He is the Lord of MC, not the God of Light!

Chapter 23 23. Send a few zombies as gifts
Treetop City west of Blackwater City.

In a magnificent castle, two nobles with pot bellies and gorgeous clothes were tearing roasted animal meat without any manners.

The gray-haired man narrowed his eyes slightly and stroked the sapphire on the gold ring.

"According to the time, it should have already started in Blackwater City."

"Maybe it's over already."

The other fat blond noble chuckled.

"Can it be done? Don't let that little bastard get away again..."

A hint of viciousness flashed across the gray-haired noble's eyes, and he added:
"That old fellow is quite powerful. He single-handedly resolved the ambush outside Songlan City last time. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been such a huge hassle."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine this time!"

The blond noble smiled confidently, pulled the maid over, and began to grope her body with his greasy hands.

"That old fellow is just as soft-hearted as that old immortal Phobos. He couldn't even hold his knife tightly against those untouchables."

"Once a riot breaks out, that old man and his adopted son will be separated from the untouchables."

"To ensure safety, I have also asked someone to find the Blackwater City Defense Force. If necessary, they will join forces to stop the others."

"In the surging crowd, they will all be scattered, and then we can get that little bastard..."

The blond noble gestured with his neck and laughed.

"Then we can rest easy."

Hearing this, the gray-haired noble couldn't help but frown and let out a slightly relieved smile.

"Keep the maids around that little bastard. My son has been missing them for a long time."

As he spoke, the gray-haired noble sneered.

"They're just a few lowly maids. I tried to buy them from that short-lived bastard before, but not only did he refuse to sell them, he even accused me of something with a pretentious tone!"

"For a few bitches, he actually insulted a noble aristocrat! He deserves to die early! This time, bring those bitches back to me, I will discipline them myself!"

The blond noble chuckled.

"Don't worry, as long as that little bastard dies, the last of the Phobos family's inheritance will be ours. It's just a few maids..."

Perhaps because he was getting excited, the blond nobleman couldn't help but use a little more force.

The maid screamed, and the plate in her hand fell to the ground with a clang, and the glass cup shattered all over the floor.

For a moment, the place fell into silence.

When she came to her senses, the maid was horrified and knelt down in panic.

"Master, have mercy on me! Master, have mercy on me!"

The blond noble glanced at the glass fragments on the ground that were emitting colorful rainbows under the sunlight, and waved his hand with a smile.

"It's okay, clean up and go down."

"Thank you so much, Master!"

The maid crawled over tremblingly.

The next moment, a vicious palm wind came from above his head.

Bang!
Accompanied by a dull explosion, a headless corpse appeared here.

The blond nobleman smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe the scarlet off his hands.

"In short, this arrangement is foolproof. We just need to wait for good news from over there."

"Once that little bastard dies, we'll officially move into Songlan City. I'll host a banquet at my mansion then, and you must be so kind as to come."

The gray-haired nobles smiled and raised their glasses in a toast from afar.

"Ah! Let me go first. I've already contacted the Third Prince, and he has agreed to attend the banquet."

"Oh? You're ready early!"

The blond noble laughed and raised his glass:
"Celebrate our removal of the obstacle! Move into Songlan City!"

"Join us! Rejoice together!"

The crisp sound of wine glasses clinking rang out, and the two men raised their glasses and drank them all. In the corner where they couldn't see each other, their eyes were equally vicious.

"Old man... you'll be the next one to die!"

There are thousands of waves in my heart, and I can't help but call you brothers.

The evil of human nature seems to be fully promoted among the nobles.

……

"Cleveland, Lehman..."

Looking at the two names on the note, Ian's eyes were as calm as water.

"The Cleveland and Lehman families are both earl families, but they were slightly weaker than our Phobos family in the past."

After returning from recruiting believers, Layar sat on Ian's left and said softly:

"Both the Cleveland and Lyman families have their territories in Treetop City."

"Both clan leaders are knights, but compared to the old master, let alone me, their strength is far inferior."

"Not long ago, they were the most active force in attacking our Phobos family and driving us out of Songlan City."

At this point, Layal's face was filled with hatred.

"During the Fourth Anti-Demon War, it was the old master who saved the lives of these two old dogs on the front line of the Principality of Birka. Otherwise, these two families would have been wiped out long ago."

"Now that the old master has disappeared, they can't wait to repay their kindness with hatred and even want to wipe out the entire family? What beasts!"

Ian put the note on the candle and burned it, and said softly:

"That's human nature."

The riot by the people of Blackwater City was indeed premeditated.

Even when Ian and his team were on their way to Blackwater City, these people had already arrived to make arrangements.

As Ian expected, the three captains of the city defense force had all come into contact with people from these two families.

They let all the city defense forces disband and rest today, hoping to take advantage of the chaos during the riot to wipe out the Phobos family.

Ian understood this matter as soon as he saw the names of the two families, and he didn't need Harun to explain it.

"Master Ian, what are your plans?"

Layal pondered for a moment and whispered:
"I understand. Our Dawn Divine Cult has just established itself in Blackwater City and gained the support of the people. Logically speaking, now is a good opportunity for development."

"But these two ruthless families are capable of such acts. Naturally, they won't sit idly by and watch us continue to develop. As expected, there will be other actions next."

