Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

"Your Majesty, although this arena is huge, it is still too small for my imperial weapon."

Hearing Esdeath say this, Roland raised his eyebrows.

"There's not enough space...it doesn't matter."

Roland snapped his fingers.

Then in Esdeath's eyes, the world seemed to evaporate in an instant!

Then darkness became the main color of the entire world. There was no sky, no earth, and the surroundings seemed to have turned into chaos. The only ones left here were her, Roland opposite her, and Baimao who was watching the battle on the side. The three of them were standing on the chaos!

"Come on, this place is big enough, give it a try."

All of this was completely incomprehensible to Esdeath.

But it also made her more excited.

It’s better not to understand!

This is exactly the same as when she first learned about the Teigu!

Discover the unknown, understand the unknown, and then... become stronger!

Esdeath has always enjoyed doing things like this.

Fighting and torture, this is what she enjoys!

If there is anything else besides this...it is an idea that she has only recently come up with, which is to give love a try.

But she has only recently figured out what kind of relationship partner she needs - she is mainly concerned about where the other person is from and his or her age.

Originally, she wanted to find someone on the border of the imperial capital, preferably someone who was not from the imperial capital. But when she came back this time, she found that after Minister Ernest fell, the situation near the imperial capital was getting better and better, so she deleted this option.

In terms of age, she wanted to find someone younger than herself, but after thinking about it, she felt that it was okay not to have this - after all, she could control the younger one, so why not the older one?

Just don’t overestimate yourself too much!

So her criteria for choosing a partner are fulfilled.

First, there must be a future, and I hope that the other party can train himself with the goal of becoming a general.

While Esdeath was thinking divergently in this way to resist the oppressive feeling from Roland's divinity, she rushed towards Roland again. As she charged, a huge glacier rose out of thin air in the chaos.

Esdeath stepped on it, and a spear made of ice appeared in her hand. She rushed towards Roland with the momentum of a giant land ship!

boom!

Roland raised his hand, and a shadow spear made of shadows, exactly the same as the spear made of ice by Esdeath, appeared in his hand. After he stood firm, he directly blocked Esdeath's attack with full momentum.

Then Esdeath leaped high with Roland's power.

Second, you must be brave enough to go hunting dangerous species with me even with bare hands!

As Esdeath moved, a huge block of ice instantly condensed in the air. Then Esdeath leaped into the air, stepped on the ice meteorite as big as a hill, and kicked it directly towards Roland's position!

Seeing such a meteorite, Roland shook his hands, dispersing the shadow spear, and clenched his fists.

In an instant, an aura that was wilder, more violent, and with stronger murderous and fighting intent than Esdeath's emanated directly.

He ignited the wolf's blood!

All the shadow wolves merged into his body at this moment. Roland, whose wolf blood was completely ignited, clenched his fist covered by shadows and punched in the direction of the icy meteorite. The force that was more terrifying than that of a giant smashed the meteorite into pieces on the spot.

Esdeath, covered by the fragments and ice mist formed by the shattered meteorite, came to Roland, who had just thrown a punch. She held up an ice knife with both hands and stabbed it towards Roland.

But regardless of the instincts of a shadow warrior, Roland has always been accustomed to using his brain to fight.

When attacking the meteorite, Roland's attention was always on Esdeath herself.

His six eyes had been locked onto Esdeath's movements, watching her all the way to him.

so...

ended.

Roland, who had merged with the Shadow Puppet, had no shadow, but at this moment the shadow under his feet came to Esdeath's side.

The moment Esdeath rushed over, the shadow under her feet turned into a shadow blade that Roland had stepped on long ago and began to accumulate power with the shadow of the dragon. It began to shatter the entire ice blade from the tip of the ice blade she stabbed out, and then widened it a little in the process, hitting Esdeath with a heavy blow, knocking her out on the spot.

Then, when she spat out a mouthful of blood and tried to get up, a spear made of shadows was already against her throat.

"you lose."

Roland still had a gentle smile on his face and stopped there.

Esdeath, who was sitting on the ground, looked at Roland like this. Her divergent thinking that she had used to resist the pressure also came to an end at this time.

Third, and lastly, it’s best to have someone with a pure smile.

Esdeath's thoughts stopped at Roland's smile, which made her previously divergent thoughts focus again. Then she nodded slightly to Roland's words. At this moment, she also realized it.

Roland is the person who meets his three criteria for choosing a spouse.

And he is stronger than me!

This made her newly gathered thoughts a little confused.

Roland put away his spear and extended his hand to Esdeath.

"So, General Esdeath, although you are already a strong person in this world and in the empire, sticking to the perspective of one country or one world will limit your development. So you should join - join the group of gods centered around me and make yourself stronger."

"Come on, let's step into a higher level together."

Esdeath didn't know what the God Group was, but seeing the smile on Roland's face, she simply grabbed the hand that Roland extended to her.

Whether it's for this smile or for becoming stronger.

She always had only one answer.

"I'll join!"

Following her voice, the [God Group System] also completed the changes.

The number of members of the God Group has officially reached 15.

The blessing of the center has officially been upgraded to Lv4, and the next upgrade will require 20 members in the group of gods.

Then he took a lottery from Esdeath.

