[More than a decade has passed in the blink of an eye]
[During this time, you established a city-state on the Shapeless Isle and confirmed the Gorgon Three Goddesses as the deities of faith according to the original route]
[The development of Pelasgia is progressing rapidly]
[The blessings of the gods have led to a bountiful harvest on the island]
[The dreamland of coexistence between humans and magical beasts that you constructed has once again reappeared in this country]
[As Pelasgia gradually developed, it inevitably encountered friction with countries outside the island, but this was not a major issue]
[The indomitable demon army you lead is a non-human military force]
[The human army is absolutely no match for it]
[Countless wars have ended in victory, and these victories have begun to make people wary of you]
[Of course, as the king of Pelasgia, you are well aware of the dangerous position Pelasgia holds in the Greek divine era]
[While developing, you are also avoiding being observed by the gods]
[If you enter the gods' sight before provoking their internal strife, it is very likely to repeat the mistakes of previous simulations]
[Therefore, although you have been bringing victories to your people, you are still proceeding cautiously and carefully]
[Pelasgia is like walking on a treacherous tightrope]
[One misstep could lead to utter ruin]
[Pelasgia has very little communication with the outside world]
[However, to maintain prosperity within the island, you still have appropriate exchanges with the outside world]
[The first country to establish diplomatic relations with Pelasgia]
[Was the Amazon tribe in the north]
[The Amazons took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Pelasgia, which was almost jaw-dropping]
[The Amazon army is entirely composed of women]
[And they devoutly worship Ares]
[They can be said to be either at war or on the path to war. Rather than defending their homeland, invading neighboring countries and treating fierce attacks as defense is their consistent style]
[Their lives are filled with battles and training for war, or training young Amazon warriors]
[After all, this is a nation that worships the god of war]
[The Spartans, who are most famous for worshiping the god of war Ares, share a similar bloodthirsty nature]
[The Greeks typically have only two attitudes toward the god of war Ares]
[Either an extreme and fanatical worship, or a deep-seated fear and reverence. He is a disaster of war for humanity, and a glorious light for the warlike]
[The god of war Ares appreciates you]
[Perhaps this is also the main reason the Amazons took the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with Pelasgia; you cannot think of any other reason besides this]
[Hippolyta is the queen of the Amazons]
[Relying solely on her to promote the establishment of diplomatic relations for the entire nation cannot depend on her will alone]
[The true will of the Amazons is Ares]
[Even Hippolyta is like this]
[The Amazons' proactive attitude of goodwill has made the attitudes of many surrounding countries toward Pelasgia quite subtle]
[Throughout Greece, no one is unaware of the fierce battle spirit of the Amazons and the undefeated demeanor of the female warriors]
[However, regardless of the circumstances—Amazons are seen by the Greeks as a barbaric nation that only knows how to fight, plunder, and invade]
[Countries that can establish diplomatic relations with the Amazons]
[Are often those that are as radical as they are, or even more bloodthirsty nations. Just like the Spartans, who also worship the god of war, the relationship between the Amazons and them is quite good]
[Not long after the Amazons extended their olive branch]
[Sparta has also extended an olive branch]
[It is incomprehensible to others that two warlike nations, as fierce as they are, can express goodwill]
[Now, you have formed an alliance with the gods]
[Sparta and the Amazons can indeed be seen as allies; there is no reason for you to leave your allies out in the cold]
[Therefore, you can only adhere to the principle that all who come are guests]
[Your diplomatic relations with the two countries have been very successful]
[Although the envoys sent by both countries communicate with their fists, your strength in Pelasgi is also formidable]
[After a series of exhilarating battles]
[Sparta and the Amazons recognized Pelasgi, and they took the initiative to establish diplomatic relations with Pelasgi]
[This further deepened the impression surrounding countries have of Pelasgi; many believe you are war maniacs like Sparta and the Amazons, who think about fighting all day long]
[Pelasgi is subtly regarded as a nation with a warlike nature, on par with the aforementioned two countries]
[To this, you can't be bothered to refute]
[Although the overall international reputation has declined Pelasgi itself does not wish to be too famous]
[Moreover, you do not dislike the Spartans and Amazons]
[They hardly engage in any scheming]
[As long as they can fight together, they can sit down and drink and talk very generously. It can be said that these are two quite pure nations, born solely for war]
The smoky, opaque gas sways with the wind like a mist.
The explosions that could change the terrain left traces of devastation. The surroundings turned into a sea of fire, with echoes of metal clashing in between.
In the end, it concluded with a massive explosion.
"Ha… I told you, trying to win against me is not an easy task, Hippolyta."
"Such moves…"
"Again, it's a power I have never seen before. How many surprises are you still hiding from me?"
"Hahahaha, guess."
The ground was marked by the aftermath of the fierce battle.
The craters, as if struck by meteorites, were filled with smoke, and it could almost be said to be a scene of devastation.
It is hard to imagine that this was caused by a battle between two people; it would not be surprising to say that this place had experienced a clash between two armies.
However, in the center of this battlefield, a man and a woman sat back to back on the ground, both wearing smiles.
After the battle, the two switched locations.
They arrived together at a beach where they could overlook the sea.
Hippolyta chose a higher grassy slope to sit down, lightly brushing her hair, and curiously asked:
"… You are truly an unpredictable man. Moran, with your strength, you could easily lift the nation from this tiny island and even expand the territory to the land on the other side of the sea, right?"
