Necromancer: Becoming a God from a Lord
Chapter 145: Cultists
The Evil Moon Mountains, which have just begun to spring, are still not a suitable day to cultivate food. The land has not yet been thawed, and even if the ox is driven, it cannot plow the land quickly.
These days without harvest, coupled with the ongoing war of demons that had been going on for many years, brought only fear, hunger and death to the local civilians.
But "Scarhead" Carl has been doing well these days. The priest and deacon of the Glorious God Cult suddenly came to him and hired him to drive to the front border several times, carrying the church believers in Blackstone to the newly opened mining area.
Blackstone City is a huge city located at the foot of the Evil Moon Mountains on the border of Orland, the wizard kingdom, and it is also a front-line war fortress for humans to fight against the invasion of demons.
This city that accommodates tens of thousands of people is stationed in the battle mages of the Spellcasters Federation, the mage coalition of the Seven Wizard Kingdoms, the judges of the Glorious Church and the War Priests, etc., with a total of nearly 5,000 extraordinary armed forces. .
There are also ordinary knights with nearly 10,000 people, which are constantly being stationed in half a year to resist the attacks of the demon army.
The daily life and work of the civilians and believers living in Blackstone City is entirely carried out around supporting this huge coalition of countries. In any other city in the southern countries, there is no such urban ecology that is completely contrary to common sense. But it's very common in Black Rock.
As soon as the sky was dawn, "Scarhead" Carl put harnesses on two thin old horses from the backyard of his dilapidated house, pulled a ceiling carriage covered with grease cloth, and slowly headed towards the city gate. Drive away.
This is a good job. By counting on the head, you can earn almost twenty silver coins. Moreover, the damn demons' offensive has slowed down recently and no longer frequently harass the border line. There will be several trials along the way. There is no need to worry about personal safety in the military camp.
Today was his last train, but it was a little different from the previous ones. A small group of church believers from outside Black Stone City took the initiative to come to him and paid an additional carriage and horse fee to let him carry them. Go to the mine area.
It is a surprise to be able to earn double commissions.
"Old man, don't sit on the shaft with me. Let's stay in the carriage. The weather is not warm just now, so be careful of frostbite. When you go to the mining area, you have to beg the priests to take action."
The gray-haired old man who insisted on sitting on the shaft with Carl shook his head, rejected his kindness, and took out a small tin wine pot from his arms and took a bite, "This is nothing, it's colder in winter." , I've been used to it for a long time."
It seems that although the other party is not a local resident of Black Rock City, he must be a local who has lived in a farm and village near the Evil Moon Mountains for a long time.
Carl nodded and changed to a new topic to pass the time, "Why did you have to take your family to the mining area? I heard that there are still many scattered demons there that have not been evacuated, and the mining area is in the mountains, and life is comparable to Blackstone City. This is much more bitter."
The old man turned his head and looked at Carl, wonderingly: "Oh? Have you been to the mining area?"
"Well, I've done this job four times. I have to spend the night in the mining area every time, and I've returned to the city the next day."
As soon as he finished speaking, a scarred man in the carriage poked his head out and asked in a low voice: "Are you familiar with the diocese being built in the mining area? How many believers have the church moved? Are there many priests and pastors there? "" "
The old man's face slightly shook and he glared at the scarred man.
"Scar Head" Carl didn't care at all and said with a smile: "Of course, the churches, monasteries and pastoral houses in the mining area are being built day and night. The men of the church seem to be very anxious, among the believers Many people are tired and sick..."
He said curiously: "You are also going to assist in the construction of the parish? Although the old man looks healthy, he may not be able to endure this hardship."
The old man raised his lips and smiled strangely: "The glory is above. Even if I don't have the strength to contribute to the construction of the parish, as long as I am humble and pious enough, the priests will always be able to use me."
Carl himself was just a shallow believer, and he could only sigh when he heard this, "That's right, you believers are always so pious..."
...
The Magic Stone Mine Area located at the entrance of the Evil Moon Mountains Canyon Valley was closely guarded by the two thousand church judges, guarding several main checkpoints entering and leaving the valley, and surrounded as tightly as a railway.
In the valley that covers an area of not a large area, several mine caves that can be used by mine trucks and people have been dug in advance in the side of the mountain, but no miners are seen entering and leaving for work, but there is a stationed one. Judgment Army Squad.
On the gentle slope outside the valley, there is a scene of work that is full of work. Countless simple and ragged church believers drive cattle and horses, or pull the stones mined from the mountain with bare hands, and go to the one that has just laid the foundation on the hillside. At the church, it is difficult to move forward.
They were just escorted here by the church to send a judge army, and they didn't even have time to build a temporary residence for themselves, relying solely on the tart tent distributed by the church as a simple cover for night rest.
Some priests and priests in pure white robes stood scattered on high places, holding sacred scriptures and staffs, and kept proclaiming the Lord's mercy and truth to the hard-working believers, and chanting each passage When praying in scriptures, believers will spontaneously stop their work, kneel on the dirty soil, and pray and respond piously.
Senior Presiding Judge Zach Hyde stood on a temporary wooden tower, looking at the crowded scene below with a serious expression.
"Prince Raphael, how long will it take for us to repair the main building of the parish?"
The white-robed priest bowed slightly and replied in a low voice: "Sir, the number of believers who have moved to the mining area can participate in construction work is less than 500, and most of the rest are elderly and weak, which will take at least two months. time……"
"What? Two months! I can't wait for so long. The Holy City has done its best to make acquiesce to my unauthorized action. They have to withstand the pressure from the Federation and the Wizard Kingdom to leave me the time Not much."
There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!
What's more, Zach Hyde also drew half of the Judgment Army from the church battles in Blackstone, including nearly two-thirds of the Bloodline Knights, which was equivalent to killing the armed forces of the church in Blackstone.
If the contradiction intensifies to the point where conflict is impossible to avoid, Blackstone will fall into a situation where the power of the church is extremely empty, and it may even be directly dominated by the Federation.
"If the number of believers is not enough, send more judges and priests to go farther places to recruit people, hire more coachmen and caravans, and move them here as soon as possible!"
As long as the cathedral and the Judgmentary Military Holy House representing the authority of the church and the right to the diocese are built, and enough civilian believers gather to stay here, the church can publicly recognize the legitimacy of its actions and declare that all this is for If the ordinary believers here are sheltered, the Federation will no longer be able to intervene in the division of the benefits of the Magic Stone Mineral before them.
They have no courage to directly engage in armed conflicts with the judges in the mining area unless they ignore the agreement of the alliance and do not worry that the caster accidentally hurts the civilians, causing conflicts between the people of various countries and secular nobles and them.
"I heard that some of the believers who have migrated today have received basic aristocratic education and can read and write?"
The priest thought for a while and replied, "Yes, I especially remember that a small farmer from a nearby city moved his family to him. They claimed that their family had been pious for generations, and they were willing to come here to contribute to the Lord, regardless of gender, age or age. ""
Zach Hyde smiled satisfiedly and said, "The glory of our Lord always shines on them. Of course, it is time for them to give to the Lord. You select some people from these educated people who do not have to participate in the construction work and arrange them to assist the priests. And the pastors, copying scriptures and sewing ritual flags. "
“Follow your instructions, sir.”
