Chapter 77 Everyone goes first, I come last!
Crete, in front of the coastal fortress.
King Minos, who became the focus of the battlefield due to the sudden change, tore off the tattered robe that was in the way, revealing the muscles of his upper body that were made of steel. With one hand, he raised the golden handle that represented the power and destiny of the Cretan king. The scepter pointed at the dark sea where the beast tide gathered, and he laughed loudly.
“Talos, my sword and my shield! Now that you've woken up, help me wipe out the foreign enemies!”
“—As you command, my king!”
The solemn response came from behind the coastal fortress, resounding like rolling thunder throughout the surroundings.
On the horizon, the towering 100-meter-high bronze giant looked down at the invading beast tide on the sea, slowly opened its arms, and densely packed thousands of light patterns on the bronze shell lit up one after another, superimposing and resonating with each other.
Hum buzz!
Twelve light wheels of different sizes were constructed one after another on the bronze giant's arms, legs, head, neck, back, chest and other parts. Then, like the light-shaped ring mouth of the fort, they automatically adjusted towards the sea where the beast tide gathered. Focus.
“—The spirit is restrained and the divine power is charged!”
The mechanical sound echoed again, and the twelve light wheels emerging from the bronze giant's body were sucked in reverse.
Suddenly, the spirits in the earth's veins and the ether in the air condensed into a substantial tide of magic, which converged crazily toward the bronze giant like a river rushing into the sea.
In just a short moment, the lines under the bronze skin that looked like human blood vessels were filled with spiritual fluid condensed from magical factors.
The surging [Golden Blood of God] converged towards the chest cavity of the bronze giant as the heart, and under the joint regulation and focus of the twelve light wheels, it finally turned into an extremely bright light flow, stimulating Shoot out.
—Echo liquid cannon, annihilation begins!
In an instant, a colorful light band with a diameter of tens of meters tore through the thin night, traversed the vast sea, and opened a bottomless chasm.
After a full ten seconds, the divine torrent converged, and the crack in the sea seemed to be split open by a sharp sword. The fissure, which was a thousand meters deep, was filled up by the surging seawater.
“Crash!”
Amidst the roaring waves, the previously crowded and noisy sea suddenly became dull and quiet; the group of squirming sea beasts in the center no longer existed; the originally dark sea water was now smeared with a scarlet red tide.
“Hiss~~!”
In the dead silence, all the creatures who were shocked by the scene before them gasped.
With just one blow, tens of thousands of sea beasts gathered on the coast of Crete were wiped out. Such power is simply terrifying!
The only one who can do this easily is the gods!
Of course, they were not wrong in theory.
The one who achieved such results was a genuine [God-like].
After Lorne looked back at the coastal fortress, the majestic giant standing on the horizon suddenly emerged in his mind.
The bronze giant Talos, belongs to the Bronze Generation, is immortal and survives to this day.
His race is older than the many demigods and god-blooded heroes who established and ruled human city-states today.
Legend has it that these former bronze generations were bronze giants cast from bronze and stone by Hephaestus, the **** of fire and casting, under the orders of Zeus, in a similar way to the creation of Pandora.
The purpose of their creation was to fill the void left on the earth after the extinction of the original humans after the Great Flood, and to appease the anger of Gaia, the Mother Goddess of Earth.
Therefore, these bronze giants have a bronze skin and a human appearance. They also have blood vessels like humans. The blood vessels are connected from the neck to the knees or ankles. This blood vessel is also the source of energy for the activities of the bronze giants, and the divine power flows in it. Spiritual liquid.
However, due to the lack of wisdom and proficiency in fighting, the bronze giant indulged in destruction and fighting, and gradually posed a huge threat to the living creatures on the ground, causing the earth mother goddess Gaia to become increasingly dissatisfied.
Therefore, Zeus ended this attempt to re-create mankind and ordered the craftsman **** Hephaestus to destroy the bronze race that was gradually getting out of control.
In that catastrophe, the bronze giant Talos was a single exception because he had the blood of the Melia fairies integrated into his body and had good rationality. He became the only survivor of the catastrophe.
Later, thanks to the grace of the earth mother Gaia, the new humans represented by Deucalion and Pyrrha repopulated the earth.
Talos, who was alone, was taken to the Holy Mountain to serve the gods of Olympus.
Then, Zeus, who was obsessed with sowing, transformed into a white bull and abducted Europa to the island of Crete, where she was allowed to serve as the concubine of the gods on earth and multiply the blood of his own **** king.
