"Your Majesty, Zerima's side has sent troops."

Noyce informed Balliard of the news from the scouts. Although Balliard was the commander-in-chief of this army, Balliard did not want to manage this army at all, so that all arrangements related to this army were not arranged.

Instructions are issued and executed by Noyce.

"Sending troops? They actually dare to send troops? They are quite capable."

Balliard touched his exclusive storage space, and suddenly remembered that his Seraph Embrace had been taken away by Kyle, and he didn't know when it would be returned to him. Otherwise, he could rely on that

The nature of Seraph's Embrace created by the "sun", in this dark night, evokes the shadow of the sun and illuminates the dark night sky.

Showing his holiness in front of people like this will mess up the enemy's military morale. When the time comes, he will be able to kill more easily... No, he doesn't have to kill so many people. Population is a precious resource in this desert. Don't look at Zerima.

There were so many people that it could no longer be accommodated. It was necessary to build settlements for poor people outside the city to accommodate such a large population.

In fact, there are only one-third of the locals in Zerima City. Most of them were captured from the shores of the Kohali River by the army dispatched by the marquis here. There is no room for so many people, and they want to capture more.

More people, because population means strength, but once the number of people in Zerima increases, the interests of these people will be damaged.

Therefore, even though Roen's order was to capture the scavengers alive and bring them back to work as coolies, the city guards also killed those scavengers.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? Do we need the general to lead the charge?"

Noyce's fighting spirit was very high, and the eyes of the soldiers behind him lit up after hearing these words.

"Charge? You don't even look at how much you weigh,"

Valliard slapped Noyce on the head, knocking Noyce's helmet off again.

"Tell me, how many troops did they send out?"

"Five...no, a thousand people, we can do it, Your Majesty."

Noyce suddenly thought and lied about the military situation. However, the scout probably understood his thoughts. They joined the army to protect His Majesty and shed their blood for the glory of the empire. Previously, His Majesty killed three people with one person.

The tens of thousands of troops have already brought shame on the faces of these soldiers. Now, the enemy has sent troops, how can they let His Majesty go first?

"Huh, a thousand people... are you sure?"

Even in this world where extraordinary beings do not exist, the night cannot block Balliard's eyes. He knew at a glance that the number of soldiers coming out of Zerima was definitely more than a thousand, four or five times more likely. However, these

People are asking for war, and he can't help but agree, because, these people's will is affecting him.

"Just one death!"

Noyce put on his helmet, looked serious, and looked at death as if he were dead. Then he was slapped by Valliard and almost fell to the ground.

"Death? You are Gu's army. Without Gu's will, all those who die without permission are sinners. Go ahead and survive."

Letting these 600 men attack the 5,000-man army was definitely one of the stupidest decisions Balliard had ever made, but if he didn't do it, he would feel very uncomfortable.

Belief is poison. From the moment Balliard accepted the faith of these people, he was poisoned. Everything he did was carried with the will of these people, but it didn't matter. He was not a human being, nor could he be said to be any kind of creature.

He is just a spirit body, and his soul is almost full of divinity. He is just a bunch of embodiments of divinity, and there is only a slight gap between him and the real "god".

It is this small gap that allows him to rely on his fake humanity to move around in Runeterra. However, this method is not easy. He also wants to be more domineering and arrogant, and he also wants to be more powerful when encountering an opponent stronger than himself.

Be tougher, but he is worried that if he does that, the fake mask of humanity will be shattered, and then he will either become an audience like the great wills, or start to perform the tasks he should perform.

The reason is that he has no humanity of his own. Although faith is poison, it is medicine for him who has no humanity. Although now it can only affect Balliard's decision under Balliard's indulgence.

, but sooner or later, he will be able to rely on the beliefs of these people to give birth to true humanity in himself.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Noyce arranged his clothes and ordered the infantry to check their weapons and armor.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer. Several simple houses in the settlement outside the city collapsed under the shock caused by the footsteps. Noyce raised his spear and roared,

"kill!"

"kill!"

The three hundred infantry team rushed out like this, as it should have been, but many people from the archers dropped their bows and arrows, pulled out their long knives to protect themselves when the enemy came close, and infiltrated into the infantry team.

, and many of the new recruits also sneaked in. The three hundred infantry team charged. In fact, there were more than four hundred people attacking the five thousand enemy troops.

The distance between the two sides was still 500 meters, but the 50-meter-wide avenue outside the city could not accommodate the 5,000 soldiers of Zerima. The soldiers in the back row forcibly demolished the nearby buildings, creating more

An environment conducive to their fighting.

Four hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

The distance between the armies of both sides is getting closer and closer, but the number of Balliard's infantry team is getting larger and larger. The civilians who should have fled to the distance outside the city to save their own lives picked up the weapons in their homes.

