Pei Dinnan left the room, Rosetta stood there for a while before breaking the silence as if he was talking to himself: "Everything is indeed as you said."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible wind suddenly blew from the empty study room, and a murmur like several sounds spread from all directions: "Of course - maybe we have not been together so happily over the years, but one thing you must admit is that when it comes to the realm of gods, the knowledge I have given you has never deviated... As long as I establish a cooperative relationship, I have always been full of sincerity."

Rosetta narrowed his eyes slightly. Others might not be able to see anything, but in his sight, he had seen stars eroding the surrounding walls and ground. There seemed to be countless sights hidden in the purple-black shadows. The floor-to-ceiling windows beside him were sprinkling in the dusk light. The glow projected on the ground, mixed with shadows like clouds.

In this chaotic superposition of light and shadow, an abstract eye wrapped by curved lines slowly opened in front of him, and the empty pupils were staring at this side without any humanity.

If an ordinary person sees this scene, even if he just glances around, he will be instantly forced into madness by this eye and the endless knowledge it contains - but for Rosetta and the members of the Augustus family, this eye is already their "old friend".

"Sincerity..." Rosetta said softly, his lips seemingly curled up slightly, "Actually you should be very clear that I have never really trusted your sincerity... For mortals, trusting 'things' like you is too expensive."

"... It's true," the eye was silent for a moment, and it restrained the tone that always had a sense of seduction, and agreed seriously, "It must be admitted that in the past many years, I have not been very happy with you... I know how much your family has paid to accommodate 'me', but whether you are willing to believe it or not, this is not my intention."

Rosetta didn't speak, but just listened quietly to the "eye" talking to himself.

"…I have been like this since my birth, and so have other gods when they were born. We never have any malice to you mortals, but our existence itself is a threat to you - just as those who are close to the flames will be burned, but this is not the fault of the flames. If the descendants of Augustus, if you abandon prejudice, you should know that what I said is true.

"So, I don't expect you to 'trust' me, because even I don't believe that I can do nothing to you in the subsequent activities... Human beings should not believe in the kindness of nature, nor should you believe in a fragment of gods parasitized on your family...

"But under this premise, we still have a common goal...August's descendants, we have a common goal."

Rosetta Augustus finally broke the silence, and he whispered: "End it all."

"Yes, end it all, end it's a tormenting relationship for both of us," said the eye calmly, He floated in mid-air, the countless curves that formed its outline and the scattered starlight slowly squirmed, as if there was a hint of gentle tremor, "Let's relax, this curse is finally over... It's better to think about a better future now. You and your family can finally get rid of the nightmare, and I will be free - don't be afraid and resistant to it, I can promise you that I will stand on the side of you and your empire...Are you going to lose your patron saints all the time? Then I will take this position, and the power of the dream will become your new backing..."

Rosetta was silent for a few seconds, as if he was seriously thinking about the feasibility of this matter. After a long time, he nodded slightly: "I will seriously consider it when everything is settled."

"Of course, of course, you must be so cautious, otherwise I will not recognize you so much - think carefully, the decision is up to you, no matter what kind of answer you give, our cooperation will be effective..."

The sound of that eye gradually weakened, and the light and shadow floating in the room gradually returned to normal. As the starlight and dusk light gradually faded, Rosetta's eyes became a familiar room again.

He stared at the empty mid-air calmly, and did not look away for the next ten minutes, as if the eye was still floating there...

...

"The above is the information that General Philip just sent back," Hetty stood in front of Gao Wen, reporting the situation on the front line with an extremely serious expression. "In this battle, the Earthly Python completely lost its combat power, the recycled wreckage has basically no value for repair, and another armored train was severely damaged. The repair project may continue until the spring. The damage to the Dragoon is still counting - the blizzard caused a considerable number of people to disappear, and the relevant search and rescue work has been carried out."

