Wearing black silk for a foreign woman

If we expand further...

"Madam!" Lind immediately looked at Ilufa. "Do you have enough shalomanite left in the camp to use the explosion technique you used to blow up the iron ore a few times?!"

"Huh?" Illufa was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "About twice. Explosion is a very powerful magic that requires a lot of magic power."

"Then, how about this?" Lind gestured. "Draw the magic runes of the explosion technique on an iron box or something similar in the same way as a magic weapon, and then wrap a large enough shaloman stone in the middle of the iron box?"

Ilufa's eyes lit up instantly, and he understood what Linde meant, but the next moment Ilufa frowned and shook his head, saying, "No, no, if that's the case, the moment the magic runes are put together, the person who puts them together will be killed on the spot."

Ilufa's words put out the idea that Linde had just ignited. Indeed, if he couldn't delay the launch, he would be no different from a terrorist.

Alyssa played a background role throughout the whole process and couldn't say a word. She really didn't like this feeling.

When she heard her mother and Linde discussing the issue of delayed activation of magic, Elisa finally seized the opportunity to interrupt and raised her hand and said, "Wouldn't it be fine to use quartz?"

"quartz?"

"Quartz can slow down the speed of magic transmission. Although I don't know what you want to do with the explosion technique, if you think the magic is activated too quickly, can't you add a layer of quartz between the magic rune and the salaman stone?"

"That's right!" Illufa clapped his hands. "If we use quartz, there will be no problem!"

"That's great!" Lind also became excited. "Then please draw two magic runes of explosion!"

After saying that, Linde ran out.

After Lind left, Alyssa excitedly said to her mother: "Mom! How could you give that sword to Lind!?"

"A commander cannot live without a good weapon, and it is better to give it to Lind rather than leaving it here to rust. Weapons are meant to be used."

"But!"

"Besides, I just lent it to him. I will return it after using it." Ilufa explained, not arguing with her daughter.

Chapter 205: The Nuns Preparing for War

The camp entered a state of general mobilization, and everyone was preparing for the next battle.

The serfs hurried to sort out the necessary supplies, and the leaders of each work group were also directing the members of their group to sort out things. This battle was not a defensive battle in the camp, but an active attack outside the camp, so the things needed to be prepared were also very different from those in a defensive battle.

Ram and Winter directed the serfs to prepare for the battle and what they needed to bring. These two were professional soldiers, and Linde had already explained the battlefield environment to them in detail. Linde would not intervene in what to do, and let the two knights perform according to their expertise.

Don't interfere in areas you are not good at without authorization. This is Linde's experience before crossing over. Many times, when subordinates are working, they are not afraid of leaders who are not experts, but leaders who know but don't know enough and give blind orders. Before crossing over, Linde encountered a group of leaders who had been away from clinical practice for many years and made decisions about the hospital's HIS system, which paralyzed the entire hospital work.

Lind knew very well that he was such a leader now. As a knight's squire, he understood war, but not much. Small-scale combat was fine, but it would be better to let professionals command such a large-scale operation.

Although Ram and Winter were not that professional, neither of them was the kind of general who could command thousands of people in battle.

There were not many people in the camp, but they were clearly divided into three parts: the serfs who were originally residents of Dundalk, the new beastmen, and the war sisters who came from the Holy Empire. These three parts were nominally the subjects of the camp, but in fact they obeyed the command of different people, so now in the war preparation stage, it felt like everyone was preparing for their own thing.

As a colony of immigrants from the Holy Empire, the camp also inherits the characteristics of the Holy Empire: bulk, in every sense of the word.

If the enemy they were about to face was an elite force with high degree of training and organization, such a scattered force would have no chance of being the opponent. Fortunately, the opponent was Chaos Beastmen. As for combat discipline, they could not be said to be well-trained, but at least they had nothing to do with it.

In the war nun monastery near the edge of the camp, Shanoya immediately informed her colleagues of the enemy situation. After a brief meeting, these tough sisters who could sprint a hundred meters in heavy armor without even taking a breath, unanimously agreed to this battle plan.

Then this group of girls, aged between twenty and twenty-six, began to prepare for the battle.

"I never thought I would fight alongside heretics, and so many of them." A nun with short brown hair and a crooked scar on her face complained as she wiped her mace. "I joined the Sisters of War to spread the glory of the God-Emperor, not to fight alongside a bunch of heretics who are not even on the whitelist."

"Look at it from a bright side. Mother Earth is not on the blacklist either." Another nun who was putting on a second layer of armor over her chain mail added, "And it's not like we haven't fought alongside other gods before."

"Yes, but those are gods recognized by the Divine Emperor Church and are on the white list." The nun in front shrugged. "And the Mother Earth Goddess is not on the white list."

