"Look at their arms, what's going on!?"
"How could they erase the mark of the temple? Are they...aren't they elite warriors secretly trained by the elders...?"
More and more people noticed the situation here, and their eyes were attracted by the broken emblems on this group of people.
The commander looked at all this with horror. He never imagined that the group of people in front of him would destroy their own temple marks just like the traitor, which meant that they were no longer members of the temple.
On the field, thousands of survivors witnessed what happened in front of them, and there were gentle whispers.
Although the Holy Temple has a leadership position among the Phantom Clan, not every tribesman actually believes in the gods they serve.
For most civilians, controlling psychic powers is still far away, and many people even have no hope at all.
Since there is no need to control the function, then naturally, there is no need to believe in the God of the Void.
In the eyes of the Phantom Clan, spiritual power is a gift that can only be obtained by believing in the God of the Void.
Therefore, even after discovering the damage to the ashes of the temple on the bodies of Adun and others, the emotions shown by these civilians were very different from that of the Archon.
Everyone was more curious and didn't understand why those usually devout followers of the God of the Void and the Templars who controlled powerful psychic powers betrayed their faith collectively.
As for whether all this was an accident, some people also considered that damage caused by injuries during battles was not unheard of.
But if this happens to just one or two people, it's still possible, but if dozens of people all have the same wound location, isn't that just nonsense?
"Stop your arrogance, Archon. No one here is your subordinate, and no one will obey your orders."
Arden gave the consul a look, then pushed him away and walked straight to Nancy.
"Nancy, as you can see, the gift of the God of the Void is just a lie. Spiritual energy is a talent given to us by the universe, but even without it, it does not prevent us from taking control of it! Join us, the Star Alliance needs For a warrior like you, the Lord of the Stars will grant you true power."
He said then looked around at the people around him and continued:
"The same goes for you. The invasion of the Zerg is unstoppable, but the corruption of the Holy Church is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Instead of believing in that illusory existence, why not embrace the true truth in the universe with us!"
Arden's words were full of strong confidence, and the loud voice combined with the casting of the amplifying spell allowed all nearby phantoms to hear.
"Don't listen to his nonsense! The God of the Void has protected us for so long. Without him, we would not have the eidolon tribe we have now! You must not listen to the lies of a Forsworn!"
The consul panicked. He couldn't sit still and didn't dare to let Adun continue talking. The other party was blatantly poaching him. If these people all ran to believe in that Lord of the Stars, then he, What about the Archons? He still has a wife and children to support.
Seeing that the Archon was trying his best to protect the God of the Void, Arden did not stop him.
What he needs is for these people to join him sincerely, instead of being afraid of his own power and appearing to be incompatible with each other.
"The God of the Void, we once served him so devoutly and fought for him, even at the cost of our lives! But at this most critical moment for the Phantom Clan, what did he do?"
"He never appeared from the beginning to the end. He watched with cold eyes as his people were killed one by one by those ugly bugs. He sat back and watched our home being destroyed without any help! He told us that we can only believe in him , to gain psychic power, but this is just an excuse to gain trust, he deceived all of us!"
Arden spoke, and with the blessing of the amplification spell, his voice instantly covered the Archon. The latter's face turned purple with anxiety, but there was nothing he could do against him.
I can't compete with his voice, and I can't beat him even more. I can only watch him confuse people's hearts.
"And now, the great Lord of the Stars has helped us. He has given us strength to repel the Zerg; He has given us the courage to face the unknown; He has given us wisdom to see the truth clearly! He is the last hope of our Phantom Clan, Only He can lead us towards revival! Everyone, do you choose to stay in the church and follow the old gods to decay, or do you choose to stand up with me and welcome new life!?"
"Plop!"
The Archon's vision went dark and he fell to the ground.
Too cruel, this guy is too cruel.
His words were simply heart-breaking words. The God of the Void was labeled as an old god, and the newly emerged Lord of the Stars was labeled as the savior. This is for those who do not believe in the God of the Void. For ordinary people, it is simply a powerful critical blow. Under such circumstances, even a fool will know how to choose a side.
Sure enough, not long after Yaden finished speaking, someone in the crowd quickly asked in a low voice:
"Hero, you said that the Lord of the Stars can save us. Is this true?"
Arden looked over and saw that the person speaking was a young tribesman. At this moment, his emotions had been aroused by what he had just said. His face was obviously purple. This was only seen when he was emotionally excited. Performance.
"Of course, I have seen one of his servants take action. That is a powerful being who has been serving him all year round. With just one blow, he wiped out the wild insects in an entire galaxy!"
Everyone was in an uproar when they heard this.
The Zerg that wiped out an entire galaxy in one blow? What kind of strength can do this? They simply couldn't even think about it.
Poor Ziwei, if she hears the other party talking about herself as Zhang Xiaoman's servant, or the kind who serves him all year round, she will definitely be very angry.
In the projection of the tracking technique, Zhang Xiaoman looked at what was happening in front of him and suddenly felt a little funny.
This guy Yaden has a way of deceiving people. He doesn't have to be as bad as he was at first. He is a good prospect and worth cultivating.
However, when he thought about it again, he felt that there was still a difference between the other party and himself.
At least in this guy's own opinion, everything he said was the truth from his heart, and there was no such thing as deception.
Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but shook his head. These people thought too highly of themselves. The Lord of the Stars was just a title of a ring, but they regarded themselves as gods. This was a bit exaggerated.
I am still far away from the so-called true God.
And even if he reaches that state, he doesn't think he is a god. At most, he is a dark spirit with powerful strength.
The so-called gods are just honorific titles given by the weak to the strong based on the standpoint of survival.
Within the known rules, there is no real god at all, because no living being can achieve perfection in the eyes of others, so naturally it cannot be called a "god".
Zhang Xiaoman calmed down and continued to look at the changes in front of him.
On Saba, a group of surviving phantoms quickly agreed to Adun's solicitation, and the leader was Nancy, whose chest emblem was broken.
As the former captain of the team, Nancy still has a high prestige in the team. His change of attitude caused at least more than a quarter of the Templars to follow and join Arden's camp, while the rest people also felt shaken.
Then there are the ordinary people who do not have the talent for dark spiritual power. These ordinary people do not care too much about the old and new gods. They only care about who can help them survive in such a doomsday environment.
More and more people choose to join, and the rest are hesitant. Most of them have heard Arden say that the resistance team does not need cowards who can only avoid fighting. After all, they were still the ones who were protected before. Batch, I have never really been exposed to combat.
But maybe it was because they saw that the ordinary phantoms brought by Arden could also use that kind of psychic power, or maybe because most of the people around them joined in, so later on, everyone present also followed suit and changed their camps.
Finally, the Templars silently cut their emblems and stood behind Arden, leaving only the Archon and a few of his cronies on the field.
"You! If you do this, the God of the Void will not forgive you!"
The Archon was so angry that his body trembled.
Arden sneered, but the words he spoke almost choked him to death.
"If Tartarus' wrath only dares to affect our group of believers who once served him loyally, but does not dare to deal with our real enemies, then what can such a hypocritical guy have to believe in?"
The camp reshuffle was over, and Yaden led everyone to successfully complete the first task assigned to him by Zhang Xiaoman.
This is a very good start. If the current pace continues, Zhang Xiaoman believes that it won't be long before they can integrate the remaining survivors of the Phantom Clan.
As for whether it was a bit too unkind for Arden to dig into the walls of the temple, he didn't care too much.
In this doomsday situation, keeping the old wounds will only allow the carrion to continue to grow. It is better to remove them cleanly, which is the fastest and most effective.
In the next period of time, Arden tracked several surviving teams through the star map, and then teleported them through the teleportation crystal to include them into his team.
Judging from the current situation, the surviving phantoms are either escaping from the pursuit of insects or struggling with the harsh living environment on some planets. Anyway, they are not living a very good life.
Under such circumstances, Adun's containment work became much smoother. Some survivors turned to the Star Alliance out of disappointment with the Templar Church and the God of the Void, and some survivors came out of Out of hatred for the Zerg and wanting to gain powerful power for revenge, he chose to join.
And more survivors are ordinary people who have lost their goals in life. After so many years of hiding in the East, these people's lives have long become numb. Their only belief is to continue living, and Yaden is The one who could provide them with shelter, so they chose to join.
The herd effect does not necessarily only occur on Aquamarine, but also for everyone in the Phantom Clan.
When most people in a group have joined the Star Alliance, the remaining few people will no longer hesitate and follow suit.
In just five short months, Arden found hundreds of thousands of compatriots from survivor camps all over the country, and strengthened the team of Phantoms.
It is impossible for such a large population to be accommodated in a spaceship. Although the Hailstorm has opened up a special space, it is not enough for hundreds of thousands of people to live together.
Due to the Insect Domain, Zhang Xiaoman temporarily found a living planet for these people outside the Phantom Galaxy. Through his transformation, he transformed the environment here into conditions suitable for the Phantom people to live. This planet It is called Karen, which means rebirth in the language of the protoss.
Next, the Phantom Man spent another year building his new home, establishing a small town on the planet Karen that could sustain hundreds of thousands of people.
Although they have a new home, these phantoms have never forgotten to take back their hometown - the phantom galaxy.
They practiced the combat skills provided by Zhang Xiaoman, honed their skills day and night, and trained a large number of combatants.
These combatants are not all Dark Souls. Most of them are composed of ordinary people. They are wearing low-level Dark Souls equipment from the second universe, a simple set of blue armor and a weapon capable of long-range attacks. Spear.
Although these equipments may not look like much, in fact their value far exceeds the most advanced technological crystallization of many basic material civilizations.
That simple set of blue armor has the property of resisting dark spiritual attacks, which is very important, allowing ordinary people without any extraordinary means to engage in a head-on confrontation with the wild insects.
And the spears in their hands are even more precious. By consuming spiritual crystals, these spears can emit rays of dark spiritual power. Unless they use the corresponding method to block the attacks of dark spirits, they will not be able to use them anymore. Hard armor and metal cannot withstand their penetration.
For most of the insect swarms, the most basic units such as sickle bugs are not actually protected by dark spiritual power armor. The simple way they can use dark spiritual power is on the sickle on their arm, so When facing this kind of long-range attack, it can basically kill five or six in one shot, which is quite effective.
In order to buy these equipment, Zhang Xiaoman visited the trading markets in the Skull Star and the two nearby galaxies, and finally purchased it through the introduction of Barty, the Archon of the Skull Star.
