Chapter 319 Starting and Development

The war in the far east has reached a stalemate in full swing

In the past few years, a large number of Rhine citizen soldiers, slave soldiers, and servant armies have been recruited eastward. The kingdom has become empty for a while, and many sects have used the "natural disaster of the Rhine" to continuously attack and complete the

A minimum expansion of grassroots power was achieved.

So to this day, except for some latent sects that have not yet emerged directly, many "Jedi sects" have a number of followers ranging from over a million to hundreds of thousands, and because they can survive in disaster years

Most of them were in their prime of life, so the majority of the people they gathered during this period were also in their prime;

Moreover, in a situation where production and faith are highly related, almost every sect has sufficient material reserves, which is in sharp contrast to the poor state of the outside world under the influence of natural disasters;

And when military strength and piety were further linked, various sects that already believed deeply in God also showed that all the people of the right age were soldiers, and were able to realize this with the supply of sufficient weapons.

So, when the holy angels finally issued the will of the gods and said it was time to embark on a great journey, their total strength of tens of millions immediately set off thousands of waves in the kingdom.

But at the same time, the angel also gave another important instruction

He said, "Gods are benevolent and value civilization and life. The gods are willing to give believers of false gods a chance, so that they can slowly switch to faith pointing to the true God under the power of time, thereby gaining eternal life."

Shelter, and spiritual salvation.'

Therefore, regardless of whether it can be achieved, the purpose of this war is not to annihilate the Rhineland, but to compress its sphere of influence to within a limit, and in the following days, through external pressure and internal

The joint effect of missionary work will gradually transform their beliefs.

Of course, in this process, the rest of the vast territory and dependent population of the kingdom will naturally become the earthly kingdom of the gods.

Therefore, under such a decree, the nearly forty true god sects in the kingdom took the lead in conducting ultra-long-distance communication based on the altar, and agreed on the principles that all forces must abide by - that is, a unified stance.

Local alliance, wide-area independent fighting

First of all, there is no need to elaborate on the ‘unified stance’

The forces remaining in the capital area of ​​the Rhine Kingdom are still extremely powerful, and although the clan forces stationed in the country are dispersed, they are by no means weak. Therefore, before the covenant of the gods has officially ended, the various sects on the earth should avoid conflicts with each other.

occurrence, we should treat the believers of false gods as our temporary common enemies and deal with them.

The second 'partial alliance' refers to the need for various sects to jointly perform certain combat tasks when necessary.

For example, in some important strategic battles with "high intensity and low benefits", or in key areas with "huge benefits but too high intensity", everyone must dispatch appropriate troops and jointly bear the combat pressure under the arbitration of angels.

Finally, ‘individual warfare in a wide area’ refers to

Under the watchful eye of the gods, and under the instruction and arbitration of their respective angels, the True God Order divided the people of the affiliated tribes within the kingdom, except for key areas such as the capital area and the eastern border, according to factors such as population size and azimuth distance.

Nearly forty "large contract areas" were created and distributed to different denominations as "faith resources";

The latter needs to strictly follow the treaty plan to gather people and wealth within the 'scope' to which it is divided, and turn them into brothers and sisters of the same faith, and cannot cross the border to snatch those who should belong to allies for the sake of profit.

part.

After such an agreement, the various sects finally decided to send out troops according to the planned results, and then either jointly or individually, to carry out their respective tasks here;

But before they actually launched their troops, another divine favor was bestowed upon them.

In the divine grace that all religious groups strive for together, there are roads with each Jedi as the core, extending outward in all directions. They seem to be generated out of thin air, and they seem to be drilled out of the ground.

In a relatively short period of time, the connection between each other was completed;

As a result, a transportation network called the "Road of Divine Grace" was established in the vast Rhine Kingdom.

This is a strange road that has never been seen before. As long as a special carriage is placed on the place called the 'track' by the angels, and then the improved beasts of burden on the altars of various sects are used as traction, the heavy carriage can be moved

Supplies, or large groups of soldiers, are transported to various places within the kingdom at extremely fast speeds.

And that's not all. There are also strict and solid fortresses appearing in various important hubs along the way. They are also equipped with various "fixed weapons" blessed by angels that do not require supplies;

After experiments, it was discovered that these fortresses, combined with the weapons deployed within them, could form a tight massacre blockade with powerful and continuous attacks under the control of true god believers.

What they protect is a well-equipped military supply point, which contains dry underground grain depots, neat barracks, and several large and small weapon depots, including even the most cherished weapons of the kingdom today.

