king of ros

Chapter 195
In the past five years, Rostislav has been thriving, and Lev's career has not shown weakness, and is also developing prosperously.

Ever since he saw Rostislav's pioneering in the wilderness and his powerful army, Warlock Lev realized that if he wanted to fight against the princely government, then he had to do something he didn't want to do, and he was unwilling to do things.

In Lev's view, if he did those things, then he was walking on the road of Rostislav. Although he could use any method to defeat the devil, it still put his conscience to the test.

But the fact is so cruel, Lev must accept.

The warlock first found a sufficiently safe and concealed base, and he knew such a place, this place is now the pagan holy land behind the hidden cliff, Veles Valley.

For many years, this holy place was only accessible to the pagan warlocks of Northeast Ross. This is the place where many warlocks passed on their knowledge. The chosen ones learn here, and in this way they carve gods and totems to serve the gods.

Warlocks will also gather here to exchange knowledge and news learned from each other.

This piece of land is very fertile. Surrounded by cliffs, there is a lake full of fish. The land is also very fertile, and planting is very convenient. As long as the seeds are sprinkled, the crops will grow vigorously by themselves.

The ascetic warlocks have always been self-sufficient here. Back then, Lev came here to study under the guidance of his teacher. After completing his studies, he traveled around, and finally returned to his hometown.

The warlocks of previous generations chose this land because of its danger, and Lev also realized the strategic significance of this land. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the location is hidden. There is also a long-standing pagan custom. Is there any place for it.

Originally, Lev didn't want to do this. After all, it was their long-standing holy land, but after seeing the powerful power of the Prince of Moscow, he found that he could only go this way.

All available resources must be used, and he has to do things that he was unwilling to do...

It's just that if this is to be done, it must be widely recognized, so Lev first convened a meeting of warlocks from the entire Northeast Ross to persuade the warlocks to agree with his decision.

It was not easy to gather so many warlocks. It took Lev a full year to gather the warlocks scattered everywhere. After all, many warlocks live in remote places, and many of them are used to living alone. willing to participate in such a rally.

Lev's opinion naturally aroused a lot of opposition, which is unheard of for everyone, but Lev has prepared for this for a long time, for this moment.

Then at the conference, Lev fought against the Confucian scholars and refuted opponents one after another, making everyone gradually agree with his point of view.

His qualifications and reputation also played a huge role, and many people here were influenced by Rostislav's actions of building a city in the wilderness and sending Christian missionaries, and most of them finally agreed with his decision.

At the same time, at this pagan conference, Lev did something unprecedented in the history of the sects of the gods, that is, to divide the teaching ranks, and to clarify the leadership relationship and scope of responsibility among the warlocks.

The opposition caused by this was a bit big. Two-thirds of the people directly opposed it, and some even yelled directly, clamoring that Lev was going to be their prince, a dictator, and that fucking Moscow Princes are like raccoon dogs.

Of course, few people take this kind of words seriously, but it can also show the anger of everyone.

They are all local toubobs, how can someone ride on their heads like this, honestly, can't I be a local tyrant?Why do you need to get yourself a superior.

As for the remaining one-third of supporters, they either have a serious sense of urgency, or the threat of Christian forces is imminent, and the power of their respective jurisdictions has been greatly threatened.

So they chose to obey, Lev is their only choice now, only under the leadership of Lev, they have the possibility of resistance.

But for Lev, this is already a huge victory. He was prepared to fall out, but he didn't expect to have so many people's support.

After acquiring a group of pagan warlocks as his subordinates, Lev's career developed very rapidly. The warlocks spread their influence everywhere, strengthened their guidance to the village community, and routinely collected materials from them, and then continued to absorb pious believers, and send them to this valley.

These devout believers in the valley will gain knowledge and guidance in battle. These were never possible in the past. After all, warlocks can rely on these to have power in the countryside, but now the situation has related to their life and death. Don't care about hiding things.

These learning items are summarized by Lev. He has seen the learning of Christian priests and understands that this summary is crucial for their future.

Moreover, Lev is still integrating the beliefs of the gods, recording myths and classics, and constructing a complete and logical worldview-to compete with Christianity, the level of religion must be raised.

It was all so that they could later serve as an organizing force when the tide came—Lev firmly believed that the Muscovite princes would eventually lead to that day, and when it came, it was their chance.

Let's turn our attention back to the present. Following Lev's order to summon the crowd, after a burst of bells, the believers in the entire valley gathered at the place of worship of the gods.

Everyone's faces were full of excitement, because the news that Rostislav had left Northeast Ross had already spread, and everyone was short of a confirmation of the information.

In the eyes of many people, Rostislav's departure is the best moment for them to set off an uprising, so they are extremely excited. They think that Lev, the pagan leader of the forest land, thinks the same way, overthrowing the damned prince This is the moment.

And Lev just looked at these excited faces calmly, waiting for the people to arrive.

Those men and women gathered under the statue of Veles, and the great god silently looked at everything below him. After everyone arrived, Lev also went straight to the point, pointing out the theme of the meeting.

"Seeing that everyone is so excited, I think everyone understands why the meeting was held. The prince of Moscow, Rostislav Vladimirovich, will leave the land of the forest. This has been confirmed."

After Lev finished speaking, he paused for a while to let everyone relax. He looked at those more excited faces, and then continued.

"I know that many people are very excited and think this is an opportunity, an opportunity to set off an uprising, but what I want to tell you is that this is not an opportunity. If we act rashly, we will fall into a situation where there is no redemption."

Lev's words were very calm, but they also represented great meaning. This undoubtedly gave all the fighters a blow in the head. They never thought that the warlock would actually say such a thing.

The field was immediately filled with whispers and people were discussing this, but as Lev raised his hand, everyone fell silent. Although everyone had great opinions on this decision, their obedience to Lev never wavered.

Lev's prestige among the crowd is unshakable. No matter what decision he makes, people will still follow him and follow the leader who created all this.

"I know everyone hates that damned prince in Moscow and wants him to die, but I have to tell you that we are still not strong enough to fight the prince. Remember when we dealt with Jan Vishadzic? In the case of a mole Now we have mobilized almost all the forces to barely hide our existence, do you really think that we can fight against the Prince of Moscow with this organizational strength?"

Lev's questioning was forceful, and those who were full of dissatisfaction just now were silent at this moment, because they all knew that what Lev said was true, and using their current strength to fight against Rostislav's army would be hitting a stone with a pebble.

"And the people are not ready yet. Although the oppression of the princes of Moscow continues to spread, most people still don't feel much. More precisely, everyone thinks that these are still within the acceptable range. For the people, if they can bear , then bear with it, confrontation will hardly benefit them."

Facing Lev's words, everyone was silent. Lev told them the bloody facts at this moment, and the whole atmosphere became depressed.

"Then when will we stand up and resist?"

Someone asked this at this time, and this was what Lev was waiting for. He knew that the future could not be rendered too gloomy.

"Soon, everyone, it will only take a few years at most, soon, everyone."

A smile appeared on Lev's face, as well as confidence, an extremely firm confidence. He was very clear about the urine of those rulers. Sooner or later, they would inevitably carry out the oppression that forced everyone to stand up and resist.
