Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

Because of their inner piety and awe of the gods they believe in, most believers dare not ask questions to gods casually. The communication between believers and gods is mostly one-sided, with believers praying to gods.

Although they doubted Lind's identity, when Lind took off his shirt and revealed the sacred mark of the Earth Mother on his chest, all doubts disappeared without a trace. The breath of the Earth Mother, which was much stronger than that of any believer, emanated from the boy's chest. If he was not the son of the Earth Mother, then no one could be the son of God.

Seeing the Son of God's excitement, all the new beastmen present prostrated themselves on the ground, and several female new beastmen even became incontinent on the spot.

Fortunately, the air was filled with the body odor of the new beastmen, and the smell of the liquid was completely covered. Linde, who was worshipped by many new beastmen, resisted the urge to shout "No kneeling", and at the same time, he could feel a force gathering on the holy scar on his chest.

This is divine power, Lind knew.

Every time he preached to the Chaos Beastmen and transformed them into new Beastmen, Lind could feel some power coming out of the holy scar on his chest. The feeling now was the same as then, except that this time it was absorbed inside instead of radiating outward. This power was the power of the Mother Earth.

Just like magic, Lind also thought about the essence of divine power and the difference between divine power and magic. Based on the current known situation, the use of divine power and magic is very different, and the sources of power are completely different. Magic is free in nature, while divine power comes from God.

Then the question arises again, where does God's power come from? According to the law of conservation of energy, God's power must have a source and cannot come out of nothing.

Now it seems that God's power should come from the faith of believers.

The power of spirit?

The new beastmen prostrated themselves on the ground, cheering. After Lind felt the stigma on his chest, he raised his hand to signal them to stop kneeling.

After receiving the signal from the Son of God, the new beastmen stood up one after another, looking at Lind's excited expression.

If Lind wanted to, he could become the ruler of this group of new beastmen and the beast king of Aiwozhen Island as the son of God. But Lind didn't want to do that, for no other reason than that he was not used to it.

After all the new beastmen stood up, Lind said loudly: "My fellow new beastmen, I have felt your devout belief in the Mother Earth. I admit that I do have a relationship with the Mother Earth. She has always called me her son."

"I already know why you are here. It's because of the invasion of Chaos Beastmen, right?" Lind continued loudly.

"That's right!" Lu Ge answered loudly. "Now the most powerful beast king among the Chaos Beastmen, Lion King Mara, has marched towards us again. Not only the new beastmen, but also several tribes of Chaos Beastmen have been wiped out!"

Led by Lu Ge, the new beastmen shamans explained the current situation to Linde one by one.

Just as Fran said, now the most powerful Chaos Beastman King on the Island of Ivozhen, Lion King Mara, has led all the Chaos Beastmen under his command and is heading towards Lind's camp.

Although Lion King Mara's ultimate target was Linde, there were many other tribes along the way, and the Chaos Beastmen also needed to eat, so all the tribes along the way suffered.

During this journey, Lion King Mara's team fought everyone regardless of their opponents, whether they were Chaos Beastmen or New Beastmen, and immediately killed them all. Due to Lion King Mara's march, many Chaos Beastmen who were no match for him were forced to move into the territory of the New Beastmen, and then clashed with the New Beastmen.

Like a chain reaction, the entire Aiwozhen Island fell into a state of vitality and development. Many new beastmen who had just experienced chaos had to take up arms again and fight for survival.

Not to mention listening to their stories, just looking at the expressions on their faces, you can tell that they feel "numb".

It feels terrible to play twice in a short period of time without even time to rebuild.

But in this way, Linde could understand their fanatical kneeling behavior. In connection with the two wars, these new beastmen urgently needed a backbone, a leader who could lead them to fight back against the Chaos Beastmen.

Although this leader was the direct reason why Lion King Mara attacked.

Fran had already told us about Lion King Mara. According to Fran, it would take at least two months for Lion King Mara to attack. For various reasons, Linde had not been able to investigate Lion King Mara before. Now, by asking these new beastmen, Linde got more accurate and detailed information.