Water resources also flow slowly from the ground where they are located, and can be accessed relatively easily.

In other words, as long as the various religious groups transport various materials from the base area and fill them in, they can use this as a basis to establish an excellent military station everywhere;

And in the future, they can also be used as prototypes of cities for further development.

And after sending troops, the religious group naturally did the same thing.

The various sects were afraid that these "divine favors" would be preempted by the Rhine clans in various places, which in turn would divide and surround themselves. Therefore, they raced against time from the beginning to transport food, supplies, and troops, and then in an extremely fast time

Within a short period of time, they had taken the lead in occupying most of the stations;

After this, each core religious group finally breathed a sigh of relief, believing that they had not wasted the blessings of gods and angels.

But something happened afterwards, which made each sect understand its own worries. The worries of the ordinary people due to poor imagination, in the face of the power of gods and angels, turned out to be too vulgar and vulgar.

Superfluous.

Whether it is the 'Road of God's Grace' or the fortresses and stations protected by it, everything is normal when used by various sects. However, once the enemy forces are bold enough to try it, problems such as 'Unable to start' will appear.

Due to reasons such as "weapon", "road interruption", "sudden block", etc., they cannot play any role in their hands;

Even if they choose to destroy it in desperation, its "sturdiness" and "renewability" will make the destroyers return in vain after spending a lot of effort.

Even when accepting some of the fortresses, the garrison found tragic corpses half sunk in the ground.

They seemed to be trapped from the inside by the automatically blocked fortress. In the process, they were either directly trapped to death, or they were killed by some ability of the building itself, and then entered the stage of decomposition and digestion.

With the scene seen by the sect garrison when receiving.

These believers will naturally not be afraid of the enemy's tragic situation, because they only see the power of the 'gods', and then they become more pious at this time, and then their faces are full of joy, and their hearts are full of emotion.

, entered the 'man-eating' fortress and began to perform its own tasks;

They will take turns to stay here to protect the safety of the food behind them, thereby making their actions smoother.

Afterwards, the religious groups thanked God for the gift of grace while using these roads and stations to quickly travel through the kingdom, completing many preliminary arrangements in a very short period of time.

For example, they each divided part of their forces, and then headed east together. In just over a month, they 'built' a huge war fortress at the border of the Eastern Region.

established contact with the 'deserter' forces;

The various sects originally planned to swallow up these imagined precarious deserters, but later learned that they were also favored by unknown or known true gods, and at this time, they had established large and small establishments in the country.

base area.

We don’t care what will happen in the future, but now everyone plans to communicate with each other and prepare to cooperate with each other to block the best way for the main force of the Far East Rhine to return, so that even if they make up their mind to return to the country immediately, it will not be smooth sailing.

Finished the journey home.

In the process, the tribes in the eastern region of the kingdom that were forcibly moved here due to the war were also divided up by the many sects in the territory.

For them, the 'population' that provides faith is the most important resource. The rest of the material wealth, weapons, food and livestock, and even the land itself are not rigid pursuits in a short period of time;

Therefore, the focus of the looting at this stage was still on the 'population' itself, with hundreds of thousands, millions, or even more people from vassal tribes being sent away one after another, either forcibly or voluntarily.

Go to the core holy places of each religious sect to receive divine grace.

All in all, with their own efforts and the help of lurkers, the series of offensives launched by the True God Sect can be said to have gone very smoothly.

Among the so-called "lurkers" mentioned in the foreword, except for some sporadic Rhine people who said they were "inspired by angels" and thus spontaneously helped, the Earth Mother Sect is the largest and most deeply rooted force among them.

In the ordinary world, the core authority of the sect is the "Grand Priest Group", which has a total of thirteen grand priest seats, and at this time, they are all full, and those who sit on these seats will

They are the 'Grand Mistress Princess' who exactly correspond in number as if by coincidence.

At first, the thirteen "Princes and Mistresses" on the far east front received divine inspiration. Their dissatisfaction with Father God's favoritism was amplified for some reason during the process, and gradually made them resent Mother Earth.

Belief in God gives birth to a heart of refuge.

Later, the angel's magic allowed them to see the future, and it seemed that there was almost only one way before the Rhine people.

As the core believers of the false god, the Rhine people can only be protected under the new order by converting to the true god, otherwise they will usher in the real annihilation of life and death;

Such an ending is naturally not what the princesses are willing to face. They even think that instead of having to join other sects sporadically in the future, they will become an inconspicuous part of it;

It would be better to concentrate all efforts to run a sect from the beginning, and use this to gain an advantage and strive for a better future situation than "survival".

