Zong Shen already had murderous intentions towards the five people.
If they persist in their obsession, he will definitely kill them.
There is nothing to hesitate about.
Among coercion and inducement, the former has the best effect, while the latter requires certain skills.
Unless you meet the kind of iron-headed boy who would rather die than surrender.
But in this world, there are still many "smart people" who assess the situation and few "fools" who are not afraid of death.
At the moment, with the soldiers of the Apostles pressing closer and closer.
Zong Shen noticed that there seemed to be obvious differences in the opinions of the five people.
The three people from the giant city of Dabos, headed by the fire magician Doris, are obviously "smart people".
Their fighting spirit is wavering.
Even the two Sorenson brothers, who have fierce fighting styles, are no exception.
They are just good at fighting, but they are not stupid young people who are fearless.
On the contrary, the two elders of Sanji Church were determined to die.
The devout faith of the church allowed them to dare to defy the fear of death.
As long as you are fearless and pious, you can enter the Kingdom of God after death.
So they are not afraid of death.
When the encirclement shrinks to less than five meters.
Doris, who was wearing a mage's robe and had a graceful posture, threw away the staff in her hand.
"I am willing to surrender."
After she set an example, the Dabos gladiatorial twins also threw away their weapons.
The weapons they used were extremely heavy, and when they hit the ice, they splashed a lot of ice shards.
"We are also willing to surrender."
Seeing this, Zong Shen nodded with satisfaction.
The apostle regiment formation approaching the three men instantly collapsed, leaving a crowded passage.
The twins Doris and Dabos walked into the crowd with bare hands.
At this time, Zong Shen turned his attention to the two elders of Sanji Church.
"What about you?"
The two church elders looked at each other, and each saw a hint of determination in the other's eyes.
It was obvious that he was planning to use some kind of trick that would damage the enemy eight hundred times and damage himself all.
However, Zong Shen was already prepared and waved his hand first.
One of the phalanxes of Apostle Regiment warriors who had been prepared for a long time suddenly threw short spears.
There is another mystery to these short spears. They burst into halos of light in the air, like streaks of light falling to the ground.
Thousands of light spears landed accurately, turning the place into a huge ball of light.
It seemed like a small sun was rising there.
From Zong Shen's perspective, thousands of damage values appeared in half a second, and the scene looked extremely terrifying.
When the light dissipated, the two elders of the Sanji Church who were there were already dying.
The light spear did not kill them, but only wounded them and sealed them.
The most important thing is the effect of the ban.
They will become sustenance for the Calamityraven Church's sacrifices.
The sacrifice value of two legendary strong men is worth dozens of epic-level strong men.
Doris and the other three looked a little pale when they saw this scene.
To be honest, death is simply a luxury compared to flesh and blood sacrifice.
In comparison, the choices they made were quite wise.
At the very least, he wouldn't die in this ghost place without any explanation or be captured as a sacrifice.
At this time, Zong Shen was like a super villain. Under his order, the Apostle Corps soldiers gathered here began to disperse towards the outside in an orderly manner.
It has to be said that the church’s apostles are almost impeccable in terms of discipline and order.
This is all because of the existence of fanatical beliefs.
But what Zong Shen dislikes most about the power of the church is his faith.
It can be said that you have faith when you succeed, and you have faith when you fail.
The two banned elders of the Sanji Church were taken directly to the bottom of the long-distance transmission channel.
What awaits them is the miserable fate of becoming food for sacrifices.
Souls, flesh and blood will be sacrificed to the gods.
For the two of them, it was a punishment more cruel than death.
And their souls are destined to be unable to ascend to the Kingdom of God.
When the two guys were taken by the teleportation channel and sent to Jackdaw Valley.
Several knights from the Disaster Apostles also sent equipment and storage jewelry that they had ripped out from under their bodies.
Including the robes they wore, boots and several pieces of jewelry with church characteristics.
It starts at the golden epic level, and there are even one or two pieces of dazzling level equipment.
Zong Shen put them all away. Now was not the time to inspect the loot.
He rode [Hell Dark Nightmare Hamis] and flew towards the encirclement surrounded by Doris and the Sorensen brothers.
