The fisherman druid is in another world

Chapter 428: One Hundred Thousand Ammunitions Loaded

Breña, literally translated, means the country of the Bree people.

The Brei people started out as a nomadic people, and even though they eventually settled down, their customs and habits were still heavily influenced by plunder and slavery.

Because of their bad relations with other countries, they were attacked and lost their homeland again. But this time, they even lost their herding skills, and were left with only wandering.

Brenia's second rise was more than a hundred years ago.

A chosen one emerged from the Flashing Tribe, one of its more than thirty branch tribes.

Of course, this title was forcibly beautified after Brenia was founded for the second time. According to the relevant history of other countries, they were called "traitors" or "people who traded with foreign evil gods."

The Second Kingdom of Brenia, founded by the traitors, is an empire in nature.

Since the day of the founding of the country, they have always had a strong desire to possess the territory and population of other countries. They are also accustomed to shifting internal conflicts by plundering and expanding territory.

The Bree people have always cruelly oppressed and exploited other conquered ethnic groups, and do not allow their own people to intermarry with them. All mixed-race people are classified as foreigners, with a status lower than that of illegitimate children.

However, it is not surprising that they allow the conquered foreigners to believe in the same religion as them.

Moreover, its ruling strategy of "using barbarians to control barbarians" is tied to it.

In other words, only those devout believers of other races are qualified to become slave leaders who manage other races.

Of course, the name is not that straightforward.

The Second Kingdom of Brenia did not even have nobles, only upper-class people, citizens, and commoners.

And these common people are actually people of a different ethnic group who are like slaves.

Due to the effectiveness of the kingdom's state religion and the actual spiritual needs caused by oppression, many ethnic groups conquered by the Bree people were tamed over a long period of time and conformed to the state religion.

But where there is oppression, there is resistance. Among foreign nations, esoteric Buddhism still exists today.

The esoteric preachers hide among the common people, patiently searching for targets and opportunities like hunters to spread their teachings.

The most common way of spreading is when common people are treated unfairly and become angry, they will take the opportunity to get involved.

"Brother (sister), are you interested in learning about our XX people's traditional religion, XX? It is also the true God. Although it is obstructed by the evil god, if we believe in Him, at least after death, our souls can be redeemed and will not become food for the evil god."

These esoteric missionaries not only talk the talk but also hold regular psychotherapy sessions and "mutual aid activities," which naturally include reactionary speeches.

“Our nation actually has its own god. He failed to respond to our prayers at critical moments in the past because of the alliance between the evil god and the traitors.

The traitor stole the power of the Chosen One, joined the evil god, and betrayed the entire world. The traitor and the Bray people are both minions of the evil god, and their evil deeds will eventually be punished. "

"Brothers and sisters, we must embrace our own God so that after we die, we can return to His arms and be protected by Him."

"As for those who believe in evil gods and are willing to be slaves of the Bray people, they have been distorted and are no longer our true compatriots."...

I have to say that this set of esoteric gameplay is still very popular in the market.

After all, suffering makes a nation strong, and despair makes religion strong. The common people live a miserable and desperate life, and they do have great spiritual demands.

However, what these common people do not know is that the organizers of these secret cults are actually a religious industry of the Bray people.

More specifically, the dark god Essos, whose belief system is quite interesting.

Since He is a solo spirit, for various reasons He has no partner to play the good and bad roles to harvest faith, so He came up with this kind of "enemy belief system".

One is called dark faith, and the one believed by the Bray people belongs to this category.

Its characteristics are that it has a strong flavor of trading and an even stronger belief in Darwinism.

The capable ones are promoted, the incompetent ones are given way, performance speaks for itself, no personal connections are made, and the last ones are eliminated.

This cruel mode is the main feature of dark faith.

The other is called Desperate Faith, which is used on the common people. Undoubtedly, it is more difficult to preach, but it also has more benefits.

For example, the leaders of esoteric cults who act as false gods but are actually the mediators of the power of faith, according to the teachings of God, can intercept a portion of the divine power for their own use. They do not need hard training or any amazing talents to become extraordinary and powerful people with long life.

The 120,000 prisoners mentioned by Kalgon at the combat meeting on the magic ship actually refer to the esoteric believers.

One of the characteristics of esoteric preaching is empty promises.

Then there is a hidden danger, that is, if the promises made cannot be fulfilled for a long time, it will lead to a backlash on faith.

Specifically, an important concept is involved, which is the greed of false gods.

Essos was the kind of big boss who only looked at financial reports and not at details. He had too many industries, and the Xuanbing World was just a trivial one.

Even due to some special reasons, such as the Devil Refining Legion wanting to fight with the Black Star people here, not only will they not be harsh on the interaction between the power of faith and divine power, they will also give additional feedback.

Kalgon used the name of the Demonic Legion to take more divine power and do private work.

As a dark faction, behavior like that of Kalgon is very common.

Essos even turned a blind eye to this. He also knew very well what kind of existence he was ruling. These villains were far more greedy and cunning than the secular warlords and princes, and it was impossible to control them in a serious manner.

Of course, Essos also has his own way of controlling his subordinates, including but not limited to combining cruelty with interests, and constantly expanding plunder and conquest of territory.

To put it bluntly, the development path of the Dark Spirit is an extraordinary version of the mortal empire model.

If it cannot expand, or a series of conquests fail, then internal conflicts will directly cause the huge kingdom of God to collapse. Of course, due to its size and foundation, from the perspective of the mortal world, even if Essos stops expanding from now on, its kingdom of God system will not collapse until at least thousands of years later. The process of collapse will also take thousands of years.

