Chapter 900: Enemy at the Gate

The benefits of doing so are obvious.

The impact on the original ruling class of the mercenary army is not that great. Not only will they not oppose it, but they will warmly welcome it.

After all, the holy strategists belong to the priests of the war god system. They are both civil and martial. They can not only charge on horseback, but also cast priest spells, which can greatly enhance their safety factor on the battlefield.

As for the strategies they bring, they are relatively minor.

At least now, those captains and generals do not pay attention to it.

But if they are deprived of their power and replaced at the beginning, even if they are the exclusive priests of the strategy lady, they will attract violent backlash from these generals and captains.

These holy strategists form a huge network, an internal skeleton, which supports the mercenary army and is used to strengthen all aspects of it.

Their role is not obvious now, but when the war breaks out, various conveniences will be revealed.

It won’t be long before those generals and captains will become command tools in their hands, order issuers and charge leaders.

If these generals and captains behaved too badly, they would naturally use thundering means to replace them.

However, everyone's attention was still on the unprecedented preaching of the Lady of Strategy.

"Gabe, Gabe, Gabe, hurry up, hurry up, we will be late soon, if we are late, the good positions will be taken away, and we will not be able to watch the whole thing."

"Don't worry, I have thought of a way to ensure that you can watch from beginning to end, as if you are in the center of the war, and appreciate the essence of the strategy and tactics of the Lady of Strategy."

"What are you doing with the rope?"

"This is the key to my plan. When we watched "Conqueror: Ascension War" last time, I noticed that there were several big trees not far away. Wait, we won't follow them. Those idiots got ahead of us. Let's just climb up the tree and use ropes to tie ourselves up. The view will definitely be much better than from below."

"Gabe, you have as many tricks as ever. This method is good. I think you will become an excellent pastor of the strategy lady in the future, or even a holy strategist. You can stabilize the country with your literary skills and charge into battle with your martial arts. It's really cool."

"Hahaha... Gabe becomes a holy strategist? Haha... What should his nickname be? Barrel Knight? He took the rope purely for himself, so he didn't I'm afraid I'll fall from the tree later, haha..."

"Just because he's fat now doesn't mean he'll be fat when he grows up. Starting tomorrow, we'll participate in militia training together. He'll definitely become a holy strategist when he grows up!"

"I don't know if Gabe can become a holy strategist. I only know that he's not the only one with the potential to be a holy strategist. Not only those trees, but even the surrounding roofs are full of people. There's no place for us at all."

"Fuck, why are they here so early? There's still more than an hour before the phantom starts!"

"It seems that everyone has been enlightened by Ms. Strategy and has started planning ahead."

"No way, old rules, get in."

"Don't squeeze, no matter whose child it is, there's no room in the front."

"Oh, who stepped on my foot."

"Maintain order and prevent stampedes."

Under normal circumstances, the sermons of the gods are the affairs of adults. Even if there are children participating, most of them are influenced by adults and brought along. Most children are unlikely to be interested in those boring doctrines.

However, the sermons of Lady Strategy using phantoms became a carnival for children, and they were the most active group.

Even for those adults, this new way of preaching brought them multiple impacts of vision, hearing and soul.

In the entertainment enjoyment, the knowledge and teachings of Lady Strategy were instilled into the hearts of those audiences, and they resonated and identified with them, and became the topic they talked about with relish afterwards.

Many people even forgot that the Tukans were about to attack the city.

Those who watched it once wanted to watch it again, and those who missed the first time had been praised by people around them, which aroused their curiosity and prepared to experience it in person during the replay.

This led to the whole city of Tevram going crazy when "Conqueror: Ascension War" was replayed. There were crowds of people around the statue of Lady Strategy. Not only the square streets, but also the surrounding houses and trees were full of people.

Gavin and his team were experienced in this. They had broadcast this kind of memory phantom for more than one or two times, and they were very clear about the impact and attraction it had on ordinary people, especially those who had never seen such things.

Their enthusiasm can last for months. Even if it is broadcast every day, every show will be full.

After all, there are too few entertainment programs in this world. Unless they can be popularized and everyone is accustomed to them, and there are more choices, the enthusiasm will not fade.

Gavin and his team have made full preparations for this. The remaining eight statues of Ms. Strategy fell into Tevram together without any order, and the location was carefully selected.

Not only is it the most open area in the city, but it also has a mesh structure, covering the entire city as much as possible.

The first thing that the Tevram mercenary garrison that Gavin took over did was to maintain order at the scene to prevent stampedes, and at the same time let them receive the baptism of faith from Ms. Strategy up close.

