Chapter 373: It’s better to provide icing on the cake than to provide help in times of need
"Witch??"

Seeing Joan of Arc coming out, the British Empire team that had been acting so domineering just now couldn't help but feel surprised and nervous.

Everyone knows that this world has supernatural powers.

usually.

The system of supernatural powers is divided into several categories of people.

First, it can be inherited through learning. For example, knights and magicians have the highest status. The reason is very simple. Anyone who can learn this kind of extraordinary knowledge, no matter whether he is a good person or a bad person, must be a smart person. A smart person is at least stable.

The second type is those favored by God, who rely on faith to gain strength. This type of people depends on what god you believe in. If it is a righteous god, there is no problem, but if it is an evil god, everyone will condemn them. After all, the various strange demands of the evil god are also a disaster for ordinary people.

The third is the bloodline inheritor, that is, the witch.

Yes, the most interesting thing about this world is that only women can naturally awaken extraordinary powers.

This kind of people are collectively called witches.

Witches are the least welcome, even those favored by evil gods are stronger than them.

The reason is also very simple.

Witches' abilities are most likely to go out of control because they lack a systematic inheritance and firm beliefs. This means that all witches are actually potential time bombs.

Once emotions fluctuate too much, there is a possibility of a massacre in which no one can distinguish between friend or foe.

This kind of thing has always happened in history.

Therefore, in this world, the Vatican has had a tradition of burning witches since the Middle Ages.

The above was all told to him by Li Zhongren’s heroic unit.

Li Zhongren did not ask any serf how he knew it. After all, everyone has his or her own secrets.

Right now, he and Samuro were hiding in the dark, quietly observing what the girl would do next.

Yes, Li Zhongren had said before that he wanted to unite all the people he could to deal with Britain.

So, on the one hand, he hid the army under his control, and on the other hand, he took Samuro and moved quickly around the Lorraine area.

Both of them can use the Wind Step, so their mobility is unquestionable.

Li Zhongren also has a map, so he can know if there is anyone within the sensing range and who they are just by walking over.

Then he found a marked neutral elite unit.

The girl with golden flames all over her body.

However, he did not approach rashly, but just observed secretly.

The reason is also very simple.

His system is good in every way. For those who are controlled by him, there is no possibility of betrayal until death.

Just like the hundreds of serf soldiers hidden in the dense forests.

Of course, now they have been transformed into elite infantry.

They obey orders and are able to fight to the last man without retreating, and their battle loss-free rate is as high as 100%.

However, the prerequisite is that the other party is willing.

He couldn't force it.

Therefore, he wanted this girl to join his team.

The prerequisite is to make the other party willing.

So, the probability of helping someone when they need it is naturally higher than adding icing on the cake.

"shot!!"

Li Zhongren's thoughts seemed long, but in fact they were just a moment.

The British soldiers on the opposite side were surprised for a moment, then immediately raised their steam guns.

This is a unique product in this world, a steam-driven firearm.

Don't think this thing is not powerful.

On the contrary, this thing is terrifyingly powerful.

why?

This was also based on the intelligence Samuro told him.

The power of these evaporation guns is water vapor, but where is the water?

The water is in the sink behind those guns.

However, the water tank is not big and does not have a high-temperature heating device, but it can continuously provide power to the steam gun and directly drive the projectile to launch.

Samuro didn't know what the root cause was, but Li Zhongren could guess it roughly.

That thing seems to be able to compress water?

If this is the case, then it would be truly black technology.

After all, everyone who has been to school knows that liquids are almost incompressible, which is why things like hydraulic presses exist.

Well, in other words, this world may seem backward, but some people's black technology is terrifying. They can even mass-produce compressed water devices.
"Chug tug tug."

as predicted.

Following the order from these soldiers.

Bullets rained down on the girl and the place where she was.

The power was so great that the surrounding trees were blown away and shattered.

Then, something happened that gave these British soldiers confidence.

