Forget it.
The wolf girl is now a frequent visitor to the arena. Her three daily routines are eating, fighting, and returning to the El Palace to find a nest and sleep.
Because El indulges in high-intensity sexual activities during the day and revels every night, in order to prevent the child from being a bad example, he specially assigned several servants to take care of Hera and keep her away from the scenes of El and the harem having sex. Although Hera is naive, she is sensible and will not pester him. When El is resting after sex, he will clean himself up and go to find the wolf girl, then sleep for a while while hugging the furry big dog.
So Misha had to handle the work on her own, and by the time she finished everything, a week had passed since the celebration.
What follows is the story of the filial daughter who bravely breaks into the devil's den and rescues her young father, who is addicted to alcohol and sex.
"Father, you still have a lot to deal with. You can't rest now."
Evil! Demon! Whisper!
Al looked at his eldest daughter's face which always had a half-smile on it. He had been indulging himself in lust for a few days and wanted to lie back down, hold his wife's plump buttocks and shoot two more shots hard, filling Malena's body with the white gun liquid until it flowed out, but his father's face and sense of responsibility still made him... muster up the courage.
"I, I can lie down for... another day?" Al asked tentatively.
Misha smiled.
smile.
Keep smiling.
Al: “…”
Let me go!
Ai'er is a good father who aspires to be a good emperor. At the same time, this feeling is also for the sake of just in case, I mean just in case, just in case a gorgeous betrayal is launched against Ai'er one day. It allows the cubs to think about it and recall the past when they grew up happily with their little father.
So after working hard for nearly a week, Al adjusted his state, crawled out of the land of comfort, and was dragged by his eldest daughter to deal with the affairs of the past period of time.
As the Pina Forest became a magical forest and the resurrection power represented by the Shepherd of All Things focused on this place, the resource output in the forest reached an extremely exaggerated level, to the point of being abundant like granaries everywhere.
Some people even suggested abolishing warehouses for storing food because it was too convenient to obtain food. It would be better to let people move more. Al actually considered this idea, but rejected it after thinking about it.
The mushroom fields that were previously opened up in the forest can be harvested at a rate of almost one crop a day. It doesn’t matter if you can’t pick them all. They will rot, be digested, and turn into nutrients and return to the forest very quickly. The same goes for everything else.
Not long after the tribe emerged from the shadow of famine, it was able to support El's army to march south and supply food to the outside world. From El to Bermoz, they had their own logistics, and when they were halfway through the eastern expedition, they were still receiving supplies transported from the forest.
Not to mention the Northern Expedition, with the Pina Forest, Ai'er hardly considered logistics issues. Wherever the greenskins arrived at a place, they would ask the Latins for food, and Ai'er would have to distribute the troops' rations as relief.
The abundance of supplies can save a lot of manpower in the tribe, eliminating the necessary production work of obtaining food and investing it in other construction.
For example, expanding gathering places.
For example, creating humans.
Because Ai'er had always encouraged production, pregnant women and children had never been short of food even during periods of food shortage (the food crisis at the time was controllable), and with the subsequent explosion of resources obtained from the forest, at Ai'er's call the Beastmen population added tens of thousands of children in just a few years. Except for larger creatures such as horned beasts, minotaurs, centaurs and werewolves, which generally give birth to one child per litter, or two or three at most, smaller races such as rabbitmen and sheepmen have stronger fertility, and some can even give birth to three children in two years, with several boys in each litter.
But the growth rate of the Beastmen is definitely not as exaggerated as that of pure beasts, otherwise the Beastmen would have occupied the entire New World just by rapidly producing soldiers in one year.
Calves and wolf cubs grow more slowly, taking six to seven years to fully mature. If there is a bonus of faith in the process, for example, a wolf cub is particularly good at fighting, or is more ruthless than anyone else in offering blood sacrifices to its blood mother, then their growth will be advanced.
It also takes two or three years for Sheep Boy and Rabbit Boy to reach adulthood.
But these are not big problems. When chaos returns in the future, the four mothers or four gods will bless and speed up, and the fifty-dollar good brothers will come.
