Blasphemy: 1 True God Complete
Zhang Yi Zhen Shen
Winter is coming to an end.
The transition from winter to spring is the time when people are most likely to feel lazy and restless, and it is also the time when people are eager to take off their bulky clothes. But anyone who has lived in the North for a long time knows that the real severe cold often occurs when spring is approaching.
This is an unquiet winter. But compared with the coming spring, this winter may still be a little too calm.
The farmers are not interested in war or the power games of the nobles. What they are worried about is that there is too little snow this year, and it seems that the harvest in the new year is difficult to guarantee. Regardless of their New Year's harvest, the noble lords would not lower their taxes. But they are all glad that they are not citizens of the Principality of Arei. They heard that after a new ruler was replaced there, an extremely greedy and lustful female Grand Duchess, the taxes of the Principality of Arei were surprisingly high. After paying taxes, people there can barely survive without starving to death.
But the civilians of the Principality of Are have not complained much about this.
They are still immersed in the dream of turning a small country into a powerful country, enjoying the vanity and joy brought by expansion and mergers. Now among the Holy Alliance, except for a few three or two countries such as the Leiton Kingdom, they no longer pay attention to other countries at all.
The latest topic discussed by the princes and nobles of the Holy Alliance is the massacre in Macul and the new Tikton tribesmen in the Rogge army sequence.
When what happened in Makur reached the ears of the dignitaries of the Holy Alliance countries, the voices in the alliance supporting the three principalities of the Highlands immediately became much weaker. For the first time, these principalities realized Rogge's determination and bloodshed. They knew that Rogge's massacre of Makul was done by Rogge to show to other countries. The meaning could not be clearer. If anyone dares to interfere in the affairs of the Principality of Are again, Whoever will bear the same consequences!
The rebels, who had secret support from several countries, gathered three thousand people in a short period of time, but were completely defeated by Rogge with three thousand troops in one day. After massacring all the prisoners of war, Rogge sent his army to the mountainous area, conquered the Tickton tribe that the Snow Falcon Principality had never conquered, and led eight hundred extremely brave Tickton warriors down the mountain. This gave the Holy Alliance countries a new understanding of the military power of Rogge and the Principality of Are.
Under the leadership of Rogge, the Principality of Are is no longer a small third-rate country that can be ignored at will. If the Arey Principality was a little bigger and its population was a little more, then in another ten years, maybe it would replace the Leyton Kingdom and become the most powerful country in the Holy Alliance.
But now, no country in the Holy Alliance dares to promise victory when facing the Principality of Are. The dignitaries of various countries are not only worried about Rogge's terrifying magic, the terrifying combat power of the Elf Guards, and the newly added Tickton warriors, but what they are really afraid of is Rogge's elf killer. The Holy Alliance countries have been at war with the Asrophek Empire for many years, and no country lacks brave warriors and resolute generals. But no matter how invincible the famous generals are on the battlefield, they are just as vulnerable as ordinary soldiers when faced with a dagger stabbed in the dark or poison in tea. After all, there are only a few generals who are not afraid of death. Most of the powerful nobles in the alliance countries still cherish their precious lives. In the short decades of life, if we don’t enjoy more wine and beautiful women, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?
Therefore, in the face of Rogge's naked death threat of thousands of lives in Makul, the rulers of various countries began to cower.
King Romon of the Kingdom of Leyton has been completely fascinated by the elf Iclaire and obeys her in everything. Although everyone knows that Iclaire never discusses politics, no one doubts that she will. Swear to the death to defend the interests of the elves. In other words, as long as the interests of the elves are involved, the most powerful Kingdom of Leiton in the Holy Alliance will completely side with Rogge. That's going to change, unless King Lomon dies. But people know in their hearts that even if the old king dies, this situation will probably not change. Anyone who has seen Iclaire is fascinated by her beauty, delicacy, melancholy and indifference. They have no doubt that no matter who the successor to the Kingdom of Layton is, they will follow the same path as King Romon after accepting Iclaire.
