Beifeng Principality, Wizard Tower.
Although he had fused with a little divinity, the negative will of the divinity still had some influence on him. It could magnify the negative emotions of the soul, such as irritation, desire, killing, and so on. Suhlen needed to calm down a little bit.
He now had a lot of divinity. In addition to the divinity of the Brain Hunters, the Heartless Church left in the valley was also thriving. Now, the Heartless Church had 600 or 700 devout believers. After a while, when it was time to perform blood sacrifices to the evil god, Suhlen would directly harvest them.
Now, the kobolds were living quite well. In the valley, the biting north wind was blocked. Although the temperature was still very low, it was much better than the wilderness. Suhlen arranged a large number of people to monitor there. There was only one entrance in the whole valley, and these kobolds were simply turtles in a jar.
Suhlen was not worried about the evil god of the Heartless. In fact, the strength of evil gods was much higher. The lowest level of evil gods was only legendary, and it was not surprising that there were a few mid-level gods among the powerful ones. The evil god of the Heartless should be at the stage of a weak god. In terms of level, it should be about level 35.
However, this was the strength in the astral plane. It would be stronger in its nest. If it entered the main material plane, its strength would drop to level 30 or even lower. In the past, Soran might have been a little afraid of the strength of level 30. Now, with the Magic Particle Rail Cannon, all creatures were equal.
Even if it could withstand one shot, it would be another shot. The evil gods that came to the material plane could not withstand this kind of attack. As for the evil god's avatar, the strength of this avatar was only level 25. According to Suhlen's current strength, he could easily crush it. Sending an avatar here was basically sending food to Suhlen.
Suhlen's goal was to create an avatar with divine power. A divine avatar would have at least one point of divinity, and some would have more. This was a way to continuously obtain divinity. Even if the Evil God of the Heartless was killed several times and no longer fell for the trick, Su Lun could change to another evil god to continue this operation. Although he didn't know how many evil gods there were, there were at least hundreds of them even though the major churches didn't record it.
With so many Evil Gods, even if he only obtained a little Divinity each time, he would still be able to obtain over a hundred Divinity Points with over a hundred Evil Gods taking turns. Of course, after doing so, it would not be easy to deceive even more Evil Gods.
Of course, when he was strong enough and the Floating City was built, Suhlen would have no problem going to the Astral Plane to take out the Evil God's true body.
As for divinity, Suhlen also planned to get some for Hathaway and the others. Divinity was also very useful to them. To be honest, although the gods were powerful, there were too many restrictions. They had to fulfill their duties as gods, and at the same time, they could not leave the God's Kingdom at will.
Most of the time, they worked year after year, day after day. If they only worked for 180 years, it would be fine, but in fact, as long as the gods still existed, this work had to continue. This was simply worse than the 996s and 007s of modern society.
If the god's clergy was more terrible, such as the God of Death, he had to guide the dead to tidy up the underworld all year round. He didn't even have a day off (after all, there was no day when no one was immortal). There were many gods who controlled more than one or two clergies. The more clergies they controlled, the busier they were.
Therefore, some gods were tired of this work and wanted to resign, but they also had to find a successor. Therefore, some gods divided their clergies to others.
Among them, the best were the Mother Goddess of the Earth and the ancient God of Death, Jergal. As ancient gods who had survived from ancient times, their strength had long surpassed the great Divine Powers and become greater Divine Powers. Even if they were stripped of their clergies, their strength would not be reduced too much.
The Mother Goddess of the Earth divided all of her Priesthoods and gave them to her descendants. She then went into seclusion. The God of Death, Jergal, was even more cunning. He gave his Priesthoods to three people and then directly caused the death of the Three Gods of Death. They were the God of Strife, Bann, the God of Death, Mirko, and the God of Murder, Baal.
None of these three guys were easy to deal with. They directly caused the biggest chaos since the ancient gods retired and the destruction of the Arcane Kingdom. In this chaos, gods fell, and humans succeeded in becoming gods. For the God of Death, it was definitely a wonderful feast.
Suhlen was now only ready to get divinity. He had no interest in clergies and Divine Power at all. Whoever wanted to do this kind of work could do it.