Those veterans were not just there to watch the fun. Their rich war experience allowed them to clearly feel the power of Ms. Strategy's strategies and tactics.

This was a means to increase their survival rate on the battlefield, so they would naturally pay more attention to it than anyone else.

Although Feren had a resurrection spell, it was out of reach for most soldiers, and not everyone could afford the expensive resurrection spell materials.

Especially in the face of a large-scale war like a siege, when people died in large numbers like grass, it was even more impossible to resurrect.

Not to mention, the Tukan army was led by an evil god, and the souls of the dead were harvested by him.

"It's started, it's started, the play has started."

"Quiet, everyone, be quiet."

When the magic light lit up on the huge statue of the Goddess of Strategy, the originally noisy square instantly became silent, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the statue of Ms. Strategy.

As the light and shadow effects appeared, the statue of the Lady of Strategy gradually disappeared, replaced by various monsters that surged in - hobgoblins, gnolls, lizardmen and undead bone claws.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. The lizard queen kept eating as soon as she appeared.

Regina herself is a very good bard. She has been immersed in stage plays for many years and knows everything from scenery to plot.

Memory projection is nothing more than a different way of showing. It has not changed in essence.

It is even much simpler than stage plays.

Because she doesn't need to consider the actors or the plot, she only needs to extract the appropriate memories and combine them together.

Reality is often more exciting than stage plays, and what Gavin and his friends did in the Goblin Borderland is such a case.

Of course, how to combine, how to narrate, how to mobilize the audience's emotions, let them be in it, and feel the same, is also a learning.

Regina's ability in this area has long been verified. Even on Earth, where the film industry is booming, it is top-notch.

Conqueror: The Battle of the Gods.

The excerpt is about the Conqueror Army entering the Goblin Borderland. The Conqueror Army faced a blockade behind and a blockade from the Monster Alliance in front.

In the first ten minutes of the entire phantom, she used various perspectives to show the brutality and power of the three monster armies.

This phantom itself has an advantage. The enemy is not human, but various famous monsters. They are not causing trouble in one place, but everywhere, including the Kingdom of Sesk.

When watching the movie, even without the foreshadowing of the first part, all regular races (humans, elves, dwarves and halflings) will instinctively put themselves on the side of the Conqueror Army. Only a very small number of evil people will agree with what those monsters do.

"Ahhhh... Monster, monster rushed out, no, no, no..."

"How could this happen? It wasn't like this last time. Although the scene last time was real, it was just a magic projection. This time, how come I was directly in it? Everything seemed to be happening around me?"

"Don't panic, don't be confused. This is just a real phantom. This is another more immersive viewing mode. Last time, it was not turned on for fear of causing a riot. This time, many people are mentally prepared. Don't worry, even if these monsters are close to you, even if you are in the monster's mouth, you will not be hurt."

When the memory phantom started, the scene was still out of control and chaos occurred. Not only did the people who watched the movie for the first time lose control and shout, but those who came to watch the replay were also shocked.

Last time, although the memory projection was real, it was played at a distance. They felt like a God's perspective.

This time, everything came at them head-on. Regardless of the distance, everyone felt like they were in the memory projection and became part of it. They could even smell the ammonia smell emanating from the black-scaled lizardmen and the fishy hot air sprayed from the mouths of those monsters.

There was an illusion that those big mouths and sharp blades would fall on them in the next second.

The staff who had already been scattered among them immediately explained and comforted them.

But the reason they gave was just an excuse.

The real reason was that this time it was no longer a memory projection, but a divine power projection powered by the divine power of the statue of the Lady of Strategy, using the faith contributed by the citizens during the last viewing process.

With the support of divine power, the projection playback range is not only wider, but the senses are upgraded from the two views of sight and hearing to the three views of sight, smell, and hearing.

Just an improvement in one view is enough to make everything change dramatically and give people a sense of being there.

Especially when thousands of arrows are fired, thousands of horses are charging, and countless monsters jump out of the turbulent river.

Even though the citizens of Tevram were told in advance that everything was fake and illusions, they could not help but scream, and they had a deeper understanding of the strategies and tactics of Lady Strategy and the army of conquerors.

As a result, they had more recognition, awe and expectations for Lady Strategy, hoping that she and her exclusive priests could lead Tevram to an unprecedented glorious victory like the Battle of the Gods, and keep the Tukans out.

Gavin and his team were right in their previous speculation. With the army of terror led by Yamen Khan, Tevram showed unprecedented unity. Not only did the Shadow Master Guild not block the entry of Lady Strategy.

Even those vicious pirates helped and supported them.

