Is it so easy for religion in another world to win?

Anyway, he was leaving, and what happened here had nothing to do with him.

Rand was comforting the villagers in the No. 3 hideout at this time. He couldn't tell them directly that he was going to kill the baron. If the news spread, the probability of the baron knowing the secret was small, but there was a risk.

In military operations, the importance of intelligence is self-evident.

And the most critical point is that if too many people knew about it, he would have a hard time explaining it afterwards. In this world, civilians attacking nobles is a serious crime among serious crimes. It is better not to be involved in this crime if you can avoid it.

Otherwise, the reputation of the noble camp may start from negative numbers in the future.

If fewer people know about it, it will be nothing. He can say that the baron died of diarrhea because he ate the wrong food on the road and was not used to the local climate.

Standing on the high ground of the No. 3 hideout, this time it was finally not Taner's shoulder. The situation was not very urgent, so Rand just stood on a relatively high platform.

Thanks to the support of materials and the guarantee of recovering property, the villagers finally no longer had the desperate look they had before.

"My Lord, will the Mother Goddess really recover our property for us?" a child asked. Because of Rand's kindness, the adults in the village did not instill hatred in the children, so the children trusted Rand quite a lot.

"Of course, as long as you work hard, the Mother Goddess will guarantee everyone's basic food and clothing." Rand confidently read out his new doctrine.

The first rule is to work hard and obey orders, so that you can eat enough and not be cold. In this era, nothing is more attractive than being well fed and clothed. Rand even thinks that with only the first doctrine, he can attract most civilians to join the church.

As for the second rule, the second one has not been thought of yet.

The doctrines sent to the villagers are only the first one, and there are also how to work, some tips for life, and pay attention to hygiene.

Although the villagers can't read, there will be missionaries reading new doctrines to them every morning to ensure that they can remember the fantasy medieval life guide currently summarized by Rand.

Rand especially emphasized the issue of hygiene. Although the Black Plague happened many expansion packs later, maintaining hygiene can effectively reduce the occurrence of diseases. So far, at least the situation of human and animal feces everywhere in the village has disappeared. According to Rand's requirements, feces are used as compost.

It's a pity that there are too few livestock, otherwise Rand could have started to prepare to implement the three-crop rotation system he learned from textbooks in his previous life.

However, Rand still does not recommend taking a bath, but only requires washing hands every day. In this cold land, taking a bath too frequently will greatly reduce the chance of survival.

After listening to Rand's words, the child nodded as if he understood.

Rational adults are still a little worried. After all, they have never heard that the taxes collected by the lord can be taken back.

But they still trust Rand very much, and Taran, the bandit village chief they have relied on for a long time, also highly praises Rand at this time.

Now Taran has spontaneously become a missionary of the Mother Goddess. The threshold for becoming a missionary is very low now, because the doctrine is only one page, and you can apply if you can read it all without mistakes.

Back to the hideout, all the participants are ready to go.

Twenty slingers, ten archers, and eight minotaur sword and shield soldiers. During this period, Rand is working hard to study the process of tanning leather. Unfortunately, the leather armor has not been developed in time. It is estimated that he will have to completely take over the baron's property before he has a chance.

With the help of Lysa, Rand has basically figured out the baron's military strength at this time.

Five fully armored knights and ten sword and shield guards are gone. Those miscellaneous soldiers were all dragged to the battlefield to be minced meat, but the knights and sword and shield guards are not miscellaneous soldiers. Be careful, otherwise there may be a lot of losses.

There was no exciting mobilization declaration, after all, they probably wouldn't understand it if it was said.

But all the soldiers knew that they were fighting for their own hideouts.

Moreover, almost all members of the den, including the minotaurs, believe in the Mother Goddess. Who would not like a god who can protect them from hunger and cold?

However, belief alone does not seem to be able to obtain the Mother Goddess's blessing. Rand still does not understand where the tentacles of Seth came from.

Anyway, he, who has seen the Mother Goddess, only has two very strange blessing abilities.

However, this blessing ability is still very practical and works well for animals. At least there will be more livestock in the den in the future, and there will be no worries about breeding. There is no need to worry about the livestock not being in heat. Anyway, he just blesses 2.

Under the dual consensus of faith and philosophy, although the number of people is small, it is already an army that fully trusts and obeys Rand.

Although the combat effectiveness is not particularly strong because it cannot be completely off-duty.

…

The baron of the Kingdom of Lunsa has left the castle at this time. Since he does not think he will be attacked at all, he normally packs a lot of bags and takes his personal guards to form a long convoy to return to Lunsa.

It can only be said that this time he really ate a lot of oil, and the loss was only some of the recruited miscellaneous troops.

He made a lot of money, and almost all the property of this baron was plundered by him. It is estimated that it will soon become a deserted land. This can also be regarded as a contribution to the kingdom. He successfully destroyed a baron of the Northern Alliance.

