Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 309

Chapter 309 This is a necessary sacrifice

The atmosphere in the Arcadia Palace was extremely dull.

King Iasos, who was lying on the bed, had a pale face and a hint of unwillingness in his eyes. He looked towards the figure in front of him who was wearing a star-and-moon robe and holding a double snake staff and asked again.

"Master [Teacher], is there really no other way?"

"Your Majesty, alchemy cannot create something out of nothing. If you want to get something, you must pay a corresponding price. And the only thing that can save lives is life..."

A low voice came from the black robe, and the mysterious [Teacher] shook his head slightly, with a helpless expression on his face.

King Iasos bit his lip, his face uncertain.

"But wouldn't this be too risky?"

"Conquering Warcraft will inevitably be accompanied by death. This is the path they chose. You are not responsible for it. Besides, by doing this, we only make this sacrifice more valuable."

"After all, they are here to quell the disaster in Arcadia..."

"You are the pillar that keeps Arcadia standing. Since they want to restore peace to this land, then sacrificing their lives for you is what they should do."

Finally, under the persuasion of the [Teacher], King Iasos was silent for a while, then he pressed his chest, which started to hurt a little again, with a fierce look in his eyes, and he spoke decisively.

"Okay, just do as you say!"

Hearing King Iasos's deep groans, [The Leader] raised his hand to caress his chest and nodded respectfully.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your trust."

On the third day, the [Royal Palace] and [Moon Temple] issued a gathering order early in the morning to prepare for a formal crusade against the [Beast Disaster] raging in the Arcadia Mountains.

Heroes from various city-states responded one after another and gathered in front of the palace square one after another.

Lorne and his group also packed their things early and prepared to go out.

However, before leaving, the twin brothers refused their sister Helen's request to go with them and refused to take her to participate in this crusade.

The twin brothers still have lingering fears about their previous experience of narrowly surviving on the mountain road.

Not only did their sister almost die in the mouth of the three-headed dragon snake, but they themselves almost died from the poisonous mist of the monster.

In the Arcadia mountains where the monsters are overrun, there is no telling how many dangers are waiting for them. The two brothers are not sure of their escape. If they bring their spoiled sister Helen with them, the risk factor will increase exponentially. .

Neither the public nor the private twin brothers wanted their sister Helen to follow them into the mountains for adventure.

Therefore, the safest way is to let Helen stay in the royal city of Arcadia, which is protected by high walls, and wait for news of their triumph.

Helen was naturally very reluctant to her brothers' decision, but facing her two determined brothers, she could only give in depressedly and stay in the courtyard with a protective barrier.

To be on the safe side, Lorne also added a few defensive techniques.

After everything was arranged, everyone rushed to the palace square.

When they arrived at their destination, they found that dozens of divine-blood heroes had gathered here.

However, they are basically second or third generation descendants of gods with limited talents and abilities. Although many have entered the realm of demigods, most of them are not famous.

Lorne looked around and couldn't find a few divine-blood heroes whose names he had heard of, so he could only temporarily put out his thoughts of killing people in the Eighty-Eight Star Palace.

Similarly, the surrounding divine blood heroes were also secretly sizing up these new members of the hunt. After hearing some information about their tests and the names of the two Spartan princes, everyone's eyes suddenly became a little more intimate. .

Of course, a certain white-light useless card was not in this group, but it was because of his overly handsome appearance and the two beautiful girls accompanying him that he attracted a lot of contemptuous looks.

No need to ask, this is probably a pretty boy who is not good at anything.

Lorne didn't take this seriously, but the twin brothers who had been favored by him couldn't bear to look at it. They loudly reported to the priests of the Temple of the Moon who were in charge of the audit that he was a teacher at the Athens Academy.

Hearing this important identity, the surrounding divine blood heroes could not help but restrain their contempt and awe.

[Athens Academy] is the most well-known educational institution in Greece, with the goal of eliminating ignorance and enlightening wisdom.

It was co-founded by the sage Chiron and other gods. During this period, it widely absorbed talents from all over Greece, spread knowledge to the human group, and brought considerable changes to the entire society. Strictly speaking, they were all beneficiary.

The accomplished medical **** Asclepius and many divine descendants from various countries joined Ares Mountain after graduation. They are walking around, treating diseases and saving people, eliminating disasters, or innovating technology, constantly benefiting the world.

With the dual support of [Athens Academy] and [Ares Mountain], as well as the popularization and spread of various cultures, Athens has long become the cultural center of Greece, and has the reputation of "Athens of the Greeks".

Seeing the change in the attitude of the people around him towards him, Lorne nodded secretly.

In an era where strength is respected, it is very rare to earn a unique respect for culture and education from the God descendants group, which is enough to prove that the [Cultural Victory] strategy he and Athena formulated has achieved good results.

As long as the plan continues patiently, with the disappearance of the gods and the end of the heroes, Athens will surely make the whole of Greece become "the Greece of the Athenians."

"Everyone, it's almost time, let's set off!"

Among the crowd, a handsome young man wearing bronze armor was surrounded and climbed onto the high platform and shouted.

The heroes who couldn't wait to establish their achievements rose up in response. The stars gathered around the young man and lined up, and began to prepare and set off.

Seeing that the three of them were a little confused, Castor, the elder brother of the twins, pointed at the young man who was vaguely the leader of the team and took the initiative to introduce them.

"He is the commander of this operation. He was personally appointed by King Iasos. I heard that he is a descendant of Hermes and has awakened the power of [Godly Speed] in his blood. What is his name..."

"Hippomenes."

