The howling waves kept hitting the sides of the giant ship, rippling with endless splashes, the majestic and ferocious battleship did not hesitate for a moment, just like a mountain reef, proudly riding the wind and waves, moving forward in the deep sea area.
On the top of the battleship, the flag of blood-red skull and dagger was fluttering, followed by a large number of warships, with hideous cannons and dense pirate figures on it, even the largest caravan would be scared out of their wits when they saw it.
Because this is the Crimson Tiger Pirates! The overlord of the pirate forces off the coast of Dambras!
At this time, the Crimson Tiger seemed to be the best of the best. Not only did it have more than a hundred huge warships, but it also had a manpower of more than five thousand.
At this level, even if the Crimson Tiger has gone through several expansions, it is obviously not enough.
However, with the addition of the idea of relocating from the North and other elites, a powerful pirate force that could resist the imperial navy was directly formed.
"I didn't expect... the thing about the native empire is actually true..."
On the bow of the Crimson Tiger, Isabelle's legendary red dragon long sword hung from her waist, her eyes were fixed on the distant sea horizon, and there was a faint murderous intent in her eyes.
After all, the pirate leader still couldn't forget the fact that the natives had set the Nightmare Island together last time.
It is also because of Isabelle's continuous attacks on the native tribes that she finally obtained a lot of information about the overseas native empires. This time, she has determined the specific location and is ready to strike hard!
"It's just... I didn't expect my cousin to agree to this plan and even come here in person..."
Isabelle looked in the direction of the cabin, her eyes were serious: "Is it for the sake of faith... to confer gods? Could it be possible for our family to produce a god?"
In the past, Isabelle would not have dared to have such blasphemous thoughts, but it is different now!
The miracle that Leylin brought her was not once or twice. For this cousin, Isabelle had unprecedented confidence!
Moreover, Isabelle also directly felt the divine power in Leylin this time.
"This time... For my cousin's great cause of becoming a god, no matter who the enemy is in front of me, I will kill him directly!!!"
Isabelle held the hilt of the red dragon long sword and secretly made up her mind. This awe-inspiring aura made the surrounding pirates look at their leader tremblingly.
——After being transferred to a professional Dragon Sorcerer, with the help of [Dragon King Divine Power] meditation method, Isabelle not only completely suppressed the demonization of her body, she has even crossed the threshold of [Legendary] and became a legendary Dragon Sorcerer !
Off the coast of Dambreth, Isabelle's original title of Scarlet Witch has gradually been replaced by 'Daughter of the Red Dragon'.
And she and Leylin have also become the two dominant forces in the outer sea, one bright and one dark, and they are deeply feared by forces who know their details.
This firm belief was also transmitted to Leylin's heart.
Leylin, who was sitting quietly in the captain's room, couldn't help but smile faintly.
"Believe because of love?" Feeling an extremely thick line of faith in the void, Leylin couldn't help but nodded.
After learning that he has the ambition to become a god and has obtained a sliver of divinity, Isabelle immediately became his believer, and even started to promote the belief of the Feathered Serpent God Kukulkan among the pirates, although On the sea, Leylin was no match for gods like the God of Storms, but with Isabel's method, some pirates began to convert.
What surprised Leylin even more was that Isabelle's belief in him was extremely firm and fanatical, even a little firmer than the wording.
If Leylin had become a god now, he had no doubt that Isabel would become his fanatic.
"It's a pity... It's a fluke to cultivate one who can really be so fanatical in faith..."
Feeling the belief of other pirates, Leylin couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.
Although Isabelle is now desperately supporting his faith, it is a pity that he is still only a divine being, at most he can only answer the prayers of believers, and there is no magic power to lower, which makes his competitiveness completely inferior to other True gods and even false gods like demigods and devils.
After all, the eyes of believers are discerning, Leylin can't give anything now, how can he make them give without reservation
If it weren't for Isabel, the 'powerful person' who spared no effort to promote it, I'm afraid his feathered serpent belief would have gone to the street long ago.
"Therefore, believers must be given benefits as soon as possible... In addition to being promoted to a demigod and bestowing divine spells, other material compensations are given through one's own power... This is also the principle of equivalent exchange..."
Leylin suddenly had a clear understanding.
