above the sky

Chapter 691 The answer is, pledge allegiance! (5600)

The troops of the imperial mountain people lined up quietly in the muddy position, and on the other side is the ice road that has not melted for a long time in the heavy rain. The cold frost wind swept through the camp in December, and a large number of dejected rebel mountain people Is being escorted away to be guarded in the Frodo Borough.

Then, with a burst of dragon chants, Elder Manya fell from the sky. His heart light body was dispelling the clouds and rain in the sky to make the weather better. There were already rays of sunlight projecting down from the gaps in the clouds, forming a line between the sky and the earth. The Tao is like a physical staircase of light.

Ian stood in front of the rebellious mountain people's command tent, the chiefs and priests of the imperial mountain people's side stood beside him, and the group of people in front of him were the leaders of the rebellious mountain people.

These old acquaintances or old enemies looked at each other without saying a word.

The winner has no energy to pay attention to the thoughts of the loser, but looks at the silent Ian with a delicate and nervous expression, and the loser naturally does not pay attention to those insignificant people, but holds his breath and waits for the real person in charge sentencing to them.

But Ian remained silent, silently looking at everyone.When those silver-blue eyes stared at anyone present with an indifferent expression, the people who were watched would lower their eyes subconsciously, not daring to look at the young Lord of the Holy Land.

——It seems that this group of people is not willing to admit the envoy of the Dragon God, but they dare not reveal this to Ian.

The arrival of Man Ya solved this embarrassing situation. The old man took a look at the situation in the camp and knew what was going on.

No matter which mountain tribe's leader it is, who wants to have another person in charge on his head?The empire gave them autonomy. Even the mountain people of the empire are only because they are more afraid of the empire's future liquidation. It is almost impossible for them to accept from the bottom of their hearts that Ian is the messenger of the dragon god Task.

The good thing is that most of the time, people don't need to be willing to accept something.

Elder Manya stepped forward, looked at Ke De's head, which was frozen by Ian with an icicle, and said with emotion: "Ke De is also my old opponent. I didn't expect that there would be no final confrontation between the two of us. He just like this Died suddenly."

"After all, Xiou helped." Ian smiled. He sat on the ice-cast seat leisurely, and said calmly: "I don't take credit for this. Watching Ke De fight fiercely with Xio, he took the opportunity to cut off his head."

"This is already incredible." Elder Manya said with emotion: "You just entered the second energy level, and you can find opportunities in the battle of the third energy level... I am old, and the world will still depend on you guys after all. Young people."

The true body of Xiou, who was crouching in the tent beside him, couldn't help raising his head after hearing Ian's communication with Elder Manya, his big long eyes were full of doubts—even though Ian had already met with him on the way to the Frodo Autonomous Region. He checked the lines, but seeing that Ian could really tell such a lie without changing his face, he was still a little confused.

——Why can he tell lies better than tell the truth?

Of course, there are very few human beings who can understand the expression of dragons. Xiou's raising his head is obviously an obvious "platform" for the king of the mountain to the other mountain leaders present.

In the past, as a member of the Dragon Worship Cult and the dispatcher of Dragon Island, the King of the Mountain basically did not interfere with the actions of the mountain people as a true dragon, but only ruled over the powerful monsters in the Baisen Mountain Range, so he called himself "Mountain The king of the mountain does not touch the authority of Baisen Dragon God, and the mountain people also reciprocate, willing to recognize the identity of the king of the mountain Baisen as the king of monsters.

But now, the mountain people are in a state of chaos, and the Afud tribe has the upper hand... Even the king of the mountain must choose his spokesperson among the mountain people, right?

Among the defeated mountain tribe, a chief raised his head slightly. He noticed the movement of the real dragon and heard the conversation between Ian and Man Ya, so he instinctively wanted to know what was going on.

Then, he looked at Ian.

The eyes of this self-proclaimed envoy of the Dragon God are light blue, the color of the streams and rivers flowing in the Nanling Mountains, just like the blue sky in the sky, and the light flow of inscriptions visible to the naked eye flows on his long hair, which originated from the dragon's organ The cyan source quality spread from his left hand to his whole body, and finally gathered on this long silver-white hair with a steel color, accumulating incredible power.

