Chapter 100: Changing the gods with human power!
People's hearts are broken and it's hard to lead the team.

Merlin was always well-served by Duncan, and there was even only one old guard in the cell where he was imprisoned. He could leave whenever he wanted, and no one could stop him.

But Merlin had no intention of escaping from prison.

He was imprisoned for nearly a month, and only Triss, the Raven Queen, came to see him a few times, mainly to check on his injuries. Later, Severus also came once and prescribed some herbs for him. After that, no one paid any attention to him, and they treated him as an idler who ate for free.

What was Merlin known for in Britain? A sage? A prophet? A legendary wizard?
When have I ever been looked down upon like this?
He had been in seclusion for more than half a month, and he had always believed that Duncan would come to see him on his own initiative, or even wanted to recruit him, so he deliberately ignored him. However, he did not wait for him, and was directly taken by the army to conquer the Kingdom of Camelot.

This battle almost overturned Merlin's cognition.

He served two generations of Camelot kings and boasted that he ran the Kingdom of Camelot like an iron barrel, and the people were all loyal to King Uther. However, he did not expect that he would face almost no resistance along the way. The chiefs of various tribes surrendered at the sight of him, and some even took the initiative to lead the way, and even sent troops to conquer those small tribes that refused to submit.

What the hell is going on?

Several military strongholds in Montgomery were captured by Gaillard and Chatwin together. The two indigenous chiefs assembled nearly a thousand troops, with more than a hundred indigo highland swordsmen leading the charge. These top mountain infantrymen of the Kingdom of Camelot made their own people scream in pain!

Every blow they made drew blood. They were the Welsh swordsmen like William Wallace of later generations.

loyalty!

Gaillard and Chatwin were eager to express their submission and to demonstrate their loyalty to the Governor by fighting bravely.

They were not as brave as they were when they followed King Uther to fight the Saxon pirates!

Merlin was completely numb.

Duncan used the empire as his banner, which inherently gave many tribal chiefs a reason to surrender. Their ancestors had submitted to the empire for more than four hundred years and had always been tribal autonomous regions. Now they could only be considered to have abandoned darkness and returned to the light under the banner of justice.

Attack the heart!

Duncan's series of actions were based on winning over the hearts and minds of the people. He used public opinion to discredit King Uther, and then used the coercion and inducement of his army, and the magnificent momentum to make many tribal chiefs surrender and be treated like cattle and horses.

This battle truly made Merlin realize Duncan's talent and strategy, which was far beyond what King Uther could compare with.

Just yesterday, he saw with his own eyes the law enforcement team chopping off a bunch of heads.

Merlin had never heard of or seen such a cruel act of killing one's own people. No matter whether it was the empire, the barbarians, or King Uther's army, they would not kill people to gain authority because of this military discipline.

This is Merlin's ignorance.

Duncan is imitating Boss Cao this time. Cao Cao cut off his own hair as a substitute for his head when he stepped on a wheat field. So what does it matter to Duncan chopping off the heads of some random soldiers?

Merlin has become a bit autistic anyway.

This time, let alone a prophecy, he couldn't even guess what Duncan was going to do. At first, he thought Duncan wanted to use his reputation to persuade the enemy to surrender, but he was just a follower along the way and did nothing. He just ate white rice every day and followed the army, seeing what he saw along the way, and following the law enforcement team to supervise military discipline.

Merlin has been eating and drinking well for so long without much exercise, and his face has become a little fatter.

It’s so deceiving!
Duncan was a legendary wizard, but he was treated like a pig and became quite fat.

What the hell did the British eat in the past?
Merlin lived this long.

It wasn't until he was imprisoned by Duncan that he finally got to taste the world's finest cuisine. (British cuisine, everyone knows.)
soon.

Merlin walked up with his head held high, escorted by two British druid priests. He was now certain that Duncan needed to take action himself, but he didn't know whether to persuade King Uther to surrender or other lords and knights to surrender.

But Merlin guessed wrong again!

Fuck prophecy!

Duncan had no intention of letting him come forward to persuade the king to surrender. He just wanted to kill King Uther. What was the point of persuading him to surrender? When the heavy catapults were built, he would blow the king to pieces.

With an army of 30,000, using local materials from the mountains and forests, building catapults is as easy as pie.

Duncan's expression was slightly amused. He pointed his whip at Merlin and said jokingly, "Do you think I want you to persuade King Uther to surrender?"

"Thinking too much."

"Come with me. You have something more important to do!"

"It's done."

"I give you freedom. You can leave or stay as you wish."

Merlin remained silent and took the initiative to follow.

Duncan's army was far ahead of its time, at least in terms of morale. He had never seen soldiers so eager to fight!

Those top elite troops, the British Imperial Legion, have not yet taken to the battlefield.

The previous battle was fought between the indigenous vassal army and the second-line legion. It felt like a military training exercise. Even the militia troops had the opportunity to pursue and join the battle.

Yesterday, an exile named Luo Lin was directly promoted to militia centurion for killing a small chief. (Unlike the centurions in regular legions, they are militia captains.)
Duncan's general guards quickly followed.

A pair of murderous eyes stared at Merlin, preventing him from making any unusual moves. The boy named Carl, who was only seventeen or eighteen years old, kept his hand on the hilt of the sword. If Merlin dared to move, he would swing his sword and chop him.