But the false gods among the Bray people who intercepted divine power were far from having such wealth.

They usually earn a lot and spend a lot. They want everything, are extremely greedy, and want to get rich together, so they take a very heavy cut of the feedback power.

Those charlatans who work for the false gods also feel that they have worked hard and made great contributions. They have to act and speak earnestly. In order to blend in with the common people, they basically cannot enjoy a good material life openly, so it is reasonable for them to get more compensation.

In this way, the divine power that is truly returned to the believers becomes increasingly pitifully small.

This is also one of the main reasons why secret gatherings are so popular.

Find a few representative cases to provide treatment, so that the demonstration and publicity effects are achieved. Then it is PUA to let believers reflect on themselves, whether their faith is not devout enough or whether they have doubts.

But this is just like a pie in the sky, it works in the short term but won't work in the long term. Believers will notice something strange when they have a private conversation, and as they start to question, more and more loopholes will be revealed.

Faced with this kind of situation where they can no longer continue playing, the Pseudo-Gods will often take the initiative to resolve the problem.

Simply put, it is an uprising. First, focus on giving the people a sweet treat so that they can clearly feel the blessing they have received, and then encourage them to say that the auspicious time has arrived and it is time to welcome the gods back to their thrones.

Large-scale rituals, fanatical stimulation + sacrifice, after this wave of leeks are reaped, it’s time to start a new round of deceiving and harvesting leeks.

Therefore, in the Kingdom of Brenia, there were common people rebelling almost every few years. Some were suppressed, while others were said to have escaped successfully...

In fact, the so-called escape was just to give the common people who were still alive some ambiguous hope, making them think there were exceptions.

There were also people who spread the rumors in a so-called secret form, making the common people believe that someone had really succeeded and, under the guidance of the gods they believed in, escaped to the so-called promised land and lived a free and happy life from then on.

In fact, this is the same as tilling the soil and fertilizing the field. It is just to warm up the environment and pave the way for a new round of desperate faith.

In short, this project also has cycles, rules and boundaries.

And Calgon's demand that Brenia directly hand over 120,000 prisoners is a typical example of destroying cycles, rules, and boundaries, digging up the root of the problem all at once and draining the pond to catch all the fish!

Of course the Bray people were unhappy, as this was tantamount to cutting their flesh.

But they can't afford to offend the Demonic Legion at all.

The Demonic Legion is a dimensionality-reduction attack on them. Not only do they have the favor of the gods, but they also have strong combat power.

So faced with Kalgon's unreasonable demands, they could only swallow their anger and carry them out.

Just like that, a high-intensity propaganda campaign that was rarely used at ordinary times was launched at a certain esoteric cult gathering place.

The passionate speech was given by a 17-year-old girl. She had many elements, such as her usual personality and beautiful face, but she was completely disfigured by whipping and cutting. Her eyes were clear, her emotions were full, and her fighting spirit was high: "... In order to liberate our people, we must defeat the empire, defeat the evil Bree people, and embrace our God..."

This will certainly not be a one-man show. Although the girl is down-to-earth and approachable, her weight is not enough.

We need more people.

A middle-aged man with one eye blind and a simple temperament took over: "...Freedom is the birthright of every human being.

But the Breeders have taken it away from us since the moment we were born. We are exploited and squeezed by them from birth to death like cattle and horses.

We must fight for our rights and meet our God!"

An old woman also took the stage. After briefly explaining her miserable life, she shouted the slogan: "Welcome the gods, and defeat the evil king!"

The atmosphere has become heated, and the believers are encouraged to respond, and their shouts are becoming more and more uniform.

"A great cause requires sacrifice. Without sacrifice, there will be no victory. We cannot overthrow the rule of the evil king and the Bree people by our own strength.

But God can, and the world is on our side.

Welcome the gods, kill the evil king, and create a new world of freedom and equality! "...

These are actually all lines of speech, which were arranged long ago and even rehearsed many times.

As for why the actor is so sharp, it is naturally because of the blessing of extraordinary techniques such as hypnosis, the state of fanaticism, and the true-to-life interpretation, so it is extremely contagious.

As we all know, crimes of passion account for a very high proportion of crime patterns. Once people get emotional, they can do anything stupid.

He was already living a miserable and hopeless life, and it could even be said that he relied entirely on his faith to avoid triggering the self-destructive tendencies in human nature. Now he was being encouraged to the extreme, and was also secretly aided by drugs and incense.

Suddenly, the self-touching reached a certain extreme, and some people even cried on the spot because they finally had a decent death.

Sacrificing for justice, devoting oneself to a great cause, this is the highest devotion that will inevitably lead to the Kingdom of God after death. Such an opportunity is too rare, and usually one is required to be patient again and again...

In this way, the warming up of the offerings was completed and the sacred ceremony began.

Half of them were completed in the assembly venue.

The other half is a large magical weapon specially used to deal with the Juntian ship - the Sky Temple.

The Demonic Corps naturally has a lot of work to do, including facilities.

The Sky Temple sounds grand and impressive, but in reality it is more like a slaughterhouse.

The sacrifice is the ammunition, reload once and fire with force.

The twelve sky temples absorbed sacrifices from different regions of Brenia, just like another kind of energy storage. What's even more amazing is that before the energy storage is completed, they are thousands of miles away from the Juntian ship, almost impossible to predict in advance. They will not appear together until the moment of firing...
