Warhammer

Page 78

So he copied the wisdom of the earth again.

Some things such as "tribal chess" and "fighting green skin" were "invented".

He taught it to the shamans, and asked the shamans to teach it to some clever beastmen, who then spread these entertainment methods to the refugees and took the initiative to entertain them.

So you can often see scenes like this in the camp:

A group of beastmen and humans gathered together, and on a small piece of land in the middle were simple chess pieces carved from wood, or leaf cards made of leaves of similar size and dyed with numbers.

As for football, Al took the initiative to use food to recruit some strong men and mixed them with beastmen to form a team for training and competition. All the consumption came from the tribe, so it was like a free performance.

In times of crisis, people always need various ways to fill the emptiness in their hearts and boost their spirits.

Al also had the shamans hold grand ceremonies before and after each match, as a way of opening and closing the ceremonies, to increase the influence of the new four gods in the minds of the audience, making it easier to pull the sheep while trying not to create a sense of rejection.

The opening ceremony has just ended and the competitive football match has just begun.

Both teams were a combination of six Estalia men and six male beastmen.

Everyone has at least half a month of training experience. Although it is certainly simpler than on Earth in every aspect, it is enough for the refugees and tribal beastmen who are experiencing this form of entertainment for the first time.

The playing field is neither too big nor too small, it is an open space that has been cleaned in advance and has no obvious bumps.

The surrounding area was simply surrounded by a fence to separate it from the spectators, and outside the simple fence, every empty seat was packed with tribesmen and refugees who came to watch the game.

There are probably between one and two thousand people.

After all, in tribal life, unless you have a lot of energy to support all kinds of jumping around, most of the time is quite boring, gathering, hunting, gathering, and hunting.

Especially recently, there seems to be some minor problems with food supply.

Regardless of gender, the workload of all refugees with labor force must be adjusted. In some "pilot areas" specially selected by Ai'er, tribal forces do not directly intervene in the distribution of supplies, but "return" them to the bureaucrats and upper classes of some kingdoms.

At present, they seem to be working diligently. There are some cases of embezzlement, but they are still relatively rare. At least there are no obvious bad behaviors at present.

There are no complaints among the refugees. After all, the food may not be enough, and life is getting harder. Although it has not been announced publicly, it can be judged from various signs.

Al continued to observe for the time being. He selected people by specifically looking for those who were blessed by his loving mother. He could also be seen as a "worm", "worm", and "a waste of food in the world".

He was completely at ease handing over power to this group of people.

They will definitely do bad things!

But that would be a good thing for Al.

Only by destroying the refugees' trust and dependence on the old system and making them lose their sense of security and followers can they better devote themselves to the banner of Al.

Even if he miscalculates, and these "bad guys" don't stir up public anger as he thought, that's not a big problem...

Al will give them a push!

"The ball is in! The ball is in!"

"The Crimson Storm scored the first goal! They got a point! Goddess! The Crimson Storm got the first point of the game! I wonder if this victory can accompany them to the end?"

The deep tenor voice shouted excitedly. Although this form sounds a bit strange, it has to be said that it can really stir people's emotions.

Al specially found a few people with decent voices, prepared scripts for them, and asked them to be responsible for the commentary after practicing repeatedly. The reward was a portion of their food.

At present, this thing is the most precious, and the monetary system has regressed to barter. After all, the tribesmen have no place to use money.

The output of the Pina Forest is mainly timber, open-pit minerals, herbs, and a rich variety of wild beasts and monsters - which are dangerous to humans, but food and reserves for the legion to Al.

Occasionally, some amber and the like can be collected. With the Mother's believers and goblin laborers, woodland cultivation is being developed, such as mushrooms, fast-growing fruits and crops, but with the current scale, it is obviously a fantasy to supply such a large population.

"Go! Crimson Storm! Defeat them!"

"Try harder! Hearts of Steel—you can do it!"

The spectators also shouted and supported their favorite team.

The team name was chosen by Al, and the earliest people who created the atmosphere were also specially found by Al. The purpose was to create an atmosphere that would allow people to adapt and immerse themselves more quickly, and begin to expand its boundaries on their own.

So far the results seem pretty good.

The prize that Al prepared this time was a close relative of the fang beast, which should be a degenerate species, a creature similar to a wild boar.

It weighed at least 400 pounds and was caught in a trap.

After the twelve members of the winning team are divided, they can all go home and have a good meal for a few days.

