Four-Armed Divine Emperor

Although they were paid to do the work, they were very contractual. There might be one or two of them, but most of them were "scholars" who were not interested in secular politics. Therefore, there was no such desperate situation where there were wolves in front and tigers behind - the thugs they hired suddenly tore off their skin and turned into cannibals.

They really took the war seriously.

But it was just double digits, and El's descendants had already broken through three digits a long time ago and were still rapidly developing towards four digits - if you count those genetic servants such as servants and strongmen, the clan has already reached four digits.

There is still a slight gap in strength.

Even if only one-third of El's offspring are mature and possess the most basic first-level warlock + psychic strength, it is still a three-digit level.

The outcome of the war was beyond doubt for Al, and he didn't even bother to care.

If it weren't for the great pleasure of "deploying troops" and "commanding the army" to defeat the enemy and have kings and nobles kneel down to welcome him, Al might not have gone to the front line in person.

122: Rome!

The final outcome of this battle was beyond doubt. The king of the Kirin Tor died in the chaos. It was said that he was killed by a pillar of blazing light that fell from the sky, and his body turned to charcoal. His identity was finally confirmed by the melted golden crown on his head. King Moria fled back to the capital in a panic and led his people to surrender. Moraria opened the city without bloodshed. Ionia was a country with a dual monarchy. After the king and legion were annihilated, they made the same choice as the Morians.

The Southern Legion led by Caesar broke through the southern border of Moria and rushed towards the west of Thurso. Two months later, they saw the Storm Sea, the westernmost natural boundary of the Thurso region. If they took a boat, they could cross the sea directly to the free city-state in the prosperous realm.

And after the snowball-like expansion of Ai'er's army, as long as the captives were willing to work for the new conquerors, they were immediately transferred to ordinary troops and began to march towards the important places of the three countries. Soon, they occupied the three countries that formed the coalition with great momentum.

The resistance of Moria and Ionia was very weak. The war happened at Moria's doorstep and the armed march was almost decided by a single order. Only the Kirin Tor was defeated because of the death of its king. After its prince succeeded to the throne, he vowed to fight the enemy to the death. He got what he wanted. After the third son Cyrus led his troops to capture the Kirin Tor, all those who were related to the royal family were incorporated into the army and moved to the mountains. Camps were built in the mountains for these people to settle down and work, and the outstanding women in their tribe were sent to the palace, waiting for someone to "visit" them.

Chapter 112: Helen Cuiye (8)

If they could gain the favor of El, or even successfully conceive a child with a four-armed man, the status of them and their relatives would be greatly improved.

The entire war took less than three months, and the "Kingdom of Blaeo" successively captured three kingdoms. On average, it was almost a conquest war consisting of multiple "armed marches". Mortal soldiers were simply unable to resist the Norman army led by the descendants of Aiel and with the bonus of faith and equipment.

Without exception, those who resisted were either killed or forcibly relocated to the mountains. There, except for a very few strong-willed people, the vast majority of people eventually "genuinely" succumbed to the power of Ai'er. Fortunately, after the front-line army was defeated, the remaining people had neither the will nor the ability to resist the rise of the "Mage Kingdom" which had already come back to Thurso. Faced with the general trend, the lords of the three kingdoms chose to surrender one after another, even though they knew that Ai'er would impose on them the same set of measures that he was implementing in Brio.

After all, Brio's "peers" have already warned everyone what the consequences of resistance will be at the cost of losing everything.

The only two things they can hope for now are, first, that El and the others will have less trouble and just be a little better than the mages who came to "play" in the past; second, they hope that El and the others will lose interest in this poor place of Serso soon and choose to return to the "civilized world" outside the mountains.

Ai'er's army did not stop after conquering the three countries that actively attacked him. His descendants led the army and continued to expand towards the surrounding forces after completing the goal of occupying the three countries.

The orcs were beaten - and then the orc tribes influenced by the wolf and fox girls persuaded them to surrender to the Normans; the greenskins were cleared out, massacred or driven to places outside of civilization; and the Kingdom of Caliban, where knight culture was popular in the north of Ionia, the two republics west of the Kirin Tor, and the scattered free cities on the land of Thurso also chose to surrender after the Norman army approached.

There is also an interesting episode in the middle:

The rulers of the Kingdom of Caliban, famous for its knightly prowess, are a group of noble warriors with outstanding martial arts skills, and the Knight King they elected. They believe that even when facing extraordinary beings, surrendering without a fight would be against their own honor, so they proposed to launch a challenge to the wizard's army on the border even though they knew they would "die."