Among the Holy Alliance, only the equally powerful Kingdom of Levi and Kingdom of Latria are worried about the situation, and are expressing their growing anger at the annexation of the Three Highland Principalities, claiming that they will never give up supporting the Three Highland Principalities. Efforts to restore the principality. After the Makul incident, the kings of the two kingdoms began to order to strengthen war preparations and mobilize the army to prepare for possible attacks by the Rogge and Leyton kingdoms. They also increased the palace's guard strength several times to guard against Rogge's killers. But the two kings still had a glimmer of reason and knew that a full-scale civil war in the Holy Alliance would inevitably trigger the intervention of the Asrophek Empire.
In fact, various intelligence shows that the Asrofic Empire has noticed the new trends of the Holy Alliance, and their troops have begun to gather at the borders of the Holy Alliance.
The powerful Asrophek Empire happened to suppress the possibility of further civil war within the Holy Alliance, and also gave Rogge some precious breathing time.
Although Rogge doesn't have many troops now, even if he forces all his troops out, there will only be 7,000 troops. However, the two thousand elven warriors can be regarded as equal to the best archers of the human race, and the killers and archers of the Dark Side of the Moon have absolute advantages in mounted combat. Although the new Spartan Knights only have seventy heavy knights in total, one hundred and twenty knights will soon complete their initial training and become reserve knights of the Knights. Of course, according to the standards of the original Golden Lion Knights, none of these new knights could meet Charlie's requirements. However, under Rogge's strong request, Charlie had to lower his requirements and expand a lot. He had to intensify the training of the basic skills and fighting spirit of the reserve knights.
Charlie originally wanted to train a Golden Lion Knight again, but Rogge had completely different considerations. Under the command of the invincible Ofiloch, the Golden Lion Knights only had more than 500 knights after several years of development. Although the individual combat effectiveness was extremely strong, the small number greatly reduced the overall combat effectiveness. If the fighting spirit requirement of a single golden lion knight is reduced from level ten to level nine, the number can be doubled to at least one thousand knights. If the requirement is reduced to level eight, the number can be doubled again to two thousand knights.
When he was still a gangster, Rogge already understood the only way to defeat the weak and the strong: encircle Europe! He is not interested in defeating more with less, and he also knows that the pursuit of individual strength becomes more difficult the later you go. So he was more interested in increasing the number of good warriors.
After lowering the requirements, the Spartan Knights will soon be able to add 200 heavily armored knights. These knights have the original Golden Lion Knights as their backbone. Under the leadership of Charlie, they have the ability to turn the tide of the war in one fell swoop on local battlefields. But Rogge did not intend to put this trump card into the battlefield easily. Charlie and the Golden Lion Knights are like a hen that is very good at laying eggs. As long as they are around, excellent heavy knights will be trained one by one. In Rogge's mind, excellent knights and warriors are just consumables. People like Charlie and the Golden Lion Knight are truly irreplaceable and indispensable. So Fatty didn't hesitate and gave each of them a set of precious dragon scale armor.
The eight hundred Ticton warriors made Rogge very happy!
There are 600 male warriors and 200 female warriors among the Tickton warriors. They are all tall and powerful, and they are all handsome in appearance. Even the relatively short female warrior is about the same height as Androni, which means she is half a head taller than Rogge.
Tickton warriors are extremely strong. Adult male warriors can easily wield a forty kilogram axe, and female warriors can also use the standard fifteen kilogram tomahawk of heavy infantry at will. After repeated trials, it was found that the male warriors of Tickton can be equipped with super-heavy steel armor weighing one hundred kilograms, while the female warriors can wear 80 kilograms of full-body armor without affecting the battle. This is completely a movable fortress! What's even more frightening is that all Tickton warriors have the unique skill of throwing spears, and the lethality at medium and short range is extremely terrifying. Rogge himself experienced this deeply from Mayila's spear throwing. Because of their immense strength, some Tickton warriors who can use super-heavy hard bows are also archers who are not weaker than the elves. The powerful lethality of their heavy arrows can completely make up for the deviation in the crosshairs.
