Rise of an Empire

"Are you still unwilling to speak?"

Sitting in the sedan chair, the Duke asked Diana, the divine bow placed in the corner.

It has been more than ten days since he came out of Yiji Mountain, and the other party still hasn't said a word. Except for two screams when he couldn't bear it anymore, he has been pretending to be dead the rest of the time.

If you feed her food, she will eat it all. It seems that this woman is still planning to regain her strength and escape.

In fact, from a safety perspective, directly turning the other party into a puppet seems to be the best option.

There are many spells in Sithorne's scrolls to turn living people into puppets. Although Wonder Woman has the blessing of divine power in her true spirit, now she has completely fallen into Conrad's hands. As long as she finds a way to slowly concoct it, she will always be able to There is a way to obliterate the true spirit in her soul and turn her into a living puppet that does whatever she wants.

It's just that the Duke still wants to give it a try. After all, it would be a waste of nature if such a top-quality divine bow turned into a dead thing like this.

What's the difference between a puppet and a large doll?

"Sir, we have arrived at the beach."

There were three gentle knocks from outside the sedan, and then Helkas said respectfully.

Helkas originally thought that he had a golden thigh, but the other party was able to run rampant in the entire crypt, which made him feel that his bet this time was safe.

What he never expected was that when he followed Conrad out of Yiji Mountain, he truly saw the horror of surrendering to this master.

Because the exit of the crypt was guarded by soldiers all year round, the King of Crete immediately knew that Conrad had returned from the crypt, and he also brought out the super beauty who made him drool.

So when they just returned to the city, the King of Crete came with his guards to meet them, and asked Conrad to hand over Wonder Woman and her equipment to him.

Not to mention a mere indigenous king, even if Zeus, the leader of the Greek pantheon, comes, the Duke will never give the fat that comes to his lips to others.

The two of them exchanged a few words, but they fell out within a few minutes. The King of Crete acted like a king on the spot and asked his men to rob him.

The result

Although the Kingdom of Crete is one of the ten largest city-states in Athens, its military strength is basically ranked last. Trying to steal people from Conrad's hands is simply boring.

If it were the city-state of Sparta, the Duke might have to think carefully about it, but for a city-state like Crete, which is famous for its navy, there is no need to give him face.

On the spot, Conrad performed what it means to be one man against a country. The palace guards who the King of Crete had high hopes for were not his enemies at all, and they were completely defeated in a matter of seconds.

With the Duke's current level 4 mid-level strength, he can still be regarded as an unknown god even among the Olympus gods. Although these palace guards can be considered elites, they are no different from ants in front of him.

The reason why Wonder Woman was chased into the crypt by such a group of people was that, in addition to losing all her powers, her unwillingness to kill people was also a very important reason.

As superheroes of the lawful camp, they rarely kill people unless they encounter extremely evil criminals.

Conrad naturally didn't have so many worries. If he hadn't considered that too much movement might provoke those legendary gods, he would have destroyed this poor place into a mess.

The dark hero Conrad became famous in one battle, killing the King of Crete in the royal city of Crete, and also killed hundreds of palace guards.

Ancient Greece had no moral standards for heroes these days, as long as you were strong enough.

As for whether you do good things or bad things, it doesn't matter.

The evil god is a god anyway, so it doesn’t matter.

Besides, the Greeks have thousands of years of experience in dealing with the king falling out with the hero and then being killed by the hero.

The new king of Crete succeeded to the throne instantly, and then ordered that the murderer of the old king should be investigated and punished severely.

It's just that Conrad took Helkas around the city of Crete for several days, but he didn't see that person with a strong sense of justice who dared to arrest him. Even the new King of Crete ran away directly in the name of sacrifice. He dropped it and waited until he left the royal city before he dared to go back.

The Duke, who had ransacked the palace, could be said to be wealthy now. He bought dozens of strong war slaves in one go, and also captured the Cretan princess who had not had time to make a strategic retreat.

Although the princess's appearance can only be regarded as average, she is still a serious princess, isn't she?

It's quite good to use it as a slave to order around.

"Is the ship ready?" Conrad let go of the magic bow in his hand, asked the slave girl to help him put on his clothes, and then walked out of the sedan slowly.

In fact, horse-drawn carriages have already appeared these days, but given the dilapidated condition of the roads in ancient Greece and the shock-absorbing properties of those wooden wheels, riding a horse-drawn carriage will make you doubt your life.

So the Duke thought for a moment and ordered his men to make a huge sedan for him.

The most valuable thing these days is manpower. Why keep slaves if they don’t need to carry the sedan chair?

He is not a saint who wants to go to another world to liberate the oppressed and working people.

"The ship has been carried for a long time. It is the largest warship in the Kingdom of Crete."

Helkas pointed at a giant battleship about seventy meters long in the harbor and said.

In order to send Conrad, the god of plague, away, the new King of Crete spent a lot of money and had to beat gongs and drums all the way to send him out of the country.

Big fists are king. In today's era, everyone has not learned how to pretend to be hypocritical. There are many things that don't even need to be covered up.

“Have you found the map of the Amazon?”

Sitting in the captain's cabin, Conrad asked Helkas.

"I found two veteran sailors in the city of Crete. Their ancestors once sent Hercules to the Amazon. There are oral routes passed down from generation to generation in their families. As long as they are given time, they should be able to find the specific location of the Amazon."

Wonder Woman, who had been placed in the corner, opened her eyes in shock. She was already a talented person. If she hadn't been hunted down when she first traveled through time, she would have learned to read and write Latin long ago.

Staying with Conrad these days, she has gradually learned how to use Latin. After all, language barrier is a big problem.

"Then let's sail"

After Helkas retreated, Wonder Woman finally couldn't help but ask.

“What exactly is Amazon you are talking about?”

"Well, they call it Amazon here, but it also has another name, which I'm sure you know."

Conrad turned to look at Diana, smiling.

"Its other name is Paradise Island"
