Capítulo 1169: Chapter 1169: Underestimating Myself or Overestimating My Opponent
The territorial recruitnt, they knew about it as soon as it happened.
Although the whole territory started to beco chaotic, Jera felt heavy-hearted. Yes, after all, this is soone else’s territory, it’s soone else’s ho ground. Once they take it seriously, their strength cannot be underestimated.
“Pope, we just received news that rumors are spreading around us that we have obtained the sacred object.”
“What? When did we get the sacred object?” Jera raised her head and asked curiously.
“Not clear, but soone outside is spreading rumors that the reason we developed so quickly is that we acquired the sacred object within the teor, and it’s said to be an item from the Undead System.”
“Hmph, others don’t know, but you still don’t know?” Jera imdiately said when she saw so people’s eyes changed.
“The great God is watching over us. Can’t you feel the will of the God? Do you think this effect can be achieved just by so sacred object?” So people who were a bit shaken quickly lowered their heads.
Yes, if it were a sacred object, how could they explain the strength they received?
Moreover, even if it were a sacred object, it doesn’t matter because I am also one of its users.
Having figured this out, they naturally began to maintain their own interests. After all, even if they sided with the other party, even if the other party got the benefits, who could say they’d have the chance to use the sacred object themselves?
Glory and wealth are nothing but external matters; what truly has value is one’s own strength.
The improvent in my current strength is the best proof.
It’s not just simply summoning the Undead; I myself am also improving. So people have even touched the threshold and don’t know when they might break through to the level of a Hero.
You have to know that once you beco a Hero, you’ll be respected regardless of where you are.
Reportedly, even in so other big countries or places of Godly faith, those Heroes are one tier above others, and as long as they continue their faith steadily, they have a chance to reach that level.
One has to admit that the people of this world truly have a very good foundation.
This speed of improvent, even with the feedback from faith, Fang Jie finds it sowhat unbelievable.
In this grave atmosphere, the first battle finally erupted. In front was an army that seed like refugees, equipped with only a tattered weapon, barely any armor.
So might have leather armor at ho, which is how they managed to wear so.
So of the weapons in their hands are even farming tools.
When the two armies clashed, before contact, the opposing army collapsed on its own. Weapons were thrown all over the ground, and everyone fled in a panic. This situation dumbfounded Jera, who was at the forefront.
Suddenly, Jera reacted and hurriedly shouted, “Surrender and you won’t be killed, surrender and you won’t be killed.”
The others heard and started shouting too. Sure enough, as long as they shouted ‘surrender and you won’t be killed,’ these people surrendered on their own, without a hint of resistance. The battle was so smooth that Jera found it sowhat unreal.
“Is this the outco of their recruitnt? How can they be of such poor quality?”
Such a gathered crowd is nothing more than a rabble, no, calling them a rabble would be elevating them.
After all, even a rabble would at least fight first; they dared not even fight.
“There’s no way around it; after all, they were put together temporarily, with no benefits, not even training,” said one of the surrenderers, sowhat dissatisfied upon realizing he would not die.
A person beside him also spoke up, “I was originally just a small rchant, paying so much tax normally, and yet still being forcibly conscripted. Now I have nothing, why should I fight for them?”
Others heard and began to air their grievances, turning it into what seed like a complaint eting.
Jera finally understood that it wasn’t just about the army’s morale and combat power being insufficient. It had lost the people’s hearts.
“Alright, alright, since everyone is here, we’re all family from now on. We all ca from poor families. What we need to do is create a world where no one goes hungry.”
With a round of indoctrination, Jera gestured for others to join in the indoctrination.
The reason they weren’t killed is because these people will be the best candidates for believers in the future. Moreover, they were driven to desperation and naturally wouldn’t help their forr leaders.
After all, anyone with so capability and connections would never end up in this cannon fodder army.
The opposing territory never expected that those they thought could deplete the enemy’s forces would surrender so easily.
There were so who ca over to hunt for treasures who did have so combat power. However, they wouldn’t unite among themselves, and each group was too small in number. After so were eradicated, the rest fled.
They ca here to earn their keep, not to risk their lives.
Besides, they didn’t know the lord of this place, might even be hostile to them, why would they help the lord here?
After taking down so people, they not only did not suffer losses but even increased their Undead Army, making the others even more reluctant to fight. Seeing this, not only was the opposing lord surprised, but even Jera herself was.
“It seems I underestimated the strength God bestowed upon our army.”
Jera finally realized that her troops were strong and not as ordinary as she had imagined.
The earlier understanding needed anding. Originally, just an ordinary person, the rapid developnt had caused her cognition to not keep pace, which really shouldn’t have been the case.
As the leader of a rebellious army, she definitely couldn’t underestimate herself.
“The troops on the territory’s side aren’t actually that many. The regular army of the territory only numbers ten thousand, and the supplentary forces won’t be much more. The maximum recruitnt can get is fifty thousand, but the quality is virtually nonexistent.”
The recruited troops present no threat, only coming to offer manpower.
Moreover, with these people, spreading faith in their holands will be even easier in the future. Jera couldn’t wish for more of such people.
The opposing regular army, while strong, is far inferior to the Undead Army. With recent developnts, even Jera’s five thousand Undead have grown to nearly twenty thousand.
The developnt by others in secret would only be more, so it seems possible to take over this territory.
Thinking of this, Jera imdiately ordered, “Call everyone over for a eting, we shall now take this territory and make it the place of our God’s faith, ready to embrace the descent of God.”
Upon hearing these words, the people around burst into cheers.
