Warhammer in a box

Chapter 56 Divine Magic
"Female priestess? Is this the reason why she uses faith to perform magic?" Zhang Heng had a vague guess after hearing this.

Zhang Heng touched the holy fire in front of him again, and sure enough, Rebecca's skill panel appeared.

The only difference is that his skill panel has no personal lines, and all options represent active skills.

The first skill on the only skill line was called "Receive Blessings". Zhang Heng checked the skill description.

Standing in the presence of a truly devoted disciple of the God-Emperor, one can bask in their faith and belief. With this gift, the believer radiates an aura of pure faith and devotion to the Emperor, which can be experienced by those around them.

This aura would dispel fear and doubt and fortify hearts and minds against the evils of Chaos, giving the Emperor's followers the strength to fight against their most evil enemies.

Prerequisite: Pure Faith
There are also several skill bars at the back that are also locked.

"Halo auxiliary skill?" Zhang Heng found it more and more interesting.

Gulman continued, “After rescuing her, the soldier mentioned to me that because she was wearing the sacrificial garments of the goddess Rhea at the time, bringing the sacrifices of other gods to us might have an impact, and he asked me what to do. Her condition was very bad at the time.

She was malnourished and her mental state was even worse, so I chose to bring her back.

I also heard about her after I came back. Maybe she was stimulated or survived a disaster, she actually began to fanatically believe in our emperor and gave up her original beliefs. I thought it was a good thing so I didn't care about it anymore, but now..."

Gulman said this with a bit of envy. Rebecca now looks just like Ludwig when he was blessed. Could she have become God's chosen one?
As the goddess of fertility and harvest, Rhea has widespread believers throughout the empire, but because she is too widespread, most of the imperial civilians only believe in her to some extent, which also makes most of her believers very shallow believers.

"I'm very familiar with her current appearance..." Marcus said.

"how do I say this?"

"We also have a religion that believes in the Emperor. We call it the state religion. You can't imagine the scale of the state religion. It is the only religion we recognize!
Although I have not seen it with my own eyes, I know that those who do not have psychic powers... or what you call magical talent here, can use the divine arts bestowed by the Emperor with the support of extreme piety and pure faith!

Divine magic can make people forget their fear, gain strength, repair injuries, and even defeat enemies that they would never dare to imagine.

I felt the power of Rebecca to dispel fear and gather her will. I think she is the kind of person I was talking about..."

Gulman listened, and Zhang Heng listened as well. It turned out that these 40k natives understood these things better.

And obviously according to Marcus, there is still a lot of room for development of Rebecca's power, such as the blocking skills later.

In the future, it will also represent the two power systems under his command.

One relies on the individual combat power on the skill panel and the equipment given by Zhang Heng to defeat the opponent, while the other relies on the magic formed by the power of Zhang Heng's faith to develop more believers.

Zhang Heng guessed that he would be able to develop some offensive magic in the future.

After figuring out the meaning of the special space he was in, Zhang Heng tried to silently say "exit" in his mind, and he actually exited, but he was still standing at the door of the toilet.

As the number of believers increases, the influence of faith on him becomes greater and greater.

Zhang Heng was a little worried that he might not become a superman in the future.

On the first day, I want to maintain world peace.

The next day, I didn’t eat beef…

He shook his head to drive these strange thoughts out of his mind. Morality and conscience told him that he must never do this.

When he returned to the box again, Zhang Heng found that Rebecca had been surrounded by the crowd, and her temperament had changed, exuding a holy aura.

After instructing Marcus and Gulman to protect Rebecca, Zhang Heng lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

When he woke up, he found that he had only slept for less than three hours, and his sleep time was getting shorter and shorter.

Zhang Heng, now fully refreshed, looked at the world in the box again. This time, his gaze returned to Ludwig.

At this time, tens of thousands of imperial reinforcements had successfully entered the Nordic territory.

But they were surprised to find that several villages along the way were empty, without even an elderly person to be seen, and even the children were nowhere to be found.

The soldiers checked the villages carefully, but every village showed that the people there had left on their own accord, and there was not even a trace of fighting in the village.

"Ludwig... where could these people from Nord go? How is it possible that we can't even see a single person!" West asked, scratching his head. "If the people in these villages want to escape, they will definitely take the road we came from. They won't abandon the main road and enter the dangerous jungle.

Since we didn't encounter any fleeing troops along the way, there is only one possibility, they are heading towards their capital, Sessenmond!"

Ludwig analyzed.

"Go to the capital? Isn't it under siege? Are these people crazy? It's okay for the soldiers, but wouldn't the civilians be committing suicide if they go there?" West felt that Ludwig's analysis was beyond his understanding.

"No matter what, as long as we keep moving forward, we will know the answer soon!"

Because they were carrying artillery from Nuln, the entire team did not move very fast.

But in the afternoon, the advance reconnaissance troops of the reinforcements found the missing Nords.

The scene before them left the scouts dumbfounded.

"You Nords are surrounded and need rescue, right? Why don't you look like you need rescue?"

These fifty or so Nords wearing only simple leather armor were chasing more than thirty Norse raiders with swords and shields!

Among the pursuing team, there were old and young people, even an old man with gray hair.

Norsca, who was supposed to be the attacker, was actually overwhelmed in momentum.

"For Ulric!"

The Nords' attack completely defeated the Norse army.

Just as these Norsemen were fleeing into the dense forest separately.

The sound of "Swish, whoosh, whoosh" was heard breaking through the air.

Arrows shot from nowhere accurately hit the throats of these barbarians.

The bravery of the Nords also inspired the knights of the White Wolf Knights from Middenland in the reconnaissance team.

They also shouted for Ulric and attacked the remaining Norscans.

Under the attack from both sides, no Norseman managed to escape.

After the battle, hunters armed with bows and arrows emerged from the dense forest.

These people are not soldiers from Nordland, they are just hunters from Nordland. But don't underestimate these Nord hunters, they rely on this forest to survive.

They knew the terrain well, and what was even more amazing was their archery skills, which were so impressive that even the wood elves would praise them.

"Nords! How come you are here and fighting with these barbarians?"

The White Wolf Knight asked as he put away the sword in his hand.

"We weren't the ones chasing them. It was these barbarians who were chasing us. Luckily they were unfamiliar with this place and we killed them! Sir White Wolf Knight, are you reinforcements from the Empire?"

The oldest of the Nords said.

"That's right! The Empire's troops are not far behind us! What's the current situation?"

"Quick, quick, quick! You have to hurry! The surrounding towns and villages have received orders for support. We have hidden the women and children. All the soldiers are rushing to support Lord Geisel!

Our village was one of them, and we formed a team and arrived at Sessenmond!

There were so many barbarians! I had never seen so many barbarians before! They surrounded the whole city! There were also huge beasts! We tried to attack, but those beasts were too terrifying. Many of us died, and we had to split up into teams and retreat out of the forest.

Those Norscan barbarians just chased us and tried to kill us!"