Although the lifespan of Beastmen is generally shorter than that of Humans, and only about half as long, not counting the bonus of metaphysics, Al estimates that the population of the Beastmen in the tribe can reach more than 400,000 in about ten years. As long as the forest can afford it, the speed will only continue to grow.
The humans in the Pina Forest were also affected, but they could not match the enthusiasm and talent of the beastmen in terms of reproduction, and their growth rate was less than one-third of that of the beastmen.
The goblins were a servant race conquered by the tribe a long time ago. Because of their low intelligence, they have always been engaged in servants, laborers, dangerous cannon fodder and other jobs. After prosperity came to Pina, their population has been expanding rapidly. Although El has never counted these green-skinned little creatures in the population, they are generally engaged in dirty work such as collecting waste, cleaning, and taking care of wild beasts. Now there are tens of thousands of them.
In fact, Ai'er did not plan to stay in Pina permanently. This place was very good, but it was not suitable as the central capital. Margarita and Tyrell's Miragliano were the two most suitable places for the Southern Kingdom in his mind. In the future, either he would be in Margarita and Misha would go to Miragliano, or vice versa, or some other heirs would be in charge of guarding it.
In fact, apart from the core "hometown" that cannot be lost, his plan for Pina should be the most suitable one:
"Conscription World".
Ai'er opened a large number of training grounds and religious lands. The tribe's heritage originally only had two important things: "martial arts" and "tradition", but he added a lot of "faith" factors to the latter.
The sons of the tribe receive training and instruction from an early age to ensure that they become qualified believers of the Four Mothers and eternal followers of God.
Then, depending on the situation, you can leave the forest and join the legion of the Son of God, or join the legion of one of his descendants, and fight on the battlefield for the Four Mothers and the Eternal Chosen.
Those with clerical talents can serve as bureaucrats in Aiur's increasingly large national machine, managing worldly affairs for the chosen ones in order to gain worldly glory and spiritual rewards.
During their growth process, the high-intensity training will cause these new generations to have certain disabilities, but Ai'er does not want to use them as complete war machines. Training and teaching are their learning and work. When they become adults, Ai'er's legion will open its doors and show them the broad road to glory, but at the same time they can stay and stay with their families, enjoy the inexhaustible rich resources, marry and have children, and cultivate the next generation of newborns for the tribe.
But if they take their enjoyment for granted, and begin to refuse to serve and avoid the battlefield, then Aiel will cruelly teach these people, who were dragged from "barbaric semi-civilization" to the present and have a place for the tribe on the boiling battlefield of the mortal world, what faith is.
Pina's prosperity is a gift and a blessing.
But if not handled properly, it may become a poison wrapped in a sweet coat, corrupting and degrading. When the real nightmare army of iron and blood breaks out from the doomsday they create, even the legacy left by the ancient saints, the magnificent Ossuun, the prosperous Athel Loren, will be nothing more than ruins left after the flames burn out.
Chapter 143: Missionary Work [New book will be published tomorrow~]
Al had a week-long party and was dragged by Misha to start working again.
After all, he doesn't just have to deal with matters in the Pina Forest. There are also many tasks outside the forest that need to be resolved by the center.
If he leaves it alone, either he will get tired or his subordinates will handle it themselves. However, the sons of the legion leaders have not yet taken their subordinates to guard their places, and local administration still relies heavily on the "representatives of the people" selected from the old system.
Allowing these people to act on their own and taste the sweetness of power in the past will easily lead to the slipping of power and the growth of local autonomy. This will not be a special form in which the Legions of Descendants are completely under the control of Aiel and can be autonomous or centralized when necessary.
So Al was also remotely controlling the situation outside in the forest. After all, there were still many coalition troops stationed in the south, and some of his descendants were managing the overall situation on his behalf.
According to feedback from the Ministry of the Interior, after the Aiel army marched north and passed Permoz, some people in the city of Margarita began to get restless. They were not about to immediately raise the banner of rebellion and stage a coup to seize power, but there were signs of this happening.
Fortunately, Aiur's Northern Expedition was unstoppable and achieved clean and efficient results. It was an "epic victory" both in reality and in propaganda, with minor losses on their side and the greenskin army wiped out.
