Unknown Knight

In the second half of the night, one hundred high-level prisoners, plus more than fifty middle-level prisoners who were instigated by them, broke into the camp of the lower-level prisoners. According to their observation, the guards on duty at the Standing Fort were usually asleep at this time, which was a good time to take action.

Soon, the originally silent city was filled with the sounds of kicking, pushing, scolding and yelling, but the situation this time was different from the past. Some of the lower-level captives who were still drowsy in sleep began to refuse to take it anymore after they came to their senses. They were no longer as obedient as before and dared not to resist at all. The two sides began to confront each other, and the intensity of the confrontation gradually increased. It wasn't long before the situation got out of control.

At the beginning, the high-level prisoners, who were used to being bossy, had a lot of evil in their hearts. They took the initiative to attack and rushed forward. More than a hundred people fought with great momentum and they had the upper hand in a short time.

However, these past few days, the lower-level prisoners were not completely helpless. Especially those who had suffered severe beatings before, they took the initiative to take the lead in organizing themselves. They agreed to watch out for each other and advance and retreat together, and to resist the oppression and exploitation of the higher-level prisoners.

By the time the lower-level prisoners reacted in a daze, the indiscriminate behavior of the higher-level prisoners had completely angered them. At first, they did not have the courage to resist together, but instead surrounded each other to encourage each other.

When everyone started to move and more and more people gathered, they found that the high-level prisoners, with only more than 100 people, were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers compared to the more than 400 low-level prisoners. They began to block the fists of the violent high-level prisoners, and some even started to pull them back.

At this time, someone in the crowd shouted:

"God of the Most High, kill these pagan bullies!"

With a loud "Ouch", all the lower-level prisoners followed the dozens of leaders and rushed forward, and the two sides suddenly engaged in a melee.

The dark night made it difficult for others to see the features on their faces, but now that the fight had begun, the lower-level captives no longer held back. Even the usually timid ones grabbed a handful of dust and smeared it on their faces, joining the ranks of revenge.

At the beginning, the vicious high-ranking prisoners had the upper hand, but as the situation became more intense, they became timid for fear of alarming the guards and being whipped again.

On the other hand, the situation was just the opposite for the lower-level prisoners. They were in a passive position at the beginning, most of them were beaten, and not many of them fought back. But later, more and more people joined the fight. They shouted and waved their fists, as if they were afraid that they would not be able to alert the guards.

Soon, the lower-level prisoners, with the help of momentum and numbers, suppressed the higher-level prisoners and beat them so hard that they screamed and climbed over the wall to escape back to their own camp.

But everyone was puzzled. Even though the battle in the city had become so serious, the guards of the Standing Fort, who were usually very vigilant, had not shown up. However, for the lower-level prisoners, these were no longer a problem. From that day on, the people from the higher-level prisoners no longer dared to come over to cause trouble or extort money.

After a few days, Aix felt that it was enough. When it was time to go to work that day, the guards guarding the lower-level prisoners did not take them to work, but left them alone.

After a while, Aix, dressed in heavy armor, appeared at the guard post on the second floor. His majestic and powerful appearance reminded people of the day when he broke the formation alone. With the help of two tall prophet guards, he looked even more imposing, like a god from heaven. The lower-level captives who were whispering to each other in the city immediately shut up when they noticed him and looked up at him in awe.

Seeing the awed expressions of the lower-class captives in the city, Aix was very satisfied. He cleared his throat, took deep breath, and said in a voice that could shake the city:

“You are all guilty people. Although it was not your intention to invade us, you did participate in the attack on Fort Standing. Some of you even have the blood of the Supreme God’s followers on your hands.

Your sins are enough to sentence you all to death, but the Most High God is merciful and sent down an oracle last night, telling me that as long as you are willing to convert to Him and fight for Him, the holy Most High God will be merciful and give you a chance to atone for your sins.

Now let me ask you, are you willing to convert to the Supreme God religion and believe that the Supreme God is the only true God in the world who can protect you?"

Aix's question did not get the unanimous answer from everyone as expected. Many people were still not able to react for a while and were talking among themselves. But soon, some people raised their heads and put their hands on their chests and said to Aix:

"Sir, we are willing!" "Supreme God, have mercy on us!" "Supreme God, we are willing!"...

When these lower-class captives were in Berbera, some of them were religious believers, but the religions they originally believed in were all religions that required both faith and worship. They had never seen a religion that only required faith and did not require worship, but even provided real blessings.

Isn't it said that all gods can only be rewarded after death if they make sacrifices during their lifetime? Where have they seen a god like the Supreme God who can bless people while they are alive, a god who can give practical benefits? There is no need to say which one is better or worse, and which one is more cost-effective. In an era where the living environment is relatively harsh, people tend to pay more attention to practicality.

Coupled with the difference in treatment between them and the high-level prisoners during this period, they can also more deeply appreciate the "divine power" of the Supreme God. As the saying goes, he who knows the times is a hero, and believing in the Supreme God has an added sense of practical pressure and survival needs.

They have all witnessed how the Supreme God treats his enemies. If they hesitate a little longer today, or simply refuse to join the Church of the Supreme God, they will definitely immediately enjoy the same "preferential treatment" as the high-level captives.

With these thoughts, whether these lower-level captives sincerely or unwillingly, they were all eager to join the Supreme God Church. Aix looked at the faces below who were eager to express their opinions, and knew that the time was almost right. He stroked his hands and waited until everyone was quiet before continuing:

“The Most High God is merciful. As long as you join His army and fight for Him, you will be pardoned. After two years, you will enjoy the same salary as the soldiers in the territory. After five years, you will also be able to get a piece of land for free like other soldiers, a land that does not require taxation.

As for other preferential treatment, it is the same as the people in the territory. You have heard about it during this period. I don’t need to explain the specific benefits here, right?”

Aix's words immediately caused an uproar among these low-level captives. It goes without saying that they had all known about the treatment of the subjects during this period, and it was already the most preferential treatment they had ever had. The treatment of the territory's soldiers was even more unheard of. How could they be given land when they were soldiers? The key point was that the land did not require taxation. Everyone had this in mind.
