After an unknown period, pious prayers rang out in the Dwarf Kingdom. Dwarf King Borin and the others also prayed. When the prayer was over, they whispered 'believe in the Lord and have eternal life'. Then, they stood up.
"Very good!" Lysandra was quite satisfied. She directly said to Borin, the ex-Dwarf King, "Gather all of your kingdom's resources and equipment. I want to bring them back and give them to the Lord Almighty!"
"Understood, Lady Messenger!" Borin bowed respectfully. There was no dissatisfaction at all. On the contrary, under the influence of Seraphina's spell, the Dwarves became Haru's believers and felt that it was an honor for them to present their kingdom's resources to the Lord.
Faith did not change the souls of living beings. However, it could increase the loyalty of living beings. When they chose to surrender, Borin and the others had a loyalty between sixty and seventy points, which meant that they might defect but after becoming a believer, their loyalty had risen to over ninety points. The possibility of defecting no longer existed.
Furthermore, as their faith grew stronger and stronger, their loyalty would continue to rise until they reached a hundred points and would become absolutely loyal.
After loyalty reaches 100 points, it becomes meaningless. What was meaningful was the 'Faith Level' which could determine the amount of 'Faith Power' that Haru could obtain from them in the future. The higher the Faith Level, the more Faith Power Haru would receive.
(T/N - For anyone who might have forgotten, the Faith Levels are as follows —
Ordinary Believers
True Believers
Devout Believers
Fanatics
Saints
Once someone has Saint Level belief, they can be reborn as Angels after their death with the help of Angel Reincarnation Pool.)

When the war ended, a golden light appeared on the bodies of many troops among Haru's army. During the battle, they had obtained a large amount of 'special energy', thus they advanced. Among them, the fastest to advance were the Angels, Elves, and the members of the Legion of Light that Haru had summoned today.
Their initial strength was very low, so they advanced the fastest. Some of them had even been promoted to Tier 8 Commanders or Tier 9 Lords. The increase in strength was extremely terrifying! This was the harvest of war. Killing a large number of enemies was a shortcut to quickly raising the troops' strength.
Other than them, the other troops had also advanced. Even some peak King Tier Angels and Elves advanced to Saint Tier. Also, Flamey had also advanced from the peak of King Tier to a Saint Tier Fire Dragon in one go. After breaking through to the Saint Tier, her body had expanded to over a hundred meters in length.
'As long as I can increase my cultivation by another great rank! Then I can transform into human form!' Flamey turned her head to look at her huge body, feeling very dissatisfied. Her master did not like this huge form!
She had to work hard to become a Demigod soon and transform into a human form just like her Lord. At that time, her Master would like her even more! Perhaps her Master might even allow her to enter the top floor of the castle, like that Angel with twelve wings.
"Not only will I become the most beautiful human, I want to become stronger! I will become the Fire Dragon Queen that will rule the Endless Continent's Dragon Race! I want to make sure that master won't ignore me!" Flamey snorted proudly.
She missed the time when she was a newborn little Dragon and rubbed her head against her master's pants. Although it wasn't long ago, it was still fresh in her mind. She felt that once she transformed into a human, she would be able to continue rubbing against her master's pants. Just thinking about it made her excited!
…
In Angel Castle, Haru and Sylvana were chatting under the Elven mother tree. Suddenly, he received a notification.
[Congratulations City Lord! Your forces have conquered the Dark Forest's Dwarf Kingdom. Your Angel City's influence and reputation in the Endless Continent has greatly increased!]
[Congratulations, City Lord, you have obtained all the resources of the Dwarf Kingdom…]
[Special Reminder 1: Due to your invasion of the Dwarf Kingdom, the attention of the local forces from the Dark Forest on you has greatly increased.]
[Special Reminder 2: Dragon Nest's hatred towards your Angel Castle has greatly increased!]
[Special Reminder 3: The Forest Giant Kingdom's hatred towards your Angel Castle has greatly increased!]
[Special Reminder 4: The Dwarves of the Endless Continent have greatly increased their hatred towards your Angel Castle and have blacklisted your faction!]
[Special Reminder 5: …]
There were too many 'special reminders' this time. Haru kept pulling down the frame and discovered that there were more than twenty special reminders. It was all because certain factions have greatly increased their hatred towards him.
After asking Sylvana he got to know that these forces were allies of the Dwarves. It was obvious that the Dwarves were doing quite well in the Endless Continent. Apart from the deep alliance with the Elf Empire, the Dwarves also maintained Alliances with many other races.
The fact that he had conquered the Dwarf Kingdom had also increased the hatred towards Angel Castle. Of course, Haru did not care about this. A Castle Lord like him was an enemy of the entire Endless Continent anyways. A few more 'units' of hate was nothing.
"I didn't expect that Lysandra and the girls were so fast. They've taken over the Dwarf Kingdom in less than two hours!" This point surprised Haru. It could be said that his army was simply too strong. Even a genuine Kingdom-level force like the Dwarf Kingdom was far from being a match for his army.
"Lord Almighty!" Sylvana also asked in surprise, "The Dwarf Kingdom surrendered so quickly?"
"That's right!" Haru said, "With the help of Astral City, the castle army charged directly into the core of the Dwarf Kingdom and then attacked their capital city with lightning speed, destroying their army's defensive line. Five of their thirteen Saints were even killed on the spot!"
