Blasphemy: 3 bravely exit

The imperial army did not continue to march into the dark forest, but returned directly to the imperial capital. The City of Clouds and Nights has now become a historical term, and Alexander has gained the upper hand in the battle with the Imperial Prime Minister Straw.

Although the price of victory was the lives of 40,000 soldiers, the adventure was still successful, and the two famous imperial generals no longer had to continue taking risks in the dark forest.

But among the 40,000 warriors who died in the battle, 5,000 Poseidon warriors were included. Now in terms of strength comparison, although the two famous generals have the absolute upper hand, there is also Frederick's 'Tide' army in Straw's camp, which is not completely without resistance.

At this time, Rogge had already purchased a mansion in the Imperial Capital. After hurriedly packing it up, he moved in. Because of the special nature of the Wrath of the Goddess of Nature, the fat man hid in his mansion as soon as he returned to the imperial capital. He did not even meet the emperor and only said that he was seriously ill.

Anyway, Pompey and Alexander would have to deal with everything before the emperor.

At noon that day, Pompey and Alexander came to visit Rogge in seclusion and had lunch together.

The scene at lunch seemed very strange.

There is a long dining table ten meters long in the large restaurant. The two famous imperial generals sat at one end of the dining table, while Rogge sat at the other end of the long dining table.

The servants who delivered the food never came within five meters of Rogge. Androni delivered the few simple dishes in front of Rogge. Then, she quietly sat behind Roger.

Roger was wearing a thick velvet black robe, his feet were bare, and his attire looked very strange. However, Pompey and Alexander were no longer surprised. While taking food, they briefed Rogge on the progress of the imperial political situation.

After the army returned to the imperial capital, the emperor was indeed furious, but after Tao Tian's anger passed, he only gave Alexander and Pompey trivial punishments.

This result was already expected by everyone.

"How about Straw's loss?" Rogge asked as he inserted a piece of beef and put it into his mouth. As soon as the beef was imported, he suddenly bit into it with all his strength!

After a sharp hissing sound, Rogge opened his mouth and spat out the chewed beef. This well-roasted piece of beef has now turned into a dark green strange thing, still trembling from time to time, and occasionally letting out a thin scream.

No matter what it was once, it has been chewed up by Rogge and can no longer cause trouble.

Pompeo turned a blind eye to the strange sight in front of him and said: "The gift we gave him was surprisingly effective. I heard that this time not only a few Abyss Naga Queens came out, but also a Dark Spider Queen!" Trau's Hutu warriors suffered heavy casualties, and almost all the Druids who helped him were killed. This is the big gain."

"Oh? This way they can re-seal the Gate of the Abyss, which is amazing!" Rogge said.

"I think Straw must still have a few cards in his hand that we don't know about!" Alexander said calmly: "However, no matter how many chances he has, since we have the upper hand, if we can still make him win back In the game of cards, Lord Pompey and I have been carrying troops for decades in vain."

Roger suddenly thrust his hand into the thick tabletop, dug out a struggling mutated piece of wood, and crushed it to pieces.

He frowned slightly and said, "Sorry, these little things are a little too active today."

Before he finished his sentence, he tilted his head back slightly, letting out a faint black light.

It was a thin strip of black cloth, which turned out to be a piece of cloth on the shoulder of his robe. In an instant, the nail of Rogge's left index finger had stretched out a few inches, and the tip revealed a sharp edge that shone with a cold light. His left hand trembled slightly in the air a few times, and he cut the strip of cloth into several sections.

Androni suddenly reached out and tore off a piece of the back of his black robe, rubbing it in her hands as if nothing had happened. The piece of cloth turned into a small piece of blue crystal, which she casually Thrown into the fireplace.

Looking at Androni's effortless technique, both Pompey and Alexander showed admiration.

Roger smiled and said: "I'm really sorry, these little things are becoming more and more outrageous. Let's continue talking! Should our next target turn to Frederick? I heard that he is the goddess of nature. The most steadfast believer! Of course, we are only targeting him. Now that the empire has lost a lot of troops, it is best for the soldiers of the 'Tide' Legion not to be affected in any way."

Pompeo nodded and said: "Yes! Straw is a politician, and he may still compromise with us when the situation is extremely unfavorable, but Frederick is different. He is a believer. Now we have overthrown Yun Xiaozhi" It is absolutely impossible for him to stand on our side. However, after he believed in the Druid approach, his heart became too soft, which was contrary to the iron-blooded tradition of the empire. In recent years, he has no powerful power in his hands. The Tide Legion has made no progress on the southeastern front. Therefore, he really has too many things to grasp. I think the next target will be set on him. Once Frederick falls, Straw will You can no longer fight us."

Alexander sighed and said: "Frederick is getting more and more confused as he gets older! He has been against the wall on the southeastern front for three years, and he still clings to the Druid thing! I think back then, he was once With only 20,000 people, we secured the territory of three provinces for the empire!"

