Lords of the Heavens

Chapter 395 What needs to be appeased most is people's hearts.

quickly,

Li Wei then led Mark to the building used to imprison prisoners.

But it wasn't really imprisonment, because besides their own soldiers, they were guarded by their former teammates, friends, and even relatives and family members.

Now these people are completely normal. Just give them two professional cards and they'll be promoted to three-star professionals in a very short time.

Advancing to four stars in the future won't be too difficult.

This is even the foundation for Li Wei's future applications for conquest missions; 300 strong, off-duty soldiers are not so easy to gather.

In fact, the 82 cavalrymen who were selected earlier were already the best of the best.

Even so, no one was able to obtain a rare cavalry card, which shows that among these cavalrymen, apart from Zhao Xuanxuan and the nine riverside knights, the rest were barely considered to have above-average aptitude.

To gather 300 full-time elite soldiers, we need to expand our search.

Right now, there are fifteen ordinary people who have been transformed from centaurs. If we let them use cavalry cards, they might just get rare cavalry cards.

There are also six half-pigmen and three half-cowmen who have been transformed into ordinary people. They are clearly more suited to the heavy infantry route, and it would be even better if they could trigger the Blood Burning talent.

In addition, there are 12 ordinary people who have been transformed from half-cat people. What kind of professions can they mainly pursue in the future? Perhaps they will become scouts?
In short, Li Wei now considers these 37 people as his future subordinates.

So Li Wei stopped outside, his gaze sweeping over the men and women one by one. Their eyes were filled with fear and a little apprehension, because they couldn't really be sure that they would be normal people from now on.

They can now feel that their power has not been lost and is still dormant in their bodies. What if they wake up one morning in the future and find themselves transformed into a centaur, a pig, or a cat again?
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's get to know each other again. My name is Li Wei, the same Li Wei who killed Duke Blazing Flame last year. Now, I have obtained the identity that belonged to Duke Blazing Flame. I am now Viscount Li Wei of Blazing Flame."

Li Wei spoke loudly, and Mark and the others behind him looked slightly surprised. Was it something we didn't explain clearly?

It's not these guys who have become normal people who want to talk to you; it's the superhumans who are imprisoned inside who want to have a conversation.

Now that they've become normal people, they're naturally on our side.

At this moment, the 32 Level 4 Centaurs, 15 Pigmen, 7 Cattlemen, 9 Catmen, and 4 Sheepmen imprisoned in the building also pricked up their ears, and for a moment wondered if the messenger had confused things.

It's us who need to have a dialogue, not those "normal" people outside.

However, no one would want to make a scene at this time; as prisoners, they should naturally be aware of their status.

At this moment, the 37 people were also in the same boat, carrying a subtle psychological state.

Li Wei, seemingly unaware that it was a misunderstanding, continued loudly, "There are many theories about the cause of this disaster. I think the Ice Duke once told you about it. I will not explain anything to you here, nor do I have the ability to analyze such a magical out-of-control frenzy that is said to span many light-years."

"All I can say is what I've personally experienced. Mark! Step forward!"

Upon hearing this, Mark immediately stepped forward and stood next to Li Wei.

"This is Mark, the Templar Knight and priest of the Temple of the Gods, who was like a messenger of the gods last night. But ten months ago, he was an out-of-control superhuman under Duke Flame, an infected person with a level three blood plague. At that time, he transformed into a stone giant, completely lost his mind, and only knew how to kill. I think you can understand the scene without me having to describe it in detail."

"But now, he has returned to normal and become a Templar Knight who can save those infected by the Blood Plague!"

"And there are many more examples like this. Among my cavalrymen, at least forty were once infected with the blood plague, but now they have all become my most loyal subordinates, and they have never worried that the blood plague will suddenly relapse one day."

"So I can officially tell you that you will be the same. Not only will you become normal people, but you will also be able to embrace extraordinary power as normal people!"

"Now, I formally invite you to become free citizens of my territory. As your lord, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect your lives and grant you the right to acquire legitimate wealth through your own labor, to marry and have children in my territory, and to live and work in peace. At the same time, you also have the right to join my legion, to carry swords and shields and fight for me. Naturally, I will also bestow upon you higher status and rewards!"

“I am not only speaking to you, but all the natural persons present, including those poor people still affected by the blood plague, will enjoy this right.”

At this point, Li Wei paused, looked up at the direction from which the sun was shining in the distance. It was about nine o'clock in the morning. Zhao Xuanxuan and the others should have already returned to the territory's main camp. So, Ah Dai should be arriving soon.