All in all, these Tickton warriors are the best born heavy infantry and the natural nemesis of any cavalry. Their only drawback is that there are so few of them.
With the Elf Archers, Dark Side of the Moon, Spartan Knights and Tickton Warriors, Rogge now has a small number of troops, but his combat power is extremely strong. What's more, he also has many powerful people around him, such as Androni, Froya, Fengdie, Zagur, Frey, Raphael, etc. Of course, Hughes, who doesn't know when he will be able to take action, can also be counted as half. Judging from the number of strong men alone, the Principality of Are can indeed look down upon the entire Holy Alliance.
The small Principality of Arei suddenly became stronger and stronger.
But Roger also has troubles.
Although the combat effectiveness of his troops is strong, their numbers are too small. Needless to say, if a big empire like Asrophek goes to war with a second-rate power like the Leyton Kingdom, the other side can definitely use Rogge's favorite tactic of using more to fight fewer, with an army of 50,000 to 60,000 people coming to kill, ten to one. Naturally, Rogge's poor troops were overwhelmed.
But there is also a female Grand Duchess Adele in the Principality of Are. Her madness surprised Rogge too!
Even if the newly annexed province of Rector is included, the population of the Principality of Are is only over six million. However, Adele actually forcibly recruited 80,000 new soldiers and trained them day and night.
Regardless of the training level of the recruits, the equipment and food required alone are not a small sum. Fortunately, as long as King Romon survives, the Kingdom of Leiton will be the most reliable ally of the Principality of Arey. Regarding the difficulties faced by the Principality of Arey, King Romon completely ignored the objections of his ministers and shipped a large amount of food and equipment to the Principality of Arey. . Of course, due to the obstruction of thoughtful people, the food that could be transported to the Principality of Arei was only old grains, and the weapons and equipment were also inferior leather armor, wooden shields, copper knives and iron guns. All in all, there is just enough weapons for 20,000 people.
As for Adele's madness, all the Holy Alliance countries, including the Kingdom of Leiton, did not take it seriously. Not to mention how difficult it is to purchase equipment for 80,000 people, even the amount of food consumed is by no means a small amount. There is very little snow this winter, and the entire Holy Alliance will have a bad harvest in the new year. Famine in the Principality of Are is almost foreseeable.
But what the Holy Alliance countries don't know is that there is an oracle city behind Rogge. After restoring the magic power, supported by the huge vitality of the silver dragon egg, the barrier of the ancient elf tree expanded to almost the entire valley. Elves are also proficient in natural magic, and their ability to control plants is unparalleled in the world. Even in the severe cold winter, the grains in the valley can be ripe every month, and the grain produced can fully meet the needs of an army of 40,000.
Now the elf craftsmen in the City of Oracle are working hard to prepare the special heavy armor of the Tickton warriors. This kind of heavy armor consumes a lot of materials and labor, and is not easy to make, so you can only wait slowly. But once the Tickton warriors are armed, that's when Rogge will raise his butcher knife against the Holy Alliance again.
With the national strength of the Arei Principality, if it supports these 80,000 troops for more than a year, the national treasury will inevitably go bankrupt. It can also be said that Adele has forced Rogge to the point where he has to take a big gamble!
In order to concentrate financial resources to develop the military, Adele has collected all the luxury goods from the Grand Duke's Palace and is preparing to use them to pay for the purchase of military supplies and food from the Kingdom of Leighton. The Grand Duke's Palace in Dresden is still grand and majestic outside, but once inside, you will find a rare shabbyness. There are not a single antique or porcelain that can be seen in the palaces of princes and nobles in other countries, and there are only two pairs of armors and swords placed in the hall.
