[Irelia: Then do you know where Ash is? ]
[Anonymous: Study hard, everything still depends on your own ability. ]
Irelia hesitated for a moment.
What do you mean, let her study hard?
It must be Dean Letitia.
“It seems that my guess is correct. Don’t be impatient. Get in touch with her slowly. Dean Letitia can’t fight for the throne, nor does she need to. So Ash is safest with her. Once I gain her trust, I can win her over.”
Irelia thought about it carefully and decided on the next course of action.
[Irelia (private): I have a question and would like to ask you. Do you have time? ]
……
at the same time.
Wei Nei opened the strategic map and looked at the location of the Principality of Avalon.
“It’s not far from Avanir.”
The Principality of Avanir was the first dungeon point she and Ash opened, and its prince Avan was also her target to win over.
Ivan’s three-dimensional attributes are quite good, a definitely top-quality purple card.
However, Ivan recently returned to Avanir to deal with some matters, which resulted in no one being able to save Ivan in the recent incident of the three princesses snatching people in the academy.
A high-attribute purple card that will be very useful later.
Wei Nei summarized the reasons for this failure. A big problem was that there were more soldiers than generals. There were too few excellent purple cards, not to mention gold cards. Not a single one was seen.
“Well… although it’s unlikely, let’s go and take a look. It’s okay to stay in the academy anyway.”
Vene was planning to go to Avalon for a visit, and if Ash wasn’t there, she would stop by Avanir and take action in advance to prevent Aven from being snatched away by the other two princesses.
Huh? Class?
What is that and can it be eaten?
“Alia! Alia! Pack up, I’m going out! Remember to go quietly!”
—-simulation—-
[In June 1783, the Principalities of Bayatin, Acreus, and Tochia surrendered to the Kingdom of Ice.]
[In the same month, Queen Esde led her troops westward and arrived at the Creek Plains, where they encountered resistance from 50,000 men from the Principality of Nastah.]
【King Nasda announced the formation of an alliance army to fight against the Arctic Ice Kingdom.】
[The Principality of Savassi announced that it would join the Allied Forces. 】
【The Principality of Casat announced its joining of the Allied Forces. 】
【…】
【…】
As the Arctic Ice Kingdom’s army expanded outward, seven countries were conquered in succession in just two months. Now, among the largest remaining hostile forces of the Arctic Ice, the Principality of Nastda is the strongest, and is currently forming an alliance army to compete with the army led by Esde.
“These guys really don’t give up.”
After Ash finished dealing with the matters in Kazakh City, he turned around and saw the so-called alliance army, and immediately sneered.
He admitted that these countries were more powerful than the coalition of ten nations, but the situation in the north was already determined. The Arctic Ice Kingdom was snowballing and getting bigger and bigger, and it was impossible to stop it.
The biggest difference between Jibing’s situation and Ziling’s is that, firstly, the Holy Court was defeated, and secondly, he has many capable people under his command.
Putting aside the daughter who has reached the peak of the Sanctuary, Magrian and Amabel are both gold cards. There are also purple cards like Lakras who have excellent command abilities. It can be said that the team has many soldiers and generals.
The unification of the territory is a matter of time, and Ash is not worried at all. What he wants now is to improve the overall national strength to meet the standards of establishing an empire.
In fact, his goal is just to get through the first phase of the main storyline. After all, unlocking the free mode later does not require completing the second phase of the mission. However, this is a good opportunity for trial and error. He is still very interested in having the chance to play the empire mode.
Well, it would be even better if it was Fallen Empire.
[You have raised the upper limit of tax payment, causing small-scale unrest within the kingdom and a drop in stability.]
Ash took a glance and thought it was okay.
After thinking for a while, he began to optimize the land policy, “renting” the idle land to civilians, and increasing economic income in disguise through the dual collection of rent and tax. Now the territory of the Arctic Ice Kingdom is too large, and it is a bit of a waste to leave so much land there. Ash plans to give his people some benefits and let them be the masters of the land.
As for the conquered countries, he will not give them any benefits, and will still use the colonial approach, controlling the overall situation by controlling the top leaders, and at the same time carrying out cultural invasion… The main reason is that he does not have so much energy to break down the benefits now, as there are too many conquered countries and regions, and the situations in each place are different. Only after the Arctic Ice Kingdom develops will he have time to manage the surrounding areas.
After Ash finished his work, he opened his personal attribute column and glanced at the spread of Khorne’s faith.
