Recalling the hardships along the way, and the smooth return this time, even Aya felt a bit dreamy.
"This is the blessing of my lord Kukulkan!"
Thinking of this, Aya couldn't help but clenched the holy emblem in her hand, and began to pray silently.
"Hmm! The capital of the Zacatecaz Empire! If you can conquer it and dedicate the entire city to my lord..."
A thought spread in Barbara's heart at this time, and it continued to expand.
This is not because she is too greedy, but because the journey has been so smooth!
Although she only brought out less than 10,000 troops from Fort Hope, along the way, many natives suffering from diseases cried and asked to join, and even the imperial army on the opposite side turned against each other in an organized way.
After receiving news from some secret channels and confirming the result of the god battle, even the upper nobles of the Zacatecaz Empire were shaken to a certain extent at this time.
And the result of this is that Barbara's army drove straight in without any effort, and even hit the vicinity of the enemy's capital without bloodshed. On the way, in order to obtain enough 'holy water' and the blessing of Feathered Serpent God, most of them were natives The refugees took on the original heavy secular work, and the slightest resistance was directly suppressed by the surrendered servant army.
Knowing that Fort Hope currently lacks population, Barbara unceremoniously accepted the refugees and troops who asked to join on the road, and actually expanded the original team five times in a short period of time! Now there are about 50,000 indigenous troops, and there are other refugees.
The original formulation was worried about the involvement of traitors and the like, but it seemed that the natives had no intention of this at all. Instead, the large number of people put a huge pressure on the command system and logistics, and several troubles occurred in a row.
And the Zacatecaz Empire seems destined to hit the street this time, and it can't even clean up such a bloated team.
Successive victories naturally boosted Barbara's ambitions.
"As long as the city of Dule in front is captured again, the capital will lose all its barriers..."
Barbara secretly calculated, and then she was a little stunned to see a burst of chaos erupting from the city in the distance, and thick black flames and whistling faintly passed over.
"Report!"
A knight galloped in, seeming to have some urgent military affairs.
"Let him come over!" Barbara waved her hand, and the guards who had blocked the knight dispersed immediately.
"Saint, the leaders of Dule City have jointly launched a rebellion. At this time, the city has been completely occupied, and they have agreed to give up their original beliefs and welcome the Feathered Serpent God—as long as we send them holy water as soon as possible! And the chaotic city also I hope we send someone to receive it as soon as possible... ”
"Go ahead!"
Barbara nodded and gave the order.
At the beginning, this kind of scene still excited her, but then it became numb after seeing too much.
Moreover, in the bottom of my heart, there is still a faint disappointment of losing the opportunity to do meritorious service.
However, at this time, she still has more important things to do.
Taking over the city went very smoothly. Under the threat of survival, there were very few false surrenders. Barbara just sent a group of people to help fight the fire according to her previous experience, and interviewed the next few leaders to ensure that the holy water would be supplied. Afterwards, the entire Dule City basically fell under her control.
The reason why it is said to be basic is that there are still altars and priests. This is also the last resistance force in the entire city of Dule.
The battle between beliefs is far more terrifying and intense than the secular world, so Barbara brought people to the altar without stopping.
"Saint, the altar here is dedicated to two [false gods], the flame giant Woods and the founding emperor Akban! Although the priests who believe in the flame giant have lost all their power, the priests serving Akban are still With the support of divine power, a small group of soldiers have also been attracted to stand firm here... "
A leader who took refuge before was leading the way, with a flattering smile on his face, but after taking refuge, their original totem god immediately became a "false god". reality.
"I know, leave the rest to the church!"
Barbara looked at the altar that seemed to be built as a fortification, and her pretty brows could not help but frown slightly.
Although she was somewhat disgusted by the betrayal of these leaders, she had to accept them as an example.
And after suddenly losing two [half-gods], the priests of Dule City can no longer meet the treatment needs of the epidemic, and it must be a death sentence to continue to stay. The betrayal made in order to survive, in Barbara's view, is also Very normal thing.
However, the opponent still left a group of resistance forces, which is a bit difficult to deal with.
"Let the warriors of the church come over!" After walking around the fortifications, Barbara finally realized the reality that the enemy's elite forces are also very strong, and also dispatched her own elite.
