Belief In The Kingdom of God

"However, your Majesty, you asked us to make statistics a few days ago. At this time, the statistics have been basically calculated."

In front of him, Patton had a serious face and reported to Atis.

Hearing his words, Attis turned around and looked at him: "What's the result?"

Barton stepped forward and bowed and said: "After your Majesty ordered the statistics of the number of knights and sacrifices in the country, with the active cooperation of the local church, the current statistics have been calculated."

"Among them, the rest of the knights are aside for the time being, only the high priest level. There are currently nine registered records, and none of the knights in the sky."

He looked at Artis in front of him and said: "However, these nine high priests are from the northern tribes, including the pope and the chief knight Kurumba."

Hearing this, Artis nodded, expressing his satisfaction.

Naturally, this data cannot be completely counted, but it is already close to the real data.

"If this is the case, then the progress of that matter can also be improved."

He said so.

Hearing him say this, Bill and Patton suddenly looked right, they understood the key, and they both listened attentively.

"A few years ago, I ordered special sacrifices to spread the belief in the **** of nature in the army, and specially established camps for those selected officers to practice fighting spirit in order to strengthen the military's combat power."

"From the future results, the effect is also very good."

He stepped forward, looked up to the outside, and then said: "But it's not enough!"

"In the previous confrontation with Wang Ting, this problem has already begun to show up. Wang Ting's knights are too large, and the knights in it are endless. Both the number and quality of knights far exceed ours."

"Therefore, if you want to face off against Wang Ting on the battlefield in the future, or even attack the south, powerful knights and sacrifices must be indispensable."

Hearing this, Bill and Button gradually realized and understood.

I saw Bill stand up and say to Attis: "Your Majesty, do you want to train the officers in the army again?"

But seeing him say this, Attis shook his head: "It's not an officer in the army, but the whole army."

"Before, because of the limited consumption of food and other materials and other constraints, we only had time to conduct specialized training for officers in the army."

"But now, it is possible to start vindictive training for ordinary soldiers, and to send special sacrifices to train them."

When these words came out, the two people in the audience were a little shocked.

Bill was a little better, although he was a little surprised in his eyes, he didn't say anything.

But Barton’s reaction was even more intense. He stood up a little hesitantly and said to Atis: "Your Majesty, will there be anything wrong with opening the precious vindictive training method to ordinary soldiers? ."

"Such a huge base, if the fighting spirit is opened to these ordinary people, then sooner or later these fighting spirit methods will spread out and be stolen by the surrounding nobles, and even the royal court in the south."

This is also a real problem. Originally, even if the officers were open to grudges, the reason why the officers were officers was because most of these officers came from the nobles, and very few of them were elites who were not born in the nobles, and could easily be accepted by the original aristocratic class.

Moreover, in the army, there are only a few officers, so they can barely control them.

But if it spreads to the entire army, the concept will be different.

First of all, most soldiers were just ordinary people, even among the born slaves, and were not accepted by the nobles. Moreover, with such a huge base, there will inevitably be a loss, spreading the decentralized fighting spirit method.

But for this question, Artis just smiled and didn't seem to care.

"What about leaking out?"

He looked at Button and said: "First of all, for ordinary soldiers, we naturally cannot leak out the whole set of fighting spirit, only part of the foundation will be released first."

"At this level, at best, the practitioner can only reach the critical point for the birth of vindictive spirit, and even unable to become a knight. How attractive is it for those nobles?"

"Wait until these soldiers have achieved their military merits, or they have reached their current limits within the prescribed time, then they can be opened to the subsequent grievances. Even when they are promoted to the great knights, they can also let them choose one by themselves. Dou Qi Gong method opens the part of the Earth Knight to them."

However, when he heard him say this, in the audience, Patton rarely put on an expression of hesitation, but he didn't know what to say.

And Artis looked at him like this, did not speak, just smiled slightly.

He knew in his heart that this order had actually touched on the interests of traditional aristocrats like Patton.

In the past, the reason why nobles were nobles, in addition to the noble blood they boasted, was actually relying on the monopoly of knowledge and the mastery of extraordinary power.

