Ares, God of War

After finishing her day's work, Medusa returned home, stood by the window, and watched as several Athenians dragged yesterday's slave out of the slave camp to a forest outside the city.

Compared with yesterday, this slave seemed very dull, as if the soul in his brain had left his body, but even so, the Athenians did not slack off. After they stabbed the slave to death with their spears, they His body was completely incinerated with a fire, and he returned to the city-state with peace of mind.

On the other side, the negotiations between the Spartans and the Athenians also started again. Sparta sent a staff officer who was having a heated discussion with several old men in Athens. After a long time, the two sides seemed to have reached an agreement. After reaching a compromise, the Spartans sullenly took over the group of Pelasgis from the slave camp guarded by the Athenians and placed them in their own camp.

After seeing her former subjects enter the protected area of ​​the Spartans, Medusa withdrew her gaze from the window, walked back to her bed, knelt on the bed, folded her hands On his chest, with his head slightly lowered, he silently began to pray.

However, what she prayed to was not Athena, the goddess of wisdom she currently served, but another god known for her tyranny and fear.

Her prayer was quickly answered, and after Ares got in touch with her, he said to her directly:

"How is it? Master didn't break his promise, did he?"

"Yes." Medusa affirmed: "You really are a god who keeps your word, unlike a goddess."

"Hmph, did Athena destroy your tiara today, and then killed the slave who gave you the tiara?"

"Yes." When it came to this topic, Medusa asked a little strangely: "I don't understand, why do you deliberately expose the connection between me and you, and hide it if I don't wear that hair ornament , the goddess probably won’t find out.”

"I won't find out... there are ghosts." Ares said: "Make sure, you serve Athena, the goddess of wisdom. You have only come to Athens for a short time, and the Spartans under my management are about to buy you from the Athenians." Believers, do you think Athena will not be suspicious? So it is a good thing to take the initiative to expose to her. If you don’t hide your hair accessories, and tell her how you got them, then she will probably think that the slave is me. The eyeliner, and you are passively accepted, I was monitored, but if you hide your hair accessories and she finds out, then she must understand that I have colluded with you. "

"Oh." After hearing this, Medusa was a little dazed: "So there are so many sayings in it?"

"You don't need to know so much about intrigue, just be a priest at ease, and just pray to me when you have difficulties." Ares said: "Athena is not an opponent you can deal with, and I guess, even if I deliberately Let her destroy that hair ornament, she will still doubt whether you and I have colluded for a long time, the next temptation will probably not be less, you pay attention to yourself, remember, more words and more mistakes, she asks you questions, you Nod and shake your head, just don't make a sound."

"I see." Medusa nodded.

"Tomorrow, the Atlanteans should be going to the sea off Athens. According to what I said before, I will pull the Pelasgis and the Spartans to the front line. They will definitely suffer casualties. After all, freedom also has a price. , but I can guarantee that their casualties will be minimized."

Ares finally said.

"I understand." Medusa nodded, "Thank you, God of War."

"No need to say thank you." Ares said pointedly: "Medusa, after all, we are all prisoners of certain existence."

Chapter 43. Your people are like a pack of wild dogs

In the early morning of the next day, outside the city of Athens, the Aegean Sea, which was originally calm and sealess, suddenly began to be rough.

And in this violent storm, countless large ships full of Atlanteans arrived at the coast of Athens under the cover of Poseidon.

When the people of Athens saw these terrifying ships approaching, they were within a few miles of the coastline of the city of Athens.

The Athenians who were in charge of guarding the watchtower were taken aback, and hurriedly wanted to light the beacon to inform their companions in the city, but the heavy rain fell in the sky, which made all the prepared wood become wet and could not be ignited at all.

In a critical moment, the Athenian could only raise the horn and blow it vigorously, hoping that the soldiers in the city could hear the sound of the horn.

But just at this time, there was another storm in the sky, and the terrible storm immediately buried the sound of the horn.

The Athenian was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. Seeing that the big ship of the Atlanteans had disembarked countless small boats full of soldiers, rowing towards the beach, ready to land, but the city of Athens still looked like defenseless.

