Chapter 798: Forbidden Forest
Early the next morning, Dragu quietly found Mawson.
"Now that the princess has found all the men, let's leave through the side gate of Argos, and then head east to the Styx Gardens."
Mawson naturally had no objection, he took Maka with him, and after a night's rest, although Maka was still a little weak and unable to fight, he could barely keep up on horseback.
At Argos' side door, Mawson sees Princess Andromeda and Perseus, as well as two guys dressed in strange costumes and several soldiers.
It seems that this should have been done in secret, and Andromeda did not want Kephes to know about it.
"There are only 9 days left, and everything is up to you." Andromeda nodded at Dragu, who bent over with his right hand on his chest.
Andromeda saw everyone off one by one, even if he knew that there was an element of showmanship, Mosen had to admit that this woman did have some skills.
As for Perseus, he had already gone with hatred, and with the encouragement of Andromeda, he was eager to find a way at once and tear Hades apart.
There was no grand farewell ceremony, and it even looked a little gray, and everyone rode out of the city gate all the way to the east.
"It would take about two days to get from here to the Styx Gardens at full speed, passing through a forest and then a ruin."
Dragu sighed.
"It was once a powerful nation, and their king, Akrisios, was hailed as the strongest man under the gods."
"But alas, everything is gone."
"He once led an army against Mount Olympus, and this act angered the gods, who sent curses and punishments, and turned prosperous nations into scorched earth and fertile lands into deserts."
"It's deserted now."
Dragu sighed.
He has a resolute character, cold as a stone, and rarely sees such emotions in him.
"Almost 20 years have passed since the story of King Akrisios, and I thought no one remembered it anymore." The man in fancy dress spoke.
After a slight hesitation, Dragu responded to the man's words in a rare way, "My father used to live there, and I was only a teenager when the city was destroyed. ”
"If it weren't for His Majesty King Kephes, I'm afraid I would have been buried in the rubble with my family."
Looking at the forest not far away, Dragu clamped his legs hard, and the horse under him sped up, "Speed up, the forest at night is not safe, we must walk through the whole forest today!" ”
As soon as the team set off, most of them were naturally full of confidence, but Maka's body was weak, and his face was pale on horseback at this time, and he couldn't hold on anymore.
"To be honest, I really don't understand why you're taking this guy."
Dragu spoke, "Although his strength is good, he was injured in the arena after all, and now the time is urgent, with his physical condition, I am afraid that he will die before he arrives at the place." ”
Although Dragu's tone was stiff, he still slowed down slightly, which made him very anxious, and his tone naturally rushed a little.
Mawson didn't explain, but just asked Maca to hold on a little longer, and when he entered the forest, he believed that there would be some powerful creatures there that could help Maca recover from his injuries.
Compared to the others, Perseus was obviously only a newcomer, he had only come into contact with the sea and fishing nets in the first twenty years of his life, and naturally he knew nothing about horseback riding.
"What did Her Highness the Princess arrange for him to do?"
"Let him fish, and come and provide us with food?" A young warrior whispered.
Dragu didn't squeak, but his attitude towards Perseus wasn't very good, but Mawson took the opportunity to make frequent contact with Perseus, and he had been thinking about a problem.
If you kill this Perseus, will you get any special abilities?
In Mawson's perception, there is a golden energy in Perseus's body that appears and disappears, and this energy may be the reason why God is God.
After entering the forest, the speed of the crowd slowed down significantly.
Taking advantage of the break between resting to rehydrate and eat, Dragu also deliberately instructed Perseus, who originally thought that he was only going through a process, but the comprehension shown by Perseus surprised him.
Although he intended to release the water, the two of them came and went in a good way.
But at this moment, there was an exclamation from the bushes not far away, and the sound was none other than Lexus, who was on guard!
"There is a situation!"
Dragu was the first to get into the fight, and like an agile leopard, he quickly ran in the direction from which the voice came, and behind him were several other warriors.
These people were obviously battle-hardened, and Perseus was a little slower to react, and by the time he started, he could barely see the backs of a few people.
But he didn't give up, but followed closely with his shield and short sword.
The only one who hasn't moved on the field is Mawson, and as for Marca, he is weak and has been able to hold on until now.
Soon, there was a roar of beasts and the shouts of the crowd ahead.
"Mr. Mawson, you don't have to worry about my ......"
At Mawson's request, Marca addressed him as sir.
Boom!
A figure was knocked out of the bushes, rolling on the ground several times in a row, and before it could stand up, a wild wolf several laps larger than an ordinary black bear roared and pounced.
It was Perseus who fell to the ground, he had no time to stand up, he could only raise his shield to block, and Mawson noticed that at the moment of crisis, the golden energy that was originally silent in Perseus's body had the possibility of recovery.
He stood where he was, and did not step forward to help, watching Perseus being crushed under him by the wolf, if it weren't for the round shield in his hand, I am afraid that his intestines would have rotted by this time.
Sou!
A silver light slashed through the air, leaping nearly 10 meters before plunging into the wolf's back.
But this monster was obviously no ordinary beast, and the spear only pierced the skin and muscles on the surface, and then it was stuck in the gaps in the bones.
The wounded monster became even more terrifying, and at this moment the sword of Draguti rushed out of the bushes.
It was only a few steps before he came behind the monster, and he seemed extremely calm at this moment of crisis, and the big sword in his hand slashed and slashed directly at the monster's ankle.
He gripped the hilt of his sword with both hands, the muscles on his arms bulging, and a low roar came out of his mouth.
"Get out of here!"
He severed the monster's hind limbs with a single sword, and the monster was so badly wounded that it naturally abandoned Perseus, dragging its broken leg and turning to pounce on Dragu.
Dragu calmly stepped back, dodging several of the monster's blows, he moved towards the monster's injured side, and finally found an opportunity, after dodging an attack, he stepped forward and stabbed the long sword in his hand into the monster's heart from the side!
At this time, it seemed that the battle on the other side was settled, and the rest of the people also rushed out of the bushes.
Dragu picked up Perseus, shook the blood from his sword, and strode forward, his weapon pointed at Mawson.
"What are you doing?"
"Why don't you save when you die?!"
Dragu's voice was low, as if he was about to draw his sword at the slightest disagreement!