Not all Knights of the Round Table were willing to die for King Arthur, but almost all of these generals and bodyguards were willing to die for Duncan!

All two-star knight units.

Even Merlin in his prime would be chopped into pieces by the swords before he could cast a spell.

Duncan paid no attention to Merlin behind him. As he led his cavalry into the forest, groups of British Druid priests soon emerged, including Severus and even some old druids with white hair and beards. Together, they numbered over a hundred.

What is this going to do?
Merlin followed behind, also looking very surprised.

King Uther never gained the support of the Druids because he had massacred wizards, but the core faith parish of Avalon was Wales, where the holy land of Avalon was located.

Cornwall is the Sacred Grove of Avalon, other places are the Sacrificial Stone of Avalon, only here is the Sacred Precinct of Avalon.

The three levels of size of Celtic temples were the sacrificial stone, the sacred grove, and the sanctuary.

Nowadays!

Duncan was the one who truly unified the faith of Avalon.

In front of the crowd.

The Raven Queen, Triss, was dressed in a gorgeous priest robe, which gave her a unique look. She stared at Merlin with a cold gaze. Behind her, there were about six high-level druid guardians.

This brings together all the high-level spellcasters from the entire British Isles.

Duncan raised his whip and said to Merlin calmly, "Go."

"You should know what to do!"

Merlin stepped forward, looking at the Raven Queen Triss who had voluntarily given up her position. He was shocked and muttered, "You want to change Avalon's faith?!"

Changing the gods with human power!
This is an extremely grand sacrificial ceremony, which cannot be presided over by the Raven Queen Triss alone. She must rely on the power of other guardians of Avalon, and even Merlin, the Celtic prophet, to take action.

Dealing with King Uther is just a matter of convenience; he is not the real opponent.

Duncan attached much more importance to this sacrifice than King Uther!
In the dense sacred forest of sacrifice.

In the center of the Druid Circle, druid priests continued to emerge, and even a faint light invisible to the naked eye appeared around them. These were the spirits of the Avalon faith. This grand sacrifice had been prepared for some time, and it almost exhausted the power of the Druid Order.

Merlin walked to the center of the holy altar with his staff in hand. He knew what he should do. He was the host of the ceremony.

Waves of whispering and chanting were heard.

In addition to the druid priests, there were also bards who chanted new prayers. It was unknown when wonderful melodies began to float in the holy land.

Duncan retreated silently.

He entered the God's perspective of the dimensional space and observed the changes in the Avalon Sanctuary. As the grand sacrificial ceremony began, the figures of Avalon's guardian fairies also emerged. They leaned over from a distance and gestured in the direction of Duncan, and then the shadows merged into the huge rocks of the sanctuary.

The druids took their chisels and re-carved ancient inscriptions and the forbidden oaths of Celtic mythology on the boulders.

In this vast sacred forest, hundreds of druids began to get busy. They chanted and carved symbols on the oak trees. At some point, the laws of reality were broken, and the nearby plants and trees began to show an unusual vitality.

"A sacrificial ritual in the Holy Land has been detected!"

"The power of law has been detected."

With Merlin as the main figure and Triss, the Raven Queen, as the auxiliary, this grand sacrifice gradually entered its climax.

Teams of druid priests offered grains to the altar.

They disappeared little by little out of thin air.

Then, on the huge rocks on all four sides of the sanctuary, the druid elders had carved rune patterns that looked like ears of wheat, with farm tools as embellishments next to them.

"Detecting the transformation of the [Agriculture] priesthood!"

"Divine-level energy fluctuations detected."

In the projection image of the dimensional space, the fairies of Avalon reappeared one by one. Their appearance seemed to have changed. They were no longer as beautiful and enchanting as the fairies in the lake, but had a hint of maternal gentleness, just like the graceful and beautiful women after giving birth to children. They seemed to have less evil aura and more the temperament of a righteous god.

Avalon Sanctuary of Fertility (Converting) [Advanced Temple]: Agricultural output +3, increased agricultural yields, reduced natural disasters, small chance of a good harvest, etc.

The Faith of Avalon is converting its core portfolio.

As the guardian fairies of the Avalon faith, they have transformed agriculture into their core ministry. The teachings of the Druid Order will also change. In addition to preaching, they will be committed to the development of agriculture. The Druid Trial will also change. One must master certain agricultural techniques to become a formal Druid.

The supernatural powers bestowed by the sanctuary change.

The Avalon Sanctuary will no longer provide additional morale buffs, and the other Avalon Sacred Groves and Sacrificial Stones will be transformed into fertile fields, enhancing local agricultural output and cultivating outstanding farmers, gardeners, herbalists, and others.

Use the power of mortals to change the faith in gods!
Above the Sanctuary of Avalon, the expressions of the guardian fairies became gentle and loving, as if they were daughters serving the Mother Earth. This would be their new appearance. The guardian fairies bowed slightly towards Duncan's back in salute, and soon disappeared in the mist.

today.

The entire Avalon's faith has completely transformed!

All the Avalon sacrificial stones have lost their original functions, and they will focus on agriculture and farming. At the same time, a large number of druid doctrines have also changed. Druids will use helping local agricultural production as their core missionary model.

This is the direct lower level route.

In the past, druids served more as advisors to chiefs, nobles, and warriors, but now they have set their sights on the lowest-level farmers.

King Uther is nothing, Duncan went to so much trouble just for this moment!
