Around the altar, dry firewood was being burned by the fire, making a beeping sound.
Everyone held their breath, waiting for the arrival of the gods. Allen took the lead and knelt down on the altar, constantly chanting: "Praise you, great God!"
At this moment, the air solidified, then rippled, and the ripples in the air became larger and larger. Finally, a rotating black hole appeared in everyone's sight.
In the black hole, a figure walked out, it was Zheng Dong.
After Zheng Dong said "teleport", he felt the world spin for a while, then his body sank, and he appeared on the altar of Crescent Island.
Feeling the pressure from his body, Zheng Dong knew that the gravity of this seat should be slightly greater than that of the earth. He estimated that it should be about 1.2 to 1.3 times.
Zheng Dong took some time to adapt and quickly adapted to the gravity here.
Under the altar.
When the natives saw that the gods had really arrived, they made a sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami.
"Praise you! Great God!"
"God has really come!"
"It's really coming!"
"Our great God has come!"
At this moment, Allen was even more excited than words could express. He knelt down at Zheng Dong's feet, his face flushed: "Great God! Your believers, welcome your arrival!"
Zheng Dong looked at the roaring and tsunami-like scene below, and his mood was slightly elevated. He gently raised his hand and said in a gentle voice: "Stand up, my believers."
Facing the will of the gods, everyone did not dare to disobey and stood up one after another.
Only now did they have the opportunity to carefully look at the true appearance of the gods.
With a height of over 1.8 meters, he is slightly shorter than Allen, but compared to the natives on the island, he is much taller.
For this advent, Zheng Dong specially bought a white robe on Taobao, which looked a bit like Gandalf in the Lord of the Rings.
Since he had to pretend to be a magic stick, Zheng Dong felt that the shorts and undershirt still didn't match, so he simply bought a white sacrificial robe on Taobao.
Sure enough, at this moment, as Zheng Dong raised his hand, he showed his demeanor as a magic stick.
But in the eyes of the natives, Zheng Dong's action seemed so elegant and sacred.
"Believers," Zheng Dong said in proficient ancient Byronic language, "I can feel your sincere prayers. Although the overseas devils have been eliminated, they will come back."
The strange thing is that none of the natives felt scared when they heard this.
Obviously, after Allen massacred the knights sent by Viscount Winter last time, everyone's fear of the devil has disappeared.
The natives who joined the tribe in the later period all lost their fear of the devil after seeing the devil's body, not to mention that the gods were with them at this moment.
At this moment, they had nothing to fear.
Seeing the calm expressions of the believers, Zheng Dong nodded with satisfaction: "Therefore, we must become stronger as soon as possible to defeat the devil and these scum who invaded our homeland."
"Beat them!"
"Kill the devil!"
"Kill them!"
"..."
Zheng Dong looked at the roaring crowd and raised his hand again.
It was quiet again under the altar.
"However, if you want to defeat the devil, relying on your current strength is far from enough." Zheng Dong smiled, "Believers, I will give you the power to become a powerful temple knight like the envoy."
When they heard that the gods were going to give them strength, all the believers immediately beamed with joy.
Zheng Dong turned around, looked at Allen behind him, and said softly: "Alan, stand up."
After hearing this, Allen slowly stood up and bowed: "I would like to listen to your teachings!"
"Where is the knight reserve I asked you to choose?"
"Great God, they are there." Allen pointed in a direction under the altar.
Zheng Dong looked in the direction of Allen's finger and saw natives standing there wearing the knight armor captured by Allen and holding sharp swords.
The natives of Crescent Island were much shorter than the knights of the Eagle Kingdom, so they wore armor that was one size larger, giving Zheng Dong the feeling of a puppet army, which made him want to laugh.
But at this moment, the laughter was obviously not in line with Zheng Dong’s status as a god. He said to Allen with a sullen face: “Let them come over.”
After a while, the indigenous knight reserves were brought to the altar by Allen. Zheng Dong counted them, there were fifty of them in total.
Based on the population of the tribe, the military-civilian ratio reached 1:200. This ratio is not high and will not put heavy pressure on the believers.
Under the gaze of everyone, a book with shimmering golden lines suddenly appeared and floated in front of Zheng Dong.
The Book of Truth slowly opened, and the golden light shone on Zheng Dong's face, making his image extraordinarily sacred.
Zheng Dong raised his hand and said to the indigenous knights kneeling on the altar: "I say, give you strength!"
Everyone felt that the knowledge and insights of countless exercises were suddenly in their minds. They did not bother to check at the moment and thanked you one after another: "Praise you, great God!"
Then, the believers in the audience followed suit and said, "Praise you, great God!"
"Praise to you..."
At this point, the sacrifice is almost over.
This sacrifice reached its climax with the arrival of Zheng Dong and the power given to believers.
...
After the sacrifice, Zheng Dong found Allen, Tulu and Fulun alone.
Inside the thatched house.
After Zheng Dong accepted the three people's kneeling, he asked everyone to stand up.
"Alan, how is the construction of the new city going?"
After hearing the god's question, Allen wanted to kneel down again. After being stopped by Zheng Dong, he bowed and said: "Currently, believers lack the tools to mine rocks. It will probably take several months to complete the project."
How many months?
Zheng Dong frowned. Currently, there are as many as 5,000 adult male believers building the city, but it actually takes several months to build a small city.
Zheng Dong believed that if 5,000 people from Earth were brought in, it would probably be done in a few days. The efficiency of the other world was too slow. But he knew that this was due to the lack of tools.
Excavation of rocks relies on manpower, transportation relies on manpower, and construction still relies on manpower.
In a few months, it is already the result of believers not being lazy. If they are lazy, it will not be surprising if it takes several years to build.
etc!
Zheng Dong seemed to have thought of something and said to Allen: "Did you and the knight reserves participate in the construction of the city?"
After hearing this, Allen's heart tightened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "No."
After hearing this, Zheng Dong understood that in Allen's view, how could extraordinary people be allowed to do rough work like building a city? This was something that civilians and even slaves did.
He stared at Allen and said word by word: "Starting from tomorrow, you will mine rocks with the team."
"As you wish, great God!"
Faced with God's will, Allen did not dare to refute it at all.
Zheng Dong nodded with satisfaction, and then looked at Tulu, the leader of the Manniu tribe.
