Openly Repair the Plank Road, Secretly March Through Chencang
"Miracle!"
"A miracle! This is absolutely a miracle!"
Only a miracle could have such an amazing effect.
The slaves roared inwardly, their faces filled with disbelief and excitement.
Although as a lowly slave, he could never enjoy the grace of the gods in his lifetime.
But they did know the word "miracle".
However, at this moment they personally experienced the power of a miracle and received a blessing from the gods.
How could they not be moved by this unexpected surprise?
This is a true miracle.
An unprecedented miracle!
Their eyes welled up with tears, blurring their vision.
A deep sense of gratitude and awe welled up within me, as if the whole world had become beautiful and sacred at that moment.
Praise be to the Ork God!
"Waaaaagh!"
They knelt on the ground, imitating the people of Blackwater Fief, and awkwardly prayed to the Ork God.
Although the movements were clumsy, they were absolutely sincere and devout.
With their prayers, a great deal of Power of Faith was generated.
They prayed silently, thanking the gods for their generous gift, and secretly vowed to cherish this rare blessing and repay the gods' kindness with their actions.
In fact, on the way to Blackwater Fief, Ma Dexiang had sent someone to introduce them to the religious information of the Ork God.
However, since they were still slaves at the time, they didn't care about such things at all.
Even the greatest god wouldn't protect slaves like them.
It's out of the question.
But I never expected --
"Ork God is indeed different from other gods!"
"This kind of vision, this kind of power..."
"Just as the treasure book said, only the Ork God is our only father!"
"All other gods are false gods, Evil God!"
Without Chen Changhe needing to publicize it, this idea naturally arose in the minds of these newly arrived slaves.
They discussed it excitedly, their eyes gleaming with fervor.
They were filled with awe and worship for the Ork God, regarding him as the supreme being.
Even those few Elves have completely abandoned the Elven Goddess they once worshipped and become devout followers of the Ork God.
As is customary, the territory would hold a grand banquet to welcome the new slaves who had joined the territory.
This banquet was more than just a simple welcoming ceremony; it was an opportunity for celebration and integration.
The entire territory was filled with an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation, and people were busy preparing, wanting to make things as perfect as possible.
Meanwhile, Chen Changhe, the owner of the territory, once again focused his attention on the territory's attribute panel.
Name: Chen Changhe (Wang Zizhen)
Occupation: Lord
Territory: Blackwater Fief (Territory Level 2)
Contracted God's Chosen: Julia (Second- Ork God God's Chosen)
Population: 9230
Development level: 90
Happiness level: 90
Environmental value: -79
Power of Faith Storage: 29819
Probability of the God's Chosen appearing: 0.019
Lord Talent: Mini-map (can detect surrounding creatures, exclusive talent)
Ork God (the ability to transform other gods 'God's Chosen into Ork God's God's Chosen; the target God's Chosen must be in a state of being unable to resist during the transformation).
Ork Conversion (Occupying territory grants Orkification; the inhabitants of the territory will gradually acquire Orkification over time, continuously improving their physical attributes, recovery abilities, and resistance to abnormal statuses.)
In just that brief moment, the storage of Power of Faith increased by more than 20,000.
This put Chen Changhe at ease.
At this rate, it won't be long before we can start planning our conquest of the other cities in Blackwater Fief.
"Of course, we can't go too fast either..."
On the one hand, so many houses are not needed.
The territory we currently occupy is large enough to accommodate our existing personnel.
Even if you occupy more territory, it will only remain vacant.
There's no point in doing this.
On the other hand, it's also to avoid attracting too much attention.
For a new lord who has just entered the Northlands, to recapture a city so quickly is already quite unbelievable.
If he were to reclaim more territory, it wouldn't be long before news of him reached Nefertari Vivi. Dragon.
He didn't want to attract the Empress's attention so quickly.
We'll have to wait until he gets more manpower.
Only by having more manpower.
Only then could he take down all the Corrupted Creatures of the Northlands in one fell swoop.
This was his only way to quickly erode the Corruption Mists.
The Corrupted Creatures and the Corruption Mists are actually one and the same.
These Corrupted Creatures are not only followers of the Corruption Goddess, but also the source of her Divine Power.
Only by completely eliminating the Corrupted Creatures in one go.
Only then could they suppress the Corruption Divine Power within the Corruption Mists to a controllable range before Nefertari Vivi Dragon could react.
Only in this way can he achieve final victory.
"What a pity... if only I were still the heir to the Lion Earl's Domain..."
The Lion Earl's Domain several hundred thousand people, plus some subordinate territories.
The number of people reached over a million.
If there were such a large number of people, Chen Changhe could save at least several years of time.
However, he has now been stripped of his right to inherit the territory.
He no longer had any connection with the Lion Earl's Domain, and it was impossible for him to return and inherit it even if he wanted to.
Moreover, the Earl was located in the interior of the Imperium.
She will definitely be under Nefertari Vivi's close scrutiny.
There's definitely something going on.
Nefertari Vivi. Dragon will know immediately.
He really wouldn't dare to do anything underhanded there.
"So... being exiled to the Northlands seems to be a good thing for me."
"But the population of this territory..."
"It's really not easy to get promoted."
Buying slaves is not an option in the short term.
Chen Changhe's purchase of nearly 10,000 slaves in such a short time is already quite remarkable.
If we buy more slaves, I'm afraid Nefertari Vivi's dragon spies will come knocking on our door.
Given how important the Northlands is to the Corruption Goddess, Chen Changhe couldn't believe that Nefertari Vivi, the Dragon, hadn't planted spies there.
"Going to other lords' territories to suppress bandits is a good option."
If we could acquire someone like Vasili, that would actually be quite good.
However, doing so would cause too much of a stir.
It's not easy to hide it from others.
This will also attract the attention of others.
"Otherwise..."
"So you're not going to cause trouble within the Dragon Empire's territory?"
The Northlands was originally the border of the Dragon Empire, connecting the lands of the Beastfolk Kingdom, the Elves, and the Goblin Tribal Alliance.
Nefertari Vivi. No matter how far the dragon's reach extends, it's only within the Imperium's borders.
In other kingdoms, her information network might not be as efficient.
If you travel from the Northlands to other kingdoms to develop your territory.
That seems like a good idea.
It's a classic case of feigning one move while secretly making another!