Rogge was also surprised when he first returned to the Grand Duke's Mansion. When he saw Adele who came to greet him without any jewelry on her body, he didn't know what to say. When he saw the recruitment plan and military preparation progress reported to him by Adele, he couldn't help feeling dizzy. He is also a gambler by nature, but he never thought he could gamble so crazily!
Rogg knew that the frenzied expansion of the Arey Principality would definitely arouse the vigilance of the Holy Alliance countries. Now he had no choice but to rely on the influence of the Leyton Kingdom to suppress the opposition voices within the Holy Alliance, at least delaying the intervention of various countries for a period of time. By that time, his army has been fully trained, so he doesn't need to look at the face of any country.
After sitting for a whole day, Rogge finished reading the important official documents of the Principality of Are during this period. His study room is now empty except for books and necessary utensils, and all the decorations have been exchanged for food by Adele. Seeing all this, Rogge could only smile bitterly. He immediately sent an elf messenger to the City of Oracle to collect jewelry. With the rich collection of the elves for thousands of years, this army of 80,000 people could still afford it.
Although Rogge is busy now, he has more free time than before. In terms of government affairs, there is Hilley, in military management, there is Charlie, and in terms of finance and armament, Adele has also proven her ability. What Rogge needs to think about now is the situation in the entire north.
The days passed in such a hurry.
That morning, as soon as Roger opened a file, there was a gentle knock on the door. Then an attendant came in and said: "Master Rogge, there are a few people outside the Grand Duke's palace who want to see you. They look like magicians. They said that they will definitely meet them after you read this letter. Now the steward has entertained them well in the living room. You see..."
Rogge was noncommittal, opened the letter and took a look. His expression changed drastically and he immediately said: "Where are they? Take me there immediately!"
When he walked into the living room, four mysterious visitors were already waiting there.
They were wearing dark black robes, which seemed to be the standard attire of magicians. Seeing Rogge coming in, the four of them all stood up. The one in the middle took off his hat, revealed his beautiful face, and said with a smile: "Master Rogge, we meet again. How do you appreciate the gift you gave us last time?" Are you satisfied?"
"You are...Mora!" Rogge whispered.
The visiting girl is none other than Mora, the sacrifice of the Eye of Wisdom back then, and also Fengyue’s second coordinate in this world.
Rogg then remembered his embarrassment when he led the crowd to encircle and suppress the Eye of Wisdom, and couldn't help but blush on his face. But he became much thicker-skinned in recent years and immediately returned to his normal state. He smiled and said, "It turns out to be Saint Mora. I didn't expect you to come here in person. The Demon Eye Tyrant you sent last time was so timely. Thank you very much. But please don’t blame me for being rude and rude. Why did you do me such a big favor? Remember that I once surrounded you."
Mora chuckled softly, and a golden light on her forehead kept rising and falling with her laughter: "That day, Mr. Rogge was... Hehe! He was so heroic! Well, I'll come here this time. You have received the will of our god. The decision to seal the Demon Eye Tyrant and give it to you is also based on her oracle."
"Wait a minute, the Demonic Eye Tyrant was originally a creature that was supposed to live in the underground abyss. How did it come to the surface? And as far as I know, creatures like the Demonic Eye Tyrant shouldn't survive much in the surface world. Time."
Mora sighed softly and said: "This should start with Lord Amaro. Master Balang, the former elder of the Eye of Wisdom, accidentally discovered a part of Lord Amaro's body that was sealed: One eye. The one guarding this eye at that time was the Demon Eye Tyrant. It didn't know how it escaped to the surface world. When Balang found it, the Demon Eye Tyrant was already dying. But it turned to Ba Lang. Lord Lang said that it was the divine servant of the great Lord Amaro and had been guarding this eye. Lord Balang took it home and, according to its request, created a magic circle to allow it to survive. environment, and provide it with food. In return, it also provides Balang with several powerful magics."
