Hear Aaron's question.

In an instant, the other party stiffened, and fine beads of sweat quickly oozed from his forehead.

Facing the Holy Order warrior under the throne of the God of War, he could see that his feet were trembling slightly, and there was a slight chill on his back, as if a cold wind had penetrated his body.

He turned his head stiffly, his muscles tightened, and his throat was slightly hoarse, "My lord, we are mercenaries. It was the trolls who hired us to stop the adventurers from destroying the trolls' ruins. ”

Aaron frowned.

It sounded to him that the other party was telling a lie.

Forest trolls have the same color as moss, and are white trolls who don't belong to the Alpha Forest at all. Moreover, the forest troll group has completely disappeared from the Alpha Forest.

"Wait, there's a discovery here!" Evie was in a bush and found two cages. There are two humans and a dryad imprisoned inside.

Obviously, this team is a team of thieves who are engaged in the profession of slave traders.

The Spartan Empire allowed the slave trade, and anyone with no status, except for citizens of the Empire, could be sold as slaves to nobles or the Empire.

Slaves, on the other hand, engaged in manual labor, had no personal freedom to speak of, and they might be able to live if they were sold to the empire.

If they were sold to private aristocrats, they were often bought, sold, entertained, and killed by slave masters.

"These raiders were dedicated to persecuting the people of Middle Earth, and sometimes even the citizens of the Spartan Empire were killed by them. Kill them! Faye stared viciously at the cunning human elder. One word reveals what he is engaged in.

A sharp dagger slashed back and forth at the old man's throat with great precision, and Aaron left Evie and the other four to dispose of these slave traders who were already unable to stand and run.

His gaze met the dryad in the cage and asked, "Tell me, what's your name." ”

"Water droplets." The other party replied timidly.

In Aaron's memory, there were only 30,000 dryads left in the dryad. And most of them are women. Thanks to Queen Gogo's sympathy, the dryads were given the exclusive profession of squire.

Aaron remembers that he once had a dryad attendant named Morning Dew.

Like the morning dew, the dryad, called the water droplet, looks young and tame. And from the upper body like a human to the lower body like a deer, it is covered with a layer of thin veil.

Under the supple bangs, the curved eyebrows loom out. Those big, round eyes were full of fear and nervousness.

"Ho! It's actually a female dryad, we seem to have picked up a treasure and are going to get rich! "Basilt came up. The eyes that looked at the dryad were full of excitement.

Having personally learned about more than a dozen disabled traffickers, including Evie, Faye, and Briiten, they also seem to agree with Bassett's point of view.

A Dryad, if sold on the black market, is worth at least fifty Imperial Gold Coins.

And the value of fifty Imperial Gold Coins, on the black market, can buy an Imperial Citizen Status Badge.

Although the empire he created single-handedly has been lost for ten years of knowledge and understanding, Aaron still remembers. "According to the laws of the Empire, the Dryad clan acts as court attendants. Identity and status above the average Imperial citizen. ”

The four expressed surprise at Aaron's 'antique', and Faye muttered quietly. "Ahem, Holy See, I don't know if you have forgotten or really forgotten, the Imperial Senate has long stripped the Dryad of its civil rights. Classifying them as Imperial slaves is branded as Imperial slaves, meaning slaves who are not allowed to be owned by individuals. That's why the dryad is so valuable! ”

"Why?" Aaron was still puzzled.

Evie looked at the Dryad who was cowering and would never be more than fifteen years old, and there was a hint of sympathy in her eyes, "Because the white-robed elders of the Imperial Senate have discovered that the Dryad's whole body is full of treasures. The blood of the Dryad can make a nobleman who has been hollowed out by the color of wine alive, the horn of the Dryad, and every organ of the Dryad's Heart can be used as medicine. ”

Hearing this, Aaron's brow furrowed slightly, although he was somewhat disgusted by this cruel oppression. But joining the Dryad can really prolong the lives of the patriarchs, and perhaps this cruelty is not necessarily evil. Of course, in Aaron's consciousness, the cognitive image of the imperial elders still stopped at the elite elders who wore this toga and did their best ten years ago.

Evie opened another cage and lamented, "Countless Middle-earthers came to the Spartan Empire with a yearning for the kingdom of the god of war, but they died one by one in ignorance and callousness. ”

Ten years ago, Aaron had always agreed to the law of the jungle. But that is the norm that must be followed in a barbaric environment.

In any case, the Spartan Empire should no longer abide by outdated laws.

As Aaron's eyes surveyed, the middle-aged man in the cage was about thirty-five or sixteen years old, of medium height, wearing a pair of blue cloth sloppy pants and a wide cow belt around his waist.

The hair on the sideburns was slightly bald, the eyebrows were dark yellow and neat, and the eyes were filled with pain, and they couldn't even breathe smoothly. Just now, the slave trader in charge of guarding the cage stabbed a dagger into his lower abdomen.

Next to the middle-aged man, there was also a girl in a powder blue dress, with slightly wheat-colored skin that looked very healthy, her golden hair cascading vertically over her shoulders, and her face was slightly red.

