The imperial army did not continue to march into the dark forest, but returned directly to the imperial capital. The City of Clouds has now become a term for history, and Alexander has gained the upper hand in the battle with the imperial prime minister Straw.

Although the price of victory was the lives of 40,000 warriors, the adventure was successful, and there was no need for the two empire generals to continue to venture in the dark forest.

However, the 40,000 warriors killed in battle included 5,000 sea god warriors. Now, in terms of power comparison, although the two famous generals have the absolute advantage, Frederick's "Tide" legion in Straw's camp is still not completely without the power of resistance.

At this time, Rogge had already purchased a mansion in the imperial capital. After tidying up, he moved in. Because of the special wrath of the goddess of nature, the fat man hid in the mansion as soon as he returned to the imperial capital. He did not even meet the emperor, and only said that he was seriously ill.

Anyway, in front of the Great Emperor, Pompei and Alexander will naturally deal with everything.

At noon that day, Pompei and Alexander came to visit Rogue, who was living in seclusion, and had lunch together.

The lunch scene seemed very strange.

There is a long dining table that is ten meters long in the wide dining room. Two empire generals sat at one end of the dining table, while Roger sat at the other end of the long dining table.

The servants who delivered the meal were never close to Roger within five meters. The simple dishes in front of Roger were delivered by Androni. Then, she sat quietly behind Roger.

Roger was wearing a thick velvet black robe, bare feet, and his outfit looked very strange. However, Pompei and Alexander were no longer surprised. While using food, they briefly introduced the progress of the empire's political situation to Roger.

After the army returned to the imperial capital, the emperor was indeed furious, but after Taotian's anger passed, he gave Alexander and Pompey some insignificant punishments.

This result was long ago as expected.

"How is Straw's loss?" Roger asked, inserting a piece of beef and putting it into his mouth. As soon as the beef was imported, he suddenly bit off with all his strength!

After a sharp hissing sound, Roger opened his mouth and spit out the bitten beef. The well-baked beef has now turned into a ball of dark green and strange things, and is still shaking one after another, and sometimes making a squeak.

No matter what it used to be, it has been chewed by Roger and has never been in chaos again.

Pompei turned a blind eye to the strange scene in front of him and said, "The gift we gave him was surprisingly effective. I heard that this time, not only did a few queens of the abyss Nagas come out, but also a dark spider! Strau's Hutu warriors fell seriously injured and fell second, and almost all the Druids who helped him died. This is the great harvest."

"Oh? In this way, they can all reseal the Abyss Gate, which is amazing!" Roger said.

"I guess Straw is still holding a few cards we don't know!" Alexander said calmly: "But no matter how many opportunities he has, since we have the upper hand, if we can still win the game back, Lord Pompey and I have been helping us to bring the soldiers for decades."

Roger suddenly stretched out his hand and inserted it into the thick tabletop. He dug out a piece of mutant wooden block that he couldn't stop struggling and squeezed it out.

He frowned slightly and said, "Sorry, these little things are a little too active today."

Before he finished speaking, his head tilted back slightly, allowing a faint black light to pass.

It was a thin black cloth strip, which turned out to be a piece of cloth on the shoulder of his robe. In an instant, Roger's index finger nails stretched out about an inch with a hint of cold light at the tip. His left hand trembled slightly in the air a few times, and had cut the cloth strip into several segments.

Androni suddenly reached out and tore off the back of his black robe, rubbed it in her hands as if nothing had happened. The cloth turned into a small piece of blue crystal, which she threw into the fireplace.

Looking at Androni's light-weighting techniques, Pompei and Alexander both showed admiration.

Roger smiled and said, "I'm really sorry, these little things are becoming more and more distorted. Let's continue to talk! Should we turn to Frederick for the next goal? I heard that he is the most determined believer of the goddess of nature! Of course, we are targeting him only. Now the empire has lost a lot of troops. It is best not to be affected by the warriors of the 'Tide' Legion."

Pompey nodded and said, "No, right! Straw is a politician. He may compromise with us when the situation is extremely unfavorable, but Frederick is different. He is a believer. Now that we have pushed down the City of Yunxiao, he will never be on our side. However, after he believed in Druid's scheme, his heart became too soft and contrary to the tradition of the imperial iron blood. In recent years, he has a powerful "tide" legion in his hands, but he has no inch on the southeast front. So, he has too many handles to catch. I think the next goal is set on him. Once Frederick falls, Straw will never be able to fight us again."

Alexander sighed and said, "Frederick is getting more and more confused as he gets older! He has been hitting a wall on the Southeast Front for three years, but he still holds Druid to death! Back then, he once relied on only 20,000 people to build the territory of three provinces for the empire!"

