But this is a good thing for him.

Ash stood in the corridor on the second floor, waved his hand, and the invincible effect turned into golden rays of light that fell on the soldiers.

“My soldiers, kill!”

The rain of arrows had not stopped yet, and the soldiers of Herlans wanted to rush out of the mine, but they were quickly blocked by people who were ambushing around. Among the 1,500 soldiers, there were 500 archers, and the remaining 1,000 soldiers cut off their retreat. The strength of the soldiers who were blessed with the effect of the golden entry immediately skyrocketed.

That’s the benefit of simulation!

In the game, everyone has famous general skills, but in reality, only people who simulate the game can trigger them through “plug-ins”. In other words, including Ash and the Queen can release famous general skills, but others cannot.

This is a huge gap.

You know, the effect of a golden entry upgrade is very obvious. Even without action skills, the famous general skills and the entry effects obtained in the simulation alone are enough to give them a huge leading advantage in reality.

This was a battle without any suspense.

“MD is really in easy mode.”

Hell mode in simulation, simple mode in reality.

But this is just the beginning.

It was not until Ash shouted “Surrender and you won’t be killed” that the guards of Kazakh City laid down their weapons, raised their hands and shouted “Surrender” without any dignity.

And Herlans was so scared that he huddled up among the guards.

Helen walked up to him, grabbed his collar and pulled hard, and he fell to the ground. He screamed while being dragged away by Helen, and finally dropped in front of Ash.

Upon seeing this, Herlans’s personal guards were so frightened that they dared not say a word.

After a few rounds of arrow rain and the charge of the guards of Satika City, only a little over a thousand of the three thousand soldiers were left. Now, the archers on the corridor on the second floor were waiting for Ash’s orders with their weapons drawn. How dare they make any move?

In fact, there were more than a thousand people left, which was not a small number. However, these people were frightened and lost their will to fight. No one dared to fight anymore.

The army was defeated like a mountain.

In historical defeats, most casualties began with the defeat. On the contrary, the least number of casualties occurred in frontal fighting. Once the defeat turned into a rout, many people died during the escape.

Therefore, Ash has always attached great importance to the morale of the army. Even if they lose the battle or are killed, they cannot retreat!

In fact, it is better to have “soldiers” without self-awareness, not necessarily limited to humans, such as… the Zerg?

It’s easy to mass-produce soldiers, and they don’t need weapons or equipment. When fighting, you can just use your army to crush the enemy. The downside is that it’s quite stressful to raise so many bugs… Of course, Ash doesn’t have anywhere to get the bugs now.

“My Lord Earl, do you like the welcome ceremony I prepared for you?” Ash stood in front of Herlans and looked at him with a smile.

Herlans raised his head nervously, his face full of fear: “Ash, what are you going to do?”

“What you are saying is that the Earl wanted to rob me, and I was just defending myself.”

Herlans thought to himself, if I had known you were like this, I wouldn’t have come.

“Helen, tie up those guys and throw them into the mine.” Ash ordered.

Soon, the surrendered soldiers were tied up and locked in the mines. Then he ordered people to pile up the bodies of the dead soldiers and build a simple altar.

“Master Ash, what should we do?”⑷

Helen, who was puzzled by all this, asked.

“Sacrifice to the gods.”

…land

Night falls.

There was silence in the mine.

All the miners and defeated prisoners were thrown into the depths of the mine by Ash.

The remaining Tissaka guards were all his slaves and had been tamed long ago, so there was no need to worry at all.

Blood sacrifice to the blood god, this kind of thing can be done casually in the simulation of Riash. After all, even if he is surrounded and hunted as a cultist, the worst that can happen is death, and he can start all over again.

But in reality, if the Holy See knew about this stage, no one would be able to save him even if he was burned on the cross.

The night is dark and windy.

The bonfire swayed in the night breeze, lighting up the darkness.

In front of the altar, on the high platform where a large number of corpses were piled, Ash silently recited the sacrificial words, transforming himself into the most evil heretic in the world.

“Great Khorne, the god of war and slaughter, courage follows you, glory is the gift in your palm, darkness lurks in the shadows, and light also submits to you. You are an existence beyond everything. Push away the fog, witness the truth, and come to the world!”

“The Great Khorne…”

The sound echoed in the silent night, and the entire mine was like a cold hell. Then a cold wind swept over, and the guards around became restless.

A cold fear began to spread, and a bloody mist spread from the altar, gradually covering the entire mine. All the people shrouded in the mist raised their heads and looked at Ash on the altar, with a strong sense of awe in their hearts.

