First Lord of Earth

"So, it was the lord of the human territory called 'Bai Yujing' who took action personally! As a result, you lost your troops and had to burn yourself with the 'Holy Fire'..."

At the same time, Bai Yujing and Lingquan Territory reached a "cooperation" agreement.

It is only about fifty miles away from the Mingjiao General Altar in the valley where the Lingquan territory is located.

Next to the "altar" where the fire was blazing and burning into the sky, "King Ming", who was dressed in white robes and had a golden flame floating between his eyebrows, asked coldly.

In the altar behind him, the high-speed churning flames vaguely transformed into the shadow of a "believer" who had previously burned himself to death on the battlefield. It looked mysterious and weird!

"Yes! It's the person who appeared in the vision before..."

In front of the altar, the old "Holy Fire Messenger" whose hair turned completely white because he had lost a lot of life span, was lying on the ground, not daring to look at him at all.

"We originally followed your instructions as 'King Ming' and went to that valley to check the situation..."

"As a result, he suddenly appeared and pretended to chase, driving a disguised 'witch' towards us. His subordinates did not know it at the time and thought it was a 'human being'... so they worked together with the Stone Holy Envoy to stop him." "Assault"...Who knew this turned out to be a trap. He first attacked us to attract our attention and consumed a lot of the power of the Holy Fire..."

"Then, that 'devil' suddenly attacked while we were fighting and seriously injured us... If the Stone Saint had not caused them to activate the 'Holy Fire Burning Body', they would have killed that demon girl with all their might. And, for their subordinates, A channel has been opened...I am afraid that the entire army will be wiped out during this trip, and we will not be able to bring back any news..."

His hair was completely white, his skin was covered with age spots, and he looked like he had only a few days left to live. The expression on his face was filled with nervousness and fear.

"What, Bai Yujing! That city of luck that appeared in the vision before?"

"Damn it, how dare you plot against the envoys of my Ming Cult like this? No matter what 'human territory' you have, you must be punished. Kill one to serve as a warning to others!"

"Yes, Lord Ming, please give the order! I am willing to lead five thousand 'Holy Fire Cultists' to directly destroy the so-called 'City of Luck', bring the leader to the altar, and tell Ming Lord crime!"

Around the altar, thousands of "Holy Fire Believers" had angry expressions on their faces after hearing the words of the thin old messenger. There were even more than a dozen extraordinary-level "Holy Fire Messengers" who volunteered, their eyes blazing. , the crowd was furious.

"The Lord of Bai Yujing..."

Only the "Ming King" sitting cross-legged on the flame stone pillar had a thoughtful expression on his face, and his eyes flickered like flames, as if he had gained insight into something!

"The bright and loving father, who knows the truth and understands the truth, enlightens me and clears my heart, soothes my nature, and has mercy on me in the world... The twelve eternal treasures enlighten all the enlightenment, and the wonderful sound guides the way to the immeasurable pure land."

The golden flames floating between the eyebrows of "King Ming" were chanting some kind of spell at the same time.

In the "altar" behind him, the surging flames condensed and turned into the shadow of a huge golden-robed god. He raised his hand to touch the head of the old man lying on the ground.

Buzz!

The latter's body, which had turned gray due to the consumption of his lifespan by the "Holy Fire Formation", and his face, which was full of wrinkles, seemed to have received some kind of supplement, and quickly became young and recovered!

"Thank you so much, King Ming, thank you so much, King Ming..."

There was surprise on the old man's face.

The other believers also had a look of awe on their faces.

"You all, please go down first..."

Then, "King Ming" shook his head and asked the others to retreat.

"How dare you lie to me..."

After all the surrounding believers left.

Fang La's eyes suddenly stared at the kneeling old and thin Holy Fire Messenger, and his eyes became very sharp!

Just the change in one's own will and mentality caused the surrounding temperature to rise sharply, and the air seemed to be burning violently...

"Prince Ming forgives me... my subordinates also share the worries of 'Prince Ming'..."

The old man knelt down on the ground, with a look of fear on his face. Sweat was pouring out from his forehead, which turned into wisps of white mist and evaporated in an instant!

"Humph, are you doing it for your own life?"

Fang La snorted coldly.

However, the expression softened a bit.

One hundred mortal-level "Holy Fire Believers", plus one extraordinary-level "Holy Fire Messenger", what if the deaths of these people are only attributed to the so-called "catastrophic creatures"?

