"Loyalty …"
Inside the Iron Castle, Wu Ming looked down at the flags fluttering in the wind and the training slogans getting louder and louder each day, and a mysterious smile appeared on his face.
Under this Western-style feudal system, the slaves and the feudal lords were connected by land, and they were actually dependent on each other. It was the same for knights and barons, and it was the same for minor nobles and major nobles. The hierarchy was strict and hierarchical.
However, once the population started to move without the restriction of land, and the people's intelligence was awakened, this kind of dependent relationship became ridiculous.
Wu Ming had high hopes for these workers.
Without chains on their bodies, they dared to wave their weapons at the former slave masters and nobles!
In fact, this was the same as Wu Zhi's plan to conquer the Spiritual State and use the refugees as his main force to reorganize his army and control the emperor.
Perhaps the other slaves still feared the nobles, but Wu Ming was sure that his subordinates would be the least fearful except for the ogres.
Unfortunately, he couldn't use the ogres as his army and isolate himself from the humans.
In the future, his subordinates might become corrupted and walk the path of the old nobles after they were conferred titles, but so what?
Wu Ming would get what he wanted, and that was enough!
…
He returned to his bedroom and sat cross-legged on the big bed.
"Power of the People …"
Wu Ming quietly recalled the information about the Conquest King's Thale Inheritance.
The Power of the People was a variant of the path of faith, and it was similar to gathering the fate of the masses.
It focused on using the body of a king to gather the hope of the people and combine it with the general trend to make one's own path extraordinary.
After all, one's cultivation couldn't compare to the combined efforts of the masses. It was even more so in the Seer Continent where supernatural power was highly restricted.
"Using order to subdue the subjects and gain respect or fear isn't limited to pious faith …"
In Wu Ming's eyes, the Power of the People was the combination of the faith and fate of the masses. It had incredible power and could affect matter with pure spirit.
To cultivate this power, it was best to do it in one's own territory where one's authority was the strongest.
"This is a cultivation technique tailor-made for Monarchs. Ordinary commoners wouldn't be able to use it at all …"
Wu Ming began to meditate in his Sea of Consciousness.
The first step in the cultivation of the Power of Ten Thousand People was to build a 'King's Heart' in one's body. At the beginning, one needed to use various hand gestures and drawings to aid in meditation. Only then would one be able to control one's mind and body precisely.
To many people, this step was extremely difficult, and it was like a natural chasm. However, to Wu Ming, it was no different than cultivating the Dao Heart, and he passed it with ease.
"The first step is to control the mental and physical energy!"
"The second step is to construct energy channels throughout the body …"
Wu Ming directed his mental power and slowly opened up channels in his body, covering his entire body like meridians.
This was a compulsory course for martial artists, and in his opinion, it was extremely easy.
"Different paths lead to the same destination. The more I see, the easier it is to comprehend by analogy …"
He sighed in his heart. Not long after, bright spots of light flickered in his body, connecting to form brand new energy channels. "The last step is to construct a 'King's Heart'. Only then can I use it as a foundation to gather the Power of Ten Thousand People!"
As for the location of the King's Heart, Wu Ming chose his heart.
Crack!
As soon as this thought appeared, a large number of networks pierced into his heart like tentacles, surrounding it like a fishing net, forming another type of core network.
A golden cocoon of light appeared around his heart, and it started to beat slightly like a second heart.
Thump thump!
Wu Ming's body trembled, and he felt the energy network in his body pulsate twice.
Thump thump!
The sound of his heart beating became louder and louder, and it could be heard clearly in the outside world.
Many energy networks were activated, and like blood vessels, traces of energy started to surge, forming a special cycle.
Boom!
In an instant, Wu Ming sensed all kinds of surging power in the void through this layer of network.
Golden spots of light, carrying all kinds of emotions, entered his body like moths darting into a flame like fireflies.
"The Lord is a good man!"
"There's going to be a war, I hope it won't affect us!"
"Fight for the Lord!"
"He's a butcher, an executioner! How many people have been hanged since he became the Lord? "
…
Within the golden spots of light, there were traces of gray and black aura, which were also absorbed and turned into thousands of emotions, attacking Wu Ming's mind.
"How can mere emotions affect me?"
Wu Ming slowly dispelled these extreme emotions with the power of the Divine Dao, leaving only the purest spiritual energy and providence, which were absorbed by the golden cocoon of light around his heart through the circulation of his body.
"Facing the entire continent alone is the responsibility of a true King!"
He stood up abruptly, and his pupils turned completely golden.
