After sighing with emotion as a victor, Li Mu called for the players to deal with the aftermath of conquering the Half-Orc tribe.
Destroying the Golden Tent tribe was not the end. Forcing the surrendered Half-Orcs to change their faith was also necessary.
In a sense, this was the most effective way to weaken the enemy's True God in a battle of faith.
The Players were already familiar with the process.
The Desert of Death mission in the past two months allowed them to accumulate a wealth of experience. Soon, someone brought a handmade statue and forced the Half-Orcs to desecrate it one by one.
There was a faint commotion in the small square where the Half-Orcs were imprisoned.
For the Half-Orcs, their faith had been deeply rooted in their hearts for many years.
With the players' coercion, the Half-Orcs who had surrendered quickly rebelled.
This was also within the players' expectations.
In fact, in the Desert of Death mission two months ago, there would be similar resistance every time the players forced the Half-Orcs to give up their faith.
However, under the premise that their weapons and equipment were all removed, and their high-level combat power was already dead, these Half-Orcs could not stir up any trouble in front of the players.
They were just like the Half-Orcs' last struggle to protect their faith, weak and pathetic.
Just a few small and medium-sized guilds who were responsible for guarding the Half-Orcs easily suppressed these rebels …
The Half-Orcs who resisted were quickly turned into ashes by the players' swords.
The entire process was methodical and practiced to the point of being incomparably natural.
The players' bloodthirsty and cruel attitude when killing the Half-Orcs who resisted made the remaining Half-Orcs pale and completely lose their courage …
They no longer had the courage to resist. They either cried, were at a loss, or begged for mercy. They followed the players' orders and desecrated the handmade statue in Oulleur.
At this point, the Half-Orcs' faith had completely collapsed …
This scene was witnessed by the Elves who participated in the battle with the players. Their expressions became very complicated.
After being with the players for a long time, the Elves thought that they had a deep understanding of these Chosen Ones from the alternate world.
In the eyes of many Elves who had not seen the players fight, although these Chosen Ones' actions were sometimes strange and funny, they were all very sincere and friendly.
At this moment, after witnessing the cruel and merciless manner in which the gamers dealt with the Orcs, the Elves' worldview was greatly impacted.
After conquering the Orc tribe, the gamers plundered the Orc tribe.
Many people did not expect that the Heaven's Chosen One, who had been talking and laughing with them, would have such a side to him …
"Do you find it cruel and shocking?"
Just as the Elves were looking at the Players with complicated gazes, a childish voice sounded behind them.
The elves all turned their heads.
When they saw who it was, they hurriedly straightened their bodies and drew the symbol of the Scepter of Life on their chests.
"Greetings, Lord Ayr!"
The one who spoke to them was the god's chosen one, Ayr.
This time, Ayr Moonlight, who was on good terms with Demacia, also joined the Heart of Nature's army.
He was the leader of this elven troop.
Eve was the youngest god's chosen one, and he had matured a lot in the past two years.
Although he still looked like a teenager, his actions were more mature, and his gaze was more determined.
After hearing Ayr's question, the Elves hesitated for a moment before answering honestly.
"Yes … We didn't expect the Chosen Ones to have such a side to them …"
"We always felt that even though their actions were strange, they were as gentle as us."
This started from the way the gamers fawned over the NPCs …
As time passed, the gamers gradually understood the personalities of the Elves.
They were becoming better at catering to the Elves' preferences and creating an image of themselves in front of the Elves to gain the Elves' favor.
There was even a post on the official website that taught the gamers how to communicate with the Elves in depth.
Therefore, many newly returned Elves who had not seen the battle of the Chosen Ones had a fixed impression of them …
Hearing the elves' answer, God's Chosen Al didn't comment.
He looked at the gamers in the distance and then at the Elves who had complicated expressions. He sighed slightly.
"This is the war between races and beliefs. Only by abandoning compassion can we win in this cruel war …"
"The reason why our race declined rapidly in the past thousand years, other than losing the blessings of the True Gods and being subjected to racial shackles, another important reason was that we were too merciful."