She took a sip of tea and continued: "Lord Balang is a great magician. Within a few days after he placed this evil eye tyrant, he sensed Lord Amaro's will and resurrected Lord Amaro. It was not an easy task, and it was difficult for him to do it alone, so he summoned several magic apprentices and founded the Eye of Wisdom. After that, he sensed Lord Amaro's spirit several times. The decree was given, and the will of Lord Amaro was successfully contacted through the method provided by the Demonic Eye Tyrant."
At this point, Maura's golden eyes dimmed, apparently remembering that she had also been a victim of this 'method' back then.
But she still forced a smile and said: "Because of this, Master Barang has always believed that this evil-eyed tyrant is really the servant of God. It was not until the summoning ceremony that day that we finally received the blessing of the true God. We truly The god, the goddess whose rank is much higher than Lord Amaro, Odaireh, has finally descended directly into this world."
Remembering the girl in gray robe and silver eyes that day, Rogge's heart jumped wildly, and the fat on his face trembled unnaturally. I don't know why, when facing her, he always has unexplainable fear and an inexplicable heartbeat. Is this Audreyh really a god?
Mora sighed softly and said: "I was lucky enough to be chosen by the goddess to become her direct spokesperson in the world. Her beacon in this world has also changed from a sacrifice to a saint with the eye of wisdom. When Carmon accompanied me back to the headquarters of the Eye of Wisdom, the Demonic Eye Tyrant refused to acknowledge my identity as a saint, nor the great goddess Audreyh. But I have the favor of the goddess, the Demonic Eye. The tyrant's mind control cannot affect me at all, but it can affect Balang. During that time, with the help of Master Calmon, I also gathered a group of believers in the Eye of Wisdom to try to compete with Balang."
"But our power is still weak, but the oracle asked us to seize Lord Amaro's body, so we can only persist. Fortunately, the evil eye tyrant cannot leave the magic circle too far, and my power is also increasing every day. As she grew, she became more supportive. Not long ago, the great Odaireh came to the world again. Her omnipotent power instantly destroyed all believers who were not firm in their faith, and sealed the evil eyes that pretended to be servants of God. Tyrant. In this way, I truly took over the Eye of Wisdom, and based on the oracle, I sent you the Tyrant of the Demonic Eye."
Roger looked at Mora and the three magicians behind her with some surprise. He had a good memory and still vaguely remembered meeting these magicians at the Eye of Wisdom branch that day.
Moura smiled slightly and said: "Lord Rogge, it was the three of them who placed me on the altar that day. But now, we are all loyal believers of Audreyh. In the face of faith, the past Everything is unimportant. Moreover, I would also like to thank the three of them. If they had not brought me to the altar, I would not have received the blessing of the true God and had the honor to contribute to Audreyh's great cause. ..."
Roger smiled and asked: "Then what is the purpose of your visit this time? Isn't it to let me join the Eye of Wisdom?"
Mora smiled and said: "That's right."
Roger was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Miss Mora, you are not so naive as to think that a demon-eyed tyrant can buy my faith, are you? The price must be higher no matter what, I am As for a magician, it is very difficult for a magician to believe in a **** who is not famous. And anyway, I have already used that magic eye tyrant, and I can’t pay it back even if I want to!"
Maura chuckled. She had an ethereal temperament, which made her smile even more beautiful.
"Sir Rogge is indeed as the great Audreyh said. Although he is very capable, the skills of rogues are even better! Don't worry, I am not here to force you to join the Eye of Wisdom. This is The great Audreyh has said that she will come and talk to you personally."
"What!" Rogge jumped up immediately. Looking at the snickering Maura, he immediately realized his gaffe, sat down heavily, and snorted nonchalantly, showing that he was not afraid at all.
Moura smiled softly again and said: "In front of the great power of Audreyh, there is nothing to be ashamed of being afraid. Master Rogge, I came here this time to ask you to allow me to be in Duke Ale Spread the teachings of the Eye of Wisdom on the territory of the country and develop believers. In return, our believers will fully support your rule. You know, we already have 50,000 believers in the Kingdom of Leiton and will soon be able to openly preach. Whether you have our support or not is not a trivial matter for you."
