It seems that because I killed their original Beast King, they now recognize me as the new Beast King.
Looking at the dozens of pig-headed people kneeling on the ground, although they all exuded a strong stench, their expressions gave off a feeling of flattery.
"What should we do with them?" Benio asked. "They are all affected by the plague god. It is impossible to take them back."
Although the New Beastmen and Chaos Beastmen are the same species affected by different divine powers, there is no possibility of fusion between them. Benio is very curious about how the Son of God will deal with these Chaos Beastmen.
Benio and her sheep beastmen didn't know, but the new beastmen brought by Lind were all veterans. Without saying anything, the new beastmen each found a big and thick branch and prepared to start preaching.
"What are you doing?" Benio watched as Lind's new beastmen surrounded the pig-headed people. "Are you going to kill them?"
Killing all the Chaos Beastmen is cruel, but understandable.
"Kill them? No, no, no, that's too wasteful." Lind took off the clothes he had just put on, revealing his muscular body and the sacred mark of the Earth Mother on his chest. Compared to the previous one, this sacred mark was deeper and clearer. "I want them to convert to the Earth Mother."
"Are you going to preach?" Benio looked at Linde with shining eyes.
"You'll know in a moment." Lind also picked up a wooden stick, weighed it in his hand, and then suddenly rushed towards the pig-headed man closest to him.
"Convert to the Mother Goddess of Earth!" Linde hit the pig-headed man with a stick without holding back.
Linde took the lead, and other new beastmen also raised wooden sticks and rushed towards the defenseless pig-headed people. Even Schnee rushed over with a short wooden stick to join in the fun. The surrounded pig-headed people were defenseless and were knocked down in a large number in an instant.
It happened so suddenly that all the sheep new beastmen were unable to react. They stared blankly at what was happening before their eyes with their eyes wide open.
I had thought I would see a wonderful missionary activity, after all, it was the first son of Mother Earth who was preaching in person. But it turned out that the so-called missionary work was just beating with a big stick?
"Chief, is the Son of God going to kill these Chaos Beastmen?" After watching for a while, a ewe behind Benio timidly asked Benio. "If so, why use a stick? Wouldn't it be better to use a weapon?"
"The Son of God said this was missionary work." Benio rolled his eyes.
"Preaching!?"
"Yeah." Benio looked at the first pig-headed person who was knocked to the ground by a stick. Her body had already rotted and transformed, and the flesh on her front paws fell off, revealing a white and fleshy palm.
--------
A camp for human immigrants.
Eleven days have passed since the camp construction officer, Lind Lane, left the camp with almost all the new beastmen. During these eleven days, the progress of camp construction has slowed down significantly due to the sudden loss of so many laborers.
Without the new beastmen to hunt, fresh meat suddenly became scarce, and they could only rely on the stock and the support of the new beastmen's allies. Also, without the new beastmen's strong bodies, the renewal of the buildings in the camp was also much slower.
The iron ore that was transported here before was almost consumed. With the full magical support of Elisa, the blacksmith shop was producing 60 kilograms of iron every day. This was already an astonishing amount, but according to Lind, it was still too little.
If the construction speed had just slowed down, it would have been fine. However, Linde's departure had an unexpected impact on the people's hearts. Eleven days later, the serfs were already talking about Linde and the new beastmen parting ways with Lady Ilufa.
Even the ignorant serfs could see Lind's influence on the camp, especially the three decrees, which were first announced by Lind.
If Linde was gone, would they have no meat to eat? This thought came to many serfs' minds, and some even thought of leaving the camp to look for Linde. If it weren't for another rumor.
"Lord Linde is leaving? Impossible, absolutely impossible. Let me tell you, Lord Linde has been adopted as the madam's godson. How could a son abandon his mother?" Stanley, the blacksmith who went to the mine with Linde and looked a bit like a gorilla, said during a group dinner.
Soon, the rumor spread throughout the camp. Linde was Ilufa's son, and a son would never abandon his mother. This statement successfully dispelled the serfs' worries.
