Chapter 289 Since You Regard Us as Aliens, Then Be Prepared to Be Ruled by Aliens
Richard had gone to other worlds before, but he didn't interfere too much in that world, unless some people or behaviors made him unhappy and uncomfortable. This time, he saw the persecution of spellcasters in this world, as well as materials such as anti-magic metals.
The witches controlled the surrounding towns, and then asked them to pay taxes, and drew a large number of adult men. All these drawn men were incorporated into the army for training.
Richard directly used mind control on these people, and all the soldiers' loyalty was full. The powerful power of the mind gem allowed Richard to easily enslave tens of millions of people.
[Mind Shackles: Use the power of the mind gem to forcibly distort the mind and consciousness of the controlled person, and permanently and effectively affect all controlled creatures. To break free from control, you must conduct a spellcasting judgment with the mind gem. ]
After Richard controlled all these people, he began military training. At the same time, he selected people with excellent physical fitness from these people and began special training.
In order to improve their strength as soon as possible, Richard transformed the blood of these people and made them blood knights.
There are also a large number of demonized creatures living in this world. Although there are no giant dragons, there are still creatures such as flying dragons. Richard captured several flying dragons and extracted blood from them for purification and quenching.
In the end, a large number of secondary dragon blood potions were produced. This dragon blood potion has almost no spellcasting ability. It can only strengthen strength and physique. Even dragon breath will not appear. After all, these flying dragons are too weak.
By selecting strong people, they use dragon blood potions to forcibly improve their strength. Soon a large number of people became knights, and then they were used as the backbone to train the entire army.
Richard occupied the eastern city of Aedirn, Eisenland. This world is still in the Middle Ages, with slow development and not many big cities. There are only a few cities such as the capital Vengerburg, Guleta, Edesberg, and Eisenland on the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in Aedirn. The rest are some small towns.
After occupying Eisenland, Richard did not continue to expand outward. He needed to form armed forces as soon as possible to lay a solid foundation. At the same time, he officially announced the establishment of the Austrian United Empire, stipulated that Zoroastrianism was an illegal cult, and stipulated that female sorcerers were members of the National Parliament. It is stipulated that witches can enjoy the rights of normal citizens in the Austrian United Empire as long as they declare their allegiance.
According to Richard's order, the witches began to lead the newly formed army to clean up the towns and noble territories around Eisenland. At Richard's request, the nobles must be resolutely cleared out.
If these nobles are not cleared out, how can he distribute land to his men?
Jesse brought a newly formed army to an earl's territory and headed straight for the earl's castle. Jessie, the witch, was surrounded by ten blood knights and a fully armed army behind her. Although they were just formed and their combat effectiveness was not high, they would naturally be elite after several battlefield trials.
Jesse waved his hand, and a blood knight beside him rode directly to the castle.
"Listen up, everyone inside. We are the army commanded by the witch Lord Jeshi of the United Off-Law Empire. If you lay down your weapons and surrender now, we can guarantee your safety. If you refuse, after the city is broken, everyone will be punished as slaves!"
As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged man in armor came out: "All of you witches who have made deals with the devil should be sent to the stake! This is the land left by my ancestors. Don't even think about making us surrender!"
"I will cut off all your heads and hang them on the city wall, and burn that witch on the stake"
"Boom!"
A huge fireball flew over in an instant and hit the castle gate directly. The intense high temperature and explosion directly shattered the castle gate, and even the surrounding walls were blown down.
"Attack!" Jeshi didn't even wait for the earl to finish his words, and launched an attack directly.
"Those who are unwilling to surrender will be killed without mercy!"
"Kill all the rebels!"
As soon as the voice fell, the army that had been waiting for orders for a long time immediately launched a charge. Under the leadership of those bloodline knights, the army was unstoppable. The soldiers in the castle had been frightened by the huge explosion just now, how could they be the opponent of the Blood Knight?
About an hour later, the entire castle was occupied by the army. All the noble males who were not dead were captured, and the women were imprisoned as trophies to be rewarded to the brave warriors.
