Chapter 302 Damn it, there's a cow!
In the camp, the six people who had resolved the misunderstanding gathered in front of a bright fire and exchanged names.
Of course, Lorne is using a pseudonym.
The atmosphere on the field gradually became harmonious through communication. The women were baking clothes and preparing food while talking and laughing; the men were on guard while talking about their respective itineraries.
Coincidentally, these three brothers and sisters who were born in Sparta City, like the Lorne trio, also came to solve the beast disaster in Arcadia.
Moreover, they were reinforcements specially invited by the king of Arcadia.
"Is the diplomatic relationship between Arcadia and Sparta so good?"
Lorne looked at the twin brothers in front of him with surprise on his face.
These three brothers and sisters are not ordinary Spartans, but princes and princesses of Sparta. Not only are they noble in status, but their births are also full of legend.
In Zeus's fateful eighth descent to earth, he transformed into a swan chased by a falcon, got into the arms of Queen Leda of Sparta, and then combined with her semi-forcedly.
After several days of love, Queen Leda became pregnant and gave birth to two golden swan eggs, which hatched out to four angelic children.
One golden egg gave birth to Castor and Clytemnestra, the eldest son and daughter; the other golden egg gave birth to Polyces and Helen, the second son and second daughter.
Two of the sons, Castor and Polykes, were the Greek heroes who were later named Gemini; two daughters, Clytemnestra and Helen, one of whom married the king of the Mycenaean city-state. Agamemnon; the other married Agamemnon's brother Menelaus, and thus triggered the entire Trojan War.
Seeing the surprise on Lorne's face, the twin brothers chuckled and replied.
"We don't want to come, and we're not familiar with the King of Arcadia."
"But, this is Lord Apollo's oracle..."
It seems that they are connected with each other. The two brothers speak very distinctively. They basically follow each other and finish the whole paragraph together.
Apollo?
Lorne was stunned for a moment, then reacted.
In the traditional impression, the Spartans were brave and warlike, belonging to a militarized city-state, and were very suitable for Ares, the **** of war.
But in fact, they mainly believed in Apollo, the **** of light and prophecy.
The Spartans considered Apollo their patron saint, both the **** of war and the **** of art. In Spartan military training, before every expedition, Spartan warriors would go to the Temple of Apollo to pray in the hope of victory and blessing. Because they believed that Apollo's power could give them courage, strength and fighting skills.
As for Ares, sorry, although he is the God of War, he has lost too many times and is disliked by the Spartans.
After all, war is only valuable if it is won.
Well, now Apollo is also the God of War, and Ares is having a rough time.
Lorne was teasing secretly, and based on the twin brothers' narration, he roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter in front of him.
Not long ago, Arcadia suffered a beast disaster. The temple priests asked Artemis, the goddess of hunting, for help, but they never received a response.
In fact, it was not that Artemis was unwilling to help, but that she was not in Arcadia at all.
In order to compete with Ares for the faith of the Amazons, she took the battle nymphs under her command to the paradise island where the Amazons lived. The current battle of faith was at a critical period, and Artemis simply couldn't Not open.
Before leaving, the goddess of hunting asked her brother Apollo to take care of Arcadia, which is the sacred place for hunting goddesses.
Therefore, after hearing about the crisis in Arcadia, Apollo immediately selected the city-state of Sparta, which had the strongest combat power under his command, and issued an oracle a few days ago, asking Sparta to send divine descendants to assist Arcadia. Humans deal with animal disasters.
In this way, the twin brothers, who have the blood of the orthodox gods, accepted the commission and embarked on a journey to conquer the beast disaster.
As for Helen, that was a surprise.
Out of curiosity and fun, the princess sneaked out of the city with her brothers. Although they were caught, the twin brothers couldn't resist their sister's pitiful pleas, so they could only take her with them.
It has to be said that this future most troubled beauty in Greece has revealed her disturbing nature since she was a child.
After hearing this, Lorne sighed secretly and mourned for his great-grandfather.
Ares, Ares, let Apollo lose his authority as the God of War, and Artemis will take away the territory he has worked so hard to save... Together with the whole Olympus, even a **** can give you a hand?
"The food is ready, you can eat."
The sweet voice ended the men's chatter, and Helen led the two brothers and the savior to formally sit down.
The beating bonfire licked the bottom of the pot, and the boiling mushroom soup was filled with delicious flavor; the animal meat that was skewered on the branches and roasted on the side also turned golden in appearance, exuding the aroma of oil.
Helen picked up the spoon and took the lead in serving a full bowl of mushroom soup to Lorne.
Moreover, the wheat cakes and barbecued meat on his plate were obviously larger than others and looked better.
