Chapter 180: Raising Kou for Self-Respect
After a successful raid on the warehouse, Roman and his division returned with a full load, leaving the Holy Spirit Temple war zone and separated in an unnamed forest.
The Opera Wizard returns to the defense zone, while Roman and Joss return to the front line of the Legion, put away the stand-in puppets, and continue to command the troops.
During this day, the legion, led by a stand-in puppet, cleaned up the catastrophe, not for alibi, because it was useless.
The sorcerer's criminal investigation methods are endless, but they are much more powerful than Roman's previous life, time goes back, lie detection, and the eye of judgment...... It simply can't be dealt with in the normal way.
Therefore, Roman did not want to fight the investigation at all, if his plan had gone well, the investigation would not have happened at all, this is not a judicial struggle, but a military-political struggle.
At this time, the army is full of resentment, leaving it to increase variables, and Roman doesn't have the energy to divide and win over, so it is better to clear it entirely.
He then summoned the Legion, announced the death of thirty Legion wizards, and then gave the order to march in the name of revenge.
The Legion was silent, they had gone from 110 wizards at the beginning, to less than 60 now, and at least half of the wizards who died died at the hands of Roman.
In this attack, I don't know how many people will die, many wizards showed despair, and their eyes became more and more fierce when they looked at Roman, but they did not dare to resist because of Roman's strong combat strength.
At this time, Joss asked, "Roman, if you want to succeed in the raid, you must break through the defensive witch array, what are you going to do?" ”
Roman smiled surgingly: "Cold salad, it's not that you can't beat it by attacking, why do you need to raid?" ”
"But... That's going to be a lot of casualties! ”
Roman looked disdainful and gave a cold answer: "So what, as long as you can win, the casualties are only a number!" ”
The wizard's power belongs to himself, only his own combat power belongs to himself, and the legion wizards have their own thoughts, not soulless witchcraft, as long as they have the slightest opportunity, they will be defeated.
There are two things in the world that cannot be looked at directly, one is the sun, and the other is the human heart.
Therefore, despite being like an arm to the Legion, Roman always believes that the Legion does not belong to him, but something outside his body, and he only uses them as cannon fodder, and he has no pity for using it.
For him, the Fourth Regiment was expendable from the start.
The Legion entered the attack position, and at Roman's command, the Legion attacked, and the brilliant sorcery swept away the enemy position.
The enemy front burst into flames one after another, and the intensive bombardment turned over the soil.
Under the output of dozens of first-level wizards, the gods blocked and killed the gods, and the Buddhas blocked and killed the Buddhas, easily broke through the defense of the witch array, attacked the defense area, and began to kill.
At this time, the legion wizard sensed that something was wrong, and the defenders in the defense area were a little smaller, and most of the defenders were apprentices.
So, as if thinking of something, someone shouted with a pale face: "We have been tricked!" Evacuate! ”
The next moment, three times as many Academy wizards were gathered from all sides, each of them at the level of rank, ensuring that the legion was crushed.
The Wizards of the Academy continue to export sorcery, so that the Legion Wizards cannot survive and die.
In the distance, Roman looked indifferent, holding a fruit and eating it in small bites, without the slightest intention of rescue.
Joss whispered, "Roman... Wilt thou destroy them all? They're all good witnesses, aren't they? If we are dead, who will testify to us? ”
Roman shook his head: "It is not necessarily people who can testify, mountains, rivers, grass, swamps, lakes... Even the enemy, can bear witness for us! ”
"There are many high-level means, and human evidence is not the only one, whether we can escape the investigation does not depend on whether we do it cleanly, because we can't do it clean!"
Joss knew Roman's plan, understood what he meant, felt that he had no hope of perjury, and was ready to take the struggle to a higher level, first of all, to purge the legion.
Joss said, "In case of failure, you must be ready to run..."
Roman smiled confidently: "Whether we run away or not depends on whether Lan Dao cooperates, but this is a matter for the future, and now we must slaughter this defense area!" ”
At the same time, in the academy defense area, the Fourth Legion suffered heavy casualties, and there was not one in ten, and they didn't understand why Roman didn't come to the rescue, could it be that his belly was discovered?
"Invincible Legion Commander, come and save me! I won't dare to scold you in my heart again! ”
His prayers seemed to work, and in the next moment, the academy wizards turned into pus, and the corrosive vocal range and corrosive realm were superimposed on each other, erupting with terrifying lethality.
In front of the second-level wizard, the first-level wizard is like a chicken, a dog, and he is not vulnerable at all, and Roman has a clear understanding of the defense area through the opera house earlier, ensuring that he is crushed by his combat strength.
