In the temple after the basic cleaning was completed, the statue of Feathered Serpent God was erected. Under the leadership of Saint Barbara, many warriors and military nobles knelt down and prayed together:
"Praise my God! Kukulkan, the Feathered Serpent God, you are the snake of the world that devours everything, and you hold the power to kill. Your body spans the universe, spreading past, present, and future. Your beautiful eyes are like the clearest lake. The sprinkling of lake water is the root of all healing..."
Amidst the many prayers, the statue of Feathered Serpent God slowly burst into a light, giving these believers a sense of peace and tranquility.
"My lord gave a response, the establishment of this idol is complete!"
Barbara's face was filled with joy, and then she prayed even louder, waves of faith gathered into waves.
In this wave of belief, the two eyes of the Feathered Serpent statue seemed to come to life, bursting out with agile light, and the dazzling divine power continued to expand in all directions, spreading to the temple, the city, and the surrounding sky, as if washing What, a golden field with a little bit of dark red was immediately repelled.
"This is a war between beliefs!"
From the perspective of a god, Leylin saw all this more clearly.
At this time, a large area with Dule City as the core has completely escaped Akban's control and is completely filled with his power.
And this also means that the opponent's field of belief has shrunk. From then on, the vicinity of Dule City is no longer Akban's home field, but has become Leylin's territory. If the opponent dares to come here, they will be weakened in the field. Most of the strength was subsequently slaughtered by Leylin like a chicken.
From the map, it can be seen that Akban's faith has been pushed to the limit at this time. There is only a small area near the capital, and the rest of the area is constantly surrounded and eaten away by Leylin.
After the king's capital is destroyed, it will be Akban's death!
This is also the sorrow of this kind of earth-bound spirits and earth gods! He couldn't abandon his followers and territory, otherwise he would kill himself, and because of this, Leylin didn't worry about Akban running away at all.
"In comparison, those [True Gods] are much better, and there are no restrictions on the scope of domain and belief. Even if they have fallen, as long as there is still faith in the main material world, and even believers call His former god name in their hearts, Can be resurrected directly... This kind of toughness is actually not far behind the regular wizard... "
Leylin thought lightly, then his eyes moved.
"Huh? This guy actually dares to come here?"
His body disappeared suddenly, and he walked out of a temple at the border.
"Squeak!!!"
In the mid-air there, a huge golden scorpion that looked like a millstone was already waiting.
"It doesn't seem to be here to fight!"
After seeing Leylin's arrival, the golden scorpion took the initiative to avoid it, put away the tail needle and giant pincers, and made a posture of submission, and a message was directly transmitted to Leylin's heart.
"I see, even if you only have the instinct of a beast, do you know how to follow the strong?"
The demigod of this golden giant scorpion obviously came to surrender. After witnessing the death of the golden two-headed lion and Akban's continuous weakening, this is a very normal thing.
"Then... prove your worth to me!"
There was a divine light flashing in Leylin's eyes, and a piece of information was passed on.
In fact, in his heart, he already had plans to accept the other party.
After all, the other party is the native god here, who has an indescribable role, and if he wants to expand his power in the future, or even establish a god system, he must follow the gods and belong to the gods.
Akban can't do it, because he represents the natives here, so he naturally has the right to inherit the rule of this area, so Leylin will directly destroy the opponent, but this giant golden scorpion is different, and it just happens to set a benchmark.
"You should be the totem of Gale, a big tribe among the natives, right?"
Leylin stared straight at the other party, "Use all your strength to participate in my siege of the capital of the Zacatecaz Empire. Only in this way can you prove your loyalty! And when it comes to the final battle of the gods, I also hope to see you figure!"
This condition is obviously not beyond the ability of the other party, and the other party hardly hesitates, and a thought of agreeing comes from the other party.
"Unconstrained alliance, before disaster strikes, it seems so fragile..."
Leylin looked at the place where the golden giant scorpion had left, with a sigh on his face.
Seeing the originally powerful foreign gods of the native empire weaken like this gave him a lot of vigilance. If he establishes a god in the future, he will definitely consider more comprehensively—not only a firm contract, but also an equal opportunity With the minimum of justice, no matter how powerful the main god who can't do these things, he still can't escape the fate of betrayal in the end.
"The final battle is about to begin!"
Leylin looked in the direction of the Zacatecaz Empire and spoke his prophecy.
…
As for Dule City, Barbara, who was preparing to take down the capital without any barriers in one go, also received orders from the church.