The bullet hit the girl's body, first making a clinking sound of metal collision, and then being directly burned and melted by the golden flame. Finally, it gathered in the girl's hand and turned into a metal spear.

Then, the girl walked towards the soldiers step by step under the storm of bullets.

Finally, someone couldn't bear it anymore, dropped his gun, turned around and ran.

Then, the girl moved directly behind the man as if she had teleported, and raised her hand.

At this time, the spear pierced through the man's body and landed steadily in the girl's hand.

"Pfft!"

"Hu~~"

Taking a deep breath, the girl waved her hand, and the spear became like a knife. The two heads flew high into the sky, and the blood sprayed more than three meters high like a fountain, dyeing the leaves blood red. Under the reflection of the sun, it was so enchanting.

"what!"

"what!"

"what!"

The last person left was kicked by the girl and fell to the ground.

The spear went in and out of his body again and again.

Yes, that was how he tortured the woman.

Now, it's his turn.

It was so painful, so scary.

It's not that he doesn't have fear.

He just doesn't care about others.
"Hu~~"

The flames dissipated.

The girl turned into an ordinary person again, her body softened, and she knelt there.

It looked like a hellish scene.

She was also a little scared.

What I’m afraid of is not the scene itself.

But my ability is still too weak.

"Who?"

Suddenly, she raised her head and saw a man of similar age walking out from a distance, followed by an orc.

He was wearing armor and holding a strange long sword in his hand.

Full of oppression.

Especially the goose bumps that suddenly appeared told Joan of Arc that this orc was very powerful.

"I believe in the god of RTS."

Li Zhongren didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

"I am the spokesperson of our God on earth."

"If you are willing to believe in my God."

"My God will strengthen your power so that you can use your power freely, instead of being so powerless that you sit here paralyzed after killing a few ordinary soldiers."

"So, you saw everything?"

"Yes."

Li Zhongren nodded.

"While the woman was being tortured?" "Yes."

"Then why don't you come out?"

"Because I am a British. Or to be more precise, I was once a British serf. They captured me and used me as cannon fodder on the battlefield. However, God favored me, so I became a God-favored person."

"But this does not mean that I want to save the people of Franky Empire. I found you just to cooperate with you, that's all."

"cooperate?"

"Yes, our Lord is about justice, fairness, and openness. Believe in our Lord and you will gain strength. In addition to not betraying our Lord, you will keep your own thoughts. If you don't believe, you can ask him."

Li Zhongren pointed at Samuro.

"Yes, contractually, I cannot betray the God of RTS, but I still know who I am. My beliefs, my likes and dislikes have not changed."

Samuro spoke up.

"However, there is one thing I must explain in advance. If you cannot become a heroic unit like me, my Lord's spokesperson will have the ability to directly control your body."

"A so-called hero unit means that you have to have characteristics, that is, abilities like a witch."

Li Zhongren explained.

"As for those ordinary people, after they believe in my Lord, I can directly control their bodies, but for the heroic units, I can only give orders."

Jeanne nodded slightly.

Just now, she secretly absorbed some sunlight. This could not change the current situation, but it could give her a special ability, which was to identify lies.

You can choose not to say it, but she can tell whether every word you say is true or false.

Right now, these two people, so far, have been telling the truth.

"What if you let me die?"

Jeanne murmured for a long time before speaking.

If she had enough time, she wouldn't need the help of the God's Favored One.

But she didn't, and as the war between the two countries continued to escalate, it became difficult for her parents, younger brother, neighbors, and even compatriots to survive.

"First, why would I let you die?"

Li Zhongren spoke.

"What good will this do me? Any god needs to expand his or her faith. If you like to let your believers die, will anyone still believe in you?"

"Second, the power of our Lord is beyond your imagination. After you believe in our Lord, you can place your faith in him. Once your faith is strong enough, even if you die, our Lord can resurrect you."

"call"

Hearing this, Jeanne took a deep breath.

In this case, what else could she refuse?

"I am willing."

