Chapter 296: Secret Game
Hermes looked at Atreus with satisfaction, threw a red cloth bag at Atreus's feet, and at the same time reached out and slapped the head of the war horse, which disappeared in an instant with the neighing of the war horse.
While everyone was still stunned, the horse ridden by Hermes let out an unusual neigh, and the sound spread out to shock all the beasts in the nearby mountains and forests.
The fur on his body became tougher, and even the sword was difficult to damage, and after a snort, he saw a red spark erupt.
Atreus was overwhelmed, opened the cloth bag and took out the king's holy sword, and in an instant, the dazzling light soared into the sky, as if a miracle had come.
This mountain forest was originally a place where the nobles of the royal city of Elis often hunted, but after a while, people appeared one after another, and witnessed the glorious image of Atreus holding the holy sword, the king of the world.
Suddenly, Atreus became famous, and legends of the gods descending on him spread throughout the kingdom of Elis, and religious shamans even compiled it into epic poems and recorded them in the classics.
"Father, I will go to Troy with the holy sword in hand and lead the coalition to victory in the just war. ”
King Pelops of Elise sat on the throne and looked at his only son, resolutely asking him to step into battle, with a complicated expression on his face.
Pelops, as the greatest king of Elis, has made countless achievements, but at this time he can't help but be swayed by human emotions.
"Atreus, your talents are praised even by the gods, and you will surely become the king of Elise in the future, even far beyond me. Pelops said seriously, and his words couldn't hide his father's love: "But now is not the time, you have not grown to the peak, the cruelty of the battlefield is far beyond imagination, until one day in the future, it is the time for you to set foot on the battlefield and make achievements." ”
Atreus said firmly: "Father, there is a reason why the gods have sent down miracles, I am the one chosen by the main god Hermes, and I am protected by the gods, even if the arrow is shot head-on, it will automatically deflect the direction, please agree to my request!"
Pelops hesitated, he looked at the holy sword stuck in Atreus's waist, the brilliance could not even be concealed by the scabbard, the person holding the holy sword must be an invincible king on the battlefield.
At this time, the chamberlains of the royal palace came in to report that the Orpheus Cult had come to the kingdom of Elis, with the will of the god of war, and asked to meet the king and Prince Atreus.
The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse gathered together, and Pelops couldn't sit still when he saw this scene, so he hurriedly stepped down from the throne to greet him, and Atreus followed him without being surprised.
Seeing Atreus's performance, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse showed satisfied expressions, and Kurtaz, who represented death, took the lead in saying: "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse follow the will of the God of War and come to assist Prince Atreus and go to Troy to establish immortal achievements. ”
Seeing this result, Pelops no longer hindered and passed on the edict, and the whole country immediately fell into a feverish cheer.
With the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse and the decree of King Elis, Atreus marched lightly towards Troy, where they would reach the most brutal and vast battlefield in Olympus in the shortest possible time.
After Hermes left the kingdom of Elis, he flew straight in the direction of the sea, and as the messenger of Olympus, he was so fast that even lightning could not catch up. In just three breaths, he was on the edge of the continent, and the blue horizon appeared in front of him.
Just as Hermes found the location of Serifos, suddenly a large mountain magically stopped in front of him, so high that it was impossible to climb, and it plunged into the clouds.
Seeing this, Hermes could only fly to the side, trying to bypass the sudden appearance of the mountain, but he did not expect that the width of the mountain was also boundless, and he flew for most of the day without seeing the edge.
Hermes knew that there was a trick in it, but he couldn't resist the pride in his heart, as the fastest main god of Olympus, he couldn't be stopped by a big mountain no matter what, and the only way to maintain his glory was to climb it.
Hermes's feet trampled in the air like flying, and the whole person turned into a wisp of wind, and flew faster than lightning, not so much flying as flickering, even the gods could only vaguely see a light flickering, and then disappeared within the scope of perception.
In the palace of the sun god, the messenger of the god king Zeus suddenly came, and the sun god Apollo took a closer look at the parchment in his hand, and then handed it back to the messenger, just replied simply: "I know." ”
After the messenger of the god king left, Apollo took out his bow of the god of the sun, hooked his fingers on the bowstring, and little by little pulled it into a full moon, an arrow burning with the fire of the god of the sun, ready to fire.