The three of them were discussing how to bring Frederick down, and suddenly the attendant reported: "The Grand Chief of the Sarah Winrot Court asked to see Lord Rog!"

The chief general of Sarah Winlow is the chief general who always stands beside the emperor. He has such great power in his hands that even Pompei and Alexander are afraid of it.

Therefore, when the slow-moving old man walked in, all three stood up to greet him.

"The Emperor heard that Lord Rogge was very ill and was very worried, so he asked me to see how Lord Rogge was in a state of illness." The boss's voice was as slow as his movements, and he was lifeless.

Rogge took two steps forward and smiled and said, "Look, I am so sick, how dare I meet the Emperor? If it affects the Emperor, my little priesthood cannot bear such serious guilt!"

Roger's black robe, which was originally very luxurious, was now in tatters, like a beggar's outfit. There were several large holes on the long dining table, and the chair he was originally sitting on turned into wooden strips all over the floor.

The boss nodded, slowly moved his thin and dry body, walked past Roger and came directly to the dining table. He stretched out a haggard finger, whispered it, and tapped it gently on the dining table, and suddenly a piece of wooden block popped up on the long table.

The wooden block popped up, but after it flew into the air, it suddenly changed its color and then turned into a strange creature like gelatinous, squirming wildly. More than ten sharp tips suddenly stretched out from its body, but these tentacles danced in the air in a daze, and obviously they did not find where the target was.

The boss manager had a dead branch-like hand, and the strange creature had fallen on his palm. The tentacles were waving desperately in the air, but none of them dared to stab the boss manager.

The boss took the mutated creature in front of him, looked at it with his cloudy eyes for a long time, and then put it back on the dining table.

When he left the boss's hand, the strange creature had turned back into an ordinary piece of wood and landed on the table with a sound.

The boss closed his eyes as if he was asleep.

The restaurant was extremely quiet, and everyone was waiting with their breath.

I don’t know how long it took, but the boss finally opened his eyes. The faint old eyes looked at Roger and slowly said: “Lord Roger, it seems that you were hit by the wrath of the Goddess of Nature. This is one of the top magic in natural magic. Fortunately, its power was dispersed and not completely concentrated on you alone, so you have been able to support it until now. However, what has been deeply embedded in you is the Goddess of Nature. I can’t think of any way to expel the power of Nature. Now the only person who is likely to expel the power of Nature is the Pope of the Church of Light.”

Roger was silent for a moment and suddenly asked, "How long can I live without expelling the divine power?"

The boss said slowly: "Although the divine power of the goddess of nature is very weak at this moment, it will slowly absorb the power of nature and gradually grow and grow. Attacks summoned by it will become increasingly difficult to prevent. There are two ways to crack it. One is to find someone to drive out the divine power in your body, and the other is that your own power growth rate can suppress the speed of the growth of divine power. However, the growth of power has a limit, and the growth of divine power has no end at all. So Lord Rog, how long you can live depends on your own efforts. Of course, you can hide in places such as the Demon Realm, the Heavenly Realm, or the Abyss of Batto, where natural power does not exist at all, so that your condition will not worsen at least."

He paused and sighed desolately: "Because you need to apply for the use of the Goddess' divine power, when casting the Wrath of the Goddess of Nature, you need at least three elders Druids to succeed at the cost. So... Lord Rog, you can rest with peace of mind."

Looking at the boss's staggering figure, Roger smiled undeniably, then returned to the dining table, and smiled: "Two sirs, this is quite good news, I can support you for a long time. Let's continue to talk about how to get Frederick off the stage!"

Pompei and Alexander also showed a little admiration. They had just sat down and listened to the attendant's report: "The Prime Minister of the Empire, Lord Straw, asked to see the three Lords!"

The three of them looked at each other, and they couldn't guess what the purpose of Straw's visit was.

After a moment, Straw had already walked into the restaurant. He was stunned when he saw Roger's tattered robe and the messy furniture in the room. But he immediately smiled as if he had not seen anything unusual.

This powerful minister who had held the power of the empire for decades was a temporary choice, which was heartbreaking.

"The three adults gathered here, probably discussing how to send General Frederick to the gallows?" Straw said with a smile.

Roger and others were shocked, but no one said anything, and quietly waited for Strau's following.

Straw's eyes flashed through the three of them one by one, and then said, "If you feel a little tricky about this, maybe I can help."

A hint of surprise flashed across Pompei and Alexander's faces. Although they knew that Strau's power-making skills were very powerful, they still felt inadequate in preparation for this proposal. In either aspect, Strau still had many opportunities to pull the situation back.