Gao Wen sat behind the desk, listening to Hedy's report without saying a word. This war report suddenly came from the front line broke the stalemate that lasted for many days on the front line, balanced the situation, and broke the rhythm of some plans of Gao Wen. Moreover, he also smelled some strange smell from the large-scale operation that the Tifengren suddenly launched this time.

"That is to say... the people of Tifeng used a large-scale 'miracle'," he said to break the silence after the passage of Hetty's report. "Because it is a celestial disturbance or other reasons, has this thing bypassed our detection technology?"

"Yes, until the extraordinary phenomenon suddenly appeared in the blizzard, neither the magic detection device carried on the armored train nor the dragoon responded in any way. The above detection device was then completely disturbed, and the enemy launched a full-scale attack," Hetty nodded with a serious expression. "General Philip analyzed that this should be the special nature of the 'miracle', which caused the miracles in the form of celestial phenomena to have the effect of evading detection. On the other hand, it may be that the Tifeng people used some kind of countermeasures to target our detection technology. Considering that their accumulation in the field of magic is far more advanced than ours, it is very possible to have a certain countermeasure."

"There are still areas that need to be improved in the existing detection technology," Gao Wen said in a deep voice. "Send the battlefield data and the wreckage of various equipment collected on the site by the Tifeng people to the Changfeng and Solin's research institutes, and find a way to figure out what methods the enemy has used to create this sudden attack... In addition, how are the damages of the Dragonborn?"

Hetilo recalled: "Two dragon-born mercenaries were killed, sixteen were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured... The casualties in this regard have been sorted out and sent to the head of the Holy Dragon Principality."

Gao Wen was stunned for a moment, "... All the Dragonborns were injured?"

War will inevitably die. Even if the Dragonborn has strong combat power, it is impossible for him to face the overwhelming Tifeng Air Force to be free of casualties. Gao Wen had considered this when recruiting Dragonborn mercenaries, but he did not expect that all the members would be injured when this powerful air force was first put into the battlefield. This surprised him for a moment - there was not even a single person who escaped unstoppable? Tifeng people are so powerful?

"According to General Philip, it seems that the dragons' fighting style is particularly... rough," Hetty obviously guessed that Gao Wen would have some questions about this and immediately explained, "Their combat methods are unstructured but extremely fierce, completely ignoring the damage. They are completely different from the state during training. Our army cannot provide effective cover. Moreover, many dragons choose to fight in close combat due to weapons damage in the final stage of the battle. They grabbed the enemy's griffin knight and hit the mountain... This is impossible not to be injured."

Gao Wen: "…"

Hetty asked carefully: "Ancestor?"

"I already understand," Gao Wen sighed softly and waved his hand. "No matter what, the card 'Dragonborn' in our hands should have been exposed to the eyes of Tifeng people. The dragonborn army does not have to hide it after that. The air confrontation between us and Tifeng may continue to escalate. The dragonborn and the dragon cavalry troops will become important weights on the battlefield."

After that, Gao Wen was silent for a moment and then asked, "Tell me about the other hand - how is the assessment of Tifeng's damage?"

"There is no very accurate assessment conclusion yet - mainly because the enemy had a very strange continuous 'resurrection' phenomenon in that blizzard, and the extremely harsh weather conditions seriously affected the judgment of the fall. But one thing is certain - in terms of casualties, there are definitely more people in Tifeng than us," Heti said immediately. "According to the report of the air observers after the war, the entire mountain line of the canyon was full of scorching wreckage and personnel, and griffon corpses. The enemy dispatched at least two thousand to three thousand griffon knights to deal with our air force. After the dragon generation entered the field, the entire group of griffon knights were wiped out..."

Speaking of this, Hetty couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that we have also suffered the biggest loss since the war started... The World Python is currently the most powerful armored train with the strongest offensive ability. The vacancy left after it was destroyed is not so easy to fill. Zero must stay around the Winter Wolf Castle to perform defense missions. The War Citizen's weapon system still has some problems and cannot be used for frontal attacks for the time being..."