There were two lines of tears on her face, and she covered the middle-aged man's lower abdomen with her hands, but she still couldn't stop the blood gushing up between her fingers, just crying vigorously.

"He can't do it. Faye, give him a relief. ”

In Aaron's view, Evie, the swordswoman, is a strong woman who has always behaved in her own way. And faintly has a leading position among the four.

The axe warrior Faye quickly inserted the dagger in his hand into the middle-aged man's heart, staring at the other party's suddenly dilated pupils, "Shhhhh Leaving this evil age, Augustus, the god of war, will lead you into the glorious temple of magnificence, where there is no pain, no war, no hunger. Only glory and golden light bathe in your body and wash your soul......"

The most ironic scene of this fanatical belief in the gods is that Augustus Aaron, the god of war, is standing in front of the dead.

Not only did they sit on the sidelines, but they couldn't do anything about it.

In the end, only Aaron understands best in his heart that a demigod is not a god in the true sense of the word. The god of war, who is revered and believed in, is nothing more than a person who has a 600-year life to live a little longer.

……

The forest is darkly lit, with tall straight trees blocking most of the sunlight. Only dappled and sparse light shines through the branches and leaves of the trees. This makes the forest particularly mysterious and eerie.

A group of people, the object of a long snake walking in the forest. No one is competing with Aaron for the front spot. Evie walked in the middle with the dryad and a girl, and the other three broke off together.

As you walked on, the forest was filled with an erratic mist, but it was surprisingly quiet, as if all living beings had never set foot here.

Forest trolls are known to be relatively rare humanoid monsters, with an unusually strong physique, nearly three meters tall like the bears, and their dark green skin is covered in moss.

Tall cheekbones and a pointed head. As well as pointed ears and fangs, they indicate the Troll's strong fighting talent.

In Aaron's memory, a long time ago, there was nothing but the Amani Forest trolls. The Alpha Forest also has the Blood Bone Clan, the Dark Spear Clan, and the Gulaba Clan......

The remains of the trolls, the Cave of the Hundred Demons.

Surrounded by mountains and forests, the terrain is steep.

Look for this location, for Aaron. It's not that hard. Standing in front of the Troll Cave, surrounded by cliffs rising from the ground, these huge caves that look like ancient ruins.

"The warriors of the Troll Clan have all perished in the Sunset Plains. But the women, children, and young children of the Troll clan. There's no reason to just go away. The so-called troll relics, what happened in the past ten years......"

Some unsolvable thoughts lingered in Aaron's mind. But it was suddenly interrupted by a slight movement around him.

The keen sense of consciousness covered every grass and tree within a kilometer of the surroundings. Aaron found that there were hundreds of wolf soldiers, lurking in the area of the Hundred Demon Caves, their torsos and limbs were all wrapped in a whole piece of heavy steel armor, and the weapons were all ten-inch steel claws, and there were delicate ∧ emblem headbands on their heads.

Emblem of the regular army of the wolf clan of the Spartan Empire.

Imperial City, the city of Sparta!

The palace of the former god of war may not be very luxurious, but its majesty is indeed a little excessive.

In particular, the main hall where the throne is located is definitely the most spectacular hall known, and being in it, the huge shock can definitely make everyone who visits feel small.

Actually、Except for the Imperial Palace。

The entire Imperial Palace complex in Sparta is divided into two colonnaded forest complexes in the east and west, with corridors in the middle, which may add up to thousands of rooms, and are connected by winding corridors and staircases, as in the legend, the complexity of the structure is amazing.

At the same time, to the north of the palace is an open-air square, and the stone slabs that line around the square are used to record the civilization and glory of the Spartans.

It is an elaborate masterpiece, it was once the beginning of an empire, and what is shown and recorded on it is a magnificent era, an era in which glory belongs only to the Spartans.

Urria, the brilliant imperial architect, everything that was once drawn on drawings and designed, became a reality.

Raised head, the golden pillars are engraved with the words of the god of war, "The emperor's deeds are based on the emperor's throne, and the emperor's throne is based on authority." ”

"All the laws of the empire are maintained by the authority of the emperor."

The Spartan Emperor Lidong has various relief details on the wall behind her, and all the frescoes remain brilliantly colored.

It's just that there is no expression on her face, and she is as dull as wood. The priests and servants of the temple in the main hall are all at a loss, you look at me and I look at you, and I can't understand the indifference of His Majesty the Emperor to such a big event at the moment.

Time bit by bit, until half an hour later, the emperor, who had his back to everyone, turned around and officially spoke, "The Imperial Senate, those old men who have been arguing all day long that the power of the Senate is higher than the emperor's authority, and claim to have inherited the will of the God of War, what do they say about this incident?" ”

Thea, the representative of the eight sacrifices of the Pantheon, lifted her white floor-sweeping robe and stepped forward. The emperor who looked up at him said, "Back to His Majesty the Emperor, these old men in the Senate, although they are sincerely afraid on the surface, in fact, everyone is secretly celebrating, and there is finally no mountain on their heads. This is definitely a betrayal of the god of war! You should order these old guys to be hanged. ”

On the surface, Lidong's face was calm, and secretly she had to admit that since Nosica, there was no one worthy of the title of God of War Sacrifice.

