Chapter 2: The warriors of the False Tide Legion have never been so overwhelmed as they are now. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIn the past, no matter how powerful the enemy on the battlefield was, they could not be afraid to retreat, and swords, arrows, guns, spears, and even nails and teeth were their weapons to defend their honor. However, now those brave hearts are trembling, not because of cowardice, but more because of the instinctive awe of the unknown existence and peak power.

The huge silver dragon hovered in the air, its massive scales refracting the eerie brilliance of the sky, almost more dazzling than the rising sun, and he paid no attention to the tidal heavy warriors with shiny spears below.

Within a hundred meters of him, there was a surging dragon power, and ordinary Terran warriors could not enter the range of dragon power at all. Therefore, the center of the wide square in front of the Legion headquarters was empty, and the dense crowd of heavily armored soldiers could only crowd the edge of the square. Without the mage blessing them with a spell to protect them from fear, they would simply not be able to fight within the range of the dragon's might.

It's just that although the soldiers of the Tide Legion are large at the moment, most of the senior officers are nowhere to be seen. In the absence of command, since the silver dragon in the air did not show the slightest sign of using force, then no one would be stupid enough to take the lead in charging the silver dragon. These days, under the silver power of the fat man, the Tide Legion is reviewing the emperor's [***] rules from top to bottom. Now even ordinary soldiers know that it is a great crime to act without the order of the commander, and the style of the fat man is that the punishment for all crimes will be carried out against the upper limit.

What's more, even if the hoplites charged, the seven-meter bayonet spear in their hands couldn't reach the silver dragon in the air, even if the elite warriors who could throw a hundred meters, under the effect of gravity and the huge gap between the strength of humans and dragons, even if they were enough for the silver dragon, it would only tickle him. Unlike the Ice Legion, the Tidal Legion never expected to face the dragon one day, so there was no special weapon in the army that could deal with the dragon.

The divine dragon that had been hovering higher in the sky suddenly let out a long dragon groan, then folded its wings and landed on the zenith terrace of the Tidecorps headquarters. The sacred dragon slowly raised its head to the sky, and the dragon chanted endlessly, like a dozen huge pipe organs playing in an ensemble. The solemn prelude seems to lead the aria in praise of the goddess, and the melody, the harmony, touches the hearts of all beings. When the gorgeous and mysterious rhythm is finally revealed, the grace and majesty of the divine dragon's body can't help but shine with brilliant magical light such as milky white, orange red, azure blue, and turquoise, and streamers and tassels of light condensed around it dance up and down, finally facing the finale full of power and fire.

The worldly time stands still, the Goddess is slowly descending, we bow down to accept her pilgrimage, whether it is merciful or severe, the door of fate is closed and opened again...... At this moment, the content of the hymn flowing through everyone's heart is different.

All of a sudden, the entire city of Sylde stood in awe, and all hearts flocked to the divine dragon perched on the zenith terrace!

The Divine Dragon's wings stretched out, almost standing up, and a particularly high-pitched dragon roar drew a perfect ending note for the hymn, and a pillar of holy light erupted from its mouth and shot straight into the sky!

There was no noise in the great city, some citizens knelt on the ground in awe, and no one among the warriors dared to point the sharp edge of their spears in the direction of the divine dragon.

As for the silver dragon, it has been completely ignored.

However, the zenith terrace where the divine dragon was entrenched was located just above the Temple of Light.

In the temple, the woman who had just sat down on the only throne raised her head slightly, her slightly curved silver eyes looked upward, and her cold gaze instantly penetrated the heavy floor.

She clenched her right hand into a fist and swung it upwards without a sound...... The temple seemed to shake a little.

At this moment, I don't know how many people are staring at the divine dragon that is high above. People suddenly felt that the entire headquarters of the Tide Legion suddenly shone with milky white holy light...... A pillar of holy light as thick as 100 meters suddenly appeared between heaven and earth! At this moment, the eyes and hearts of all beings were already occupied by the divine light that made people have the urge to worship, and nothing else.

Suddenly, the dragon's groan sounded again, and it was extremely clear and loud, louder and louder.

