Warhammer: Should I also sit on the Golden Throne?

Chapter 133 Benevolence and Righteousness, Righteousness and Benevolence

Wow, that's huge...

In Nuseria, in the city of Anet, Zhou Yun looked at the two giant axes lying across his face and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

These two axes were forged from the giant pincers of the scorpion beast, and Zhou Yun told Vulcan that the user of these axes would be about the same size as him, so Vulcan forged the axes to be large and heavy.

Simply by using "Move! Object!" to transport this axe from Nocturne Star, Zhou Yun's spiritual energy was completely drained, forcing him to use his newly acquired Earth Shamanic skills to borrow some spiritual energy from the World Serpent to fill the gap.

However, this also made Zhou Yun realize a small problem. According to Urken's teachings, everything on Nocturne is in the cycle of fire. Earth Shamans borrow the spiritual energy of the World Serpent, and will eventually return to the World Serpent in the cycle of fire... But Zhou Yun found that after he borrowed it and used it on interplanetary spells like "Teleport!", it seemed that he could not get it back.

The World Serpent won't come looking for debts or anything... probably not, they're still fast asleep.

Moreover, besides the spiritual energy he borrowed and never returned, Zhou Yun felt that the spiritual energy he borrowed and returned was also somewhat different.

When Zhou Yun used psionic energy on Nocturne, the psionic energy he used naturally included the psionic energy from faith. That energy also smoothly merged into the fire cycle of Nocturne and was eventually smoothly absorbed by the World Serpent without causing any rejection reaction.

Is that correct?

These world snakes eat everything...

The World Serpent itself was shaped by the myths, legends, and beliefs of Nocturne, and the faith directed at Zhou Yun flowed into their bodies... Zhou Yun was somewhat worried that this might have some consequences.

However, there aren't many believers pointing to Zhou Yun these days, and even fewer can flow into the Nocturne Star Cycle. It's probably not that easy to influence the World Serpent, which has accumulated thousands of years of faith and been shaped by the entire Nocturne Star mythology.

Zhou Yun shook his head and began to focus on a more practical question: how was he going to lift those two axes?

He pinched his brow, channeling the spiritual energy he had just recovered, and with great effort, he made the two axes overcome gravity and float up, following behind him.

Zhou Yun wheeled himself into the streets of Anite. Most of the free people of Anite already knew Zhou Yun; his image as a burned man in a wheelchair was too distinctive.

Some free citizens wanted to come up and help, but when they saw Zhou Yun's wheelchair turning on its own and two terrifying giant axes following behind him, they quickly stepped back and made room for Zhou Yun and the two axes.

This feels so familiar... It seems like something similar happened in Deshya before.

Zhou Yun couldn't help but shake his head. It was an unexpected but positive outcome. Whether it was Anit or Deshya, the free people began to show their faith in him.

But those beliefs...

The vast majority of them referred to Zhou Yun and Anglong as liberators, expressing gratitude for the liberation they brought.

But... there are also some beliefs that are more abstract...

"Quack! It's the pro gamer Avenger! He's going to sterilize all the high-level riders!"

"I heard that he and Angron are detachable two-headed giants; Angron is the head of strength, and he is the head of wisdom."

"That's a rumor. I heard that Angron is actually a flesh-and-blood mech, and Zhou Yun is its pilot."

"That's a rumor too. Zhou Yun is actually a flesh-and-blood mech. The Butcher's Nail on his head is the real pilot."

o

"Bullshit, Zhou Yun is actually Anglong's biological brother..."

"What I heard is that Zhou Yun is Anglong's father."

"I heard it's the other way around, that Anglong is Zhou Yun's father..."

Even though it sounded like bullshit, their words carried a sense of awe, which was seen as faith flowing towards Zhou Yun, so Zhou Yun could hear their whispers. However, these rumors were not entirely without merit.

After all, this faith truly flowed towards Zhou Yun, and Zhou Yun's next plan in Macurag was also genuinely...

Faith is needed on the ground.

Now, with the faith of Deshya and Anit, plus the faith contributed by the idol named Star Torch in the Shattered Lighthouse Temple of Macrag, Zhou Yun felt that his needs were probably met, and he could try to move on to the next step of the plan.

When Zhou Yun found Anglong, Anglong was next to the granary of Anite, standing side by side with Flami and several free citizens of Anite, looking at the documents and forms in their hands.

"Your Excellency Anglon, as you can see, there are a total of fourteen villages near the city of Anite, plus eight villages near Deshia, making a total of twenty-two."

"In the past, the mainstay of Anet's economy was cheap wine. The villages produced grapes, which were then brought to the city's wineries to be brewed, stored in warehouses by the docks, and transported to other city-states of Nusseria via the Anet River and the coast."

"But this kind of trade is probably unsustainable," Angron said, shaking his head. "The Coastal Alliance won't stand idly by, and Shapur City will likely react soon."

