Chapter 289 Since You See Us as Aliens, Be Prepared to Be Ruled by Aliens
Richard had gone to other worlds before, but he didn't interfere too much in that world, unless some people or behaviors made him unhappy or uncomfortable. This time, he saw the persecution of spellcasters in this world, as well as materials such as anti-magic metals.

The witches controlled the surrounding towns, made them pay taxes, and drafted a large number of adult men, who were incorporated into the army and trained.

Richard directly used mind control on these people, and all the soldiers' loyalty was fully raised. The powerful power of the Mind Stone allowed Richard to easily enslave tens of millions of people.

[Mind Shackles: Use the power of the Mind Gem to forcibly distort the mind and consciousness of the controlled person, permanently and effectively affecting all controlled creatures. To break free from control, you must perform a casting judgment with the Mind Gem.]

After Richard took control of all these people, he began to conduct military training. At the same time, he selected those with excellent physical fitness from these people and began to conduct special training.

In order to improve their strength as quickly as possible, Richard transformed the bloodlines of these people and made them into bloodline knights.

There were also a large number of demonized creatures living in this world. Although there were no giant dragons, there were still flying dragons. Richard caught a few flying dragons and extracted blood from their bodies to purify and refine it.

In the end, a large number of secondary dragon blood potions were produced. This kind of dragon blood potion has almost no casting ability and can only enhance strength and physique. Even dragon breath will not appear. After all, these flying dragons are too weak.

By selecting strong people and using dragon blood potion to forcibly enhance their strength, a large number of people soon became knights, and then these people were used as the backbone to train the entire army.

Richard occupied the eastern city of Aedirn, Eisenland. This world was still in the Middle Ages and was developing slowly. There were not many large cities. In the hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land in Aedirn, there were only a few cities such as the capital Vengerburg, Guleta, Edelsberg, Eisenland, and the rest were small towns.

After occupying Eisenland, Richard did not continue to expand outward. He needed to build up armed forces as soon as possible to consolidate the foundation. At the same time, he officially announced the establishment of the United Empire of Austrian Magic, stipulated that Zoroastrianism was an illegal cult, and stipulated that female sorcerers were members of the National Parliament. It was stipulated that as long as witches declared their allegiance, they could enjoy the rights of normal citizens in the United Empire of Austrian Magic.

Following Richard's orders, the witches began to lead the newly formed army to clean up the towns and noble territories around Eisenland. At Richard's request, the nobles were to be resolutely cleared out.

How can he distribute land to his subordinates without cleaning out these nobles?

Jie Xi led a newly formed army to an earl's territory and headed straight for the earl's castle. The witch Jie Xi was accompanied by ten bloodline knights and a fully armed army behind her. Although they were newly formed and their combat effectiveness was not high, they would naturally become elite after several battles.

Jesse waved his hand, and a bloodline knight beside him rode directly to the foot of the castle.

"Listen up everyone inside. We are the army commanded by the witch lady Jessi of the Offa United Empire. Lay down your weapons and surrender now. We can guarantee your safety. If you refuse, after the city is captured, everyone will be punished as a slave!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in armor came out and said, "All of you witches who have made deals with the devil should be sent to the stake! This is the land left by my ancestors. Don't even think about making us surrender!"

"I will cut off all your heads and hang them on the city walls, and burn that witch at the stake."

"Boom!"

A huge fireball flew over instantly and hit the castle gate directly. The intense heat and explosion directly shattered the castle gate, and even the surrounding walls were blown down.

"Attack!" Jesse didn't even wait for the count to finish his words and launched the attack directly.

"Those who are unwilling to submit will be killed without mercy!"

"Kill all the rebels!"

As soon as the words fell, the army that had been waiting for the order immediately launched a charge. Under the leadership of the Blood Knights, the army was unstoppable. The soldiers in the castle had been frightened by the huge explosion just now, so how could they be a match for the Blood Knights?

About an hour later, the entire castle was occupied by the army. All the noble men who were not dead were captured, and the women were imprisoned as trophies to be rewarded to brave warriors.

