Chapter 258 Twilight of the Gods (1/2)
After the Second Fleet of the Empire arrived at the front battlefield where the Dark Elf Army was chasing, several other fleets also arrived at the periphery of the battlefield.
They are also the ace elites of the Empire. Now young people with dreams are eager to join the Empire Fleet and prove themselves in the battle of the other plane.
The Empire also attaches great importance to this new type of armed force with mobility and attack capabilities far exceeding traditional infantry and cavalry. The regular army of the first echelon has begun to fleet.
That is, local garrison troops, important enough nodes, are also equipped with corresponding small warships and air force to enrich their combat methods.
However, it is interesting that the total number of warships owned by several regular fleets of the Empire is only equivalent to that of the Second Fleet.
This is related to the manufacturing speed of the God's Sin, and also because of Roger's special status in the Qingteng Empire. Otherwise, the marshal who dared to do this would have been sanctioned by the Queen of Eternal Night long ago.
Because the Queen didn't want to pay attention to him, but trusted him enough and would not suspect that he wanted to betray herself, Roger could expand his fleet unscrupulously and have his own shipyard in the Star Realm.
To those who don't understand, this is a move that he can abandon the independence of the empire directly if he disagrees with something.
So the emails impeaching him have never stopped, and people often argue in various meetings whether Roger has too much power and whether the military he controls is too strong...
Unfortunately, the Queen of Eternal Night didn't say anything, and Angelina mediated. Although both the cabinet and the parliament had great opinions on Roger and hoped that the army he controlled could be returned to the management of the empire, it was all useless.
The Queen of Eternal Night's mind was like a mirror, and Roger also deliberately wanted to provoke those people.
If the Second Fleet was reorganized, the Queen of Eternal Night would definitely come forward for such a big thing. Wouldn't that give him a reason to sneak into the palace?
So put it aside and don't discuss it. This is how the Queen of Eternal Night dealt with these impeachments.
However, what's infuriating is that in the eyes of the Queen of Eternal Night, this is clearly an act of disdain for Roger, but in the eyes of those ministers, they think that His Majesty's favor for Mr. Luo is beyond measure, and all kinds of rumors have never stopped.
Some people also talked about the fact that the two often acted and traveled together in the past, trying to dig out the true relationship between the Queen of Eternal Night and Duke Roger.
Because of the strength of the empire, some old ministers started discussing that the Queen of Eternal Night had never urged her to get married, and some people hinted that a certain duke could be promoted to a prince.
In this way, we don’t have to worry about a certain duke holding enough fleets and then possibly becoming independent...
The marriage between the Shelley family and the Charles family is definitely a win-win, with many benefits, and it is absolutely the right operation to kill many birds with one stone!
Whenever I hear these discussions, or even someone deliberately sends the analysis to the Queen of Eternal Night, she will almost get angry.
What era are you still playing this game of noble marriage?
Although I can’t live for thousands of years, if there is such a day, I will just abdicate directly, and the empire does not necessarily have to be a family dynasty to operate.
So marriage is impossible, and don’t even think about marriage in this life.
Because you don’t understand at all, how bad a duke who is almost perfect in your eyes is!
Although, there are some things that the Queen of Eternal Night can't say. Although the status of women in the empire is not low, the remnants of feudal ideas still exist heavily. Ordinary people don't think that Roger's "romanticism" is a big problem.
An excellent man conquers excellent women. Isn't that the proof of his ability and charm?
As long as there is no special XP that violates the law and morality, the imperial nobles are very tolerant in this regard.
It is precisely for this reason that the fleet marshals of each fleet have implemented the decision of Roger to take charge of the front-line war very thoroughly, with the orders of the Queen of Eternal Night outside and the respect of the imperial military inside.
Now their task is to establish an isolation zone on the periphery to prevent Tai Bella and the dark elves from escaping, and set up a net to try to wrap up a big dumpling of the enemy.
In the inner circle, the Second Fleet of the Empire, with twelve Divine Evils as the core, is encircling Tai Bella and using bait to attract the attention of the goddess of war.
Of course, from Taibella's perspective, she was launching a one-sided massacre against the Empire's Second Fleet. The perfect combination of combat, magic and pastoral iron triangle successfully found the enemy who was roaming around and causing huge casualties in her hometown.