Seeing their sister's obvious favoritism, the twin brothers looked resentful as they waited dryly for the meal. Although I know you want to express your gratitude, it doesn't have to be so obvious, right?
Atalanta and Medea, who were behind, saw that the Spartan princess was so enthusiastic and proactive. Out of their instinctive female sense of smell, they suddenly became wary and immediately sat down as low as a sandwich pancake. He squeezed Lorne in the middle.
He is married, there is no way he can seduce a decent man from Ares Mountain!
In the end, Helen could only sit back beside her brothers angrily, casting somewhat resentful glances from time to time.
Looking at the protective guards on the left and right, as well as the pitiful beauty trouble beside him, Lorn felt on pins and needles and quickly changed the subject.
"Come, come, eat, eat. If you don't eat, you will get cold."
As he spoke, he quickly lowered his head and concentrated on tonight's dinner.
Although the level of sophistication and deliciousness of this meal was not yet on Hestia's level.
But the ingredients in the mountains are quite abundant, and everyone has prepared quite a lot of condiments. The overall taste can be rated at least 70 or 80%.
After the meal, Lorne took out some snacks that he always prepared and shared them with everyone.
The sweet and sour taste sought after by the Greeks, coupled with the exquisite shape, suited the girls very well. Therefore, the three women in the team were immediately busy concentrating on the small cakes in front of them, and no longer had to worry about the issue of Lorne. .
Seeing that the plan was working, Lorne quietly handed over a plate of wheat flour-wrapped grape jam fried snacks until crispy and sweet, then tiptoed back to the tent, quickly added a defensive magic at the door, and dived in Under the quilt, he fell asleep.
Whether he was really sleeping or pretending to sleep, he was not going to deal with the three tigresses anyway.
The night was uneventful and the next morning arrived normally.
After eating, drinking, and resting, everyone walked out of the tent one after another.
After a night of getting along, the six people, who had similar temperaments and the same purpose, quickly reached a consensus and decided to march towards Arcadia together.
咴lvlv~~
In the wilderness, war horses neighed, and two plumes of smoke filled the air. Six people driving their own carriages finally arrived at the disaster-stricken area of Arcadia after several days of trekking.
At this time, the place has been blocked by Arcadia's soldiers.
Soldiers holding guns and shields were scattered in various passes under martial law. After confirming their identities, they solemnly beat their chests in salute and warned in a deep voice.
"A few warriors, after passing this level, there is an area where monsters are raging in front of you. They may appear around you at any time, so be careful!"
"You're here just in time, we are responsible for dealing with these beasts."
Castor smiled heartily, a little unconcerned.
The middle-aged man who looked like an officer opened his mouth, but after seeing the high-spirited looks of the two groups and thinking of their divine identities, he finally did not say anything. He just ordered his subordinates to open the sharpened fence, remove the peripheral defense techniques, and gave simple instructions. A few words.
"More than ten kilometers ahead is the royal city. You can go to the city to gather first for a short rest and basic material supplies. After three days of gathering the manpower, His Majesty will send someone to join you in the mountains to clear out the monsters."
"Okay, thank you very much. Thank you for your hard work."
Lorne nodded his thanks and then drove the carriage through the checkpoint.
"The monsters are a little different this time, so be careful!"
Seemingly moved by Lorne's expression of kindness, the officer who watched the crusade march forward gave a final warning.
Lorne waved his hand to indicate that he had heard the advice, and then drove the carriage and accelerated forward.
Acadia is mountainous and densely forested, and even the main roads mostly run through the gentler slopes of the mountains and forests.
The carriage passed through a thin layer of mountain mist, and the scenery suddenly opened up. Towering trees reached into the sky, and the dense leaves sprinkled patches of green. At noon, the dense fog dissipated slightly.
But even though such bright sunlight passed through the gap, broke through the obstruction of the shadow, and shot into the woods, there were only some inconspicuous marks.
With the breeze blowing on his face, Lorne took a deep breath while driving. The fragrance of the vigorous vitality of the plants and the smell of decaying branches and leaves mixed together, making people itchy their noses and making them want to sneeze.
The Warcraft is different this time... What do you mean?
Lorne thought to himself and observed carefully.
The surrounding plants were surprisingly large, and there were obvious signs of alienation, and the long-lasting haze shrouding the dense forest also had a faint smell of blood.
"Something is coming! Alert!"
Standing on the roof of the car, Atalanta looked at the smoke and dust rising on the mountainside on both sides in the distance, as well as the fallen trees. She couldn't help but pricked her ears and shouted a warning.
Soon, with a violent tremor on the ground, dozens of monsters covered with bright manes and with a pair of fangs on the front rushed out of the dense forest and crashed into two carriages driving on the road.