"Uh~ Didn't the Son of the Earth Mother Goddess receive the divine revelation from the Emperor?" said the youngest of the war nuns present, who had just been promoted from an apprentice nun to a formal nun. "Since the Son of the Earth Mother Goddess... God Emperor, before coming here, I didn't even know that the Son of God existed. Since the Son of the Earth Mother Goddess has received the divine revelation from the Emperor, can we assume that the Earth Mother Goddess is also a good god recognized by the Emperor?"

"Of course not." The nun with short brown hair rejected it. "As long as it is not recognized by the Patriarch of the Divine Emperor Church, no god can be included in the whitelist."

As soon as these words were spoken, almost all the nuns present felt a sense of disobedience in their hearts, as if there was something wrong with what they had just said.

However, upon closer thought, there is indeed such a rule in the teachings of the Divine Emperor Church that all miracles of the Divine Emperor's appearance must be confirmed by the Divine Emperor Church and the Regent of the Holy Empire before they can be recognized.

What God says does not count, only what the leader says counts.

There is actually a reason for this, because many heretics will use the name of the God Emperor as a cover to cover up their true evil beliefs. This group of combat nuns have actually encountered more than one heretical belief in the name of the God Emperor, such as the Four-Armed God Emperor, the Three-Clawed God Emperor and so on.

These heretical beliefs distorted the appearance of the God-Emperor into all kinds of alien shapes. To the devout believers of the God-Emperor Church, these heretics who claimed the name of the God-Emperor were the most abominable of all heresies.

Any miracle of the God-Emperor needs to be confirmed by the Patriarch and the Regent of the God-Emperor Church before it can be recognized. Therefore, even though the God-Emperor appeared in front of the Sisters of War, the Sisters of War were still very conflicted and even had a tendency to split into two factions.

The miracles here can only be reported to the top management when the next pioneer team arrives next year. Before that, Shanoya decided to treat the Mother Earth and her believers with the same attitude as the white-list gods.

"Cynthia." Seeing that the argument among her sisters was getting more and more intense, Shanoya promptly spoke to Cynthia, who belonged to the Blood Rose Sisters. "That Son of God, how are you observing?"

At this time, Cynthia was kneeling on the ground, holding the skull of the God-Emperor and praying devoutly. After hearing the question, Cynthia opened her eyes, stood up, and took off her nun's clothes.

The holy nun's uniform was taken off, revealing a strong body covered with various hideous scars. A kind of beauty called violence and strength covered Cynthia's whole body.

The nun, who had been fighting all kinds of cruel heretics, did not respond immediately. Instead, she picked up the fine chain mail and put it on.

"He's a good boy." After putting on the first layer of chain mail, Cynthia seemed to have pondered for a long time and gave an ambiguous answer.

"Good boy?" Shanoya felt confused and puzzled by this answer.

"At least so far, I haven't found any signs that he has been influenced by evil gods or evil heretics." Cynthia explained. "He is a good boy, an excellent and good boy. I can't think of any other appropriate adjective."

"Suppose, just suppose, that in the future it is confirmed that he is a heretic who believes in the evil god, then I will not agree to purify him with fire. Instead, I hope to bring him back to the right path by adjusting his education."

At this point, Cynthia licked her lips.

Chapter 206: Army Assembly

When an organization grows to a certain size, there will inevitably be differentiation of responsibilities and tasks within the organization. Different departments will be responsible for different responsibilities and have their own indicators, which sometimes even conflict with each other.

As the world's largest religious organization, the Divine Emperor Church has believers all over the world. Wherever there are people, there is the Divine Emperor Church. Such a large organization is naturally divided into many different departments, and some are further subdivided.

That's what the Sisters of War are like.

The Sisters of War are one of the religious forces of the Divine Emperor Church. There are many different subordinate monasteries under it. Different monasteries have different responsibilities according to their different focuses. Although they are named after war, not all Sisters of War are crazy women wearing heavy armor and hacking people. There are also Sisters of War who do not directly charge into battle, such as Medical Sisters, Praise Sisters, and Scripture Sisters.

The same is true for just fighting. Although the main enemy of the Sisters of War is the enemy of the Divine Emperor, the Sisters of War also have further detailed duties depending on the enemy.

For example, they targeted non-human races, evil gods, heretics, and the same human enemies. The Blood Rose Monastery was a branch that specifically targeted heretics.

The Blood Rose Monastery is a branch of war nuns that is specifically responsible for targeting heretics and heretics among humans. They are good at identifying heretics hidden in human society and various ways of torturing heretics. Because they need to deal with heretics all year round, the nuns of the Blood Rose Monastery know more about evil gods and various heretical ideas than others. Only by deeply understanding your enemies can you find them hidden in the crowd.

Cynthia was a member of this monastery. Although she was only 25 years old, she had already dealt with countless heretics hidden deep in human society. The scars all over her body and her blind eye were all medals of her battles with heresy.

