Lord Leo came and left just as quickly. The coalition forces advanced smoothly, while Director Leo followed the army and took advantage.
Just like the peerless masters in knight novels, they came and left quietly. With a wave of their sleeves, except for Ivan, Baron Fox and his vast family fortune, they did not take away a single cloud, looking like a worldly master.
style.
According to the marching speed of the coalition forces, there will soon be nobles from the next county waiting for Director Leo.
Wonderful tax dollars are beckoning to him, and Director Leo will certainly not waste time here.
The tax policemen escorted Ivan, who had not yet figured out the situation, and Baron Fox and his thugs left, rejoining the endless human army on the road.
And when Director Leo's motorcade rumbled away from White Birch Manor, the young Joey family looked at the dust raised by the wheels and horse hooves, still unable to believe that what just happened could be true.
At this time, bursts of burning pain came from his body, reminding him that he had indeed been severely beaten by Ivan and his thugs not long ago.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch the injured area, and then a burning pain came.
Although the wound no longer bleeds after the prayers and blessings of the priests, it still takes a long time to heal.
Priests' holy magic is not omnipotent, so the world still needs doctors and herbal medicines.
Joey's expression of surprise was mixed with confusion. He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and pressed hard on his wound.
Suddenly, a heart-breaking pain came over him, which made him scream loudly. His body curled up involuntarily, and cold sweat the size of soybeans broke out on his head.
A whip dipped in salt water is enough to injure someone internally.
The parents and little sister next to him all exclaimed and hurriedly hugged him.
Joey didn't care, but opened his eyes desperately and looked around.
No, no~!
There was no roar from Ivan, no laughter from the thugs, and no screams from his beloved little sister.
This...this is true, this is really true~!
It’s not a hallucination caused by pain~!
Everything he dreamed of finally happened. The bloodthirsty Ivan and his men were all arrested and taken away by the vicious tax policemen.
Joey was ecstatic for a moment.
He hugged his little sister and shouted loudly: "Really, really, this is true. Haha, hahaha..."
The parents next to him looked at him and cried with joy: If it hadn't been for that group of human tax policemen today, their whole family would have died here~!
After a long time, the excited Joey slowly got up, and with the help of his parents, he walked step by step towards his village.
At this moment, and for some unknown reason, he felt much lighter, as if a large boulder that had once weighed on his head had been removed.
Even Joey's parents saw a glimmer of hope at this time. The flyers dropped by humans might be true~!
In the future, the Semitic people will undergo earth-shaking changes.
When they stumbled back to the small village, they saw all the people in the village gathered in the simple small square in the center of the village.
It is said to be a square, but it is actually just an open space where streets intersect.
Joey couldn't help but wonder. Usually these farmers were so busy that they didn't even have time to sleep. Why didn't they all go to work now?
When he took a closer look, he saw a priest in a white robe standing on a table in the middle of the square. He was loudly promoting something to the villagers.
He was tall and had a loud voice. He also had a sword on his waist. He was wearing a white robe with no decoration behind him. He looked very simple. His face was flushed. I don't know whether it was because he spoke forcefully or because he was excited.
These priests who dare to rush to the front line of the war to preach are all fanatical believers of the Holy See of Light. It is their ultimate dream to spread the glory of the Holy See throughout the world.
Preaching and increasing believers is also a great achievement in the Holy See. Hilmeria's successful promotion to Cardinal was due to her contribution to inspiring three million orc believers.
Before the coalition forces set out from Port Ryder, many fanatical pastors wrote letters requesting to go to the Semitic continent to preach.
This is the best time to conquer the Semitic people with the belief in the God of Light. For this reason, Hilmeria still hugged little Lorraine and specially found Lord Lorraine.
The child cried and the wife made trouble, forcing Lord Lorraine to agree.
However, when it comes to matters involving religious beliefs, Lord Lorraine cannot be cautious and handle them incorrectly, which will lead to great chaos.
This matter required the cooperation of the Semitic Republican government, and after "arduous negotiations" between Lord Luo and Fiona, several exchange contracts were signed.
Although the Holy See of Vatican cannot openly spread the teachings of the God of Light and develop believers, it can use the God of Light to help the Great Demon God to preach to the Semitic people.
At the same time, we train priests and bishops for the Semitic Demon God Religion through commissioned training.
At the beginning, all the pastors were extremely unhappy about this and resisted it very much.
We all preach to show the glory of the God of Light and educate the Semitic people. With the faith of harvesting for God, after death, you can go to Guangming Mountain and become an official.
Why did you suddenly become a helper to the Great Demon God? Isn’t that what you said?
Isn't this the artillery cook squad leader?
Working hard to take the blame and wear a cuckold, but in the end you just watch others having sex?
