Those who were observant might have noticed that Li Huailin didn't participate in the battle at all. In fact, Li Huailin left very early. On the Night Flight side, Li Huailin handed over the statue to them and left. Of course, Li Huailin wasn't worried that anything would happen to them. If they couldn't even win, then the Night Flight wouldn't be able to handle it.
On the Sectorians' side, Li Huailin waited for them to win the battle before leaving with Nokves. The rest of the work was handed over to the newly appointed general, Vesicori.
Of course, Nokves didn't want to leave. He wanted to see his troops win the battle with his own eyes. After all, he was still a little worried. However, Li Huailin was determined to leave first because he didn't have much time left. Li Huailin was about to participate in the mission, and before that, he had other things to do.
"Sir, why are you in such a hurry?" Nokves was a little surprised when he heard Li Huailin's words. Li Huailin's order was for all the Sectorians to worship his statue, but Nokves seemed a little reluctant. Li Huailin frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Li Huailin was a little annoyed. "Is there a problem?"
"This … Sir …" Nokves pondered for a moment and decided to tell the truth. "Sir, the truth is, most of the people under our rule still believe in the evil god Byakee. They haven't changed their faith from before …"
"So doesn't this need to be fixed?" Li Huailin said.
"But … isn't it a little too radical?" Nokves asked.
Li Huailin instantly understood what Nokves meant. Simply put, Nokves was afraid of death. He was worried that the sudden promotion of a new faith would cause a lot of opposition from the Sectorians. After all, the new government had only been established for a short period of time. After all, it hadn't covered every corner of the continent yet. There were still many remnants of the church on the continent. In Nokves' opinion, his regime hadn't stabilized yet. Wouldn't it be a little dangerous to forcefully promote a new religion?
"Are you f * cking stupid?" Li Huailin said. "Now that Byakee is gone, all the Sectorians will lose their advantage. Now that you have this, you can use the slogan of the new god's protection to recruit them to work for you. This isn't a crisis, it's an opportunity."
"Yes, sir …" Nokves nodded. It was impossible for him to not think of this. After all, he had just tested it. However, he obviously had something else to say. Li Huailin saw that Nokves seemed to want to say something, so he asked again, "If you have anything to say, just ask."
"Your Majesty, this … what kind of ritual is this? Does it really have no side effects?" Nokves suddenly asked.
Yes, Nokves doubted it. The reason Nokves hadn't asked this question before was because he was too excited. It was like when you suddenly picked up a few million dollars. You would be excited, but you would immediately calm down and think about whether there was a problem. After a period of excitement, Nokves also calmed down. After thinking about it, he began to doubt the side effects of this strange ritual.
Yes, side effects. Nokves clearly knew that the so-called Lovelive religion was made up and directed by Li Huailin. In fact, there was no such religion at all, so of course, the god was nonsense. His soldiers did think that the sudden increase in their strength was because of the god's blessing, but Nokves certainly didn't think so. So where did the power come from?
According to common sense, it was impossible to obtain great power without paying any price. How could one increase their strength without paying any price? Why did the cultivators still practice? So Nokves' understanding of this thing began to lean towards the understanding of a super stimulant. Of course, using this super stimulant was very refreshing, but it might appear after the drug's effect wore off. Or perhaps it was a magic that temporarily increased one's strength by burning one's life. In any case, it was impossible for there to be no price. So Nokves was actually worried that Li Huailin concealed this side effect. If he really promoted this thing and found out that it was a scam, wouldn't his rule be even more dangerous?
"Oh?" Li Huailin narrowed his eyes and looked at Nokves. Of course, he immediately understood what Nokves meant. This gaze made Nokves slightly nervous. Indeed, there was something that Li Huailin didn't tell Nokves. The buff only lasted for seven days. After seven days, whether or not the other party could obtain a new buff through this ritual, Li Huailin wasn't too sure. After all, he had just obtained this thing.