But at this moment, as if seeing through Poseidon's trick, the tallest building in the city of Athens, the statue of Athena in the Parthenon suddenly raised the Aegis in his hand.

The light on her shield illuminated the entire coast, illuminating the Atlantean fleet like a searchlight, leaving them nowhere to hide.

"Atlanteans?"

"When did they arrive? They are already so close?"

"Quick! Inform everyone, take up arms!"

The warriors in the city of Athens finally saw the group of Atlanteans who had reached the edge under the condition of the goddess' apparition. They quickly blew their horns and picked up the weapons they bought from Sparta. When they came to the simple city wall that had just been built, they were ready for battle.

Although these Athenians were all slaves who escaped from their own slave owners, they had not experienced the process of taking up arms to fight against foreign enemies. I also said before that fighting is the right of citizens in the Greek world, and slaves are not worthy of the battlefield. Yes, and they were able to get free, most likely because of the apparition of Athena, so that the slave owners "give her a face."

Therefore, these Athenians are all new to the battle. Looking at the glamorous army of Atlantis, they are still a little afraid in their hearts.

But they were afraid, and there was still a group of fearless people present. After seeing the assault boat of the Atlanteans had washed up on the beach, the leader of the Athenians followed Athena's instructions and directly confronted Atlantis. The commander of the Partans winked, and the commander of the Spartans was not afraid after receiving the order that almost sent the Spartans to rush forward. He just nodded indifferently and went He turned around and walked outside the city, and walked into a forest higher up on the beach outside the city.

Soon, the vanguard of the Atlanteans completed the landing operation on the beach in Athens. Their group of warriors totaled about [-] people, all dressed in gorgeous armor and holding a three-pronged sword like a sea king. Halberd-like weapons, and all equipped with shields and fighting swords, it seems that the fighting power seems to be much stronger than that of the Athenians.

But just as they went down to the ground and hadn't completed their army formation, they heard the forest above their heads shouting suddenly:

"For—Sparta!"

Accompanied by the shout of a man full of spirit, the vanguard of the Atlanteans raised their heads and saw in astonishment a group of muscular men wearing Spartan helmets and red cloaks, Holding the spear and the round shield in hand, he jumped directly from the high ground which was nearly eight meters vertically from the beach.

They landed like meteors, and the moment they landed, they stabbed to death the unlucky Atlantean who was stepped on under their feet. Then, these Spartans pulled out their spears from the corpses of their enemies, He rushed directly to the surrounding enemy troops without fear.

Their strength is astonishing. When fighting, crimson magic lines will appear on their body surface, and the light of magic power flows inside, turning into a blood-red halo, wrapping around their weapons and shields superior.

Moreover, these Spartans are not afraid of pain and blows. Their roars can burst into spherical sound waves visible to the naked eye, and their kicks can even directly smash the breastbone of an Atlantean wearing armor. .

Although the number of the Spartans was only [-], in front of them, the vanguard of the Atlanteans, who had more than three times the number of people, was beaten to pieces in an instant. defeated.

When the people of Sparta were killing and killing, their god, Ares, the director of war, also appeared on the cliff outside Athens. He inserted his spear in the center of the battlefield, and then overlooked Sparta. The appearance of the masters fighting the enemy bravely, grinned happily, and applauded again and again:

"Okay! You are worthy of my people of Ares! That's it, kill your enemies! Let everyone be terrified by your bravery! Because I will be with you!"

"what!"

Hearing Ares' encouragement, the morale of the Spartans went up to a higher level. They burst out with terrifying cries, and fought even more excessively. Some even used their well-made spears and daggers It was cut off directly, and then they threw out the shield directly and began to perform "tearing the Atlanteans by hand" for the people of Athens on the battlefield.

After a chaotic battle, the vanguard of the Atlanteans retreated completely, and the commander of the Atlantean royal family who brought them was directly chopped off by the Spartan chief. The Commander of the Talents pierced the head with his lance, held it aloft, and roared at the Atlantean host:

"Sparta must win!"

"Sparta must win!"