There is also a small box of coins, all of which are from the Empire's Gold Shield. Although they are of little use in the forest now, they will definitely be useful in the future.

The loser will also receive some prey as a consolation prize.

And Al also gave those who stood out a choice:

Join his legion.

It's not like the current Estalia auxiliary army. Because the officers were corrupted by El, they have basically become completely subordinate to the Beastmen. However, if they go to war with the Estalia Kingdom now, except for those who have converted, most people will probably become restless and disperse without being attacked or find an opportunity to turn against their own side.

Ai'er intends to form a mortal guard directly under his command.

Of course, we don't expect them to be very good at fighting, but we must give those who are willing to work hard a chance for promotion.

The current basic framework was built with the help of fanatics obtained from the High Sister. However, the Blood Mother faith they follow is different from the current mainstream of the tribe. The spiritual leader is currently the High Sister. She respects and is willing to obey Ai'er, but has not fully accepted the concept of "Eternal Chosen".

They only worship the Blood Mother and only know the Blood Mother.

In the future, El will definitely try to surround himself with people from the four factions, in order to maintain a balance and be impartial, especially for a naturally pan-believing race like humans after the Great War.

But at present, it seems that the Blood Mother, who symbolizes revenge, fighting, anger, bravery and glory, is obviously the fastest spreading among these refugees who have lost their homes and loved ones and are eager for revenge but have no power. The second is the Loving Mother, followed by Joy, and only the All-Knowing Mother has the least popularity (bushi).

But it doesn’t matter, that’s the situation.

After the country is established and the people live and work in peace and contentment, the faith in Happy Lady will surely rise rapidly. As for All-Knowing Mother, she is mainly taking the elite route. Al is considering opening a special school in the future to train elite bureaucrats and intellectuals.

Most of these people will eventually develop into omniscient beliefs.

Or the four gods are indistinguishable.

Al's thoughts drifted to the events after the founding of the country, when he suddenly heard a message from a werewolf:

A group of knights entered the forest, claiming that they had met Al before and came to ask to see him.

Al immediately patted Niu Niu's thigh and jumped off the eldest daughter's legs.

"Bring it here quickly!"

"By the way, ask them why they are here!"

To put it bluntly.

Al wanted those knights to join him.

It is best to worship right then and there, as there is no two suns in the sky, and from then on there is only one sun chosen by the Eternal God and four moons in your heart.

Of course, this is obviously a pipe dream.

Chapter 113: Chapter 113, The Knight Comes to Surrender

This time, Al met an acquaintance whom he had met once.

The knight leader with two red stripes engraved on his black armor.

And several followers, each of them is fully armed with canned heavy armor in black, white and gray, which looks simple, efficient and majestic.

His taciturn attitude and vigorous and decisive behavior reveal his superb combat power. If he were to wear a set of technological equipment, he would be very similar to an extraordinary warrior from a 40,000-year-old universe.

Al liked the temperament they displayed and was eager to accept these warriors into his own ranks.

The Red-Striped Knight continued to move with great vigor. Led by the guards, he walked to the place where El was going to meet them. He then took off his sword, knelt on one knee, held it in his hand, and presented the weapon to El.

"?"

The scene seems familiar.

The boy was in a trance for a moment, remembering the hallucination he had seen when the Green Knight took him away.

"Why do you perform such a great ceremony?"

Al did not avoid them, but stood calmly among the guards and asked in a serious voice.

The Red-Striped Knight did not stand up, and the followers behind him also knelt on one knee, placed their right arms across their right knees, and lowered their heads.

This gesture of loyalty gave El a sense of satisfaction. The leader of the knights, the red-striped knight, spoke a dull male voice from behind his mask:

"We went here before to fulfill our vows, and then the goddess guided us here to perfect virtue."

He held up the sword in his hand, lowered his head, and his loyalty was revealed in his silent majesty.

It seemed as if the bloodline inheritance from another distant world, Zhendan, which was mixed with unknown amounts of power and blessings, was about to awaken in El's body.

He immediately stepped forward and helped the Red-Lined Knight up.

"Now that we have the general, it is like adding wings to a tiger!"

"What a brave man! Give him the pig shoulder!"

The horse girl looked at him coldly, hooked her fingertips through the gap in the armor and pulled it back, then he coughed and realized something was wrong.

"I am not sure what you mean by 'practicing the oath' and 'perfecting virtue'."