In anger, some people almost complained to the Vatican Supreme Inquisition, asking them to investigate whether the ruffian was also a blasphemer.
But then I thought about it, His Majesty the Pope seemed to be having an affair with that ruffian. Once this complaint was filed, His Majesty the Pope might be so angry that in order to defend her adulterer, he would first take himself to the Inquisition to drink coffee.
Now, everyone’s fevered minds have calmed down.
Therefore, I can only force myself to swallow my anger.
But we can't just let it go. Many pastors still haven't given up the fight. If they don't dare to be tough, then they will be soft. They are planning to go on strike to protest.
Just as things were being discussed, news came that Lord Luo was playing a very big game of mahjong.
Everything is under control.
After thousands of years of brainwashing, the Semitic people will instinctively resist the God of Light. Therefore, when preaching directly under the banner of the God of Light, it will definitely be very difficult, and may even encounter violent backlash, which is completely inconsistent with the strategy.
Doesn’t match.
But if it was in the name of the God of Light helping the Great Demon God, those stupid Semitic people would definitely not be so resistant.
When you look back, you have civilized them all. At that time, it wasn’t just what everyone said, right?
Anyway, the priests and bishops of the demon god are trained by Fantino, so you can teach more private students during the training.
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but praise each other: As expected of Lord Luo, he is really despicable~!
Therefore, when the army set out together, they were like casting a net, marching towards various places of the Semitic people. They spread the teachings to the people and spread the glory of God, without being afraid of the chaotic situation in the occupied areas.
Although he was still far away, Joey could already hear the pastor shouting loudly and with great anger.
"God so loved the world..."
"Under the sky, everyone is equal."
"People of the Semitic tribe, you can only believe in the Light God Cult...bah bah bah. Only by believing in the Great Demon God Cult can you gain eternal life."
"The God of Light and the Great Demon God are brothers."
"Only by uniting our two families can we drive away the evil high priest."
"..."
All the people couldn't help but look at each other: The evil high priest? Isn't this the same as what was said before?
At that moment, someone couldn't help but ask: "This... uh, this master."
The pastor immediately stopped, then made the sign of the cross on his chest and said with a smile: "Brother, under the glory of God, everyone is equal. And I am just an ordinary person under the glory of God.
So you don’t need to call me master, just call me priest.”
"God...Father..." The man couldn't help but hesitated for a moment, and then he realized that this word seemed to be a little more powerful than "Master". He didn't feel the meaning of "everyone is equal" at all.
The pastor smiled like an insurance salesman, showing four standard teeth, and asked softly: "What's the matter, my brother?"
Just this smile. They have also been specially trained. How to get closer to people in the shortest time is a required course for pastors.
If these Semitic people had seen the methods of the magicians, at this moment, they would all tighten their wallets without hesitation and leave as soon as possible.
But it is a pity that these Semitic people are all as naive as fledglings that have just crawled out of the eggshell.
Therefore, seeing the pastor's kind smile, everyone felt at ease and at ease.
For preaching pastors, this place is simply a fertile but undeveloped virgin land, allowing them to develop as much as they like.
It's not like in human society, where you have to please those unruly people everywhere.
This feeling was so wonderful that the pastor was so moved that he wanted to cry.
The man hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The villain is just a country boy and doesn't understand anything. But how do you say that the High Priest of the Undead is an evil person? Isn't this different from what you said before?"
The priest smiled and said: "Those people in the past were traitors, enemies of the Semitic people, and puppets of the high priest. They lied to you.
Those people are all the incarnations of Pluto and the devil, and you cannot believe a word they say.
The scripture says that if you believe it and are deceived by them, your soul will fall into hell forever~!"
Everyone couldn't help but burst into an uproar.
Many people had a look of horror on their faces, but some people didn't believe it. And these people were generally small and wealthy people in villages and towns.
The priest stood up straight, stretched out his hands to everyone, and said loudly: "My brothers, do you know that the undead are lying on our bodies like vampires, sucking our flesh crazily?
Do you know how much money is extracted from us in a year?"
He paused, then stretched out his hand, doubled the number in Lorraine's report, raised his voice, and said: "Those greedy undead sucked 500 million gold coins from us a year.
.The old Semitic government had to pay them five hundred million gold coins every year.
Five hundred million~!”
Everyone was silent.
This sentence is meant to flatter a blind man.
Because, for these ignorant and illiterate people, they have no idea how much five hundred million gold coins are.
Many of them have never seen gold coins in their lives.
But the faces of the educated people in the middle flashed with doubts.
The pastor continued: "Do you know what this five hundred million is? This is equivalent to each of you handing over a big fat pig every year.