The nuns of the Blood Rose Monastery would not complain about this, and they even enjoyed it. There was a rumor in the empire that the nuns of the Blood Rose Monastery would get excited when they heard the screams of heretics being burned by raging fire, and would burst out when they interrogated heretics using various methods that even the evil gods would call expert.

Whether it is true or not is another matter.

Since Cynthia had extensive experience dealing with heretics, Shanoya asked her to monitor Lind. During this period, Cynthia seized every opportunity to observe the Son of God's every move, almost catching up with a stalker. Although the time was not long, Cynthia still gave Lind a very high evaluation.

"He is a good kid. If he is really a heretic who believes in evil gods, then I will give him a chance, a chance to reform, and I will personally adjust and educate him."

This evaluation can be said to be the highest evaluation of the Blood Rose Monastery. For heretics and cultists, the Blood Rose has three ways to deal with them: purify them alive with fire, purify them dead with fire, and give them a chance to reform. Although there are three ways, in practice, there are only the first two. The third treatment method, at least the nuns present have never used it once.

The most authoritative heretic expert among the war sisters present spoke up, and the dispute among the war sisters came to a temporary end. Since the sisters of the Blood Rose Monastery said so, the nuns of other monasteries could not say anything.

It didn't take the nuns too long to prepare for the battle. With Shanoya's order, the gate of the monastery opened, and thirty well-dressed war nuns walked out of the gate of the monastery.

The sisters of war walked towards the square in the center of the camp, and all the troops gathered at the square after they were ready to go into battle. Along the way, the sisters of war received the serfs' enthusiastic attention, which was also the treatment they had always received.

As long as there are war sisters in the army, no matter who the teammates are, from the lowest-level serf conscripts to the majestic Imperial Guard Knights, the most attention-grabbing ones are often these heroic war sisters.

Although they have a bad reputation as crazy women, no one can resist the nuns who are wearing heavy armor and are good-looking. As an aside, I don't know if it's because of nutrition or selection, but every one of the war nuns is above average in appearance.

The top leaders of the Divine Emperor Cult still understand human nature.

Facing the admiring eyes of the serfs along the way, the war sisters marched towards the square of the camp. The serfs here were much stronger in both physical condition and fighting spirit than the serfs in other places, but serfs were serfs after all, and the speed of mobilization could not exceed that of the war sisters who were born for war.

They should be the first batch to be mobilized, right? The sisters of war thought so, and then they saw the new beastmen who had assembled in the square.

Unlike the war sisters who were wearing heavy armor, the new beastmen were only wearing simple clothes, not even cloth armor. The new beastmen were divided into two groups and waited in the square.

She was not the first one to arrive, which surprised the war sisters. Seeing the arrival of the war sisters, the leader of the pig beastman team, the fox girl Fran, smiled and waved to the war sisters in a friendly and cordial manner. Under the tight nun's uniform, her breasts swayed with Fran's movements.

The nuns subconsciously held their weapons. Whenever Fran met the war nuns, she would greet them warmly and friendly, with such enthusiasm that people almost doubted whether she wanted to have sex with the nuns, but the war nuns were sure that this fox girl was looking for trouble.

It was a mockery to let such a sleazy fox girl wear the nun's uniform. However, the war nuns had no choice because the host of the camp, Madam Ilufa, asked her to wear it.

The war sisters and the new beastmen rested and waited in a clear separation. After a while, two hundred serfs, led by two knights, gathered in the square. This was the total force of the camp.

Thirty war sisters, thirty wolf beastmen, forty pig beastmen, and two hundred serfs, a total of three hundred soldiers. If you add the two shamans, two cows, and the weasel as a mascot, the total is three hundred and five.

Everyone in the camp gathered in the square, but they were not prepared to go out in full force. In addition to those who went out to fight, there were also people who had to guard the house and provide logistical support.

After the army was assembled, Linde, the commander, and others also came here. When a group of four figures stepped onto the platform, Shanoya's pupils instantly dilated.

Sister-in-law gave that sword to Lind! ?

Chapter 207 Military Merit System

"All the citizens of Dundalk, the new beastmen who followed the Mother Earth, and the daughters of the Emperor who came from the Holy Empire to support us despite the dangers." On the high platform of the square, Ilufa stood in front of everyone in armor that he had not worn for a long time. "I am your lord's agent, Ilufa Ai... Gaines."

In the square, the entire camp had gathered here to mobilize before going to the battlefield. This was to encourage the morale of the army.

There was no platform here originally, only a large stone used as a temporary podium. However, standing on the stone all the time seemed too makeshift, so not long ago, Ilufa ordered a wooden platform to be built here.

At this moment, there are a total of four figures on the platform. Standing in the front is the lord of the camp, Illufa Gaines. Behind her, on the right is her daughter Alyssa Gaines, on the left is the camp construction manager Lind Hunter, and on the left is Lind's secretary, the only tavern in the camp, the Sixth Dream, and the young proprietress Efit.