That's what teamwork is all about!
Will Liang Yuzhi and Li Yue know what he needs?
Sure enough, a dozen seconds later, as if by miracle, Ah Dai's huge figure appeared from the southeast. It even brought up a gust of wind, and the next second it turned into a golden light and returned to the five-star pet card. A few seconds later, it reappeared with full health and handed over a total of five hundred one-star professional cards.

That's right, this is exactly what Li Wei needs right now. Faced with an unstable individual filled with confusion and fear about the future, no words can compare to the persuasive power and impact of binding and activating a profession card.

Because this is a relatively safer and more respectable new path.

"Gentlemen, I know what you are thinking, and I know the beliefs you once held dear, but that's all in the past. We humans are better off just being human."

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Wei waved his hand, and five hundred one-star professional cards flew into the air. In an instant, 37 of the most suitable professional cards flew out and bound and merged with the 37 natural people who had been transformed.

They may have hesitated a bit, but in the end, without exception, they all made the right choice.

Then, without Li Wei saying anything, they could feel this miracle on their own, as if all the experience and skills they had learned and mastered in the first half of their lives had been materialized at this moment.

Unless they were completely useless in the first half of their lives, or unless there was truly no suitable professional card for them, then there was nothing Li Wei could do.

In short, in less than a minute, everyone's first profession leveled up to two stars in a flash.

Subsequently, the second round of professional cards arrived, allowing them to bind and activate them again.

As expected, it's the same.

With two two-star professional cards, that's 20 free attribute points. Adding those left in their original bodies, they all completed the first-level awakening of all attributes in a short period of time.

This is the potential of a powerful soldier.

In the future, once you reach four stars, you can easily achieve level two awakening for all attributes.

Of course, it takes a long time to accumulate one's destiny and title.

At this moment, Li Wei didn't say anything more, but simply had someone prepare food. After a big meal, the spirits of these 37 people were already higher than ever before. No matter how eloquently they were described, it couldn't compare to personally experiencing the beautiful and bright future.

When they looked at Li Wei again, their fear had turned into awe, and their unease had turned into loyal support. From now on, he was one of their own, one of their own with shared interests.

If the centaurs, pigmen, and goats inside want to rebel, they have to ask for their consent first.

It wasn't until this point, after nearly an hour of commotion, that Li Wei finally stepped into the building. Inside, the 32 level-four centaurs, 15 half-pigs, 7 half-cows, 9 half-cats, and 4 half-sheeps had been eagerly waiting.

"Great Viscount Flame, we are willing to serve you, and our weapons will obey your commands. So please bestow your favor upon us. Please do not abandon us!"

"A half-pig pleaded, his eyes brimming with tears," a half-pig pleaded.

"Please rest assured, everyone. I will not abandon you, nor will the gods. In fact, I am overjoyed by your arrival. You are all powerful and experienced warriors, which is exactly what my territory needs."

“But our Templar Mark needs some time to unleash that divine spell that can reverse the blood plague. I hope you can be patient. And I promise that from this moment on, I will no longer supervise you or restrict your freedom.”

"If you still yearn for the call of the wild, the open gates here are yours to leave. If you wish to return to human form, then obey my command, for we must abandon this place and return to my territory, where I am preparing to build a great city. Perhaps that will be the beginning of your new destiny."

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, the other ability users fell silent. After a long while, a half-goat man stood up and said, "May I ask, Your Excellency, how long is the cooldown time of that Templar Knight Mark's divine spell? Since we are willing to stay, none of us want to continue being half-orcs."

"That's right, Lord, please tell us frankly, or tell us what price is required to unleash this divine spell. We are willing to bear it or help you. But please give us hope. Our request is that simple," another half-bullman shouted in a muffled voice.

"Alright! Gentlemen, please be patient. To be precise, it will take at least six months and at most a year, I can guarantee that, because the Templars' divine magic is not something that comes out of thin air, but requires the faith of the free people of the territory to be gathered."

"Last night's battle, the divine magic that Mark unleashed directly exhausted all the faith of the free people in my territory. This faith can only be generated once a year, so it will take at least a year, and at the fastest half a year, because this time, a large number of natural people will join my territory. They need to live and work in the territory. If they are lucky, and if they can have a devout heart towards the gods, then this faith can be restored."

Li Wei didn't try to hide anything and just said it directly.

There's nothing that can't be said.

The core tenets of the Alliance of Lords of the Heavens can be presented directly.