"The grapes are good, and the wine is good, but what we need more now are wheat, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. Tomorrow I'll go to the village to see if we can switch to growing some staple crops."

"Al, you're the head of the winery association. I only have one request for you: keep the winery owners at ease."

"Make the workers understand that the suspension of the wine trade is only temporary, and that it will resume as we liberate more and more cities. But for now, they have to reduce production."

"Fran, you'll need to get involved in this as well. Make sure you fulfill our previous promises and distribute the high-ranking riders' assets as soon as possible."

Give it to the free people, let them become wealthy, and encourage them to consume the wine stockpile.

"Rado, I know you used to be a traveling merchant and have connections with the free merchant associations of many city-states. Could you think of a way to disguise our wine as being produced in other cities and sell it at a lower price?"

Angron methodically flipped through the documents in his hands while continuously conversing with the free people around him.

Zhou Yun watched this scene from a distance and told Anglong that if you want to be a liberator, you have to actually rule.

After listening to Zhou Yun's words, Anglong began to learn how to govern a city.

To help him study, Zhou Yun even had Robert select several books on rule and governance, using the phrase "move!"

"Thing!" The teleportation message arrived. Macurag and Nuseria weren't far apart, and their languages ​​were basically the same.

"Old Zhou." Anglong saw Zhou Yun, let out a weary sigh, and gestured for the free people to leave.

"How does it feel?" Zhou Yun asked, looking at the report that Anglong was holding.

"Fortunately, I learn very quickly. I've already grasped economics, trade, shipping, and administrative systems. It's as if I was born to do this." Anglong shook his head. "It just feels more tiring than going to the battlefield."

"Trade between Anet, Deshya and other city-states will be disrupted. Large quantities of wine will be left unsold. If the wine cannot be sold, the wineries will go bankrupt, the workers will not receive their wages, the farmers will not be able to sell their grapes, and other industries will also be affected."

"Fortunately, the high-ranking riders have accumulated enough wealth to appease the people and boost wine consumption in the city. However, this will not last long. We need to prepare to take over more cities. Recently, many free men have signed up for the army. Onomamus will train them."

"And also... wait, what are these two axes?"

Anglong was completely absorbed in city governance, rattling off the problems he encountered until he noticed the two axes floating behind Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun looked at Anglong and couldn't help but laugh out loud. For some reason, he felt that he saw a ghost in Anglong... a ghost named Robert Guilliman.

Anglon learned governance from the books of Macuragra, which were selected by Robert, and he was influenced by Robert to some extent.

"Here's your weapon."

The two axes fell to the ground with a thud.

Upon hearing this, Anglong's eyes lit up, and he reached out and picked up two axes.

"I can feel the power contained within them..."

He pulled the trigger of the chainsaw, and the scorpion-like teeth on it whirred and spun, as if gnawing at the surrounding air.

So, Anglong gripped the handle of one of the axes tightly, his arm muscles and veins bulging. Anglong swung the axe violently, and in an instant, the howling of a hurricane resounded across the field. The surging air swept across Zhou Yun's face, and Zhou Yun almost thought that the whole world was distorted with Anglong's swing.

"Do they have names?" Angron examined the axe in his hand repeatedly, his voice filled with obvious fondness.

"Yes." Zhou Yun had been waiting for Anglong's question for a long time.

"Angron, I will face your enemy with righteousness, not with anger."

"so..

'

"This is the axe of benevolence."

"This is the axe of righteousness."

"Benevolence? Righteousness?" Anglong was a little puzzled by the meaning of these two syllables.

"The meaning of 'ren' is benevolence, and the meaning of 'yi' is justice." Zhou Yun stretched out his hand and gestured the characters for "ren" and "yi" in the air.

"It is said that in ancient Terra, there were two strong and revered sages, one of whom was the benevolent and righteous Kong."

Brother, one of them is Brother Meng, who is both righteous and benevolent. They led a group of virtuous gentlemen and, from this benevolence and righteousness, they learned the axe of benevolence and the axe of righteousness.

Zhou Yun explained to Anglong in a serious tone, "For benevolent people, the Axe of Benevolence and the Axe of Righteousness are what protect their benevolence and justice."

"For the unrighteous and immoral, the axe of benevolence is the axe that splits a person in two, and the axe of righteousness is the axe that smashes a person's head into their torso."

"I hope that you, like Brother Kong and Brother Meng, will use benevolence and justice to protect the righteous and righteous, and smash the unrighteous and unjust people in two and into their bodies."

"I see, I understand now."

Anglong nodded solemnly, gently stroking the two axes with his fingers, and murmured softly, "The axe of benevolence, the axe of righteousness..."

'

"This is the Ruthless Sword." Zhou Yun solemnly handed the short sword in his hand to Robert Guilliman in front of him.

"Teacher, are you trying not to laugh?"
