Chapter 314 Mother God Cult Missionary: Don’t Believe in Cult Power

The undead tauren have turned back into peaceful corpses.

The undead in this world are not perpetual motion machines.

This Minotaur Undead was not summoned properly, so it is amazing that it can persist in resurrection for such a long time.

The undead can move either by relying on materials such as the Scourge Orb as a source of power, or by being blessed by the god the Scourge Apostle himself.

Or, can you burn your soul as motivation?

Rand didn't know whether it was possible to burn souls as power, but he knew very well how the first two worked.

The results of the investigation came out quickly.

Several people who had secretly hidden the Orbs of Natural Disaster were found in Xinyue Territory.

Because of the existence of the haunted iron mine in Crescent Territory, the villagers and soldiers in Crescent Territory are the ones who have seen the most undead.

Rand himself was of course well aware that becoming an undead would only be torture. Perhaps only a being like the Bishop of the Scourge, who became an undead, could truly retain the will he had when he was alive.

Otherwise, even a high-level undead like a Death Knight would inevitably be filled with hatred for life and his soul would be tortured.

In short, becoming an undead is definitely not a good choice, and without energy replenishment and the favor of the Scourge Apostles, you will soon die.

If the Scourge had not tried to summon the gods, there would not have been the tide of undead now ravaging the Southern Kingdoms.

If the final outcome of the tide of the undead is the same as the plot of the original Deep Moon game, it should be to build a city of the undead in the north.

But now the tide of the undead has gone to the south, and Rand always feels that the strength of the tide of the undead is not very good. Perhaps if the countries in the south can work together, temporarily put aside their prejudices and hatreds, and cooperate, they can put out the tide of the undead.

But it's impossible if you think about it.

Rand interrogated the soldier who had hidden the Scourge Orb.

It is normal for traitors to appear, even if Rand thinks he has done a good job in ideological work.

Rand had been negligent in this regard before.

After interrogation, it was revealed that they believed this thing would allow them to continue fighting even if they died.

Fighting for Rand, fighting for the land that they wanted to protect, which was gradually becoming prosperous.

Rand was silent after hearing the results of the interrogation.

The Tauren missionary, who has now turned into a skeleton, may have originally thought that even after death, he could become an undead and take revenge on those paladin massacres.

Maybe it would really work, as the undead are creatures full of hatred.

Rand didn't want this to happen.

If revenge is really necessary, then he, Rand, the master of this land, will lead his army to avenge his people.

In this situation, it was difficult for Rand to decide how to punish the soldiers who had secretly hidden the Scourge Orbs.

Rand interrogated each person individually, and he was very sure that they did not say such things in order to escape guilt.

After all, when they were arrested, Rand did not give them time to cross-examine their statements.

Punishment was necessary, but Rand did not want to be too harsh.

"Have you ever encountered this situation before?" Rand asked Karin.

Karin said: "Don't ask me, if I were good at these, the Torch Church wouldn't be like this now."

In fact, Rand thinks Karin is okay. The Torch Church must have become like this as a result of years of alienation.

Karin has only been in power as a saint for a few years.

When she came to power, the problems of the Torch Church were already quite difficult to deal with.

If we don't catch the cult leader of Nurturing Blood, or if we catch him and then release him immediately, we will be harming ourselves by nurturing an enemy.

Then she would lose the support of the Torch Church Novices.

However, if the leader of the cult of Nurturing Blood is really caught and brought to justice, donations from various countries in the world will cease.

Although the Torch Church has businesses all over the world, it will still have financial problems if it loses donations.

Even if she launched a purge, it would certainly not be very effective, because she would need to kill people throughout the holy city and make rivers of blood flow in order to maintain the purity of the Torch Church.

That would mean that the Torch Church would have directly erupted into civil war, and would not have delayed the subsequent split.

Rand actually felt that Karin had always been doing practical things, and changing a leader might not necessarily do better than Karin.

The issue was finally resolved at a meeting.

After consulting with Ellie and Lysa, two high-ranking officials who had served as administrators, Rand's punishment for the soldiers who had secretly kept the Orbs of Scourge was to suspend them from duty for two years, issue a public criticism, and cancel all benefits and honors.

If you go against the will of Lord Rand, you must be punished.

And it must be severe enough to make people realize the seriousness of the matter. Even if their purpose is not to fight, and Rand forgives them, hanging them directly is the choice that most lords will make.

However, Rand still gave them some opportunities. In the next two years, they would be arranged to serve as supervisors in the labor camps to supervise the work of the people in the labor camps.

After the two-year period is over and the assessment is passed, you will be qualified to become a Rand soldier again.

Also, Rand discovered a problem that had been ignored.