All kinds of work in the Northern City were not suspended because of the snow. Instead, they took advantage of this time to start mass production of all kinds of materials. At the same time, a large number of people were sent to the new city for construction. After more than three months of development, the construction of the new city could be said to be changing with each passing day.
The original simple camp had become a small city, the size of the city was the same as Mirror Lake City. Now the construction of the houses and walls had been completed. Other kinds of public facilities would be slowly built later.
After staying in the Northern City for a few days, Suhlen returned to San Felto City through the transmission formation. There was no snow in San Felto City, but the weather had turned cold. Phyllis and Alex were in charge of the internal affairs during Suhlen's absence.
The few cities around San Filto City were now completely under their control. The nearby nobles who were still outwardly obedient but covertly opposed had also become well-behaved. One by one, they paid all the taxes for the year. According to the original system of the Kingdom of Florence, the nobles had absolute rights in their respective territories, but all the nobles had to pay taxes to the king.
Originally, the king of the Kingdom of Florence directly controlled about one-fifth to one-fourth of the entire kingdom. The other three major families together controlled about one-third of the kingdom's territory. The rest of the territory was controlled by nobles of various sizes.
However, this time, after Suhlen ascended the throne, many nobles rebelled. Some even acted as fence-sitters. For those rebelling nobles, Suhlen had decided to take back their territories. At the same time, the territories directly under the king needed to be adjusted. Although the territories directly under the king did not rebel, there were all kinds of small movements in private. The people who controlled these territories were originally trusted by King Henry. How much loyalty they had to Suhlen still needed to be considered.
Suhlen did not think that he was the master of destiny. After he ascended the throne, these people would be intimidated by his domineering aura and directly kowtow to him. Previously, these people had pretended to be obedient to him. Although he pretended not to see the small movements in private, it did not mean that he would not pursue it.
He spent two months re-recruiting and reorganizing the original army in San Felto City. He also incorporated the army from North Town into it. He wanted to form a fighting force as soon as possible and then use it to intimidate those people.
Next, Suhlen would replace those people bit by bit and then appoint his own people. It would definitely not be smooth sailing. Those nobles and officials would not give up their rights so easily. The army in his hands was the last resort.
If those nobles were willing to cooperate, Suhlen did not mind giving them some benefits. He even re-appointed them as officials after they were re-educated. If they were not willing to cooperate, he would directly take them down. If they dared to rebel, he would send the army to eliminate them.
San Felto City had recruited a little over twenty thousand people. This was after Suhlen brought some money from North Town City. The wealth in the palace and the wealth he plundered from the nobles were all invested in the reconstruction of the city.
Suhlen realized that the more territories he occupied, the less money he had. If it were not for the taxes from the nobles, Suhlen's funds would have almost run out.
After two months, the army in San Felto City was ready to fight. With these troops in hand, Suhlen's plan to take over the king's territory could also begin.
The nobles directly under the king were basically palace nobles. In the Kingdom of Florence, there were many types of nobles. The nobles with the highest value were those with powerful territories. The second type of nobles were the palace nobles. These nobles were appointed by the king or other nobles. They were usually the subordinates of the king and the nobles. They served the king and the nobles or managed the territory.
The third type of nobles were powerful professionals who were granted the title of nobles. As long as these nobles swore allegiance, they would be rewarded with manors and castles. They also had the opportunity to become hereditary nobles.
The fourth kind was honorary nobility, which was used for commendation or by donating a sum of money. It was the least valuable among all the nobles and was only a title. At the beginning, Su Lun spent money to buy the title of honorary nobility. Of course, this title also had some advantages, such as no restrictions on travel and some aristocratic privileges. These nobles' titles were only knights. They were lifelong. Most of the second sons of nobles who did not have the right to inherit were also honorary nobles.
Another type of nobles were development nobles. As long as one bought a development order, they could become a development nobleman. However, whether one could succeed in the end depended on their own ability.
Most of the king's territories were managed by the palace nobles who served the royal family. After the army was reorganized, Suhlen issued a transfer order to the royal territories closest to San Felto City. He asked the palace nobles in the surrounding cities to report to the king's city.
These cities were only sixty kilometers away from the nearest one. The furthest one was only eighty kilometers away. They were all medium-sized cities with a population of around thirty thousand people. After sending out the messengers, Suhlen ordered the army to prepare for war.