Can you imagine? As a servant of the god of war, as a female clergyman. Her heart was filled with greed for power.

But then again, although Ridong sneered at the woman under the steps, he still had to pull her and the power of the temple to stand on his side. Since the disappearance of the god of war, the centralized power has been torn apart, with the Imperial Senate holding the largest part.

In addition to the Emperor and the Holy Order Legion that does not participate in any conflicts, the Temple of the God of War is the most active.

"There's the Legion of the Holy Order, and Uncle Kratos. With the support of Uncle Xianli, the gang of people in the Senate of the Empire, although arrogant, no one dared to attack the Emperor. This time the two holy cities and the Hurricane Temple disappeared. It was directly declared by the Senate that this was the responsibility of the Temple of the God of War, that they angered the God of War who was standing in the sky, and that they made the God of War give up the Spartan Empire. ”

Although Lidong can make the Senate and the Pantheon fight to the death. But just now General Kratos brought the news, all the Holy Order warriors have lost their sub-divine power skills and have all become ordinary warriors.

"Spartan Heavy Helmets. Having lost their sub-divine powers, they are still the most elite and formidable legions in the entire empire. The authority of the Emperor can still be maintained. But it is undeniable that the Senate has at its disposal the Minotaur Heavy Legion and the Orc Night Legion. They were not afraid of themselves, the Emperor. And no longer fear the Spartan Holy City Legion that has lost its sub-divine power. ”

The truth is that if you join the Senate and let this deplorable group of clergy burn to death, then their next goal is to eliminate themselves, the closest people to the god of war, and impose their republic.

Thea, the god of war, continued, "Do you know Your Majesty the Emperor, who values both beauty and wisdom? The old men of the Imperial Senate have been discussing it in the council, claiming that it was the Wood Elves who have perverted the last commandment of the God of War, and that the God of War has not made you the Emperor of Sparta at all, but only that the Elven Sage Yulan will take good care of you. Now, the elves have left the Spartan Empire and taken refuge in the northern traitor Kurush, who says you should be exiled and stay with the wood elves. Also, His Majesty the Great Emperor ......"

Listen to the sacrifice of the god of war against the indictments of the Imperial Senate. Lidong looked up, her gaze returned to the golden pillars, and looked at the two lines of the God of War quotations.

In the dark, a silent monologue.

"Brother, Lidong doesn't want to be a big nobleman anymore. Lidong just wants to be your sister. Ten years ago, Lidong didn't listen to you, and if you're still angry about it, Lidong begs for your forgiveness again......"

Ten years later, Lidong thought that the bird could not fly in the sea, and thought that he could not become the emperor of the empire.

It was only ten years later that I found out that it was not the bird that could not fly over, but the end of the sea, there was no longer waiting, and Lidong finally became the emperor of the empire, and vowed never to shed tears, holding his eyes against the wind, and trying not to blink......

In ten years, Lidong inherited his brother's will. Every rule set by the god of war, every line of imperial law, cannot be changed. Now, the Senate of the Empire, wanting to overthrow all this, Lidong decided to make them pay! ”

Lidong shook his head, and under the imperial crown, the long hair that was usually scattered was long and hung down today. She was declaring in the custom of the Berserker that she was going to war.

"Go Thea, gather your temple guards. Send someone to deliver my order, and General Kratos and his 20,000 Spartan Heavy Helmets are to assemble at once. The purest Spartans, the most majestic Imperial Legions, will be led by the Emperor to attack the Imperial Senate in the Northern District. ”

“…… Also, bring a message to the wolf king of Nature, Worf, and tell this old slippery head that if he doesn't want to be executed, he will immediately lead all the wolf legions to support his emperor. He also reminded him to think carefully about who gave him the crown on his head. ”

The order of the Emperor of the Spartan Empire, Lidong, ignited a thorn hidden in the depths of Thea's pupils, the god of war, and turned it into a raging fire of thorns.

Troll ruins - Hundred Demon Caves.

The quiet night in the forest was gradually washed away by the lit bonfire, and there were six hundred wolf soldiers lurking here, all of whom appeared.

At this moment, they were next to each other, kneeling on one knee in a dense formation, and the fierce and hideous wolf clan captain at the front of the formation didn't even dare to raise his head casually in the face of the young man standing in front of him.

After listening to the other party's explanation, Aaron's face was gloomy.

The wealth that was originally given to the descendants of the trolls last time has long been plundered by the wolf clan. And the rumor that there is a treasure in the troll ruins is nothing more than a rumor spread on purpose.

The wolf brigade was ordered to deliberately scatter some gold and silver coins on the troll ruins to create rumors.

Then come once every half a month and stay for five days at a time. Capture the adventurers of Middle-earth who entered the troll ruins during this period and send them to the underground kingdom of Splitting Mountain and Falls to work as slaves.

The reason why it is necessary to obtain so many slaves in secret. From the mouth of the other party, it was learned that the king of the wolf clan, Worf, was secretly mining and secretly hoarding equipment and weapons.

As for what Wolf wants to do, it can only be guessed for the time being. (To be continued......)
