Chapter 302: Landing on the battlefield

As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion.

The confident sneak attack was spotted and entangled in a difficult fight, and the splendor of the sword and Atreus's sharp words were finally crushed.

Bang dang...... I don't know who took the lead first, the sound of weapons falling to the ground kept ringing, and a soldier named Troy was captured, and this sudden sneak attack ended with unexpected results.

Atreus kept his promise and did not slaughter any of the soldiers who surrendered, and had the Coalition soldiers divide half of the food they had with them so that they would not suffer from hunger and cold.

This move touched the hearts of the surrendered soldiers, and some of the soldiers who were desperate to end the war and return to peace even took the initiative to find Atreus, willing to sacrifice their lives to the righteous king.

At the beginning, there were only a few hundred, but on the third day there were thousands, and in the end, almost all of the surrendered troops of nearly 10,000 people became the power of Atreus, and even those who insisted on not surrendering were released by Atreus mercifully on the spot.

After this battle, Atreus had an idea in his mind, and he ordered his soldiers to draw a large number of flags, which were painted with war spears and olive branches, symbolizing war and peace.

A large number of soldiers scattered to all corners of Troy with these banners, and spoke of Atreus's will to all the local forces that came across.

Atreus's fame gradually spread, and Trojans who longed for peace and justice came to his command. Even die-hard loyalists would not easily kill his emissaries because of Atreus's name.

By the halfway point, Atreus's army had reached a full 50,000 men, which was a drop in the bucket of the million-strong army under Troy, but it was truly his own strength.

On the advice of a man of insight, Atreus led his army to the coast, where he would obtain ships and bring an army of fifty thousand men to the royal city of Troy by a more convenient and swift voyage than on foot.

Backed by the Aegean Sea, Troy was the richest coastal kingdom in Asia Minor, rich in fine salt and abundant seafood pearls coveted by landlocked countries.

There were at least a dozen large and small ports built along the coastline, countless merchant ships came here every day from the other end of the Aegean Sea, and the royal family of Troy amassed unimaginable wealth.

As the Battle of Troy progressed, the coastal ports were closed one after another, and only one of the original dozen or so ports remained, barely supported by the joint protection of several great nobles of Troy.

Other ports were abandoned, but ships remained, and some of the shipbuilders and sailors who had lived on ships for generations remained in the villages near the port.

Holding high the banner of war and peace, Atreus used scouts to clear the way, and every village he encountered, he would first have his attendants deliver an olive branch.

Under the oppression of the army and the gentle tactics of Atreus, the villages would guide the way forward, even if they did not cooperate, and finally after a few days, Atreus came to a port.

Looking up, you can vaguely see that in the rippling harbor, there are several large ships quietly docked.

It used to be prosperous, bustling with traders and boats, but now it is only so depressed.

Atreus's arrival was greeted unexpectedly, and the garrison officers of the harbor with a retinue of men loudly praised Atreus's good name and asked for their prosperity to be restored.

Looking at the garrison officers and the fat businessmen, Atreus suddenly realized in his heart, and he couldn't help but sneer, this kind of aristocracy in a high position and enjoying glory and wealth, not only did not protect his own people, but welcomed the invading imperial army with flowers and hymns, which was simply the greatest insult to the honor of a country.

Atreus wanted to attack, but Mognir, who was watching from the sidelines, stopped him without a trace, and whispered: "Your Royal Highness, you have a more important mission, and only if you end this war, they will be punished as they deserve." ”

Atreus finally accepted Mognir's audience, and with his troops boarded several large ships prepared by the harbor guard, and began to march towards the location of the Trojan city.

The sea marched at least three times as fast as on land, and in a matter of days they were able to see the outline of the Trojan city.

The ship has an experienced crew and forecasts that the weather will be cloudless and sunny in the future, and the fleet will reach the shore in the shortest possible time.

In the temple of the heavens above, the god-king Zeus exchanged for the rainbow goddess Elise, handed the sword of the god of thunder in his hand to her, and said: "When you go to that place, and when you see a fleet full of soldiers passing by, you will raise dark clouds and rain down thunder. ”

Not far from the Sky Temple, the rainbow goddess Elise met Horai, the goddess of the seasons, who was a deity who served the god Hera, and had a high status in the temple of the gods, and often walked between Hera's back garden and the sky temple.

Seeing the goddess of the seasons, the rainbow goddess Elise silently hid the Thor sword in her hand in her sleeve, but she was still seen by the sharp-eyed goddess of the season.

The two sides looked at each other, and the goddess of the seasons, Holai, greeted, "Elise, where are you going in a hurry?"

