Greece Brings Evildoers Chapter 69

Chapter 69 I just want to live a good life, not die.

“Okay, that's enough, I won't mention these old things.”

As everyone ate until they were full, King Minos came back to his senses, turned to look at the mysterious wise man who had high hopes for the goddess Athena, and talked about the most difficult problem at the moment.

“What suggestions do you have regarding the beast tide?”

“Can you calculate the time of their next action?” Lorne asked.

"Although a lot of sea beasts and sea monsters have been lost, it is far from the point of breaking their muscles and bones. After all, there are too many of these things in the Sea of Oceanus, and they seem to be constantly attacking Crete. Gathering near the island.”

Speaking of this, King Minos looked a little ugly.

“According to the current speed of assembly, they will be able to replenish the missing quantity in less than three days, and by then I am afraid they will launch a second round of impact.”

Lorne took a sip of the fruit juice in the cup and added faintly.

"Furthermore, with the first test, they should have roughly confirmed the combat strength of Crete. The intensity of the second round of beast tide is expected to increase linearly, and I am afraid that there will be more gods-blooded clans participating in the battle. ”

Suddenly, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more dull.

“The battle hasn't started yet, so this expression doesn't look good, right?”

Lorne teased a little, diluting the stagnant feeling around him a little, and gave his general opinion.

"My suggestion is to take advantage of the break of the sea monsters to transfer the population as soon as possible to preserve the active force, build fortresses along the coastline, build defense lines in layers, connect the Cretan cities into a whole, block them step by step, and try their best to Procrastination, trading space for time…”

"If we just rely on dragging, plus the number of people being accommodated, the city's food, weapons, and medicine reserves may not be enough to survive the winter."

King Minos reminded in a low voice, with some hesitation in his eyes.

“Don't worry, the other side is more anxious than us.”

Lorne responded thoughtfully, pointing to Mount Olympus in the distance with a half-smile.

"Crete is a transportation hub for entering and exiting the Oceanus Sea. If you want to isolate the place from the outside world, you will almost have to block most of the offshore sea. Such a big movement cannot last for long, unless these sea monsters plan to and hostility to all of Greece.

If this is the case, you just issued a call to invite heroes from all city-states, such as Delphi, Corinth, Thebes, Sparta... these famous city-states, don't forget to send people to spread the word, for the future of Greece, Everyone needs to work together and come to Crete to participate in this grand event, fight against this natural disaster of beast tides, and reopen the waterways blocked by the beast tides. "

Such a straightforward answer, even Hestia could hear the evil intentions hidden in it.

Delphi is the territory of Apollo. Corinth believes in the sun **** Helios. Thebes and Sparta are also involved with the war **** Ares. Involving so many city-states is equivalent to bringing together a group of gods. Indirectly pulling them off the field and forcing them to regroup.

At that time, Poseidon, the lord of the sea, was roasted on the fire.

As for why we can't invite the heroes of those city-states to enter now, the reason is very simple.

How could they easily support the Minoans without any related loss of interests?

It seems that this beast tide is not so unsolvable, as long as it is delayed long enough.

“Don't be happy too early…”

But immediately, a faint groan broke the luck that several people had just had. Lorne rubbed his eyebrows, his eyes were calm and deep.

“What we can understand, I'm afraid the other party also understands.

So, the longer it lasts, the intensity of the beast tide will also increase linearly. If you put all your hopes on passive defense, you may just sit back and wait for death.

Therefore, we need to be prepared to counterattack and wait for the opponent to be the first to lose control and expose the commander who controls the beast tide.

Then, we will concentrate our superior strength, find the gap, carry out beheading operations, and kill the target!

In this way, the beast tide that loses its leadership will automatically retreat to the depths of the Oceanus Sea, and the crisis in Crete will be temporarily resolved..."

Hearing this clear master plan, King Minos suddenly cleared the clouds in his mind, and his thoughts suddenly became smoother. With excitement, he couldn't help but cast his blazing eyes on the wise man mentioned by the goddess.

"In this case, I would like to ask you to serve as the commander of the legion and be fully responsible for the war situation!"

"Don't!"

Lorne waved his hands repeatedly and refused without hesitation.

“I am only suitable for giving advice and don't have much experience in marching and fighting. Putting the lives of so many people in my hands will only harm them.”

Appreciating a wise, knowing those out. Lorne's ability to survive to this day largely depends on his self-knowledge.

He can live a good life, but he does not want to die.

And large army battles are not a game on a chessboard. As a layman, if you enter, you don't know how many people will be killed if you are not careful.

Of course, tricking people to death is secondary. If it undermines the overall situation, it is equivalent to tricking yourself.

What's more, his biggest advantage at present is that he hides in the dark. Once he is exposed too much in front of others and is targeted by the Olympus gods, it will be even worse than the gain.

Hearing the stern rejection, King Minos couldn't help but calm down. His favorable impression of the young wise man in front of him further increased, and his eyes were full of praise and appreciation.

There are not many people who can maintain their character and recognize themselves in the face of power.

Unfortunately, several of his sons lacked this talent.

But immediately, King Minos was in a dilemma.

"However, without a precise identity, your actions will inevitably be restricted by some factors."

"How about this-"

Lorne's eyes flashed, he put his head on little Medusa's head and stroked it for a while, smiling and giving out the prepared plan.

“Although Anna is the goddess's chosen envoy, she has no subordinate priest, so I temporarily serve as her scribe, responsible for recording and delivering messages.”

“Okay, it's up to you!”

King Minos nodded repeatedly and fully agreed to this arrangement.

As Lorne and King Minos further finalized the details of the host population and the construction of an offshore defense system, the banquet gradually came to an end.

The cups and plates were in a mess, the dishes were full, and the four of them got up one after another.

"I'm afraid there are still a lot of things to prepare and deal with today, so I won't keep you here."

In the current crisis, King Minos, as the host, was not polite. After calling his second daughter who was responsible for picking up the guests, he strode towards the palace administration office.

It won't be long before the beast tide will come back, and he needs to seize the time to arrange everything he can.

Looking at the old man with almost white beard and hair in the sun, Lorne couldn't help but feel an inexplicable feeling of sadness.

As sons of God, as long as they cannot escape the shackles of fate, they are ultimately just toys for the games played by the gods.

However, that subtle emotion only lasted for a short moment.

Lorne, who had already tempered his tenacity through various twists and turns, waved to the two people behind him.

“Let's go, it's getting late.”

The low-key and luxurious carriage drove out of the palace, passed through the much deserted streets of Knossos, and stopped steadily in front of Hestia's house. The three of them got out of the carriage one after another.

Approaching the door, Lorne looked back at Princess Ariadne, who had been accompanying him all the way, and asked in a deep voice.

“Can the temple obtain specific soldiers and population data on Crete, as well as topography and river maps of the entire territory?”

"These should be in the archives." Princess Ariadne nodded and said directly, "If you need it, I will send someone to deliver it immediately."

In the initial stage of civilization, in addition to holding divine power, Western priests were often the disseminators of culture and knowledge.

It is much more reliable to ask them about many things than asking grassroots officials.

Seeing that this smart princess was so knowledgeable, Lorne couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, waved goodbye, and stepped into the home.

But as soon as he closed the door, an intolerable voice echoed loudly in the living room.

“How could Zeus do this!”