"Hero unit found, do you want to convert it?"

“Transformation.”

"Converting"

Joan of Arc felt as if she was suddenly floating in mid-air, and the sunlight seemed to be rushing into her body desperately.

A burning sensation, severe pain.

And, an indescribable pleasure, the pleasure of feeling as if you are getting stronger every moment.
"This is power."

After a long time, Joan of Arc opened her eyes, her golden hair floated in the sky against gravity, and her whole body also floated in the sky.

The sunlight no longer required her to work hard to absorb as before.

Instead, it is drilling into your body all the time.

I have changed from the inside out.

A tremendous strength.

Can fly directly.

Even your own breathing can cause a storm.

It also has its own eyes, which can directly gather sunlight and attack the enemy.
"Praise the RTS Gods"

Joan of Arc fell to the ground and half-knelt in front of Li Zhongren.

These were words that came from her heart.

Because she could feel that she was still herself, but she could not betray the God of RTS.

Other than that, there are no side effects.

If she had to worry about anything, it was that she was unable to feel the will, or the godhead, of the RTS God.

For example, the righteous gods they believed in before all had corresponding divinity, which was a goal that all believers had to strive for.

But the RTS God didn't have that.

"There is no need to be confused. Our Lord's divinity will be fully nurtured after he has two heroic units."

Li Zhongren seemed to see Jeanne's hesitation, so he spoke.

"Soon, my Lord's believers will be able to know my Lord's divinity."

"Praise..RTS God"

Once again, Joan of Arc was sure that the man in front of her was telling the truth, and the doubts in her heart dissipated. The new god was indeed like that. If this god was evil, then after destroying the invaders, she could just commit suicide. She had the autonomy to do so.

On the other side, Li Zhongren was secretly sighing in his heart.

Through the system panel, all of Joan of Arc's skills were revealed to him, including various abilities and techniques, including lie detection.

Fortunately, he didn't lie.

The last sentence is also true, but he didn't say it all. The God of RTS is indeed nurturing the godhood, but this godhood is designed by him himself.

First of all, it certainly cannot be an excuse for liberating all mankind.

Just now, he watched that innocent woman die.

To say so again would be a bit of self-deception.

And the word RTS has little to do with these?

It must also be appropriate.

So, what is the RTS God more relevant to?
The essence of RTS is real-time strategy game.

The meaning of appearing is to fight.

More like God of War.

But it is not the kind of war that supports war.

But I just like fighting.

It's a hobby that comes out of interest.

More like mercenaries.

It can also be said that the God of RTS itself has no stance, it just simply likes fighting.

But, it is exactly like this, so it is more like a tool, and the result will depend on the believer's hands. Now, he is the Pope, and he can only be the Pope in the future. Then, he can decide the godhood of the God of RTS.

First, fight.

Second, fight for yourself.

Therefore, he could ignore the tragic death of that woman, because he wanted revenge, so he had to wait until Joan of Arc showed signs of fatigue before he could come out.

Therefore, Joan of Arc can use her own strength to resist the invaders.

Therefore, the development model of future RTS cults is that the Pope will recruit soldiers and the heroes will lead them into battle.

He just needs to act as a toll booth for the spring water.

The heroes will find a way themselves.

Hehe, another mode of lying flat.

It's quite interesting too.
"Click~"

"Click~~"

Suddenly, Joan of Arc felt a shock, and she clearly felt the divinity from the God of RTS.

"Fight for yourself."

To be honest, she felt a little surprised, but also relieved.

At least, not an evil god.

"So, Your Excellency, the God-Favored One."

After a while, Joan of Arc half-knelt in front of Li Zhongren.

"I hope that when you convert a hero unit next time, you will allow me to distinguish between good and evil."

"My Lord is like a blank sheet of paper, neither good nor evil. If all those who come here are evil, then in the future, God's religion may become an evil religion."

"If all the people who come here are kind, then my Lord, maybe in the future he will be comparable to other righteous gods!"