His younger brother Pollux spoke in a deep voice and added the follow-up at the right time. When Lorne heard this, his eyelids twitched and he frowned slightly.

It's him? In the legend, the mysterious hero who sacrificed to Aphrodite, the goddess of love, in order to pursue Atalanta, and finally used three golden apples to cheat and beat Atalanta in the race?

The reason why it is named "mysterious" is because the various versions of the story do not describe this person too much. We only know that he won the game by cheating and finally won the beauty, but his identity and origins are unknown. But it seems like a mystery.

As if he heard the conversation between several people, the young man named "Hippomenes" turned his head and smiled to show his kindness.

When he saw the two beautiful women in the team, Hippomenes couldn't help but have a touch of surprise and passion in his eyes.

As if out of the keen intuition of felines, Atalanta subconsciously avoided the other party's gaze, leaned behind her teacher, frowned and murmured.

"The way he looked at me... was weird and I didn't like it."

"Me too…"

Medea on the side was holding her tin staff and also muttering softly.

Lorne nodded and suggested to the twin brothers beside him.

"This crusade shouldn't require everyone to act together, right? Why don't we form a team?"

"good!"

The twin brothers nodded in agreement and readily accepted the invitation from Lorne and the three of them to form a team.

When they go out, compared to hanging out with a group of strangers, they are naturally more willing to entrust their backs to the partners around them who have experienced life and death crises together.

And with the twin brothers taking the lead, Lorne and the others don't have to worry about Acadia's official attitude.

After all, as noble Spartan princes, the two of them were reinforcements specially invited by the King of Arcadia to show off his old face, so there was no need to buy into the favor of Hippomenes, the temporary commander.

Sure enough, when he saw the few people who had distanced themselves from the team, mingling with the priests of the Temple of the Moon, Hippomenes just frowned, and finally did not speak, acquiescing to the unique behavior of a few people.

Soon, the assembled beast-disaster crusade team left the city in a mighty manner and headed towards the hinterland of the Arcadia mountains. From a distance, there were hundreds of people.

In fact, in this crusade, in addition to dozens of descendants from various city-states, there were also priests from the Temple of the Moon, alchemists from the Hermetic sect, restorative magicians from the Eleusinian sect, and saints from the Dionysian sect. only…

In order to complete their work in one battle and completely eliminate the beast disaster, the elite forces in Arcadia mobilized collectively.

Of course, in order to invite spellcasters from different sects to contribute, the King of Arcadia had to cut his flesh.

It is a basic condition to relax restrictions and allow the three sects to preach in Acadia.

The missionary scene of demons dancing wildly that Lorne saw on the street was because of this.

In addition, the King of Arcadia almost emptied the warehouse and gave a lot of rare herbs, magic crystals and rare metals as rewards to the personnel of the three major sects.

With these benefits in mind, the three competing sects are willing to work together to deal with the beast disaster in Arcadia.

Sure enough, it is a universal truth no matter what era it is that the king does not need hungry soldiers.

Lorne's joking eyes swept over the believers of the three sects, and inadvertently saw a somewhat familiar figure in the Dionysian Cult.

- He was a simple and honest middle-aged man with an unusually thick right arm and a faint vapor all over his body.

His name is "Polymonus", he was the son of a fisherman on the island of Crete, and he was also the first believer to join and believe in Dionysus, the **** of wine.

And the arm on his body once belonged to Orion, the son of Poseidon.

Although the divine blood contained in it has been fused with Polymonus, giving him a long life like a descendant of the gods, time will eventually carve deep marks on his face, scraping the former youth into a middle-aged man. The appearance of the year.

However, the passage of time also gave him another gift.

After time's polishing and precipitation, Polymonos has entered the realm of demigods, and because of his firm belief and missionary achievements, he has become a famous saint in the Dionysian religion. Currently, he is the leader of the Arcadia region. The missionary work was his responsibility.

Seeing his old friend from the past appearing in front of him in his current appearance, as an immortal god, Lorne felt quite emotional.

Sensing the gaze behind him, Polymonus turned around, smiled heartily, and threw a wine flask over.

"Little brother, are you thirsty? Come and try my new wine!"

"Thanks."

Lorne thanked him and happily accepted the kindness. He pulled out the cork and took a sip of the authentic Cretan-style wine. He looked up at the vast mountains shrouded in clouds and mist, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The Acadian Mountains, here we come.

Soon, everyone came to the sentry booth that divided the dangerous and safe areas, ready to hand over and complete the procedures for entering the mountain.

However, a strong smell of blood permeated the camp. The sentry booths and fences reinforced by magic were in pieces. The wreckage was covered with scratches and bites from monsters. The hundreds of garrison troops that were supposed to be guarding here all disappeared.

Judging from the degree of dryness of the blood and the remaining traces around it, the attack should have happened last night, and they were probably in danger.

Lorne leaned down and picked up a bronze epaulette with a silver moon emblem from the scarlet soil. The figure of the middle-aged officer waving them off could not help but appear in front of his eyes. He dusted off the dust and mud and wiped it off. Put it in your pocket.

Atalanta followed the crushed and trampled plants around her, looked at the forest path ahead on the left, and spoke in a deep voice.

"According to the hunting habits of monsters, they can't carry so many corpses very far, so there must be a nest of those beasts nearby!"

"Catch up, kill them and avenge the innocent people who died!"

Hippomenes raised his arms and roared, and the heroes seemed to be affected by this tragic scene. They shouted excitedly, immediately picked up their weapons, put on their armor, and followed the leader into the mountains to fight against the raging evil beasts. them.