In theory, the current ritual was simply to make these believers betray their own religion. This BUFF was actually a punishment for condemning the religion. However, Li Huailin wasn't sure if the system would determine whether the believers would be able to worship the religion again after being condemned. Of course, those with the BUFF could not be sacrificed again. Li Huailin had already tried this before. Otherwise, it would be over for him to farm the BUFF alone. If he wanted to try it again, he would have to wait for seven days before he could try again. Of course, Li Huailin wouldn't wait that long.
"Nokves, your idea is very dangerous," Li Huailin said faintly as he narrowed his eyes at Nokves who was a little scared.
"No, my Lord, I don't mean to doubt you," Nokves hurriedly said.
"Is that so?" Li Huailin smiled. "It seems that you haven't figured out the cause and effect of this matter. Let me help you a little."
"Please speak, my Lord," Nokves quickly said.
"What do you want now? You have to figure it out first. The happiness and well-being of all the Sectorians? Or the safety and stability of your new government? "Li Huailin said with a smile." Or to put it simply, do you want to protect your throne? "
Nokves didn't answer. The answer to this question was too obvious. All the people's happiness and well-being? No matter what a feudal ruler did, they had to at least ensure their own rule. Everything else was secondary. Of course, you couldn't say it like that. To put it nicely, you had to say it was for the people under your rule.
"My Lord, please enlighten me," Nokves said after thinking for a moment.
"Simply put, you still haven't figured out which side you should lean towards." When Li Huailin saw that Nokves understood, he smiled and continued. "Is it your people who guarantee your regime now? Do you think your regime will be more stable if you lean towards me or the people? "
"Huh?" Nokves was startled. Li Huailin suddenly said something that surprised him. He wanted him to lean towards Li Huailin. One must know that Nokves' government was still an independent one, and Li Huailin obviously wanted him to become a subsidiary of the other party.
Of course, Nokves' first reaction when he heard this was that he didn't want to. After all, he was a ruler who wanted to be the greatest ruler. Who would want to look at someone else's face? Therefore, being called a subsidiary was very unpleasant. However, Nokves was still relatively calm, so he didn't immediately say anything.
Yes, he understood the situation on Li Huailin's side. Of course, he was well aware of Li Huailin's strength. The simplest example was the recently destroyed church. The church's strength was much stronger than his current government, but it was still destroyed by Li Huailin. If Nokves were to fall out with Li Huailin now, he didn't need to think about what would happen.
But Li Huailin said that there were benefits in having him join his side. Of course, there were benefits. Combining with Li Huailin's previous words, Nokves understood that Li Huailin meant that he would listen to Li Huailin's orders, and his rule would be guaranteed by Li Huailin. Simply put, as long as Nokves obeyed, he could continue to be the Emperor.
To be honest, Nokves was a little tempted. After all, he had been under so much pressure for the past few days that he couldn't breathe. Every day, he felt as if his lower body was going to rebel at any time. He couldn't even sleep well. In fact, everyone had their own stages. At the current stage, Nokves was most worried about this problem. Since Li Huailin said that he could guarantee it, then Nokves was naturally tempted.
"Of course, you can also disagree, but … I have my own considerations," Li Huailin suddenly said. Of course, there was a hint of threat in his words. Nokves immediately understood that Li Huailin meant … to change the Emperor. Of course, this was easy to understand. Nokves thought about it. He had just been registered, what would happen if he changed the Emperor? It seemed to be feasible. He was really afraid of this.
Yes, a carrot and a stick. Li Huailin's persuasion was very old-fashioned, but it was very effective. Nokves immediately understood his current situation. It seemed that he really had no choice but to rely on Li Huailin.
"Sir, of course, I am willing to listen to you," Nokves thought for a while and immediately said.
"Well, do you have any questions about this matter?" Li Huailin asked.
"No," Nokves replied immediately.
"Very well, then I'll leave this matter to you. Let's start right now, okay?" Li Huailin said.
