Chapter 2 Artifacts

The warriors of the Tide Legion have never been so at a loss today. No matter how powerful the enemies were on the battlefield in the past, they could not fear and retreat. The swords, arrows, spears, and even nails and teeth were their weapons to defend their honor. However, those brave hearts are trembling now, not because of cowardice, but more instinctive awe of unknown existences and peak powers.

The huge silver dragon hovered in the air, and the huge scales reflected a bizarre light. The leaping light of the fantasy color was almost more eye-catching than the rising sun. He ignored the tidal heavy-armed warriors with shiny spears below.

Within a hundred meters around him, the surging dragon power was filled with surging dragon power, and ordinary human warriors could not enter the range of dragon power. Therefore, the center of the wide square in front of the legion headquarters was empty, and dense heavy-armed warriors could only crowd on the edge of the square. Without the mage to protect them from spells to protect fear, they could not fight within the range of dragon power.

However, although there are many soldiers in the Tide Legion, most of the senior officers are missing. When the command is lost, since the silver dragon in the air shows no sign of force, no one will be stupid enough to charge against the Silver Dragon first. These days, under the tyranny of the Fatty, the Imperial Military Rules are reviewing the Imperial Military Rules from top to bottom in the Tide Legion. Now even ordinary soldiers know that if they act without the command of the superior, they will be a serious crime, and the fat man's style is that all the punishments for crimes will be subject to the upper limit.

What's more, even if the heavy-armed warriors charge, the seven-meter sting guns in their hands cannot reach the silver dragon in the air at all. Even the elite warriors who can throw 100 meters have a huge gap in the power of humans and dragons under the action of gravity, even if they can reach the silver dragon, they will only tickle him. Unlike the Ice River Legion, the Tide Legion never thought that one day it would face the dragon, so there was no special weapon in the army that could deal with the dragon.

At this time, the sacred dragon that had been hovering in the higher sky suddenly let out a long dragon roar, then closed its wings and landed on the zenith terrace of the headquarters of the Tide Legion. The sacred dragon slowly raised its head to the sky, the dragon roared endlessly, like more than ten huge organs playing the ensemble. The solemn prelude seemed to lead the aria that praises the goddess, the melody and the harmony were all directly in contact with the hearts of all beings. When the gorgeous and mysterious rhythm finally appeared, the dragon body that coexists with elegance and majesty, such as milky white, orange-red, blue, and turquoise, sparkles such as milky white, orange-red, blue, and turquoise green, as well as streamers condensed from flames danced up and down around it, and finally ushered in the final song full of power and heat.

The secular time is still, and the goddess is slowly coming. We bow to accept her tour, both kind and strict, and the door of fate is closed and opened again...

At this moment, the hymns flowing through everyone's heart are different.

For a moment, the entire city of Silde was solemnly standing, and all the hearts rushed towards the sacred dragon entrenched on the zenith terrace!

The sacred dragon wings spread out, almost standing up, and a particularly high-pitched dragon roar made a perfect ending note in the hymn. A holy beam of light burst out from its mouth and soared into the sky!

There was no noise in the huge city, and some citizens knelt on the ground in awe, and no one of the soldiers dared to point the sharpness of the spear in the direction where the sacred dragon was.

As for the Silver Dragon, it has been completely ignored.

However, the zenith terrace where the sacred dragon entrenches is located just above the Temple of Light.

In the temple, the woman who had just sat on the only throne raised her head slightly, and her slightly bent silver eyes looked upwards, and her cold eyes instantly penetrated the thick floor.

She clenched her fist with her right hand and waved it up silently...

The temple seemed to shake for a while.

At this moment, I don’t know how many people were staring at the sacred dragon that was high above. People suddenly felt that the headquarters of the entire Tide Legion suddenly revealed milky white holy light...

A holy light pillar as thick as a hundred meters suddenly appeared between heaven and earth! At this moment, the eyes and minds of sentient beings were occupied by the sacred light that made people feel the impulse to worship, and there was nothing else.

Suddenly, the dragon roar sounded again, and the clearer the higher the louder it was, the louder it became.

When people regained their vision, the sacred dragon that dared to entrench on the goddess's head on the zenith terrace had disappeared!