It was not that their conscience suddenly came to their senses, but that both sides had the same interests and demands, which was to defend Tevram and their biggest source of wealth.

With everyone working together, the development speed of Lady Strategy's faith in Tevram City reached an incredible level.

It seemed that overnight, everyone became a devout believer of Lady Strategy, from the elderly to the children who just learned to speak, and they could talk about the three core doctrines of Lady Strategy.

The city was once again injected with vitality. Under the command of the war headquarters headed by Gavin, the city defense of the entire city began to be adjusted on a large scale.

Not only were the hired city defense forces fully mobilized, but even the ordinary citizens were encouraged to join in.

It's not that they were asked to defend on the city walls. Even if the lady of strategy was a god, it was impossible for an ordinary citizen to become a warrior in just a few days.

But it was no problem for them to pick up tools and help Tevram City add more fortifications.

Just as they were racing against time to prepare, the Tukan army led by Yamen Khan rushed towards Tevram with an unstoppable torrent.

They are now called blood disasters by the Sesk people.

Not only because blood will inevitably dye the earth red wherever they pass.

But also because before seeing their army, the first thing they saw was the bloody sky, the overwhelming blood clouds directly covered half of the sky.

This is a sign of the uncontrollable expansion of Yamen Khan's power, which makes his style of behavior more and more crazy, and his similarity with the former Lord of Murder Baal is getting higher and higher. Ascension to God has become an imminent matter.

Only by ascending to God, only by reshaping the killing godhood and raising the kingdom of God, can this huge killing force be put under their control again.

Use mortals to control divine power, and then ascend to godhood when you have medium or strong divine power.

That is just a wishful thinking of mortals.

Let alone, collecting faith as a mortal has many rules and regulations, which will be counterproductive, and many powers that originally belong to you will be missed.

Once the divine power controlled by him exceeds a certain level, not only will the repulsion intensity of the plane law be greatly increased, but the divine power will also rebel, and in turn affect the holder.

As a mortal controlling divine power, Yamen Khan's situation is far better than Gavin.

Not only because the killing power controlled by Yamen Khan is stronger.

It is also because Gavin's divine power is more diverse, and he separates the divine power from the soul.

The road power currently only involves faith and concept power, and does not involve the soul.

The immortal power currently mainly involves the soul and concept power, but not the faith. Moreover, Gavin is only a user, not a carrier, and the carrier is the Vizeme Manor.

Invisibly, this fits one of the many elements of the gods - the kingdom of God.

The reason why the kingdom of God is a necessity for ascending to the gods is that its main function is to serve as the place where believers return after death.

Yamen Khan does not have his own kingdom of God. The souls harvested by him can only surround him in the form of killing souls.

These souls died because of murder and violence. No matter whether they were good or evil in their lives, they have become a thing of the past. What is left for them now is only endless anger and resentment, and their hearts are filled with only killing and destruction.

Even if it is a normal person, it will not take long for him to go crazy if he is in the endless resentment of these killing souls all day long, not to mention that Yamen Khan himself controls this kind of power.

This will accelerate the distortion and corruption of his mind, which will also affect the Tukan army under his leadership, making them tyrannical and bloodthirsty.

Large-scale massacres can be said to be inevitable.

If they are not completely defeated, the situation will only become more and more serious until the entire Furen continent is dragged into the scorching hell composed of blood and fire.

The first to arrive at Tevram City was the Tukan cavalry.

After they arrived at the city, they directly cut off all the land transportation lines of Tevram City. At the same time, thousands of Tukan Eagle Knights went around the Falling Star Sea and drove away all the surrounding ships.

There was only one purpose, which was to turn Tevram City into a completely isolated city.

At nightfall, the Tukan undead infantry arrived, vast and endless.

Skeletons, zombies, skeleton knights, etc., these undead are mainly low-level physical undead, and basically no shadow of spiritual undead can be seen.

There is no need to explain the reason. The souls were taken away by Yamen Khan. Without souls, how can there be spiritual undead.

There was no pre-war mobilization or any communication. The moment the Tukan undead army arrived at Tevram City was also the moment when the war broke out.

Whether it was Yamen Khan or Gavin, they all knew that there was no room for compromise and negotiation between the two sides. In this war, it was either you die or I die.

Along with the army of undead, the killing whirlwind brought up by Yamen Khan came up.

Compared to the Asen Lake, the momentum of this killing whirlwind was more than three times stronger.

It is not known whether the killing souls became stronger along with Yamen Khan, or whether they absorbed enough power in the process of continuous killing. Their body contours became very clear, like a group of furious soldiers, following Yamen Khan and rushing towards the enemy, eager to start killing. (End of this chapter)