With such thoughts, the thirteen princesses finally chose to convert in an uneasy mood, and found that not only were they not punished by God the Father, but they could even use the altar of God the Father themselves, and obtain almost nothing like before.

different blessings;

Therefore, the concept of 'false gods' and the news that the angels said they were 'trapped in the realm of true gods' took root in their hearts, and they gradually became convinced of it, and thus started to take follow-up actions more actively.

Therefore, under the instructions of the angels, the princesses secretly planned to establish the 'Earth Mother Goddess Order', and dedicated the huge number of slaves and slaves under their direct control, making it the beginning of the sect.

the underlying foundation;

He himself also gained the favor of gods and angels by virtue of this skill. Not only did he master new powers, but he also became a member of the "Grand Priest Group" that was planned to have only thirteen seats. Finally, he finally gained the initial goal they wanted.

's initiative'.

But for some reason known only to the angels, the cult did not take advantage of this advantage to expand the faith among the other matrons from the beginning. Instead, it carried out a very orderly and selective

of the first spread.

First of all, the newly minted high priests set up miniature altars in their respective residences, and almost under the eyes of the main army of the kingdom, they carried out preaching to the slaves;

They started from the top-level slave soldiers who obeyed their words, and gradually allowed them to have faith and new power born of faith, and then used this as a base to spread downwards, until the middle and lower levels of each slave army became

There are also many shallow believers.

Later, through the ultra-long-distance communication methods given by the angels, the princesses persuaded and connected the core relatives staying in the capital of the kingdom, and used them as transit to deploy the power of the sect in the country;

As a result, not only the princesses themselves, but also the slave soldiers and slaves controlled by the sisters and daughters in the country also became a new force in the sect from then on, and took advantage of the missionary advantage of the rear, which was far more convenient than the front,

Sect branches were established one after another to cultivate faith, and more elite training groups were gradually trained.

After that, they focused on absorbing the core females of the other side branches of the old thirteen clans who also controlled huge resources. Not only did they harvest the faith resources under their command for the sect, but they also used the new converts as important nodes for the extension of their power, and gradually

Weaving a large network that indirectly affects the overall domestic political situation;

After the update, the clan matriarchs who were outside the capital circle but located in key areas were contacted and absorbed, and they were instructed to secretly provide limited cover and assistance to allied sects;

And in the end, the princesses' eyes continued to spread along the power network, and turned to the remaining clan matrons.

Of course, this series of processes is not completely smooth sailing. There are naturally those who are willing to follow, but there are even more people who are unwilling to follow and firmly believe in God the Father.

For the former, it is natural to absorb them into the religious order and become the chief priests at all levels under the core, and then establish a new branch of the religious order with themselves as the core, to continue to transform compatriots who are qualified and have quotas, and to protect those who are not qualified for the time being.

There are also no quotas for compatriots to persecute compatriots who are too firm in their belief in the 'false god', and to appease the ambiguous and uninformed compatriots, and the slave soldiers controlled by the branches will naturally continue to develop the belief in the Earth Mother God;

For the latter, let them accidentally return to the "wall of hypocrites" mentioned by the angel, and then contact the sisters or daughters who were sitting in their original seats, and then repeat the previous process again.

Here, the princesses' "taking risks" and the "future scene" shown by the angels naturally became the most critical factors in transforming the beliefs of many great matrons.

They saw Father God's indifference in the former. Whether it was due to "imprisonment" or "exposed cowardice" due to lack of strength, Father God's indifferent attitude towards this matter can be said to have directly shaken the mistresses.

original belief;

The endless sorrow they saw in the 'future', combined with the 'opportunity' assumptions elaborated by the princesses, gave them hope and the way of self-comfort that 'this is for the good of the ethnic group'.

The sense of guilt caused by betraying Father God was weakened, and most of them finally chose to convert to Mother Earth.

In this way, although the slaves and slaves are no longer the private property of the Great Mistress, their direct leadership rights are still retained through new order planning such as "core religious groups" and "branch religious groups".

Due to the change of 'camp', other sects will not be regarded as enemies in the future;

Moreover, the method of spreading belief in this way is also destined that the Grand Matron group will occupy an important and even dominant position in the secular world in the future, and the princesses' earlier plans can also be realized.

As for the Earth Mother God Sect as a whole, even if the transformation process of each clan is maintained within a certain limit, with the addition of the Grand Matrons headed by the Thirteenth Princess, it is equivalent to directly controlling the most recent changes.