Yes, no doubt about it. It’s everyone, not just the laborers who can work in the fields, including children who can’t walk, old people who can’t walk, everyone in every family~!
Think about it, if you don't have to pay this money, you can now have a delicious meal of potato stewed pork every other day.
It’s still as white as snowflakes. It’s fat and greasy. And it’s enough~!”
After hearing his vivid metaphor, everyone was in an uproar: As long as the high priest is overthrown, everyone can eat big fat?
The pastor continued to speak loudly: "With this money, women can buy a lot of floral cloth and make clothes for the whole family."
The women standing in the crowd immediately exclaimed, and their eyes widened: It turned out that the high priest had taken away everyone's new clothes.
The pastor continued: "With this money, everyone will buy a strong cow to help farm the fields."
Everyone couldn't help but be in an uproar again: a cow, for most people, can be said to be their ultimate dream.
As long as they have cattle, they can plant more land, harvest more food, earn more money, marry a more capable wife, build a bigger and stronger house, and have a fat baby...
Almost everyone is intoxicated in this wonderful dream.
At this time, the pastor snorted coldly, as if poking a balloon with a needle, and shouted loudly: "But you don't have any of these~!"
You live in poverty, living in the simplest thatched houses.
You have worked so hard for a year, and all the food has been taken away by the tax collectors. Not even the people in your family, even the dogs have enough to eat.
Even in winter, your children can only play naked.
Why is this? Ah. Why?”
Everyone was silent.
The priest shouted loudly: "This is because of the high priest, because he is squeezing and exploiting you. Taking away the food you have worked so hard to grow, taking away your clothes and fabrics, taking away your big fat pigs, taking away you
of cattle and sheep…”
Under his instigation, everyone's eyes turned red without realizing it: It turns out that the high priest is really a bad guy~!
However, years of pressure and fear have made them form a habit. Although the priest shouted for a long time and his throat was almost broken, no one dared to stand up and respond to the priest's call.
The pastor couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: It seems that preaching here is really not an easy task. It seems that it will be impossible without a killer move~!
Thinking of this, he immediately winked at a small Semitic officer next to him.
The latter took a step forward. He took out a piece of paper from his arms, then waved it over his head and shouted loudly: "According to the newly promulgated economic decree of the Semitic Provisional Republic Government, now, everyone
As long as we, the Semitic people, convert to the Holy See of our Great Demon God, be baptized and receive alms, swear to be loyal to His Majesty the Great Demon God, and swear to be incompatible with the evil High Priest of the Undead.
Every household can be allocated ten acres of land per head~!"
As soon as he said this, it was like throwing a spoonful of cold water into a hot oil pan, and it exploded with a 'boom'.
Land is the foundation of all things.
No matter what era it is, human beings' desire for land is always infinite.
For these people, most of them have no land and are just tenant farmers working for the big landowner Ivan. Because of this, they all long to own their own land.
For land, they are even willing to sell their souls.
Now when they suddenly heard that someone actually wanted to give them land, everyone almost went crazy.
Everyone's eyes turned green, and they stared at the young officer fiercely like vultures. If he said something wrong, he would be torn into pieces on the spot.
Although the young officer was also passing by the battle formation, he was startled when he saw their eyes and couldn't help but take two steps back.
Someone immediately shouted: "Liars, you are liars. The land here belongs to Mr. Ivan's family. Where did you get the land to share with everyone?"
Everyone couldn't help but was in an uproar again, talking and talking among themselves.
In order for the Western Expedition to go smoothly, Lord Luo integrated the State Administration of Taxation and the government so that they could seamlessly connect.
Leo takes the land here, and when the other side gets the news, he can start the redistribution of the land.
They are extremely efficient and have completed their work even before many local people know it.
The pastor stepped forward and said to everyone: "My brothers, please be quiet for a moment. Listen to me.
Because the provisional government laws stipulated that a family with more than 300 acres of land would be subject to high progressive taxes, so Ivan sold all the more than 10,000 acres of land in his name to the government.
Now the government plans to distribute these lands to everyone. As long as you are willing to follow the banner of the Great Demon God and swear to be incompatible with the High Priest of the Undead."
I’m in a big trough~!
Are there really such good things in this world?
All the people were immediately overjoyed, and their heads were about to explode with excitement.
Several old men tore off their clothes, exposing their dark chest hair, beating their chests with both hands, and roaring like crazy gorillas.
Be at odds with the high priest?
What's so great about this?
For land, everyone can sell their souls to the devil.
Seeing the people cheering and shouting, the pastor couldn't help but tremble in his heart even though he was smiling.
Even though he had a firm belief, he couldn't help but secretly write in his diary later: I was very suspicious. At that moment, was I a pastor who came to spread the light doctrine, but a devil who tempted them to fall?