"Let me stand by here? Will the Pope and Lord Isabelle come in person?"
Barbara took a deep breath and looked at the messenger in front of her: "Of course I will obey the will of the Pope!"
No matter how afraid she was in her heart, Barbara did not dare to confront Tifa and the others head-on.
In terms of identity, she is still an aboriginal, but they are the earliest followers of the Feathered Serpent God. Although they have repeatedly advocated equality and freedom, this inherent gap is still difficult to make up.
Moreover, she is only a believer herself, so she will naturally be controlled by the church.
Barbara is deeply aware of the influence of Pope Tifa in the Serpent Church, and she is just a believer who has bathed in divine grace and has the title of saint.
As long as she is not the 'chosen' of the gods, she has no power against the reference.
"What should I do to get more grace from my God?" Barbara held her chin, lost in thought...
Leylin didn't pay much attention to the small thoughts of these believers. Anyway, no matter what the purpose was, as long as he wanted to live better on Bankoz Island, he had to get close to him.
But this time it was a war of annihilation, and a new country would be built on the corpse of the original Zacatecaz Empire. It was obviously impossible to entrust a saint to do such a thing of fame and fortune.
In fact, even the formulation seems somewhat inadequate.
There is only one type of person who can rule here, and who has both reason and law, and that is the Son of God with Leylin's blood!
Therefore, after Tifa and Isabelle arrived with the most elite 50,000 troops from Fort Hope, Leylin also quietly came to the barracks.
The encouragement and encouragement caused by the presence of the gods immediately raised the morale to a terrifying level.
In comparison, the reaction in the capital was very dismal.
Even a large number of nobles have chosen to abandon Akban and his descendants who originally ruled them, and secretly surrendered to Leylin.
When the Gale Ministry, which believes in the giant scorpion [half-god], also arrived with more than ten thousand elite warriors, merged with the forces of Fort Hope, and completed the siege of the imperial capital, even the most determined royalists did not have much in their hearts at this time. hoped.
Tall city walls can't stop the spread of the disease, and of course they can't stop the collapse of people's hearts.
In just three days, the capital of the Zacatecaz Empire was shattered under the cooperation of the inside and the outside. The native emperors were in the middle of the palace, and the flames even went straight into the sky. Watching the numerous bloodlines of the royal family turn into ashes together with the splendid royal palace.
And on the same day, Leylin intercepted Akban who was trying to escape, and directly killed him with the assistance of the giant golden scorpion. The Zacatecaz Empire, which had ruled Bankaz Island for more than five hundred years, was declared disintegrated. .
The capital was destroyed, the emperor committed suicide, and what was even more frightening was that all the gods he believed in were destroyed. The shock to the leaders and nobles in other places was huge.
After losing their allegiance, the forces that still choose to fight to the death with Fort Hope, which has the holy water to cure the disease, are a minority after all, and soon some people choose to surrender.
At the same time, in the new capital renamed Faolan, a brand new empire washed away all its filth in the flames of war, and was born on this world.
As a country where politics and religion were united, Leylin assumed the position of the first emperor without hesitation. After that, this country must also be ruled by the Son of God who inherited the blood of God until eternity.
The new empire quickly won the allegiance of the surrounding tribes. After annexing everything from the original Zacatecaz Empire and expanding its power to the entire Bankaz Island, intense efforts to eradicate the disease and reclamation began.
Under the dual effects of 'Holy Water' (specific medicine) and "God's Baptism" (man-made vaccine), the God of Death that ravaged the entire Bankaz Island was finally brought under control, and the reputation of the Giant Serpent Church among the people was also flourishing.
Since the war ended quickly and a large number of tribes were annexed, in the initial population count, an astonishing number of 920,000 was actually obtained.
Compared with the more than two million at the beginning, this epidemic took more than half of the lives of the indigenous people, but it also left behind a huge fortune.
After all, the total amount of resources is always so much. When the population increases, the average number will decrease. This is also the root cause of the constant bloody battles between the various tribes.
But now, the barren arable land greatly exceeds the needs of the population, so the originally intense social conflicts have been alleviated at once.
After organizing the reclamation and re-measurement of the cultivated land, and announcing the liberation of some slaves and granting the cultivated land, the empire immediately won a lot of praise and honor.
And the beliefs provided by these commoners were continuously absorbed by Leylin and became a firm force on his way to becoming a god.