The time Fran said was correct. It would take Lion King Mara's troops about 40 days to arrive, but the number of troops was wrong. Fran said that Lion King Mara's troops would be around 5,000 to 6,000. According to the new beastmen who had contact with Lion King Mara's troops, Lion King Mara's troops would be more than 8,000.

At the beginning, Lion King Mara's team did have only about five or six thousand people, but after the team set out, as conflicts came into play with other Chaos Beastmen tribes, Lion King Mara also absorbed a number of Chaos Beastmen into his team, further expanding the team.

For the camp, there is actually not much difference between 6,000 and 8,000. After all, the entire camp has only a hundred people. For a hundred people, there is no essential difference between fighting 6,000 or 8,000.

After figuring out the number of enemies, Lind asked the new beastmen present how many new beastmen could be mobilized in total, and the answer he got was about five thousand.

At least it's of the same order of magnitude.

Since the enemy is so powerful, it is hopeless for any one side to fight alone, so there is no problem in forming an alliance. As for the identity of the leader of the alliance, Linde accepted it first. As for the relationship between himself and Ilufa as a vassal and feudal lord, there is no need to say it and will talk about it later.

After becoming the leader of the alliance, Lind immediately issued his first order.

"Let's register first."

Chapter 147 He Won’t Fail

When you arrive at the camp, no matter who you are, the first thing you need to do is to register, and then make arrangements for the next step.

The same is true for the more than one hundred people who came today, but because there are more important things, the registration of the situation of these more than one hundred people is the responsibility of the team leaders of each working group. After all the registrations are completed, they will be summarized and submitted.

These new beastmen do not belong to the camp and do not need to register. However, Lind wants them to register for something else.

Registration of available forces.

Now that we have decided to form an alliance and a coalition force, we need to find out how many people each tribe has and how many troops they can contribute.

Since the registration content was not complicated, it was completed quickly and a relatively detailed summary of the new Beastmen's military strength was completed.

Lind knew very little about fighting, both before and after the time travel. Before the time travel, he was a doctor, who had no idea how to fight, and after the time travel, he was a knight's squire, who was not old enough to learn how to fight.

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Lind handed over the collected information about the new beastmen's military strength to the two knights, Ram and Winter, and asked them to study the military strength situation.

After the registration was over, Linde planned to disband the camp. The camp was so small that it could only support the existing people. It was neither realistic nor necessary to gather so many new beastmen now.

Before disbanding, Lind ordered the new beastmen who were good at reconnaissance to closely monitor the movements of the lion king Mara and report any situation at any time. In addition, Lind also issued an order to gather some elite soldiers with strong combat effectiveness to follow him in a small sneak attack tomorrow.

The target of the sneak attack was the Chaos Beastman tribe that had the Salaman Stone.

After a brief alliance ceremony, the new beastmen who had gathered dispersed one after another and scattered to various tribes not far away. The distance was not too far, and as long as they could scout the movements of the lion king Mara, they could complete the assembly of all the troops in two days at most.

With people here, the importance of weapons is self-evident. Now that there are enough troops, the plan to seize the Salaman Stone can be implemented.

Nothing happened that night. In order to prepare for tomorrow's action, Linde rested up and went to bed early. Early the next morning, the new elite beastmen arrived at the camp as scheduled.

But this so-called elite...

"Are you the elite I requested?"

"Yes, Master Shenzi."

"What about the rest?"

"That's all of us."

Lind looked at the nearly forty new beastmen in front of him with a frown. They were the elite soldiers that Lind had requested.

The new beastmen did send a team as agreed, but this team was a little different from what he had imagined.

Because these so-called elite soldiers are nothing but a group of sheep!

These forty new beastmen were about the same height as humans, and were not as tall as the other new beastmen. Except for their horns, ears, and sheep-shaped hooves, they looked no different from humans.

Due to their size, although the body structure of the new beastmen is similar to that of humans, people still subconsciously think that they are not the same species as humans. The group of sheep new beastmen in front of us look almost the same as humans.

