Chapter 609: Richard’s skills and subtle moves
After the Starry Sun, Solan City did not escape disaster just because it was located on the edge of the Death Desert.
The demon army coming from the abyss and attacking the city several times is the best explanation.
The huge casualties caused by those chaotic evil monsters cast a shadow over everyone.
In the oppressive, fearful, and suffocating environment, a rumor began to spread among the lower class civilians.
The reason the world has become so dangerous is that the gods have lost their authority.
They are in the desert of death, and what they need is the shelter of the desert!
If you can find the desert god who has descended into the mortal world, fall into his arms again, and become his loyal follower, then under the light of the god, everyone can live a stable and peaceful life again.
The most devout believers will also be given powerful power and eternal life.
It stands to reason that such preaching words that were circulated every day in the past were not eye-catching, but after several incidents, they completely changed the views of all residents.
Several residents who believed in gods were suddenly attacked by demons in the wild. When they were desperate, several people subconsciously shouted and praised the God of the Desert!
Then the demon stiffened and turned into gravel, and they were able to escape.
At first, many people just regarded this rumor as idle chatter, but no one believed it. But until one day, thousands of demons appeared in the largest square of Solan City and started killing people. The peaceful and peaceful streets turned into a bloody purgatory, with body parts and fragments covering the ground.
Thousands were killed outright.
At this critical moment, a six-year-old girl bravely stood up and shouted loudly to all the demons, praising the God of the Desert. My God will eliminate all evil!
The childish voice of the killing demon seemed to be possessed by powerful magic.
The body suddenly stiffened, and then, under the gaze of countless residents, it turned into gravel and scattered, and the square was covered with yellow sand in the blink of an eye.
What's even more exaggerated is that the yellow sand then turned into a stream of pure energy and poured into the injured residents, returning them to normal at an extremely fast speed.
This miraculous scene caused the rumors to spread at an extremely fast speed and attracted the attention of the entire Solan City.
Everyone is saying that this must be the God of the Desert protecting them from behind.
The god has come to Solan City and is only waiting for his most loyal believers to worship.
God will shine His light on believers to protect them from the invasion of demons.
After the news spread, the Desert Sect's influence skyrocketed instantly.
When facing the devil, countless residents loudly praised the desert god.
But some succeeded, and more failed.
In the end, to sum up, those who succeed are all devout believers, and most of those who fail do not believe in the God of the Desert.
This news gradually excited the residents on the ground floor, and the number of people going to the Desert God Church to pray began to increase at an exaggerated rate.
Although large-scale demons were blocked by the army outside the towering city walls, small groups of demons still inevitably appeared from time to time.
Therefore, it has become extremely important to enable people to have desert sects that can deal with dangers.
If a powerful outsider wants to obtain benefits, it will definitely offend the interests of vested interests.
The high-ranking nobles of Solan City became victims of having their interests violated, but in such a situation, they had to remain silent.
Even if they were on guard again and again, they did not dare to take any additional actions and could only observe the actions of the Desert Sect in secret.
If the God of the Desert really appeared in Solan City, it would definitely be a major shock to them.
No noble wants to be ruled by a superior god and does not want to be a dog! !
But what makes the nobles even more vigilant is that although it is a certainty that the God of the Desert has infiltrated Solan City, no matter how they probe, they have not been able to find any trace of him.
In addition, Grand Duke Solan was still in the royal capital of the Templar Empire at this time, assisting the new king in handling government affairs, which made this matter even more elusive.
An undercurrent is stirring.
While Solan City was in a tense state, Twilight City made new moves.
October 15th.
On the fifth day after the Grand Duke Frostwolf left the City of Twilight, the forces of the Frostwolf family officially announced their arrival in the El Plane.
At the same time, a piece of news spread throughout the main plane.
Qingqiu will establish a force composed of indigenous people in the El plane - the El Alliance.
All indigenous forces can apply to join.
Members of the El Alliance can freely enter the El plane to trade and station.
At the same time, the golden fruits that are only open to members of the El Players Association will also be open to members of the El Alliance.