Roger pondered, this suggestion was very exciting. With the precedent of the Church of Light before him, he knew very well the power of faith, and he also understood very well the huge potential and influence of a religion with a large number of devout believers. But religion is a double-edged sword. In the early stages of its development, it will indeed help one's rule. However, once it grows, it will be difficult to control. If not, it will knock oneself off the throne.
More importantly, there seems to be some problems with the belief in the Eye of Wisdom. The previous **** Amaro seemed to be a demon who was not very powerful. Of course, Rogge knows that any demon that needs to be sealed is not a fuel-efficient lamp. At least these things are difficult to completely eliminate, which is enough to show how powerful they are. Although Rogge himself is not easily killed completely, there is still a big gap between him and these demon creatures.
But Rogge’s knowledge is no longer what it used to be. He once saw a scale of Demon General Ates, escaped side by side with Elesis, the Demon Princess, and even saw the Pig King wearing armor fighting to the death. In his mind, he felt that the demons were nothing more than that. How powerful could a middle-lower demon be?
As for the current goddess Audreyh, judging from the feeling that day, she is not a very powerful god. Rogge even doubted whether she was not as powerful as the Pope.
But isn’t a **** who is not overly powerful exactly what he needs? Roger thought.
At this moment, Rogge had already turned away countless thoughts. He smiled and said: "As long as the Eye of Wisdom Church supports me, I can allow you to develop believers in my territory and give you the opportunity to establish your own. The rights of the temple. As for whether to tax you, I will wait until I meet the great Audreyh to discuss this matter."
Mora stared in disbelief and said: "Lord Rogge! What are you talking about? Do you want to tax the believers of the great goddess Audreyh?"
Roger smiled and said: "I haven't made a final decision yet, it's just an idea."
Rogge, who once served as the guardian knight of the Church of Light, knew the importance of abundant money for the spread of religion, and he was determined to block the Eye of Wisdom from it. At the very least, it would be a good bargaining chip.
Mora was still an ordinary girl back then, but now that they are reunited, it seems that she has already cultivated tenth level of fighting spirit, and her progress is extremely rapid, which is obviously related to that Odaireh. As for the three magicians behind her, they are all seventh- and eighth-level magicians, and their magic power is not weak.
These are all resources, Rogge thought to himself.
Mora stared at Rogge with interest, then suddenly smiled and said: "Sir Rogge, people who are favored by gods are indeed different. You also met Audrey He that day. You still dare to bargain now! I really admire you!"
Roger's heart skipped a beat, but on the surface he remained very calm, showing no signs of timidity.
Mora stood up ~IndoMTL.com~ and said: "Okay, Lord Rogge. I know you are busy with business, so I won't waste your time. Since you agreed, we can stay on the land of the Principality of Arei. To spread teachings, when can we get the formal permission?"
Rogge thought for a while and said: "Miss Mora, please settle down first and tell the manager of the Grand Duke's Mansion your contact information later. I will ask them to complete all the procedures as soon as possible. It will take a few days." Within days, you can officially spread the doctrine and recruit followers. As for the time in these few days, it will not be wasted. You can first choose a suitable place to build the temple of the Eye of Wisdom. As for other things, Let’s talk about it later.”
Mora stood up, bowed to Rogge, and said: "Master Rogge, I admire your courage and determination very much. It seems that you have decided to bargain with Odaireh. I will give you The meaning was truthfully conveyed to the great goddess."
Roger smiled and said: "Miss Mora, I don't want to bargain, but I want our cooperation to be smoother and both of us to receive greater benefits. From my experience, the Eye of Wisdom There are still big deficiencies in the recruitment of believers and the dissemination of teachings. There are some problems with at least a few of the costumes. If Miss Mora is interested, I hope to have dinner with you tomorrow night. At that time, you can give me details. I will explain the doctrines and rituals of the Eye of Wisdom and everything about the great Odaireh. I think my suggestions will be helpful to the development of the Eye of Wisdom."
