This sea lord is a bit strong

Chapter 436
Eastern Continent.

Hoag Mountains defense line.

After the army of the Kingdom of Light came here, they gathered believers to build a statue of the Goddess of Light in a valley.

Since it was built, every day, a large number of believers of the Church of Light have come here from various places in the rear, regardless of the army of the dark kingdom of God that appears at any time, and prayed in front of this pure white statue that is hundreds of meters high and even taller than the mountain next to it. .

In the eyes of believers, this is the place where the army of the Kingdom of Light descended to save the common people for the first time at the will of the Goddess of Light. It is a sacred place just like Aveno, the Holy City of the Church of Light.

And other places where the army of the kingdom of God descended are more or less considered special places by believers.

It is difficult for players to imagine how much fanaticism and faith a god can make believers have in a world with gods.

With the arrival of the army of the Kingdom of God, Ji Chen could feel that the believers of the Sea God Sect were in a state of emotional instability.

Before that, many of them were believers of other sea gods of the sea gods. Because they did not receive the response and manifestation of the gods for a long time, or because the power of the church was declining, their faith declined or they were disappointed and turned to the sea gods.

Therefore, at this time, seeing many troops from the Kingdom of God coming, I couldn't help but feel a little panic, for fear that the Kingdom of God army of the original faith would make trouble for them.

Heretics are more hateful than heretics!

As a result, their hearts were full of worry and uneasiness, and their belief in the Sea God Sect began to waver, and the power of faith they provided was less.

Ji Chen knew what needed to be done now.Immediately, troops were sent to seaside cities along the Mediterranean Sea to promote force in various Sea God churches.

Especially as soon as the two divine power troops with excellent appearance arrived, they looked no worse than other divine kingdom troops. The believers were visibly cheered up, their uneasiness and worries were much less, and instead they were filled with the power of faith.

The competition among the gods for believers is no less fierce than the battle between the army of the kingdom of God. In a relatively peaceful era, it is the main channel for the gods to expand their power.

At the same time, those priests of the Sea God Sect who were sent to various places to preach were also recalled to the Ocean Crown in batches to listen to Ji Chen's plan and orders.

When they returned to their parishes with the next batch of resources, they unanimously began to export inventory resources on a large scale for a new round of missionary work.

To put it simply, it is to continue or even strengthen the behavior of "spreading coins".

Now the main world is full of wars, the demons, the evil camp and the lawful camp are still at war, and the armies of the kingdom of God of various gods are also conquering each other.

It can be said that the whole world has been smashed into a pot of porridge!

In such a troubled world, whoever can give believers shelter and a sense of security, and who can give enough resources to survive, will be able to win the loyalty and trust of believers.

Among them, the Ocean God Sect focuses on the poor and low-level believers. After a period of missionary work, the effect is remarkable.

Among the newly joined believers, 80.00% are the people at the bottom, and they are the most loyal believers to the Sea God Sect.no doubt.

A person as friendly and approachable as the Sea God Sect, treats the low-level people and believers with food and clothing, and even set up a special relief organization.

Such a "down-to-earth" behavior is also a scorpion's poop in many churches of gods-the only one!
Other churches of the gods are more often focused on the aboriginal nobles, city officials, military officers, urban middle class, landlords, and even wealthy farmers.

For them, only these believers in the middle and high levels of society can provide help for the operation of the church.

If there were no donations from these rich believers, the huge amount of money needed to set up a large number of church facilities such as churches, orphanages, and training church fighters in each city would be enough to overwhelm the church itself.

Only these high-quality believers with assets and backgrounds can provide financial support to maintain the operation and expansion of the church. However, it is not that they do not care about the low-level believers, but most of the time the focus is not on them.

The Ocean God Sect started from seemingly small but very important aspects such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, quickly grasped the needs of the bottom-level aborigines, seized this part of the area that other god churches ignored or didn't care about, and completed the initial number of believers as quickly as possible. .