"Is this … the power of the people?"
Wu Ming looked inside his body, and saw that the golden light was quickly absorbed by the cocoon of light, turning into a layer of golden liquid. His heart stirred.
"Extraordinary!"
His consciousness slightly adjusted the golden light, and he immediately felt his whole body greedily absorbing and devouring this power. His body, which had already reached the limits of mortals, actually started to grow again.
Power that surpassed the limits of a race was extraordinary!
Wu Ming was silent for a while, then he snapped his fingers again.
Crack!
On his finger, a blue light suddenly appeared, turning into a layer of snow-white frost.
Only blue-blood nobles could awaken the power of frost that was passed down from the Blue Dragon Thale!
He had studied this power the most, so he could imitate the power of the people just by using it slightly.
"I can try the witches' writings and voodoo spells from Carlitan. I should be able to use a few spells …"
Wu Ming let out a long breath, deeply understanding how extraordinary the power of the people was.
It could be turned into physical strength, it could also be turned into extraordinary power for spells, and it could even be added to an artifact, causing it to undergo a qualitative change.
It could be used to heal, defend, and attack!
It was the beginning of everything, and also the end of everything. It was almost at the same time as the world.
"In essence, it's already very close to the power of the world …"
Wu Ming raised his eyebrows.
He had to admit that the existence that had left behind the power of the people was really amazing. If it was Thale, then it must have reached rank 6.
"Perhaps this inheritance was also obtained by Thale from somewhere else …"
Wu Ming couldn't help but recall the legends of the Thel World. In the vast and mysterious ancient times, there were ancient dragons and giant snakes.
If the legends were true, then the original level of this world might not be lower than the Dazhou World!
Pa pa!
On the square.
Wu Ming was wearing a training robe. He moved his legs casually, and his every movement caused slight explosions.
"Double!"
After a long time, he stopped moving and thought to himself, "The power of the people in Karros has not only allowed my body to surpass its limits, but it has also given me twice the strength, speed, and regenerative abilities of my previous limit!"
At his original limit, he could use his skills to kill a knight. Now that his attributes had doubled, his strength was not as simple as just doubling.
"It's a pity … this is the end. If I want to improve further, I have to expand my territory and use laws and rules to control more land and people. Otherwise, I have to quietly wait for time to accumulate."
Wu Ming looked at the cocoon of light. There was still a layer of golden liquid left.
This was his reserve, used to cast spells or heal injuries. Naturally, he couldn't use it all to improve himself.
"But … with my current strength, it's almost enough to unify the Wind Fireflies Plains!"
Wu Ming clenched his fist.
The terrifying thing about the power of the people was that it didn't need the ruler to deliberately train. As long as he continued to expand his territory, his strength would naturally increase.
This was a time of war!
For a ruler who was preparing to expand his territory, was there any power more suitable than this?
"My Lord!"
At this moment, a few people walked over to the field. Jack, Ava, Beatrice, and Marlett were among them.
"All of you … come at me together!"
Wu Ming's hands were empty. "Use all your strength! Weapons too! "
"Could it be …"
Jack's eyes narrowed, and then he actually waved the blood steel greatsword and charged.
Bang!
The greatsword passed through an afterimage without any hindrance. Jack immediately felt a pain in his waist. He was kicked, and his entire body flew backward.
He looked around in horror and saw Marlett on the ground. Ava looked at the greatsword that had been knocked out of his hand, stunned. Beatrice's hands exuded a cold aura. She maintained her forward motion, but one of her hands was already on her fair and delicate neck.
"My Lord, you've undergone the Knight Baptism?!"
Jack blurted out.
Although Sir William was also a powerful warrior, the distance between them wasn't as terrifying as it was now.
"I've already transcended!"
Wu Ming was satisfied with his combat ability. He looked at Ava and Marlett, who were in a daze. "Come here!"
"My Lord!"
The two immediately went forward and knelt on one knee.
"Are you willing to become my vassals and serve as my knights in the future?"
Wu Ming asked solemnly as he pulled out the blood steel greatsword and tapped on their shoulders.
"We are willing!"
Ava and Marlett answered without hesitation.
"Very good … I'll take you in as my vassals. I hope that you will uphold the path of loyalty and offer me your strength and longsword. I will also fulfill my duties as a lord and reward you!"
After a simple and solemn ceremony, Wu Ming threw two jars to them. "Hurry up and undergo the baptism. Make contributions in the war and become my knights!"
"Could this be … holy oil?!"
Ava and Marlett's hands were trembling.
