Under Vincent Xiaozhi's persuasion with emotion and reason, Bishop Bellman finally made up his mind.
Based on Luke's confession under the Great Memory Restoration Technique, the Territory Church determined that there were cultists in the countryside to deceive people and launch rebellions, and therefore regarded the rebels as cultists.
If it weren't for the fact that the bishop wanted to send Luke and other cultists to the Holy See alive and had to use the demon necromancers to embalm them, which was a decision that obviously offended the people, he would not have made it anyway.
However, compared to the great merits of exposing a cult organization, eradicating the cult's dens, and capturing the cult priests and handing them over, the bishop can still decide which one is more important.
It is also the church's wish to have the lords suppress the rebellion as soon as possible and at least open up a safe road to the north.
So, with Vincent's approval, Luke, who had become a zombie, was led by the monsters and walked around the streets.
When the necromancer cast his spell, he made some moves and spliced a large number of ugly creatures with Luke. This disgusting mashup style perfectly restored the image of that night.
To be honest, the work was quite rough, and Vincent was not too satisfied.
If my brother, who is blessed by the God of Nature and is good at making chimeras, is here, he will definitely be able to come up with something decent.
The strange law popularization activity was very successful. People said that there were many stones, not enough were thrown, and they would throw more in the future.
Stones and garbage completely disfigured Luke, who had finally been repaired. Vincent had to have his men perform repair surgery before handing over Luke, who had long since lost his human appearance, to the church.
Luke is no longer a human being. There are bishops and priests in the church who can testify to this.
Next, the people of Silver Dragon Castle strongly demanded that the lord put down the rebellion and restore normal material supply.
The rebels are the rebels! The church has also provided a sacred reason to counter the rebellion, and everyone is looking forward to the lord's iron fist attacking.
Vincent, who secretly promotes public opinion, shrugged his shoulders and said that I am really not modest, so you should hire someone else.
After many concessions, Vincent finally reluctantly read two lines of poetry.
"To gain the advantage of one's territory, life and death depend on it, *****."
On the night when the lord decided to take action, the necromancer and the lich set out overnight, recruiting men from all over the mountains and fields near the castle to replenish the skeleton soldiers destroyed by Sadaka and the mercenaries.
In this era where people are dying of hunger as soon as they leave the city and lawlessness is everywhere, it is not difficult to find skeletons.
Even if human bones are incomplete, necromancers and lichs can replace them with bones from other animals.
The summoned skeleton automatically becomes the slave of the lord. After replenishing enough magic power and carving simple combat-type magic patterns, it becomes a soldier with combat capabilities.
With the Necromancer and more magic stones, Vincent can create a stronger army.
Now that we have soldiers, we also need weapons.
Since a lot of swords were seized, Vincent's main shortage was armor.
The manufacture of these things is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than ordinary weapons.
The God of Craftsman set restrictions in the system, but did not let Vincent give up using the protection.
After all, for such a good apostle, even the Lord God was reluctant to give up and spared him.
For this reason, Vincent was grateful but also not polite, and adopted a cunning but effective method to avoid it.
If I’m not allowed to do it myself, I can outsource it to others, right?
At worst, adding new protection is better than getting a bunch of debuffs or even having your account deleted.
In fact, as early as Luke and his gang completely defeated the law and all industries entered into a "public-private partnership" with the characteristics of the demon clan, some of them were pleased to place orders from the lords.
The carpentry and blacksmith workshops, which were already under-operated, are now busy this time.
If there is a shortage of manpower, the lord will send them some older children as apprentices. Anyway, there are plenty of candidates in the church.
If you are a craftsman, you will not go back to run errands and sing poems. You will stay as an apprentice and the lord will reward you.
Strictly speaking, the lord does not directly order goods, but provides materials and components and requires them to be processed according to regulations.
For example, one kind of assembled goods is a shield. The raw materials are mainly wood processed into round shapes, as well as pieces of thin iron plates, and some small parts such as grips.
These raw materials should basically be provided by the lumberyards and mines upstream, but according to the delivery driver, most of these things are actually transported from the lord's castle.
What is even more puzzling is that a lot of logs, crude iron and other materials are transported into the lord's castle every day.
What should appear in the castle should be daily necessities that the nobles should enjoy.
Every night, the castle gate will be opened and materials that have been made into wooden boards, iron sheets and small parts will be sent to the workshop.