But the countless people don't know the secret, and they are full of awe of everything that is in front of them, because

So magnificent and so majestic, there is nothing else to do with miracles!

The woman's right fist finally slowly fell, and her five clenched fingers also bloomed like orchids, and gently landed on the handrail of the throne.

Roger finally let out a breath that had been accumulated in his chest for a long time.

He stood respectfully with his head down, but his eyes quietly looked towards the throne. However, every time his eyes were about to fall on the woman, he would hit a hot holy light head-on. At that moment, except for a vast white area, Roger could no longer see anything else. After two times, Roger's eyes were a little red and swollen, and he did not dare to try again. But he glanced around secretly and found that when the eyes of other people fell on the woman, it seemed nothing unusual.

The fat man was puzzled, was he the only one who would hit the dazzling holy light, or was his eyes a little more fragile than others?

At this moment, the only thing Roger could see clearly on the woman sitting high on the throne was the slim hands.

In a corner of the temple, Macbeth was standing there, his face was gloomy and gloomy. The wings behind him had disappeared and he no longer increased his strength. But he could not escape at all. If he rushed up to fight, he would die. Therefore, he could only stand there blankly, not knowing what to do.

The fat man secretly sympathized with Macbeth and was quite considerate of Macbeth's situation.

In the silence, the woman on the throne raised her left hand and pointed at Rogue.

Roger strides forward and bows, "Great goddess, how do you need me to serve you? Please give me your order!"

The silver gaze passed through the heavy gate of the temple and looked at the vast earth in the distance.

Her lips opened slightly, and a cold voice rose in the air, and then it fell like rain: "I need... war!"

Amid the roar, the heavy door of the temple slowly opened.

Roger strode out of the temple!

He came straight to Wallace and the generals and brought Wallace over. Under Roger's terrifying brute force, Wallace, who was tall and strong in fighting spirit, had no power to resist!

"You just said that you are going to mobilize 15,000 people to attack Soratu City?" Roger almost put on Wallace's face and said gritting his teeth.

Wallace only felt that the day was extremely strange, and he only answered: "I did say that just now, but now..."

"Nothing but!" Roger shouted.

He let Wallace go, snatched the marching plan from a general, spread it out with a whisper, glanced up and down, and then closed it.

The fat man turned his head and stared at Wallace, saying, "General, this plan is good. The number of 15,000 people needs to be changed."

As soon as he talked about military affairs, Wallace immediately became extremely serious. He frowned and said, "This... Lord Roger, if the number of people is small, this plan will be difficult to implement."

Roger immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's not about reducing soldiers, but about increasing, increasing! General, our Tide Legion with a glorious history suffered a great loss at the city of Soratu. Didn't it just launch an attack? No! I don't think so! What I need is..."

The fat man paused, looked around the generals who were listening quietly, and shouted suddenly:

"war!"

The generals looked at each other, for some reason why Rogge's attitude suddenly changed so thoroughly. It seems that the reason is that the temple of Light was closed with the door closed. But who dares to ask about this reason?

Regardless of the questions in the generals' hearts, Roger turned to Wallace and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "Call all generals! Hold a military meeting immediately! Within ten minutes, I will see all the generals appear in front of me! If the time is not overdue, it will be handled according to the imperial military rules!"

Wallace said nothing more. The time limit was too short, so he immediately hurried to issue the call.

A moment later, dozens of generals gathered in the large conference room on the third floor, watching the fat man feel hysterical and encircling pre-war mobilization.

"War! War! We have no choice but to war!"

The military plan picture hangs high behind Roger. Roger suddenly turned around and took a heavy photo of the Imperial Military Rules on the map representing a red dot in Soratu City, saying: "We are the tide legion, one of the three major legions of the Empire! Those stupid Delaware pigs have caused us to suffer a big loss, so we must not just forget it!"

The fat man had a ferocious face, waved the imperial military rules in his hand, and shouted: "Mobilize every soldier we can mobilize, even the logistics soldiers and local guards. Take me those who have received military training and can swing weapons! No one left! This time, we will never withdraw our troops if we don't step on the Delaware imperial capital! Long live the glorious tide army!"