Roger nodded thoughtfully.

Pompei smiled and said, "Why did Lord Straw have this proposal?"

Strau said: "Pompey and Alexander are unparalleled in their style. They use unpredictable weapons to attack Yunxiao City. However, although Yunxiao City was destroyed, more than 40,000 soldiers died in the battle between the Ice River and the Sea God Legion. Especially the Sea God Legion, I heard that more than 3,000 sets of wave armor were permanently damaged this time."

Pompei and Alexander both nodded and admitted.

Strau said again: "In the battle of the Abyss Gate, among the 50,000 garrison soldiers of our Hutu tribe, 37,000 were killed in battle, and more than 6,000 were seriously injured and disabled. Including the previous losses of the Sea God Legion at the Abyss Gate, the Empire... has lost 100,000 soldiers!"

Straw paused, and then said with a tremolo voice: "Sir, don't you think that the internal struggle between us has gone too far? This is the most elite warrior of the empire in 100,000! So, I am here to ask for surrender to the three masters. Tomorrow, I will resign as the prime minister of the empire, and all the warriors of the Hutu clan will obey the orders of several. I believe that with my great talents and strategies, I will not treat me Hutu clan members with a few!"

After saying that, Straw got up from his seat, dressed up, and actually knelt on the ground!

Alexander and Pompei immediately stepped forward and helped Strau up from the left and right.

"Master Straw..." Alexander's voice hoarseness. This generation of war god in the empire didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Sir Straw, why do you do this?" Pompei sighed, "I will never be a second person except you."

Straw sighed heavily and said, "Twenty years ago... Twenty years ago, the four of us fought on all sides and how many territory did we build for the empire? Unexpectedly... Twenty years later, 100,000 soldiers died in our internal struggle! These days, I have not been able to sleep for a night!"

"Yes! Four of us...ah, Frederick..." Alexander sighed.

"Frederick can no longer turn back. But the 'Tide' legion he led cannot cause any damage. The imperial soldiers can no longer withstand another disaster." Strau said: "Let's do this, I will immediately send him a secret letter tomorrow and ask him to go to the imperial capital to provide assistance. He will definitely not have any doubts, and will only bring a small number of warriors to guard. At that time, we only need to send some people to ambush halfway..."

Both Pompei and Alexander nodded, thinking that this plan was feasible. Although the last obstacle was about to be removed, they couldn't feel relaxed no matter what.

Strau turned his head and looked at Roger again and said, "Mr. Roger, your illness..."

Rogzhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Straw, my illness doesn't matter, I will definitely be able to participate in the Southern Expedition of the Empire."

Straw was stunned, thought for a moment, and immediately understood that the most easiest and most feasible breakthrough for the empire to expand its territory was the Southeast Front where Frederick was originally responsible.

Straw nodded immediately and said, "Don't worry, Lord Rog, I don't think it will take long to point your sword to the southeast of the empire!"

As night fell, three important officials who had dominated the empire for more than 20 years left one by one, and only Roger and Androni were left in the empty restaurant.

"Rog..." Androni hesitated for a long time, and finally said softly: "Give up everything here and go back to the south with me. If I ask my father to come forward, the Pope will definitely agree to expel the Goddess of the Natural Goddess in your body for you."

Roger looked around and saw a mess of restaurant. After a moment, he shook his head speechlessly.

"Rog!" Androni's voice raised a little: "Didn't you understand Sara Wenlo's words? Unless the Pope is willing to help you, the other way is a dead end! The difference between them is just to die sooner or later! What can a dead person do? Haven't you always pursued interests? In the past, you were determined to fight back to the south, and you could still say that power and wealth were waiting for you. Now?! What can you get if you persist so much? If it really doesn't work, you can also pretend to surrender to the church! As long as you can expel divine power!"

Roger shook his head and sighed, "Can we deceive the Pope?"

"Then give up! Elyss has been dead for so long, why are you doing this? Have you really loved so deeply? How long have you been with her? How many times have you seen her? How many times have you said? Don't lie to yourself, you are not the kind of person with the most affectionate nature! If you want to pursue power, the Pope can give you enough power! If you want to pursue power, my family can give you power! You can get what you want in the south, why do you have to be an enemy of the Church of Light?"

Androni said louder and louder: "Have you ever thought about how big the gap between you and the Pope? I had no feeling about his power before, but since I entered the Holy Land, every point my strength increased, whenever I remembered the Pope, my fear became more! Do you understand what this means?"

Roger was silent for a long time, and finally looked up and said, "Anne, I have experienced too much and forgotten many things from that year. But this thing... is the only purpose I can remember..."
