Chapter 398 Infighting
Bai Yuqi's "preaching" behavior in the military camp obviously attracted the attention of the aristocracy
Especially his mysterious methods that can heal injuries and take out food and water out of thin air, it is even easier for people to covet him.
In this era of low production capacity, the nobles who relied on their supernatural abilities to attempt to expand their territory and resorted to militarism to recruit civilians, naturally led to a shortage of labor.
The aristocratic class who control a large amount of resources naturally have no worries about food and drink.
But the civilian soldiers they recruited were not robots that could survive without eating or drinking.
In order to prevent these soldiers from mutiny driven by hunger, a minimum food supply still needs to be distributed.
Since all countries adopt similar strategies, the food that can be collected from the private sector has already been collected, which makes it difficult for the army to obtain supplies through looting.
Under such circumstances, the sudden appearance of a person who can "conjure" food shows how tempting it will be to those in power.
Looking at the army leader who was leading a group of well-armed and strong soldiers, Bai Yuqi watched with great interest what he planned to do.
But before the arrogant army leader could do anything, a group of recovered wounded soldiers wearing linen robes surrounded Bai Yuqi and protected him.
The wounded soldier who was cured first excitedly rushed to the army leader and said something to him while gesticulating excitedly.
But after the army leader glanced at Bai Yuqi suspiciously, he pushed him to the ground arrogantly, pointed at Bai Yuqi and yelled something.
Bai Yuqi couldn't help but curiously released a [Language Master] for herself, wanting to hear what he was talking about.
But those strong soldiers had already roughly driven away the recovered wounded soldiers who were protecting Bai Yuqi, and reached out to grab Bai Yuqi.
The behavior of the army leader immediately angered the recovered wounded soldiers. They rushed up and started shoving with the able-bodied soldiers. Soon the situation got out of control. The angered able-bodied soldiers drew their weapons and slashed at the recovered wounded soldiers. There was an outbreak between the two sides.
A bloody conflict.
Although these rehabilitated wounded soldiers survived on the battlefield, after they were injured and sent to the wounded soldiers camp, they lacked medical personnel and medication, and they were actually sent here without even a tent.
Waiting to die.
Even the original weapons and equipment had been taken away and distributed to other soldiers who lacked equipment. Naturally, it was difficult to resist the personal guards around the army leaders.
However, they who fell to the ground after being slashed quickly stood up again with bewildered expressions. They wiped away the blood from the slashed area, only to find that there was not even a wound!
Only then did everyone realize that Bai Yuqi was standing among the crowd, waving his wooden staff with a smile, and shining balls of holy light on them.
This strange phenomenon made the strong soldiers who committed the murder involuntarily slow down their movements.
On the other hand, the morale of the injured soldiers was greatly increased immediately. They rushed forward bravely and fought with their bare hands. They even swarmed up and grabbed the opponent's weapons. The situation was immediately reversed.
While releasing the [Healing Technique] casually, Bai Yuqi figured out what was going on from the quarrel between the two parties.
It turns out that the rehabilitated wounded soldiers regard him as the incarnation of the god they believe in. However, as civilians with little education, they are blind to their faith and cannot truly understand the so-called doctrines, nor do they know what their gods have.
ability.
As the aristocratic class, the leaders of the army are naturally very aware of the power of their so-called "gods". The healing ability and the ability to conjure food out of nothing that Bai Yuqi just showed are obviously not what their gods possess.
So when the recovered wounded soldiers explained to them that the "White-robed Wizard Gandalf" transformed by Bai Yuqi was the incarnation of God.
The army leader immediately retorted and claimed that Bai Yuqi was an evil heretic who had transformed into an evil spirit to confuse the world, so he was to be arrested.
As a newly born spiritual aggregate, their artificial gods naturally cannot have any divine power.
The treatment ability also remains at the level of using herbal medicines. At most, it is the use of supernatural power to exert the medicinal effects of the herbal medicines, making the therapeutic effects of the herbal medicines faster and better.
This is very different from Bai Yuqi's ability to heal injuries out of thin air with a wave of his hand, or even regenerate severed limbs. Naturally, he was distinguished by the army leader who knew his own "god" better, and thought it was an enemy clergy sneaking in.
Demagoguery.
Firstly, he was worried that his own soldiers would be incited by Bai Yuqi, and secondly, because he coveted Bai Yuqi's abilities, it was understandable that the army leader would order the arrest of Bai Yuqi instead of executing him on the spot.
But the problem is that those rehabilitated wounded soldiers are not stupid. When they were thrown into this wounded barracks to die, they saw clearly the faces of these nobles.
And no matter how much they prayed and begged for salvation, after they could not get a response from their own gods, it was hard to say how firm their faith could be after they were already desperate.
They don't know whether Gandalf, played by Bai Yuqi, is a "pagan", but they know who saved them from death and who gave them food. Naturally, they don't want the other party to use their savior as their savior (food source)
If they are captured, conflict will inevitably break out.
In addition, the soldiers in this barracks are only a small part of Dashi's army.
The army leader did not expect that the unarmed dying and wounded soldiers would dare to resist the order, and the number of personal guards he brought was far less than the number of recovered wounded soldiers.
Arousing public outrage, they were quickly knocked down by the wounded soldiers and captured, and were held in front of Bai Yuqi to await their punishment.
In addition to healing the injured soldiers who had been injured in the conflict, Bai Yuqi, who had not intervened during the whole process, walked up to the army leader with a wooden staff, lowered his head and looked at the man who was still standing even though his hands were twisted and he was kneeling on the ground.
The bearded officer struggled desperately with an unconvinced look.
Seeing that he couldn't break free, the bearded man, whose nose was bruised and swollen by the blows from his subordinates, simply closed his eyes and muttered something, which should be the classics he believed in.
The Dashi Cult, which is famous in later generations, is still just a new sect that has just emerged. The prophet who created the Dashi Cult and ended the civil strife in the Dashi Peninsula and completed the unification is still alive.
Sensing the power of faith surging in the bearded officer who recited the classics devoutly, Bai Yuqi waited for a while with interest, thinking that the other party would summon their god.
But it is a pity that Big Beard, who is not a full-time clergyman, could not summon their god with his fluctuating spirit. Instead, when he sensed the presence of Bai Yuqi, he instantly disappeared from Big Beard's body, probably because of his...