The steel pattern sword on his waist was not sealed into the scabbard, but covered by a layer of solid ice, with maroon blood stains on it, which must be the blood of Chief Ke De, giving people a sense of austerity.

And next, whose head will this sword behead?
— Could it be... me? !
The light blue eyes stared intriguingly at the chief who began to tremble subconsciously, making him tremble subconsciously.

But at this moment, for some reason, the thoughts in the mountain chief's mind were extremely quick and agile, far better than in the past. He regarded it as an explosion when he was in danger, and quickly figured out one thing.

No matter what the result is, Ian will definitely kill a few people to stand up. This is the tradition of Nanling, and it is also the tradition of Terra. Without the oppression of blood and death, war is doomed to be imperfect, not to mention the purpose of this young man Is to become the 'Dragon God Messenger'?The real problem is that Ian will never kill them losers, because he still needs them as models to promote his generosity so that he can merge and integrate other tribes in the future.

So, what should I do to survive—to survive the hands of the lord who is bound to kill people?

He came up with the answer almost instantly.

"Messenger of the Dragon God! Please forgive my disrespect and offense!"

With a plop, the chief fell to the ground in an instant, almost lying in the muddy water to swear allegiance to Ian: "I, Bua Baishan from the Baishan Department, swear to follow in the footsteps of the envoy forever! Your order is the will of the Dragon God, Your intention is my direction!"

"Forgive me, Messenger, I have gone astray by mistake, and I am against you because of the bewitching of traitors and the coercion of evil ones, but my belief in Dragon God is absolutely firm! I swear, as long as my people know, they will Those who are against them are the envoys of the Dragon God, and they will definitely cry bitterly and repent of this huge mistake like me!"

He even used the honorifics used in temple prayers.

"Ah."

Facing the chief's inspirational declaration of allegiance, Ian responded indifferently, and then looked around at the other prisoners present: "Is there anyone else?"

Glanced by this pair of blue eyes, and Manya and Xiou behind him also cast their gazes, many captured chiefs immediately imitated the example, and they bent down and knelt down without hesitation, Make the same oath as the previous chief.

Apparently, the 'Perception Potion' that improves thinking sharpness and imagination also has miraculous effects at critical moments, and it will not give people an instinctive sense of rejection like the 'Fear Potion', and the inspiration it catalyzes is closer to people's real thoughts.This is Ian's conclusion after using many different medicines to observe people's reactions.

As long as you can control the direction of people's inspiration, it is easier for people to believe that your decision is 'correct' than fear and joy.This is Ian's experience as a potion alchemist.

"Very good. It seems that you know very well who won this war."

One after another, Ian didn't say much in the voice of allegiance that others thought was more contemptible than surrender.

He just glanced around at the stiff and bewildered leaders of the mountain people on both sides of him, smiled meaningfully, and then led Elder Manya into the camp.

Only those rebel mountain people leaders who breathed a sigh of relief, like the rest of their lives, stayed where they were, while the imperial mountain people leaders, who were theoretically the 'winners', looked at each other in a bewildered look.

"Don't scare them. These people are actually very staunch supporters of the empire. Without their help, the mountain people's rebellion would have swept across the entire Nanling."

After entering the camp, Elder Manya shook his head with a smile, while Ian sighed exaggeratedly: "How can I not be scared? Look at the way they were beaming before, as if they had won—in fact, if it wasn't for me and Xiou Killed Ke De, and stopped the steel pterosaur hunting team, they must die this time, no doubt good."

"Of course, it's just a scare. I just hope they can find out who is the one who keeps his word. Otherwise, they will make some tricks behind my back and kill people. I don't want to go out every day and not be able to appreciate the singing of birds and flowers in Nanling, but It was Rijen who cut off the head of one of his own people."

"Don't worry, I will help you discipline these guys."

Elder Manya nodded. This is what he wanted to do. To assist Ian to become the envoy of the dragon god in name and in reality was exactly the goal he set for himself after the sacrificial fire rekindled in Qigang Mountain.

Thinking of the Holy Land, the old man asked curiously: "What happened to the Steel Dragon's Nest? Ian, if you really restarted the Steel Dragon's Nest... then the situation on the Frodo Autonomous Region doesn't matter at all. Go to the Holy Land first, these chiefs and priests will have time in the future, and they can discipline them if they want to."

