Chapter 563: Rescue
The Kingdom of Coronay: Mountains and Forests
It is normal for the forest to be full of vegetation and wild animals, and it is uninhabited all year round.
At this time, a phantom slowly descended and landed on a large tree branch, and if you look closely, the phantom is wearing a black robe and a veil on her face, and she is a mysterious lady who has dealt with Pei Ziyun several times.
At this time, under the big tree, there is a rhinoceros, but this rhinoceros is different from ordinary rhinoceros, the body is twice the size of ordinary rhinoceros, and its skin is thick and hard, the most important thing is that it is a monster that everyone hears and changes, its eyes and breath can kill people, and it lives by eating poisonous shrubs all year round.
The mysterious lady stared at it for a long time, muttering to herself, "It's not good, but in order to avoid the detection of the wary gods, I chose you." ”
The more powerful the monsters, the more they are registered with the gods, and the strongest of them are the monsters with Titan bloodlines - especially the Titan series.
It can be said that in the Greek world, although monsters such as lizards, bullheads, centaurs, cerberus, griffins, and banshees have their own terrifying features, only giants are the real threat, because they are actually degraded titans.
And the gods of Olympus are actually descendants of the Titans.
Prince Paris or any hero kills those monsters and sacrifices them, and the gods will gladly accept them and grant grace.
However, if the Cyclops were killed, the gods would not only not accept the sacrifice in good faith, but would immediately add the hero to the death list.
Because he can kill giants, he has already crossed the critical point between gods and men.
After the mysterious lady finished speaking, she took out a drop of blood, spun it in the air, and pointed at the monster rhinoceros, and the swirling blood shot towards the monster rhinoceros and sank into its body.
This drop of blood seemed to have a huge magical power, and it was submerged in the body of the monster rhinoceros, and the rhinoceros's body swelled in a circle, and its eyes instantly turned blood-red.
It let out a loud roar that shook the mountains and forests, and the beasts around it trembled and fled, as if they were terrified of the monster rhinoceros.
The mysterious lady nodded, very satisfied, she waved her hand: "Go, go and wreak havoc on the kingdom of Coronai with the Greeks, kill herders and farmers at will, destroy farmland, and then be killed by the heroic Prince Paris and become part of a new destiny." ”
The monster rhinoceros seemed to understand her words and ran out of the forest.
The phantom stood tall in a tree until the rhinoceros disappeared into the distant woods.
Koronai Kingdom Port
A fleet of Greeks was approaching from the sea, and a hero looked at the shore and said, "Arrived?"
"Yes, Venerable Perryface, we have arrived in the kingdom of Coronay. A centurion looked at it and said.
"Prepare to land, then occupy the city of Metola, turn the prince into a slave, and the queen into our slave girl, plunder the gold in the city, and slash the people inside at will. ”
Hearing this, all the soldiers shouted and cheered.
The fleet was led by the bravest of the Aetolians, Perryfas, and since Philoctetes shot Kuknos, Agamemnon sent it to the kingdom of Coronay to take revenge and plunder food and gold for supplies.
The fleet slowly docked in the harbor, and on it walked down groups of Greek soldiers, not too many in number, but all of them were elite soldiers of the Greeks.
Chariots were also transported off the ship under the tuk of war horses.
The Greeks were not prepared to set up camp, in their opinion, Kuknos was dead, the prince of the god of the sea was still young, and the kingdom of Coronai was a weak lamb, and it would be easy to attack it.
Everyone brought only one day's rations, and all the supplies were left on the ships, which shows how contemptuous the Greeks led by Perry Face were for the kingdom of Corone.
The procession lined up on the beach, led by a centurion, towards the city of Metola.
They followed behind the chariot, and at the front was Perryface, who rode on the chariot and watched the movement in front of him from time to time.
The city of Mertora had received the news of the landing of the Greeks, and at this moment the alarm bell rang in the city, and the warriors stood up and closed the gates urgently.
Bands of Coronai warriors climbed the walls with their weapons, and the archers stood by them.
"But we're missing heroes!"
The queen of the kingdom of Coronay and the young prince were praying at the temple of Poseidon at this moment, when she knelt down in front of the idol of Poseidon and said, "O great Poseidon, my husband's father, please have mercy on our mother and son, for I have received the bad news of my husband's death and the news that the monsters have attacked the village, and then the Greeks are attacking. ”
"My husband Kukonos has taken away half of the soldiers of the kingdom, and although the walls of Metola can still be maintained, there are no heroes, how can they resist the attack of the Greeks?"
The role of heroes in this era is not something that soldiers can make up for, in the last battle of Troy, Hercules only brought six ships, according to the largest number of ships at the time, one hundred and twenty soldiers per ship, and only seven hundred, but there are several heroes of the famous Greek heroes Peleus, Telamon and Oleus, who can break Troy in one fell swoop.
Therefore, the city of Metola, which lacked heroes, was in chaos, and the ordinary people were terrified when they heard that the powerful Greeks were coming, as if the end was coming, but because of the small size of the city, it was quickly suppressed by the soldiers of Corone.