Then, Mingjiao has no way to "revenge".

After all, those "ghouls" have been eliminated by the people from Lingquan Territory and Bai Yujing.

But when it comes to Bai Yujing, it's different. At least it provides a "famous teacher".

You know, in addition to investigating the situation, he originally sent his men to "purchase" food from a nearby human territory that was going through a tribulation.

Simply because "Mingjiao" is the product of the fusion of Manichaeism and Buddhism, and therefore the core teachings encourage believers to "eat vegetarian food"!

Therefore, there was originally a large amount of food stored in the main altar.

As a result, after arriving in the Eternal Land, the food was accidentally wasted by a group of rat-headed men.

Nowadays, the food left in the main altar can only last for half a month at most. This is still under the condition that only the minimum rations are provided to those low-level believers...

And because they have to be "vegetarian", it is difficult to obtain food sources by killing ferocious beasts, hunting aliens, etc. like other human beings.

Moreover, among the ferocious beasts in the Eternal Land, there are many extraordinary beings of extremely high levels, and the alien races are not simple.

And the "Holy Fire Believers and Holy Fire Messengers" who have a relatively higher status in the Ming Cult are unlikely to risk their lives to hunt for those lowest-level mortal believers...

Finding a way to "obtain" food from a human territory is naturally the most advantageous option.

It's just that although Mingjiao is regarded by many people as a "devil religion", it advertises itself as a "light and holy religion"!

It is naturally inappropriate to attack a human territory casually, and there happened to be a conflict between Xia Tian's pursuit of "catastrophic creatures" and the Ming Cult's investigation team...

This time, it does give a very good reason.

Moreover, for him who is determined to establish a "Kingdom of God", even if he has hundreds of thousands of believers, it is not that easy to "build a country" or even "build a city", and it will take at least several months.

This is because the forces in the world fragments themselves are equivalent to occupying a certain territory, which meets the condition that the power of luck can cover ten or a hundred miles.

"If we can capture a 'city of luck', I'm afraid the luck gained will be enough to directly 'build a city'..."

Fang La's eyes flashed, but his tone was very cold.

"Hmph, you have a good idea... but you are also a fool! How can Bai Yujing become a 'City of Luck', especially if it is Yi Yi? Even I don't have much confidence that I can win it... but you Dare to make a decision for me!"

Although Fang La is not considered a truly successful leader in history, he survived in the sea of ​​illusion with the help of the will of the earth, and his grasp of human nature is even better than this old man.

Naturally, it can be seen that the so-called "people become better with old age" is untrue in the mouth of this old Holy Fire Messenger.

In and out of words, he put all the blame on Bai Yujing, mostly to "exonerate" himself!

However, what the other party did did provide him with a reason to attack the "human territory". Therefore, he had not exposed it in front of many of his subordinates before, and even found a way to treat him!

"The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be forgiven... Next, you and the people will gather all the people around you and bring them to the headquarters. You can't leave any population for other human territories..."

Then, Fang La said in his mouth.

Of course, those who gathered here were not only the people in the world fragments, but also the "food" they stored!

In this way, the food crisis can be alleviated at least temporarily.

And you must know that if the "Mingjiao" wants to establish a destiny country where politics and religion are integrated, Fang La himself, as the "King of Ming", must naturally maintain a bright and beautiful appearance!

Therefore, it is naturally impossible to do these things by yourself.

So, the person who takes the lead in implementing this thing.

In the end, I'm afraid I will inevitably end up being "borrowed"!

…

"In this case, this so-called 'Mingjiao' may be an unstable factor... City Lord, we need to strengthen surveillance on it and even prepare for a battle with it..."

Bai Yujing.

In the lord's mansion.

After Qi Jiguang and Xia Tian returned, they learned from Xia Tian what they had experienced in the Lingquan territory.

In Zhuge Liang's absence, Jia Xu, Bai Qi, Li Ru and others who were temporarily in charge of the "Government Affairs Office" all had thoughtful expressions on their faces!

Bai Yujing is naturally very powerful.

There are more than 20,000 soldiers at the mortal level alone.

But judging from the information revealed by the fat flame bearer who set himself on fire.

The entire Mingjiao has as many as 300,000 members. In terms of population alone, this "Mingjiao" is even higher than Bai Yujing!

Although, it is unclear how many "Holy Fire Believers" at the mortal level and "Holy Fire Messengers" at the extraordinary level are among the 300,000 people?