The legion under Aiel did not go as some people expected: fighting to the death with the greenskins, both sides suffered heavy losses, and then the greenskin barbarians rolled out of the southern world, and the tribal barbarians obediently curled up in the forest.
On the contrary, there was not much damage.
Such power naturally made those who were opposed to the tribes and to a beastman king with strong alien origins serving as regent of the kingdom restrain themselves and dared not to cause chaos openly.
Besides, Al's departure did not mean his demise.
The Ministry of the Interior, supported by the garrison, is still playing the role established by El well, which can be summed up in eight words: "serving the kingdom and the people."
The anti-counterrevolutionary campaign is also for the benefit of the people!
After Al left, at his instruction, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' anti-counterrevolutionary and anti-espionage operations were intentionally "expanded", and some groups or individuals who had been difficult for Al to liquidate in the past for some reasons, such as their far-reaching influence, huge roots, or being too smooth to be liquidated, were also involved in the anti-counterrevolutionary movement.
Many of them have blood debts and public outrage on their shoulders. They were the guys who were on the list that the National Salvation Association had previously submitted to Al.
Al's idea is very simple: Don't you think that my anti-counterrevolutionary campaign has caused a great disturbance in the city, with brutal means and widespread killing?
Now let me show you what real anti-counterrevolutionary measures are!
Just lack of pictures!
Because everyone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a believer in the Mother of Mercy, they now believe in the "dualism of black and white, good and evil", which is somewhat similar to the knights' world of virtue. They believe that the world belongs to the benevolent and forgiving Mother Earth, and that the Great Compassionate One's original intention is that all living things should love each other and create a beautiful world together, but there is always the "evil of this world" and the corrupt filth that is at work, preventing the Pure Land from coming to the earth.
And Al is the son of the loving mother, the only savior Messiah appointed by the emperor, who will lead the mortal people to establish the kingdom of heaven on earth...
Their mission is to defend the Savior's country under the command of Aiel, use sword as shield, eradicate the evil of this world, and protect people's lives.
As cold as the harsh winter of Kislev to enemies, and as warm as the spring breeze to friends.
Al loosened the constraints on them and secretly granted them convenient privileges. Now that they are just in the initial stage of establishment, full of vigor and vitality, and everything is on the rise, the blue hats will naturally not let go of those "dirty" people who have been marked for a long time and have been allowed to survive for various reasons.
As the faith mentor of the Estalia people, the Southern Eagle, the Grand Master, although his legitimacy is very high due to the problem of his accession to the throne, after the city prince was not elected and the regent led the troops to the north, he was also the nominal leader with the highest secular status. He was also a servant of Ai'er and a secret follower of the Hexagram.
Under his influence, undercurrents were also surging within the church. Gregory the Eagle of the South first started an uprising through his followers in the west. In some church temples that had been secretly eroded by the Faith of the Four Mothers, he publicly displayed the Hexagram and the Seal of the Anti-Khorne, saying that "the churches and beliefs of the Estalia people are not limited to the sacredness in our tradition. We will also pay infinite respect to the Supreme Being who saved our bodies and souls."
Openly introduce the tribe's Four Mothers faith to the Estalia people, in the name of the supreme leader of the orthodox faith.
The previous belief in Four Mothers and One Son (El) was also spread throughout Estalia, but mostly among the common people. The middle and upper classes were all tacitly aware of it, and everyone worshipped in private. Having such an identity made life easier when the tribe was in power.
But Nan Ying personally stepped in to break the uniqueness of the Myrmidia faith in the Southern Kingdom for thousands of years and stuffed the shrine of the goddess of war with a new resident. It was like a bolt from the blue, hitting not only the religious community but also the hearts of countless believers.
But after a brief wave of quarrels, the number of believers devoted to the Four Mothers skyrocketed at a rapid rate, and the shrines and altars of the Four Mothers, which were modeled after the tribes, spread across cities and the countryside at a rapid pace.
The general process of missionaries from tribes is as follows:
A group of Four Mothers believers formed a traveling missionary team and came to a place to see what kind of help the locals needed. They would then try to find ways to solve their problems while preaching to the people. They would participate in the people's labor, use herbs and spells to treat people or animals, tell stories to the people, and give them scriptures.