"Don't worry. I just activated the outermost energy collection system, and the inner core inheritance, test area and dormant area have not been moved."

Ian shook his head: "It's just warming up, and it hasn't restarted yet. But I didn't expect that the warming up of Steel Dragon Nest would be so loud... It seems that Dragon God really left us a lot of good things, but it's a pity , no one has been able to use it for so many years, otherwise, the empire should not be able to conquer Nanling so easily, at most it would be a vassal."

"That is no different from being conquered. In my opinion, it is better to be conquered. At least the empire does not have racial discrimination, and the vassals are really inferior."

Elder Manya sighed: "What should those rebellious mountain people do? Although they profess their allegiance, it's hard to say what they think in their hearts. Even if they are afraid of death, you are indeed too young to calm everyone down."

"It's very simple." Ian said calmly: "I will carry out a purge."

"A major purge."

"……what is that?"

Elder Manya was taken aback for a moment. In Terra language, this word was still unfamiliar, but soon he understood what Ian meant, and his expression became serious: "Wait, you mean..."

"Yes." Ian said cruel and unusual words in a rather refreshing tone: "These people's tribes will be monitored by me, catching wind and shadows, high-pressure control or terrorism, in short, this kind of thing .I'll do it."

"No matter what they think in their hearts, they absolutely cannot oppose me on the surface. The mountain people can only follow the envoy of the Dragon God. If they don't want to follow me, I will let them go to see the Dragon God."

"Is it necessary...I mean...such a high pressure requires a lot of people?"

Elder Manya frowned slightly. He didn't think Ian was serious about murder—in fact, for Taila, it was just a big purge, who wouldn't do it?The aristocrats of the sublimation may directly divert the mountains and rivers for the convenience of transportation, and those villages that do not want to move are directly under the mountains. They don't care what these people think. After all, they have been reminded in advance, which is considered to be kind.

Ian just doesn't want noises to appear in his sphere of influence. Of course, it's not difficult. To be honest, killing all the opponents will make it easier for them, the mountain people who unite around Ian, to develop. After all, now... After the war, the flesh must be divided, right?Where the meat came from is another question.

His only worry is that if Ian wants to carry out a major purge, he will definitely need a lot of people to suppress it. When the time comes, these rebellious mountain people will rebel again, which will delay the time for these mountain people to recuperate.

"It won't last long. When most people can eat enough and eat meat, even the most stubborn independent mountain people will understand that it is a stupid idea to resist me. But before that, any difference All voices must be stifled, and I need to establish absolute authority that cannot be questioned."

Ian picked up the map of the camp, and he drew a circle around the Midra Autonomous Region: "The other autonomous regions can slow down, and the tribes in the Midra Autonomous Region must be strictly punished. Moreover, it is not necessary to kill people, even if you Feels like too much population, but for me, population is always an important asset.”

"In the future, we need a hard labor camp for high-intensity infrastructure construction, and many technologies require experimental materials."

Facing the silent Elder Manya, Ian, who showed his 'true' side, smiled: "Don't worry, I know this is evil, and it can even be said to be cruel. But experiments are always needed, more than It is better to use your own people, and use these people who have made mistakes."

"You don't have to tell me." Elder Man Ya shook his head: "This will make me very uncomfortable."

"I think it's better to make it clear." Ian tilted his head and said, "This kind of thing will cause problems if you hide it. I need you to do evil things with me, so that we can be better partners."

"What's more." He turned his head and continued to look at the map: "Experiments don't necessarily kill people. I will try most of the technologies on myself, and then use other people to test the universality—don't think I'm doing this. Is it good intentions or conscience, but it is more direct to test and feedback on yourself, why do you think my strength has advanced so quickly?"

——Of course it’s because of the vision horizon!Without waiting for Elder Manya's answer, Ian complained to himself. In fact, this is really not a good intention, but because he has a foreseeing vision, he doesn't need any dangerous experimental subjects at all.

What Ian really needs is to determine whether the technology he has developed can be popularized. After all, he is really a bit too genius. Can ordinary people adapt to these "easy and simple technologies that I think are no problem" like him?Ian still didn't dare to guarantee this point.