Assembling is much easier than processing it from scratch. After receiving the order and a good processing fee, the craftsmen and apprentices worked day and night.
"Master, one thousand iron-clad wooden shields have been delivered to the military camp. They have also been inspected and accepted and have reached combat standards..."
On the afternoon of the third day, Niniya took a list and reported to Vincent, who was still busy with a pile of raw materials.
If you observe carefully, you will find that Walder seems to be absent-minded, her eyes are a little wandering, and she keeps wandering to the weapons and armor hanging on a pile of wooden shelves while speaking.
Although those weapons were only cheap versions and were not as clean and refined as those in the weapon shop, let alone the legendary weapons of the knights, they still caught Niniya's attention.
The helmet, which is made up of two riveted parts: the top of the skull and the visor, looks like an oval cooking pot from a distance. It really lacks aesthetics, but it seems to have good protection, and can defend against arrows and general slashes.
For some reason, the leader is called a "third-level leader".
The breastplate is just a piece of iron that is made of jerry-rigged materials, but no matter how ugly the plate armor is, it is still plate armor.
This thing is the inexplicable "Level 3A".
The skeletons were all equipped with armor. This configuration would definitely dwarf the army of ordinary noble lords consisting of a few armored knights and a large number of unarmored levied peasants.
But what puzzled her was that the lord's protection could be made independently, and more complex toys were no problem for him. Why couldn't he directly make armor and armor instead of letting the workshop do it for him?
"This can save money." Vincent once explained casually to Niniya, "it can also stimulate employment and maintain the operating rate of the workshop."
This reason is not very tenable. If you really want to save money, it must be the fastest and most economical way for the lord himself to use his divine power to rub it by hand.
Even though she has a special status and is often close to Vincent, she still lacks understanding of the God of Craftsman's protection.
Vincent never told her about the protection. Sometimes when Ninnia saw him looking at the materials alone and feeling depressed, she could guess that the divine power could not make him do whatever he wanted.
At that time, Niniya could see something in his lonely back that made the woman inexplicably sad and indescribable.
Some people who are lonely inside will pretend to be wild and happy.
Maybe the demons are the same.
"Where's the armor?" Vincent breathed a sigh of relief, put down a pile of wood pieces, and asked the skeletons doing chores to load the truck. Then he made time to ask Niniya, "How many of them are not equipped?"
"There are still about two hundred and eighty sets left." Niniya quickly glanced at the list and replied, "We have almost all the weapons."
"What is the effect of letting Sadaka lead his men to fight?" the lord asked again, "I don't know if the temporary contract is valid."
"Please rest assured that Sadaka is not only brave, but also knows how to command." Niniya replied confidently, "Elsa said that the children in their clan will receive military training from an early age. Sadaka is the son of the clan leader.
We even fought together."
"It's a pity that after their family's defeat, almost everyone in the clan was killed, including the clan leader himself." Vincent said this, with resentment appearing on his face again, "My hometown was occupied by the Herods, and the brothers and sisters who fled were deceived.
.”
"Luke is so damned, he actually lied to them to find their father." Niniya also said sympathetically, "In the end, the brothers and sisters were deceived and became slaves for ten years. Elsa was humiliated and almost became a cursed person.
Sacrifice."
"So the cults in the territory must be eradicated, and the soil where the cults breed must be eliminated. If the coastal territory is still a backward agricultural territory that relies on the sky for food, then the cults and the forces behind them will come back."
Vincent, who was about to teach the little girl a lesson and give her some political knowledge, accidentally discovered that Niniya had started looking at the armor in a daze again.
"Hey!" Vincent suddenly raised his voice, "My toy, why are you distracted again?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, Master, I'm really sorry."
Niniya woke up from a dream and apologized again and again.
"Let me ask you, is today your birthday?" A meaningful smile appeared on Vincent's face, "I have already found out."
Niniya was stunned for a moment, her expression was both surprised and a little shy. She was really cute in an indescribable way.
"Yes, my master, I didn't expect you..."
"Happy birthday to you! Come to me in my room tonight. I want to celebrate your sixteenth birthday that you will never forget."
After saying that, Vincent stopped talking and turned around to devote himself to the rest of the work.
When he turned around, he actually saw it secretly.
As the girl hurriedly saluted and thanked her, her face turned crimson.
