I'm a warlord in Africa!

Chapter 98 The Power of Faith
Listening to Cheng Mu's casual words, the faces of the high priests sitting in the front row looked a little unnatural.

It's not their fault. After all, no matter when, they have always been worshipped by the untouchables, but they have never been looked at like dogs like they are now.

This gap is not easy to accept even at this time.

But this person could take their lives very easily, leaving them with no way out.

It’s not that they haven’t thought about leaving Ethiopia, but what happened tonight was too sudden.

Who the hell could have thought that the entire southern region would be conquered in just one night?
Damn waste Utum, they had provided him with a lot of support before.

However, facing the current situation where the situation is stronger than people, several high priests adjusted their mentality and said softly: "We can help you rule Ethiopia better."

Cheng Mu looked a little impatient: "Speak to the point, don't talk nonsense!"

Several of the most senior priests looked at each other and continued, "We can provide you with a lot of financial support, and we can also help you control the people at the bottom and make them sacrifice everything for you."

“And we will also let all believers praise your name, and you will become the greatest person in Ethiopian history.”

After saying this, several people seemed to want to add some bargaining chips for themselves, and added: "Our religious history is very long, and many people in Ethiopia are our believers."

"For you, it is much more convenient to control these untouchables through us than to do it yourself."

Cheng Mu looked at the person who was speaking and asked, "No more?"

"."

"Gone."

Cheng Mu waved his hand and said to the soldiers, "Take all these people to the torture chamber."

"Yes!"

Just as these priests were about to speak out in explanation, they were stunned by the butts of their guns thrown at them by the soldiers, who showed no mercy at all.

Collecting money is collecting money, and imposing punishment is imposing punishment, they are two different things.

Who said I can’t beat you just because I took your money?

These priests could not understand why Cheng Mu treated them like this.

Aren’t the conditions I offer good enough?
There are so many believers in the southern region. Even if Cheng Mu wants to enslave them, it will take at least a few years to change their minds.

In addition to these, they are also willing to give away most of the money they have collected over the years. What else does this yellow man want?
From the perspective of these priests, this is indeed the case. No matter who comes to power, they have to control the untouchables through them.

But they overlooked one thing.

Cheng Mu is in trouble.

For Cheng Mu, the badge can help him quickly establish new beliefs in the hearts of the common people, replacing the so-called old gods.

Damn it, Cheng Mu got a little angry when he mentioned these two words. What the hell is a god?

What level are you at? How dare you be on the same level as me?
Tomorrow we're going to destroy all the fucking temples in Ethiopia!
After what happened, Cheng Mu didn't want to go back to sleep. He called a group of capable officials under his command. When they gathered around him, Cheng Mu lay on the sofa and said calmly:

"I don't know what happened to these priests in the southern region tonight. They all fell into the trap. This will also lead to a power vacuum in those temples in the coming period."

The eyes of everyone present lit up.

Everyone understands that right after a war, everything needs to be rebuilt, especially for a territory as large as Ethiopia.

With just one word from the great general, they can instantly transform into the ruling class.

And what Cheng Mu said just now seemed to mean the same thing.

In a power vacuum, who can do anything? Cheng Mu continued to speak, and everyone pricked up their ears and took out pens and notebooks from their pockets, fearing that they would miss any word the great general said.

"I thought about it carefully. The death of those priests will definitely have some impact on the beliefs of the Ethiopian people. I don't want to see this situation. After all, they also have the right to choose their beliefs."

As soon as Cheng Mu finished speaking, someone immediately rushed to speak: "Boss, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, but everyone's beliefs seem to have some deviations."

"They should believe in you, not that damn god. You are the real sun of Ethiopia!"

Cheng Mu nodded, picked up a piece of information and threw it in front of the man.

"Choose one of these temples."

A look of ecstasy appeared on the man's face. Being the first to choose meant that he could choose the richest place.

This also means that Cheng Mu sent me there to be the boss, as long as I can help the great general let the people there understand who the true belief is.

In an instant, everyone became excited.

"Boss, I can make the believers there kneel in front of your portrait for eight hours every day!"

"Boss, I can guarantee that the next generation there will have someone to provide prenatal education at their home while they are still in their mother's womb!"

"Boss, all believers will understand one thing. The gods they believed in before were actually created by you."

"..."

Looking at everyone's performance, Cheng Mu nodded with satisfaction.

Now the area he governs is so large that he must mobilize the enthusiasm of his subordinates so that he can better govern Ethiopia.

The day after these people were sent out, Cheng Mu also received a badge.

[Obtained badge: Power of Faith. 】

[Power of Faith: Fanatic worship of you begins to appear in your territory, so your personal prestige is greatly improved, social productivity is slightly improved, and public security is slightly improved.]

In addition to these things, Cheng Mu has been searching for the remnants of the Southern Alliance in the past few days.

Needless to say, those senior executives.

The first group of people who were arrested, based on the principle that they would rather die in prison than see others live outside, almost bit whoever they caught.

As a result, Cheng Mu’s professional torturers were not enough, so he had to urgently transfer a group of people with cruder methods to take up the responsibilities.

And then there are the soldiers who escaped before.

Cheng Mu had no intention of letting these people go.

They are factors of social instability and must be completely eliminated.

Moreover, this group of people had caused considerable trouble to the northern border before, causing the deaths of many civilians and soldiers on Cheng Mu's side.

All in all, Cheng Mu only has one thing to say about how to deal with the remnants of the Southern Alliance.

Everyone must die.

As for whether this would lead to international condemnation, Cheng Mu said, "I have already been sanctioned, so why should I be afraid of your condemnation?"

With reports from the public and large-scale looting, in just ten days, the soldiers who had escaped were almost wiped out.