Huge faith resources, and also indirectly controls more potential power through clan ties;

Therefore, even though this sect has always maintained a state of inaction, it has become a new force that is truly top-notch, if not one of the best. After the war broke out, it turned into a glutton at the dinner table, using its many advantages to

When dividing the cake, a lot of resources were taken away.

But what the 'angels' are concerned about is only the orderly stripping away of the belief in 'false gods'. As long as this is indeed in the plan and is being resolutely implemented, then everything else is easy to say;

For example, the great mistresses’ planning for ‘advantage’ falls into this indifferent category of ‘easy to talk about’.

So after all these early developments, when time comes to this moment, not only the various sects on the surface have begun to take action, but the Earth Mother Goddess sect lurking in the dark is also constantly exerting their own inherent ability.

of influence.

Whether in the capital area or in the peripheral clans, the converts of the Earth Mother God who hold great power are comforting the uninformed people who can develop under their command, and at the same time, they are constantly sending out the most determined core of the Father God Sect.

The male 'leads the army into battle;

Naturally, most of the people who were sent out later were compatriots with the same belief attributes. Coupled with some slave soldiers with low conversion value and some affiliated war groups with firm inherent beliefs, a large army was set off on the road.

scene;

As a result, these armies either set off from the capital area or from the outer clans, and started successive battles with the legions of various sects.

This is a completely asymmetrical battle, because the sectarian army has long mastered their troop deployment, marching route, and even advance combat planning, and uses the divine grace track to mobilize troops and generals, forming absolute local battles again and again.

Advantages;

Afterwards, the high-end combat power on the opposite side was wiped out and captured one by one by the angel's "bending" or "punishment" coming to the world;

For battles at the middle and grassroots levels, one relies on one's own numerical advantage in traffic and equipment advantage;

Therefore, in these successive battles, it is natural that the sectarian coalition forces continue to reap the fruits of victory.

The outcome of these battles is undoubtedly a highly effective shot in the arm for the coalition forces.

After experiencing countless years and generations of being ruled and oppressed, the strength of the Rhineland race is not only a fact learned through bloody lessons, but also a concept that has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow for believers, occupying the vast majority of the sect.

The majority of ordinary believers are indeed afraid, and extremely afraid of the Rhine;

But now, these successive victories have allowed them to gradually regain their confidence, and the reason for this stark difference has made the 'True God Faith' become more and more deeply rooted.

When the news of these failures was deliberately released by the sect, it was spread by some Rhineland people who had misplaced their "identity", and was gradually sent to the capital circle, to the outer clans, and among the lurking

The priestess of the Earth Mother God let it go unchecked, and it was introduced into the ears of almost all Rhine species.

The initial anger led to more subsequent battles, but the subsequent failures made them have long-lost doubts about their abilities.

At this time, the main army that was still outside seemed to be the last straw in their hearts. Whether they really believed it or had to believe it, the vast majority of the Rhinelanders who were accustomed to standing at the top began to fight day and night.

I pray for the day when the king returns, and hope that the king can lead them out of the predicament;

However, what they don't know is that the king himself, who has been given extremely high expectations, can never be called a 'good' person in this situation.

The war in the far east has fallen into complete decay. The federal capital circle is like a turtle shell that cannot be broken. The increasingly heavy pressure on food and grass has also made the King of the Rhine feel deep regret.

At the beginning, the temporary allies on both sides of the north and south could still support some, especially the southern allies who had greater concerns and purposes in the far east. They assumed the responsibility of the Rhine Army with almost no additional conditions.

Partial expenses required;

But as time passed, first of all, problems arose with the northern allies. The Seventeenth Princess actually abandoned the war and returned home urgently with all the troops. Naturally, the part of the military supplies she had 'subsidised' was cut off.

Later, when the domestic mammoths, who were also suffering from drought, gritted their teeth and decided to take on this missing part, the bad news finally came from the far west, which made the King of the Rhine's mentality explode on the spot.

The person who came was his henchman, a core male with a gryphon mount. Except for necessary rest, he spent almost all of his time in the sky. At this time, he finally arrived at the front line.

And what he said after arriving was not only a report on the extremely bad situation in the rear country, but he also asked the king in anger, "Why has there been no reply for so long?"

Even if the content of this chapter is only partially expanded and written, it seems that it can be written in tens of thousands of words.

But I really don’t know whether I should expand on it or not, so I’ll just do this for now.