These guys have surrendered, but have not yet gone through the process of allegiance, so they have not yet been officially included in the territory's loyalty system.
To complete this process, Zong Shen needs to come forward in person.
I saw him riding a nightmare and flying into the sky, landing in front of the three of them.
"Doris Hall, a seventh-level fire mage."
"When he was young, he served in the Kingdom's Wildfire Force and served as the captain of the caster squadron."
"Then he made great achievements in conquering the rotten lizard clan in the Black Mud Swamp."
"Get the opportunity to go to the Elemental Spellcaster Academy in the Imperial City of San Sebastian for further study."
"Succeeded in breaking through the seventh-level magician 17 years ago, and is currently sitting in the mage tower in the preparation giant city of Elant."
"Married with no children, her husband is William Martins, the leader of the Redbud Knights of Elant Preparatory City."
"At the time of the incident, I happened to be studying in the giant city of Dabos, so I was urgently assigned by Archduke Jonathan to work with the two Sorensen brothers to carry out the secret mission of taking away Prince Carter Pendragon."
Zong Shen said like a treasure.
With the strategy module, he can know the origins of these people in detail.
Ignoring Doris' slightly dull eyes.
He turned back to look at the sturdy Dabos gladiator twins.
"Bridger Sorenson."
"Ole Sorensen."
"Has half the blood of highland barbarians."
"He is naturally powerful and good at hand-to-hand combat."
"I have fought hundreds of times in the Dabos Arena."
"Having rich experience in close combat, after cooperating with each other, they can even fight against higher-level experts."
"Bridger's wife had an abnormal relationship with Ole for three years."
…
This method of registering "hukou" is very effective.
The last bit of defense between Doris and the Sorensen brothers was broken.
"Who is your Excellency?"
"Is he a senior spy from the Shadow Dragon Guard?"
Doris asked in a dazed tone.
Zong Shen smiled and shook his head without saying a word.
After the two Sorensen brothers gritted their teeth and exposed each other's shortcomings, both brothers actually did something to feel sorry for each other.
Fortunately, these things can only be regarded as trivial matters in the face of life and death.
But a lot of it happens in secret.
Under such circumstances, they were very surprised that Zong Shen could still tell the details accurately.
Didn't answer Doris' question.
Zong Shen smiled and shook his head without saying a word.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke.
"You just made the right choice."
"It's time to swear allegiance to me."
He made new demands.
The three of them chose to succumb entirely because of the church's power.
However, they could also see that the warriors of the Apostles would obey the orders of the man in front of them.
But Zong Shen didn't behave like a high-ranking person in the church.
Therefore, Doris and the other three were also a little confused.
They began to be unsure of Zong Shen's background and origins.
"I would like to ask you a question."
"Shall the three of us swear allegiance to you, or should we swear allegiance to the church?"
This time it was Doris who spoke again.
Compared to the reticent Dabos Gladiator Twins, her eloquence is obviously better.
She does most of the talking.
This question slowly raised the corners of Zong Shen's lips, and he revealed a smile whose true meaning was difficult to decipher.
Then he answered calmly.
"This question makes no sense."
"Of course you are loyal to me."
Having said this, he paused for a moment before continuing.
"By the way, the church is also loyal to me."
Silence spread.
The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The subtext in Zong Shen's words is that he has conquered the Calamity Raven Church.
“When did those fanatical believer lunatics learn to surrender?”
Church power is the most difficult to subdue.
Because their faith makes them fearless.
As long as you are not afraid of death, you can ignore most threats.
Secondly, a strong belief is difficult to reverse.
Those church believers are all ironheads, and asking them to submit to outsiders or other forces is no less than making devout believers abandon their gods.
Regarding this point, we can see some clues from the previous performance of the two elders of Sanji Church.
Under such circumstances, the news that Zong Shen said that he had conquered the church was a bombshell.
Without saying anything more, he chose to remain silent.
Waiting for Doris and the others to digest the shock in their hearts.
It took almost half a minute for them to come back to their senses.
Doris Hall took a deep breath, then twisted the hem of her robe and knelt down on one knee.
