Great Reform Chapter 0104 Internal and external difficulties
Cyric, the god of murder, is one of the few powerful gods in the human pantheon of Faerûn.
It likes to weave lies and conspiracies, spread disputes and murders. It makes close friends betray, lovers turn against each other, and relatives kill each other. Its followers spread rumors everywhere and confuse people's hearts. It likes to lead mortals to destruction and disrupt the normal operation of the world's order.
The 'Dark Sun' has proven more than once that in order to gain power, it can resort to any means. Because of its extreme thirst for power and its attempt to become a god above gods, it always does things that harm others and do not benefit itself.
When other evil gods do bad things, they only deceive their enemies. Cyric is so bad, so bad, so bad, and so crazy that the first thing it does bad things to do is trick itself.
In order to make all mortals and even gods worship him, Cyric spent a lot of his divine power to create a "Ciré Book". This book contains powerful power and promotes Cyric as the only true god in the world.
As long as they read this book, any mortal or god will unconditionally become a follower of Cyric and be controlled and instigated by it. As a result, after the book was written, Cyric was so happy that it was the first to read it.
I read 'The Book of Heroes'.
So under the influence of this most powerful artifact, Cyric turned into an idiot who only knew how to praise himself, and fell directly from the Kingdom of God and fell into the mortal world.
His powerful divine power vanished into thin air, his spiritual thoughts disintegrated, his mind became muddled, and he ended up relying on a mortal to survive.
But even so, Cyric retains part of his divinity, and is not an existence that ordinary people can resist. It still has a bad character, loves to play conspiracies, and is happy to see mortals kill each other under its threats and lies.
This was the 'shadow' that Zhou Qingfeng encountered in the White Crow Camp, Cyric, the god of murder who had lost his original consciousness. After discovering that he was possessed by a true god who once possessed powerful divine power, his reaction was 'f*ck, no.
The more you gain, the more you lose.'
Cyric is indeed a treasure. The knowledge it imparts to Zhou Qingfeng is worth a fortune. In this other world, the value of knowledge is extremely high. It requires status, money, wealth, opportunity and luck to learn a little bit.
.
Understanding that the matter was urgent, Zhou Qingfeng and others all jumped on the wall of Harmony Village, waiting to see who would be possessed and jump out to cause trouble. However, with the addition of more than a hundred people from the original orc stronghold, the new Harmony Village was now crowded with five people.
There were more than a hundred people, but it was always quiet.
"I can guarantee that it is impossible for Cyric to possess my subordinates." Inisa said seriously: "We are all devout believers of Tempus, the god of war, and we must strongly resist the evil god's possession."
Knight Nasser then said: "Cyric will not just possess a pariah. But he likes to play tricks and manipulate the situation secretly. He may control a key person and trigger a rebellion or assassination at a specific moment.
.”
Speaking of assassination, Zhou Qingfeng himself is the target that Cyric wants to kill most. He saved a file and sighed: "It seems that I am the only one who can draw out the possessed person." After that, he turned around,
Leaving the stables where Inisa stayed.
Todd quickly followed, "Victor, where are you going?"
"go to sleep."
"The evil god wants to kill you, but you still go to sleep."
"Yeah, I just want to go to bed."
Inisha and Knight Nasser looked at each other, and quickly called on several subordinates to follow Zhou Qingfeng, and filed into the main house in the village to act as guards. To everyone's surprise, Uncle Zhou really went to bed, waiting for someone to come.
Assassinate him.
However, nothing happened overnight, and the whole village was safe. When he woke up the next day, Zhou Qingfeng felt refreshed, but Inisha and others who had been watching all night were a little sleepy.
"Rubio, arrange board and lodging for Princess Inisa and others. From now on, they will be with us." The fuss last night actually eliminated some of the barriers between Zhou Qingfeng and Inisa. Neither of them were happy.
Let’s talk about the quarrel again and focus on the present.
"Wilson, go and count the population of our territory. Everyone needs to establish a superior-subordinate relationship. It's best to have a roster. Do you understand what I mean? Everyone should understand who they should listen to and what they are responsible for?