"It's just a temporary loss. Maryland has protected all experienced technicians and officers and soldiers. As long as the next train leaves the production line, the combat power of the World Python can be restored immediately - the Tifeng people lost elites that may not be trained for more than ten years," Gao Wen was very open-minded, but he was a little helpless when he saw it. "The only headache is that the Tifeng people can most likely afford to die..."

As he said, he leaned back on the back of the seat, with a thoughtful look on his face.

The "miracle" at the celestial level... This is something he had never considered before, or he had considered that the Tifeng people would use some large-scale strategic magic power to influence the situation, but never expected that it would be such a "miracle". According to the information from the front line, this miracle obviously had traces of the power of the gods, which gave him the feeling... it was vaguely not good.

"Ancestor?" Hetty noticed that Gao Wen's face gradually became serious, and couldn't help asking, "What did you think of?"

"Did the people of Tifeng use the God of War magic on such a large scale from the beginning of the war to the present?" Gao Wen asked.

"Use the God of War God on a large scale..." Hetty immediately began to recall and shook his head a few seconds later, "No. The figure of the God of War God has only appeared on a small battlefield, and most of them are small-scale "expectations" that perform suicide missions... This is the first time such a large-scale magic miracle, which may require the participation of hundreds or even more high-level priests."

"Yes, it may require the participation of hundreds of high-level priests, and it must be a very formal and grand sacred ceremony," Gao Wen said slowly, with a solemn expression on his face, "Hetty, this is not right."

"What's wrong?" Hetty was stunned for a moment, but then he reacted the next second, "You mean... using the power of the God of War so unscrupulously..."

"Yes, no scruples," Gao Wen nodded, "We all know the truth of this war, and Rosetta also knows that if it is a normal battle, it is normal to use the power of the God of War on the battlefield, but now this is a divine disaster, and using the power of the gods on such a large scale has become a very dangerous behavior. Since the war started, the Tifeng people have been consciously avoiding this. They have divided the polluted fanatical priests into groups, so that they have no chance to use large-scale magic, so that they can continuously reduce their personnel in the war of attrition... This is all to avoid those priests introducing the power of the God of War into this world too much, but in this operation... they have done such a large-scale 'miracle'..."

"Can this be the unauthorized action of the front-line commander?" Hetty said subconsciously, but soon she shook her head herself, "No, this is unlikely..."

"Of course it is impossible. If the front-line commander of the Tifeng people could be so stupid, and if the front-line army was out of control, then Rosetta Augustus was driven out of power as early as the beginning of the war," Gao Wen shook his head. "This kind of action must be approved by Rosetta, and even... it was his order."

Herty opened her eyes slightly widened, and she couldn't understand what the ruler of Tifon was planning: "Why did he do this?"

Gao Wen did not answer for a moment. He just stared at the map ahead, and his mind was running quickly - from the changes in the control areas of both sides in the front line in recent times, to the forces invested by both sides in the warring parties so far, to the military trends of Tifeng, the intelligence sent back by Saldrin and his steel rangers in the enemy's controlled area... All kinds of clues gathered in his mind, as if they turned into invisible lines. Finally, he vaguely realized that he had noticed the key!

This terrifying discovery even made him sweat!

"Ancestor?" Herty immediately showed a hint of concern, "What's wrong with you?"

"I probably guessed what Rosetta wanted to do," Gao Wen couldn't help but stand up from behind the table, "...this is really..."

Hetty casts a shocked and confused look: "What does Rosetta want to do? What do you mean?"

"The war has an ultimate goal, not to maintain the status quo, nor simply to destroy an out-of-control church. We all have only considered the mildest solutions, but Rosetta...he wants to do something more thorough," said Gowen, taking a deep breath, "he wants to pull the God of War into this world."

"Pull the God of War into this world?" Herty was shocked, "He's crazy?! Is he going to let an out-of-control god destroy everything?!"
