Chapter 1438 What Is the Most Important Thing in the Eyes of Humans?
For ordinary soldiers in the city-states of Olympus, is it worthwhile to work for the nobles as much as to work for the gods?
And the most important thing is that the Paladins publicly said that they do not need the people's offerings, but will hire the people to build the temple. What does this mean?
The most direct thing is that the new God King not only restricts his agent, the Paladins, but also may not care about money at all, let alone gold, silver and jewelry.
Going deeper, he may not even care about the faith of mortals.
Because in the past, the presiding priests of the temple evaluated the piety of the believers, and a large part of the standard was how much money the believers offered to the temple.
The priests make money, and the gods have faith, but money is something that humans cannot give up since they have this concept.
It's okay to have money or to offer to the temple willingly, but in a slave society with such low productivity, the temple and the nobles often unite to make money from the bottom of the society where eating is a problem.
This makes it impossible for people not to hate the gods.
As for these city-state soldiers, those who put down their swords and are above level nine are all at the bottom.
So, under the pressure of 50,000 barbarians, when they heard that there were 34 reserve knights in the Paladin Order, some soldiers left the camp that night to try whether they could join the Paladin Order by luck.
Fortunately, the miracles performed by William were well known to everyone, and no soldier who arrived at the square dared to attack the hotel where the Paladins lived two blocks away without thinking.
They could only hide quietly in the corners around the square and wait for dawn.
During this wait, it didn't take long for the news that someone had left the camp to be hidden.
And someone took the lead, and it was out of control. Even the high-level officers such as the thousand-man captain and the centurion captain were silently calculating in their hearts whether the treatment of the thousand-man captain or the identity of the Paladin was better.
As for the commander who rarely came to the camp, let alone that he was not there, even if he was there, he would not dare to force the soldiers to return to the camp at night under such circumstances.
Once a camp riot occurs, the camp will be a river of blood. The soldiers who killed people will definitely riot in the city and escape from Hell City with money.
From early morning to early morning, the soldiers ran out of the camp in groups to try their luck.
When they saw that almost all the people in the camp had run away, they dared to show up with empty hands and without even armor.
Then someone suggested that everyone work together to try to take all 34 places with the advantage of numbers.
And everyone also made it clear that as long as they took 34 places, they would suppress the punishment of the nobles with the identity of Paladins and the mentality of not punishing the masses by law.
At the same time, these 34 knights must take care of their colleagues who were not selected in the future.
Even if the Paladins really have money, the soldiers are even willing to directly rely on the Paladins.
And if the Knights don't want them, they will move closer to the city lord Palau who has become an apprentice Paladin.
With the title of city lord, anyone who dares to talk too much will be killed.
So, when William got up early in the morning, heard Strauss's prayer, and understood the whole story, he was happy at first.
But then he thought that if the Paladin Order had a large number of soldiers, it would be equivalent to starting the war mode.
The result would be the Olympian version of the Crusades.
And William was sure that the old man Strauss and the ascetic knights from the earth would be willing to help him conquer the entire Olympian world.
However, the thousand captains and centurions in this army were willing to join the Paladin Order, which also made William understand that
the reason why mortals opposed Zeus and other gods was that the gods encroached on the interests of mankind.
And once the gods were no longer exploiters, ordinary people and soldiers, as long as they could live a life of food and clothing,
not to mention making trouble, at least they would not strongly resist the belief in the gods.
They could even easily gain their worship.
But if William wanted to unify the world, he would not use the Paladins, or even the means of war. Besides, he was the King of Gods, so why did he need to be a king?
Since there was no need and no mood to unify Olympus and ancient Greece, what if he ordered the old man Strauss to accept these two thousand soldiers today?
The Paladins would not be able to easily enter other city-states in the future, so there was no need for Athena and Artemis to remind them with a worried look.
William had a thought and opened a portal above the Hell City. The whole sky was soon covered with dark clouds and flashing with lightning.
The more than two thousand soldiers and the nobles who rushed over were frightened and knelt on the ground to pray for William to calm down.
Soon, the people in the whole city were frightened by the pressure of thunder and knelt on the ground to pray loudly.
And what followed was the huge energy of faith, which appeared around him unexpectedly.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one book, one forum, one 6, one 9!
In just a few thoughts, William, who had put away this huge power of faith, understood that the Holy Light that descended yesterday was only to make the people of Hell City believe in the existence of the God King, and today's thunder and lightning was like a punishment from heaven hanging over the heads of the citizens of the entire city.
It seems that the means are more important than grace and power.
Moreover, hundreds of thousands of people knelt down to worship him at the same time, which made William suddenly feel comfortable and in control of everything.
Fortunately, caution and laziness occupied the main part of his character, and he soon recovered from the thought of controlling all living beings.
In the whole city, the 34 -strong believers who have the highest piety and have the least faith reached at least the faith are transmitted to the Paladin to live outside the hotel.
After the initial panic, these 34 people obtained the sanctuary body in public, and after improving their physical fitness, they easily broke out of strong faith. After all, they were all the god kings of William, and they personally selected the prepared knight.
Fortunately, those two thousand soldiers are not all speculators. There are really five people who have reached the believers of the believers by hundreds of devotion.
This also paniced other soldiers for a while and stabilized.
After William dispersed the Thunder in the sky, Strauss took 66, wearing the Knights of the Palace, and walked out of the hotel neatly. And civilians.
Both civilians and soldiers have preparatory knights, so that these two groups with the largest number of people soon stabilized, and the entire city also returned to the right track.
Instead, the nobles who had the right to occupy the right in the past began to worry about their future.
At this time, no one dared to question, but the nobles did not dare to show this idea at all.
In addition, the Paladin did not make any remarks against the noble class, and the threat of the foreign enemy, the barbarian, can only wait and see for a while.
Two days later, I was watching the Paladins from ten Earth, teach other knights to cultivate the magic of the holy light, or to cure Straus.
After hearing the collision and footsteps of armor, I didn't need to understand that the barbarians had come.