"Do you want me to go for a walk?"

Ian leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes and thought. After a long while, Ian said calmly:
"It's a trip. I'm not worried about thieves stealing, but I'm worried about thieves thinking about it. It's quite troublesome to have these things causing trouble all the time."

"But I'm not asking you to go and behead them. Even though those two old guys aren't as strong as you, Treetop City is their base camp after all. I'm afraid you won't be able to return."

"What's more, things haven't been peaceful lately. The Abyss Demons have been appearing more frequently, and Blackwater City needs to be guarded."

Leal was not in a hurry. After the trip to MC, he now trusted Ian very much.

Just looking at Ian quietly, waiting for his next words.

The next moment, Ian opened his eyes.

"Go back to the MC world tomorrow and capture some zombies. Then, send them to Canopy City."

Layal was stunned for a moment and hesitated:
"These zombies shouldn't be able to kill them, right? Even though they are very strong."

"Without your physical bonus, Master Ian, it would be difficult for me to deal with these zombies in the Rodri Continent, but there are thousands of troops in Treetop City."

"Grind them to death."

Ian grinned and said faintly:
"I didn't intend for the zombies to kill them. Anyway, you'll understand when the time comes."

Throw the zombies into the Treetop City. With their strength, they will surely hurt many people who don't understand the characteristics of zombies before they die.

Once injured, those who don’t have Ian’s physical bonus are no match for the Treetop City nobles of the villagers in the MC world.

They will all be infected and become like zombie villagers.

Don’t the Clevelands and the Lehmans like to use people power?

It is impolite not to reciprocate, and Ian also let them see what true people power is.

I hope the zombie plague will satisfy them.

Ian thought about more than that.

Killing is the most despicable method.

Apart from venting one's anger, it is useless and does not conform to the requirements of the church's long-term development.

Treetop City is only three days' ride away from Blackwater City, which is why the Cleveland and Lehman families were able to make arrangements in Blackwater City in advance.

There is a huge plain between the two cities, which is very suitable for farming.

When the zombie plague in Treetop City becomes serious, it will even affect ordinary people.

Ian led the Dawn Cult Paladins to attack and purify Treetop City in the name of Dawn.

When the time comes, Ian can always pull out a splash potion of weakness and a golden apple.

Rescue those innocent people in front of the people of Treetop City and show the miracle of dawn.

Treetop City will immediately become the next faith farmland of the Dawn Cult.

Thinking about it this way, Ian was quite grateful to Cleveland and the Lehman family for giving him the reasons for expansion.

The demons are rampant and the people are suffering.

Since the Alliance of Hundred Races has been unable to deal with the demons, it should step down and let the Dawn Divine Cult take over.

Recovering his thoughts, Ian looked at Layal.

"How was recruiting today?"

"very perfect!"

A smile also appeared on Layal's face.

"Thanks to your miracle of dawn, Master Ian, the people of Blackwater City are all excited."

"No one wants eggs or bread anymore. Countless people are scrambling to become official believers as soon as possible."

"In my opinion, almost all the people in Blackwater City now believe in our Dawn Cult."

"Many people have begged me to tell you to recruit more people every day. They are willing to pay to join the Dawn Cult and also want to build a golden statue for you."

Ian smiled and waved his hand.

"The Golden Body is unnecessary. The number of people per day should remain at 500, and we may even reduce it as appropriate to maintain the style of the Dawn Divine Cult."

"Also, gather all believers someday to hold the first Dawn Cult prayer service."

"It just so happens that Markov, you take your men over there to select candidates and form the Holy See Army belonging to the Church of the Dawn."

Ian stood up.

"From now on, in the territories controlled by the Dawn Cult, there will be no city defense forces. There will only be the Holy See Army, which belongs to our Dawn Cult itself."

"If there are stronger knights and children with better talents, recruit them and form the Holy See Knights."

"The power of the army must be firmly controlled in our hands through faith."

Master Ian is about to do something big!
This thought flashed through the minds of Layal and others. They looked at each other and smiled knowingly.

"Yes, Master Ian!"

Ian walked to the wall where the city plan map of Blackwater City was hung.

During the construction of Blackwater City, the City Lord's Mansion was not in the center, but in the north of Blackwater City.

This also makes it easier for Ian to make plans.

After thinking for a while, Ian pointed his finger towards the center of Blackwater City.

"Are there any buildings in this area?"

Layal came over to take a look and shook his head.

"No, Master Ian, this is a square. It used to be where Blackwater City deployed its troops."

Ian took the pen handed to him by Phryne and circled it in red.

"Here, we will build the first church of our Dawn Religion."

"A commercial district surrounding the church was built in the name of the Dawn Divine Church."

"From now on, the church will be the core area of ​​the Dawn Religion. Once the church is completed, tell all believers."

"We must go to church and pray once a week, and let this become a habit ingrained in the believers' bones."

Layal quickly took notes, and after a while, he said softly:
"Understood, Master Ian, I'll contact the workers right away."

But before Leal could react, Ian stopped him.

"What kind of workers are you looking for?"

"What should I do?"

Ian smiled without saying anything. After a while, he said softly:
"Show the miracle of the dawn."
