Although the Freyagard Empire can suppress religion, it cannot stop faith.
Just as Luo Jie previously revealed a certain water goddess as an emoticon, it is enough to show that there are not only gods in this world, but also miracles from time to time.
Such a high level of exposure cannot be achieved by simply banning it with a single government decree.
Where there are gods, there will naturally be demons.
Regardless of whether he has done bad things or not, since he is classified as the opposite of God and is hated and hostile by humans who naturally yearn for light and fear darkness, it has become a logical universal recognition.
The [Great Succubus] bloodline of "Xiahiring Reika" belongs to the upper-level demon clan, and does not have the desolate aura of low-level succubi. However, the iconic bat wings and charm techniques cannot be faked after all, so they are naturally classified.
Classified as evil.
And Luo Jie became a fallen human being who surrendered to the devil (Pants A).
"I will definitely kill you today, and I will never let the empire fall into the hands of heretics like you who believe in demons!"
"Oslo" the Duke roared with red eyes, and suddenly a red spar exuding an ominous aura appeared in his hand, and it stabbed into his chest. The blood-stained spar was surrounded by dense blood vessel-like bulges.
The surface actually lit up with flashes of light that flickered on and off like a heartbeat.
"ah!"
Amidst the painful screams, the Duke of "Oslo"'s arms exploded into blood mist, and the bloody wound on his shoulder spurted out two raging flames, which instantly condensed into a pair of elemental claws glowing red.
The fire elements in the space gathered crazily, forming a flame storm visible to the naked eye. A fiery red spear instantly condensed in his hand, and he threw it at Luo Jie with a shocking roar!
[Raging Sun Fire Spear]!
A red line of fire lit up between the sky and the earth, and a huge sonic boom roared in all directions.
"It's really ridiculous... You say you believe in gods, but you want to use the power of demons to kill me, a heretic?"
Luo Jie did not evade or dodge, he jumped up with the sword in both hands, and struck out a raging, burning flame sword light with a light weight.
"Kagura, the God of Fire: Bone-Scorching Sun Flame"!
The crimson blade slashed at the tip of the flame spear with great precision. After a slight pause, it cut through the middle, sparks sputtering all the way.
The flame spears that rolled up in a V shape swept past Luo Jie's sides, dragging out two flame tracks several kilometers long behind him, falling feebly in the distance, igniting huge fires in the mountains and forests.
"This is impossible!"
The Duke of "Oslo" looked at the two fires burning in the distance in disbelief. He suddenly held his head and let out an inhuman howl. His figure continued to expand and his clothes were torn. Two curved sharp horns protruded from his forehead, and his face was twisted ferociously.
, transformed into a strange appearance that was neither a cow nor a horse.
"For His Majesty the Emperor! For the Empire! Oh my!"
"Oslo" the Duke's roar suddenly stopped, his blood-red eyes widened as he looked down at the tip of the knife piercing his chest.
This man... moves so fast!
Although his eyes caught a little bit of shadow, his body couldn't keep up with it at all.
"Finally, wait until you transform... and go on your way with peace of mind."
Luo Jie could instantly kill the Duke of "Oslo" from the very beginning, but precisely because he knew that there was a stronger demon form behind him, he waited until now to actually take action.
The purpose is naturally to kill weak chickens for the opponent's kill chest, but nothing good can be obtained.
The red crystal that exuded an ominous aura shattered and collapsed, and the lifeless demon body fell to the ground, turning into black ash that spread all over the sky under the burning fire of the golden sun.
[You killed the "Devil Archduke Oslo", and you obtained the "Demon Archduke Oslo's Treasure Chest". 】
…
The commander who was known as the "Imperial God of War" was slaughtered as easily as a dog, and half of his comrades fell unconscious in their own white turbidity. The remaining cavalrymen had completely lost their mentality, and they dismounted from their horses and knelt down in fear.
These cavalry are rare elites in the army. Naturally, Luo Jie will not waste it on a meaningless massacre. When the player's large army catches up, he will directly hand over these surrendered soldiers to "Fight Tigers Tonight"
They handle it.