In essence, the way of belief in the world of the gods also follows the wizard's principle of "equal value exchange".
Believers pay their faith, and the gods promise to lead their dead souls into the kingdom of God, and provide shelter and magic. The so-called thread of faith is essentially a god-man contract.
Of course, even if it is an exchange of equal value by wizards, it does not mean that the two parties must pay the same amount, it is just that the items traded have value in the eyes of both parties.
In the same way, when it comes to the contribution of believers and gods, believers pay more, while gods pay less. Only this kind of "superior" situation can make the gods' divine power continue to accumulate, and thus be promoted to a more powerful state.
It is a pity that in today's increasingly fierce competition among the churches of the gods, in order to better absorb more believers, the gods have to give more to the believers and compete with each other, forming a situation of vicious consumption.
Even, there are devils and demons fighting for food.
"This is also the sorrow of the gods, because the foundation lies in mortals, so we must never give up the belief in the main material world... The gods who lose their faith will gradually die out. It seems that they can last for a long time, but in essence they are still a dream..."
Leylin sighed, this kind of path controlled by others, even if it is powerful, cannot attract him to devote himself completely.
Now he is just a clone, the main body is still walking the way of the ancient warlock, this has never changed! That is the power that really belongs to you! Leylin knew this very clearly.
Of course, under the rules of the world of the gods, the way of faith is the most suitable way, and there are many things to learn from.
Leylin is just a clone, so he can naturally try to confer the gods without hesitation.
"However... even I didn't expect it. I just wanted to find a place to expand my beliefs and understand the killing field, and the native empire popped up directly... Could it be that the force of the world is favoring me, so my wishes come true? what joke?"
After thinking about the god-man contract, Leylin turned his attention to other aspects.
He was still thinking about conquering a territory to promote the integration of believers, as well as comprehend the killing field and spread the faith, but he didn't expect the native empire to appear directly.
Although there have always been legends of the native empire in the sea off Dambreth, and Leylin had heard some related news, Isabelle just happened to discover several safe routes, so it was too much of a coincidence. It made Leylin smell something different.
For the will of the gods, he is an outsider after all, and he is also the mortal enemy of the gods - a wizard, will he take care of him? I wish it would be more normal for him to die!
"This situation? Could it be that after reincarnation, the will of the world has regarded me as a complete native and wants to win me over? Or is it that the will of the gods is too sleepy and unable to respond to the outside world... Or, is it a check and balance? ?Because the pursuit of the gods deviates from the will of the world of the gods, has there been a betrayal?"
Many possibilities flashed in Leylin's eyes, and were deduced by the chip to simulate possible changes in the future.
"The future is changeable... but there is no mistake in grasping the present!"
After planning for a long time, Leylin heaved a sigh of relief, "No matter what, occupying the territory of the empire, comprehending the realm of killing amidst the constant killing, and expanding the faith are the top priorities right now..."
Thinking of this, Leylin sent out a divine thought directly.
"Master!" A moment later, Tifa's figure emerged from the darkness, silently, without any energy fluctuations.
"Have you met Isabelle? You will cooperate with her in the future to expand my faith in the native empire..."
A golden light flashed in Leylin's eyes.
"I've seen it... The master still has this kind of strength in the open sea, so what is the native empire?"
Tifa said respectfully.
He was still very surprised and relieved that Leylin still had a legendary-level bloodline under his command, and of course he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest about Leylin's oracle.
Seeing Tifa's figure disappear, Leylin nodded secretly.
This time, the retreat in the North Land was relatively smooth. Although some people were lost in the process of breaking it into parts, they were all peripheral forces who did not know the core secrets. The priests, which Leylin valued the most, were finally safe and sound. Landing in the open sea gave Leylin the confidence to start a war with the native empire.
After all, in the process of occupation, belief can often play an unimaginable role.
And this war can also be seen as the selection and training of pastors. From Leylin's perspective, there must be a large number of talents who can be discovered and establish a solid foundation for the formation of the church in the future.
The two legends of Isabelle and Tifa, a well-tried army, and Leylin, a divine person, who personally sits in charge, and Faolan Island's continuous support in the rear, these are Leylin's confidence!
For this strategy, Leylin can be said to have dispatched all the elite under his command.
And his determination obviously cannot be accommodated by a little territory and population.