"And mercy is something that cannot exist in war."
As he spoke, he paused and sighed with emotion.
"I once heard the Chosen Ones say something. It was an ancient teaching of the Sages in their hometown — 'Mercy is not in command of an army'."
"Of course, in their explanation, this sentence was actually used to describe the relationship between the army commander and the soldiers. The general idea was that the army commander should not be overly merciful. At critical times, he must not let mercy to the soldiers cause major problems."
"But in my opinion, this sentence is also applicable to the enemy."
"Although we love peace, love life, and desire to live in a world without strife, sometimes we have to face battles."
"In this world, there are many things that do not revolve around our will. Beliefs, races, survival, and struggles are everywhere …"
"And in war, being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to ourselves."
After hearing Ayr's words, the Elves fell into deep thought.
Ayr changed the topic.
"Of course, I'm not encouraging everyone to learn from the Chosen Ones."
"They are warriors summoned from another world by Her Holiness the Goddess. To them, war is a game."
"And to face war with a game attitude, there will naturally be some things that ordinary people can't accept …"
"To them, this is a game, so they have no scruples. But to us, this is a real war, so our emotions will always be more complicated."
"Therefore, it's normal for everyone to feel uncomfortable with some of the Chosen Ones' actions."
"But everyone has to understand that no matter what, this is for our ultimate victory. The Chosen Ones are also our most solid allies and partners …"
"There is no right or wrong in war, and the order after war can only be written by the victors."
"When the dust settles, as the final victors, we naturally have the ability and opportunity to shape the order we desire and paint a new future!"
"Everything … is for the glory of the Goddess and the Elves!"
Ayr's voice was solemn.
After hearing his words, the Elves' gazes gradually became firm.
"Everything … is for the glory of the Goddess and the Elves!"
They also said with the same solemn and sincere voice.
"Very good, it seems that … everyone is gradually growing."
From afar, Eve, who took in the conversation between Ayr and the Elves, secretly nodded.
The Elves were gradually getting used to battle.
They had gradually abandoned their benevolence in battle.
Although they would still frown slightly when facing some of the actions of the players, they had a calmer attitude to consider the right and wrong.
This was very good.
Hmm … In addition, the Nature's Heart Guild was also very good.
She originally thought that the players would need her to deal with the Gold Level High Priest, but she had been watching the whole time, and the players relied on a few statues to solve the problem.
"Demacia's God's Punishment Style … is really a cancer in the industry … I think Oulleur and Hodl's expressions must be very interesting. If I'm not wrong, when the God's Punishment was just now, it was a bit hesitant and weak. Hodl is probably also very conflicted, right?"
Eve thought to herself.
Punishment or not was really a problem for the believers of the True Gods.
After all, the source of their power came from their faith, and maintaining their faith meant that they had to maintain their high and mighty image.
For them, face was not only about face, but also directly related to their dignity.
It could only be said that their success and failure depended on their faith.
With this thought, Eve connected to the game system again and looked at the other battlefields.
Although the Nature's Heart Guild was the last to attack, they were the second to break through the Orc tribe.
Of course, the "God's Punishment Bomb" contributed the most. The other player armies did not have Demacia's channels and resources to obtain such a secret weapon. At most, they could only buy one or two statues from the Amway Trading Firm at a high price and use them at critical moments.
However, the other Orc tribes were weaker than the Golden Tent tribe, and the other player armies also had their own advantages.
Among them, the Mengmeng Committee was rich and had equipped more than 40 catapults at one go. They had already used the catapults to bombard the Orcs' divine barrier until it was on the verge of collapse.
Not only that, the Mengmeng Committee and Nature's Heart were close, and Salty Meow had one or two statues that were given by Demacia.
Although the Orc tribe they were facing was not much weaker than the Golden Tent tribe, it was only a matter of time before they broke through the city.
Although the First Legion did not have statues and had limited catapults, they had the most combat-type players.
The Orc tribe they attacked was the Silver Tent tribe, which was the closest to the Gloom Mountain Range. They had been harassed by the players many times and were already exhausted.