The three of them were discussing how to bring down Frederick, and suddenly the attendant reported: "The Chief Steward of the Palace of Saravanlo requested to see Mr. Rogge!"

The High Steward Sarah Wenlo is the old steward who always stands by the Emperor's side. The real power in his hands was so great that even Pompey and Alexander were afraid of even three points.

So when the slow old man walked in, all three of them stood up to greet him.

"The Emperor heard that Mr. Rogge was seriously ill and was very worried, so he asked me to see how Mr. Rogge's condition is." The old manager's voice was as slow and lifeless as his movements.

Rogg took two steps forward and said with a smile: "Look, I am already so ill, how can I dare to meet the emperor? If it affects the emperor, my small principality cannot bear this. What a serious crime!"

Rogg's originally very luxurious black robe was now in tatters, like a beggar's attire. There were several big holes on the long dining table, and the chair he was sitting on was turned into wooden slats all over the floor.

The old manager nodded, slowly moved his thin and dry body, walked past Rogge, and came directly to the dining table. He stretched out a withered finger, tapped the table lightly, and a piece of wood suddenly bounced up from the long table.

There was nothing unusual about the wooden block when it popped up, but after flying in the air, it suddenly changed color, and then turned into a strange, gelatinous, crazily squirming creature. More than a dozen tentacles with sharp tips suddenly stretched out from its body, but these tentacles danced in the air in a daze, obviously not finding the target.

The old manager opened his hand like a dead branch, and the strange creature had fallen into his palm. Those tentacles were waving desperately in the air, but none of them dared to stab the old manager's hand.

The old manager brought the mutated creature to his eyes, looked at it with cloudy eyes for a long time, and then put it back on the dining table.

When it left the old manager's hand, the strange creature had turned back into an ordinary piece of wood and landed on the table with a clang.

The old manager closed his eyes as if falling asleep.

The restaurant was extremely quiet, everyone was waiting with bated breath.

I don’t know how long it took, but the old manager finally opened his eyes. His dim old eyes looked at Rogge for a while, and then he slowly said: "Lord Rogge, it seems that you have been struck by the wrath of the goddess of nature. . This is one of the top magic in natural magic. Fortunately, its power has been dispersed and not completely concentrated on you alone, so you have been able to support it until now. But it has been deeply implanted in your body. It’s the divine power of the Goddess of Nature. I can’t think of any way to expel the divine power. The only person who can possibly expel the divine power of the Goddess of Nature now is the Pope of the Church of Light.”

Rogg was silent for a moment and suddenly asked: "How long can I live if I don't expel the divine power?"

The old manager said slowly: "Although the divine power of the goddess of nature is very weak at the moment, it will slowly absorb the power of nature and gradually grow stronger. Attacks that come in response to her summons will become increasingly difficult to guard against. . There are two ways to crack it, one is to find someone to expel the divine power from your body, and the other is that your own strength growth rate can suppress the growth rate of divine power. However, there is a limit to the growth of strength, but there is no end to the growth of divine power. .So Mr. Rogge, how long you can live depends on your own efforts. Of course, you can hide in places such as the Demon Realm, Heaven Realm or Baator Abyss where there are no natural forces at all, so that your condition will at least not be affected. Deterioration."

He paused and sighed desolately: "Because you need to apply for the use of the goddess's divine power, when you cast the wrath of the goddess of nature, you need the entire life and magic power of at least three Druid elders as a price to be successful. .So...Master Rogge, please rest in peace."

Looking at the figure of the old manager staggering away, Roger smiled noncommittally, returned to the dining table, and said with a smile: "Two adults, this is quite good news, I can still support it for a long time. . Let’s continue to talk about how to remove Frederick from power!”

Pompeo and Alexander also showed a hint of admiration. They had just sat down when they heard the report from the attendant: "The Prime Minister of the Empire, Mr. Straw, wants to see three adults!"

The three of them looked at each other, unable to guess the purpose of Straw's visit at this time.

A moment later, Straw walked into the restaurant casually. He couldn't help but be startled when he saw Rogge's tattered robe and the messy furniture in the room. But he immediately returned to smiling, as if he hadn't seen anything unusual.

The demeanor and demeanor of this powerful official who has held the power of the empire for decades are all chosen for the moment, which is heartbreaking.

"The three adults gathered here must be discussing how to send General Frederick to the gallows, right?" Straw said with a smile.

Roger and others were shocked, but no one said anything, quietly waiting for Straw's next words.

Straw's eyes passed over the three faces one by one, and then he said: "If you are having some trouble with this matter, maybe I can help."

A flash of surprise flashed across the faces of Pompey and Alexander. Although they knew that Straw was very Machiavellian, they still felt ill-prepared for this proposal. No matter from which aspect, Straw still has many opportunities to turn the situation back.

Rogge nodded thoughtfully.

Pompeo smiled and said: "Why does Lord Straw have this suggestion?"

