Chapter 78 Don't give it away, we can win (8k daily updates completed)
On the vast sea, the waves belonging to beasts retreated, and the counterattack belonging to humans began.
Seeing the reversal of the situation, the three Siren sisters, who smelled danger from all around, did not care to appease the chaotic beast tide around them. They immediately stirred up the divinity and divine blood in their bodies, opened their mouths to the sky and let out a high-pitched song, calling for their own troops.
“Laaaa!!”
The siren banshees with human faces and bird bodies heard the order and immediately turned around desperately, gathering in the airspace around the three siren sisters to guard their monarch and the source of their bloodline.
“Enemy! Enemy!”
“Alert!”
"Protect!"
Accompanied by the chirping noise, the Siren banshees, who had locked their target from the air, flapped their wings one after another and moved in groups towards the dozens of Minoan warships that were interspersed in the center of the beast tide.
With the instigation of these divine blood dependents, strong winds blew up all around, and huge waves hit the bow of the ship.
However, the bows of each Minoan warship were uniformly carved out of oak and engraved with the head of the goddess with a blessing incantation. They exuded divine light and withstood the invasion of wind and waves, allowing the ships to move forward steadily.
In addition to the **** of wisdom, craftsmanship, and military affairs, Athena was also the legendary **** who first taught humans how to build ships, and therefore had the authority to protect sailors.
It's just that these goddess statues on Minoan warships are just dead creatures endowed with spirituality after all, and most of them have only experienced sea battles with other city-states.
Facing the extreme weather caused by a large group of siren banshees, the warships built by these mortals were gradually overwhelmed. The light of the goddess emblem was continuously compressed, and overwhelming muffled sounds were heard from the ship's decks one after another.
Gradually, the fleet's speed slowed down.
“Eat it!”
“Eat it!”
“Eat them!”
Seeing that the fleet was blocked and the divine power protecting the ship was on the verge of dissipating, the siren banshees in the sky immediately showed their ferocity and swooped down towards the ship in groups.
They showed their sharp hooks and claws, trying to tear the sails of the warships, break the wooden masts, and cut open the chests of the enemies on the deck.
“Prepare the five-hour ceremonial spell to cover the passage of the fleet!”
At the top of the fortress city, Princess Ariadne, who was awarded the golden scepter by King Minos before leaving, saw this situation and decisively took over the position of the great prince and took charge of the immediate command.
As one of the few core people who knew the plan, the chief priest who stayed on the island was responsible for emergency relief.
After all, although Crete is currently the top power in the Mediterranean, with more than a dozen demigods, large and small, their strength varies. The only ones who can truly be considered top-notch are King Minos, Lorne, and Little. Medusa, and Princess Ariadne, who serves as the chief priestess of the temple.
Coupled with the bronze giant Talos, who was reserved by King Minos, there are only five high-end combat forces on the coast defense line that can influence the situation of the battle. At full cost, there are only five.
Hence, as the war situation changes, each of them has his or her own tasks to undertake.
At this time, a group of priests and priests took advantage of the break to swallow the magic potion and gradually regained some energy. They followed the call of the chief priestess, propped up their bodies, raised their hands high, and recited the ancient chant. of praise.
Accompanied by the cantabile chants, they gathered into the air and turned into a golden stream of light. Princess Ariadne, standing in the center, raised her bird-wing scepter and waved her arms forward.
In an instant, hundreds of owls with brown wings appeared from the stream of light above the fortress. They flapped their wings and emitted a crisp chirp. They tore through the clouds in groups and swept towards the sea.
The turbulent wind blew from the island to the sea, instigating the fleet's high sails and increasing the ship's speed.
At the same time, these owls that were born from the light crossed the fleet, raised their sharp talons, opened their hard beaks, and pounced on the siren banshees blocking the way.
As a bird of prey, the owl is a symbol of wisdom and the sacred bird of the goddess Athena.
They serve near the light, guard the battlefield of night, and have the function of hunting filth and bringing victory.
Accompanied by the cold and clear chirping of birds and the painful and angry roar of women, golden and black feathers scattered in the sky, like petals lined with flowers to welcome the victors on the road to victory.
In front of him, the army of the three Siren sisters was intercepted, and the shipping route was clear. King Minos jumped onto the deck to join the Divine Blood Guards. He used the warship as a pedal to adjust his breathing, restore his magic power, and wait for the final battle.
At this time, hundreds of meters away, Lorne squinted his eyes as if feeling something at the surging undercurrent on the left side of the ship's bow.
There is something!
He immediately picked up his long bow, fully pulled the bow string, and shot a golden arrow that was ready to go.
“Buzz!”
With a faint thunder, a golden stream of light came instantly, exploding a golden-red blood flower under the water.