Except for those who knew Luo Jie to a certain extent about "succulents" and "sacred radiance", everyone felt unbelievable at the outcome of this battle. Privately, their eyes looking at Luo Jie became increasingly complicated and awe-inspiring.
Even privately, some people began to doubt his true rank.
Luo Jie did not give any direct answer to this. Anyway, due to the unspoken rules among players, no one would be stupid enough to ask him for confirmation in person, and he did not need to explain anything to others.
…
This time the Imperial Crusade Army blocked the battle, and the shock it brought to the entire Fendorf Territory was undoubtedly explosive.
At first, no one was optimistic about these rebels, which numbered only a hundred people. Especially when they heard that the empire had sent a crusade of 8,000 people, everyone from nobles to civilians believed that the end of this small rebel army was coming.
However, the next development shocked everyone. Facing the menacing Imperial Crusade, this rebel army not only did not rush to grab a vote and run away like crazy at the end, but took the initiative to attack regardless of life or death. The most important thing is that
And he actually won!
The Archduke of "Oslo", known as the Empire's God of War, was killed in battle. The 8,000-guessing army suffered more than 1,000 casualties and nearly 3,000 prisoners. The active regular troops in the neighboring "Buchwald Territory" and "Ackerland Territory" were completely destroyed.
Being disabled, there is no possibility of sending troops again in a short time.
Common people under the feudal system rarely had the concept of country and nation. As long as they could ensure their normal life, they would not mind the change of rulers.
After it was confirmed that the players could secure Fendorf's leadership, many people's minds began to get excited. Among them, businessmen and small nobles who were not in power reacted the fastest and raised their families to invest, completely treating the players as an emerging force as a rare commodity.
Betting object.
With the proofing provided by the masters above, the common people began to accept the rule of the players with complete confidence. Not only were the various construction sites and factories crowded with people looking for jobs, but even the military recruitment office, which had always been neglected, began to
Normal operations resumed.
Without the threat of being wiped out, three times the military pay is quite attractive.
Of course, it has now been adjusted to 1.5 times.
The dozens of "veterans" who received three times the salary immediately became the smart and far-sighted people in the eyes of everyone, and the favorites in the eyes of the seven aunts and eight aunts. It is said that many people are already busy dating each other.
.
With sufficient human resources, the young scientist "Big Star Ringo" also began to climb the technology tree at the fastest speed. Various new technologies and new tools that are in line with the current productivity have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. Fendorf's collar is changing almost every day.
are undergoing tremendous changes.
What makes the players most excited is that after defeating the Imperial Crusade and completely taking control of Fendorf Territory, the map exploration rate of the main mission that had not been touched for a long time suddenly increased by one percentage point.
This also proves that their efforts are in the right direction. Through occupation and domination, they can indeed achieve this main mission more efficiently.
On the other hand, the Freyagard Empire side.
Perhaps they were frightened by the ultra-high combat effectiveness displayed by the players, or perhaps they could not find a suitable candidate to lead the army for a while. After the news of the death of the Duke of "Oslo" came back to the imperial capital, the upper-level officials and nobles of the empire
They remained surprisingly silent, making it impossible to guess what they wanted to do.
However, this kind of cold treatment, which did not mention either crusade or recruitment, also allowed the Fendorf Kingdom to gain valuable time for stable development, and both the economy and the military began to enter a virtuous cycle.
Based on multiple war games and deductions after gathering intelligence, all players can be convinced that unless the Freyagard Empire is willing to risk being invaded by aliens and mobilize elite frontier troops for an expedition across most of the empire, they can only hold their noses and negotiate.
, acquiescing to their right to rule the Fendorf Territory, or continuing to force the lords of several nearby territories to carry out crusade, and then helplessly sit back and watch as they are bloodied little by little by the nail driven into their butts by the Fendorf Territory.
In other words, they have survived the most difficult stage. As long as they climb the technology tree to a certain height and form a sufficient generational advantage over the Freyagard Empire, it is only a matter of time before they cannibalize this behemoth bit by bit.
