Chapter 52 We shall put them to trial
The surviving guards who followed Margaret into the treasure house all died.
However, several priests were waiting outside. When they saw Margaret come out, they all surrounded her.
Their expressions changed from worry to curiosity, because their godmother was smiling. Not her usual kind smile, but a genuine, heartfelt, irrepressible smile.
"Godmother, what has happened?" a priest asked.
Margaret did not answer.
She immediately led everyone back with her to the territory of the Church of Judgment.
Once she returned, she immediately ordered everyone to gather at the entrance of the territory.
Soon, thousands of people appeared.
She stood on the castle steps, praising God loudly.
Then, with a smug look on her face, she summoned the three angels from the military manual under everyone's watchful eyes.
Three angels flew out and landed behind her, their white wings gleaming golden in the sunset.
In the eyes of believers, this was a miracle.
Without a doubt!
They stared in disbelief, speechless.
Then, some people started to kneel down.
One, two, three... Soon, everyone knelt down.
Thousands of believers knelt in the square in front of the castle, their hands clasped together, looking up at the three angels.
Some people were crying, some were laughing, some were trembling, and some were reciting the Bible.
"miracle!"
"God bless the judgment church!"
"The godmother is God's messenger on earth!"
Margaret opened her arms, looked up at the sky, and enjoyed the moment of fervent worship.
"Godmother." At this moment, a priest stepped out from the crowd, knelt before her, and said devoutly, "That cemetery in the south is filled with the aura of death. Those skeletons, ghosts, and vampires are all things that God abhors. We tried to make them repent of their sins to God, but they refused. I believe that the Church of Judgment should purify them."
Other believers also began to echo this sentiment.
"Purify them!"
"Punish them!"
"God's enemies must die!"
Looking at those fanatical faces, Margaret's ego swelled to its limit.
Of course she knew the cemetery territory.
The Mexican gang was wiped out by them.
In her plan, she would eliminate the other party sooner or later.
Now, she believes her opportunity has arrived.
"God has sent down angels." Margaret's voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement, and everyone in the square could hear it: "They are sent to judge this world on His behalf. Those who blaspheme God, those who associate with demons and death, those who refuse to convert to the Church of Judgment—all of them deserve to die."
The believers chanted in unison, "They all deserve to die!"
"Tomorrow," Margaret's voice boomed, "tomorrow, I, the Godmother of the Church of Judgment, will lead angels to purify that cemetery. Let this city belong entirely to the Church of Judgment."
The cheers of the believers echoed throughout the territory.
The atmosphere reached its climax at this moment!
Margaret turned and walked into the castle, followed by the angels who went into the inner chambers.
She sat on the throne, opened the military manual, and looked at the troop types of the three angels.
Attack, defense, health, speed – this is the strongest unit she has ever seen. In addition, flight, high morale, and being the mortal enemy of demons are all characteristics of angels.
In short, it boils down to three words.
too strong!
Any one of them could sweep away everything. Back then, the Mexican gang only needed one angel to wipe out their opponents.
And now, she has three.
"Lord of the southern cemetery, no matter how strong you are, you are nothing before the angels!"
Margaret began to look forward to tomorrow's trial.
At that time, the entire city will belong to her.
......
Lin Mo also had a very fruitful day.
Because of the skeletal warhorse, he could explore a larger area due to its powerful mobility.
Currently, Lin Mo commands the largest and strongest military force.
Perhaps some people are incredibly lucky and can acquire some high-level units at this stage.
However, in Lin Mo's view, without sufficient numbers, powerful heroes to enhance offense and defense, and magical assistance, advanced units are just so-so.
Putting everything else aside, if a few level 7 units come now, they will definitely be no match for your own skeleton army.
"I'm in luck today. I actually found a 'Wisdom Stone' building." Lin Mo checked his attributes. Due to continuous battles and the experience points gained from the Wisdom Stone, he was directly upgraded to level 3.
[Tier 3 Lord Hero]
Attack 7, Defense 10, Strength 3, Knowledge 3
Once a lord hero reaches level 3, their "specialty" can be awakened.
Lin Mo's awakened special skill is [Defense Technique], which grants a +5% defense bonus per level.
To be honest, if his specialty were [Soul Summoning], it would obviously be more suitable for his current territory and the treasures he already possesses.
If we rank the various types of hero specialties according to S, A, B, C, and D, for a long time, [Defense] would only rank C among all specialties.
However, this special ability undergoes a qualitative change once the hero's level reaches a certain point, and it becomes even more powerful when combined with some special strategic treasures.
However, Lin Mo's randomly acquired special ability cannot immediately exert a very strong effect, but at least it has increased his defense to 10 points.
Our own troops are now more resilient.
Of course, he was also the first to raise the lord hero's level to level 3, and naturally received additional rewards.
Besides these, today's harvest also included various resources and the discovery of two 'lizard caves' where 'giant lizards' can be recruited.
To be honest, if it's just one lizard nest, its applicability is only so-so, but two are a different story. You have to know that 'lizards' are also a level 4 unit, and their daily production can reach 8.
That's quite terrifying.
If we accumulate enough experience over a few more days, it will definitely become a surprise weapon.
Because the monitor lizard has a special ability, just like Medusa, that can petrify enemies.
It can produce surprising effects in battle.
The only problem was that the two lizard nests were a bit far from his territory, more than five kilometers away.
"There are quite a few resource points over there. If we can get a second territory map, we'll establish a second territory there," Lin Mo thought to himself.
A little later, Santa, Genova, Hammer, and Daniel also returned.
Each of them gained something.
Lin Mo summoned them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a meeting.
Of these, Genova explored the farthest distance, covering more than twenty kilometers in one day in one direction.
She reaped quite a harvest, collecting 3000 units of gold coins, 500 units each of wood and stone ore. Not only that, she also occupied a centaur stable and recruited 14 centaur warriors.
"In that direction, others have also established territories. I scouted a newly established 'outpost' with a considerable number of people, so I didn't approach to investigate..." Genova reported while marking the location of the 'outpost' on the map.
"A stronghold twenty kilometers away?" Lin Mo looked at the direction and location on the map. The place was outside the city and very desolate, but the terrain was indeed suitable for establishing a territory like a 'stronghold'.