When the news came out, it caused an exaggerated earthquake.
The original El plane was only open to players, which made many indigenous forces feel lucky.
Now that this policy comes out, it directly cuts off that luck. I don't know how many forces who also want to build a trading center are very cruel to Richard.
But there is more hostility than there is welcome.
On the day the news was announced, countless forces conveyed their willingness to join the El Alliance through various channels.
With the positive and successful example of the El Players Association, even indigenous people who are biased against players have to take it seriously.
With this move by Richard, the influence of Twilight City began to transcend the players and spread among the aborigines.
On October 20, for five days, the El Alliance finally finalized 8,000 forces as founders.
Among them, there are the royal family of the empire, independent lords, great nobles, large chambers of commerce, as well as ancient families and secret underground forces.
But without exception, all can be crowned with powerful prefixes.
The overall strength is much stronger than the players.
But no matter how powerful the force is, Richard's attitude remains always in the plane of El, and he must obey his arrangements.
In front of the title of God Killer, even the powerful imperial royal family must maintain enough respect, and no one dares to make mistakes.
Especially after the incident on October 22nd, all forces clearly realized how strong Richard was.
On that day, a level 30 demigod refused to obey the arrangement because of a trivial matter, and wanted to use his strength to convince the El Alliance to give in.
But the moment the opponent took action to kill the surrounding guards, a twisted and winding root fell from the sky, directly sucking the demigod into the void.
After just a few breaths, the demigod fell to the ground with only a broken body.
The whole process didn't even take 30 seconds.
The fierce posture made all the aboriginal forces feel awe-inspiring, and this was only part of the power possessed by the other party.
How terrifying is it hidden under the iceberg? !
Many forces that originally had other ideas have become honest.
The deterrence of the top power, the influence of the God Killer's reputation, and the temptation of interests from the El plane. The El Alliance was quickly formed at a speed that was staggering to the outside world.
On October 25, Richard visited the El plane in person, and in front of 8,000 representatives of the El Alliance, during the player's live broadcast, he solemnly announced that the El Alliance was officially established.
The city it is located in is another well-known giant city in the plane of El - Lion City.
This is the city where Richard won the El Plane from the Angry Blood Archduke and killed the Lord of Greed.
At the same time, it is also extremely close to the cracks in the Corrupt Swamp and the space passage left by the Eternal Land.
Looking at the heroic figure on the screen, and then looking at the representatives of the major forces sitting quietly below.
Players who watched the live broadcast clearly realized how terrifying Richard's power was.
To be able to let so many big bosses sit quietly below and become the master yourself is something that no player can even dream of.
But at this moment, Qingqiu did it.
This scene has become an indelible memory in the hearts of countless players.
Richard's reputation also experienced another surge after the establishment of the El Alliance.
Not only has he gained recognition among players, he has also become a well-deserved top boss in the hearts of aborigines.
After the location of the alliance was selected, those forces that joined the El Alliance immediately began to settle in.
Because of the war, only more than half a million people remained in this city that could accommodate millions of people.
A large swath of Borderlands appeared.
After those forces settled in, the city was instantly revitalized.
At the same time, the two-way teleportation array connecting the El plane began to be built by the major indigenous forces.
The plane of El, which was originally able to connect all parts of the main plane, has its radiation range increased again.
Players and aborigines, these two forces have been attracted to a large part by the El Players Association and the El Alliance.
Quietly, the influence of Twilight City has once again increased.
The advantage of being famous is that it can attract more people's attention and even dependence, but the disadvantage is that the power hidden in the dark is already ready to move.
Solan City.
After the spread of the Desert Sect for more than half a month, coupled with the fear caused by the appearance of demons from time to time, a large number of people at the bottom of Solan City, a super giant city with a population of tens of millions, became followers of the Desert Sect.
Although the degree of piety is open to question, judging from this momentum, it may not be long before the city will be completely controlled by the Desert Sect.
But what frightened those great nobles was that the God of the Desert, who was hiding in the dark, never appeared, as if there was no such person.
