Chapter 236 God of Storms
First of all, Li Zhi took the thousands of soldiers captured this time and after some screening, left a thousand elite soldiers. The other thousands of soldiers all disarmed and returned to their fields, and each of them was assigned some troops near the four newly acquired castles.
Land, let them go back and cultivate with peace of mind. To read the latest chapter of this book, please search on Baidu: Novel Network
Most of the soldiers who were allocated land were strong men who had been captured to work as soldiers. Of course, they were very happy that they could be given fields without having to serve as soldiers, so they moved their families one after another from their original places to near the four castles.
settled on the land.
Suddenly, the four castles that had been completely slaughtered by the undead suddenly had tens of thousands more people.
Li Zhi selected a few capable and capable adventurer captains and mercenary captains who had chosen to follow him, and appointed them as the castle owners of these castles.
In addition, Arthur was also appointed as the Lord of Ironwood Fort by Li Zhi, and led a group of people who wanted to return to Ironwood Fort to return to Ironwood Fort.
The camp established by Li Zhi in the Death Mountains has also been preserved, because a group of residents of Ironwood Fort have become accustomed to the hunting life and want to settle there.
So Li Zhi named the camp Hunting Castle and gave it to the mercenary leader John, who was once an adventurer, to manage it. He hoped that he could develop the camp into a paradise for adventurers and hunters and attract more adventurers and hunters.
Go on an adventure in the Death Mountains.
Gradually, the population of these castles slowly increased, but it was still far from Li Zhi's requirements.
Li Zhi now has a vast territory and sufficient funds. What he lacks is actually the population. As long as he can get a large number of people, he has almost succeeded in the basic construction of the territory. The future development will be left to Arthur.
, John and other followers. After all, Li Zhi’s real purpose is to develop faith in order to become a god, not to become a secular lord.
Therefore, his next step in building his territory is to start developing a large population.
In the Northland, since most of the Lord Churches favored the so-called light camp, buying and selling slaves was prohibited. This gave Li Zhi a bit of a headache, otherwise he would have been able to buy tens of millions of slaves with the large amount of funds in his hands.
Fortunately, in the southern continent beyond the Earth Sea, the buying and selling of people is common practice. Wars between the light camp and the dark camp countries break out from time to time, and most of the soldiers captured by the dark camp are sold as slaves.
So, with enough gold coins in hand, Li Zhi began to secretly purchase a large number of slaves from human traffickers in the south.
Since the slave trade was prohibited, the transactions between Li Zhi and the human traffickers could only be carried out secretly.
Most of the castles acquired by Li Zhixin were inland cities. Only the Blackwater City was built next to a small river. The river leads directly to Liujin Castle, a castle owned by the Goddess of Commerce, and then directly to the sea.
However, due to the last incident, Li Zhi had to be wary of the goddess of commerce, so he did not dare to let the slave ship of the human trafficker pass there.
Fortunately, the Death Mountain range controlled by Li Zhi is a mountain range that runs through the entire Northland continent. One section of it has extended to the sea and can be opened into a port. So, he specially found a mountain range on the seaside of the Death Mountain range.
A deep-water beach suitable for opening into a port.
A group of monster legions, led by the three monster commanders Golu, Kaka and Jumu, secretly came to the port area planned by Li Zhi, and then used their huge power to mine a large amount of stone from the nearby forest.
A sea wall was built on the beach. To read the latest chapter of this book, please go to Baidu Search: Novel Network. Then they cut down a large amount of wood, sawed it into wooden boards under the command of human craftsmen, and assembled a large number of wooden boards next to the sea wall.
of houses….
Ali, the big black mercenary leader among Li Zhi's followers, was sent over and led a team of more than 300 soldiers to live in these houses. As a result, a small seaport city was built.
Li Zhi named this small seaport town Sailing Port and handed it over to Ali, the leader of the black mercenary group, to manage it.
Soon, Li Zhi used sufficient funds to open up the world of human traffickers in the south. Groups of slaves were quickly loaded onto cargo ships and secretly transported to the sailing port. Then, under the escort of monster soldiers, there was an endless stream of slaves.
Inputted into Hunting Castle, Ironwood Castle, Yellow Sand Castle, Black Water Castle, White Stone Castle and Red Earth Castle.