In this regard, Ian is quite self-aware.

"Ugh……"

Elder Manya sighed with a complex expression: "I just now understand...it doesn't matter about the name of the envoy of the Dragon God, Ian, no matter what path you take, what name and mask you choose, you will achieve what you are today."

"I believe in you. You will not lead the mountain people astray." He said simply: "Then what should we do next?"

"The most important thing now is actually the Construct Knight."

Ian raised his hand and drew a circle on the northeast side of the Odor colony: "The base of Flameland in South Ridge is located here, at least the magnetic storm armor exploded here, we must immediately send a team to Investigate there, if the Flame Land is still there, report it to Nauman City and ask them to clear it, if it has disappeared, try to collect clues."

"But in the end, we must be prepared to face the attack of the Construct Knight."

"Constructed knight?!" Hearing this, Elder Manya was startled. In fact, the only people who knew the news were the chiefs of the big tribe headed by Ke De, and Chief Aurei of the Ronggang Department hadn't passed this news to him. The news told everyone except the Marquis of Barton: "There are Constructed Knights in Nanling in Feiyandi?!"

Only Ian knew about this matter through Ke De's diary - the chief has obviously been under a lot of pressure recently, with too many secrets and responsibilities on his shoulders, and there is no one to confide in. Relieve yourself to vent stress.

"This is not a small problem to be ignored, Ian!"

He stepped forward, stood by Ian's side, and said eagerly: "If Flameland really sends a squad of construct knights, then we must be careful of these thugs!"

"Except for the fact that the Avod tribe may block the constructed knight because of my existence and relying on the holy mountain, other tribes will only be completely crushed by them!"

"I know." Facing the map, Ian closed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

When he opened it again, the boy's eyes flickered, and he said calmly, "So, we must find a way to deal with them——if Feiyan's special forces are going to catch them all, then their actions will definitely be very fast."

"It can even be said that they have already started planning this final counterattack."

This is indeed a big problem.

Apparently, after the Feiyan special forces were blasted at the base and the rebel mountain people were also defeated, they could basically declare that all their operations in Nanling had completely failed. responsibility.

Before that, just how insane things they would do... Just look at the history books to know.

——Things that we cannot get have no meaning in the world.

The famous words from the first generation of Nemathus King of Feiyan Land can basically represent their thinking.

"Don't worry too much, even if the Constructed Knights want to make a surprise attack, they will definitely only attack the two holy places, Qigang Mountain or Xiahui Lake, and prove their determination by destroying the holy place - the steel dragon's nest is too big, It's too close to the King of the Mountain, and the Steel Winged Dragon King may not be able to protect them."

Under the watchful eyes of Elder Manya, Ian once again drew two small circles on the map: "The Xiahui collar must be a secondary choice, because it is too close to Nauman City, and the Cangyun Knights stationed around must have already died. dispatched, they dare not take risks."

"So, I believe that if the Constructed Knights are dispatched, their purpose must be to destroy the Sacred Steel Mountain."

Ian's words are extremely firm, and he naturally has the ability to be convincing.

This is a matter of course, after all, he is a prophet, how could he not even predict where the enemy will attack.

"Then what should we do?" Elder Manya frowned, he had been thinking about this question ever since he knew about the existence of Constructed Knights: "If they really start to charge, even Xiou and I will never be able to stop them head-on Those terrifying steel giants...even if they can be blocked, the holy mountain will definitely be impacted."

"Of course it depends on the holy mountain itself."

Ian said softly, he raised his hand, and the moisture in the air swirled and condensed in his palm, forming an ice sculpture image of the Sacred Steel Mountain: "Elder, don't you think that the Holy Mountain can only be used as a healing device?"

In addition, it can be vaguely seen that on the top of this holy mountain, there is a tall tower being built. It gathers the energy provided by the holy mountain's energy supply system and turns it into a... that can guide all people in the world. Thunder's fearsome weapon.

The young man smiled and held up the model of the holy mountain and the tower, and showed it to Elder Manya who slowly opened his eyes wide: "It can also be used as a weapon."

"A super-giant magnetic storm coil."