"What can I do to resist the invasion of the Greeks?" cried the queen.
Mount Olympus, Poseidon watched sympathetically, responding to it all with the slight vibration of the temple.
The queen felt the vibration of the temple and was pleasantly surprised, knowing that the great Poseidon had not abandoned herself, so that the kingdom of Coronay would still survive in the face of the mighty Greeks.
Then the priest of the temple came in and said, "O queen, I feel that the salvation of the city-state is rapidly approaching. ”
The queen knew that the priest was conveying Poseidon's will, and her face showed surprise.
She took the young prince by her and hurried out of Poseidon's temple to the gates, where she wanted to tell the soldiers who were guarding the city the great news.
Outside the city of Metola, Greek soldiers led by Perry Fasus were already in the city.
Rows of Greek soldiers lined up in neat formations, chariots lined up, and Perry Fas looked at the walls of the city of Metola, with confidence in his heart, and said: "Greek warriors, the sins of Kuknos against us Greeks are going to be brought back to his kingdom today, so that everyone can see the fate of violating us." ”
"Kill. Poliface pointed forward with his sword, and the Greek soldier slowly approached the city of Metola with siege engines.
In the face of the mighty and majestic Greek soldiers, the hands of the soldiers of the Coronai Kingdom trembled slightly.
In this era, everyone really heard too much about the strength of the Greeks, and even went straight to the hearts of the people, and the elite soldiers had been taken to Troy by Kuknos, and the soldiers who remained were relatively weak.
"Shoot!" the archers in the city of Metola watched nervously as the Greeks approached, and a centurion ordered, and immediately fired a wave.
"Dangdang. "There was a series of gold and iron clashes, and the arrows were basically blocked by the shields of the Greeks, and occasionally a few arrows missed through, causing casualties.
The siege ladder was quickly raised, this was not a ladder, it was a primitive ladder, but the walls of the city of Metola were completely sufficient, and the Greeks kept pouring up.
"Resist, resist. The centurion shouted, and a wave of blood collided with each other, sparks from the swords and spears of the warriors on both sides.
Blood splattered, figures kept falling and crashing, and the situation was tragic.
"With a spear!" Although the heroes were very different from ordinary people, the soldiers still engaged in a desperate fight, and the spears were two feet long, and they stabbed the Greeks into meat skewers.
Within a moment, the city was filled with the corpses of our warriors, and at that moment, Poliface himself pounced on it and climbed upward.
"All to death!" Poliface, his eyes red, first shielded against the cold arrows, then thrashed his spear upwards.
"Ahh
Immediately there were Greek soldiers with new spears.
Every time the spear was thrown, a large splash of blood flew away, and in just a moment, there was an open space above, and Poliface quickly climbed upward.
The Greeks were also infected with heroic and fiery fighting spirit, and everyone was enthusiastic, fighting on the front line, unstoppable.
In a matter of moments, Poliface climbed the wall, shouted loudly, swept with his spear, and several of the Coronai soldiers spurted blood from their mouths and fell into the city.
"Open the gates. Poliface threw himself at the gates, screaming and screaming.
"Boom. With a loud bang, the gates of the city of Mertora opened, and at this time, the fate of the kingdom of Coronai seemed to be sealed, and the queen who watched the battle turned pale and hugged her young son tightly, while the surrounding Coronai warriors had been reduced to less than a hundred, and everyone was scarred.
"Kill them all, and take the queen as a slave girl. Poliface shouted.
"Contemptible Greek, you are delusional. Suddenly, there was a commotion behind him, and a low, angry voice sounded behind him, and the coldness pierced Perryface's hair, and before he could turn around, a spear flew straight into the back of the heart.
As soon as Poliface dodged, the spear fell heavily and was driven into the stone half a foot, and when he turned around, he saw the Trojan soldiers rushing in, and one of them was a young man, and seeing this young man made the muscles on Polifas's face twitch: "Paris!"
I only heard Prince Paris shouting: "Greeks, report your name, with me, I cannot allow you to sack the city of Metola and harm the wife and son of my friend Kuknos." ”
Pei Ziyun said this, secretly glad in his heart that he came just in time.
In this era, especially in the Greek world, every city-state was not large, and the kingdom of Coronai was no different.
Pei Ziyun landed at the port after a long journey, and saw the billowing smoke of the city of Metora in the distance, and knew that there could be no delay, so he gave up carrying the chariot and baggage, and immediately led the soldiers to the city of Metora.
The distance from the port to the city of Metora is not too far, Pei Ziyun led the army to rush to the outside of the city of Metora in less than a while, and as soon as he arrived, he saw the Greeks breaking through the city gate.
Pei Ziyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if he was ten minutes late, it would be difficult for him to fulfill his promise to protect Kukonos's wife and son.
Poliface gritted his teeth, this is the hated Prince Paris, he drew his spear, and said in a loud voice: "I am the bravest Aetolian Poliphas, Paris, you are the scourge of war, I must kill you today and avenge all the bloody Greeks." ”