During the battle, with the keen perception of the gods, they naturally noticed the quiet changes in this plane.
The most intuitive feeling was that the feeling of being tied up and unable to fully exert her power disappeared, and she felt that she seemed to have more room to exert her power.
The feeling of being stuck at the upper limit of the plane disappeared.
Is it that the power I sent has decreased?
No, that's not right, it should be that this world has become bigger!
It's like forcing a giant monster into a breeding box. Although she can control the size of her body at will, this experience is not pleasant for her after shrinking her body.
And now, this world makes her feel much more comfortable. The ropes that tied her hands and feet finally disappeared, and she can breathe freely again!
Foolish mortals, do you know what real power is?
However, just as she was about to summon more power and defend to deal with the fleet in front of her, she found that she could not contact her original body and the kingdom of God.
So the transmission of divine power was also cut off. The power that should have been far-reaching and strengthened its divine power to tear everything apart at any time was not fully displayed.
"Oh, interesting counterattack, is this the trap you prepared for me?"
The goddess of war realized that this should be the trick prepared by the empire. They changed the upper limit of the power that this world can accommodate, and at the same time cut off the connection between her and her true power.
In other words, now her three incarnations have no backup.
But so what?
The coordination between these three incarnations is perfect. It is a perfect system created by her with a huge amount of faith power and tens of thousands of years of combat experience.
Just like the corpse of the god in front of her, the defeated generals of the past also want to fight against the real, active and powerful gods?
She felt that the enemy in front of her became interesting.
"Strictly speaking, this is just part of the trap." Roger's shadow appeared between the flagships and talked directly to the goddess of war.
The warrior incarnation's wild and beautiful little face snorted coldly: "In the face of absolute strength, any conspiracy is useless!"
"So the empire has never only prepared tracks. The ultimate goal of all our arrangements is to prepare a battlefield where your incarnation cannot escape. The real means is to completely crush you in terms of combat power."
Under Roger's command, the Empire's Second Fleet began to change its formation, and the twelve Gods began to break out of the protective formation.
The other fleets aimed their guns at the dark elves, cutting off the connection between Taibella and her believers.
King versus king, general versus general.
It's not that they are afraid of any chemical reaction between Taibella and the troops, but they just don't want the goddess of war to treat her believers as power banks when she is weak next time.
And as the plane upgrade is completed, the final combat power of the Gods, which has been suppressed, begins to unlock in order to return to the world of eternal night.
The attack and defense strength and various attributes are rising rapidly, reaching the peak of the current world's capacity, exceeding the strength of Taibella's single incarnation.
The simple numerical improvement is not important. What is more important in this step is that the God's Sin can fully exert the skill that has been prepared for the Goddess of War for many years, and the unusable state is lifted, and the light really shines towards her.
The so-called gods, then let's solve it with real deification weapons!
Looking at the light shining on the twelve giant whales, the powerful force waves continued to spread and shrink, and a trace of anger flashed in Tai Bella's eyes:
The enemy blocked the transmission of divine power, but he has an exclusive channel?
This is too shameless!
This means that everyone came to the arena to fight, but the enemy not only temporarily modified the rules of the game, but also cheated to add various attributes to himself, which is extremely shameless.
But the mage incarnation immediately laughed sarcastically: "Naive mortals, do you think that simply accumulating magic power can fight against gods?"
"It's more than magic power."
Roger responded lightly, as if he had already calculated all the situations and all the reactions of Tai Bella.
The twelve Gods resonated with each other. Although the Gods were dead gods, they had no godhood, no power, only dormant divinity, which supported them to become excellent materials for the strategic fortresses of the empire.
But in the resonance at this moment, they relied on this divinity to enter a temporary state, exuding an aura almost identical to that of the goddess of war.
It was even purer than this incarnation, as if the goddess of war's body appeared here, forcibly dominating its body...
Then, they began to forcibly share her divine power!
The twelve Gods snatched the divine power of Tai Bella's incarnation, decomposed the foundation of her body, returned to the most fundamental power of faith, and then strengthened the Gods.
The gods were no longer carbon-based creatures, without nerves and internal organs, and the power of faith was everything to them, so such plundering, like scraping bones to cure poison, brought the most fundamental pain.