And I don’t know if it’s intentional or what, but there are more females in this flock of sheep…

"This..." Lind looked at the leader of the team of sheep, a sheep-like beastman who looked to be about twenty-four or twenty-five years old and had a black mole at the corner of his mouth.

"You can call me Benio, Lord Son of God." The adopted daughter named Benio tilted her head and smiled charmingly.

"Nice to meet you, Ms. Benio..."

"Miss."

"Ms. Benio." A drop of sweat appeared on Lind's forehead. "It's not that I don't trust you. Do you know our mission?"

"Of course I know." Benio said immediately. "We want to launch a surprise attack on the Fire Pig Tribe in the north of the mountain range, right?"

"Fire pig?"

"It's the Chaos Beastmen tribe that the Son of God mentioned that can use burning weapons. They are our neighbors and we have been dealing with them for a long time." Benio said.

Although she was smiling, Benio's smile did not show any kindness, but rather concealed anger.

Miss, you won't be blessed by the Blood God while fighting, right?

It seems that this group of sheep has a grudge against the target pigs, and they are neighbors and familiar with the enemy, so they volunteered. This is easy to say, but...

Linde looked awkwardly at Fenrir standing beside him, and the wolf team that was ready to set off. Sheep and wolves fighting side by side, is this some kind of Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf movie?

But forget it, judging from their expressions, it seems that there is no problem. The wolves did not grind their teeth, and the sheep did not show any fear. After a brief explanation and a final check of the supplies and equipment, Lind led a group of sheep, a group of wolves, three cows and a ferret and set off.

Before leaving, Linde glanced towards the lord's tent. Ilufa did not come out to see him off, but a pretty figure could be seen at the window.

Because of the distance, Lind couldn't tell whether the figure was the mother or the daughter. The two looked very similar, and it was difficult to tell them apart if you couldn't see their clothes from a distance. He gestured goodbye to the figure in the window and set off.

From the window of the tent, Ilufa watched Linde leave. When Linde waved at him, Ilufa also smiled and waved back.

It’s not that Ilufa didn’t want to see him off, it’s just that Ilufa couldn’t hold on any longer.

"Ah~" Behind Ilfa, Alisa complained loudly. "Mom, I can't hold on any longer! My brain can't work anymore! Let me rest for a while~"

Ilufa turned around and looked at her daughter who was sitting at the table. At this time, Alisa's face was already full of fairy spirit, enough to compete with the giant panda.

"It's only been one night and you can't do it anymore?" Ilfa laughed strangely.

"Mom, do you want to listen to what you are saying!" Alisa protested with dead eyes.

"When your mother and I were working on our graduation thesis, we didn't sleep for three days and three nights." Ilufa crossed his arms and said, "And I didn't ask you to do it alone, I just asked you to do some supplementary work."

Eliza bit her lip and looked at her mother unconvinced, unable to refute because what her mother said was true.

At this moment, Ilufa's face was no less fairy-like than her daughter's. The mother and daughter did not sleep for a minute last night, and worked all night on the design of the magic runes for the blacksmith shop.

Although in theory only basic runes of the point and line level are needed, how to connect these runes requires precise design by the magician.

"Why are we in such a hurry? What if we don't bring back the Salaman Stone..." Elisa complained.

"No." Illufa was confident. "Linde will not fail."

Chapter 148: The Dawn of the Magic Industry

The importance of steel is self-evident. No matter what era it is, iron is a vital part of a civilization, whether it is an agricultural society or an industrial society.

At this time in the camp, iron is an indispensable part, whether it is facing the upcoming army of Chaos Beastmen or further expanding productivity. However, the daily iron output of 60 kilograms is too low, and the new Beastmen who come to support do not have much metal ironware, so increasing iron ore production is urgent.

How to drastically increase iron production in such a short period of time can only be done by magic. As for how to do it specifically, Ilufa and Linde divided the work and acted separately.