Although Rand continued to spread the belief in the Mother Goddess in the territory and surrounding areas, he did not do much to eliminate the beliefs of other cults.

It now seems that missionaries need to simultaneously spread the message that people should not believe in cults.

This is a relatively troublesome task, but it must be vigorously promoted!

In his territory, there are people who actually believe that they can retain their sanity and continue to fight after becoming undead! Although the Minotaur Undead is indeed very strange, its thoughts before death actually have an impact on its body after becoming an undead, and it is actually only hostile to the Torch Church.

But Rand believed that this Minotaur Undead would be an isolated case, and he did not want his people to become undead and continue fighting.

In short, it must be publicized that becoming a ghost will only turn you into an unconscious ghost full of hatred for the living, and can only exist for a short time.

There is also the God of Struggle Sect, and it is estimated that some of them have secretly hoarded the Ruby Orb. If they hand it over now, they can get a lighter punishment.

If a small amount of the Rose-Red Orb is used, it can be transformed back, but it is unknown how much impact turning into that kind of monster will have on sanity.

The blood of nourishment has little impact on the territory of the Frost Moon Kingdom, and it has been cleansed, so just a little attention is needed.

There are other evil cults on the continent, but they have basically been destroyed by the Torch Church. They may have a chance to revive in the future, but for now, they cannot affect Rand's territory.

While carrying out anti-cult propaganda, Rand also needs to strengthen the propaganda efforts of the Mother Goddess Sect.

Emphasize the theological status and faith significance of the Mother Goddess.

…

The North.

Summer in the north is one of the few times when it is not so cold.

In the summers of the past, the orcs in the north would begin to become increasingly active.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

For example, hunting to prepare food for looting in the south in autumn.

But this summer, some of them have crossed the northern defense line and entered the borders of some member states of the Northern Union.

The defense line was not completely breached, but because some member states of the Northern Alliance only pretended to make some efforts, some sections of the defense line lacked sufficient soldiers to guard them.

For example, the Principality of Cuiying and the Kingdom of Zither, these two countries only symbolically contributed some supplies and troops in accordance with the alliance.

They have been blacklisted by the Northern United Nations.

But now, the northern united countries have no time to care about these two foolish countries that intend to stay in a corner.

The defense sections guarded by soldiers are still functional, preventing the orcs from launching a large-scale, comprehensive invasion.

However, they were unable to recapture those sections of the defense line that were captured by the orcs.

In fact, along a long line of defense, as long as one castle does not fall, it can have an impact on a large area around it.

Because if a large army of orcs wanted to pass by, they would have to consider the possibility that the knights in the castle would come out and attack them at any time.

That's what a castle is.

But this way it can't be completely blocked.

The White King is convening his ministers to discuss matters in the White Kingdom's palace.

The White Kingdom is relatively northern among the countries in the Northern United Nations.

When the Ice Sea Kingdom was conquered, the northernmost countries began to be influenced by the orcs.

Now it’s the White Country’s turn.

Orcs have been discovered within the White Kingdom.

The atmosphere in the palace was solemn.

In the past, such meetings would always be interspersed with small episodes for the White King to find women.

But now it's finally over. Although the ministers are still worried about the White King's marriage and have some objections to Prince Ellie's situation, none of these are as urgent as the imminent orc problem.

The White King rested his elbows on the armrests of the throne, his chin resting on the back of his hands.

She really hopes not to be pressured into getting married, but she doesn't want it to be because of the orcs.

"What types of orc troops have been discovered so far?" The voice of the White King echoed in the palace.

"Orc infantry, trolls, wolf riders, and harpies." The minister in charge of military affairs replied.

The combat effectiveness of the orc army can be basically determined from the composition of their forces.

A single orc army is basically composed of miscellaneous soldiers.

The combat effectiveness of a composite orc army like this cannot be underestimated.

This is still the normal situation.

We must be more cautious now, because many battle reports from the front lines have shown that the orcs must have made some kind of deal with Purgatory and gained some power.

Otherwise, even if they came out in full force, it would be impossible for them to invade the territory of the White Country at such a speed.

"Order all parts of the country to be on alert." The White King ordered.

“Tell the local lords to evacuate their people to castles or towns, and make sure no people or food are left behind.” The White King looked outside the palace.

In fact, the White King had sent a letter to Rand to discuss the military route.

By clearing the countryside and not allowing the orcs too many ways to obtain food, the orcs' mobility can be greatly weakened.

The orcs themselves certainly don't have much food.

It is unlikely that they could carry much baggage on the way when rushing through the defense line.

As long as they are not given the opportunity to obtain food, there is a high probability that the orcs will retreat or look for other targets.
