Ares, God of War

"I'm not a star soldier." Ares said as he removed Hecate's palm, "A star soldier can't survive in front of the holy sword forged by planetary restraint. If I want to live, I just It must be stronger than the star soldiers."

"Is this the time to make such a joke?" Hecate was rarely angry. She put her hands on her hips and pointed to Ares' nose with the other and said:

"My old lady has managed to teach an apprentice who can stand on his own. You haven't enjoyed the process of being filial to the master, so you are going to send it? What do you mean? Ah?"

Seeing that Hecate still wanted to speak, Ares continued: "Teacher, please calm down first, this is no longer a matter of death or not, it is Gaia that insists on my death."

While speaking, he told Hecate the conditions proposed by Croto. After listening, the goddess of the moon was silent for a long time, and then she sighed:

"Ares, how about this, I have recently analyzed the structure of Typhon almost, you wait for me first, I will make you a new body, you give up your strength and identity, start from scratch Come on, what do you think?"

"Okay, teacher, thank you for your kindness, but no need."

Ares shook his head and said:

"In front of Gaia, this kind of trick will probably not work, and, this time, I am not going to continue to back down."

He stared at the dark sky of the underworld, thought for a while, and then asked Hecate:

"Teacher, I'm a little embarrassed, but this time, I would like to ask you for help. In the face of Gaia, my own ability and strength are definitely not enough."

"Okay, I'll help you again this time."

Hecate closed her eyes and thought for a while, then said directly to Ares.

"Is it so simple?"

Ares looked at his teacher in surprise.

"Anyway, you only have two hundred years to live." Hecate sighed, "You are also the first apprentice I accept, and you are about to die. I will do my duty as a teacher to save you. chant."

Ares laughed and said, "You are right."

The two paused for a moment at the same time, and Hecate asked again:

"Then what are you going to ask me to do for you?"

"First, I need an army."

Ares squatted down and drew a big circle on the ground:

"An army that can fight against Olympus and the gods, and after defeating them, it must be able to perfectly replace their army."

"Are you... wanting to attack Olympus directly, kill Zeus, and seize the throne of the god king?" Hecate thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and praised: "Indeed, if you can put all your eggs in one basket and take the throne of the god king?" King's authority, then maybe the restraining force will let you go because of it."

"No, I don't want the position of God King, I'm not interested in this position." Ares shook his head and said: "I want to fight with fate and defeat my fate!"

Chapter 24. Building a City

Olympus Shrine, within the Palace of the King of Gods.

Seeing the gradually prospering city of Thebes under the leadership of Cadmus, Zeus withdrew his gaze in satisfaction, and then finally looked at the one who "lurked" behind Typhon's enemy, under the watchful eyes of Athena and Typhon. Next, the loyal son who had worked so hard to give his god thunder back to him.

"Aris, you did a good job this time."

He asked his son:

"What reward do you want?"

Ares pretended to think hard for a while, and then said what he had thought about for a long time:

"I want the gods to help me build a city-state that believes in me, just like Apollo's Delphi."

Ares' request is quite satisfactory as the main god. At this point in time, the stronger group of the twelve main gods of Olympus has more or less established their own city-states and countries on the earth, such as Apo Luo is the patron saint of Delphi, and Hera is the lord of Argos and Samos. In addition to owning a city-state of Paros, Poseidon also raised an island in the depths of the sea, and established an island on it called The country of Atlantis, and except for these city-states and countries, most of the rest of the city-states respect Zeus, the king of the gods, as the patron saint.

Among the powerful main gods, only Ares and Athena have not established their own city-states for a long time. Athena seems to be still choosing the address and the manpower to build the city, and the group of people that Ares likes is still a group of people. A tribe called the Dorians.

At this point in time, Ares proposed to build his own city, which is understandable as the main god.

So Zeus didn't think too much, he waved his hand and said decisively: "Okay, sure."

After agreeing to Ares' request, Zeus looked around the gods and asked Ares again:

"Ares, what kind of city-state do you want?"

In the world of the Greek god system, the land is basically a loose alliance formed by city-states. All city-states believe in the gods on Mount Olympus, but the city-states do not obey the gods on Mount Olympus. The leadership of the same king.

These city-states are independent, and they will also conduct wars and alliances with each other according to the situation. To attract the population of other places, the city-state itself must have its own characteristics. For example, Delphi of Apollo, which uses the prophecy of the God of Light as its biggest selling point .

Now that Ares wants to establish a city-state that mainly believes in him, this city-state must naturally have its own selling point.

"Of course, it is a city-state that gathers the most powerful fighters in the world!"

After hearing Zeus' question, Ares clenched his fist and said without hesitation.

The gods were not surprised to hear what he said as a matter of course. Not to mention whether a city-state that can only fight and kill can attract enough population, at least this characteristic is very war-god.

"Then, go down and build your own city-state."

Zeus said to Ares:

"If you need help from other gods, you can call them. This is the privilege I give you."

"it is good!"

Ares looked happy and nodded again and again.

The morning meeting of the gods dispersed, and Ares' divine power avatar quickly returned to the Temple of War God, began to guide his chosen staff, and began to think about how to build his own power.
