Chapter 892 Your God is not here today

Since passing Taimar, the speed of the chariot corps has also dropped sharply, because their road is blocked by a large number of war refugees.

A large part of them came from Taimar City. Those who were slightly informed thought that the Tukans' military strength was too terrifying, and the cruelty of this group of nomads was fully demonstrated in the Twin Star Town. They stayed here and defended, which was just a stupid act of waiting to die.

Those who had a little ability would flee Taimar with their families and flee to Tevram along the Golden Road. Limited by their own cognition, they subconsciously believed that Tevram, as the capital of the Kingdom of Sesk, had higher walls and more defenders, which should be able to protect their safety.

Little did they know that they were now on the road that the Tukans had to pass through. I'm afraid that most of them couldn't outrun the Tukan army at all. It wouldn't be long before they would become the new slaves of those Tukans.

A large number of people and vehicles, distributed on the long road, caused serious delays to the chariot corps.

The most important thing is that they can't set up traps and minefields in large numbers, because before the Tukans get ahead, these war refugees will destroy most of the traps and cause a lot of accidental injuries.

Gavin had already prepared for this and sent a large number of propaganda personnel in advance to spread the news that the Tukan army was about to catch up to the war refugees along the way, so that they could deviate from the Golden Road as much as possible and escape into the wilderness of Cesk, where their chances of surviving death were much greater than now.

In order to eliminate their concerns, a corps of the Chariot Corps began to break up into small groups one after another and lead these war refugees into the wilderness.

Many war refugees are not unaware of the dangers of the Golden Road, but for many of them, the threat of the wilderness is equally great, and the monsters wandering there are only more brutal than the Tukans.

At least the Tukans will not think of their bodies unless they have to, but those monster tribes never lack victims like them in their pots.

The only thing that surprised Gavin and his team was that the Tukan army actually spent a lot of time and effort to surround the city of Taimar.

To be more precise, it was Yamen Khan who completed the siege alone.

The overwhelming blood mist directly enveloped the sky above Taimar City, and the terrifying and bloody atmosphere made it difficult for the citizens who did not escape the city to breathe.

Yamen Khan's terrifying and cold voice rang in the ears of every citizen of Taimar City, "I will give you ten minutes to think about it. You have two choices. One is to destroy all the statues in the city, abandon those gods who no longer protect you, murder one person in my name, and sacrifice your faith.

The other is that my soldiers rush into the city and turn you into corpses, and pledge allegiance to me in another way."

The Asen Lake sniper battle also had a huge impact on the Tukan army, that is, Yamen Khan absorbed a large amount of new killing power.

If it is said that he originally retained the thinking mode of 50% of people, at least in dealing with the Tukan people, he still maintained a high degree of rationality, and many decisions were very biased towards the Tukan people.

Now, he has less than 30% of his remaining human thinking. In his eyes, everyone is an ant, a tool to achieve his goal.

The biggest change brought about by this concept is that Yamen Khan no longer restrains the use of killing power as before.

His killing power is different from Gavin's road power. It is not generated by his own power, but obtained by swallowing the fragments of the godhead of the former Lord of Murder.

This certainly allows him to gain a lot of power in a short period of time, but it also leaves a huge hidden danger.

Part of the former God of Killing's consciousness is still dormant in the fragments of the godhead. He will use more and more killing power to nourish himself and subtly transform and influence Yamen Khan.

When his words and deeds begin to converge infinitely with Baal, is he Yamen Khan? Or Baal who is reborn in a shell?

I'm afraid he can't tell clearly.

He is not the only one in this situation.

The magic goddess of Faerun has changed twice, but some people still firmly believe that the magic goddess has never changed and is still the first Misriel. Whether it is the second Mistra or the third Midnight, they are just new identities that Misriel has changed for herself.

When a terrifying existence with the incarnation of divinity no longer cares about using its own power, the power is absolutely beyond imagination, which is fully demonstrated in the city of Taimar.

"Justice above, please listen to the prayers of your devout believers, please give us the power to fight against evil, we will firmly uphold your sacred and inviolable status, and will never succumb to the evil forces, they can kill us, but they can't make us succumb, let alone blaspheme our souls."

"Great Mother, please use your wisdom to guide us and show us the way forward, we will never abandon our faith."

"Lord of Shadows, I will praise your name in the dark night, I will transform into your shadow servant, kill the enemy, and never let their evil plot succeed."