The thin figure was not tall, but it was covered in blood mist, as if there was an invisible giant figure on it. Just by looking at it, one could feel a huge sense of oppression in the spirit. The soldiers lowered their heads and shouted his name involuntarily –

“Khorne!”

“Khorne!”

“Khorne!”

The sound echoed in the mine.

After Ash finished reciting the words of sacrifice, he opened his hands and shouted: “Sacrifice blood to the Blood God, offer skulls to the Skull Throne, and everything will submit to Khorne!”

boom! ~~

A huge blood-red column of light shot up from the altar into the sky. The power of the light column would devour all the bodies that were sacrificed. When all the bodies were scattered, the power of the blood column would fall from the sky and land on Ash.

Ash suddenly felt full of strength.

【The sacrifice was successful.】

[The Khorne Faith Path has been activated. 】

As the prompt sounded, Ash suddenly had a magical feeling. This feeling was very vague, as if he was looking down from a great perspective. Ash could see the “faith” in him in this world. Khorne did not originally exist on the continent of Rhea, but this did not mean that there were no people walking on the path of faith in Khorne. It’s just that they didn’t even know that they were carrying out the will of Khorne.

But at this moment, with the activation of Ash’s Khorne faith path, a certain will emanated from him, directly affecting all the people on this path.

This influence is invisible and cannot be detected by others. Only those who truly believe in Khorne can vaguely sense its existence, and then submit to Ash’s will from the bottom of their hearts and become his believers.

So Ash was a little confused.

What’s going on? Khorne is actually me?

Because the simulation only has the ability to collect faith, Ash cannot experience this state at all, but now through the power of faith, Ash can even listen to the prayers of those devout people.

It is equivalent to that as long as someone offers a sacrifice to him, he can obtain this power, and when his strength is sufficient, he can even let his will descend upon the site of sacrifice… In simple terms, it is the descent of a god.

But the problem is…

How the hell am I Khorne? I’m just an ordinary Paradox player!

“Forget it. Justice is in the hearts of the people. I just need to know it myself.”

Ash thought so.

On the other side, more than a thousand soldiers who witnessed the awakening of Khorne gathered a force from their bodies and condensed it on Ash. At the same time, Ash was surrounded by a column of blood, and the force on it dispersed and enveloped these people, transforming their bodies.

The first one to feel the change was Helen. She was surprised to find that her strength was increasing at an incredible speed. The incredible will contained in the blood mist was affecting her. Helen could feel that it was the will of the great lord, Lord Ash.

So she relaxed her mind and accepted this power with her whole heart.

Ash’s eyes turned, and with the perception from the source of Khorne faith, he knew the state Helen was in. After thinking for a moment, he directly used “God’s Choice” on her.

Although Helen’s strength is only at the fourth level, she is young and has great potential. The most important thing is that she is loyal to him. This loyalty is not only influenced by his ideological guidance, but also because Ash saved her from a desperate situation.

God’s chosen ones who have been trained since childhood must be loyal.

【Helen has become your chosen one. 】

Ash opened the interface and was able to see Helen’s character card. Her attributes were all mediocre, but her kendo talent was 94 and her loyalty was as high as 95.

Ash liked this kind of talent the most.

Capable of getting things done, not causing trouble, and loyal.

At this time, with the infusion of Khorne’s power, Helen’s strength was also increasing rapidly. She instantly broke through the fourth level, then reached the fifth level, and after a long time she reached the sixth level before stopping.

The effect of God’s Choice will work according to the target’s potential and Ash’s strength. After Ash awakened his faith, his strength was raised to the third level, but his faith was just beginning and the Cult of Khorne had not yet developed, so this power of faith was very weak, basically in the state of a small flame.

Later, as more and more followers of Khorne join him, his power will become stronger and stronger, until he enters the realm of God, and he will not need any training at all.

“I will eventually embark on the path of becoming Khorne.”

……

It turns out that Khorne is really useful.

The benefits brought by the awakening faith path are far greater than Yashu imagined. At the beginning, he only planned to use the spirit of Khorne to erode and control Herlans, making him a puppet to control the city of Kazakhstan.

Because the control of titles above the earl is too strict, and Ash doesn’t want to attract attention at this time, he can only support a puppet to take the position.

The process went very smoothly. When Ash told Herlance about the greatness of Khorne, the latter immediately prostrated himself on the ground and expressed his determination to follow Khorne forever. His loyalty was instantly maximized.