Current followers: 4.2 million
“It has reached a bottleneck.”
Ash began to mobilize Khorne’s personal guards, changing their armor to a uniform blood red color, and printing a big ‘8’ on the armor.
Looking at the Khorne array of 10,000 strong, Ash showed a satisfied smile on his face.
These 10,000 people are the fully-formed personal guards of Khorne. The remaining ones and some newly-transferred ones are led by Esde and others to expand the territory and enhance their strength.
Ten thousand people, all of them are above level five, and even a small number have reached level six. They are all armed with excellent quality. If the Holy See does not take action, he will have no problem leading these ten thousand people to carry out a major sweep of the Rhea continent.
After completing the selection of troops and generals, Ash changed his portrait and transformed himself into the Pope of Khorne, attack!
This time, he wanted Khorne to completely cover the continent of Rhea and break through the ninth-level barrier in one fell swoop!
[In early July 1783, the activity of the Khorne Cult in the North increased dramatically, and the “Pope of Khorne” appeared publicly, leading his followers to destroy churches and kill members of the Holy See.]
[On July 1783, 7, Pope Khorne led his troops to the Holy Land of Miroranka, defeated 7 Holy See defenders, destroyed the worship of the Mother Goddess of Life, and captured more than pilgrims.]
[On the same day, Pope Khorne publicly delivered a speech through magic projection. ]
[Felice: Wow! Everyone, come and see, the Pope of Khorne appears again! ]
[Weinei: Why did he go to attack Mirolanka? ? ]
[Esde: Khorne has been developing in the North for many years. 】
Irelia said nothing. She knew the true identity of the Pope of Khorne better than the other three.
“Ash showed up at this time. Is he planning to attack the Holy See? I’m afraid the one from the Abyss will also take action.”
She was a little hesitant now, wondering whether she should tell Esde about the existence of the white-haired girl. Without a quasi-god-level strong man, she would almost certainly be defeated.
[‘I am the Pope, a messenger gifted by the God of Khorne to walk in the world. With the courage and glory bestowed by God, I explore the truth of the world.’]
The huge projection held the hilt of the sword with both hands, blood-red light burst out from the eyes of the helmet, and slowly said –
[‘Humans are born with sins, and living is to redeem themselves. Life does not rely on any divine power. The Mother Goddess of Life did not give us a chance to live, but the hypocritical Holy Court turned the gods into an excuse to rule, making us bend our backs, bow our heads, and offer everything to gain a glory that does not exist at all! ‘]
[‘They have turned us from human beings into slaves! ‘]
[‘Anyone who resists is called a heretic. Who gave them the right to decide life and death? ‘]
[‘All the proud and brave people, resist! Fight! Khorne will grant you courage and glory. You are no longer the heretics in the eyes of the Holy Court, and no longer the slaves who bow down to the ground. War is not a cruel killing of the living, but redemption! It is liberation! It is the journey towards the evolution of civilization! ‘]
[‘Soldiers, listen up, blood sacrifice to the Blood God!’]
Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
On the magic projection, tens of thousands of blood armors appeared together!
Those who came to make pilgrimage and worship the Mother Goddess of Life were all captured and slaughtered, and their blood was poured on the sacrificial platform!
The blood was instantly ignited like a flame, and flames shot up into the sky amid the tragic and desperate cries.
At this moment, whether it was the people at the Holy See headquarters, the believers in the city of Saint Ino, or the church members who were walking on the pilgrimage and worshipping devoutly, they all raised their heads and looked towards the holy place.
As the bloody power rose high, the sacred statue of the Mother Goddess of Life also became extremely strange at this moment!
[‘Heretic! Heretic! Pope Khorne, you will be punished by God! ‘——Cardinal Kars]
[‘Hahahaha!’ The Pope of Khorne lit the flame, held up the sacrificial offering, and laughed to the sky: ‘For the beloved Mother Goddess of Life, I offer the life of Her most loyal believer! ‘]

Volume 102: Chapter 92 Chapter The Mother Goddess of Life is eating people, the whole world is Khorne, hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Sacrifice Her believers to the Mother Goddess of Life!
Esde was still fighting, and was shocked when he saw the simulation information.
“This guy is crazy!”
She didn’t know that Ash was the Pope of Khorne.
But she knew that the Cult of Khorne was active in the North. Now the Pope showed up and set their holy land on fire. Tens of thousands of believers were killed. They used blood sacrifices to worship the Mother Goddess of Life, who was famous for her “mercy” and “holiness”?