Straw said: "Pompeo and Lord Alexander are unparalleled in their demeanor, and the troops used in the attack on Yunxiao City are unpredictable. However, although Yunxiao City was destroyed, the soldiers who died in the battle of Binghe and Poseidon were all around. More than 10,000. Especially for the Poseidon Legion, I heard that more than 3,000 sets of Wave Armor were permanently damaged this time."

Both Pompey and Alexander nodded in recognition.

Straw continued: "In the battle at the Gate of the Abyss, among the 50,000 Hutu soldiers stationed there, 37,000 were killed, and more than 6,000 were seriously injured and disabled. In addition, With the previous losses of the Poseidon Legion at the Gate of the Abyss, the empire... has lost a hundred thousand soldiers!"

Straw paused for a moment, then said with a trembling voice: "Sir, don't you think that the internal fighting between us has gone too far? These are the 100,000 most elite warriors in the empire. Ah! So, I am here to ask for your surrender. Tomorrow, I will resign as the imperial prime minister, and all the Hutu warriors will obey the orders of you. I believe that with the talents and strategies of these people, they will not be able to surrender. You will treat my Hutu people poorly!"

After saying that, Straw stood up from his seat, adjusted his clothes, and knelt down on the ground!

Alexander and Pompey immediately stepped forward and helped Straw up one from the left and the other from the right.

"Lord Straw..." Alexander said hoarsely. This generation of military **** of the empire didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Lord Straw, why are you doing this?" Pompeo sighed, "As the Prime Minister of the Empire, apart from you, I will never think of anyone else."

Straw sighed heavily and said: "Twenty years ago...Twenty years ago, the four of us fought in all directions and how much territory we conquered for the empire? Unexpectedly...twenty years later, there would be one hundred thousand Soldiers died in our civil war! I haven't been able to sleep well these days!"

"Yes! The four of us...Oh, Frederick..." Alexander also sighed.

"Frederick can no longer turn back. But the 'Tide' legion he led cannot suffer any damage. The imperial soldiers can no longer withstand another disaster." Straw said: "Let's do this, I will tomorrow Immediately send a secret letter to him and ask him to rush to the imperial capital for assistance. He will definitely not be suspicious, and he will only bring a small number of warriors to protect him. At that time, we only need to send some people to ambush halfway..."

Both Pompey and Alexander nodded, thinking this plan was feasible. Although the last obstacle is about to be removed, their mood cannot be relaxed in any way.

Straw turned to look at Rogge again and said: "Master Rogge, your illness..."

Roger smiled and said: "Don't worry, Lord Straw, my illness doesn't matter, I will definitely be able to participate in the Empire's Southern Expedition."

Straw was startled, thought for a moment, and immediately understood that the empire's territory was now expanding, and the easiest and most feasible breakthrough was the southeastern front that Frederick was originally responsible for.

Straw immediately nodded and said: "Don't worry, Lord Rogge, I think it won't be long before your sword edge can point to the southeast of the empire!"

As night fell, the three important ministers who had dominated the empire for more than twenty years left one by one, leaving only Roger and Androni in the empty restaurant.

"Rogge..." Androni hesitated for a long time, and finally said softly: "Abandon everything here and come back to the south with me. I will ask my father to come forward, and the Pope will definitely agree to expel the goddess of nature from your body. Divine power."

Roger looked around at the messy restaurant, and after a moment, he shook his head silently.

"Roger!" Androni's voice rose a little: "Didn't you understand what Sarah Wenlo said? Unless the Pope is willing to help you, the other road is a dead end! The difference between this, It’s just that you will die sooner or later! What can a dead person do? Haven’t you always only pursued profits? In the past, you only wanted to fight back to the south, and you could still say that power and wealth were waiting for you. ~IndoMTL.com~What about now? ?! What can you gain by being so persistent? If that doesn’t work, you can pretend to surrender to the church! As long as you can expel the divine power!"

Roger shook his head and sighed: "Is it possible that we can deceive the Pope?"

"Then give up! Elesis has been dead for so long, why are you bothering? Do you really love her so deeply? You have only been with her for a total of time and met her a few times. , what words have you said? Don’t lie to yourself, you are not the kind of person who is passionate at all! If you want to pursue power, the Pope can give you enough power! If you want to pursue power, my family can also give you power. ! Everything you want can be obtained in the south, so why do you have to be an enemy of the Church of Light?"

Androni's voice grew louder as she spoke: "Have you ever thought about how big the gap is between you and the Pope? I didn't feel his power at all before, but since entering the Holy Realm, my power Every time I improve, I become more afraid when I think of the Pope! Do you understand what this means?"

Roger was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head and said: "Annie, I have experienced too much, and I have forgotten many things from that year. But this matter... is the only purpose that I can remember..."

He suddenly grinned, patted Androni on the shoulder and said: "In the worst case, I will turn into a lich, and won't this **** divine power be broken?"