All the gold, silver, jewelry, food, weapons, armor, craftsmen, war horses, and livestock in the castle were counted and transported back to Eisenland.

According to Richard's request, all the heretics, fanatics, and nobles who were taller than the wheel were beheaded, and the rest were punished as slaves.

same time.

In another direction, Jesse led his army and attacked the earldom.

Karina led her army and started to attack another town.

"Surrender or die!"

"You can pick one!"

The mayor and villagers looked at the witch outside the city and the army behind her, and said tremblingly: "Dear witch, we are willing to surrender."

Looking at the fearful eyes of these people, Karina felt comfortable in her heart. You know, she didn't dare to reveal her identity in the town before. Even the poorest people regarded them as aliens and ominous people.

They would slander, insult, and attack them, and no matter how they tried to please these people and try to fit in, they would always regard them as aliens. They would also try every means to seize their wealth and burn them to death together with those Zoroastrian fanatics.

Now these witches have completely figured it out. Since you regard us as aliens, ominous people, and the source of disaster, then we will become the real disaster! We will completely enslave you! We will make you fearful and terrified.

Why do we have to put ourselves in a difficult position? Why do we have to suffer discrimination and persecution?

Now these witches have fully awakened. Instead of being plundered, persecuted, and discriminated against, it is better to let others be oppressed, scared, terrified, and die!
"Hand over all Zoroastrian cultists, all witch hunters, and pay all taxes!" Karina said directly.

"No!" Many townspeople were Zoroastrians and objected.

"Lady Witch, there are many people here who believe in Zoroastrianism. We are willing to pay more taxes." said the mayor.

"Boom!" A fireball instantly hit the town gate and directly blew it open.

"This is an order, not a negotiation!" Karina said coldly: "Attack!"

"Kill all the rebels, cultists, fanatics, and witch hunters!"

As the order was given, the army, led by the Blood Knight, launched an attack directly.

after an hour.

The town was completely controlled by the army. All Zoroastrians, fanatics, and witch hunters, except those who were dead, were captured and sent to the center of the town. The next step was to repeat the same operation as before. Those who were taller than the wheel were killed, and the rest were all made slaves. When executing this order, someone even suggested that the wheel be laid flat, but Richard rejected it. After all, the mine still needed a large number of slaves.

Richard had the witch and the blood knight lead the army to quickly sweep across the eastern region of the Kingdom of Aedirn. In just one month, all the nobles and towns in the entire eastern region surrendered or were wiped out.

At the same time, a large number of witch hunters, Zoroastrian priests, pastors, and fanatics were arrested, and then the punishments they had once used on witches were re-inflicted on them.

Finally, burn all these people to death in the squares of various places! Richard does not intend to rule the world with benevolence. Those ignorant people will not be grateful to you for this, they will only think you are weak.

After mobilizing a large number of adult men, Richard quickly formed an army of 20,000 people. Of course, these troops were actually just for show without much training.

Richard handed these soldiers over to the bloodline knights for training, while on the other hand, he selected the best soldiers from these soldiers for bloodline transformation.

At the same time, orphans were collected from all over the country and brought to Eisenland for collective management. Richard had people educate these orphans and teach them the Knight's Breathing Method to train reserve forces.

Since Blood Knights are quick-learning versions, their upper limit is basically the upper limit of their bloodline. Most of them can only become Great Knights, not even Earth Knights, let alone Legends.

In contrast, these children who use the Knight Breathing Technique have the potential to become legendary knights. Of course, even if they become legends, they are only upgraded from cannon fodder to thugs.

Although Richard taught the Knight's breathing method, he also imposed restrictions on it. To break through the Knight level, one needs to use Green Potion, to break through the Great Knight, one needs to use Azure Potion, and to break through the Earth Knight, one also needs the Heart of the Earth Potion.

Of course, you can choose not to use the potion, but the result is that the chance of breakthrough is very high. At the same time, control the spread of the Knight's Breathing Method.

The entire knight class can become nobles, officials and ministers of the empire, but must be controlled by the emperor of the empire.

