Chapter 303: Fighting for the Commander-in-Chief
Hector turned abruptly at this time and took the initiative to fight the enemy. The mighty warrior, though his flesh and skin were stronger than gold and iron, was downhanded with his bare hands, and after a few fights, Hector seized the opportunity to quickly turn around and retreat towards the Trojan city.
It was indeed a retreat, and although Hector had the opportunity to defeat the warrior, he would eventually fall into the encirclement of Atreus's army, so he decided to retreat immediately.
The warrior still wanted to pursue, but he also knew that he could not leave the hero Hector, who was known as the iron wall of Troy, unarmed, and could only look at the back that gradually disappeared from sight, and let out an unwilling roar.
Atreus was also unwilling to be mixed with shame, he looked at the warrior with displeasure, and said in a cold tone: "Why did you throw the war spear in one move just now. ”
The series of changes just now were all between lightning and flint, but in retrospect, as long as you are an experienced fighter, you can see the abnormality.
A warrior should not throw his weapon lightly under any circumstances, and coupled with the situation where Hector was intercepted from front to back just now, it is obvious that the warrior has made the mistake of rushing for quick success.
When the warrior heard this, his eyes immediately turned furious, and his terrifying momentum surged out, and he roared loudly: "Who are you, you dare to spoil the good deeds of Uncle Achilles!"
"What, you are Achilles?" Atreus was also surprised when he heard the name of the warrior, he did not expect that standing in front of him was Achilles, the famous hero of the coalition army.
The Battle of Troy has been going on for several years, during which time several powerful men have emerged and have been compiled into epic poems to be recited in Olympus.
Each of the heroes of the coalition of countries is famous, they include the invincible Achilles, the resourceful Odysseus, and the brave and invincible Ajax.
On the Trojan side, there is only one hero, Hector, so he also has the title of Trojan Iron Wall.
Atreus had also heard of Achilles' name, but his pride and pride made him reluctant to submit to human heroes, because his ambition was to become the king of mankind, even if it was a human hero, under his command.
"I am the only heir of Elis, the commander of the coalition chosen by the gods, Atreus the Medusa in his hand!"
Achilles listened to Atreus's introduction, and a contemptuous smile appeared on his face, but when he heard about the merit of killing Medusa, he finally stopped, and couldn't help but say, "Huh, you killed Medusa?"
Atreus raised his head and proudly admitted, "Yes, Medusa's head hangs from my waist, which is undoubtedly a great feat. ”
Achilles' face was cloudy when he heard this, and he naturally knew that Atreus was not lying, and the notorious Medusa was killed by Atreus, and even his head was cut off.
"Hmph, we'll see. ”
Achilles snorted coldly, pulled up the war spear that was almost rooted into the ground, and walked directly in the direction of the coalition barracks, without paying any attention to Atreus.
Atreus was also furious, but he knew that he was no match for any human hero, and he could only suppress his anger in his stomach.
The arrival of Atreus had an unexpected result, except for the army belonging to the Kingdom of Elis, the other coalition forces did not come out to greet them, and even the officers of various countries showed undisguised contempt.
Atreus's prestige is limited to the territory of the Kingdom of Elis, and his exploits along the way have not yet been spread at this time, and these elite warriors who have never died in a hundred battles will naturally not take a hairy child who has no record in their eyes.
Atreus can't wait to become the Commander-in-Chief of the Coalition in order to end this war and establish immortal feats. So in the name of the commander of the army of Elis, he issued an order to assemble in the coalition army.
The commanders and officers of the coalition army gathered in the central tent, and when they saw Atreus sitting at the top, they immediately showed surprise, and then they were replaced by anger, and some of the short-tempered officers roared directly.
"Who are you, you dare to sit in the position of commander!"
Sonorous!
Atreus sat still, but drew the holy sword in his hand, and the dazzling light of a king sprinkled all over every corner of the tent.
Seeing the brilliance of the holy sword, the commanders and officers changed color, they naturally knew the meaning of the holy sword, which was a symbol of the status of the commander of the coalition forces chosen by the gods, and those who held the holy sword would receive the power given by the gods to command the thousands of troops here.
At this time, the man who was sitting in the most prominent position, with a delicate face but wearing armor as a commander, suddenly spoke: "I have heard the name of Prince Atreus, the hundredth son of Pelops, and the only heir to the kingdom of Elis. ”
Although the identity was not introduced, the identity of this commander has been revealed, and he is one of the three heroes of the coalition army, Odysseus, who is known as the brain of the coalition army.
Atreus politely made a gesture of respect before he spoke, "As you don't know, the infamous Medusa has also been stabbed by me, and her head has become a monument to my exploits!"
Bang dang...... The head wrapped in coarse cloth slammed on the table, and everyone looked shocked when they saw the head, and then looked at Atreus with a noticeable change in their eyes.