Any normal person would know that this kind of behavior is tantamount to blasphemy and is likely to attract the arrival of the Mother Goddess of Life!
Although Esde has integrated the relics, her strength has not yet grown to its limit. She has not even reached the quasi-god realm, let alone the possibility of fighting against the gods.
So she now wished she could rush to the holy land of Miroranka immediately and chop off the head of the Pope of Khorne and kick it like a ball.
This guy will harm the entire Arctic Ice Kingdom!
However, a shocking scene occurred.
On top of the towering holy land, under the gaze of countless pilgrims at the foot of the mountain, when Ash shouted for sacrifice, the bloody power was unexpectedly absorbed by a mysterious and great will!
It is known that this is the sacrificial site of the Mother Goddess of Life. Tens of thousands of believers were slaughtered by heretics. The heretics used the lives of believers as sacrifices, and now the life force of all believers has been absorbed.
Question: Who did it?
It can’t be Khorne, right?
Carls’s reaction gave everyone the answer.
[‘Attack! Attack! Kill these heretics! They are insulting the holy sacrifice. This is the power of Khorne coming! ‘]
The next moment, a large number of Holy See troops rushed out from the headquarters base and marched towards the holy land of Mirolanka.
But it was too late. Even if they were faster, the sacrifice had already begun!
[Felice: This… the sacrifice was actually successful? Is this sacrifice to Khorne or the Mother Goddess of Life? ]
[Weinei: It must be the Mother Goddess of Life. This is the sacrificial scene of the Holy Court. All the ritual procedures are carried out according to the method of sacrificing to the Mother Goddess of Life. The only difference is that the final sacrifice has been changed.]
According to the normal sacrificial ceremony, pilgrims will kneel on the holy mountain and chant the name of the Mother Goddess of Life, offering her their most loyal faith.
Now everything is ready, except for the pilgrims who have to gather. In fact, apart from the 10,000 pilgrims killed by Ash on the mountain, there are pilgrims rushing everywhere around Mirolanka. Most of these people come from cities around the Holy See headquarters, especially Saint Ino City. Others even come from all over the continent. The final number will reach more than 300,000.
Just an ordinary sacrifice can attract so many people, and there are also sacrificial venues held by the Holy Court in various regions. If all these are counted, the number of people cannot be counted at all. This is enough to show the appeal of the Mother Goddess of Life in the continent of Rhea.
But now, what these loyal believers saw was the successful blood sacrifice of the Mother Goddess of Life. Such a scene was enough to shatter their three views.
[‘Hahaha! Did you see it? Did you see it? This is the Mother Goddess you think you are kind! She is eating the flesh of her believers! She is drinking the blood of her believers! She has never been merciful, you have all been deceived by the Holy See! !’ The Pope of Khorne laughed loudly. ]
The effect of the magic projection was synchronized in all the major cities. This scene carefully arranged by Ash was to let everyone see that the benevolent God you believe in is eating people!
During this period, Ash has investigated a lot of things about the Holy See. One of his main concerns is the number of slaves sent from other places to Saint Ino City and other places in recent years, which far exceeds local demand.
Not everyone would buy a slave to have sex with.
In fact, there are many devout believers who truly believe that the Mother Goddess of Life is kind to all living beings and that desecrating life will be punished, so they will choose to be kind, even to slaves.
Even if the clergy of the Holy See wanted to create slaves, they would do it in secret.
Ash made a quick count and discovered that the number of slaves was not right.
The slaves who were screwed were only a part of it.
And a large part of it seems to have disappeared from then on.
As a collector of Khorne faith, he could clearly feel the power that gathered when his believers performed sacrifices for him – this was a spontaneous process of absorbing power, as long as there was a sacrifice, the generated power would flow into his body, and he didn’t need to control it at all.
This means that as long as the method of sacrifice is correct, the sacrifice will be successful.
Is the Mother Goddess of Life really merciful?
Ash wanted to say fuck it!
You’ve already established a colony, and you’re still talking about mercy and love. If I don’t cut off your head and use it as a chamber pot, that’s mercy, right?
From what he now sees, no god in this world can be called merciful. Is the Goddess of Nature merciful? She doesn’t care about the lives of her followers at all. Is the God of the Sea merciful? Didn’t the sea tribe get destroyed by him anyway?
At most, the two gods just glanced over at him, maybe to thank him for helping to clean up these believers who were complaining all day long but not doing their work!