This allowed them to carefully restrict the Desert Sect and not dare to make any big moves.
The gods have actually appeared on the main plane. Even if they have been deprived of their authority, their own power is far beyond the imagination of mortals.
No one wants to anger a god.
Violet Chamber of Commerce.
Weir frowned and looked at the figure kneeling in front of him with his head lowered and covered by a black cloak, and said slowly.
"Still no news?"
"Sir, the bishops of the Desert Sect are all under our surveillance, but no one has shown anything strange."
"What we hear most is that the god of the desert will give oracles to them in their dreams."
Weir's face looked a little ugly.
The desert god was far more cunning than she expected.
With such great momentum, the other party did not reveal any trace, and even contacted the administrators of the sect through dreams.
This method made it impossible for her to investigate even if she wanted to.
"Is there anything the ANBU can do?"
The figure shrouded in a hood still did not raise his head.
"Sir, we have analyzed and judged that unless the Desert Sect develops to a certain extent, the other party will never appear."
"Currently, if we want to reveal the other party as quickly as possible, we are indulging the development of the Desert Sect."
Veer narrowed her eyes slightly.
indulgence?
These two words are light and airy, but no one dares to ignore the price behind them.
Indulging the gods is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger. Who dares to despise those beings who once controlled the entire world? !
Just when she hesitated.
Flutter~ A sound of flapping wings sounded.
After a while, two tall and strong stone statues of the dead stepped into the house.
One of them knelt on one knee in front of Weir.
"President, the master has sent a secret message."
Weier reached out and took it. After carefully making sure that several key points had not been damaged, she used a special method to open the sealed secret letter and examined it carefully.
After a moment, his expression became a little subtle, and then he began to think about it carefully, and finally showed some surprise and surprise.
After putting the secret message away, he took it directly to the side and burned it to ashes with a magic lamp. He also poured the ashes into the bucket below to make it disappear completely.
After doing all this, he waved his hand to let the two stone statues of the dead leave temporarily, and then looked at the mysterious figure who was still kneeling on the ground with one knee, without raising his head from the beginning to the end.
"Pass my order. From now on, the Violet Chamber of Commerce will use all channels to help the Desert Sect spread its faith."
"In addition, the Anbu has temporarily withdrawn from lurking and will no longer monitor the Desert Sect."
"At the same time, go to the Desert Sect to hand over my invitation and inform the Bishop of the Desert Sect that the Violet Chamber of Commerce will be their staunch supporter! And will assist their development."
Weir said with a somewhat mysterious expression on her face.
"If the other party asks the reason, tell them that it is all because our master is a devout believer in the Desert Sect."
The mysterious figure kneeling behind him said with some hesitation.
"Sir, will being so direct reveal our intentions?"
Veer smiled.
"Exposed? No, we are believers in the desert. As for the god of the desert we believe in, that is another story."
"Are we going to pretend to be believers?"
"No, it's not pretending, but we are the orthodox ones!"
"The current master of the Desert Sect is our master!"
"How does that rat hiding in the dark deserve to be the ruler of the Desert Cult?!"
At this point, the tone became more subtle.
"Moreover, why does the desert god who has lost his authority declare himself a god in front of a real god with authority?"
These words made the mysterious cloaked man tremble, and he raised his head suddenly, his eyes hidden in the darkness showing strong shock.
"You mean to let the master directly occupy the Desert Sect?!!!"
In this way, no matter how the Desert Sect develops, isn't it just a wedding dress for the Twilight City?
But is this possible?
The mysterious man in the cloak who didn't know any more information was surprised, but Weier didn't have the slightest doubt.
Because the most subtle thing about this plan is that the Desert God has lost his authority at this moment, and Richard still controls 15% of the authority.
Although it is sealed, authority is authority, and authority cannot be disobeyed!
What's even more interesting is that if the other party dares to stand up and appear in the public eye, he will become the prey of Twilight City.
If the God of the Desert does not come out, then the entire Desert Sect will become the spoils of Twilight City. (End of chapter)