The new lord here will probably be dumbfounded when he takes over this place. Hahahaha, the baron couldn't help but laugh happily.

It can only be said that there is no harm without comparison. Although the military report took a long time to reach here, as a real baron, he still obtained a lot of gossip information.

Due to the fierce fighting on the front line, many familiar faces have lost their ability to speak forever, and even their bodies are gone. Many nobles have completely lost their wealth. It is hard to say whether they can keep their fiefdoms after returning.

So, the domestic situation will change after returning. After all, with so many nobles dead, there will be many unowned fiefdoms. Maybe he can go back to make a living.

After all, he has "made contributions" in this war.

Rand didn't know what the baron was dreaming about, but he was lying in ambush on his way. There are several ways to leave this baron territory and enter Lensa.

But if you want to let the baron team with their families, big bags and small bags, forming a huge convoy leave, there is only one way to go.

Rand is not worried about not being able to ambush people. Now he just needs to wait for the baron to come.

But in order to ensure that everything is foolproof, he still released Lysa to follow.

Recently, Lysa didn't know what ghost ideas she was thinking. She asked for very little reward. Rand was a little worried that she would hold back a big wave.

Chapter 30 Ambush

Lysa was watching the Baron's convoy from a very far distance. It was estimated that it would reach Rand's encirclement at noon today.

Ellie and Olenna stood behind Lysa, and they could not see anything.

Normal people do not have Lysa's eyes that are sharper than hawks, and can see details from such a distance.

At this time, they were whispering to each other: "Golden eyes, white hair, how did that Rand envoy abduct the ancient elves?"

Olenna looked at Ellie, who had completely put herself in the power of the den, and sighed: "I think it's similar to us, Ellie, do you really want to cooperate with this den?"

"Olenna, do you think this sect really can't cooperate?" Ellie turned around and looked at Olenna with her blue eyes.

Olenna took care of her when she was very young, and now she still treats her as a child.

But she is an adult and hopes to do something for her sister and everyone, such as the artifact buried in the ruins.

As for this cult den, they have recently visited den No. 1 and No. 3 under the leadership of Lisa, and even visited the ruins of den No. 2.

It was a thriving scene. She even asked for a copy of the den's doctrine. Although there were some things she didn't understand, she believed that there must be a very profound way of governance in it.

She even planned to take it back to her sister to see, maybe the national strength of the White Kingdom could be further improved.

It's a pity that this Rand envoy likes to hide his shortcomings very much. At present, only one page of the doctrine has been written. I heard from the paladin named Taner that the complete doctrine is a thick book.

I really want to know the content behind it.

However, the misunderstanding has been basically solved now. They now know the reason for the bloody and rotten smell of the corpse that night before.

It can only be said that the baron who is about to be ambushed by Rand is really not a human being.

This den is not as imagined, with human bones, flesh and blood, and altars for sacrifice.

To be precise, there seems to be an altar, right in the house where Rand lives. When she found out that the stone platform full of debris was the altar for sacrifice, she was still shocked for a while.

I don’t know what can be sacrificed, anyway, she can’t see what the altar is for.

Although Olenna cares more about Ellie, she has to admit that this is definitely not an evil place after walking around for a while.

She doesn’t think that Rand deliberately performed it for them. After all, it is impossible for every villager to have such good acting skills. She really saw the villagers’ happiness and trust in Rand.

Such a cult is countless times more dangerous than those real cults that only make mindless sacrifices, but it seems that this Mother Goddess sect cannot be simply called a cult. After all, they neither brainwash nor sacrifice, and even this time they attacked the nobles just to take back what they deserve.

Sighing helplessly, Olena agreed with Ellie's point of view: "Okay, but you have to inform Lord White King."

Ellie rolled her eyes: "Do you really want to spread our video?"

Olenna's face froze. If she hadn't said it, she would have almost forgotten about it. Since that night, she didn't dare to sleep with Ellie at night. Indeed, the agreement stated that the situation of the den could not be told to Lord White King.

But there seems to be a compromise: "We can only say part of it, such as meeting a smart and upright local lord, and we plan to cooperate with him."

Ellie looked at Olena in shock, and Olena blushed: "Are you really my dear Olena mentor? How did you become like this? I remember when I was a child, you often taught me not to lie."

Olenna's face turned redder, but after what happened with her students, she couldn't put on the airs of a mentor anymore, just whispered: "After all, the situation is like this, it's better to make some adjustments."

Ellie chuckled and said: "Don't worry, I will take care of everything, my mentor."

Then Lysa turned around, her pointed ears trembled, and said: "Are you going to participate in the war?"

Ellie rolled her eyes, and suddenly remembered that Rand said that food and accommodation were not free, and asked playfully: "Is there a reward?"

Lysa nodded, she could easily figure out Rand's thoughts. Compared with a little wealth, Rand must care more about the lives of the people in the den: "According to the market price of hiring the top and upper professionals, is it acceptable?"