Now, what Artis has to do is to break this long-term monopoly and spread the extraordinary power to the people. Naturally, these traditional aristocratic classes are dissatisfied, and even instinctively want to oppose it.

"But what's this to me?" Attis turned and walked quietly to the throne standing behind him.

"For now, the strength of the army can help me defeat powerful enemies and unify the world; in the case of gods, the strength of believers can be fed back to the gods of faith and give more blessings to the gods; in the world, The power of living beings can make the world stronger and condense more energy."

"Since this is good for me no matter how it looks, why should I hesitate?"

He thought so, and as the thought passed, his heart gradually calmed down.

In fact, to a certain extent, this is also a problem of different perspectives and heights. For Barton and others, they can only see in front of them. As for Artis, all his thoughts are based on the perspective of the gods and the world.

In fact, in his opinion, the reason why this world appears to be so declining is also related to the old order of this world.

In the past, there were ancestral gods above the city-states. The ancestral gods were aloft, enjoying the blood sacrifice at the same time they also consumed many creatures in the world. The power consumed for thousands of years is unimaginable. And these nobles' practices have also made the people miserable, and even restricted the spread of extraordinary powers, but also made the world unable to progress.

After all, the power of a world is, in the final analysis, the collection and accumulation of creatures within a world. From this perspective, although the ancestral gods and nobles played a role in resisting the erosion of foreign demon gods on the one hand, they also hindered the progress of the world and prevented the world from being promoted.

As his thoughts gradually flowed around, a little world power gradually oscillated around him, as if a new source of power was coming, with murderous intent, and then there was a faint cry of countless dead creatures.

Sensing this source of power, a familiar feeling suddenly struck, making Atis slightly startled.

"This is, the world's source of power is fluctuating, do you want me to go and clean up all the obstacles that hinder the development of the world?"

He felt the source power gradually spreading around him, thinking like this in his heart.

In his body, as the source power gradually poured in, several killing gods suddenly brightened, directly absorbing all the surrounding source power, and then condensed into a somewhat illusory and incomplete priesthood, which seemed to respond to the murderous intent of the world. Initiating a killing and robbery will kill all those who hinder the world.

···

On that day, following the order of Attis, a new decree was issued.

Attis ordered the establishment of a school of fighting spirit and magic arts, which were stationed by some senior knights and priests, to teach soldiers in the army.

As this order was issued, a horror sounded within the Principality of Yadi Su. Almost all the nobles were frantically opposed to it, and its momentum was even greater than the previous massive rebellions, which spread to the south. In the royal court.

All of a sudden, the rebellions that had been gradually quelled are now one after another, spurring a new round of rebellions.

However, in this process, there are also many nobles who are silent, just silent.

After the suppression of Artis' number theory and even the forcible banning of the original army, the power of the nobility in the Duchy of Artis was already very weak at this time. In addition, several previous rebellions were suppressed, and he was unable to resist Attis at all.

However, because of this order, the number of nobles who fled south to the royal court has increased a lot, but Attis has severely confiscated a large number of territories.

After waiting for a few months, it was autumn.

Countless people are surprised to find that this year's harvest has almost doubled compared to the past.

Because a large number of churches were built this year, a large number of sacrifices were stationed in various places to preach. With the cooperation of local officials, the priests performed magical skills in various places this year, such as enhancing fertility, communicating with plants, and inducing plant growth. Although they did not have much effect in combat, they are under the current situation of large-scale construction. , But it really reveals its extremely powerful effect.

Under the influence of these magic arts, not only the large numbers of insect pests and diseases that were infested in previous years disappeared, but even the fertility of the land has been greatly enhanced, so the output is naturally much higher than in the past.

And this kind of output, compared with the surrounding people who have not received the blessing of natural sacrifices, naturally caused these leaders to kneel down and pray frantically to the **** of nature, and their beliefs suddenly spread.

Especially in the Eastern Regions and Western Regions, as the natural sacrifices were stationed at this time, a large number of people converted and began to believe in the **** of nature.

Although these new believers do not have the piety of the original believers, as the prayer time gradually deepens, the natural faith will gradually deepen. Moreover, with the increase of so many believers at once, the power of faith is also accumulating crazily, making the natural **** body in the void much stronger.