It was the "Book of Truths" that El himself shook his head after reading. The first edition was destroyed by El's order because it was too chaotic and "blasphemous". All the wisercorns who wrote the book were taken away for re-education. Later, his second son Kael'thas was responsible for re-compiling it. The new version finally approved by Misha and El was released.
On the whole, it is a "creation" "with the beastmen as the main perspective, supplemented by the wise or crazy thoughts of the wise-horned beastmen who comprehend the truth or falsehood about the past, present and future" - Al is embarrassed to say that this is a history book, because ninety out of a hundred words are stories.
Created as "bedtime reading".
But since it was originally intended to be used as an enlightenment reading material, it’s not a problem.
Because Al is a real living person, try not to exalt his image in the book too much. It is easy to create a gap if he is described as "high" but "within reach" in reality.
Therefore, the image of Al in "The Book of Truth" is that of a knowledgeable wise man, a benevolent and just king, an invincible commander, a charming and beautiful boy, and the only child of four goddesses representing courage, love, joy, and knowledge respectively.
The combination of the above is a living Messiah, a savior and secular king who walks out of the story into the mortal world to establish the "Kingdom of Heaven on Earth", lead the world to defeat the end of the world, and complete the ultimate salvation.
Unexpectedly popular.
Anyway, there are a lot of people reading the book, and it seems that many people are convinced by him.
El could vaguely sense that the worship of the hexagram was growing among the Estalia people, although he was not yet able to utilize this power.
This way of preaching would cause a life-and-death conflict of faith in any other decent, even informal, religious territory. But now the War Church has been half-crippled by the greenskins, and its remaining strength has been forced to be used without any place to go after the supreme commander defected to the enemy.
Chapter 144: Saraiya
In this situation, the Church of War is equivalent to a person who is already seriously injured and has his hands and feet tied. He can only be a victim who is tied up and watch the unscrupulous yellow-haired minotaurs, the embodiment of the Four Mothers' faith, rape the goddess's believers and take away Myrmidia's lamb.
On the other hand, Southern Eagle was also secretly supporting the anti-counterrevolutionary actions of the blue hats of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, wreaking havoc on the vested interests of the old order in the South, causing many people who were originally dissatisfied with Al to miss the time when "His Royal Highness the Regent was still there."
At least at that time, because of Ai'er's restrictions, the Blue Hats would not act so radically. Even many people who had "defected" to Ai'er and regarded themselves as regents were also visited by the Blue Hats.
Because some people who were very fawning but also had too many stains on their backs had come to him, Al had previously accepted them temporarily and had not carried out a large-scale cleansing.
This action had directly led to a split within the Salvation Society. Some radical patriots believed that Al was not sincere in helping Estalia, and chose to join forces with the royalists led by Harrington, hoping to restore the traditional old order of the past.
Others believe that regardless of the fact that El has fought in many battles and saved the Kingdom of Estalia, he currently commands a large army and calls himself the protector of the "Southern World". He has not shown any characteristics that would make people uncomfortable or annoyed, but is instead a very wise and powerful ruler.
Apart from the fact that the anti-counterrevolutionary movement killed too many members of the aristocracy, there were no obvious shortcomings.
The people support him, the Southern Eagle supports him, and the original purpose of the National Salvation Association is to defend the country in times of crisis. Now that the people who can truly defend it have come, what reason is there to start an internal fight over some empty slogans such as "orthodoxy" and "royal power"?
What's more, the tribal coalition that was able to defeat the greenskins was obviously not something that those people from the National Salvation Association could resist.
Therefore, scholars, merchants, captains and other elders silently stood on the side of the coalition and belonged to the "regency faction". They might not particularly support Ai'er's rule, but they would not oppose it. They just treated everything as normal, which was actually a kind of support.
The influence of the tribe is rapidly expanding among the Estalia people, and the Blue Hats have made great contributions. In the past, the vast majority of the people supported the regency of El, and the powerful and traditional forces who were hit were dissatisfied with the tribe's interference in the kingdom. As the restrictions of the Blue Hats were lifted, they frantically bit the flesh and blood of "the evil of this world" and "the filthy ones", and even the war broke out. Many "old stories" involving abuse of power for personal gain and oppression of the people in the kingdom before were turned up by these "Wrath of Mercy" doctrine executors with a keen sense of smell.