Ellie nodded. Olenna had become a little weak now, so all the decisions were made by Ellie.

…

The baron was unaware of the ambush, and he was not in a hurry to leave the area. At noon, he arranged for the convoy to stop and start cooking. As a qualified noble lord, he could not neglect to enjoy himself at any time.

Under the baron's instructions, the team quickly stopped and started cooking. Just when they relaxed and the knights began to take off their helmets to prepare for dinner, Rand ordered an attack.

Taner put on his helmet and smiled a little sadly under his mask. He didn't expect that one day he would help the cultists attack the legitimate nobles of mankind.

He didn't ride a horse, but stood with the minotaur sword and shield. In a multiplayer battle, the role of personal force would be reduced.

The first batch of arrows and stones directly knocked down some knights and guards who were not able to react in time.

"Enemy attack!" The captain of the guards and knight reacted very quickly. In the first wave of attacks, he quickly arranged for people to hide behind the carriage, then took a longbow, bent the bow and put arrows on it, and aimed at the minotaur that rushed out.

"Damn, how could there be monsters?" The captain of the guards cursed inwardly. This scene was like the army of the Underdark counterattacking the surface.

The longbow was very powerful and could easily penetrate the wooden shield at close range.

But it was useless. Taner used a small shield to block the arrows shot at Shasa, and then locked his eyes on the captain of the guards.

Another wave of arrows and stones. This time, because many people hid behind the bunkers, the effect was not as good as before, but there were still unlucky people who were hit and fell down.

In the suppression of arrows and stones, the knights and guards who were difficult to form a queue were rushed to the front by the minotaur Gataner.

On the other side, Ellie put down her staff and complained, "It seems that we are not needed at all."

Lysa said indifferently, "Don't worry, the salary will be paid even if you don't do anything."

Ellie muttered, "Damn, it's as if I'm greedy for that little money."

Lysa continued to stare at the battlefield, smiling but not saying anything. She wanted to make sure she could provide support at any time to avoid the loss of the small population in the den.

The real knights were very powerful, but unfortunately Taner was stronger. With Taner as the vanguard, the team easily separated these soldiers who could not form a formation, and then slaughtered them all under the huge individual advantage of the Minotaur.

However, there was an exception. Everyone deliberately ignored the Baron who had not yet reacted. After all the threats were cleared, Rand walked out from behind the big shield, stood in front of the Baron, and smiled: "Do you know who I am?"

Chapter 31 The Baron's Death and Lysa's Desire (Sudden Outburst Extra Update)

Maybe because it rained a few days ago, the road was not dry at this time. On the slightly muddy ground, the fat Baron, who was dressed elegantly, fell to the ground in horror, looking up at Rand who was looking down at him.

Rand was standing, and his position just blocked the sunlight at this time. The shadow was cast on his face, so he couldn't see Rand's face for a while.

When the Baron was young, he might have been a brave and warlike knight, but now he is just a bloated pig. At least his ambition is not matched with his strength.

Seeing that the Baron did not answer, Rand continued to ask: "Do you know who I am?"

This sentence itself is meaningless, but Rand asked it again, because it was about to declare his rule over this land.

The baron shook his head in panic: "You, you, you can't kill me!"

"Why?"

Seeing that there was a chance, the baron immediately explained: "I am the baron appointed by King Lunsa. If you kill me, you will be an enemy of the entire Lunsa Kingdom!"

"But I am not from the Lunsa Kingdom." Rand laughed happily, "Why are you so anxious, Lord Baron? Isn't the armistice signed tomorrow?"

"Are you right?" Rand stepped on his arm with his foot and crushed it hard, causing him to scream in pain. "Since it is tomorrow, then it is still a wartime state, isn't it?"

Rand did not want to claim justice or say that he represented someone. He was unjust and plundered the baron just to make himself and his men live better.

However, it can be regarded as revenge for now.

"When you imposed huge taxes and asked the tax collectors to take away the villagers' last food, did you think you would suffer now?" Rand knew that the answer was bound to be unsatisfactory, but he couldn't help asking.

There was really nothing to blame. Standing in the position of the baron, it seemed that he had the power to do whatever he wanted, but Rand still didn't accept it emotionally.

So he asked a question that was destined to have no answer and was quite stupid.

"I, I can compensate you. There is still a lot of money and gold coins in my territory!" The baron dragged his fat body regardless of the pain in his arm, and then hugged Rand's legs with his arm that could move.

At this time, his noble dignity had disappeared.

"As long as you spare my life, any amount of money is fine, just let me go!" After saying that, he threatened again with a cowardly look: "If you kill me, the Kingdom of Rensa will definitely know. Our family has many old friends, and they will not let you go."

Rand sneered. When the war subsided, the nobles of the Kingdom of Rensa would fight among themselves to grab the fat meat of the territory. I would avenge you. Don't be funny.