In a certain way, the power of faith provided by the believers at the bottom is no less than that of the wealthy aborigines, and even better in loyalty.

Belief spiritual needs + material needs + survival needs.

With this set of three tricks, most of the vacillating residents quickly fell, and even many poor believers in small churches converted one after another and fell into the embrace of the Sea God Sect.

No matter how much they believed, they had to be able to eat.

When other churches saw such prying behavior, they could only scold this sneaky little church at this time, but they were entangled in a series of sexual incidents from the army of the kingdom of God, so they couldn't spare much energy.

And these poor believers can't donate any resources, so it's not worthwhile to go to war at this time, so let's put this matter aside for the time being, and it's not too late to settle accounts later.

Now, the army of the Kingdom of God has descended one after another, and the churches of the gods are very confident.

However, what they don't know is that after the Ocean God Sect has won over all the bottom-level residents and possessed deep-rooted beliefs, it will be difficult for them to change their minds.

The speed of the spread of Sea God Religion in various parishes has increased a bit.

Shiploads of resources were transported from the outside world to the crown of the ocean, and boatloads of resources were transported to various parishes to supply the resources and funds needed for missionary work.

"My lord, apart from the Crown of the Ocean and the Great Fluorescent Sea, the total number of believers in various dioceses has exceeded 80, especially in the three countries along the northwest coast of the Principality of Reinhardt. In several seaside cities, the Sea God Church has become the mainstream church."

Willus said a little excitedly, such a fast speed of preaching is very amazing.

From the time the priests were sent to preach, the number of believers on each continent and island went from zero to 80, and all of this took less than a month.

Ji Chen smiled lightly.

asked.

"Why is Reinhardt progressing so fast?"

Willus hurriedly said: "It's like this. The area of ​​the Principality of Reinhardt was originally a wasteland in ancient times. Several pioneer families moved there from the outside world. Everything started from scratch and gradually established several country, so there is no native religion.”

"In addition, Reinhardt and several countries strictly control the mission of the church, so there has been no church that can spread on a large scale.
But after the Sea God Sect entered, instead of stopping them, they offered assistance, provided several buildings for free as churches for our missionary work, and even sent soldiers to maintain order.”

Willus shook his head in confusion.

Ji Chen was a little interested, and secretly felt the power of Reinhardt's belief.

The number is more than [-], accounting for half of all believers.

Most are located in cities, towns and villages by the sea.

In the constant prayer and fanaticism of the believers, he discovered several familiar existences.

Julius, Monica, Sebastian, Milona
These familiar aborigines have all become believers of the Sea God Sect and have been protected by the protection of the territory.

They probably already knew that the Sea God Sect came from the Crown of the Ocean, and the "god" of that belief was him, so they took the initiative to facilitate the teaching of the Sea God Sect.

And this also means that Reinhardt has already joined the team and chose to stand on his side and Ocean Crown.

".In the future, we will increase the missionary efforts in Reinhardt, and the resources will be prioritized, and the influence of the Sea God Sect will be expanded there as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

Willus raised his head and said: "My lord, there is one more thing about the population. More and more people have joined the crown of the ocean. Now there is not much land left on the island to build houses. Municipal facilities, once the foreign population is excessively absorbed, it will seriously affect the ecological balance of the island, compressing areas such as industrial areas and agricultural areas.”

Ji Chen frowned, "This is indeed a question, how many residents does Ocean Crown have now?"

"Excluding the Sea Clan and the Lizard People, there are already more than 30 residents."

On a mountainous area that occupies one-third of the entire island, with less than one-third of the suitable terrain for habitation, 30 residents can live there for a long time, which is already approaching the ecological limit.

The virgin jungle that originally covered [-]% to [-]% of the entire main island has now been cut down by more than half, and most of the rest are located on the west, northwest, and north sides. The southeast side centered on the Lord's Castle is full of buildings. .

If it spreads to the west and northwest, the whole island will become bare.

After thinking about it, Ji Chen also felt that it was impossible to destroy the increasingly scarce vegetation for the sake of population.