By the time sight had been restored, the divine dragon that had dared to hover over the goddess's head on the zenith terrace had disappeared!

But all beings do not know the mystery, and they are filled with awe of everything that is in front of them, because it is so magnificent, so majestic, and there is nothing but miracles!

The woman's right fist finally fell, and the clenched five fingers opened like an orchid, and gently landed on the armrest of the throne.

Rogge finally let out the breath that had been sitting in his chest for a long time.

He bowed his head respectfully, but his gaze quietly looked in the direction of the throne, but every time his gaze fell on the woman, he would be met with a scorching light, and in that moment, Rogge could not see anything but a vast white. After two sessions, Rogge's eyes were already a little red and swollen, and he didn't dare to try again. But when he peeked around, he saw that when the other people's eyes fell on the woman, they didn't seem to be out of the ordinary.

The fat man wondered if he was the only one who would bump into the dazzling light, or if his eyes were a little more fragile than the others?

At this moment, the woman sitting on the throne can only see Rogge's slender hands all over her body.

In the corner of the temple, Macbeth was standing there, his face cloudy. The wings behind his back have disappeared, and he no longer increases his strength, but he can't escape at all, and if he rushes up to fight, he will be killed, so he can only stand in place, not knowing what to do.

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

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

Rogge strode forward, bowed, and said, "Great Goddess, how do you need me to serve you?"

The silver gaze passed through the heavy doors of the temple and looked out at the vast land in the distance.

Her lips opened slightly, and her cold voice rose, and then it rained down in the air: "I need ...... War!"

With a roar, the heavy door of the temple slowly opened.

Rog strode out of the temple!

He went straight to Wallace and the other generals and lifted Wallace over. Under Rogge's terrifying brute force, Wallace, who was burly and aggressive, had no power to resist!

"You just said that you are going to mobilize fifteen thousand men to attack the city of Sorathu?" Rogge almost put Wallace in the face, gritting his teeth.

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

"Nothing!" roared Rogge.

He let go of Wallace, snatched the march plan from one of the generals, unfolded it with a slam of his hand, hastily swept it up and down, and closed it again.

The fat man turned his head to glare at Wallace and said, "General, this plan is good. But the number of 15,000 needs to be changed. ”

When it came to the military aspect, Wallace immediately became extremely serious. He frowned and said, "This ...... Lord Rogge, if the number of people is small, this plan will be difficult to implement. ”

Rogge immediately shook his head and said, "No, it's not a reduction of soldiers, but an increase, an increase!" General, our Tide Legion, which has a glorious history, has suffered a big loss under the city of Solatu, is it only going to launch an attack? No! I don't think so! What I need is ......."

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

"War!"

The generals looked at each other, wondering why Rogge's attitude had suddenly changed so completely. It seems that the reason for all this lies in the closed door of the Temple of Light. But for this reason, who dares to ask?

Rogge didn't care about the doubts in the generals' hearts, but turned to Wallace and ordered in an unquestioning tone: "Gather all the generals! Hold a military meeting at once! Within ten minutes, I will see all the generals appear in front of me!

Wallace didn't say anything more, the time limit was too short, and he hurried to give the summoning order.

Moments later, dozens of generals gathered in the large conference room on the third floor, watching the fat man hysterically and foaming at the mouth of the pre-war mobilization.

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

The military plan hung high behind Rogge. Rogge suddenly turned around, slapped the emperor [***] rule in his hand on a red dot on the map representing the city of Sorathu, and said: "We are the Tidal Legion, one of the three major legions of the Empire! Those stupid Delaware pigs have made us suffer a big loss, we must not just forget it!"

The fat man had a hideous face, waved the book of emperor [***] rules in his hand, and shouted: "Mobilize every soldier we can mobilize, even the logistics troops and local guard troops, and bring me all those who have received military training and can wield weapons! Not a single one will be left! If we don't set foot on Delaware Yanjing this time, we will never withdraw our troops! Long live the glorious Tidal Army!"