"Ah... What are you doing? Are you crazy? I am the priest of the Just, you dare to assassinate the servant of the Just, you will be punished by God..."

"Their minds are lost, lost in killing and violence, they have become servants of evil gods."

"Haha... Where is your God? Why haven't they reacted at all until now? Hahaha... Give up your useless prayers and resistance, and convert to the arms of the Lord of Killing. Yamen is waiting for you, Yamen is embracing you, and no one can escape from Yamen's arms..."

"Yamen is waiting for you, Yamen is embracing you, and no one can escape from Yamen's arms... Enter Yamen's arms now! Haha... Your God is not here today, and you can't escape!"

Those who are devout in faith try to use their faith to fight against the temptation of killing from Yamen Khan.

But many ordinary people can't resist the desire for killing lurking in their hearts, especially those murderers and murderers hiding in the crowd. This impulse is aroused to an extreme. While shouting the name of Yamen Khan, they attack the people around them without hesitation, even if these people used to be their relatives and friends.

What makes those devout priests even more desperate is that the statues they pray to are shining brightly.

It was not the divine light of their gods responding to their prayers, but a dazzling blood-red light, emitting a strong smell of violence and blood, which was constantly impacting their minds, as if silently mocking them. Their gods were not here, at least not today.

There was only one true god here, and that was Yamen Khan, the lord of murder who enveloped this city.

If you want to survive, you must either offer your faith to him or become a victim of murder.

"No, no, no, I have faith. I am a priest of the Earth Mother. My soul belongs to the Earth Mother. I will be reborn in the Great Mother's garden and become a petitioner there. You have no right to dispose of my soul. You are blaspheming. You are stealing the soul that belongs to the Earth Mother. The Earth Mother will never condone your evil deeds... No..."

"Haha... I have already said that your god is not here today. Your soul can't go anywhere. You can only enter the arms of Yamen... Haha... Tremble, cry, despair..."

"No..."

What made these priests and priests despair and collapse the most was that the souls of the murdered companions did not go to the kingdom of the gods they believed in, nor did they go to the Fallen Shadow Underworld to wait for the gods to take them away. Instead, they were directly grabbed by a bloody and violent force and dragged into the blood cloud.

The reason why these priests are less afraid of death than ordinary people is that they firmly believe that after their death, their souls will return to their gods, and they will be reborn in the kingdom of God, becoming the petitioners there, and they can enjoy endless peace and wealth.

When they found that the means they relied on the most were ruthlessly torn apart by Yamen Khan, they burst out with despair and hysteria, far more than ordinary people.

Those priests of good gods such as Tyr, the god of justice, and Shangtia, the mother goddess of the earth, at most, are like those ordinary people who are in a hurry and arrogant, hiding themselves in the most secret places and watching everyone around them vigilantly.

Because they may be overwhelmed by the evil and violence in their hearts at any time, becoming the murder tool in the hands of Yamen Khan, and they themselves become the pitiful murder sacrifice.

But the believers of evil gods such as Mask, the Lord of Shadows, the Painful Girl Lovita, and the Plague Lady Talona soon responded to Yamen Khan's evil call one after another.

The former's mind was eroded by the power of shadows, and it was inclined to evil and bloodthirsty, and was more easily attracted by this emotion.

For the latter, the two ladies were the subordinate gods of Baal, the Lord of Murder, and Baal had just fallen for several years, and his influence still remained in the world. When Yamen Khan appeared with a killing power as if it were real, it was natural to take it as a sign of his re-emergence and respond to the call again.

This evil worship really reached a peak. A tall man with a terrifying aura appeared in the central square of Taimar City. He was wearing a dark purple sacrificial robe and a hooded turban on his head, which was embroidered with purple stripes. Both the hood and the lining of the clothes were dark black, forming a thick shadow. His face could not be seen from the outside, as if there was nothing.

But many people couldn't help but fall on his scarlet wide belt, which was pinned with an exquisite curved blade ritual dagger. The handle was engraved with a skull surrounded by blood drops. It was the holy emblem of Baal, the Lord of Murder.

The tall man said in a low and hoarse voice: "I am Umlant Surkid, the archbishop of the Lord of the Tower of Swift Death and the God of Murder. As the first archbishop, I announce to the world that my Lord has returned to this land. He has a new name, that is Yamen. You need to respect him as you respect Baal, and serve him as you serve Baal.