The witches and wizards in this world are basically congenitally awakened sorcerers. After being improved by him, some of these sorcerers will stay here to maintain the normal operation of the country, and some will be taken back to the floating city by Richard as labor.

A large number of slaves were sent to the mines, and grain from all over the country was sent to Eisenland as military rations. Craftsmen were uniformly arranged to build weapons and armor using an assembly line work model.

The army was also seizing the opportunity to train. At the same time, Richard asked the witches to send invitations to witches from all over the continent, inviting them to come to Eisenland to join the Witch Mutual Aid Association and the United Empire of Austria.

Soon, news of what happened in Aisenland spread quickly. The Kingdom of Aedirn never expected that the witches would rebel and establish a country here, and the Nilfgaard Empire in the south felt that this was an opportunity. The Kingdom of Redania and the Kingdom of Temeria in the north were shocked when they learned the news from Aedirn.

The witches dared to kill nobles, destroy the Eternal Flame Church, and kill a large number of Eternal Flame missionaries and witch hunters. This made these countries angry, but after the anger, there was fear.

Each piece of news is more shocking than the last.

They knew too well that they had persecuted witches for decades. They had dealt with witches because they had great power, and then used rumors, slander, and forgeries to attack witches, inciting civilians to be hostile to witches, using witches to divert conflicts, and then hunting down witches.

Now that these witches have united to resist, they have realized that they must exterminate the witches as soon as possible. Therefore, under the coordination of the Church of the Eternal Fire, the northern countries have launched a more severe witch-hunting campaign and are preparing to send troops to help Aedirn suppress those witches.

As the country most determined to hunt down witches, the Kingdom of Redania had the biggest reaction after hearing the news about the witches. In all the taverns, there were large numbers of witch hunters clamoring to form a team to go to Aedirn to hunt down the witches.

Vengerberg Palace, Aedern.

King Demavi was conferring with the great nobles of the kingdom.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's start the meeting now!"

"Then please allow Count Pittman to tell us about the specific situation in Eisenland first!" said the middle-aged man sitting on the other side, who was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and had a slightly bloated figure.

"Your Majesty, and fellow nobles, what I am going to talk about today concerns our future."

"Just a month ago, a group of witch mutual aid organizations appeared. They first attacked some towns and then killed the rebels, Zoroastrian priests, witch hunters, etc. in the towns."

"Then they asked the towns to submit to them, pay taxes, and mobilized a large number of adult men in the towns to form an army."

"Next, they attacked other towns around Eisenland, as well as large and small noble territories, and captured Eisenland."

"You said that their makeshift army broke through the territories of those nobles and Eisenland?" another great noble in the hall suddenly asked.

"Yes, their army was completely formed on the spur of the moment." Pittman said after a moment of silence.

"This is impossible!"

"How can a newly formed army have such a strong fighting power that it can break through the castle of the nobles and the Great Eisenland with tens of thousands of residents?"

"Besides, aren't those witch hunters experts in dealing with witches? Where are they?"

Facing these people's doubts, Pittman sighed and said, "Because those witches have found a way to counter the anti-magic bombs, the witch hunters' anti-magic bombs can no longer interfere with their spellcasting."

"At the same time, they also received help from a large number of demon hunters. According to estimates, at least hundreds of demon hunters have joined them."

"Demon Hunters? It's those damn bastards again. Last time they interfered in the war between countries and attacked politicians from various countries. Didn't they say they would kill all the people from the Demon Hunter School?"

"Although we destroyed the Demon Hunter School, there are still many Demon Hunters in various places. Some Demon Hunter Academies are hiding in remote places, and we can't get close to them."

"Those bastards should be wiped out!"

"Now these bastards have joined forces with the witches! Should we mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress them next?"

Watching the discussion, King Demawi asked, "My general, how many men can we mobilize now?"

"Your Majesty, we now have 5,000 troops and 1,000 cavalry in the capital. If we have enough time, we can mobilize 10,000 soldiers and 3,000 cavalry."

"You should also prepare to mobilize the troops! Those witches must be exterminated as soon as possible!"