Even this attack, Roman deliberately passed on false information, let them ambush in advance, and when the fight was lost, he would come out again.
Under the ravages of two second-level wizards, the situation in the defense zone was reversed, and the original hunters became prey and were slaughtered one-sidedly.
Witchcraft exploded in a series of flashes, screams and wails resounded through the sky, and when all the dust settled, there were only two standing figures on the battlefield.
Joss looked around and sighed, "It's all dead, Roman!" ”
Roman nodded, looking a little tired: "Indeed, so many lives are gone like mowing grass... Just the two of us... Hahaha..."
His body twitched suddenly, he lowered his head to support his forehead, and let out a grim sneer, and Joss on the side said worriedly: "Roman, what's wrong with you?" ”
As the sun set, the two came to a grassland, and the glorious sunset was in the distance, Roman leaned on Josie's arms and asked tiredly:
"Josie, have I changed, strictly speaking, the Fourth Legion has no grievances with me, but I have killed them in order to facilitate future struggles... Not a little guilty yet! ”
Joss hugged Roman from behind, stroked his face, sniffed his hair, and said softly:
"Roman, you haven't changed, what has changed is where you are, and there is a motto in the mutation system:
Just as plants are rooted in the soil and thoughts are rooted in the body, when your body changes, the thoughts that are nurtured will also change! ”
Roman nodded, feeling a lot better, as his combat power became stronger and stronger, his ability to empathize with the weak became lower, killing people was like slaughtering chickens and dogs, making him afraid for no reason.
But Joss's words made him suddenly enlightened, different positions, different cognitions of things, everything is a natural law, not subject to human will.
Even if Roman stops himself this time, what about next time, next time? As long as you keep getting stronger, you will eventually become what you are now.
"So... It's not me who is wrong, it's the world! Roman smiled evilly, his face swept away with exhaustion, and he thanked Joss:
"Thank you Joss, thank you for being by my side!"
Looking at the reinvigorated Roman, Joss was moved for no reason, hugged Roman tightly, and was about to fight in the field, but was interrupted by the sound of the communication badge.
Roman connected the badge, and Lan Dao on the other end was angry, and he asked with a scowl on his face, "Roman, where are you now?" ”
Roman replied: "I just slaughtered an academy defense area, and now I'm watching the sunset, what's wrong?" ”
Lan Dao didn't answer, but asked again, "Have you ever been back to the headquarters!" ”
Roman denied: "No, something happened!" ”
Lan Dao said: "The warehouse has been robbed, things have been burned, and the murderer is unknown!" But I think it's you! ”
Roman scolded: "I thought it was you!" After all, you are the boss of the infiltration organization, and your son is the fog bone, so you are the most suspicious! If you want to plant a, you're thinking about fart! ”
Lan Dao said quietly: "It is precisely because I am the leader of the infiltration organization that I will not loot the warehouse, because I can't afford the consequences!" ”
Roman was curious: "The consequences? What are the consequences? Isn't it just for you to find out within a time limit! You're the number one, it's not easy to find a scapegoat? ”
Lan Dao snorted coldly: "There are materials urgently needed by the king in the warehouse, and now that the materials are gone, the king is furious and ordered to send a joint investigation team to turn this place upside down!" ”
"Neither of us is clean, there's no guarantee that we won't find anything, and we'll be all done by then!"
Roman looked serious, thought for a while, and then replied: "When I go back, let's meet and talk!" ”
Later, Roman and Joss return to the headquarters, go to a secret room with Randolph, and say, "Tell me about the investigation team." ”
Lan Dao sneered, "What? You are scared, did you rob the warehouse? ”
Roman shook his head: "No, and I advise you to stop framing, it makes no sense, and we are not small in suspicion." ”
"And one of us was caught, and the other couldn't get better, and we both lost everything, so answer my questions well, and we'll figure it out together!"
Lan Dao smiled disdainfully: "I'll just say that, what are you nervous about, the investigation team is composed of multiple agencies, the Holy Spirit Temple, the law enforcement team, the King's Knights, ......"
"At our level, at least one of the leaders will have to come forward, and there will be four or five second-level wizards parachuting into the blessed land to take over here, and there is no guarantee that they won't find out anything at that time!"
"Is it that powerful?" Roman's head tilted, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lan Dao rubbed his temples and said in distress:
"Of course, if you don't see much, I've seen a kind of witchcraft, which can go back in time and see the past, if you only check the warehouse, it's fine, if you check something else, it's trouble!"