The gold, silver, jewelry, food, weapons and armor, craftsmen, war horses, and livestock in the castle were all counted and transported back to Eisenland.
According to Richard's request, the cultists, fanatics, and nobles who were higher than the wheel were all beheaded, and the rest were punished as slaves.
At the same time.
In another direction where Jesse led his army and attacked the earldom.
Karina led the army to another town.
"Submit or die!"
"You can choose one!"
The mayor and villagers looked at the witch outside the city and the army behind her, and said tremblingly: "Dear witch, we are willing to surrender."
Looking at the fearful eyes of these people, Karina felt comfortable in her heart. You know, she didn't dare to reveal her identity in the town before. Even the poorest people regarded them as aliens and ominous people.
They would slander, insult and attack them. No matter how they tried to please these people and try to integrate, they always regarded them as aliens. And they tried every means to seize their wealth and burn them to death with those Zoroastrian fanatics.
Now these witches have completely figured it out. Since you regard us as aliens, ominous people, and the source of disasters, then we will become the real disaster! We will completely enslave you! We will make you fear and terrified.
Why should we wrong ourselves? Why should we suffer discrimination and persecution?
Now these witches have fully awakened. Instead of being plundered, persecuted, and discriminated against, it is better to let others be oppressed, feared, terrified, and die!
"Hand over all Zoroastrian cultists, all witch hunters, and pay all taxes!" Karina said directly.
"No!" Many townspeople are Zoroastrian believers and objected.
"Mrs. Witch, there are many people here who believe in Zoroastrianism. We are willing to pay more taxes." The mayor said.
"Boom!" A fireball instantly hit the town gate and blew it open directly.
"This is an order notification, not a negotiation!" Karina said coldly: "Attack!"
"Kill all the rebels, cultists, fanatics, and witch hunters!"
As the order was issued, the army, led by the Blood Knight, launched an attack directly.
One hour later.
The town was completely controlled by the army. All Zoroastrians, fanatics, and witch hunters, except those who died, were captured and sent to the center of the town.
The next step was to repeat the same operation as before, killing all those who were taller than the wheel, and punishing the rest as slaves. When executing this order, some people even suggested that the wheel be laid flat, but it was rejected by Richard, after all, the mine still needed a large number of slaves.
Richard asked the witch and the Blood Knight to lead the army to quickly sweep across the eastern region of the Kingdom of Aedirn. In just one month, all the nobles and towns in the entire eastern region surrendered or were wiped out.
At the same time, a large number of witch hunters, Zoroastrian priests, pastors, and fanatics were captured, and then the criminal laws they had used on witches were re-applied on them.
Finally, all these people were burned to death in squares everywhere! Richard did not intend to rule the world with benevolence. Those ignorant people will not be grateful to you for this, they will only think you are weak.
After drawing a large number of adult men, Richard quickly formed an army of 20,000 people. Of course, these troops are actually untrained.
Richard handed these soldiers to the bloodline knights for training. On the other hand, the best soldiers were selected from these soldiers for bloodline transformation.
At the same time, orphans were collected from all over the country and brought to Eisenland for collective management. Richard asked people to educate these orphans and teach them the knight breathing method to train reserve forces.
Because the bloodline knights are a quick version, their upper limit is basically the upper limit of their bloodline. Most of them can only become great knights, not even earth knights, let alone legends.
In contrast, these children who use the knight breathing method may become legendary knights. Of course, even if they become legends, they are only upgraded from cannon fodder to thugs.
Although Richard taught the Knight Breathing Method, he also restricted it. Breaking through the Knight level requires the use of Green Potion, breaking through the Great Knight requires the use of Azure Potion, and breaking through the Earth Knight also requires the Heart of the Earth Potion.
Of course, you can choose not to use the potion, and the result is that the chance of breaking through is a life-or-death chance. At the same time, control the spread of the Knight Breathing Method.
The entire knight class can become nobles, officials, and ministers of the empire, but they must be controlled by the emperor of the empire.