Ilufa was responsible for designing new magic runes, while Linde was responsible for collecting the crucial Shaloman Stones. Since it was the first time for Ilufa to design magic runes with this idea, there were a lot of details that needed to be perfected, and time was tight, so Ilufa designed it overnight without closing his eyes for a minute.

Not only himself, Ilufa also asked his daughter to help. Although Alisa was only a triangle-level magic apprentice and had not yet graduated according to the magician's standards, according to Ilufa's thinking, designing this kind of rune only required point-line level magic runes, and Alisa's knowledge was enough.

"Mom, do you really believe that Lind will succeed?" Seeing her mother's trust in Lind, Alyssa couldn't help but wonder. "Salamanite is very rare. There are not many in the entire Holy Empire. Is there really such an island?"

"Linde said that the Earth Mother Goddess told him that there is, so it must be there." Ilufa said affirmatively. "I believe in Linde, he will definitely succeed."

"…Are you so sure?"

"Of course." Ilufa said confidently. "Has Lind ever disappointed us so far?"

"...No." After a brief silence, Alisa admitted reluctantly.

Alisa's attitude towards Lind has changed drastically many times. Since their first meeting, Alisa's attitude has been changing constantly.

When they first met, Elisa had a great impression of Lind. He suddenly appeared in desperate situations, saved her, and he was also good-looking. It would be strange if she didn't have a high impression of him.

After that, until she rescued her mother Ilfa, Elisa's affection for Linde reached its peak, and then Ilfa suddenly wanted to adopt Linde as her son.

Alisa, who had always been an only child, suddenly had a younger brother. Of course, Alisa instinctively opposed it, and her favorability dropped a lot. After a series of interactions, it recovered a little, but now it has been beaten down again.

The reason why the favorability level dropped was because of the requirements for choosing a spouse asked by the mother.

At that time, Alisa was just exaggerating, and she had a set of demanding mate selection requirements that were normal individually but almost impossible to add up. As a result, she realized afterwards that the son of a certain earth goddess completely met her mate selection requirements. Alisa realized that Ilufa had already had a goal in mind, and she thought of it before she finished speaking. Now the way she looked at Linde was almost the same as a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

As the saying goes, the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she loves him. In Elisa's opinion, her mother has already decided on Lind.

Alisa didn't want to get married in the first place. After all, she had seen her parents' failed marriage, so she made such an outrageous request. Although her mother hadn't pointed it out yet, Alisa was sure that her mother had already decided that Lind would be her son-in-law.

Since the words have been spoken, and the patches I thought of, such as the illegitimate child, have not really defeated the devil, they are all untenable, and it is almost impossible for me to regret it. If I still want to stop it, I can only think of other ways.

For example, let Lind take the initiative to marry another woman...

Ilfa was not aware of her daughter's inner thoughts, nor could she be aware of them. After all, Ilfa could not read minds, and she had been practicing immortality for a whole night, so her thinking was slow.

After watching Linde leave from the main gate of the camp and disappear from his sight, Illufal closed the curtains and walked towards Elisa as if he had replenished some energy.

"How is the design of the magic rune going?" Ilfa asked his daughter Alisa.

"Although there are still some details that have not been perfected, such as the size of the magic flow of different magic runes, it has been basically completed." Alisa said, handing the composite magic rune she had drawn to Ilfa to see.

This composite magic rune was designed by Ilufa and perfected with his daughter. Unlike normal circular runes, this magic rune is an irregular rune composed of different runes, starting with a huge charging magic rune and connecting several fire heating runes.

The entire magic rune is roughly divided into two parts, the magic power supply part and the magic power launching part, that is, the charging part and the working part. The charging part is roughly composed of two parts, the charging rune that absorbs free magic power from the air and the salaman stone that stores and releases magic power. The working part is simple, which is the most basic fire point-level rune heating.

By connecting the two parts of the magic rune, magic can be used without the need for a magician. This is easier said than done. For example, how much magic flow should be used for the magic rune used for heating? Too much magic flow will cause overload and cause danger. How ordinary people can start and cut off the magic rune, all of which need to be designed in detail.