Caesar, who had defeated Thurso and led his troops north to the gate of the Caliban Kingdom, admired these brave warriors and their noble virtues, so he personally came forward and defeated twelve great knights in succession, making the Caliban people convinced and choose to surrender.

The nations of Thurso are generally in a relatively balanced situation, with some strong and some weak. For example, Ionia has the largest population, while Caliban has the strongest military force, and Blaio has the highest prestige... Unless by chance, it is rare for a country to be annexed and divided.

Powerful countries

Chapter 159

To contain, for example, Brio and Moria are married to each other and wary of each other; weak countries will form groups, such as Mirler and Arseni.

After the three-nation coalition was defeated in Moraria, the remaining nations knew full well that they were powerless to resist the wizard's army. In addition, the "Kingdom of Blaeo" controlled by the wizards showed aggressiveness. No matter how the wizards planned to play games in the mortal world, they were definitely aiming to "unify Serso" first. Even before the legion officially arrived at the border, someone sent an envoy to express their willingness to surrender.

And Al naturally accepts everyone who comes.

He ordered the legions to move in and take control of the capitals and important places of the major kingdoms. He required the royal families of the various countries to go to Calvik to pay homage and listen to the teachings of the "Council of Sages", and began the official "rule of wizards" in the mountains of Thurso.

Two huge new palaces were being built simultaneously in the border mountains and in Kalvik. A large number of prisoners captured in the war worked tirelessly on these two projects. Al promised them that they could regain their status as free men after the construction was completed.

The "Council of Sages" that Ella used to hold the foreground also expanded to double digits after the battle of Moraria. Except for El, the other members all had names and were authentic descendants of the Floating City with "school records" and "academic qualifications".

Without exception, all of them were given a pair of arms and psychic powers that were not available in the world of El as gifts by the "Merciful Father", and are now the direct descendants of El.

These transformed mages, no matter how lazy and introverted they were in the past, have all become loyal descendants who devote themselves to serving the great cause of the tribe after receiving the gift of four arms. They will pass on all the knowledge they have mastered to the tribe, allowing Ai'er to continuously deepen his grasp of the world of Ai'er. Now they can be called "learned masters" among low-level mages.

Then, at El's instruction, they will step forward and begin to practice his will, becoming El's agents, while El intentionally hides his existence behind the scenes. However, people who worship others will know that the name of the statue they worship is [Holy Master Father], while people who are not aware of the inside story will think that this is a harmless totem created by wizards.

Most of the people who have not yet fully integrated into the Four-Arms system will regard [Respected Father Ai'er] as a powerful and wise mage ruler, or as a fusion of multiple mages, and be grateful to him for bringing a better life.

.........

At the end of the first year after the [Reign of Mages] kicked off and the Order of Thurso was officially dominated.

Ayr, in a playful mood, held a large-scale cosplay event in Kalvik, "ascending the altar to offer sacrifices to the White Tower," announcing the official establishment of the country after the unification of Thurso. The country's name came from his past life, and in a sense, it was also a variant of "Norman" in the common language:

"senate!"

"Monotheism!"

"Legion!"

"Abundant martial virtue!"

"Big bath and silver party! (referring to El's daily life)"

"I am Roma today too!"

There is no king, and the republican system is adopted (quite realistically), with the Senate, Parliament and Legion Commander (El's descendants) as the nominal center of government, but in essence it is a one-man show controlled by one family and surname through El's bloodline.

123: The Convent of the Holy Virgin

Al packed up his harem and took it to Karlwik.

This mountain city is indeed nice. For his own selfish reasons, Al ordered the construction of a new city on the plain outside the mountain, intending to move most of the old city to the plain in the future, while the remaining Kalvik would serve as his mountain palace.

The city would be filled with Eir's sons and harem, as well as a large number of Eir's zealots, such as the "Old Normans" and the devout mountaineers, who would come to serve him and his court.

The new king of Brio, who had no outstanding deeds except for killing his father, abdicated after Ai'er created the "Alien Rome". Now he has transformed himself and is still active in the conquest as a representative of the old nobility. He has long been transformed into a descendant of Ai'er and is a good banner, promoting the tolerance of the wizards to those who have not been completely brought into the embrace of the Four Arms.

In addition to the bloodbath of the Kirin Tor royal family who were ignorant of the times - the prince who insisted on avenging his father and almost buried his entire family with him, the new king was assassinated by a young man from a collateral family after his family was moved to the border. The latter hated him extremely and believed that it was he who brought such suffering to the clan.