The generals present were all experienced many battles, and there were many powerful generals who had always fought in front. The frenzy of war blood in their bones was finally slowly incited by the fat man! Even if a few generals who disagree with the fat man, they would remember that he had the absolute power to mobilize the army and start a war. The punishment for not following military orders was clearly written on the military rules.

However, there are still people among the generals of the Tide Legion who are not afraid of power. A veteran general stood up and said coldly: "Mr. Roger, Fernandez, who is stationed in Soratu, is not a fool. If you go out in full force, what if he leads a light cavalry to attack Sild City?"

Roger snorted, and with a move from his right hand to his back, Mei immediately came up and whispered. The fat man nodded and said to the old general: "You really make sense. Since most of your brilliant achievements in the past are related to defense, then you will be stationed in Silde City this time! I will leave you two thousand warriors."

The old general's face turned pale, but this was a military order and he could not disobey.

Another middle-aged general stood up and said, "Mr. Roger, according to your order, we will dispatch 70,000 troops, of course, including your army. However, the plan behind you is based on the scale of the attack of 15,000 people, and the soldiers who are supposed to be mobilized during the plan are the most elite soldiers in the legion. This... I am frankly speaking, our army has expanded five times, and more than half are second-rate troops with poor combat effectiveness. Instead of being able to dispatch all the whole family, it is better to select only 40,000 most elite soldiers to attack Delaware. Of course, if you insist on dispatching 70,000 troops, then we must re-form the combat plan."

Roger showed a patient listening expression, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, let's re-plan now!"

He picked up a thick pen and drew two huge arrows on the military map, one pointing from Silde to Soratu, and the other pointing directly from Soratu to the Delaware Capital.

Roger put down his pen, turned around, smiled with satisfaction, looked straight into the middle-aged general's eyes, and shouted: "General, this is the new plan!"

Mei approached Rog again and said in a very low voice in his ear: "Master Rog, you are so excited."

The fat man nodded and took a deep breath in his heart, but he still couldn't suppress the beating heart. He also knew that he was very disobedient, but he had just stood by the goddess for so long that he had to bear the indescribable pressure at all times. That feeling was like a weak lamb standing in front of the lion! In Rogue's spiritual world, the one on the throne was not an unparalleled goddess, but a terrifying energy storm, a storm that could instantly level the headquarters of the Legion!

In fact, it was not just him, the generals who had just stood on the terrace, including Wallace, were still absent-minded. Only Mei was unexpectedly calm.

Roger looked around the audience and said in the most calm and powerful voice that he could achieve: "That's what it is decided. Generals, you will go back and reorganize your army immediately. I will lead the army to set out tomorrow morning. Which unit has wasted time and deal with it according to the imperial military rules!"

All the generals knew that Roger was the last order, and there was no doubt that, so they stood up one after another. These generals were brave. Although they were dissatisfied with Roger's random command, it would be better to fight a war than to stay in the city of Silde to train troops.

Roger suddenly remembered something and said, "Please wait a moment."

Seeing that the fat man suddenly opened the Imperial Military Rules and looked carefully page by page, the generals couldn't help but feel at stake. God knew when he would have violated which military rule inexplicably and was caught by the fat man.

In fact, Roger turned a blind eye to the military rules at this moment. He squinted his eyes and searched hard in the military rules manual, just to hide the slight silver light that was radiating outward in his eyes.

He quietly relaxed a little bit of suppressing the divine power of the Goddess of Nature. The divine power of the Goddess of Nature was completely different from the power of the world. Although it was still extremely weak at this moment and the road to growth was still long, when Rogge relaxed a little, it immediately woke up from its silence, and instantly found a gap from the mental power surrounded by Rogge, and several tentacles were poked out.

These invisible tentacles swept across the entire conference hall in an instant, looking for targets that could be activated. Before they were about to touch some generals, they suddenly bypassed their bodies and rushed towards other generals.

In an instant, the tentacles of the Goddess' divine power of the natural goddess had already explored the surrounding environment! They sowed several seeds, and then each tentacle began to shine, and it was about to trigger the seeds in a lurking state.

Just at this moment, the gap in Roger's mental power disappeared!

The connection between the tentacles and the outside world was completely cut off, and the seeds that had lost their divine power were gradually withered and disappeared.