As one of the parties involved in the rumor, Ilfa had no intention of stopping it.
"Mom, I'm back." Alyssa dragged her tired body back. "Today's iron smelting task is completed."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Illufa nodded to Alisa. "Thank you for your hard work during this period."
"I just hope Linde can bring the stone back successfully, so that I can be free." Elisa sat down on the chair and complained.
Ilfa smiled. The task of heating the furnace was over, but there were definitely other things that required Elisa's magic, such as planting the next batch of crops.
A few days ago, the first batch of grain was successfully harvested. It was a bumper harvest. The camp will not have to worry about food problems for at least the next six months.
There was a bumper grain harvest and Efit's winemaking was also a success. During the time that Lind was away, good news came one after another. All that was left was for Lind to bring the stone back and everyone would be happy.
"Madam!" Just then, Ram, who was on duty at the gate today, came to report excitedly. "Baron Linde is back! He brought a large group of pigs with him!"
Chapter 169: Pig Beast Man
As a countess, Ilufa is quite satisfied with her current life. Although she doesn't have as many servants as before, doesn't have a luxurious residence, and has to do many things that were originally given to servants herself, and her residence has become a simple tent, Ilufa is still very satisfied with her current life.
Life was indeed much more inconvenient, but compared to the boring life of a noblewoman in the past, Ilufa still preferred the present. She didn't have to waste time in those hypocritical social activities and could use her magic skills. Although her living conditions were far worse than before, the feeling of getting better every day made Ilufa very happy.
The happiness in life does not come from the stock, but from the increment. This theory is very suitable for Ilufa now.
Not only Ilufa, the atmosphere in the entire camp was similar. The originally numb serfs now had happy smiles on their faces while working. The war nuns who came from the Holy Empire regardless of everything seemed to have some new insights. Even Elisa, who had always complained that Linde treated her like a cow, would show a smile of achievement every time she talked about today's work.
This joy reached its peak the day before yesterday, because the grain was harvested, and it was a bumper harvest. These fine varieties that had been selected and bred, with the blessing of the power of the Mother Earth, completed the harvest in just one month.
Normally, a celebration should be held to celebrate the harvest, which is also the tradition in many places, but Ilufa did not do so because someone did not come back.
And the person who has been waiting has finally come back.
"Madam!" Ram, the knight who was in charge of guarding the camp gate today, reported to Ilfa. "Baron Lind! He's back!"
Not long ago, Linde had been promoted by Ilufa from a lord with only an empty title to a baron with fiefdom. Of course, the title was still nominally conferred in the name of Ilufa's husband.
Ram has served the Gaines family for nearly ten years, and has made many contributions. He is still a knight. To be honest, Ram was a little jealous that Linde was canonized as a baron before he came of age, but he also understood that this was obtained by Linde's real ability.
It's not only based on ability, but also on connections.
"Linde is finally back!?" In the tent, Ilufa excitedly dropped the documents in his hand and ran directly out of the tent. His movements were so fast and his emotions were so excited that he was just like a wife welcoming her husband returning from afar.
Eliza was a step slower, and although she was very tired, she still ran out with her mother to greet Lind.
"Madam." At the door of the tent, Ram saw Ilufa coming out and saluted to her. "Baron Linde is back."
"I've seen it." Ilfa saw the entrance of the camp at a glance. There was a large group of people gathered there, and then Ilfa immediately saw Linde who was walking in front.
Due to his age, Linde, who is only 1.4 meters tall, looks so petite when standing next to the tall new beastmen.
Ilufa immediately ran over excitedly. Seeing his wife's excitement, Ram showed a faint smile that showed he saw through everything. During this period, the people in the camp were somewhat unstable because of Linde's departure. As a result, it didn't take long for the rumor that Linde was adopted by Ilufa as his son to spread at a very fast speed.
The rumor spread so quickly, in addition to the lack of entertainment in the camp, an important reason was that the serfs had nothing to brag about in their spare time except chatting. However, Ram, who was born as a mercenary and had rich experience in the martial arts world, still keenly felt that this rumor was deliberately promoted by someone.