"If you plan to join the Horde and fight the greenskins and other threats to the mortal world together, I will welcome all friends who come sincerely."

Although there was an unexpected incident that time, Lilith sent out a man who was suspected to be (or was actually) her loyal lackey, Barto's number one bootlicker, who was super good at fighting, but he might have killed more Barto knights on the road to the Holy Grail than monsters (just a joke):

Gilles, founder of Bretonnia.

Green Knight.

After kidnapping Al, just like the human traffickers who kidnapped little boys, the mocking words of Joyful Lady, "You have gained another mother," and the message from the All-Knowing Mother simply and clearly told Al one thing:

The green tea goddess whose position is difficult to define, whether it is destruction or salvation, chaos or order, the lady with many vests and titles such as lake fairy, mist goddess, Radlily, moonlight girl... Lilith, plans to buy some stocks of El.

The brand is a sign that Al has obtained the blessing of Lilith.

But perhaps it was because a certain daring boy was so angry that he could not control his emotions. He drew his sword and pointed it at the sky, angrily scolding Lilith, who originally wanted to perform an epic drama with the son he was about to recognize, to have a scene of "The world is about to be destroyed, the goddess will teach me!" "I will worship the goddess as my stepmother!"

"A witch who practices spells and prophecies"

This made a certain goddess, who was the most famous figure in the Middle Ages, very embarrassed. Although the brand was left on El's body, she temporarily ignored the boy because of his disrespect. It was unknown whether she was silently spying on him, secretly stirring up trouble, planning to jump out when something big happened and establish her majesty as a goddess and mother in front of El.

After all, even the Council of Eight Winds of Athel Loren.

Even after her true identity was exposed and she was questioned by a group of honest people who had been deceived, lied to, and used for thousands of years, and who would continue to use their souls after death, Lilith had never been humiliated.

"A witch who practices spells and prophecies"

Al may not have realized it, but these words did make Lilith very unhappy, in other words, it broke her defense.

As for his four mother goddesses who were AFK and peeping at the screen, secretly planning something unknown, they were obviously very unhappy with Lilith's behavior of forcing herself into the company halfway when she saw a potential stock. They were also happy to see some conflict between Al and Lilith in the end, so they would not explain the reason to Al.

Besides, Al has always regarded things like "your mother is Lilith" as a tragedy. When he first suspected that the Blood Mother or one of the Four Gods had a Lilith vest, the boy felt like the sky was about to fall down.

After that incident, Al had not paid attention to this matter. When it came to matters involving gods, he felt that he was too weak, and if the sky fell, he would have the four mothers to support his head, so he did not take it too seriously. He had received enough blessings, and he did not need this one for the time being, so he had never cared about it.

It was not until this group of strong knights, who had made a deep impression on Al, suddenly reappeared that he began to recall the sudden and unexpected experience.

What a coincidence! Right after being branded by Lilith, he met a group of knights who were obviously from Barto. Al absolutely did not believe that there was no connection between the two.

Here they come, the knights again.

The Red-Lined Knight's voice sounds like a talking stone, making people feel unexpectedly trustworthy. Even the enemy would not feel like they would hear lies from this person's mouth.

"We were previously in seclusion in the north of Carcassonne."

"The king of the Estalia was assassinated, and the symbol of our order was left at the scene. The Round Table Council also summoned us, but we did not want to get involved in this matter, so we ignored it."

Al nodded, then suddenly froze.

Their marks were left at the scene...

"Flowers, flowers, swords, and the Holy Grail?!"

An Estalia officer, he was a devout believer of the Blood Mother who converted very early and performed outstandingly. He believed that the Goddess of War was cowardly and hypocritical, and that the Blood Mother was the Lord of Armies, the god of strength and glory.

He cried out at this moment. That silent assassination but the consequences were earth-shattering. No Estalia could ignore it because it was the beginning of all these disasters.

Quarrels, divisions, the specter of civil war; attacks, green tides, successive failures...

Although the exhausted Estalia people no longer have the energy to dwell on who was responsible for the assassination, and it seems that there is no need to dwell on it anymore, the assassination of the City Prince still casts a shadow on the hearts of many people.

The Red-Striped Knight did not answer, whether out of pride or simple indifference, it was unclear.

"The lady has given us a revelation before: if the green tide cannot be stopped, the fall of the Southern Kingdom will also shake the peace of Carcassonne. At the same time, if this unsolved case cannot be settled, it will become a stain on us anyway, which is harmful to the future of order."