And——the God Group has also opened up new functions.

.....Spoon..

21. The Army of the Gods

After Esdeath joined the group of gods, Roland explained everything about the group of gods to her.

Then Esdeath finally understood.

She also now knew what kind of power Roland had used before.

Thinking of this, Esdeath became motivated.

"I see. Gods walking between worlds. I understand!"

Originally, Esdeath felt that being a general in the empire and leading the army to war was an extremely exciting thing - she even worried at one point about what to do if the war was over.

But now after hearing what Roland said, she was no longer worried!

Countless different worlds, countless wars

Hehehe, she couldn't help laughing out loud just thinking about it!

"Oh, yes, the promotion ladder."

Esdeath suddenly remembered the promotion ladder, so she took off the white military cap on her head, and then took off her already thin white military uniform. She put her hands on her waist and looked at Roland.

"bring it on!"

Seeing her like this, Baimao, who was helping Esdeath get her clothes, couldn't tell for a moment whether Esdeath was excited about becoming stronger or for something else.

She always felt something was wrong...

But when she thought about the information she knew about Esdeath, she felt that she might have been a little too sensitive in her fight with Medea.

That's the battle maniac Esdeath.

How could she like a man like a woman?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

After figuring this out, Bai Mao stopped having wild thoughts.

Roland opened the ladder of promotion for Esdeath.

Roland also gave Esdeath the authority to recruit gods.

"Esdeath, I know that you usually share any benefits with your soldiers. This time is no exception. I have explained to you clearly about the people of God and the people of God. So if you want to bring your troops with you, it is up to you to recruit them as your people of God or as your people of God."

After saying this, Roland reminded her again.

"By the way, in addition to the differences between gods and their subjects that I told you about before, you should also pay attention to the issue of immortality. After all, immortality is not necessarily a good thing, especially for the soldiers who may need to fight with you. Immortality is a blessing, but also a curse."

After hearing what Roland said, Esdeath nodded and then smiled.

To be honest, although she had previously planned to recruit all of her Esdeath troops as subordinate gods and have them follow her to enjoy this endless war, she had not said this out loud - because she felt that Roland might not agree.

After all, she was also a soldier who rose to general, so even though she didn't like power struggles, she was not completely ignorant of them.

In her eyes, Roland's most important identity is still the emperor of the empire.

Generally speaking, the emperor would not want his generals to have too many private soldiers, especially private soldiers like gods who can be commanded absolutely.

But now she reacted.

Yes, Roland had told her that when she failed before.

Don’t limit your vision to one country or one region!

She is still too narrow-minded!

Fortunately, Roland had a broad vision, which made Esdeath look at Roland more eagerly.

"okay, I get it!"

Esdeath complied.

Seeing that Esdeath agreed, Roland nodded.

"Okay then. I will let Baimao convey my will. I will expand your army and ask Budd to gradually put elite soldiers under your command. Then Budd will lead the people to defend the imperial capital and become the general who guards the country. As for you, Esdeath, I hope you can be my spear. The foreign races around us are a bit of a hindrance. In addition, I will need this world to provide me with various resources stably in the future, so I need this world to stabilize. Do you understand what I mean?"

"Ok!"

If Roland talked to Esdeath about something else, Esdeath might not understand.

But she understood about expanding territory!

Isn’t it just to eliminate all the foreign ethnic groups around us?

She is familiar with this!

"Since you understand, then go ahead. I will arrange this matter after I have dealt with Minister Ernest's affairs. You can also use this to train your troops and help your soldiers accumulate some steps for promotion."

"I understand your thoughts and plans, but with the current strength of the Imperial Army, it is no problem to run rampant in this world that I named Zhan Tong, but if you look at the other world, it is a bit insufficient."

"Once the war starts, besides you, I have another fellow who is equally belligerent and can lead an army. He will never give up on such a thing. So if you don't have enough ability to participate in the war, I can't just watch you die, right?"

Esdeath smiled when she heard Roland say that.

"of course."

She knew very well that Roland's words were meant to ask her to compete with another guy she had yet to meet. Roland didn't even hide it from her or beat around the bush. He was basically giving her a direct order.

But she didn't resist, and even found it more interesting!

So after receiving the appointment from Roland, she immediately went back to gather the troops and start training!

Baimao looked at Esdeath's leaving back and sighed a little.

"If it was Bud who brought his army to compete with Iskandar, I would definitely not think highly of him. I would even think that he was overestimating his own capabilities."

"I have seen Iskandar's army. It is a team of tens of thousands of people, all of whom are followers - a standing army of spearmen who can form the Macedonian phalanx, a cavalry of 2800 men, and about 1800 companion cavalry, that is, elite heavy cavalry, wearing light armor, responsible for auxiliary soldiers such as throwing spears and shooting arrows, and 3000 elite heavy infantry outside the phalanx."

"Then Iskandar divided these tens of thousands of soldiers into phalanxes and teams outside the phalanx, and then divided the teams outside the phalanx into an unknown number of teams ranging from 150 to 1000 people, to facilitate his command..."

"It is true that during the Holy Grail War, Cu Chulainn almost broke through the Noble Phantasm of the King's Army and killed Iskandar, but that was because the power of the Noble Phantasm could not be fully exerted."