When he thought of this, the look in Ram's eyes when he looked at Ilfa and Elisa, mother and daughter, became somewhat meaningful.
Before Ilfa and Elisa ran over, they saw from a distance that Linde, who had just returned, was directing the new beastmen to put down the things they had brought back.
When he was halfway through the run, Ilfa slowed down and the smile on his face faded because Ilfa saw a special scene.
"Master! All the things have been put away!" A strange new beastman, after putting all the things down, ran to Lind with an extremely excited expression and reported to Lind in a very energetic manner.
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Linde nodded to the strange new beastman. "You should take a rest first. I will discuss with my wife how to accommodate you later."
"Yes!" After the strange new beastman performed an unprecedented courtesy to Lind, he walked to a nearby side, sat down and rested, as if in a daze.
Not only her, but about forty beastmen like her sat down in unison, staring at the scenery in a daze.
This was another group of new beastmen transformed by Lind. Ilfa reacted quickly because they obeyed Lind's orders completely, and Ilfa also heard what Lind had just said.
But the appearance of these new beastmen...
"Are those pigs?" Elisa walked over to her mother and looked at the new beastmen in surprise. "Is Linde really not picky about food?"
Ilufa glared at Alisa, and Alisa shrank her head. But then, the same thought came to Ilufa's mind.
Isn't Linde picky about food? How come all the beasts were transformed?
Ilufa deliberately slowed down his pace for observation. This group of new beastmen with pig features were all wearing very simple clothes and had plump bodies. Although they were looking at the scenery, their eyes were fierce, as if they were ready to fight at any time.
However... Ilfa noticed that whenever the eyes of this group of pig beastmen swept over Linde, their gazes would become fanatical. To exaggerate a little, they were comparable to the fanatics of the Church of the God-Emperor that Ilfa had seen.
After the cavalry, is it the heavy infantry? Ilufa thought that this group of pig beastmen, just by looking at their size, they are definitely first-class heavy infantry.
At this moment, Linde, who was directing people to put things down, also saw Ilfa and Elisa, mother and daughter, walking towards him.
"Madam! Miss! I'm back!" Linde immediately saluted the two of them.
As Linde saluted, all the wild boars looked at Ilfa and Elisa in unison. At that moment, both mother and daughter felt as if they were being attacked by dozens of wild boars at the same time.
"I brought back the Salaman Stone!" Linde reported to Ilfa excitedly without noticing. "In addition to the stone, I also brought back a lot of good things!"
"Explain to me what's going on with them first!" Ilfa interrupted Linde and pointed at the pigs and asked.
Chapter 170 Linde's Harvest
As the Countess, the de facto supreme ruler of the entire camp, Ilfa should have been accustomed to being the center of attention. But at this moment, being stared at by a group of new beastmen at the same time, Ilfa only felt a huge pressure.
Not only Ilfa, but also Alisa who followed closely behind felt the same way.
Unlike the pigs in the world before Lind traveled through time, the pigs in this world are standard beasts. The threat posed by them is not much less than that of various large cats. Countless nobles have died at the hands of wild boars, not to mention being noticed by such a large group of pigs all at once.
Although it was just a salute, Ilfa and Elisa still felt like they were being pushed by a group of pigs. Especially from the eyes of these pigs, the mother and daughter felt a sense of threat.
It seemed like these pigs were really going to run over here. What was Lind trying to do by bringing these dangerous beastmen over here? Was he rebelling?
"Them." Lind turned his head and looked at the group of pigs resting in the same place. When Lind looked over, the group of pigs immediately changed their expressions and looked at Lind with extremely docile eyes.
The changes happened so fast that both mother and daughter were stunned.
"They are the original residents of the Fire Pig Tribe. They were originally Chaos Beastmen, but now they have been convinced by my superb preaching and have abandoned their belief in the evil God of Plague and converted to believe in the Mother Earth." Lind explained.
Missionary? And superb? Alisa rolled her eyes while hiding behind Ilufa. That kind of physical missionary method has nothing to do with superb skills. Alisa felt that she could do it herself.