"I offer you my loyalty and my oath."
"The great lord."
Taking an oath is just a process and has nothing to do with the words of the oath itself.
The moment she knelt down and took the oath, the relationship between the lords and subjects of both parties was established.
With Doris as the "leading party", she has set an example many times.
Ole Sorensen and Bridger Sorensen then knelt down on one knee one after another, placed their right palms on their strong left chests, bowed their heads in salute to him, and swore allegiance to him.
This kind of oath is just a promise with little binding force among the indigenous people.
But for the lord, it is a chain that limits the relationship between the two parties.
As long as a loyalty system is established, it is equivalent to an extra level of protection.
He accepted the allegiance of three people one after another.
Zong Shen discovered an interesting situation.
The initial loyalty points of Fire Mage Doris Hall are as high as 72 points.
It is no less loyal than some high-level soldiers after recruitment.
The initial loyalty points of the two Sorensen brothers were only a pitiful 62 points.
The loyalty gap between the two parties is as high as 10 points.
It can be seen that Doris, the wife mage, obviously has her own plans.
She is more thoughtful than she appears.
Initial loyalty is an interesting metric.
It can truthfully feedback the people's true opinions of the lord after joining the territory.
The higher the initial loyalty, the more optimistic the people are about the lord.
Normally, a level below 65 points is a low level.
This means that the two Sorensen brothers don't like Zong Shen very much.
Above 70 points is a higher level.
This means that Doris has no objection in her heart to swearing allegiance to him.
There is no doubt that she is a woman who is extremely good at assessing situations.
I didn’t think too much about this aspect.
Zong Shen, who was always riding on the back of the nightmare, opened his hands and said loudly.
"Welcome to my territory."
"After a few years, you will find that this is a wise choice."
"Okay, now please follow the guidance of those church believers, go through the teleportation channel to Jackdaw Valley, and wait for my next instruction."
Zong Shen doesn't plan to waste too much time here.
There was no deliberate seizure of the three people’s stored jewelry and equipment.
Now that they have joined the territory, it would be nice to be self-sufficient.
At least there is no need for Zong Shen to provide them with additional suitable equipment.
After a simple explanation, he rode on Nightmare and left without any nostalgia.
Seeing that Zong Shen's eyes did not linger on her, a trace of disappointment flashed deep in Doris's eyes.
The two Sorenson brothers seemed dissatisfied with her repeated surrenders.
So he ignored her and followed the believer to the transmission channel first.
After thinking about it for a while, Doris left with stiff steps.
She is a smart woman, otherwise she would not have been able to rise so smoothly.
She even found a husband who was the captain of the Redbud Knights of Preparatory City.
The so-called preparatory giant city is a huge state city.
This type of state city often has a population of nearly 10 million, and the urban area is far larger than the average state city.
It's just one step away from becoming a giant city.
Therefore, it is also called the prepared giant city.
Due to her seniority, Doris could only perform her duties in the mage tower in the preparatory city.
Even so, she did not give up the opportunity to seize potential stocks.
So I found a husband who had great potential for promotion in the future.
At the legendary level, the lifespan is far longer than that of ordinary humans, comparable to immortal species.
Ten years or even decades are nothing at all.
I have to say that she is indeed a smart woman.
Just now when she learned that Zong Shen had subdued the Calamity Raven Church.
Some ideas came into my mind.
However, the falling flowers are intentional, while the flowing water is ruthless.
Zong didn't even look at her, even though she was indeed a pretty woman.
But right now, Zong Shen has no intention of having fun.
There are now tens of millions of citizens under his command.
To put it bluntly, three-legged toads are hard to find, while two-legged girls are everywhere.
The love between men and women is just an adjustment, there is a whole huge city waiting for him to take over.
Compared with receiving the giant city, other things are not worth mentioning.
So much so that he didn't even bother to look at Doris.
However, if there is a chance in the future, he would not mind being a thief and having a friendly exchange with Doris.
After conquering Doris and others.
The small dimensional world within [Dimensional Seed (Special)] is considered empty.
It's perfect for temporarily housing the population.