Roman looked determined, and he already had a countermeasure in his heart, but Lan Dao was different, thinking of those terrifying criminal investigation methods, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot:
"Roman, the investigation team is here, don't think about it! Hurry up and find a way! ”
Roman looked calm, took a sip of tea, and said, "There is a way to prevent the investigation team from parachuting." ”
Lan Dao's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Say it quickly!" ”
Roman said: "It's very simple, contact the Academy Alliance, let them launch a general attack, the battle is fierce, and then ask for help!" ”
Lan Dao's spirit suddenly perked up, and he immediately figured out the joints in it, and said excitedly:
"That's right, the airborne investigation team is bound to cause disorder in the command system, and I am worried that I will directly defect to the enemy and mutiny, and the whole territory will fall! Therefore, for the sake of the overall situation, the upper echelons must not dare to send an investigation team! ”
The academy attacked, in case Lan Dao really surrendered to the enemy, the war zone fell in minutes, and the high-level had no way at all, if the status quo was maintained, it would be nominally the territory of the Holy Spirit Temple, even if it was actually independent, at least it was neutral.
Then Lan Dao seemed to think of something, and said with a solemn face:
"What if it's not the investigative team, but Gilbert? As the elder of the Holy Spirit Temple, he can take over my command, and he has no shortage of means! What to do? ”
Roman took another sip of tea and continued:
"In order to prevent you from jumping off the wall in a hurry, Gilbert will not really check at first, but will only go through the motions, stabilize you first, and then move the real thing when you repel the foreign enemy."
Lan Dao frowned after hearing this, and asked, "Then what should we do?" ”
Roman smiled mysteriously: "Directly cooperate with the enemy, kill Gilbert, give up the territory to the academy, and there is a warehouse in the defense area to make a nomination!" ”
Lan Dao hesitated, and once he did, he said to him, "I did it,"
But does the king need proof? The strength of the third-level wizard of the king, if you want to clean up your blue road, there are many means!
Roman saw Lan Dao's worries and continued, "Haven't you always wanted to restore the wizard's combat power? You can use the entire defense zone as a bargaining chip to propose a trade to the Academy Alliance..."
After Lan Dao heard this, he immediately gasped, he found that compared to Roman, the pattern was still too small.
As long as the wizard's combat power can be restored, the king will be a fart to him, and he will directly defect to the academy alliance, and the king can't do anything to him at all!
Thinking of this, Lan Dao sneered, "I know what to do!" Then again, why didn't I think of it before! ”
Roman took another sip of tea and replied with a light smile: "Because you have Violet to inherit your mantle, you don't need to be so extreme." ”
Speaking of Violet, Lan Dao couldn't help but be angry, and after snorting coldly at Roman, he left the secret room.
Leaving the secret room, Joss asked with concern, "How is it, is Lan Dao cooperating?" ”
Roman nodded: "It's okay to cooperate, but you can't take it lightly, you have to be ready for the fusion witch array, if something goes wrong, run away!" ”
Joss worried: "Why don't we run now, judging from the current situation, Lan Dao will definitely choose the second option and let the Academy Alliance occupy here." ”
"We have a bitter feud with the Academy Alliance, and their occupation is not a good thing for us."
Roman smiled and said, "You say, what is the academy occupying here for?" Is that worthless land under your feet? ”
Joss was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and replied, "Is it the second treasure house?" ”
Roman nodded: "That's right, there are two warehouses in total, we grabbed one, and the academy must covet the second one, which is also the core bargaining chip of Lan Dao!" ”
Joss asked again, "What does this have to do with us, are we going to put a foot in it?" ”
Roman smiled mysteriously and nodded: "I have an idea, if it goes well, we will be the biggest winners in this multi-party game!" ”
Joss wondered, "So what are we going to do?" ”
Roman shook his head: "Now it's just a general strategy, the details still need to be determined according to the development of the situation, what we have to do now is to digest the fruits of victory, enhance combat power, and improve the chances of winning the next decisive battle!" ”
Although Joss was puzzled, her many successes made her have a superstition about Roman, and she firmly believed that as long as she obeyed Roman's orders, she would definitely not fail!
Over the next few days, Roman and Joss went into retreat, digesting the fruits of their plunder.
Among them, Roman's high concentration of psionic energy reached 30 test tubes, of which 15 test tubes made liquefied runes, accelerated meditation, and increased the degree of liquefaction to 6%.
Joss used the fertilized eggs of wizard qualifications to create a large number of high-quality harmless mutants, increasing the atomization by only 7% in one fell swoop.
At this moment, Lan Dao sent a communication: "Roman, the Academy Alliance is attacking, come out and resist!" ”