Under such circumstances, the Red Dragon Tiberia, who was only at the upper level of Gold, but her actual combat power was almost on par with the Legendary Red Dragon. She had also fought for the longest time.
Therefore, not long after Nature's Heart broke through the Golden Tent tribe, they also broke through the city.
From the perspective of the game, their attack was also the most tragic and spectacular.
However, the casualty ratio of the players made Eve's heart ache.
The most surprising one was the Autobot Guild.
This major guild, which was formed by the third beta players, was much weaker than the other three major guilds.
However, in this attack, they were the first to break through the city.
However, the reason they broke through the city was not because the players were strong, nor was it because the Orc tribe was weak.
It was because the guild leader, Ji Gang, the Shapeshifter, had used a trick. Before the army besieged the Orc tribe, he had sent the Legendary Spider Queen Lolth to attack from underground and destroy the wall of the Orc tribe.
When the wall with the magic circle was destroyed, the divine barrier could not be activated.
The Orc tribe … was broken through by the players just like that.
Eve couldn't help but sigh. There were so many talents among the players, and they were always able to bring her new surprises …
Just as Eve was distracted to check the other battlefields, a familiar voice suddenly woke her up.
"Lady Zero, we have collected all the idols in Oulleur. We are waiting for you to deal with them."
Eve retracted her consciousness and looked at the person who spoke.
It was Li Mu.
She nodded slightly.
"Thank you for your hard work. Lead the way."
Then, she got up and followed Li Mu.
Li Mu quickly brought Eve to the main tent of the Golden Tent tribe's priests. There were more than a dozen idols of various sizes.
The largest one was more than three meters tall. It should be the main idol of the Golden Tent tribe. It was also the idol that was connected to the divine barrier.
All the idols stored the Power of Faith.
Quite a number of players had gathered around the statue, and all of them looked at the statue with regret.
What a pity …
If it weren't for Oulleur's God's Punishment, there would be more than a dozen bombs!
Well, there was also a three-meter-tall "nuclear bomb."
Just thinking about it made their hearts ache.
But now, they could only leave it to the NPCs.
Eve came to the front of the idols and stood still.
She looked pious and drew a symbol of the Scepter of Life on her chest. Then, she said solemnly,
"Praise nature, praise life, praise the great Goddess Eve!"
"Please use your power to eliminate the heretics here!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a bright light shone from Eve's body. All the players felt a sacred and majestic aura descending on the scene.
The next second, the light shrouded all the idols in Oulleur. The idols that were shrouded by the light began to lose their luster. In just a moment, they were no different from ordinary idols …
They had completely lost their connection with Oulleur. The Power of Faith in them had also dissipated between heaven and earth.
Eliminating the Power of Faith.
This was what the believers of different faiths had to do after occupying the other party's sphere of influence in the War of Faith. It was also what the True Gods tacitly agreed to.
The principle was that the believers prayed to trigger the power of the True Gods. The power of the True Gods would descend and completely "destroy" the idols of the enemy gods.
Of course, the process had to be decent and not blasphemous.
Every priest could do such a thing.
It was just that Eve was the boss here. She prayed to herself.
The reason why she did this was to completely occupy the sphere of influence of the enemy True Gods.
The sphere of influence of the True Gods was determined by the area covered by the network of faith.
The network of faith was woven by the believers' faith and the idols that they worshipped.
The faith of the surviving Half-Orcs had been forcibly erased. Oulleur's network of faith in the northern part of the Death Desert was on the verge of collapse.
If she got rid of the idols at this moment, she would completely lose control of this area.
Similarly, Oulleur's confinement of space would also lose its effect.
In this area, the teleportation circle would be able to operate again!
Not long after Eve "purified" Oulleur's network of faith in this area, the Mengmeng Committee also conquered the last Half-Orc tribe.
At this point, the four Half-Orc tribes that acted as a barrier in the northern part of the Death Desert had all fallen.
Oulleur had completely lost control of the northern part of the Death Desert. The players had also further unlocked the "shackles" of their advantage.
The door of the Death Desert was completely open to them …