The rainbow goddess Elise had something to hide in her heart, so her expression was not very natural, and she just replied casually: "His Majesty Zeus, the god king, asked me to go to the world to lower the rainbow bridge and perform miracles to win people's hearts, if there is nothing to do, I will go first." After saying that, he left in a hurry without looking back.

Holai, the goddess of the seasons, watched the rainbow goddess Elise disappear from sight before turning and flying towards Hera's back garden, where she stepped into the gate of the majestic shore and walked to a beautiful fountain and respectfully saluted the two main gods present.

The goddess of the seasons, Holai, wanted to step forward and whisper, but was stopped by Hera, the queen of the gods, so she heard her say: "There is no need to hide the god of war here, you just say it." ”

When Horai, the goddess of the seasons, heard this, she nodded slightly to Kratos, who was sitting next to Hera, the queen of the gods, in respect, and then said everything she saw.

After hearing this, Hera, the queen of the gods, looked at Kratos and said, "There is no place to move above the sea, and even if Atreus can get away with saving his life, he will lose all his soldiers." There is no point in losing the commander of the soldiers on the battlefield. ”

Kratos couldn't see his expression clearly, so he said succinctly, "That's it." ”

After saying this, he summoned Heinrich, who was serving on his left and right, and gave him the sword of Olympus, and instructed him to stick it in the mast of Atreus's ship.

The rainbow bridge of the rainbow goddess Elise could easily go to any corner of Olympus, and in order to allow Heinrich to arrive before the thunder fell, the queen Hera also let Heinrich ride her mount, a gifted monster parrot.

Holding the sword of Olympus, Heinrich rode a parrot out of the back garden and through the endless void to the sky above the Aegean Sea, where the beauty of the Rainbow Bridge could be seen from a long distance.

If you look in the direction where the Rainbow Bridge falls, you can see several black spots looming on the sea. Heinrich hurriedly urged the parrot under his seat to speed up, and by the time he reached the sky above the fleet, a thick layer of dark clouds had accumulated overhead.

He didn't have time to tell which one was Atreus's big ship, so he just picked on his nearest one and stuck the sword of Olympus directly into the top of the mast.

When Heinrich had done all this, there was a flash of lightning in front of him, and then a terrifying thunderclap sounded in his ears.

Bang!

A bolt of thunder slashed towards the center of the fleet, where Atreus was located. If this thunderbolt is allowed to be implemented, I am afraid that even the nearby ships will be implicated.

At this moment, the thunder in the air suddenly changed, as if pulled by an invisible force, and the electric snake changed direction and landed on a ship at the back of the fleet.

When the electric snake slashed and landed on the mast, the dazzling light flickered, and the electric snake disappeared without a trace, as if it had been swallowed by something.

Before the soldiers on the ship had time to cheer, thunder began to brew in the sky again, and there was more than one, two electric snakes in a row at the same time.

This time, the result was the same, the two electric snakes were pulled at the same time and fell on the mast of the same ship, and finally disappeared into nothingness.

Three ...... Four ...... There were more and more electric snakes, and in the end, they were densely packed like wild snakes. The invisible traction force seemed to be limited, and in the end, it could not attract all the electric snakes, and half of the ships at the front of the fleet were struck by the electric snakes, and instantly broke into countless pieces, and the soldiers and crews on it were blown into pitch-black powder without even having a chance to scream.

I don't know how long it took for the electric snake to finally stop, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the sun's rays shone on the sea again.

Heinrich was shocked to see this, he drove the parrot to the surface of the sea, carefully inspected the ships one by one, and finally found that Atreus's ship happened to be at the front of the only remaining ships, and if it deviated slightly, it would be destroyed by thunder like other ships.

Atreus, who survived the catastrophe, was not timid, and personally comforted the suffering warriors, eating and living with them.

Inspired by Atreus, the remaining warriors were demoralized, and with the joint efforts of everyone, the silhouette of Troy City was getting closer and closer.

The night before they were to land, an inexplicable prophecy circulated among the soldiers that the first person to set foot on land would be killed by an arrow piercing the heart, and that his head would be separated from his body.

For a moment the soldiers were restless, and when the ship ran aground on the beach, no soldier even wanted to be the first to go ashore.

At this time, everyone looked at Atreus, hoping that the prince, who had been chosen by the gods, would be able to explain this vicious prophecy.

The loyal Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were about to step forward and be the first to land, but Atreus had an idea, he took Mognir's shield, threw it on the beach, and jumped straight from the ship.

When Atreus was the first to land, the warriors swept away their worries and scrambled to jump from the ship, leaving the sea that had tormented them for so long.

No one noticed that Atreus's foot was not on the ground, but on the shield.