Things worthy of the name of weapons joined Balliard's army.

Four hundred people gradually turned into a thousand people.

At a distance of two hundred meters, one thousand people turned into three thousand.

One hundred meters away, three thousand people turned into nearly ten thousand people.

Finally, the armies of both sides collided, and a steady stream of civilians outside the city picked up their own weapons.

"Weapons" attacked Zerima's army from all directions. Some of them fought with Balliard's army head-on against Zerima's army. Some hid behind houses, lying on the roof, and attacked Zerima.

Mar's army left behind all kinds of messy things.

It was originally supposed that the 300 infantry of Balliard were surrounded and killed by the 5,000 troops of Zerima Army. Now, it turned out to be tens of thousands of people surrounding and killing the 5,000 troops.

The arrival of Balliard frightened Koma and also ignited the hopes of the civilians outside Zerima.

"...What a strange power."

Baliard was ready to take action, but the five thousand troops did not hurt anyone. Their swords, spears and halberds were slashing at the people and Baliard's soldiers, as if they were slashing at each other.

Like diamonds, which are harder than fine steel.

"Your Majesty's power is protecting us! Everyone! Kill!"

Noyce discovered this situation. As a civilian, he didn't know the will or the fate of the country. He only knew that His Majesty killed 30,000 people alone. This kind of power that the sword can add to the body without harming the body must be His Majesty's handiwork.

"For Your Majesty!"

"For the Empire!"

The shouts of the soldiers and the people became more and more fierce, and the strange power attached to these people gradually became stronger. Even the pebbles thrown by children of seven or eight years old could hit the soldiers in armor.

The soldier groaned as if he had been hit by a hammer, followed by a mouthful of blood.

"No wonder the Shurima Empire is defined as a kingdom of gods in history books. This is simply not something that any feudal or classical country can achieve."

Balliard suddenly felt that he had made a lot of money. Even though Azir in this world line was Sima Yi and the Shurima Empire here became the Jin Kingdom, it was too easy to help him shape this kind of cohesion like a fanatical believer.

If he became the emperor of an ordinary feudal country, it might take him seventy or eighty years to shape his humanity, but in the unified Shurima Empire, it would only take ten years.

Not to say that everyone is a fanatic believer, but at least 80% of the people in the Shurima Empire are fanatic believers in the Shurima Empire. In this world line, even if the supernatural power is weak, the divine power will not be able to control the secular power.

The influence is not high, maybe more than 50% of the people are fanatical believers in the Jin Kingdom.

Balliard can be sure that the power attached to these people is "will". These people's fanatical belief in the Shurima Empire... and the Jin Kingdom, with Balliard as the core, has created something similar to the military.

The effect of the soul, the super defense power and the will blow that can penetrate all defenses left the army of five thousand Zerima without the ability to fight back.

"They are protected by the Emperor! Run away!"

"The Emperor is here! Surrender!"

"Those who disturb the morale of the army must be killed!"

"Kill! Why are you running!"

Various shouts came from Zerima's army. Perhaps it was the effect similar to the military spirit that frightened these troops. Perhaps it was Balliard's reputation that intimidated these people. When the first

When a person turns to run away, what greets him is not the sword of the person behind him, but the same shout as his.

Three hundred people attacked five thousand people, and Zerima's army was defeated. What? Archers and new recruits got in? Balliard said that his army has strict military discipline and this kind of situation is absolutely impossible. There are tens of thousands of people.

Help? What can the unarmed people do to help? It would be better if they don’t help more and more.

Therefore, in this battle, 300 people defeated the 5,000 vanguard army.

"That's enough. Send the order and withdraw the troops."

Balliard counted in detail, less than a thousand of the five thousand Zerima army fled back, at least three thousand Zerima soldiers were killed, and the remaining ones... took off their clothes when they turned around and ran away.

He took off his armor, discarded his weapons and hid in a nearby house. Well, what a clever man. If he went back, sooner or later he would be sent out to fight against Valliard's army.

The sound of the gong sounded then. Noyce was worried that the three hundred of them would not be able to attack the tall city wall. When he heard the sound, his face lit up with joy.

"Everyone! Get out!"

A few minutes later, Noyce returned with the soldiers. Compared with when he set out, not only did he not lose more men, but he also had many more men. Some of them were strong and strong, probably because they had surrendered.

"The civilians are going to the rear of the troops, and the surrendered troops are going to the back, Noyce - well done."

Balliard saw the enthusiasm in the eyes of those people. Balliard, wearing golden armor, had already confessed his identity to them.

"It's all protected by His Majesty's divine power."

How dare Noyes take credit? He was very ambitious before the fight. During the fight, he realized how difficult those five thousand people were. If it weren't for that strange power, they would have been eaten in a short time.