But, to be honest, Xia Tian does have a certain amount of emphasis on this "Mingjiao".

This kind of attention is even more important than facing the dragon clan!

Just because, although he did not put in much effort, he defeated the "Holy Fire Formation" composed of hundreds of "Holy Fire Believers" and two extraordinary strong men!

But this is under the use of the "Seven Star Longyuan Sword" of Yubai quality. If you rely solely on yourself, even if you have advanced to the "Second Transcendent Realm", you cannot solve it quickly.

In the past, the human race relied on the "military formation" to increase their strength. Even when facing alien races of the same level or even a higher level, they could fight across levels without falling behind!

But now, after three fusions, more power systems have become apparent. Whether it is the Dragon Clan's "Tidal Formation" or the Ming Cult's "Holy Fire Formation", the power displayed is comparable to the "Military Formation".

Even at the cost of "burning life", the Mingjiao's Holy Fire Formation was no less effective than the Qi Jiajun's "Mandarin Duck Formation". Those Holy Fire believers did not hesitate to "immolate themselves" in the battle. The level of bravery and fearlessness is not inferior to that of soldiers trapped in the camp who have the "will to trap the enemy".

You know, generally speaking, most soldiers are still afraid of death!

At least, among Bai Yujing, except for those in the trap camp who have the characteristic of "willing to trap the enemy", even elites such as the Qi family army cannot completely "see death as if they are home"!

But the "Holy Fire Cultists" are completely different. They are completely unafraid in the face of death, and even take the initiative to "burn themselves", seeming to think that they can go to the so-called "Light Kingdom"!

Such an "opponent" would inevitably frown even if they were from the same human race.

Of course, strictly speaking.

Xia Tian doesn't really have to use the "Seven Star Longyuan Sword" to break the opponent's formation.

Because the spiritual power released can indeed be transformed into one's own power by the "Holy Fire Formation".

However, pure physical strength does not.

Nowadays, Xia Tian's own pure strength has exceeded 200,000 kilograms. If he punches with all his strength, there is a high probability that it will be enough to break through the opponent's "Holy Fire Formation"!

But this method of "defeating ten societies with one force" is limited to himself, or Jiang Wei, Zhao Yun and other people who can rely on external forces to gain powerful physiques after being possessed. Ordinary heroes in the territory really have to face this "Holy Fire Great One" "Array" may indeed cause some headaches.

And this is only a "holy fire formation" formed by a hundred people. What if thousands or even tens of thousands of people form a large formation together?

I'm afraid, it's really not easy to deal with.

"Ask General Mo Xie to forge more 'Suzaku Guns' and 'Tiger Crouching Cannons', and ask the craftsmen to find ways to develop some ammunition and crossbow arrows with 'ice and water' properties of spiritual patterns..."

After thinking for a while, Xia Tian gave an order.

In addition to burning themselves, some of the previous "holy fire believers" rushed directly towards the extraordinary level "ghoul" and triggered the spiritual power of the whole body to initiate "self-destruction". Even the extraordinary level ghoul would explode. Received impact during the explosion!

Faced with this situation, the best thing is to attack from a distance...

Although the flames of the "Holy Fire Array" can burn long-range attacks, ice and water-attributed spiritual weapons should also be able to restrain one or two!

"The art of war is to know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles... Li Ru, arranged for several of the 'Jin Yiwei' who were previously trained to find a way to sneak into the 'Ming Cult'. I need to know the relevant information of the 'Ming Cult', as well as information about their actions... "

Later, Xia Tian said to Li Ru again.

Before practicing the "Method of Transformation" provided by the Dragon Clan, the Jin Yiwei could not sneak into the territory of the foreign race to detect intelligence for the time being.

However, as a human race, there is no such problem.

It can even be said that because he is better at detecting human intelligence, he can be regarded as a true professional!

"However, in addition to weapons and intelligence. Perhaps, I can also consider starting from other aspects to improve the strength of the territory..."

Xia Tian thought for a while, his consciousness sank into the Lord's space, and he took stock of some precious items he still had in his hands.

Among them, there are five items that are equivalent to the quality of "Jade White".

They are: Yubai troop promotion scroll, hero positioning teleportation scroll (Yubai), strange object law guide scroll (Yubai), secret realm fairy order (Yubai)... In addition, there are also defeats and surrenders of "grey dwarves" After that, I received a "Jade White Treasure Box" as a reward from the Will of the Earth...

So, which one to use first? (End of chapter)