To some extent, they even played the role of missionaries. The villagers and simple citizens were generally very curious about the kind mother worshipped by the blue hats, who was somewhat similar to the goddess of mercy and healing, Saraiya, whose belief was widely spread in the old world. She was "loving and tolerant of everything, and healing all beings."
The followers of the Goddess of War no longer know how to fight, not to mention the priests of Shalaya whose church organization is not as good as the former.
The victory of the war and the subsequent disappearance of the gods brought more than a hundred years of "good times" to the major churches. There was no threat of chaos, no gods hanging over their heads to monitor the world, and they were no longer at the critical juncture of life and death at all times.
Then, firm will, unshakable faith, and defense of sacred doctrine...will also become rare and precious.
The Church of Saleya has little influence in the southern world, but it still has a certain influence in the New World because the colonies often encounter various diseases and plagues due to environmental and sanitary factors.
Apart from small-scale free clinics during major festivals and holy celebrations, the priests of Saleya now generally provide "charged services".
Because war priests were not good at healing, many wealthy and noble families would specifically support a priest of the healing goddess or his disciple in exchange for medical care for themselves and their families when they were sick.
However, these priests lived a wealthy life, and in the comfort they gradually lost their original intentions when they joined the church. Or, in the beginning, many people who entered the Church of Shalaya came for the generous treatment of "Goddess Priests".
When their disciples are not enough to become apprentices, they will work in the church for a long time, providing treatment services to people who come to them for payment, and also practicing at the same time. When their abilities are improved enough and most problems can be solved through medicine, and they are recognized and recommended by their priest mentors, they can become such a "supporting priest."
Or he could board a ship and go to a colony that needed a doctor to open a "Salayya Temple", which was actually a clinic.
It has become a transactional church of “collecting money – providing services”.
The Mother Sect will provide treatment for free, organize mutual aid church activities on a regular basis, distribute food, and provide relief to the elderly and children. It can be said that the shamans have a dimensionality reduction attack. Wherever the shamans go, the local Saleya priests are almost instantly killed. They either hold on or find ways to move to another place to continue their "missionary" career.
Moreover, Al knew very well that defeating the enemy, in addition to improving himself, could also weaken the enemy, make them stink and mess up, and lower the enemy's level.
So, under his instruction, the blue hats who had a keen sense of "dirt" and were omnipresent among the people quickly marked out a group of immoral priests from the Church of Saleya and Mirmidia. Some of those with bad behavior were taken off the altar and brought to public trial; some priests who could not be said to be bad but had poor moral character were secretly interviewed and confessed voluntarily. They packed up their belongings and went to Margarita with the wealth, magic tools and followers within the permitted scale.
There, Al will prepare ships for these sensible losers and send them to the New World.
There are also some people who are controlled by the tribe. Just like the logistics officer among the refugees who were controlled by El, they will become more and more evil and do all kinds of immoral things under the banner of Saleya and Mirmidia to destroy the image of the church in the hearts of the people. Then the people who can no longer tolerate it will find conclusive evidence that the blue hat is guilty of a heinous crime, and they will use his head cleanly and neatly, and everyone will be happy.
The Four Mothers faith covers all aspects, and with its efficiency, integrity, and most importantly, the gods' active online advantages, it quickly permeates Estalia society from top to bottom.
After all, Chaos has unique advantages in winning over (bewitching) people's hearts and minds and attracting (corrupting) the people. Even though the Four Mothers themselves were split from the four orthodox gods and their "corruption" power is not as strong as the original Chaos, they are still not something that mortal gods can compete with in "missionary work".
Al's continuous suppression of the traditional vested interest groups has greatly weakened the people and forces who are most likely to rise up against him due to loss of interests, traditional concepts, sense of honor and other reasons. At the same time, he has continuously infiltrated through faith and secular aspects to lead the people to his side.
In this way, even if a rebellion occurs, the old powerful people can only use their own private soldiers to launch an armed rebellion, or kidnap or incite some people for profit.