Among the natives, there are also extraordinary professionals. The more classic ones are [Jungle Hunter] and [Amazon Warrior]. They even caused a little trouble for Isabelle before.
At this time, most of those who stick to the altar are such professionals.
However, after the establishment of the Giant Serpent Church, Leylin, who had a large native population, also started to build up the church's armed forces.
At this time, a group of aboriginal warriors with lean bodies, naked upper body, and terrifying devil tattoos came to Barbara.
"My lord! God's warrior obeys your orders!"
"Very good! Warriors of my lord! Use your wrath to expel the last filth of false gods!"
Barbara stood in front and gave the order for the general attack.
Almost at the moment when the mobilization order was issued, these native warriors changed a lot. They roared one after another, their muscles bulged one by one, and they turned into little giants almost instantly.
The light of divine arts shone on them one by one, with the unique brilliance of Feathered Serpent God.
Under this kind of radiance, the devil tattoo on the aborigine's body also became more agile, and evil rays of light shot out from the two eyes.
And certain abilities that belonged exclusively to the devil were also blessed to these indigenous warriors.
"My god! Kill!"
These indigenous warriors with devil tattoos rushed forward without hesitation, and immediately caused a tsunami-like impact around the altar.
"The number of my lord's warriors has also increased..."
With a look of relief on Barbara's face, she and the other priests blessed these warriors with divine arts.
As a church, priests and armed forces are very important. For example, Tire has a career path of [Paladin].
And after Leylin combined Banks Island with his own reality, especially after using chip simulation calculations, he also established a new professional system for his church—[Devil Hunter]!
As the name suggests, as long as professionals who advance to this career path can gain a keen sense of devils and a hunter's unique tracking ability.
Even, by stimulating the devil runes on their bodies, they can also obtain part of the devil-like bloodline ability!
Although this kind of profession, which is similar to the combination of bloodline and warrior, is indeed extremely powerful, it also has a disadvantage, that is, it requires a lot of willpower from the incumbent!
Moreover, the pain experienced by branding the devil rune is also very terrifying.
But fortunately, Leylin currently has a lot of subordinates, and it is not a problem to find thousands of devil hunters by slowly sifting through the 300,000 natives.
And in this professional system, Leylin also specially arranged a backup.
That is, if he could catch a real devil and seal it in his body, that hunter would gain most of the devil's abilities! Even level up!
Only a hunter who has sealed the devil in his body can be considered a real [devil hunter]!
For a certain purpose, Leylin's relationship with the devil was not only a blood feud, but also a mortal enemy.
And he developed this kind of profession, which is naturally prepared for other devils on the mainland. Except for gluttony believers, everything related to devils will inevitably be fatally hit by [Devil Hunter]! Thus weakening the strength of the nine layers of Bator Hell!
Moreover, being committed to fighting the devil is absolutely "political correctness" among the gods in the mainland, and no one can say anything.
Barbara naturally didn't know that Leylin was thinking so much. At this moment, she was still admiring the amazing combat power of these [Devil Hunters].
At this time, those who retreated into the temple and the altar to guard, no need to ask, they must be die-hard believers of false gods, and there is no need to distinguish anything, just kill them directly.
When the inside of the altar was cleared and Barbara stepped into the main hall with a serious face, the blue floor was already stained red with layers of plasma, but even she didn't think there was anything wrong.
For these natives, plundering everything, even life, of the defeated is almost a matter of course.
At this time, in the center of the altar, there is still an obsidian statue of a warrior driving a chariot, but the steed in front of the chariot has been shattered a few days ago.
Buzz!
It seemed that he felt that he had been desecrated, and there was a terrifying pressure from the statue of the founding emperor Akban.
"Hmph! [False God]!"
For this, Barbara glanced at the original emperor with disdain, and clenched the holy emblem in her hand.
"My lord Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan! Please grant me strength!"
The divine light that belonged exclusively to Leylin burst out from the holy radiance, and the white light flashed. The huge pressure Mu Ran before disappeared, and there were even a few cracks on the opposite god statue.
"Destroy the god statue! Everything else related to the other party must be 'purified'!"
Barbara gave the order with a solemn face.
Soon, many idols, holy emblems, ceremonies, books, and even murals on the walls were pried off, and slowly burned to ashes in the flames.