At first glance, it looks like a beautiful young lady bringing her own and relatives' children out to play.

This was the first time that Ilufa had conducted a pre-station mobilization as a speaker. This could be mentioned from Ilufa's own identity introduction: Acting Lord. Until now, the legal basis of this camp was still the development license granted by the Holy Empire to Ilufa's husband.

Originally, this job was done by Ilufa's husband who had already fled. Facing the gazes of more than 300 people underground, Ilufa was a little nervous. To be honest, Ilufa had thought about letting Linde give the speech, but Linde firmly refused and said in a firm tone, Madam, you are the boss, I am just working under you.

In addition to his identity issue, there was another important reason why Lind refused, which was that Lind was not used to speaking in front of so many people, both before and after the time travel.

I'm already standing here, so I can't retreat even if I want to. I turned my head and glanced at Linde from the corner of my eye. Irufa took a deep breath and recalled the trick that Linde had just taught me.

"Just think of it as 300 potatoes down there," Lind said before his speech.

"What are potatoes?" Illufa asked back.

"That's three hundred pieces of bread," Lind added, and then he remembered that he hadn't had a chance to start planting the potatoes he brought back.

I gave myself a psychological hint, and when I opened my eyes again, the more than 300 people in front of me turned into 300 loaves of bread. This method worked immediately, and Ilufa was no longer nervous.

"Two months ago, our city was completely destroyed by the Chaos Beastmen. The raging fire burned our home, and our relatives and friends also died under the Chaos Beastmen's butcher knife." Illufa paused. "But we were not defeated! We survived! Overcame many difficulties and successfully built our second home!"

"We have restored order, rebuilt houses that can shelter us from the wind and rain, and the land has grown lush crops. All of this is a miracle achieved by you who are here with your own hard-working hands!" Ilufa was excited. "But now! Those Chaos Beastmen are here again! They want to destroy our new home just like they destroyed Dundalk!"

"We've already been destroyed by them once! Are we going to be destroyed a second time?!"

"Of course not!" Winter, who was excited by the lady's speech, was the first to raise his fist and responded loudly. "We must not let those dirty bastards destroy our homeland a second time!"

"We must protect our home!" Led by Winter, a militiaman also plucked up the courage and shouted loudly.

This sentence was like a flame that ignited dry wood, and it immediately aroused the anger of the remaining serfs. In previous wars, the lords always used words such as honor and glory to inspire morale, which had almost no mobilization effect on the conscripted soldiers, who were mainly serfs. This was not surprising, because these had nothing to do with serfs, and in previous battles, the main force had always been various noble soldiers and mercenaries, and the serf conscripts could barely even serve as an atmosphere group.

But the situation is different now. In today's camp, conscripted soldiers composed of serfs are a very important part.

Defending their homes aroused the fighting enthusiasm of some serfs, especially since many serfs had accumulated a lot of points. As long as the points reached a certain level, they could become free people.

"I declare that all serfs will receive five points for every Chaos Beastman they kill in the next battle." Then, Irufa encouraged the serfs. "In addition, all freed serfs will receive a piece of land for their own cultivation!"

Before this, accumulating enough points to become a freeman was attractive to serfs, but not big enough, because even if they gained freedom, without their own land, freemen still had no way to support themselves, so they might as well be serfs.

However, as soon as this policy was announced, almost all the serfs were excited. To have a piece of land of their own was the dream of many serfs who had worked hard all their lives.

After the crowd was in an uproar for a while, Ilufa raised his hand and signaled the crowd to be quiet. Then Ilufa announced the specific personnel arrangements. The war sisters and the new beastmen were all dispatched. As for the two hundred serfs, eighty of them formed two militia teams to go to the battle, and the remaining one hundred and twenty stayed behind to guard the house and provide logistics.

In addition, Ilufa unexpectedly appointed a logistics quartermaster, the young Efit, and gave Efit the title of lord.

"That's all." After the speech, Ilfa breathed a sigh of relief and confirmed with Lind.

"You are the boss, you have the final say." Linde laughed dryly.

It was Lind who recommended Efit, and it was also a helpless move to let a thirteen-year-old girl be the logistics quartermaster. She was the only one in the entire camp who understood material management, and she claimed that she learned it by running a tavern.

As for the serfs being given a piece of land after becoming freemen, it was also Lind's suggestion. He had always wanted to introduce this policy to further increase the enthusiasm of the serfs and to open up wasteland, but he had never found a suitable opportunity. He took this opportunity to introduce this policy.

Sure enough, when the next selection of militia was held, the serfs who had been avoiding it all took the initiative to sign up, in order to obtain enough points and become free people as soon as possible.

The two knights in charge of announcing the militia swore that they had never seen such active serfs.