Immediately afterwards, a demigod-level Lamia with only half of its body surfaced, and was crushed into a pile of minced meat by the passing warship.
Suddenly, hundreds of Lamia gathered in the nearby waters saw the fate of the new leader, and screamed in fear, and the birds and beasts dispersed.
Is this all you can do?
Minos, who was standing at the bow of the ship, completed his breath adjustment before the battle, opened his golden eyes, and a cold sneer appeared on his old face. He held a bronze spear in his hand, raised his arms and shouted loudly.
“Give up the defense, move forward at full speed, and watch me kill them!”
The well-trained divine blood guards, upon hearing the king's order, did not hesitate to interrupt the supply of energy to the ship's defense spells, and instead fully activated the magic circle for acceleration.
For a time, dozens of warships with flashing lights were like lions burrowing into a herd of sheep, plowing through the chaotic tide of beasts, plowing paths mixed with blood and stumps, heading straight for the core where the three siren sisters were.
As he got closer and closer to the center of the beast tide, Lorne, who fell behind the fleet, could even see the frightened and twisted expressions on the faces of the three siren sisters.
Too aggressive!
Looking at King Minos on the bow who couldn't wait to fight the enemy, Lorne felt even more uneasy and subconsciously looked around at the situation on the entire battlefield.
At this time, in front of the beach of Crete, the bronze giant Talos was pressing down on Charybdis, the [Great Whirlpool], and gave him a heavy beating;
On the vast sea at the rear left, the little Medusa, a gorgon, was having a fierce fight with the six-headed and twelve-legged Scylla. With her excellent talent and the [Bronze Snake Armor] given by Athena, Firmly gaining the upper hand, it is slowly consuming the divinity and life of the deep sea monster;
At the head of the fortress, Princess Ariadne, who was responsible for the rear support, continued to chant a new round of ceremonial spells, constantly calling the name of Athena, and teamed up with the priests of the temple to weaken and suppress the three siren sisters. maritime divinity;
Not far away, the original body Lamia, whose heart was pierced, was hanging miserably on the wall...
Lorne turned his eyes and looked at the nearby God-Blooded Familia who were almost collapsed and unable to form an obstacle, as well as the chaotic beast tide nearby, and came to a clear conclusion in his mind.
Things are going very smoothly and everything is moving in a good direction.
but…
It seems that it was a little too smooth.
Lorne frowned deeply and quietly pulled back a distance again, thoughts racing in his brain.
Ask yourself, if he were Poseidon, he would always want to annex Crete.
Then, before breaking up, he will definitely carefully investigate the specific situation and combat strength level of the Minoans.
The more details, the better!
As the lord of Crete, King Minos had an old grudge with Poseidon, so he was undoubtedly the focus of attention.
Coupled with the ambiguous attitude of God King Zeus, what trump card King Minos has may not be a secret to Poseidon, who has been plotting for a long time.
At the moment, the only variables that can be considered variables are the two demigods who unexpectedly appeared, namely him and Little Medusa.
What if this interference item was eliminated from the battlefield?
Six top demigod sirens faced off against two demigods of similar caliber, King Minos and Princess Ariadne, as well as the godlike bronze giant Talos. Six versus three, it seems like I have the advantage.
But the problem is, Poseidon has been planning for so long, and it's not me who wants the advantage! But a sure win!
Furthermore, as the son of the God King Zeus and the Goddess Europa, and the future head of the three judges of Hades, King Minos plus the bronze giant Talos are no longer at a level that demigods can defeat completely.
Poseidon Temple wants to complete the battle in one battle, and it is not enough to rely on six top demigod sea monsters alone.
unless…
Lorne looked at the tide of beasts that even though they were defeated, still violated their survival instinct and did not swim back to the inland sea, a thunder exploded in his mind.
Suddenly, he realized some kind of decisive factor that Poseidon might use. His expression changed drastically, and he flew back. At the same time, he pulled off a bird feather accessory on his chest that could be used to communicate, and yelled a warning at the activated light pattern. .
“Get out quickly! God!”
“There may be gods joining the battle on the other side!”
At the same time, King Minos, who was standing at the bow of the ship, was shaken. He held down the resonant golden bird feather accessory on his chest and looked gloomily at the Siren, who was a hundred meters away and was exhausted of all his power. He was almost at the end of his rope. Three banshees.
The gods…maybe…
“Click!”
With the crisp sound of shattering, King Minos was heartbroken. He raised his hand and tore off the bird feather pendant on his chest. He then grasped the bronze spear and jumped up from the deck, as if he had discovered prey on the grassland. The old lion launched a sprint.
