.
"Yes, Baron Nalant!" All the kings immediately showed their gratitude.
Nalant's words could save their principality and empire hundreds of thousands of gold coins.
"Well, in addition, did you need to pay 50% of the tax to the Sun God Kingdom every year?"
"Yes, Baron Nalant!" All the kings nodded immediately.
Half of the taxes they collect every year need to be given to the Kingdom of the Sun God.
Even the nobles under their command are like this.
"Well, let's do this. From now on, you only need to pay 30% of the tax!"
Nalant nodded and lost 20% of it.
This is also calculated based on the taxes of the small nobles in Glory Continent.
Although the tax revenue is reduced by 20%, it affects more than one billion people.
So 30% tax is definitely not a small amount.
As for not accepting it at all, that is impossible.
Other divine kingdoms collect taxes, and if I don't collect them, I will be breaking the rules.
And since these divine kingdoms have joined Stormwind City, I will also provide them with shelter in the future.
Naturally this cannot be free.
It can’t be free, and it can’t charge too much.
If you collect too much, given the virtue of the nobles, the pressure will eventually be transferred to the serfs.
This will also affect the absorption of the power of faith.
That's why it's been so many years.
There are still many people in these principalities and empires who have not yet devoutly believed in the God of the Sun.
"Thanks to Baron Nalant for his kindness, we will announce this good news to the whole country when we return!"
"I believe all nobles and serfs will be happy because of your kindness!"
When they heard that Nalant had actually reduced taxes, all the kings immediately became excited.
I was originally worried whether Narant would increase taxes.
But now it seems that they have thought too much.
"Haha, kings, tell the nobles and serfs when you go back."
"This is not the mercy of me, Nalant, but the mercy of the God of Glory and Lord Bone Dragon Knight."
"So, I hope they will not let down the God of Glory and Lord Bone Dragon Knight."
"In this way, the principalities and empires of our Holy Continent will become better and better in the future!"
After a discussion, both parties were very satisfied.
Narante achieved his goal.
All the kings got rid of the worries in their hearts.
Some kings even called Nalant lucky because of his good talk.
After having a good day in Stormwind City, all the kings quickly returned to their respective principalities and empires.
Then quickly began to lay out Narant's explanation.
Of course, they also consulted Nalant's opinion, and each country would send a team to station in Nalant.
Contact Narant easily.
The next days passed like this day by day.
The battle on the Divine Kingdom side of Io Continent is still going on.
Both the Allied Forces of the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of the Sun are fighting with all their might.
Therefore, the initial occupation seems to be a bit stalemate.
Of course, in Nalant's view, it is only a matter of time before the Kingdom of the Sun is defeated.
Even now, the Sun God Kingdom does have the ability to face group fights.
But when it comes to a protracted war, it is definitely the Kingdom of God's coalition forces with greater numbers and strength that have greater potential.
Therefore, as long as there are no big changes in the Kingdom of God, he can develop his own power with peace of mind.
Just like that, time quickly came to half a year later.
"I can harvest one hundred thousand rays of faith power in one day, which is equivalent to me being able to explode ten sky knights in one day?"
At noon that day, Nalant suddenly felt a large force of faith gathering towards him.
Obviously, the power of faith of the principalities and empires began to activate.
Just three months ago, these principalities and empires sent people to report to him.
It is said that the temples of the two gods were completely completed due to their accelerated work.
After getting the news, Nalant immediately used his divine power to cultivate thousands of medical girls.
These girls are all selected from the children of the indigenous people in the territory, so they are very reliable even if they are released outside.
And as they were assigned to a number of temples in principalities and empires, they could naturally replace the original priests of the Kingdom of the Sun.
In fact, because Nalant reduced taxes by 20%, the nobles and serfs of the principalities and empires have long had goodwill towards the two gods.
Therefore, about a month after the temple was built, Nalant began to feel the increase in divine power.
Especially today, Nalant felt that the power of faith he could absorb every day reached a terrifying number of one hundred thousand rays.
This is equivalent to a billion people praying devoutly at the same time.
Of course, Nalant cannot really use all these hundred thousand rays of faith.
There are at least three layers that need to be used as feedback, so that the temple can give back to these believers.
As for the other two levels, you are trying your best to absorb them and strengthen your godhood.
The remaining five layers can be used to improve the combat effectiveness of your subordinates.
But even so, things are no longer what they used to be for Narant.
For example, to promote a subordinate to Sky Knight, only ten thousand rays are needed.
You can improve by five in a day.
The Sky Knights are definitely the mainstay among the armies of the Kingdom of God.
As for the great knights and paladin, they are the strongest in the army.
"Then, let's start expanding the army!"
Narant immediately began to consciously expand his army.
The first target of this military expansion is the human race itself.
Nalant is preparing to expand an army of human knights, namely the Storm Knights Legion.
Of course, if it depends on just a few people in his territory, it will definitely not be enough.
Therefore, Nalant planned to select some from the glorious little nobles.
Then choose some from more than a dozen principalities and empires.
Narant will choose a more balanced number among the three aspects, with each accounting for one-third.
As for loyalty, there is no need to worry about that.
First of all, the minimum requirement is that you are a devout believer in the Bone Dragon Knight.
Secondly, the improvement of Nalant is inherently limited by the system.
If they are not loyal to him (the Bone Dragon Knight), the person being promoted will explode and die on the spot.
Therefore, as long as they can be gifted by divine grace, they are undoubtedly loyal subordinates.
And after Nalant announced the news of selecting a storm knight for the god, both the small nobles of Glory and the newly joined principalities and empires were all excited.
They recommended their children to the temple one after another.
Finally, because there were too many people, Narant issued more detailed requirements.
That is, there are requirements for height, weight and facial features.
As for strength, it is the least important thing.
No matter how talented these noble descendants are, none of them can reach the level of the Earth Knight at this time.
Therefore, when the time comes, you will still need to rely on divine power to improve.
Restricting weight, height and facial features allowed Narant to select a team of subordinates with excellent mental outlook.
Think of the German army in a previous life.
Although what he did has become the public enemy of the world.
But I have to admit that their mental outlook is definitely second to none among the armies of various countries.
As the selection is completed one after another.
These selected candidates were sent to Stormwind City in batches.
Nor will Narant start promoting them right away.
Instead, Quick was asked to undergo rigorous basic training.
Such as lining up, marching, combat awareness, etc.
During this process, don't think that they will be able to sit back and relax.
If Narant finds out, these guys have no collective consciousness.
Or he is disobedient to discipline or has bad moral character.
Then it will still be eliminated.
Of course, such things rarely happen.
Because these people were accounted for when they came here.
Be sure to obey Nalant's arrangements honestly.
Even if you tell them to die, you can't frown.
Otherwise, there will definitely be no good fruits to eat after returning.
Under these circumstances, these recruited soldiers were very honest no matter what they said.
Time flies and another year has passed.
Bone Dragon Knight Temple.
Three thousand soldiers wearing silver armor and uniform-patterned smocks lined up neatly in the square.
Each of these soldiers raised their chests and raised their heads without squinting.
It actually has an indescribable temperament.
And these more than 3,000 people are the reserve army of the Knights of the Storm that Nalant recruited during this year.