Only if you respect him and offer him faith and gold, will the Lord of Murder ignore you today and allow you to survive in this world.

The time has come. All those who have not offered their faith and piety to Yamen shall die."

With his heavy wave of his hand, countless agile figures jumped out of the darkness and started a crazy killing.

Compared to those citizens who were temporarily affected, they are professionals, because they are killers carefully trained by the bishop priests of the Lord of Murder Baal. They call themselves the Hand of Killing, and outsiders call them Death Dealers, because they sell murder and death, and they are very willing to murder their competitors or enemies for those who pay a high price.

No matter how much momentum Yamen Khan had originally created, he was stealing divine power as a mortal, and could only gather power bit by bit.

Now there is a powerful archbishop of the God of Murder who helps Yamen Khan to clear his name, officially linking him with the former Lord of Murder, Baal, and some people are forced to admit this identity.

Yamen Khan can take over Baal's legacy in the continent of Faerun in a legitimate way. In the dark, countless powers of faith began to be transferred to him one after another, making him better at controlling the power of killing.

Looking at Taimar from a distance, who seemed to be in hell, Gavin couldn't help but sigh and said, "Tamar is finished, Yamen Khan is completely crazy. From now on, this war is no longer a mortal war, but a war of gods.

From now on, the chariot corps will rush to Tevram at full speed to implement the second plan and withdraw the military supplies there to the city of Usmer as much as possible."

As a user of divine power, Gavin is very clear.

There is only one difference between not using divine power and using it countless times. Even if you know there are huge risks, you can't hold back, because the convenience brought by divine power is far beyond the reach of ordinary power.

He used the War Plunderer to plunder only about 100,000 souls. Even with the help of Ms. Strategy to balance and suppress, negative effects began to appear.

Not to mention that Yamen Khan absorbed and stole more than a million souls. The side effects are probably far greater than his own, and it is difficult to continue to suppress.

When Yamen Khan began to use the killing power desperately, the effect they could play would be minimal, because no one knew what crazy decision he would make next?

Not to mention that Tevram could not be defended, even if King Yasan led the Feren coalition to land, whether they could resist Yamen Khan's Tukan army was still an unknown!

After all, in the last life, until the end, Yamen Khan maintained the most basic rationality and did not let the killing godhead devour himself.

In this life, I am afraid it will be difficult to ensure this.

"If you want to destroy a person, you must first make him crazy. He may be rampant for a while, but he will never go too far, because he has angered the public. Even if the gods do not personally send down their divine incarnations, they will send their devout believers and even messengers to participate in the war." The earth spirit witch said gloatingly.

She knew the nature of the gods of Furen too well. If you touch their faith, you are touching their lifeblood.

In the secular war, the churches and monasteries of the gods are often shelters for those war refugees. As long as they escape into these sacred places, many soldiers will take the initiative to lay down their weapons and stop chasing, unless those churches and monasteries are hostile to the gods, or the two sides are fighting a war of faith in order to compete for the ownership of faith.

But they will only target the church of a certain god, and will not provoke other gods.

It is rare to provoke a group of people like Yamen Khan is now.

The degree of madness of Yamen Khan far exceeded Gavin and his friends' imagination. Taimar was just the beginning. After he announced to the world that the God of Murder had returned, it was like opening a new door. He controlled not only the power of killing, but also began to explore the realm of the undead.

Baal, Melkor and Bane were called the Three Gods of Death, which meant that they would bring various deaths to people, and they were also the masters of the realm of death, including the control of death.

All the prey that were murdered and sacrificed in Taimar were transformed into various undead creatures by him, forming their vanguard army and began to march towards Tevram.

And this was just the beginning. All the creatures along the way joined the ranks of this undead army, including the old, weak, sick and disabled slave army, which were gradually transformed into undead spirits.

The benefits of doing this are obvious. Those undead spirits will not betray, and the Tukan people do not need to divide their energy to supervise those slave soldiers.

At the same time, a large amount of food rations could be saved. The original supply of more than 380,000 people was reduced to 250,000 people, which directly delayed their food crisis by five or six days.

Moreover, their marching speed was greatly improved. The living people had completely eliminated the infantry and turned into cavalry. Although the undead spirits were mainly infantry, they were not afraid of the cold winter sun and could march non-stop for 24 hours. Their speed was only faster than that of the cavalry.
