"It looks like you've heard of me, so our next topic will be very simple. First of all, let all your people retire, otherwise it will only increase unnecessary sacrifices."

Seeing the appearance of the sect leader shouting out in surprise, Yong Ye nodded with satisfaction, and then pointed to Porus, who was blocking the intersection with magma not far away, and blocked the soldiers of Anning Road with radioactive flames.

"...Retreat all! I want to talk to them!"

Stepping down from the throne, the leader issued an order to the outside when Poros stopped the arson, trying to stop the soldiers from continuing to make unnecessary sacrifices because of their belief in him.

"But, but! His Highness the leader! They are too dangerous!"

"Don't worry, there is no such disaster in my prophecy to myself."

"Since you said so..."

Wearing iron helmets all around, the religious soldiers who were covered by a curtain that completely covered their faces and painted two red lightning current pictures and texts, with sufficient vigilance, slowly retreated, but they were still surrounded. In this hall, it seems that the leader will rescue him at any time if something goes wrong.

"They've already retired, so can we sit down and talk calmly now? By the way, do you want some wine? Ah, if you're worried about poison, that's fine."

The leader looked at Yong Ye again with a smile. He also found two bottles of wine from behind the throne. He went straight to one of the many benches below the main hall and sat down first.

"…no problem."

"Lord Yongye??"

"Don't worry."

He patted the head of Sibia, who was worried about him. In addition to knowing that the bishop's character was better than his own, he wouldn't do such a thing. He was also bold because of the invincibility of all poisons. Just took the bottle.

The two distinguished people just drank each other in the main hall of the great sanctuary, and chatted along the way.

"I know your intention, but I have no intention of power or to initiate a religious rebellion. It's just that the local officials here are too oppressive to believers. If they don't do this, a large number of believers will starve to death, so the cadres in Anning Dao are in great numbers. In order to take care of the huge number of believers..."

"It's very simple to solve this problem. From now on, Anning Dao will be under the jurisdiction of the Northern Territory. I can let someone help you clear the disobedient elements in the sect. The religious rebellion can continue as planned. My faith must be in me, not in you or an ethereal god."

"Wait, you're talking about clearing out the disobedient elements in the sect?"

"Yes, don't you have an incredible ability to read people's hearts to a certain extent? Don't you feel anything?"

Yong Ye's straightforward question made the leader bow his head and close his eyes.

"I did feel a deep darkness from a few cadres, such as Berlik, who was already dead, but running such a huge order sometimes requires doing something unavoidable, and I alone can only save the people in front of me. There are only a few people, and thanks to the cadres, the church has grown to its current size, and for them... I am, very trusting."

"Very good trust, but Berlik was a spy sent by the minister, and it was the rebel army who killed him. On the one hand, the two groups wanted to kill you and then control the order to stop the rebellion, and on the other hand, they wanted to rely on your large number of believers. To be cannon fodder, and then they take the opportunity to rebel, and I..."

Looking at the leader who didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, he paused. In addition to clearing the hidden dangers for him, Yong Ye put forward another condition.

"Your religious rebellion, although the revolutionary army is sitting by the side waiting to fish in troubled waters, but they will not provide help, and I can provide you with weapons, after all, the eight-year war has made me have a large inventory of weapons. Western Weapons and equipment from foreign nations in the north and Western kingdoms can be said to have everything, and these weapons and equipment will certainly greatly reduce the casualties of your believers, right?"

"Although I don't want to be involved in the war, it doesn't look like I have a choice, I understand... Let's talk about the details."

With a sigh as if giving up, the leader began to discuss with Yong Ye about the business of returning to the North. After all, he also understood that if it was just one party, there was no chance of success, especially since they were not really military. the case of the organization.

No matter if the empire and the revolutionary army win, they will not end well. It is normal for the empire to clear the rebellion. If the revolutionary army wins, they will also attack Anning Dao, regard Anning Dao as a real rebellion, and put all sins on An Ningdao, but victory in the north can be given the status of the state religion, and provide support for weapons and equipment in wartime.

Under such circumstances, unless you want to rely on believers to build a country, the best and only option for An Ning Dao is to go to the north, so the leader made a very simple decision.

The specific mutual conditions for secret surrender are probably that while Yongye provides weapons, it also provides regular armed personnel to train believers, and installs veterans as grassroots commanders, or... the regular believers are from the grassroots to the high level. officers to command operations.

In this way, the combat capability of Anning Taoists can be improved in all directions, and the unnecessary casualties of believers can be greatly reduced. The price is that the military force is controlled by the North.

If it is someone who has ambitions for power, then it is impossible to agree to Yongye's request, but... the leader of An Ning Dao really has no ambition, and is a rare and truly good person.

Maybe the cadres under him can't accept it, but if he can protect the believers, then this kind of thing is not unacceptable to him, and now Yongye himself has a group of Emperor Envoys here, even if he does not agree with Yongye. Also let him choose to agree.

After the bishop agreed, the rest was easy to say. After Yong Ye stayed in An Ning Dao for a while, after helping the stable sect to eradicate the dissatisfaction, he began to take the enemy weapons captured by the North during the war, mainly Hebei. A large number of weapons and equipment of different ethnic groups and kingdoms that do not match the weapons and equipment of the military standard of the border are transported from the coastal road in the north.