Atreus watched the changes in everyone's expressions, and at that moment he suddenly stood up, slamming the stool to the ground with too much force.
I heard Atreus's voice echoing in the military tent: "I am the commander of the coalition chosen by the gods, before I came to Troy, the name has begun to circulate in Olympus, even Medusa died under my sword, and now only the fruits of victory in this war are qualified to be my immortal merits!"
Atreus's momentum was evident at this moment, as if it was because he had been infected with Medusa's blood, and his whole body exuded a strange aura that could even make people feel a little frightened when his mood fluctuated.
At this moment, the curtain of the military tent was rudely lifted, and Achilles was seen striding forward, and the horizontal sword immediately sat in the most conspicuous position.
Achilles didn't even look at the others, and said directly to the warrior beside him: "I don't agree, it's just a weak and powerless child, how can he become the commander of the coalition army, Great Ajax, are you willing to let this waste override your head?"
This rugged-faced, imposing warrior is one of the most heroic heroes of the coalition, the Great Ajax, known as the brave lion.
If Odysseus is the brain of the coalition and Achilles is the spear of the coalition, then the great Ajax is the courage of the coalition.
Once the Great Ajax is on the battlefield, no matter what kind of fierce battle, the soldiers will not have a trace of fear, and will rush to fight the enemy without fear of death.
Hearing Achilles' rude words, the four horsemen of the Apocalypse who were around Atreus roared angrily at the same time, and the leader Mognir directly picked up his weapon and pounced directly on Achilles.
At such times all words are vain, and only true strength can make the people obedient.
Achilles sneered on his face. Without dodging or dodging, Mognir's long sword slashed at his shoulder, only to see sparks splash everywhere, and a piercing sound of metal clashing, as if the sword was not slashing flesh and blood, but the hardest metal in the world.
Achilles suddenly punched out, Mognir was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly raised his round shield to resist, only to hear a loud bang, and Mognir's whole person flew out upside down.
Bang dang...... If it weren't for the three other Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse joining forces to catch Mognir at the same time, I'm afraid that the entire military tent would have been knocked over, and the table in front of Rao Atreus would have been smashed to pieces.
A blinding light suddenly flickered, and Atreus was seen jumping out, and the holy sword was unsheathed and slashed towards Achilles.
Although Atreus was extremely angry, he did not lose his senses, and the sharp edge of the holy sword was not aimed at the vital point, but slashed diagonally at Achilles' chest.
Achilles remained undodged, and when the light of the sword fell, he heard the unpleasant sound of metal twisting that made his teeth ache.
Achilles' clothes were torn entirely, and a hideous wound appeared on his bare chest, and the flesh was turned open without a drop of blood.
Achilles was also stunned, although this was not a serious injury, but it was also the first time that his immortal god body had been damaged, and it was left behind by a child he looked down on.
"How dare you hurt my body!"
Achilles roared angrily, and the whole person stood up suddenly, and just as he was about to pounce and tear Atreus to pieces, he suddenly felt a dizziness in front of him, and his feet were so weak that he couldn't stand for a while.
The feeling came and went quickly, and when he regained his footing, the weakness disappeared without a trace.
Achilles was shocked, he thought it was the after-effects of his immortal god body being broken. After sealing all his divine power and becoming a mortal, the immortal god body is his only reliance, and if this body is flawed due to injuries, it will be a real disaster.
Achilles also lost the desire to fight at this time, he stared at Atreus fiercely, turned around and walked out of the tent, leaving only a group of stunned coalition commanders.
Odysseus gave Mognier a funny look, but said nothing. If there was anyone present besides the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and Atreus who had seen through the transformation just now, it was only the brain of this coalition army.
Mognir's action was not a move after his reason was overwhelmed by anger, his sword just now seemed to have no effect, but it secretly smashed the power of the plague into Achilles' body.
With Atreus's sword that broke through the defenses, the plague broke out in an instant, which was equivalent to the last straw that broke the camel's back, and Achilles, who cherished his feathers, could only hold back his anger and retreat.
Without Achilles' obstruction, and after seeing the power of Atreus, all the commanders and officers present did not express any objection, and just when the commander of the coalition army was about to fall, the curtain of the military tent was lifted again.
A handsome and extraordinarily handsome young man who exuded the spirit of a king strode in, with a faint chuckle on his face, and between the flow of his eyes, everyone present couldn't help but have a desire to surrender from the bottom of their hearts.
Perseus walked to the center of the tent, looked at Atreus and said, "Now, hand over the holy sword that originally belonged to me." ”
Everyone present was in an uproar, the holy sword was given by the gods, and it contained the irresistible will of the gods, what kind of person was this young man who suddenly appeared, and he dared to say such a ridiculous nonsense.