These slaves were sold to a foreign land, and they originally had great fear. However, after they were sent to their destination, they were treated very well. Not only did they not starve, they were also given a wooden house as a shelter.
They were also told that as long as they work hard to cultivate farmland here, after one month, they can be released from their status as slaves and receive half of the farmland they cultivated as their own land. And all of this is the responsibility of Lord Leeds.
A wise decision made after discussing with several companions.
Although they were a little dubious about the news, the slaves' enthusiasm was still mobilized. Soon, the deserted territory that had been plundered by the undead gradually came back to life under the cultivation of these slaves.
And a month later, these slaves were indeed relieved of their status as slaves, restored to free people, and received a piece of land as a reward.
Suddenly, the generosity and kindness of the Lord of Leeds and several of his companions began to spread throughout the land.
And a group of specially trained and specially sponsored bards widely publicized in the territory how the lord and a few companions fought off the undead, protected the people, and finally slayed the evil dragon and ended the war.
Gradually, Li Zhi and several companions became the saviors who ended the undead war in the minds of the people in the territory, and were also legendary heroes who slew the evil dragon.
Although most of these people are foreigners and are not deeply impressed by the horrific undead war, most of them from the south have also been tortured by war and evil gods. Otherwise, how could they be sold as slaves to this country?
What about the far north?
Under such circumstances, a powerful lord who can protect his subjects becomes even more valuable.
Therefore, Li Zhi and others eventually became the idols worshiped by these people. As long as they can ignite the divine fire and become demigods, they can easily develop a large number of believers from these worshipers, and then rely on the power of faith provided by these people.
Become a true god.
After seeing that everything was gradually on track, Li Zhi began to announce to the outside world that he was practicing seclusion. He handed over all affairs in the territory to those followers, while he himself, Zhui Feng, Shi Yan, Shelley and others, took a ride
A sea ship sailed to the mysterious southern continent.
In order to prevent their departure from the territory from being revealed and causing unnecessary trouble, Li Zhi, Zhui Feng and others hid their true identities with cloaks and hid in the cabin to practice all day long.
However, the trouble is often that the more afraid you are, the more he will look for you.
When the ship was halfway through the journey, huge wind waves suddenly appeared on the sea. The ship was suddenly bumping violently in the huge wind waves, and seemed to be broken up at any time.
"Great God of Storms, please stop your anger. We will offer you fresh sacrifices to pray for your forgiveness!" The old captain with a big beard suddenly took out a talisman.
, kneeling and worshiping in front of the wind and waves outside, and then led the crew to search everywhere in the cabin.
"Damn it, one of you must have aroused the wrath of the Storm God. Come forward quickly and jump into the sea to appease the Storm God's wrath!" The bearded captain roared angrily while searching...
.
Soon, the bearded captain searched the cabin of Li Zhi and others. When he saw Li Zhi and others wearing black cloaks to hide their true faces, he immediately pointed at Li Zhi and others and shouted: "It's you,
It must be you sneaky guys. No wonder the Storm God is so furious suddenly. Someone among you must have committed a major crime of blasphemy and aroused the anger of the gods. Jump off the ship quickly, otherwise we will
I will throw you overboard myself!"
Li Zhi looked at the bearded captain and suddenly smiled coldly and said: "It seems that you have used this reason to throw many people into the sea, you damn evil cultist!"
"What, what are you talking about, who are the evil cultists!" The bearded captain glared angrily at Li Zhi and shouted loudly.
"Hmph, that magic talisman in your hand is a prop used by the evil god's priest to perform magic. It seems that you are not only a believer of the evil god, but also a very high-status evil god's priest. You should be the one who used this magic talisman in this big storm.
It's caused by the magic he performed!" Li Zhi glared back at the bearded captain and said with a sneer.
Suddenly, the passengers who were alarmed by the bearded captain looked at the bearded captain in horror.
"You, you're talking nonsense!" The bearded captain was horrified and hurriedly hid the talisman.
At this time, the first mate of the bearded captain walked over with a machete and muttered to the bearded captain: "Captain, why bother talking nonsense with this guy? Just kill them directly. At worst, the whole ship will be destroyed."