If they had opened the city and surrendered smoothly like the royal families of Ionia and Moria, the wizards would not have done anything to them. Apart from handing over all their territories, the royal families and nobles of countries like Ionia, Moria, Caliban, etc., except those who resisted the Norman army, were allowed to retain their property.

At the same time, based on status and ability, one can also get the opportunity to serve in the new regime.

Anyway, Al is not afraid of these people being fickle. If they pretend to obey but actually disobey, he doesn't need to deal with it. The local descendants will notice something is wrong and immediately send a team of cavalry to arrest the entire clan.

When the master was at the peak of his career, no one was still foolish enough to "go against the trend" and seek a restoration.

After the rulers of the Mage Kingdom got tired of playing and left Thurso, it took a full three years before the old royal families and rulers in various places dared to show up and resume their rule over the country, because they were afraid that the mages would suddenly come back to sting and enforce the law.

After El unified Thurso, apart from the daily parties and human creation, he was also busy in other aspects.

More important

Chapter 160

For example, dividing administrative regions, establishing a governance system, reorganizing the army, developing commercial and agricultural production to promote productivity and social development, etc.

Less important ones include "Tiqi going out in all directions", searching various places, specifically looking for outstanding women from the countryside to the nobles, many of whom will receive an "admission notice" from Karlwik.

From Yurika Girls' College.

This is a college with a strong religious color, and it also has an institution that is basically inseparable.

"The Convent of the Holy Virgin".

A bad taste from Al...

Here, famous teachers and talented people from Serso provide high-quality educational resources, covering astronomy, geography, humanities and history. However, it is not a school where studying is compulsory. There are also a large amount of extracurricular content, physical training, etc., in order to ensure the "uniqueness" of students and cultivate their dual improvement in knowledge and physical fitness.

It is said that mages would select women with outstanding performance here as attendants - they could not be apprentices, but only "servants".

Many people speculated, yes, speculated about what interesting things those high-ranking "sages" would do to the girls in this school. If it was just pure sexual pleasure between men and women, then it would really be perfect!

The charm of a woman who could attract the attention of a wizard was undoubtedly recognized by the Floating City.

As long as they are not made too exaggerated such as having their bodies pierced, producing milk, being perverted, or having an orgasm through touching, or as long as they are not publicly abandoned by the mages, like after the dissolution of the aforementioned magic kingdom, some local women in Serso who had served those mages were dismissed and instead became popular among the nobles.

Of course, if you meet someone with a perverted personality who likes to play around...

It's better to die quietly.

I am afraid of the cruelty and humiliation of death, and the very heavy taste of the game, just like the monsters and demons that the court of Xerxes likes to create. I can't stand the emotional pain, but my face will not be humiliated. If your woman were like this, would you dare to oppose the wise master?

We are all human beings, so don't hurt each other.

But most people are still keen on sending young women in their family to "enroll". Of course, because the "Saints' Monastery" does not taboo this, they may even be valued and treated preferentially. For example, not long after a widow who lost her husband in the war was selected to "enroll", the young descendants of her family received conscription orders and were selected to be officials in a place or generals in the army.

Chapter 112: Helen Cuiye (9)

Therefore, they will also try to please the current people in power by using widowed women in the tribe—even by artificially creating "widows" or "divorced".

The last Mage Kingdom lasted less than ten years.

This time it seems that those nobles are really trying to satisfy the psychology of a "wise secular ruler", otherwise they would not have gone to so much trouble to completely unify Serso and start to implement various systems. Although they did hit the interests of the old ruling class, people of insight can see that this set of systems is indeed very helpful to the prosperity of a country.

Maybe after the wizards leave, what will be left behind will be a unified and powerful regional kingdom.

If you are lucky enough, a woman can get in on the magicians' footsteps, which will bring unimaginable benefits to the future of the entire family!

Until now, apart from those "believers" who fanatically worshipped Aiel, such as the old Normans, most of the old ruling class, such as Caliban and Ionia, who kowtowed to the wizard, actually had the same idea:

That is, I don't think Al and the others will stay here for long.

A mage is an extraordinary person, a person close to god.

In the end, they will definitely pursue the secrets... It is possible for one person to give up, but if more than a dozen mages give up together and end up in the novice area of ​​the poor magic land, the probability is not high no matter how you think about it.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if they really do that. After one or two generations, the descendants of the mages will most likely be mortals, and there will be no essential difference between them.