Considering that his mortal lover was too weak, Zeus gave Europa three gifts.
That is, the bronze giant Talos, the golden hound, and a kettle of golden arrows that are sure to hit.
After some twists and turns, the goddess Europa gave the three to her and Zeus's son Minos, so that he could use them to defend his territory.
Since then, the bronze giant Talos has become a subordinate of King Minos and has been patrolling the island of Crete for him. He made great achievements in the early days.
As the Minoan civilization continued to grow, the bronze giant Talos gradually lost its usefulness and faded out of people's sight. He followed King Minos's order and slept underground to avoid harming innocent people.
Unexpectedly, it has been a hundred years.
Because of this natural disaster from the sea, the bronze giant Talos, who once existed as a guardian and war weapon, was once again awakened by King Minos and was able to see the light of day again on the island of Crete, showing that he had once been a creature of God. Terrifying destructive power.
monster! monster!
At this moment, the three siren sisters, who had escaped through vigilance, glanced at the large pieces of floating meat on the sea and the blood stains that turned into red tide, and looked at the bronze giant Talos standing behind the defense line on the coast of Crete from a distance. He could not help but murmur in fear.
“Aaaaaa!!”
Soon, the fear turned into anger, and the three siren sisters, who were aroused by this **** scene and were demonic and ferocious, sang in unison.
The swarm of sea beasts that were originally in chaos seemed to have been beaten into a state of madness and excitement. They swarmed towards Crete, trying to close the distance and destroy the terrifying war weapon.
At the same time, the rolling tide turned into a huge whirlpool, and countless flesh and blood floating on the sea were swallowed and absorbed by it.
“Crash!”
Charybdis, [Major Whirlpool] who has finished eating, uses the flesh and blood divinity absorbed to reconstruct a huge water phantom.
The seawater mixed with organs and minced meat covered her body, revealing a **** madness.
"die!"
Along with the unclear words, [Maelstrom] Charybdis raised his right hand, gathered the filthy red tide, gathered a scarlet trident in his palm, and threw it hard at the long-defeated island on Crete. coastal fortress.
Facing the menacing attack, Talos's eyes flashed red, and he quickly stepped across the coastal fortress, with two crossed bronze arms protecting the front.
"when!"
With the sharp jingling of gold and iron, the trident gathered by the sea water was firmly blocked by the bronze giant.
Although Talos is a mixed creation of bronze and stone and has a huge body, due to the peerless craftsmanship of the craftsman **** Hephaestus and the blood of the Melian fairies, Talos can also move extremely fast.
Theoretically, he can easily patrol around Crete three times a day, and the entire coastline of Crete exceeds 1,000 kilometers. "Roar!"
With one blow, Charybdis, carrying the waves and pushing into the coast, let out an angry roar, and the hideous face formed by countless stumps and broken arms looked even more ugly and terrifying.
"boom!"
Facing the ferocious sea monster, the emotionless bronze giant raised his fist unceremoniously and punched the face with countless floating corpses of sea beasts.
“Crash!”
As the [Great Whirlpool] Charybdis staggered back, a new wave of menacing tides suddenly collapsed and could no longer form an effective impact on the coast.
The remaining night has receded, and the morning sun has broken.
After a night of fierce fighting, the Minoans finally made it to dawn.
Looking at the bronze giant who defeated Charybdis in front of the coast with a punch, and King Minos standing majestically in front of the fortress, the surviving soldiers grabbed their weapons and beat their shields feverishly. Let out loud cheers.
“Μνωα (Minos)!”
“Μνωα (Minos)!”
“Μνωα (Minos)!”
Listening to the passionate shouts like a wave behind him, the old man felt as if he had returned to his youth when he rushed to the battlefield with a sword and shield in hand and fought with foreigners.
As the hot blood surged in his chest, awakening the fighting spirit accumulated in this old body, King Minos simply threw the golden scepter in his hand to his daughter, and snatched the bronze scepter from his eldest son's hand. He pointed his spear at the battlefield and shouted loudly.
“The beast tide has broken, set sail! Go to war!”
“Whoops—!”
Meanwhile, a sheltered spot on the backside of Crete.
Pieces of white sails gathered together and fluttered with the hunting sea breeze.