Kill everyone and sacrifice them to the God of Storms, so that the rewards we can get will be even more generous. If anyone asks about the whereabouts of these passengers, they can just blame them on the pirates!"
The bearded captain's eyes flashed when he heard this, and finally nodded slowly and said: "That makes sense, so let's do it!"
Immediately, the bearded captain stared, pointed at Li Zhi and said loudly: "Come here, kill this kid and his companions!"
"Yes, Captain!" Upon hearing this, the sailors of the bearded captain shouted and rushed towards Li Zhi and others waving their weapons.
"Humph, you're looking for death!" Li Zhi's eyes flashed with cold light, and he rushed into the crowd as fast as the wind, throwing dozens of punches like lightning, and hit the crew members hard.
Dozens of "click, click, click" sounds of broken bones were heard, and dozens of crew members were instantly blasted by Li Zhi with broken muscles and fractures, vomiting blood and being thrown away.
"Uh-huh!" In an instant, dozens of crew members were knocked to the ground by Li Zhi, and bursts of shrill screams rang out in the cabin.
However, Li Zhi did not take the lives of these crew members immediately. After all, the ship was still at sea, and these guys still needed help to sail the ship. Therefore, he broke the bones of these guys, causing them to temporarily lose their ability to move.
With Shelley here, it would be easy to rehabilitate these guys.
After knocking over dozens of crew members, he then pressed on the captain and the first mate beside him without stopping.
"You, don't come here!" After the bearded captain and his first mate saw Li Zhi's skills, they immediately knew that they had hit an iron plate. They were already pale with fright. Seeing Li Zhi approaching, they were even more frightened.
His whole body was shaking and he kept retreating.
"Humph, aren't you very arrogant? You want to throw me into the sea as a sacrifice? Why are you so timid now!" Li Zhi sneered and rushed forward, grabbed the two of them by their necks, and lifted them alive.
Got up.
"Spare, spare our lives, we know we were wrong and we won't dare to do it again!" The bearded captain and his first mate were like two powerless chickens in Li Zhi's hands, unable to escape at all. Li Zhi was full of strength.
With such big hands, I had no choice but to beg for mercy again and again...
"Tell me honestly, what is the God of Storms in your mouth, and why do you throw innocent passengers into the sea!" Li Zhi loosened his grip on the necks of these two guys and asked coldly.
"I said, I said!" The bearded captain and his first mate soon began to explain honestly.
It turns out that this God of Storms is a powerful god from the dark camp. He has been successfully resurrected and is asking his followers to perform blood sacrifices in preparation for restoring their strength.
The crew members on this ship are all believers of the Storm God, and the Bearded Captain is even a priest of the Storm God. Of course, the Storm God has not yet been re-consecrated as a god, and the Bearded Captain can only rely on his
Use a divine talisman from the God of Storms to cast magical spells.
In order to help the Storm God obtain a blood sacrifice, Big Beard often played the same trick as before. First, he used a magical spell to create a big storm, and then lied that the Storm God was furious and wanted to perform a blood sacrifice to appease the god's anger.
In this way, the God of Storms can not only obtain the sacrifice of flesh and blood souls, but also obtain a large amount of fear and belief in the force from these passengers who have experienced the stormy waves. In addition to the general worship belief, there is also a kind of fear belief, which is to convert terror into
You can also gain the power of faith by forcing others to fear you, but such power of faith is often full of negative energy, and only those violent evil gods can do this.
According to the description of the bearded captain, the so-called Storm God should have been resurrected for a long time, and his rank has reached at least a dozen levels. I am afraid that it is not something that Li Zhi and others can kill now.
"Sir, if you tell me everything I know, just let me go!" The bearded captain and the second mate finally begged.
Li Zhi thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "You have said so much, how do I know if you have deceived me? So, I'd better check your memory myself!"
As he said that, Li Zhi suddenly used force, immediately broke the necks of the two men, and swallowed their divinity in one bite.
In fact, Li Zhi had no intention of letting them go from the beginning. It was just because the memory fragments obtained by devouring divinity were sometimes messy, so he spent some time questioning them.
Soon, Li Zhi defeated the soul will of the two gods, began to fuse their memories, and carefully searched for the memories of the Storm God.