The witches and wizards in this world are basically congenitally awakened warlocks. After his improvement, some of these warlocks will stay here to maintain the normal operation of the country, and some will be taken back to the floating city by Richard as labor.
A large number of slaves were sent to the mines, and grain from all over the country was also drawn to Aisenlan as military rations. The craftsmen were uniformly arranged to create weapons and armor using the assembly line work mode.
The army was also seizing the time to train. At the same time, Richard asked the witches to send invitations to witches from all over the continent, inviting them to come to Aisenlan to join the Witch Mutual Aid Association and the United Empire of Arcane.
Soon, what happened in Eisenland was spread quickly. The Kingdom of Aedirn never thought that witches would rebel and establish a country here, and the Nilfgaard Empire in the south thought this was an opportunity. The Kingdom of Redania and the Kingdom of Temeria in the north were shocked when they learned the news from Aedirn.
The witches dared to kill nobles, destroy the Church of the Eternal Fire, and kill a large number of missionaries and witch hunters of the Eternal Fire. This made these countries angry, but after anger, there was fear.
These news were more shocking than one.
They knew too well that they had persecuted witches for decades. The reason they dealt with witches was that they had powerful power, and then used rumors, slander, and forgery to attack witches, incited civilians to be hostile to witches, used witches to divert conflicts, and then hunted witches.
Now these witches have united to resist, making them realize that they must eliminate witches as soon as possible. So under the connection of the Church of the Eternal Fire, the northern countries launched a more severe witch-catching campaign, and at the same time prepared to send troops to help Aedirn suppress those witches.
As the country that is most determined to hunt down witches, the Kingdom of Redania had the biggest reaction after hearing the news about the witches. In all the taverns, there were many witch hunters clamoring to form a team to hunt down witches in Aedirn.
Aedirn, Vengerberg Palace.
King Demavi was discussing with the great nobles of the kingdom.
"Okay, everyone is here, let's start the meeting now!"
"Then please ask Earl Pittman to tell us about the specifics of Eisenland!" said the middle-aged man sitting on the other side, dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and slightly bloated.
"Your Majesty, and the nobles, what I want to talk about today is about our future."
"Just a month ago, a group of witch mutual aid organizations appeared. They first attacked some towns, and then killed the rebels, Zoroastrian priests, witch hunters, etc. in the towns."
"Then they asked the towns to surrender to them, pay taxes, and mobilized a large number of adult men in the towns to form an army."
"Next, they broke through other towns around Eisenland and the noble territories of all sizes, and captured Eisenland."
"You said that their temporary army broke through the territories of those nobles and Eisenland?" Another great noble in the hall suddenly asked.
"Yes, their army was completely temporary." Pittman said after a pause.
"This is impossible!"
"How can a newly formed army have such a strong fighting power to break through the nobles' castles and Dacheng Aisenland with tens of thousands of residents?"
"Besides, aren't those witch hunters experts in dealing with witches? Where are they?"
Faced with these people's doubts, Pittman sighed: "Because those witches have found a way to fight against anti-magic bombs, the witch hunters' anti-magic bombs can't interfere with their spells."
"At the same time, they also got help from a large number of demon hunters. It is estimated that at least hundreds of demon hunters have joined them."
"Demon hunters? These damn bastards again. Last time they intervened in the war between countries and attacked politicians from various countries. Didn't they say Have you killed all the people in the Demon Hunter School?"
"Although we destroyed the Demon Hunter School, there are still many Demon Hunters everywhere, and some Demon Hunter Schools are hiding in remote places, and we can't get close to them."
"We should wipe out all those bastards!"
"Now these bastards have joined forces with the witches! Should we mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress them next?"
Watching everyone's discussion, King Demawi asked: "My general, how many people can we mobilize now?"
"Your Majesty, we now have 5,000 troops and 1,000 cavalry in our capital. If there is enough time, we can mobilize 10,000 soldiers and 3,000 cavalry."
"You should also prepare to withdraw troops! Those witches must be wiped out as soon as possible!"