Looking at the bird feather pendant that cracked in his hand at the same time, and King Minos who was doing the opposite in front of him, holding a spear and speeding towards the Sirens and the Three Banshees alone, Lorne couldn't help but be stunned, and he was shocked.
But then, in a flash of lightning, he figured out the reason why King Minos did such a thing.
It's just possible…
If we let it go and lose this opportunity to allow the beast tide to breathe and regroup, there is no telling how many casualties and variables there will be on Crete.
And this time, King Minos has put all his cards on the line.
If you give up because of a slight possibility, then when the opponent is ready to try another game, his chances of winning will only become even slimmer.
Hundreds of years of patience made him no longer want to wait, and he couldn't afford to wait anymore.
What's more, to put it another step back, even if a **** really joins the battle, he must seize this hard-won opportunity.
Because, only by dealing with the three siren sisters who control the tide of beasts in advance and weakening the threat from the sea as much as possible, when the gods really come to an end, Crete may have a chance to resist.
Otherwise, with the five top demigods plus the fallen gods, Crete would have no chance of winning.
So, the arrow has to be fired when it is on the string.
This move, no matter how dangerous it is, he has no choice.
Perhaps this is the sadness of being a weak person...
Under Lorne's complicated gaze, King Minos jumped forward alone, activating the divine power in his body to the extreme, and his gray-white beard and hair were dyed golden by the stirring divine power.
—Athena, please grant me the power of victory!
With the silent prayer, King Minos was like a dazzling golden comet, carrying golden thunder all over the sky, and volleyed towards the three siren sisters in the center of the beast tide.
Facing the shadow of death hanging over their heads, the three siren banshees sitting cross-legged with pale faces wildly swung their fish tails, desperately raising their throats, and bursting out extremely high notes from their throats.
“Aaaaa!!”
For a time, the gold was shattered and the jade was shattered, and the earth was shocked.
The sea beasts and divine blood warriors within a few hundred meters nearby let out painful whines, and some of the weak ones even had their heads exploded, with red and white serous fluid spurting out.
Obviously, this has gone beyond the scope of singing, but is a method similar to converting sound waves into attacks.
For the Sirens who pursue music and art, this is undoubtedly a great betrayal and shame.
But at this moment, the three siren banshees have long since lost the intention to pursue the matter and the elegance and calmness they once had.
“Poof!”
King Minos, who was disturbed by the sound waves, became dizzy for a while. The spear with the thunder light deflected and pierced the humpback whale under the three sirens. Golden-red blood spurted out. .
“Plop!”
At the same time, with a crisp sound of falling into the water, the three siren sisters jumped neatly into the sea, then quickly swung their colorful fish tails and swam towards the deep seabed and further into the inland sea without turning their heads. Returned, directly abandoning the large troops stranded on the sea.
It was as if they were running away from some savage beast.
Without the bewitching singing voice of the Sirens, the sea beasts gathered around also exploded, trying to turn around and break through the obstruction of the Minos fleet and return to the inland sea where they originally lived.
But, it's too late!
A terrifying fetal movement came from his body. King Minos stiffly lowered his head and looked at his **** hands and the broken bronze spear from bottom to top.
"Roar…"
With the low roar of awakening from a long slumber, the hundred-mile sea filled with sea beasts and warships was instantly crushed and torn open, and an abyssal mouth covered with ring-shaped serrations emerged from the sea, frantically sucking in the ether in the air.
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
For a moment, streaks of light emerged from the slimy scales on the pavement, converging into fin-like haloes of light, lifting the overly huge monster from the deep sea.
A half-snake, half-fish deep-sea monster stretches for hundreds of miles, showing a ferocious outline.
At this moment, Minos looked at the [Humpback Whale] at his feet. His golden eyes looked at the pair of yellow-brown snake-like vertical pupils on the monster's head. A chill from his soul instantly spread throughout his body.
—The mother of all monsters, Ketuo.
—The unpredictable sea is the embodiment of danger brought to mankind, a symbol of unknown land and strange creatures.
What was released from the depths of the Oceanus Sea was not only a god, but also a genuine ancient demon!
"Roar!"
At this moment, aware of the commotion on the sea and the foreign object stepping on top of her head, the half-snake, half-fish mother of all monsters angrily vibrated the fins on both sides. A series of haloes appeared around her body and focused, and the surging magic tide moved crazily toward the center. They gather together to form ether vortices visible to the naked eye.
"run!"
Seeing this, Lorne rushed to one side without hesitation, turned around and picked up the little Medusa who was fighting with Scylla on the sea, and plunged into the water.
At almost the same time, hundreds of colorful light bands stretched across the sea.
Both ships, sea beasts, high walls, and buildings, they all melted into this bright and ferocious light.