Just as Alisa rolled her eyes, she felt a murderous aura the next moment. Several pig beastmen, with eyes full of anger, glared at Alisa as if she had blasphemed their gods.
But when Lind's eyes swept over the pigs, they seemed to change their faces and in an instant became well-behaved and docile again.
This switch is too fast! Alisa roared in her heart.
Linde still didn't notice the quick change in the expressions of his group of sows, and continued to happily tell the mother and daughter about his experiences during this period, especially the battle with the beastmen possessed by the god of plague.
However, Lind did not say everything, he was also selective. For example, he did not mention the matter of the green-skinned Oak messing with Kamaoka.
"Where is the corpse of the beastman possessed by the Plague God?" When Linde was halfway through his story, the chief nun of the Sisters of War, Shanoya, came over and listened to Linde's story. "The corpse of the Plague God's followers is a big source of infection. If it is not purified, it will easily cause an uncontrollable plague."
"Don't worry, Sister. I have already taken care of the things you are worried about." Linde said confidently. "Not only the corpse, but also all the places that have attracted the power of the Plague God. I have purified them."
"With the power of Mother Earth?"
"Use flames." Lind gave a thumbs-up. "No microorganism can survive the high temperatures of flames."
"Microorganism?" The unfamiliar term made Shanoya stunned.
Not only Shanoya, but also the holy mark of Mother Earth on Lind's chest felt hot at this moment. Mother Earth was also paying attention to what Lind said.
This world has no concept of microorganisms, and the same goes for the understanding of the causes of disease. In Lind's mind, he can find at least three different theories of disease in this world.
Theory of fluid imbalance, theory of divine punishment, theory of epidemic gas entering the body, etc. Linde cannot say that these theories are wrong, nor can he be sure that his theories in his previous life are still correct in this world.
Although according to observation, the human body structure in this world is not much different from that in the previous life, and aseptic methods such as boiling water to wash hands and take a bath can also reduce the occurrence of diseases, Lind still cannot conclude that the pathogenic mechanism of this world is the same as that in the previous life.
Judging from the decay phenomenon, microorganisms should be present, but... to be on the safe side, let's find a way to confirm it first.
It is not difficult to determine whether microorganisms exist. All you need to do is make a microscope. A microscope is not difficult to make. A lens can be used. There is glass in this world, but it seems not to be very transparent.
He evaded the topic. His sudden interest in microorganisms came from witnessing the power of the plague god. In such a short period of time, healthy organisms were transformed into such a horrible state. As a doctor, Lind must understand at least the transmission routes of the three elements of infectious diseases.
Judging from the reaction of the Mother Earth, she seemed to have no idea what microorganisms were. The God of Plague, who was of the same origin as her, probably didn't know either. Based on this, Lind suddenly developed a great interest in this god who was closely related to life and disease.
The microorganism issue was evaded. After hearing that Linde burned the bodies of the beastmen affected by the Plague God with fire, Shanoya also gave her approval. In the absence of the power of the Emperor of God to purify, using fire is also a good way to deal with the corruption of the Plague God.
Then, everyone discussed the problems of this group of pig beastmen, the most critical one of which was the issue of loyalty.
This group of pigs is obviously different from the other new beastmen.
"Linde, are they safe?" Ilufa asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, they are very safe." Linde answered confidently. "They have recognized me as the King of Beasts and are very loyal. The leader of the sheep tribe, Benio, also told me that as long as I am not dead or defeated, they will be very loyal, even if I order them to die."
Beast King!? After reading the paper, Ilfa's mouth twitched.
"In that case, then I can't say anything." Ilufa sighed. He is the Son of God and his vassal. According to the vassal law, the lord has no right to interfere with the vassal's army.
"But..." Ilfa narrowed his eyes.
"lady?"
"...No, nothing." Ilfa shook her head and did not ask the question in her mind, "Why are there sows here?"
The pig issue was resolved, and then came the most important thing, Lind's harvest.
When talking about this, Linde was extremely happy and showed Ilufa what he had brought back.