Tai Bella couldn't help but wail, her delicate body trembled, and she was puzzled by the situation of this loss of control of divine power, and because of this confusion, she turned into the most fundamental fear.
"What did you do? My divine power, my strength, that's my strength!"
Feeling the loss of power, her confident attitude began to loosen, and she was in a panic that she didn't even react to.
The three incarnations are a perfect match, not only in terms of profession, but also in terms of attributes and skills. It is the result of thousands of trials and tribulations, and they are confident that they can deal with all situations.
But now the God's Evil has shaken Tai Bella's perfect foundation!
It's like holding a straight flush. The changes made now may only change the points of a certain card, but the power of the combination has dropped by several levels.
"Perfect things are delicate and powerful, but this also means that they are prone to flaws, and any flaws can lead to imperfect results... So I prefer a combination that is tough and durable and has more tolerance for errors."
Roger commented on what was happening on the battlefield in a calm tone, making Tai Bella's emotions more unstable.
But she managed to control the decline of her realm and asked in confusion: "How did you do it?"
"Because we are obsessed with you, my Lord!"
From all directions, the other eleven ships of the God's Sin heard voices of different voices, different personalities, and different ages, but surprisingly the same beliefs.
Roger smiled: "Your Majesty, the God of War, except for Doyle, the control center of the God's Sin are all your most devout believers. Aren't you familiar with their voices?!"
"Nonsense, how could my believers attack me and be hostile to me..."
"Oh, maybe I should add a prefix yesterday, once, I was your believer."
Roger said, his expression gradually became cold, recalling the process of the three years of war and many things he saw in the core control area of the gods, all of which were very tragic and very desolate stories.
Under the glorious image of the gods, there are countless sufferings that support their kingdom of God in the sky.
"Selfish, arrogant, and irritable selfish ghosts can run rampant because they have no manufacturing. In the past, no one sanctioned such things, so the Qingteng Empire will launch a trial on behalf of mortals against you!"
Roger's grand voice echoed over the battlefield, arousing the morale of the entire Second Fleet.
Most of them were not imperial people, but ordinary believers and lower-class civilians who were taken in by Roger after he broke through the Church of the God of War during the three years of war.
After ending the most tragic fate, recognizing the reality, mastering knowledge, and having more choices, they no longer have any intention of lingering on faith, and resolutely joined the battle against the gods.
Even if it is a cross-dimensional battle with no return, then there is no return!
Far away, the people of the Empire heard Roger's announcement and knew that the final moment had come.
They also had serious expressions. Although the Empire had expelled the existence of the Church long ago, their childhood, their parents' and elders' lives were still under the oppression of gods and nobles, and they could only silently endure the helpless fate...
It was the Queen of Eternal Night who founded the Empire, and it was Marshal Roger who brought about changes again and again. They have today's happy life and can hold their heads high and straighten their backs in front of the gods.
All the mortals present, with Roger, asked Taibella in unison:
"May I ask, are you worthy of being gods?"
The twelve God's Evils, which have always had a secret connection with Taibella's three incarnations, linked their lights together and turned into chains wrapped in dim blood, wrapping around Taibella.
Such a color usually represents darkness and chaos, but these chains look filthy, but the breath is righteous and not evil. The countless painful voices in them are not the wailing of hell...
That is the voice of the human world. The human world under the rule of gods is a hell full of pain!
"Assholes, what are you doing, why is my divine power out of control, why can't I do anything?"
The three incarnations of Tai Bella were tied up by chains, motionless, and at the same time felt countless voices ringing in their consciousness.
"This is the twelfth twilight of the gods. If you can't break free..."
Roger's voice became more and more indifferent, and it seemed fair and ruthless, "It means that the believers who provide you with the power of faith and constitute your body... do not recognize your actions!"
The gods take faith as the source, but they are selfish. Today, a mortal finally uses faith as a chain to ask the gods:
In addition to being powerful, what else do you have?
"Rebellion, rebellion, you mortals dare to attack gods?"
Yawen Sali retreated step by step in the heavy gunfire, watching the master she followed being subdued like a prisoner, showing disbelief.
After all the hardships to become a god, only to find that the era of gods is coming to an end?