Well, if he still doesn’t surrender, Ash will go to the slave market to buy two orcs to entertain him.

What made Ash happiest was not Herlans’s obedience, because that was inevitable, but the fact that after the blood sacrifice, the strength of all the soldiers who witnessed the awakening of Khorne was greatly improved.

Although not as terrifying as Helen, in terms of strength alone, it is no worse than an ordinary Iron Pagoda.

Even if there were only 1,300 men (200 died in the battle).

But, 1,300 fully armed Iron Pagodas in this remote border area can be described in two words – invincible!

Originally, Ash had not planned to develop the Iron Pagoda so quickly, not because it was expensive, but because the training cycle was relatively long. It would take about half a year for an ordinary soldier to reach the standard of the Iron Pagoda through training, and not everyone had this potential. Some soldiers simply had poor physical fitness and could not meet the standard. It would be useless even if you let them train to death.

However, the alchemical medicine that strengthens the power of his bloodline was not something he could afford at that time.

Therefore, these 1,300 people are very important to Ash now. As long as he gets a set of corresponding equipment, he will be invincible on the border of Avalon.

Then Ash soon discovered that these people had become his ‘Khorne Guards’.

This profession is a type of soldier that is only available through the path of Khorne faith. Asher can give the target the title of ‘Khorne Guard’. After becoming a Khorne Guard, the strength can be improved through fighting on the battlefield, which means that the more you kill, the faster your strength will increase!

The Chosen Ones can cultivate high-end combat power for Khorne.

And Khorne’s personal guards are your reliance on the battlefield!

After realizing this, Ash felt a burning sensation in his heart.

“What else is there to say? Start killing!”

……

……

The bounties are still open. The bounties for last week have been counted today. I still owe 7000 words. Brothers, hurry up. Don’t pity me. Monthly tickets! Monthly tickets! More! Everything!

Volume 90: Chapter 80 Chapter Esde: I will never use Ash! Khorne’s guards begin the massacre! New simulation starts

The Kazakh city is located in the southeast of the town of Satika, 30 kilometers away, and has a very small permanent population of only about 70,000.

Ash did some research and decided that considering the territory resources of Kazakh City, it would not be a problem for 200,000 to 300,000 people to live in the city. However, with poor resources and a small population, there was only one problem – insufficient public security.

According to Herlans, there has always been a group of nomadic soldiers entrenched in the Kazakh territory, burning, killing and looting everywhere, causing panic among the people, and many people are unwilling to come here.

Nomadic peoples are a characteristic of the northern region. Due to the scarcity of resources in the north, many places are not sufficient to support the establishment of a country. Most of the forces are small groups, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand people. Also, due to the great threat of the orcs in the north, the development of fixed towns is simply difficult to maintain. Over time, this kind of nomadic force has been formed.

Most nomadic soldiers are fierce and have strong fighting capabilities. Some of them are even soldiers of all nationalities. Even women can just drop their laundry tubs and pick up swords to do the fighting.

It would undoubtedly be a disaster for such a group to enter Avalon, a country with weak military power, poor management, and no royal authority or credibility.

Herlans once asked for help from the royal city, but unfortunately the message fell on deaf ears. The nobles in the royal city had no intention of paying any attention to him. Anyway, it was impossible for these nomads to invade the inland areas.

“Although they are only 3,000 people, they are simply demons!”

Herlans talked about how he had personally witnessed three thousand nomadic soldiers sweeping through a town under his name. When he learned that the nomadic soldiers had entered his territory, he had thought about killing these ungrateful guys to let them know how powerful Herlans, the Duchy of Avalon, was. However, he gave up after seeing the nomadic soldiers massacring the town.

It’s so funny, I can’t beat it at all!

The other side has 3,000 people, all of them are cavalry, who can ride and shoot as well as fight in close combat, and their fighting power is simply too strong.

He only has 4,000 men under his command. Even if he transferred all the troops stationed in various places, he could only gather about 6,000 at most. 6,000 against 3,000, there is no advantage!

Ash didn’t expect that there were nomadic soldiers in this territory. No wonder no one dared to come. In the North, it was a place where survival of the fittest prevailed. What emerged were a group of bandits. It would be a miracle if ordinary people dared to come.

“We have to get rid of them quickly. There are three thousand men and three thousand horses.”

Ash thought about it and asked Herlans to prepare equipment for his Prince of Khorne, and first equip him into the state of Iron Pagoda.