Atreus secretly noticed that the first to set foot on land was a warrior named Prothesilaeus, who was brave and powerful, but also ambitious, and abandoned his wife and mother, and his heart was filled with a desire to establish a meritorious service.

Not long after Atreus led his troops to land, and the queue was not even neat, the sound of fighting suddenly sounded from the gravel field on the side, and then thousands of Trojan soldiers rushed out.

Atreus drew his sword and rushed forward with a loud roar. The soldiers behind him were inspired and followed him to fight the enemy without fearing death, and for a moment blood infected the entire tidal flat.

These Trojan soldiers were not physically strong, but defeated troops who had somehow escaped from the Trojan Empire, and they hid along the nearby coastline.

When they saw Atreus's ship landing, they saw it as their only chance, killing all the enemies and escaping from the sea.

But they didn't expect that the commander of this army was Prince Atreus, who was armed with a holy sword and was famous for his prestige.

Tormented by hunger and panic, the defeated army, which had long been overwhelmed, finally lost the will to fight under the double blow of the brilliance of the holy sword and Medusa's head, and they either fled in all directions, or knelt directly on the ground and begged for mercy.

This time, Atreus did not relent, and after experiencing the ordeal at sea, he clearly knew that from now on, only through killing and fire could he achieve the final victory in this war.

While cleaning up the battlefield, a corpse catches Atreus's attention. The corpse was pierced through the chest by several arrows, and its head was cut off, and it rolled down next to the corpse.

The face of the head was still full of unwillingness and resentment before death, and when you looked closely, it was the soldier named Prothesilaus.

The corpse did not attract the attention of the others, and only Atreus knew that the soldier named Prothesilaus was the first to set foot on land.

After the battle, Atreus disposed of the corpse himself, collecting some of the clothes he had plucked from the corpse, lighting a flame that burned the corpse to ashes, and spilled it into the sea without leaving a trace.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Atreus ordered his warriors to march forward with his hymn in a loud voice, and he was to spread his name so that the coalition forces he might encounter on the way could greet him with the highest courtesy.

The landing beach was less than 3 days away from the city of Troy, and when the magnificent city appeared on the horizon, all the soldiers felt a burst of joy and encouragement, believing that as long as Atreus stood under the city with the holy sword in hand, the impregnable city of Troy would collapse and the war that had lasted for many years would be over.

At this moment, billowing dust and smoke rose from the direction of Troy City, and Atreus stood on his horse and looked up, and suddenly his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a smile appeared on his face that had been achieved without any effort.

Ignoring the protection of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Atreus whipped his horse directly, and drove his horse alone in the direction of the dust.

At this time, everyone can also see clearly that the dust was lifted by two warriors chasing and fighting each other, and some veterans have already recognized that the current powerful warrior is the elder brother of the Trojan prince Paris, Hector, who is known as the iron wall of Troy.

The other warrior didn't know what kind of person he was able to force the human hero Hector to such an extent, his bronzed skin was as bright as gold and iron, and the sword stabbed on it could only leave a shallow mark.

Atreus drew his sword and stopped in Hector's path, while holding down Medusa's head hanging from his waist with his other hand, and as soon as Hector entered his attack range, he would not hesitate to petrify the famous human hero with his death gaze.

The Battle of Troy has been going on for several years, and both the coalition and Troy have seen the emergence of famous human heroes. Among them, Hector was the most powerful warrior and was known as the Iron Wall of Troy.

It can be said that as long as Hector is taken, the battle of Troy will usher in the curtain of the end, and the immortal feats can be completed in an instant.

The mighty warrior chasing after Hector did not know the identity of Atreus, and when he saw a young man with a weapon in his hand, he thought that he was trying to rob him of his merits, so he shouted angrily, and threw his spear at Hector's back.

Hector was such a heroic figure, if this means could take him down, the two would not have chased him to such a place.

I saw that Hector's back seemed to have eyes, and just when the war spear was about to pierce him in the back of the heart, the whole person suddenly pounced forward, and the oblique side of his body narrowly gave way to the edge of the war spear, and even the armor was cut by the war spear, and only a little body would be pierced.

At the moment of dodging the war spear, the long sword in Hector's hand collided lightly with the war spear, and only a crisp sonorous sound was heard, and the war spear changed some trajectory slightly, and flew directly towards the front of Atreus.

Atreus was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly held the holy sword with both hands, and slashed towards the war spear with all his might, he only felt an irresistible huge force from the holy sword, and the war horse under the seat couldn't support it and let out a neigh, and fell to the ground.

Atreus was also thrown into a terrible wrestling, and rolled twice on the muddy ground before stopping, and when he got back up, his original appearance of bravery had been obscured by filthy filth.