The bowstring flicked, and the Helios Arrow flew out in silence, and in the blink of an eye it traveled through the eternal time and space to a cloud in Olympus, where a tall goddess was trying to carry an incomparably great mountain of iron.
Suddenly, an armor-wrapped hand reached out from the side, accurately grasping the Helios Arrow in the palm of his hand.
In the palace of the sun god, Apollo raised his eyebrows, and immediately drew his bow and arrow into a full moon, and another arrow flew towards the target.
The second arrow was not surprisingly caught by the big hand, and Apollo was not to be outdone, and kept urging the divine power to shoot out one after another Sun God arrows.
In just a moment, the giant hand grabbed dozens of Sun God Arrows, and the surging fire aura condensed together, and a second sun seemed to appear in the sky.
Seeing this scene, the expression on Apollo's face gradually calmed down, and he put away his bow and arrows and sat back on the throne, apparently having given up on continuing to shoot arrows.
After a long time, a distant sigh came from the Sun God's palace.
At this time, Hermes had been flying for three days and three nights, but he had never reached the edge of the mountain. His sanity was overwhelmed by pride and spirit, and he did not realize that he was flying around the continent of Olympus, and in just three days, he had already flown three times.
Even if it were the other main gods, it would take at least a day to fly around Olympus, the Kingdom of the Most High God, and Hermes was more than 3 times faster than the other main gods.
Just three days later, the rough rock wall that had been blocking him had finally come to an end, and Hermes was overjoyed that his speed had broken through at this moment, and in an instant he had crossed the mountains and the endless sea appeared in front of him.
Above the clouds, Xu Renx gasped slightly, urging the heart of the mountain range with all his strength for three days and three nights, and his delicate face was full of tiredness.
Kratos didn't know where to come, and he fell from the sky step by step, and went to Xuzhenx's side to take her into his arms, his armor-covered hand gently caressing her silky hair.
Hermes soon went to the island where the kingdom of Serifos was located, and he did not want to see Perseus because of his old grudge, so he summoned a vulture, hung a white cloth bag on the vulture's ankle, and directed it to fly in the direction of the palace, and then immediately turned and disappeared.
At this time, in the royal palace of Serifos, a sturdy and handsome young man, naked and surrounded by ten well-trained palace guards, holding sharp swords in his hands, the solemn atmosphere was like a fierce battlefield.
One of the guards was so nervous that his toes moved forward a finger's width wide. This subtle movement instantly broke the solemn scene, and the machete in the handsome young man's hand flashed with a fierce cold light, but it still couldn't hide the violence in his eyes.
With a terrible scream, a huge head rose into the sky, and the reckless guard lost his head and life in an instant, and the body stood tense in place because of the tension before death, and let out abnormal convulsions.
"Kill!"
The remaining nine guards shouted to hide their horror, and they did not hesitate to stretch out their butcher knives towards the loyal prince, because they knew that if they did not try their best, they would die instantly.
A strange sinister smile appeared on the young man's handsome face, and he stretched out his slender hand and lightly touched the oncoming sword, which shattered into countless pieces with a crisp hum.
The fist collided with the flesh, and a huge adult strong man was knocked out, his chest was sunken, and the mouth and nose spurted out of the dirty blood mixed with fragments of organs, obviously unable to survive.
The handsome boy did not look like a human being at all, as if he was a demon who had risen from hell and brutally slaughtered the weak and powerless human beings.
However, in the blink of an eye, all 10 well-trained palace guards were killed, and the death was miserable without a single intact corpse.
The handsome young man was covered in blood at this time, and he closed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth at a satisfactory angle, as if he was enjoying the pleasure after the slaughter.
At this time, there was a vulture chirping in the sky, and the handsome young man opened his eyes, picked up the bow and arrow on the weapon rack on the side, and with the sound of the bowstring tightening, he saw a black shadow flash, and the vulture suddenly let out a sad cry and fell.
Due to the influence of inertia, the body of the vulture fell directly at the feet of the handsome young man, and looking at the cloth bag containing the small round shield of the holy weapon, the young man let out a contemptuous laugh.
"Hmph, I actually gave a useless holy weapon, do you think that by doing this, I, Perseus, will be like a stupid mortal, prostrate on the ground with gratitude, praising your glory!"
The handsome young Perseus roared unscrupulously into the sky, and the sound was blown far away by the sea breeze, so that even the fishermen at sea could hear it.