And if the mages did not stay here for a long time, even for twelve or thirteen years, it would be less than half a generation for them. After the mages left, they could slowly regain what they lost - and the current resistance was doomed to fail, so it was not surprising that they slid to their knees so smoothly and it was not surprising that Ai'er unified Thurso so cleanly and neatly.

So they quickly and "sincerely" accepted Ai'er's rule. Resistance was impossible anyway, so they might as well live a good life first, and those who were ambitious would strive to climb up. If the extraordinary people left in the future, they could leave some bones for the devoted mortal slaves before leaving, which would be enough for them to enjoy for generations.

Chapter 124: Chickens and Dogs Rise to Heaven

For Al, he doesn't care what these mortals think.

It was enough if they didn't oppose him now.

Of course, even if we oppose it, it is meaningless.

As time goes by, his power will grow stronger, and those who oppose him will become weaker and weaker, because their own will to resist is constantly being weakened.

As for those who are extremely hostile to Ai'er, he may not be able to transform them from enemies into loyal servants through psychic infection, but those who hold such a firm attitude will only feel increasingly lonely and difficult under his rule.

His tribe, his "nest" has a certain degree of exclusion.

Individuals who are unable to integrate into the nest will be isolated and excluded, which will cause them to suffer both physical and psychological torture.

Chapter 161

There is a small settlement in the borderland. On the surface, it obeys Ai'er, but secretly maintains its belief in the heretical god - the local totem.

They would hold regular private gatherings to show their loyalty to the old faith by desecrating patterns, symbols, and Norman products representing the "Four-Armed God", and cursing the wizards and their lackeys with vicious oaths, while offering blood to worship the original totem.

The settlement members are all blood relatives of the same family and have a high degree of cohesion, so their true nature has never been discovered.

Then after the Second Three Land War broke out, the people of this tribe suddenly became ill. The elderly and children all had various health problems, such as diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, etc. It was suspected that they were caused by food poisoning or plague. Gandalf intervened and discovered the truth behind it.

In the past, they superficially integrated into the society of converts, but this was always a disguise. Although not all of them were strong-willed and extremely hostile to the Four-Armed, they created negative influences in their hearts by holding regular blasphemous gatherings, reinforcing their hostile concepts towards the "Four-Armed" and "God El", and thus became immune to, or resisted, the spiritual infection of El.

However, psychological conditions such as depression, autism, and irritability are still common. This is because they have been disguising themselves for a long time and are in an environment where they will face extremely terrible punishment once discovered, which brings about psychological repression. At the same time, in places where "ethnic groups" are formed, there is a kind of rejection behavior towards those who have never recognized themselves.

Physiologically, it will start with those with weaker constitutions, causing them to suffer from acclimatization problems, and the situation may even gradually worsen. The double blow will gradually exclude individuals who are different from the ethnic group from the group.

This is a spontaneous "protection mechanism" of the Four-Armed People community.

Therefore, Al is not afraid at all that there are a lot of traitors in his team who appear to be more loyal than anyone else but are two-faced and treacherous in secret.

This defense mechanism will ensure that there will be no traitors under his rule. Anyone who has accepted El's rule for more than a certain period of time will be a "submissive citizen". Counterintelligence has been greatly strengthened, and the main target of investigating spies and spies is to focus on outsiders.

At the same time, it also greatly helped Ai'er's rapid expansion.

Because loyalty is guaranteed.

Then you can put your abilities aside for now.

In less than a year after attacking Kalvik and seizing the throne, Ai'er developed to the point of unifying Thurso. In terms of its expansion speed, it was even faster than when the Asta Empire rose from the ancient Aegean states.

During this process, Al promoted a large number of "old Normans" and "converts" to serve as officials. In Norman City, they might have been just ordinary farmers, but because of their honesty, they were considered "reliable". After a little investigation, they were arranged to a village in Ionia, Moria and other places as sheriffs, tribunes, or village chiefs.

This made the entire Norman feel the beauty of "one person's success brings prosperity to the whole family".

Those powerful and ambitious people who "temporarily surrender and wait for the future" may just be thinking about preserving themselves as much as possible in the present, while clinging to the big tree of the "Council of Sages" to try to get more nutrients when it rises from the ground and flies to other places, and strive for the "legacy" of the mages.

But the Normans really felt the blessing of Aiur at that moment - the Borderlands, Norman, Devon Gael, and Calvik, which left a "deep impression" on Aiur, were different from the newly conquered places such as Ionia Caliban.

They also "respect" other mages on the surface, but their main object of worship is still Ai'er.