Roger finally raised his head from the military rules manual and smiled at the generals who had unconsciously turned around in front of the god of death. The smile was too pleasant and made them feel chilled.

Roger expected that, out of protection for believers, the divine power of the Goddess of Nature will avoid the devout believers on their own. Therefore, in front of the fat man who is in the wrath of the Goddess of Nature, all the devout believers of the Goddess of Nature have nowhere to hide.

The fat man pointed his fingers and called the eight generals out of the line, and then asked the other generals to return to the camp to prepare for tomorrow's war.

Roger then asked his followers to take a statue of the goddess of nature and place it in front of the eight generals.

The fat man walked around the eight generals and laughed: "Generals, you all know that the Druids, who had been ill-behaved not long ago, finally launched a rebellion. Of course, in front of the invincible imperial army, they had no room for chaos. Although the empire has not officially recognized the belief in the Goddess of Nature as a sin, the Druids are the representatives of the believers of the Goddess of Nature after all. It is hard to say that the Goddess of Nature was not instructed to launch a rebellion."

Listening to Roger's words, although the eight generals did not say a word, they all looked angry. However, the fat man didn't care at all. He continued, "Everyone! Give up your faith in the Goddess of Nature, and the smooth road is waving to you! And the new belief, which is no less than the Goddess of Nature, is by our side! Of course, if you are unwilling to give up your faith, then what will be waiting for you, I think you are also very clear. I have never been a simple person, that is, I don't lie, nor do I like to beat around the bush. Now, the right to choose is in your hands! Draw your sword and cut down this statue! Prove your faith to me!"

The eight generals were silent for a long time. An old general with pale hair suddenly drew out his sword and walked towards the statue of the goddess of nature. His hair was lit up, and he roared wildly, and swung the sword suddenly changed direction in the air, stabbing towards Roger's chest fiercely!

Before Rog could move, Mei suddenly blocked the fat man's body. Her slender hand flashed and she had already put on the old general's wrist holding the sword. Then Mei's body suddenly had a shining light of fighting spirit. With the sound of the click, the old general's elbow had been broken, and the sword in her hand turned toward his throat!

A powerful force suddenly came from Mei's back, pulling her back. The sword that was about to cut the old general's throat only barely passed by his throat.

Roger stared at Mei coldly and shouted, "Stand be honest with me!"

The fat man looked at the old general who had collapsed on the ground and had lost his ability to move, and said lightly: "Before the war, he was planning to assassinate the highest commander of the front line, according to the imperial military rules, it is equivalent to rebellion. You are old, so it's okay if you die. Why bother to implicate your family?"

He looked at the other seven generals and said coldly: "Everyone is smart. Don't do anything without hope, so as not to implicate your family and you! Now, I'll ask you if you are ready to give up your faith for the last time?"

Roger waited for a moment, but the generals did not answer. He stopped waiting, called guards, put them all in a military prison, and ordered four times the guards.

Previously, there was a precedent for all the prison guards to be executed because of Oliver's escape. Putting aside personal beliefs, the generals of the Tide Legion were brave and good at fighting, and they cherished soldiers very much on weekdays. Therefore, even if they had the opportunity to escape, they might not be willing to escape for the lives of more than 300 guards.

Seeing the eight generals being taken away one by one, Mei sighed: "Mr. Roger, they are all very good at fighting! Now that the war is in progress, they are imprisoned just because of different beliefs. Aren't you afraid that it will affect the combat effectiveness of the army?"

Roger shook his head and walked slowly around Mei, saying, "Where are they? We will all win this war. I can't do anything to the great goddess of nature, can't I do anything to her believers?"

Roger stopped in front of Mei and looked at Mei's beautiful blue-gray eyes carefully. His sharp eyes were about to penetrate Mei's heart. He slowly said: "No matter whether it is a human or a god, you will find that it is not a pleasant thing to go against me. No matter whether the combat effectiveness of the army is high or low, as long as I am a devout believer of the goddess of nature, I will kill the other one when I see it!"

When she heard Roger's last sentence, Mei's heart trembled slightly, but she was completely different on the surface. She just sighed slightly, lifted up the statue of the Goddess of Nature, folded it into two sections, and threw it into the trash can in the corner of the house.

At this moment, even Roger had to secretly admire him.
