Chapter 569: German Earth Goddess Jiaode

Apennine Peninsula.

This is the western border of the Athenian Empire.

After becoming part of the Athenian Empire, after more than a year of development, the Apennine Peninsula has now crossed the Bronze Age and directly entered the Black Iron Age.

The Po Plain is located in the north of the Apennine Peninsula. As long as you bypass the Alps from here, you can enter the Germanic region and Gaul.

1597 BC.

At the end of May.

Roy came to the Po Plain in the north of the Apennine Peninsula.

Caesar, who was appointed as the governor of the Po River by Roy, has trained a cavalry army of up to 50,000 people equipped with sophisticated iron weapons here.

The barracks of the Po River Legion.

When Roy found Caesar, Caesar was leading a cavalry for training.

Seeing Roy's figure appear in front of him, Caesar first widened his eyes in disbelief, and then rushed to Roy on horseback with excitement.

"Dear Emperor, are you finally going to start a war against the barbarians in the north?"

"It seems that you have been looking forward to this war for a long time!"

Roy teased with a smile.

"If I had known that you were so eager to establish merit on the battlefield, I would have transferred you to the east. But it is not too late now. The opportunity you long for to establish merit has come. I will take you and the Po River Legion to conquer the Germanic region in the north, and I will give you the command of the Po River Legion completely."

"You want me to command this war--"

Caesar was excited and moved by Roy's huge authority and trust.

"I will never let you down! If I lose this war, or if there are huge casualties among the soldiers, I am willing to die with my own life and the lives of my whole family to apologize."

How could they lose--

The barbarians in the Germanic region have not even entered the Bronze Age.

Caesar led the iron army to attack the backward barbarians who used wooden spears and stone spears. There was no reason to lose this war.

Let alone the talented Caesar, even if a pig was the commander of the Po River Legion, there was no reason to lose this war.

Early June.

Roy and Caesar led the 50,000 cavalry of the Po River Legion from the east around the Alps and entered the southern part of the Sudeten Mountains.

The word Germanic comes from Latin, and Julius Caesar called the tribes on the right bank of the Rhine Germania.

In other words, until the Caesar era 1,500 years later, the Germans were still in a backward tribal civilization.

The Germans at this time were mainly composed of two ethnic groups.

The first ethnic group was the German natives with black hair and black eyes.

The second ethnic group was the blond and blue-eyed Aryans.

Starting 3,000 years ago BC, the ancient Aryans began to migrate to the east, south and west.

The ancient Aryans migrated as far as the Iberian Peninsula [Spanish Peninsula], and of course there were a large number of Aryan branches in the Germanic region.

Entering the Sudeten region, the first thing the Athenian army encountered was not the branch of the Aryans who spoke Indo-European languages, but the Germanic native tribes who spoke Germanic languages.

The Athenians certainly did not understand Germanic languages, so Roy could only negotiate with the Germanic natives in person.

The Giud tribe.

This is a Germanic native tribe that worships the earth goddess Giud.

The name Giud means earth.

In the Norse mythology of another world, the earth goddess Giud is the name of a female giant who is hostile to the Aryan gods, the Aesir.

She is Giud, the mother of Thor, the god of thunder, and Sif, the wife of Thor, the god of thunder. She is also the giant snake Jörmungandr who died with Thor, the god of thunder, at Ragnarok.

Roy rode into the Giud tribe alone. The people of the Giud tribe were like enemies, and dozens of people surrounded Roy with wooden spears.

"I am not your enemy."

Roy said to the surrounding Germanic natives in the language of the gods.

"Where is your tribal leader? I want to negotiate with your tribal leader directly."

"Let me negotiate with you!"

Accompanied by a gentle and sweet girl's voice, the statue of Jiaode worshipped by the Jiaode tribe burst into divine light and turned into the goddess Jiaode herself, walking in front of Roy under the fanatical and awe-filled gaze of the people in the Jiaode tribe.

"You-"

Seeing that Jiaode's face had the shadow of the ancient earth goddess, Roy said with wide eyes in surprise.

"It seems that you are not a real indigenous god."

Now, whether it is the Germanic natives or the Aryans, they all use nomadic and fishing to obtain food.

In other words, the Germanic region does not have the foundation for the birth of the worship of the earth goddess.

As the goddess of the earth, Jiaode is obviously an alien god.

Perhaps her Jiaode tribe is a branch of the Pelasgians who migrated to the European continent 3000 years ago.

"What nonsense!"

Hearing Roy's words, Jiaode said with an unhappy expression.

"After thousands of years, my people have assimilated with the local Germanic people, and the local Germanic goddess has accepted me as a sister. Of course, I am undoubtedly a local god."

"I have no intention of arguing with you about this issue."

Roy said with a smile.

"If what I just said made you angry, I would like to apologize to you. Dear Goddess Jiaode, I came to the Germanic region to incorporate the Germanic region into the territory of the Athenian Empire. I hope that you and other Germanic goddesses can voluntarily join The Athenian Empire. If you refuse my invitation, then I can only force you to join the Athenian Empire."

"It's indeed the same!"

Jiao De said with a sigh.

"You mounted invaders only want to conquer our local tribes."

"The mounted intruder—"

"Their names are Odin, Tyr, Thor, and Baldr."

Jiao De turned to look north and said.

"The first ones to come here were Odin and Tyr! Their tribe lost to the tribes worshiping the sun god and the tribe worshiping the god of thunder in the hometown of the ancient Aryans, and they had to be forced to move westward here. Then. It was Thor and the tribes who worshiped the God of Thunder who migrated here, and finally Baldr and the tribes who worshiped the Sun God who migrated here. These Aryan gods only wanted to conquer and enslave the local ethnic groups, and did not assimilate with the local ethnic groups at all. The idea of ​​fusion.”

"So you think I'm like these Aryan gods?"

Roy explained with an innocent face.

"This is really a misunderstanding. I am different from these Aryan gods. The Aryans consider themselves noble people and only want to conquer and enslave the local ethnic groups. But in my Athenian empire, everyone's identity and status are Equal. If you don’t believe it, you can go to the Athens Empire to find out the situation yourself.”

"Even if what you said is true-"

Jiao De's eyes returned to Roy and said.

"I have no reason to surrender to you."

"Then I can only use force to conquer you."

Roy activated the sun godhead, letting his body release the blazing fire of the sun, and then said as he approached Jiaode.

"As an avatar of the ancient earth goddess, you are also a trinity of goddesses. You are the earth goddess Jade, the harvest goddess Sif, and the war goddess Jörmungandr who can kill enemies with her fangs. But this does not make up for the difference between us. The gap in strength is the same as the dimension reduction attack, just like your Jiaode tribe will be vulnerable to the Athenian army. "