But only when the population increases can the territory develop, so what method should be used to increase the population capacity of the territory?
Looking at the sand table map of the Crescent Islands on the table beside him, he gradually had an idea.

"We reclaim land from the sea."

Willus was taken aback by this novel word.

Ji Chen picked up the chess pieces on the side of the sand table, and inserted them into the shoal where the main island connects to the northeast auxiliary island.

"How about filling and camping with a lot of rock and earth around this shallow bank, and building a piece of land large enough to build a house?"

Willus rubbed his chin, his eyes showed a bit of surprise and surprise, "It seems to be possible? If the shallow water is not deep, and there are enough rocks and mud."

"Then what are you waiting for, go explore."

"Yes!"

Willus ran out in a hurry and took people to investigate.

Report back soon.

The sea water around that shoal is not deep, and it has the conditions for land reclamation.

With Ji Chen's promise, a large number of Ocean Crown residents rushed to the scene carrying tools. This scene stunned the foreign businessmen and sailors.

After asking, I found out what they were going to do to "reclaim land". They looked at each other in blank dismay, not understanding.

The ocean is so vast, these residents actually want to bury it to create land?
Isn't the creation of land a power that only gods possess?

They soon saw how the inhabitants of Ocean's Crown "created the land".

I saw a transport ship loaded with full tanks of stones and soil, dumping them directly into the sea, just like throwing a handful of gold coins into the sea, without causing any waves.

Some people saw this as a joke, shook their heads and left, while some remained curious.

Some of the players who were dressed in strange costumes and were called Lords of Glory showed signs of surprise.

"Hold the grass, this is land reclamation!?"

"I didn't expect to see such a situation in this different world. It seems that the population of the Crescent Islands is getting denser, and the land is not enough."

"Should we buy a few houses here quickly, and then sell them to get rich when the house prices here are high?"

"...It is indeed possible, otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford a gift."

With the uninterrupted dumping of boats of stones and mud, the sea water gradually became cloudy, and the rocks and mud no longer sank, but gradually emerged and were gradually filled with more mud, so that people could already stand on them. .

The residents of Ocean Crown immediately cheered. Although the outcropping land was only the size of a house, it was the first step in their successful land reclamation.

Next, as long as you follow a series of orders from the lord, you can create a land that can accommodate more people!
As long as all the shoals between the main island and the northeast sub-island, and between the northeast sub-island and the surrounding shallow water are all landfilled, at least dozens of square kilometers of flat land can be created here.

These flat lands are enough to build a residential area for 30 people!

If it follows the example of the gourd painting and builds land in the shallow water area around the main island, it is not impossible to accommodate millions of people.

Watching the residents of Ocean Crown pouring rocks and filling them with soil, Ji Chen looked thoughtful.

It is rumored that the power of the earth has the power to move mountains and flat hills, turn rough mountains into flat land, and shape terrain at will. Does the power of the sea have similar power?
If it is, the power of authority can be used to create an area on the seabed that can accommodate the survival of land races, then the land problem will naturally be solved.

Thinking of this, Ji Chen wanted to try it out right away.

After several selections, he chose a relatively flat submarine basin west of the Crescent Islands.

Power gushes out, and under Ji Chen's control, the sea water in front of him gradually rushes back to the surroundings, as if there is a point in the middle that repels everything, and it is gradually expanding.

Soon, this point turned into a cavity, and the surrounding fish looked at this extremely strange place in bewilderment. When they put their heads into the cavity, their eyes widened. There is no sea water here! ?
Ji Chen raised his hands and opened them to the sides. With the extension of the arms, the cavity continued to grow, becoming as big as a house.

He moved slowly into it.

It's like going from the sea through the shield of the tidal core to the inside on a giant tortoise, but without the air.

But this is not a problem, Ji Chen just snapped his fingers, and the air squeezed in from the surrounding sea water.

Looking at the undersea space that had already taken shape, Ji Chen nodded in satisfaction.