The generals present were all experienced in a hundred battles, and many of them were fierce generals who had always rushed to the front, and the fanatical blood of war in their bones was finally slowly instigated by the fat man! Even if there were a few generals who did not think of the fat man, when they saw the book of imperial rules waving up and down in his hand, they would also remember that he had absolute power to mobilize troops and wage war. The punishment for disobeying military orders is clearly written in military regulations.

However, there are still people among the generals of the Tides who are not afraid of power. An old general stood up and said coldly: "Lord Rogge, Fernandez stationed in Soratu City is not a stupid person, what if he leads a light cavalry to attack Sielder City?"

Rogge snorted and waved his right hand behind him, and Mei immediately came up and whispered. The fat man nodded, and said to the old general, "You really have a point. Since most of your past achievements have to do with the defense of the city, it is up to you to garrison the city of Hilde this time! I will leave you with 2,000 warriors. ”

The old general's face turned blue with anger, but this was already a military order, and he couldn't disobey it.

Another middle-aged general stood up and said, "Lord Rogge, according to your orders, we will dispatch 70,000 troops, including your army, of course. However, the plan behind you is based on the size of the 15,000-strong attack, and the plan is based on the assumption that the soldiers will be the best soldiers in the legion. This one...... IMHO, our army has increased fivefold, and more than half of it is second-rate troops that are not very combat-ready. Rather than rush out, it is better to select only 40,000 of the most elite warriors to attack Delaware. Of course, if you insist on sending 70,000 troops, then we must reformulate our battle plan. ”

Rogge showed an expression of patient listening, muttered for a moment, and said, "Okay, let's reformulate the plan now!"

He picked up a broad pen and drew two huge arrows on the military map, one pointing from the city of Sylde to the city of Sorathu, and the other from the city of Sorathu directly to Delaware Yenking.

Rogge put down his pen, turned around, showed a satisfied smile, looked directly into the middle-aged general's eyes, and shouted: "General, this is the new plan!"

Mei approached Rogge again, and said in a very low voice in his ear, "Lord Rogge, you are so excited. ”

The fat man hummed and secretly took a deep breath, but still couldn't suppress the beating heart. He also knew that he was very out of shape, but he had just stood by the goddess's side for so long, and he had to bear the indescribable coercion all the time. In Rogge's spiritual world, it was not a goddess with an incomparable grace on the throne, but a terrifying storm of energy, a storm that could instantly level the entire Legion headquarters!

In fact, it was not only him, but the generals who had just stood on the terrace, including Wallace, had been in a state of mind until now. Only Mei was surprisingly calm.

Rogge looked around the room and said in the calmest and most powerful voice he could achieve, "That's it." Generals, you go back now and immediately reorganize the army, tomorrow morning, I will lead the army to set off, any army delayed, according to the emperor's [***] regulations!"

The generals knew that this was Rogge's last order, and there was no doubt about it, so they got up one after another. These generals were all brave, and although they were dissatisfied with Rogge's indiscriminate command, it was better to be able to fight than to train troops in the city of Child.

Rogge suddenly remembered something and said, "Everyone, please wait a moment. ”

Seeing that the fat man suddenly opened the emperor's [***] rules and looked at them page by page, the generals couldn't help but put themselves in danger. God knows when he will inexplicably break which military rule and get caught by the fat man.

In fact, Rogge was simply ignoring the military regulations in his eyes at the moment, and he squinted his eyes and searched for them in the military regulations manual, just to hide the silver glimmer that was radiating outward in his eyes.

He quietly relaxed a little of his suppression of the divine power of the goddess of nature. The divine power of the goddess of nature is completely different from the power of the world, although it is still extremely weak at the moment, and the road to growth is still very long, but as soon as Rogge relaxes a little, it immediately wakes up from its silent state, and instantly finds a gap in the spiritual power that Rogge is surrounded by, and pokes out a few tentacles.

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

In an instant, the tentacles of the goddess of nature's divine power had already scanned their surroundings! they sowed several seeds, and then each tentacle began to glow, and it seemed that it was about to trigger the seeds that were in a latent state.

At this moment, the gap in Rogge's spiritual power disappeared!

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

Rogge finally looked up from the Mil-Spec manual and smiled at the generals who didn't realize they had turned around in front of death, a smile so pleasant that it sent chills to their hearts.

