Ares, God of War

Chapter 243. The Trial of Change

After the main gods agreed to go out together, and Athena also added blessings to the weapons and equipment, Ares finally accepted Zeus's order.

In the highest palace of the king of gods on Mount Olympus, he slapped his chest to the gods to say that he would win the battle, and then ordered his soldiers and horses to leave from Mount Olympus and head towards the Pallene Peninsula.

Ares must be joking about saying that this battle must be won.

After he led his troops away from Mount Olympus, he was already a general who was as high as the sky and far away from the emperor, and with a heavy army in his hand, and he could let himself go as he wanted at that time.

So with this group of troops, Ares came directly to the Pallene Peninsula and set up camp at the entrance to reality in this area.

When camping, he also paid attention to the positions he arranged. For example, Hephaestus, Hera, and the servants of the Apollo brothers and sisters were placed in the rear by him, responsible for logistics, and the backbone was his own army. Responsible, this group of God of War troops are all composed of Spartan soldiers, among them there are many middle and low-level monsters intimidated by Hydera and Cerberus, while the troops of other gods are all mobilized by him When they arrive at the front line, they act as the cannon fodder for the snake-footed giants to meet the first wave of shock after they are born.

In this regard, although the followers and believers of other gods complained, they did not dare to really say anything to Ares. Ares now has the command of the army. If Reese's arrangement says "no", then the God of War has the right to kill the general directly in front of the battle.

Of course, on the surface they obeyed the arrangement, and there were naturally many small actions in private. On the first day of setting up camp, Ares had already noticed that no less than ten gods had quietly checked the seal on the Pallene Peninsula. I want to confirm whether the seal is really weakened naturally, or if someone deliberately did it.

Ares does not want to restrain the temptations of these subordinate gods. Of course, he and Hecate are responsible for the weakening of the seal of the Pallene Peninsula, but if Hecate's methods can be seen by these subordinate gods Come out, then she, the goddess of magic, can stop working and just go back to the underworld to live in seclusion and get married.

Therefore, after setting up camp, his divine power avatar sat in the army on the surface, and made various arrangements, layer by layer, so that the Olympus army could defend the snake-footed giant at the entrance of the Pallene Peninsula. On the other side, his other avatar hid his figure and quietly came to the Kingdom of Cochise.

In the Kingdom of Cochis at this time, the heroes of the Argonauts had already eaten and drank enough under the hospitality of Medea, and lived safely in the palace for another night, but during this period, the Kingdom of Cochis King Aeetes, father of Medea, never summoned them.

This is a very strange phenomenon. After returning to the palace, Medea did not hide the news of her return. When she entertained her companions, she also dressed up and went out with great fanfare, making the entire Cochise Kingdom know Argo from top to bottom. The heroes on the ship have arrived, but Aeetes seems to be dead, and has not said anything about it.

On the third day, King Aeetes finally sent his envoy to invite Princess Medea and the heroes on the Argo to meet in the banquet hall of the palace.

"Don't talk for a while, just leave it to me."

Medea turned her head and reminded everyone:

"Although it's not good for me to say this as a daughter, my father is really a stingy person. He will probably make things difficult for you."

"What are you afraid of?" Jason said with a smile: "There is Hercules here, and if he dares to make things difficult for us, we will deal with him!"

Medea stared and asked, "You want my nephew to kill my father?"

Hercules quickly shook his head and said, "I never said that, it was all said by Jason."

Seeing that Hercules had confessed to cowardice, Jason quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I listen to you, I listen to you..."

Medea snorted, turned her head away, then quickened her pace, leading everyone into the banquet hall.

In the banquet hall, bright candles were lit on the long table used for entertaining guests, but no food and wine were placed on the table. Obviously, the king of Cochise had no intention of entertaining them.

On the head of the long table, Aeetes, the king of the Kingdom of Cochis, was already sitting there. He was wearing a blue gold-embellished robe, a crown on his head, and a gray beard that made him look Don't be angry.

After seeing him, all the heroes greeted him immediately under the leadership of Medea, and then Medea arranged for the heroes to sit down. During this process, Aeetes watched the group silently. Heroes, it wasn't until Medea sat down at last that he spoke slowly and cried:

"Medea, you don't need to cover it up for them. If I mean to make things difficult for them, do you think they can still bathe, have dinner, and rest in peace in my palace?"

The smile on Medea's face suddenly froze, her eyes were evasive, and in the end she could only smile and say to her father: "My lord father, you'd better not make things difficult for them, there are gods standing behind them. "

"I know." Aeetes said to his daughter: "I know better than you. Of course, I came here to announce another thing to them. Who is Jason?"

The little yellow hair sitting on the seat looked at Hercules beside him, then stood up awkwardly, nodded and said, "I am Jason."

"Hmm." Aeetes looked Jason up and down, and then said, "Why do you look so cowardly? Are you really the captain of the Argo?"

"He is." Medea helped Jason explain a few words: "My lord father, don't look at his usual cowardly face, if he is really in a hurry, he will also jump over the wall... just because of Herac Les is here, he's not under pressure, so that's what he looks like."

"How do you describe jumping over the wall..." Jason protested weakly at the side, but Medea's father and daughter ignored him, and Aeetes said casually: "Fortunately, Medea doesn't like you, otherwise I will definitely chop you up and put them in jars, and then send them to my sister's island, and let her cook you slowly."

The younger sister of Aeetes is the evil goddess Circe, who is especially famous among Greek heroes. If a man falls into the hands of this goddess, it is basically the result of eternal doom. Jason recalled that Medea told them yesterday He couldn't help trembling because of the Eros matter, and said to himself a fluke.

"Forget it, Jason, no matter what kind of person you are, if you want my golden fleece, you can do it." Aietes continued to say to Jason: "Of course, I will give you a test. Only after passing this trial can you get the Golden Fleece."

"What kind of trial?" Jason asked.

"I want you to go to a place." Aeetes said, "That place is called the Pallene Peninsula."

Chapter 244. The Disobedient Dragon

"Palene Peninsula?"

Hearing this place, all the heroes were stunned, only Medea became serious.

"Medea."

After noticing the face of the little witch, Hercules asked:

"Do you know where that place is?"

Medea nodded, and then said: "It's not convenient for me to say it here, Jason, you should think about whether you want to talk about it."

"Can't you give me a little insight?" Jason asked with a deadpan face.

"Oh, you want the golden fleece, not me." Medea turned her face away: "What's more, the golden fleece is my father's property, how can I bend my elbow?"

Seeing Medea's unwillingness to mention this place, Jason knew that the Pallene Peninsula was an extremely dangerous place after thinking about it with his butt, but he had already arrived here, and it was impossible for him to really turn his head Go back, otherwise, the group of heroes who followed him through untold hardships all the way to the Kingdom of Cochise must be the first to kill him.

Moreover, thinking that Hercules is by his side, no matter what difficulties and obstacles, he can overcome them, so Jason finally nodded with difficulty:

"It's all here, I definitely can't give up halfway, I hope King Aeetes can keep his promise afterwards."

"Don't worry, I dare not break my promise."

Aeetes nodded and said:
