Ares, God of War

After a while, the dragon teeth he "planted" reacted, and something began to stir under the soil. After a while, there was a heavily armed warrior wearing a helmet and holding a spear under the ground. Standing up, after him, more warriors stood up, and after a while, the dragon teeth that were cast down by Ares had become a whole team of warriors, standing in place.

After everyone stood up, suddenly a warrior in the team drew out his dagger and slashed at his companion beside him. His action seemed to be a signal, and the warriors present quickly used their weapons Equipment, fighting chaotically into a pile.

Ares pretended to be shocked, pulled out the machete, and stood ready. After seeing his actions, one of the warriors shouted at him:

"Don't take arms against us, don't take part in the war between our brothers!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his throat was stabbed by the samurai next to him, and he fell to the ground.

Ares turned to look at Athena with a questioning look on his face, while the goddess of wisdom nodded to him: "Listen to them."

Ares then stood by the goddess with his hands tied, watching the bloody duel. The group of warriors fought each other, and soon there were only five of them left. Seeing this, Athena raised her hands and ordered: :

"That's it for now, warriors."

Hearing Athena's order, the warriors present also put down their weapons, and they came to Ares and stood in a row.

"Cadmus, they will be your subordinates from now on." Athena looked at Ares tenderly and said to him, "They will help you establish the city-state of Thebes and help you become the king of Thebes. "

"Thank you, goddess Athena." Ares bowed to her: "After the matter is completed, I will build a temple in the city-state to worship the gods, and thank the gods and the God of War for their kindness."

"Huh?" Hearing what Cadmus said, Athena asked, "Even if Ares has done something like stocking poisonous dragons, are you still willing to respect him?"

"This is this, that is that." Ares heard the words, lowered his head, pretended to be emotional, and stroked the two weapons hanging around his waist, "Even if the God of War is really wrong, but what he gave me The two weapons still accompany me through this difficult journey, and I will never forget his kindness."

Athena's eyes flickered, she didn't know what to think, and suddenly smiled and said:

"Well, Cadmus, I am pleased with your virtue."

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her finger and ordered the five Dragon Tooth Warriors who followed Ares to lift up all the corpses of those Dragon Tooth Warriors on the ground, and then let them bring the corpses to the place designated by Apollo. On the grass, a large hole was dug and the body was buried in it.

The five dragon-toothed warriors were extremely powerful, and quickly finished the work assigned by the goddess. After they finished, Athena came to the grass with the scepter in her hand, tapped the ground with the scepter, and immediately The earth shook.

There was a huge gap in the ground, and then, a magnificent city-state slowly rose from the crack in the ground and appeared in front of Ares.

Ares looked towards the city-state, and found that the walls, buildings, and the center of the street were all depicted with patterns of Athena, and all of them were statues of Athena.

Only in the central temple are the twelve main gods of Olympus, and Zeus is the main one.

Seeing the city-state, Ares suddenly understood Athena's intentions. After seeing that the poisonous dragon still couldn't reverse "Cadmus"'s belief in Ares, the goddess suddenly realized that she could not achieve the evil on Cadmus. The purpose of aliasing Ares, if she continued, she might incur the disgust of "Cadmus", so she directly activated the backup plan.

For creatures like human beings, the role of the subconscious mind is huge. Living in a city-state full of Athena for a long time, it is impossible not to have a sense of affinity with Athena, and Ares, as a "mortal" at the moment, It is impossible to refuse a city-state that was directly built by a god and handed over.

Of course, that is for mortals, and Ares himself is certainly not afraid.

He was going to wait for Athena to give the city to himself, and then proceeded to rebuild the city, replacing all the statues of virgins in the city-state.

"This city is a gift from me for your noble character." Athena raised her white arm and announced, pointing to the city-state behind her.

"Thank you goddess!" Ares showed a flattered expression, and then said: "Then according to the will of the gods, this city will be called Thebes from now on."

Chapter 21. Gaia's spokesperson (third update)

After the completion of the city of Thebes, Ares called on his servants and asked them to lead a team to gather nearby villagers and become citizens of the city-state of Thebes.

As for the five dragon tooth soldiers, Ares also gave them the status of nobles, but did not give them any actual power. After all, these five warriors born from Athena's dragon tooth were loyal to Cadmus, king of Thebes, is still loyal to Athena, Ares can imagine with his ass.

Under the influence of the miracle caused by Ares and his heroic deeds of killing the poisonous dragon, the villagers and refugees near the city of Thebes quickly gathered around this center, and Ares gave Their status as citizens, as promised before, made those servants who followed him become famous families in Thebes. With the help of this group of people, everything in Thebes quickly became orderly. .

At the moment when the city of Thebes was handed over to Ares, Athena quietly left here, and when the order of Thebes was initially established and Ares' clone became king, the goddess of wisdom came to the city again. , gave him a commendation, and then said:

"As a king, you cannot live without a queen. You have helped the god king defeat Typhon before, so the gods decided to give you a goddess as a wife. Which goddess do you like?"

Seeing Ares looking at her, Athena added: "Of course, you can't choose a virgin goddess or a goddess who has a husband."

Now this scene, Ares also expected, so he made a look of embarrassment, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said to Athena solemnly:

"Great Athena, in fact, I have already decided to follow in the footsteps of my Lord, God of War Ares, and become a pure warrior, so I don't want a queen or anything."

Athena frowned slightly: "It doesn't do any good for a king to learn from the God of War. The God of War is immortal, but you have a limit of life. After you die, you will have no heirs. Who will inherit Thebes?"

"When the time comes, I will perform a sacrifice, ask the gods for their opinions, follow the will of the gods, and choose my own children."

Ares said solemnly:

"Since this Thebes is a city bestowed on me by God, it should be returned to God's children to inherit after I die."

"Is that right?"

Athena's eyes flickered for a moment, she seemed a little skeptical, but fanatical believers imitated their main gods, and it is not without precedent that the gods do not marry or marry. For example, there are many goddesses who never marry in Artemis. The official is serving her, and even the Goddess of Wisdom, without any source of information, would never think of a mortal hero who is actually the clone of the God of War.

After all, she didn't really care about Cadmus. Even if Cadmus didn't believe in her, he pushed the dragon-toothed warriors who helped him build the city to the margins of the nobles of Thebes. Na is not bad either.

For her own city, she has her own considerations, and Cadmus' side, to put it bluntly, is just that she came here to get acquainted and make a good impression on the heroes.

Then she answered:

"Then I will take your answer back to Olympus and let Zeus judge your decision."

Seeing Athena, the goddess of wisdom, turned and left, Ares was slightly relieved. He knew that with Zeus' temper, he would definitely agree to his request.

There are no ugly goddesses on Mount Olympus, all of them are beautiful women, and these goddesses are also the bargaining chips used by God King Zeus to win people's hearts, or the objects of entertainment.

He wants to give Cadmus a goddess as his wife. In addition to thanking Cadmus for helping him cheat his tendons and tendons back from Typhon, it is actually more of a face-saving project. He must represent the gods and reward Cadmus, a mortal who maintained their rule, otherwise, the rule of the gods among mortals may be difficult to maintain in the future.

But if Cadmus himself voluntarily rejected the good intentions of the gods, then Zeus cannot be blamed for being stingy. On the contrary, Zeus has won the reputation of being generous among humans, and he does not need to give the goddess, which is simply prostitution.

But at the moment Athena turned and left, an accident happened.