Rogge was right, out of protection for the believers, the divine powers of the goddess of nature would evade the devout believers on their own. Therefore, in front of the fat man who bears the wrath of the goddess of nature, all the devout followers of the goddess of nature have nothing to hide.

The fat man connected his fingers, called the eight generals out of the ranks, and then asked the rest of the generals to return to the camp on their own to prepare for tomorrow's expedition.

Rogge then asked his retinue to fetch a statue of the goddess of nature and place it in front of the eight generals.

The fat man paced around the eight generals, and said with a smile: "Generals, you must all know that the druids who had bad intentions not long ago finally launched a rebellion. Of course, in the face 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 crime, the druids are representatives of the goddess of nature's followers after all, and it is difficult to say that it was not the goddess of nature who instructed them to start a rebellion. ”

Listening to Rogge's words, although the eight generals didn't say a word, they all looked angry. But the fat man didn't care, and he continued: "Everyone, give up your faith in the goddess of nature, and the road beckons to you! And a new faith, no less than the goddess of nature, is all around us! Of course, if you are not willing to give up your faith, I think you know very well what awaits you. I've always been a very simple person, that is, I don't deceive, and I don't like to beat around the bush. Now, the choice is yours! Draw your swords and cut down this idol! Prove your faith to me!"

The eight generals were silent for a long time, and an old general with pale hair suddenly drew his sword and walked towards the idol of the goddess of nature. He roared wildly, swinging his sword and suddenly changing direction in the air, stabbing Rog in the chest!

Before Rogge could make a move, the rose behind him suddenly blocked in front of the fat man. Her slender hand flashed, and she had already caught the wrist of the old general's sword. Then Mei's body suddenly flashed with a shining fighting light, and in the click, the old general's elbow had been broken, and the sword in his hand turned around and slashed towards his throat!

Suddenly there was a strong force from Mei's lower back, and she was pulled back violently, and the sword that was supposed to cut the old general's throat only passed in front of his throat.

Rogge stared at Mei coldly and shouted, "You give me the honesty to stand on the side!"

The fat man looked at the old general who had collapsed to the ground and had lost his ability to move, and said lightly: "Before the war, the supreme commander of the assassination front, according to the emperor's [***] regulations, is equivalent to a rebellion, you are already old, even if you die, why bother to involve your family?"

He looked at the other seven generals and said coldly: "Everyone is a smart person, don't do anything that has no hope, lest your family and you die together!

Rogge waited for a moment, but none of the generals answered. He waited no longer, called the guards, put the generals in a military prison, and ordered them to be kept four times as guarded.

Previously, because of Oliver's escape, there was a precedent for all prison guards to be executed. Regardless of personal beliefs, the generals of the Tide Legion are brave and good at fighting, and they also cherish their soldiers very much. Therefore, even if they have the opportunity to escape, they may not be willing to flee for the sake of the surnames of more than 300 guards.

Seeing the eight generals being taken away one by one, Mei sighed lightly: "Lord Rogge, they are all very capable of fighting! Now that the war is in full swing, aren't you afraid that it will affect the combat strength of the army if you put them in prison just because of their different beliefs?"

Rogge shook his head and paced slowly around Mei as he said, "With or without them, we will all win this war." I can't help the great goddess of nature, can't I help her followers?"

Rogge stopped in front of Mei and looked carefully at Mei's beautiful blue-gray eyes, which were fierce and wanted to pierce Mei's heart. He said slowly, "Whether you are a human or a god, you will find that it is not a pleasant thing to go against me. I don't care whether the combat effectiveness of the army is high or low, as long as it is a devout disciple of the goddess of nature, I will kill one when I see one!"

Hearing Rogge's last remark, Mei's heart trembled slightly, but she didn't look anything different on the surface, she just sighed slightly, lifted the idol of the goddess of nature, folded it into two pieces, and then casually threw it into the paper basket in the corner of the room.

This time, even Rogge had to secretly admire.

Because the first thing that the tentacles of the wrath of the goddess of nature bypass is rose.