When Atreus saw this handsome young man, he had a thought in his heart for no reason, this person in front of him was his worst enemy, and would become an obstacle to his immortal achievements.
At this time Odysseus spoke: "Who are you, I see in you the nobility that does not belong to mortals. ”
The young man glanced at Odysseus arrogantly, and even the human hero was not taken seriously by him.
"I am the son of Zeus, the god-king, and the heir of the kingdom of Serifos on earth, Perseus!"
There was silence in the military tent, and even the faces of the two human heroes were stunned at this time, they never expected that this handsome young man would actually claim to be the son of the god king Zeus.
As soon as Perseus's words fell, three thunderclaps suddenly sounded in the sky, and when the thunder ended, the indignation in the hearts of everyone gave rise to a kind of realization, which was a miracle from the god-king Zeus, showing that Perseus was not lying.
Zeus, the god-king, ruled over the heavenly gods, and his authority represented the will of the gods. As the son of the god king Zeus, the significance of Perseus's coming here is obvious, he is a demigod and half-human, and he will become the commander of the coalition army and lead the coalition army to victory in this just war.
For a moment the tent fell silent, and the commanders and officers looked at each other, and they did not know how to make a choice, if Atreus did not have the holy sword in his hand, then the position of commander undoubtedly belonged to Perseus.
In the temple of gods, the main gods sit on their respective thrones, and the gods below the seats lower their eyes quietly wait for the judgment of the main god.
I only heard the sun god Apollo speak: "As the son of the gods, Perseus should be the commander of the coalition and lead the end of this war. ”
Kratos, the god of war, immediately spoke, his voice always unchanged indifference: "The holy sword is the symbol of the divine power of the king, and Atreus who holds the holy sword is the commander of the coalition army." ”
The gods on the field were silent, and finally their eyes fell on the god king Zeus, and at this time only the king of the gods could make the final decision.
Zeus, the god-king, was silent for a long time before finally stating his verdict: "Three days later, the coalition will have a separate duel with Troy, and the one with the most outstanding record will become the commander of the coalition." ”
The gods nodded silently in agreement, and even the other main gods did not express doubt. It didn't take long for the rainbow goddess Elise to build a rainbow bridge and descend to the world, transmitting the will of the gods to Troy and the coalition forces.
An inconspicuous attendant entered Atreus's tent, and it wasn't long before he saw Atreus walk out with him, heading towards a forest at the back of the barracks.
The gods had a common agreement that the power of the gods should not appear in this war, so whether it was Troy or the gods of the coalition, they remained at the rear.
The former beast god was promoted to become a great god of war, but the expeditionary force that stayed in Troy did not leave, but was stationed in a remote mountain forest in an extremely low-key manner, carrying out harsh drills every day, but never stepping on the battlefield.
Guided by his attendants, Atreus stepped into a wooden chamber in which two imposing men were seated.
One of the men in bright silver armor was the first to speak, "I am Luca, the head of the Knights of the Cathars, Your Majesty the Great God of War. ”
Hearing that the other party was a descendant of the god of war, Atreus didn't dare to hold it up, and immediately bowed his head to show his most sincere respect.
Atreus raised his head, and in a trance seemed to see a complicated look flickering in the other party's eyes, but when he tried to look closely, he found nothing, as if what he had just seen was just an illusion.
At this time, another strong man also spoke: "I am Hercules, the god of Hercules under the throne of the god of war. ”
After Kratos was promoted to the main god, he already had the power to bestow gods. At this time, the gods under his seat included Hercules, the goddess of nature, the goddess of nature, the god of violence, Gunter, and the god of beasts to Lyctans.
Even Kratos overstepped his authority and bestowed Charon, the god of the river Styx, Helen, the goddess of the night, and Doris, the god of sea patrols. Strangely, neither Hades, nor Poseidon, the king of the sea, ever objected to the violation of their power.
At this time, both the god of war and the gods under the throne of the god of war have been recorded in the epic classics of mankind and have been widely circulated by mortals.
The name of Hercules is the equivalent of a great being that is high up and unattainable among mortals.
Atreus looked at Hercules and couldn't help but have an incredible feeling, he didn't expect that the legendary Hercules would actually appear in front of him in such a mortal posture.
Looking at Atreus's expression, Hercules immediately saw through his thoughts, so he said: "You are the chosen person of His Majesty the Great God of War, and you will lead the end of this war. As the deity under the throne of the god of war, I will assist you in establishing immortal feats. ”
Atreus was overjoyed to hear this, with this powerful god by his side, he was the first to be invincible in this war, and in the next duel, Atreus also desperately needed a strong man who could fight against human heroes.
At this time, Hercules also revealed the true identity of Achilles, the righteous son of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war, one of the gods of the heavens, who sealed the divine power and became mortal, trying to influence the direction of this war.