The elites use Western Kingdom equipment with better weapons and equipment, and the non-brands use inferior equipment from other ethnic groups. The elite regular believers and officers are all from the north from the grassroots to the high level. The initial physical strength can only be acceptable. Faith thugs with the level of taking up arms are listed as bad cards, and only provide training to arrange officers depending on the situation.

The transformation of beliefs will definitely not start until the northern border officially attacks the empire, so during the training, the officers will cooperate with the Anning Taoist priests to carry out new ideological education as planned, as well as the change of the object of belief. The believers also began to transform their beliefs little by little, shaping Yongye into a **** in their religion, a **** who had just descended to earth.

That's it... When An Ning Dao was almost on the right track, Yong Ye also evacuated the place with people.

"Lord of the North, is it Yong Ye, the Great General of Zhenbei?"

When Yong Ye and the others rode the flying dangerous species to leave, the Taoist priest Anning, who was still wearing a black robe, was on the top of the great sanctuary, watching them leave. , I couldn't help thinking of the private conversation I had with him last night.

Yong Ye asked him to predict his future, and he did use the predictive ability that he would rarely activate and never use on himself to probe into Yong Ye's future, but...

"...Whether he is a person or a leader, he is qualified, but why...the future will be the same as the name?"

He can't see anything except the endless darkness. This is the first time that this phenomenon has appeared. There are two possibilities. He can't see the future of Eternal Night at all, and the other is naturally...

"...May the future I see change, and may the foreknowledge that I rarely activate, this time...is a failure. May you be blessed by God."

The believers of Anning Dao were armed and given secret military training, and then three months after Berlik's death, the long-awaited religious rebellion of Anning Dao finally occurred.

With the aim of fighting against the country that caused the people to suffer, and relying on sufficient weapons and equipment, Anning Road immediately occupied the city where the headquarters of the Anning Road, which is quite far from the imperial capital, was located in the east with a sufficient number of people.

Next, the religious soldiers of Anningdao kept attacking the granaries of the heavily taxed government and the unscrupulous landlords, opened the warehouses for disaster relief and recruited believers, secretly began to spread the belief in Yongye, and quickly expanded their rebellion.

Although bloodshed is not what the leader wants to happen, but for the sake of a large number of believers, he has decided to start an uprising. With the help of Yongye, the casualties can be reduced, and the believers will not be reduced to war machines again after the incident, or... Cannon fodder, this is his only consolation. After all, he has no other choice.

In addition, a large number of people who have been abused by the tyranny of the empire and would have been submissive as long as they can continue to survive, because of the environment that is almost impossible to survive now, a large number of people who have been persecuted to the extent that they have no hope for tomorrow, and this large-scale The religious rebellion resonated, and the scale of the rebellion suddenly covered every corner of the empire except the north.

At the same time, the alien races from the west and the north, which had been suppressed continuously, joined forces with the northern permafrost and the southern islands and the eastern rebel army to start an attack on the front line of the empire.

Only the Western kingdoms with unique cultures such as alchemy who can truly fight the empire alone are still watching the situation. After all, the last war only stopped not long ago.

Even though the turmoil this time is much bigger than the previous turmoil, or even not comparable to the last one, there is no turmoil in the Northern Territory, where an army of elites with training and equipment sits. One-step plan.

In addition to restoring production and economy in the past few years, the northern border has also consistently insisted on expanding and training troops. After the war, the 500,000 troops tempered by blood and fire were not cut, but were recruited and expanded by ten. Thousands of recruits and veterans' training, this huge military group makes it impossible for the Western Kingdom to easily take action.

Not only the Western kingdoms, but the alien races in the West who are afraid of being attacked actually detoured through the west and approached the south outside the northern sphere of influence, and joined the revolutionary army to attack the empire.

Under the leadership of the undefeated northern alien prince, Numa Seka, who can fight well and hold a gun, the northern aliens and permafrost residents take the fortress city of the country established by their aliens as their stronghold... On the frozen sea, bypassing the defense zone in the north, they also attacked the empire.

After all, the persimmons are soft, the northern border is strong, and the empire looks weak. They will not be foolish to attack the northern border directly, but will attack the empire that looks much weaker, intending to take a share of the turmoil.

This winter, the empire was in chaos and fell into a bad situation of internal and external troubles.

Due to the lack of training of the soldiers of the imperial army, the imperial army has been in retreat. Even if it can suppress the riots of ordinary civilians, it has been retreating in the face of the revolutionary army of An Ningdao and other ethnic groups.

Esdes has once again launched the suppression of the rebels, but... two fists are hard to beat with four hands. The rebels are scattered all over the country, it can be said that they are everywhere, she can't suppress it at all, of course, this way The situation is really good for Esdes. What she likes most is to ravage the enemy. If there is no enemy, you must create an enemy to ravage.

In this cold winter when the heavy snow covered most of the cities in the empire, Yong Ye originally lived in the north and did not plan to return to the imperial capital. He was ready to wait for the war to heat up and the rebellions in the empire and around the country were about to decide the outcome. At the least cost, the final victory of this war was achieved in one fell swoop.

But... that's not realistic, it's impossible not to be targeted by watching a play all the time.

If he is in the imperial capital, because he is the leader of the northern border, to a large extent, the empire's suspicion of the northern border can be alleviated, and the empire can work hard to fight against all parties, so that all parties will not be too early. Aiming at the north, which was always motionless and recharged, he was hesitating whether to go to the imperial capital.