"
Zhou Qingfeng treats the head craftsman as a housekeeper, and Todd and Old Borg also have the same responsibilities. He directly manages the thirteen orc warriors, gathering these barbarians around him to serve as guards - the barbarians are actually easy to manage, hey
There will be no trouble if you are full.
But the other forces of the 'Allied Forces' are not under Zhou Qingfeng's direct jurisdiction. He made the conditions last night, but no one from those people responded. He suspected that Cyric, who had lost his memory, was possessed by one of them. He mainly suspected Fei Zhe.
, selfishness is the most important thing.
But as the day passed, nothing happened in the village. No one caused trouble, no one escaped, and no one came to assassinate. However, Na'er came to express his willingness to leave the Lake of Ashes and join Zhou Qingfeng's command as an individual.
Zhou Qingfeng was paranoid in his heart, looking at everyone as if they were possessed by Cyric. He was neither enthusiastic nor rejecting the third-level Druidnar. He simply said welcome and let the opponent into his team.
.
Before nightfall, the sorcerer apprentice Jason, who had always had little presence, arrived and expressed his intention to join the "Resistance Alliance" led by Zhou Qingfeng. He also brought the current status of other leaders...
"A dozen people had a dozen opinions, and they were arguing endlessly. I tried to persuade them to recognize the reality, but they became more and more violent. Luke and Fei Zhe even had a fight for no reason. I really couldn't stand it.
Those are a bunch of idiots."
Jason is a rational wizard and naturally can't stand a group of rough people. But he has never been very enthusiastic about Zhou Qingfeng. Could he be possessed by Cyric if he comes here now?
After Jason arrived, Luke also rushed over. With a bruised nose and a swollen face, he was full of anger. When he arrived, he announced that Xiong Roarfeng, to which he belonged, was willing to hand over one-tenth of his manpower to Zhou Qingfeng's command, including himself.
This is obviously a compromise. One-tenth of the manpower joins Zhou Qingfeng's command, but they are definitely still being watched by Luke. Could this guy be a mole inspired by Cyric?
After Luke arrived, other leaders also ran over. They suddenly put aside their old grudges and expressed their willingness to agree to Zhou Qingfeng's conditions and hand over one-tenth of their manpower to maintain the unity and integrity of the 'Resistance Alliance'.
Everyone seems to be speaking righteously and with valid reasons. The Lie Corsage can't tell who is telling lies at all - Cyric is the god of murder and has mastered the priesthood of 'lie'. It possesses people
The target must have extremely high lying skills.
Because of Cyric's departure, Zhou Qingfeng had to focus most of his energy on identifying the possessed people inside and paid less attention to the goblins.
But not long after nightfall, a hunter hurried back to the village to report, "The goblins from the Gray Mud Pit are out. They have mobilized thousands of troops and their target is us."
Thousands of troops?
Zhou Qingfeng felt a headache. The inner ghost had not been found, but the foreign enemy was coming. The enemy was powerful, but it was impossible not to fight. Goblins had night vision, so they naturally liked to attack at night. Humans did not, so fighting at night would be a mess.
In the face of an incoming enemy, one had to either stay behind the wall and wait until dawn, or take the initiative to ambush him along the way until dawn. Zhou Qingfeng had to call the leaders of each department to inform him of the situation.
When everyone heard that the goblins had taken the initiative to kill them, they all expressed their intention to wait for dawn. No one was willing to go out and fight thousands of monsters in the middle of the night. Even Inisha and other followers of the God of War would not do such a reckless thing.
Zhou Qingfeng was also blind at night and had no confidence in holding a torch and entering the complicated forest road to intercept the goblins. He agreed to the decision to stick to the situation and ordered more torches to be lit inside and outside the village to ensure lighting.
A few hours later, the old goblin shaman Zul Grayskin personally led the team. Sixty or seventy bugbears, more than 300 goblin guards, more than a thousand goblin spearmen and archers, a total of nearly 1,500
Green-skinned monsters appeared outside the newly reborn Harmony Village.
It was a dark night, and there were still three hours until dawn, but the enemy's attack was about to begin.
Zhou Qingfeng stood behind the crenellations of the village wall and looked at the incoming enemy. He was the one who attacked this place the day before yesterday, and now he is defending. The situation is very bad. Can he hold on for three hours?
