Chapter 209 Roy's Madness
Roy spent two busy days in the village, while Tiony and Tiona took turns on duty, guarding the captured god Ares and more than a hundred soldiers.
Roy used his forging skills to update a large number of farm tools, weapons, furniture and so on for the village.
The entire village has been completely transformed.
Roy also crafted a high-quality bracelet for the old village chief, Xilin, and his niece. When they were about to be attacked, the bracelet would automatically trigger a shield, somewhat similar to the steel arm guards that Roy had once obtained.
It can block attacks from level 3 adventurers.
Roy wasn't unwilling to give them higher-level equipment. These people lived in the countryside, and having high-level equipment was enough for them. His reputation was also enough to keep some thieves and bandits in check. Epic-level equipment was a different story.
Epic equipment is considered the highest level of weaponry by adventurers, which inevitably leads some to take risks.
Time passed in a tense atmosphere.
Everyone knows that what happened before is not over yet. Ares and a large group of guards are still locked in the pigsty. How will the kingdom react?
The answer is: a massive army is pressing in!
Also in the early hours of the third day, as the sky was still dim, a large number of dark figures appeared in the distance, accompanied by a rumbling sound, as if it were a vast army.
The villager in charge of the sentry post quickly ran back to inform them.
Roy and his group appeared first at the village entrance, followed by villagers carrying various farming tools, despite Roy's repeated emphasis that they were not needed to fight.
The villagers still voluntarily followed.
In this chaotic world, the only way to survive is to unite. Whenever we encounter an enemy, we must band together and charge forward to kill them in order to earn their respect.
"That wretched kingdom!"
"They're deliberately targeting us and then trying to find excuses."
"Roy, let's fight them!"
The villagers were filled with righteous indignation, brandishing their weapons, their momentum no less than that of the kingdom's army on the other side.
The opposing force consisted entirely of warriors who had received blessings, yet none of them showed any fear; they knew that death was inevitable.
The people are not afraid of death, so why threaten them with death?
Tiony and Tiona looked surprised. No wonder the leader had traveled all the way back from Orario; these simple and kind villagers were worth it.
Roy was also deeply moved. He smiled slightly and turned his gaze toward the kingdom's army.
Meanwhile, under the protection of a large army.
A handsome blond young man, clad in armor, was discussing countermeasures with his trusted advisors.
They also saw Roy and his group at the village entrance.
A staff member's voice was wary, "Prince Marius, that's the sprout of justice, and the two girls beside him are the super rookies of the Astrea Familia, the Amazon sisters at LV.3!"
When the news reached the capital, it caused an uproar.
That god who doesn't follow the rules actually led people to surround Roy's hometown, the "budding of justice".
Everyone was furious, but there was nothing they could do. As the family members, they had to pay the price for the gods' capriciousness.
Unlike the previous rulers of the Kingdom of Lachia who were completely subservient to Ares, this generation of Prince Marius was quite capable and had his own ideas.
While Prince Marius mobilized his army to prepare for the rescue, he also sent men to Orario overnight to gather all information about Roy. There is an Eastern saying: "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."
As the army arrived at the village, Orario's scouts returned, bringing back information about Roy.
After reviewing the information at hand.
Prince Marius's heart sank to the bottom. He was burdened with domestic affairs and hadn't paid attention to Roy's affairs for some time. However, this short period of time was enough for Roy's rich experiences to fill a thick stack of papers.
The Astrea Familia has revived and has close ties with several other Familias, showing a tendency to form factions.
All of this is directly related to Roy.
Marius felt a chill run down his spine; this was no lamb, but a monstrous demon.
He had predicted that Roy would eventually become a first-class adventurer and should not be provoked.
Unfortunately, that god, whose brain was all muscles, shouted, "If the gods of Orario can't do it, he might be able to," and insisted on taking Roy as his familiar.
"You thugs, I am Marius Viktorius Lachia, the current prince of the Kingdom of Lachia! Release Ares immediately, or the kingdom's eight thousand troops will raze this village to the ground!" Marius shouted.
Upon hearing Marius's voice, a commotion arose among the villagers. Living in the countryside, they had never seen so many soldiers before. However, Roy and his two companions remained calm and composed.
"What eight thousand men? It looks like only three or four thousand." Tione curled his lip, gazing at the distant army. Five or six hundred meters away, it might fool ordinary people, but not them.
Roy laughed and said, "These kinds of self-proclaimed numbers are usually just for show."
In just two days, having lost Ares, the chief god, Marius was lucky to be able to gather three or four thousand men, all of whom were warriors blessed with grace.
Roy called out to the back, "Tiona, bring Ares up here."
"good!"
Tiona's crisp response rang out, and she quickly brought the lifeless Ares, along with the other side's two most loyal knights, to the village entrance.
Having been starved for two days, Ares was skin and bones and almost sent back to the heavens. His eyes were filled with fear when he looked at Roy, showing no respect for the gods. This was the first time he had ever encountered such a human.
Even when he saw his army, Ares showed little joy.
"It's Lord Ares!"
"Damn it, are you trying to blackmail us with Lord Ares?"
"Your Highness, we must launch an attack immediately!"
The kingdom's army was furious; they were Ares' most loyal followers, practically warriors ready to die for him.
"Calm down, everyone!" Marius frowned, maintaining the composure of a leader.
Then, Roy did something that surprised everyone: "Tiona, release Ares!"
"what?"
Tiona looked at Roy from a distance.
"Tiona, you must not disobey the captain!" Tione glared at Tiona.
"All right."
Diona muttered to herself as she untied Ares and the two knights, allowing the three of them to leave.
"Lord Ares, are you alright?"
"Very good. It seems those heinous thugs have realized their mistakes. If half of them are executed, their sins will be forgiven!"
The kingdom's army quickly came to the aid of the trio.
Ares only experienced the joy of escaping from suffering.
The two knights looked worried. What did the other side want to do? After two days of contact, Roy was not the kind of person who would give in easily.
Upon seeing Ares return to the kingdom's ranks, Roy shouted, "Tione, Tiona, prepare to charge! Target: rout the kingdom's army in front of us one by one!"
Roy's tone was so calm, as if he were chatting with a neighbor, but the content was terrifying.
Tiony and Tiona were stunned for a moment, then revealed a ferocious and fanatical smile.