Then, dozens of huge galley warships sailed out from the two wings of Crete, like angry dragons entering the sea, churning up the turbulent waves, and pounced on the frontal battlefield where large numbers of sea beasts gathered.
The soldiers standing on the offshore fortress looked intently and saw burly figures wearing bronze armor, holding swords and shields in their hands, throwing spears from their backs, and long bows at their waists. They lined up neatly on the deck, exuding the spirit of The cold and murderous air.
When everyone saw clearly the double-sided ax and bull symbols on the flag, the cheers became louder and louder.
"The Divine Blood Guards! It's the Divine Blood Guards!"
The blood of gods flows in the human world. The purer it is, the more excellent warriors it can breed.
Therefore, the most elite troops in each city-state are often the Praetorian Guards composed of warriors with divine blood.
Even if one cannot tell how many generations of mixed blood they are, each one of them has the ability to compare with ordinary soldiers, and can almost equal one to ten.
Once they appear on the battlefield, it often means a change in the pattern of war.
At present, with the collapse of the beast tide and the arrival of dawn.
This divine-blooded Imperial Guard, which had been recuperating all night, rushed out from the air, undoubtedly stabbing two sharp knives into the heart of the enemy.
At this moment, King Minos couldn't help but feel excited as he looked at the invincible fleet he had built on the sea, showing its fangs, dividing and surrounding the gradually chaotic beast tide, and beginning to strangle them in an orderly manner.
“Okay! Let these beasts see who is the king of the offshore sea!”
And looking at the large two-masted warships that shuttled like dragons on the sea, quickly dividing the battlefield, and the hundreds of divine blood forbidden ships on the deck that were like two rows of sharp spears, constantly piercing the tide of beasts with ease. Guards, Lorne was secretly amazed.
Although all the plans were discussed and formulated by him and King Minos, he also learned about the bronze giant Talos as the key decisive factor and the divine-blooded guards who appeared in the finale. Got the relevant information.
However, seeing it once is worse than hearing it a hundred times.
Not only was the combat effectiveness of the bronze giant Talos surprising him, but the performance of King Minos's divine-blooded guards also far exceeded his expectations.
Fighting against the herds of beasts at sea, he was able to repeatedly penetrate the formations of these ocean natives by relying on cooperation. His combat prowess was not inferior to that of the Atlantean Guards he encountered before. It was simply incredible.
But thinking about it carefully, Lorne felt a little relieved.
In real history, the Minoan Dynasty made full use of Crete's superior geographical location, developed the shipbuilding industry, and established a powerful fleet, which was one of the earliest navies in the world.
With this invincible armada, the Minoans dominated the Aegean Sea and shocked Athens, making Crete a link between advanced countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and ultimately enabled the Minoan dynasty to compete with Egypt. , Syria, Babylon, Asia Minor and other regions to maintain trade exchanges, thus becoming a maritime hegemony.
During the most powerful period of the Minoans, that is, during the reign of King Minos, all the countries in the Aegean Sea surrendered to Minos one after another, and Athens also had to pay tribute to him.
Perhaps they were beaten badly, but many Mediterranean city-states secretly arranged the dark history of the Minoans.
The legend of the Minotaur probably arose during this period.
“Want to resist?! This is not Atlantis!”
The old man sneered, grabbed the bronze spear, took a war bow and the bag of golden arrows he got from his mother Europa, jumped up, flew out of the fortress, and went straight to the center of the battlefield where the sirens were trying to regain control of the beast tide to counterattack. Three sisters.
Finally reached the last move successfully.
So, General!
At the same time, Lorne, who was always breathing heavily on the city wall, looked at the expected situation. He pulled out his bronze sword with relief, stirred up the divine power in his body, followed King Minos, and headed towards the command center of the beast tide. The three siren sisters.
But for some reason, as he got closer to the battlefield, his heart beat harder.
It seems that there is still something that makes him uneasy...
Lorne's heart skipped a beat, he raised his hand and whispered to King Minos in front of him.
“Borrow!”
"borrow?"
King Minos paused for a moment, then followed the direction of Lorne's fingers, glanced at the long bow and golden arrows on his waist, laughed loudly, and threw them behind him without thinking.
“Haha, what can I borrow? I'll give it to you!”
Lorne took the long bow and the pot of golden arrows, and glanced at King Minos who couldn't wait to rush to the battlefield with twinkling eyes. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but finally closed his mouth.
On the sea, the figure behind quietly slowed down and gradually distanced itself from the former.
