Chapter 1168: The King's Choice
King Aetheus of Colchis stopped in front of the fainting horse and hesitated, not far away was the white sand beach that was loved by many people in the past and loved by King Colchis, but at this time, for Aetes, who relied on divine power to create the blessed land that once the golden divine sheep set foot, it became an ominous place that was very likely to bring disaster. Aetes couldn't help but regret his decision to approach the visitor, if in the capital of the Kingdom of Corchis, Aetes could summon dragon tooth soldiers with dragon teeth as seeds, and the Poison Dragon, the guardian of the Golden Fleece, could also be used as a combat force by Aetes. The god-given poisonous dragon and the dragon tooth soldiers created by divine magic joined forces, and Aetes asked himself if he still had some confidence to fight against the unknown existence.
However, now that the distance between the two sides can be observed with the eyes of the two sides, it is undoubtedly considered rude to leave without permission, and it is not impossible that such an act will be used as a pretext to trigger an invasion war. The humans in the Olympian God's realm are probably influenced by the typical muscle god Ares in terms of struggle, and it has become common knowledge that you will fight to the death if you disagree. On the edge of the Olympian Belt, Eetes used to face a number of visitors who chose to do it directly. Of course, because they miscalculated the strength of Aetes as a king and a magically learned warrior, they all became ghosts without even tombstones under the siege of dragontooth soldiers and poisonous dragons.
But the legions that could be caught with the naked eye not far away made Aetes a weak side, and the thousands of elite warriors covered in heavy armor, with sharp spears and swords reflecting the sun, were a formidable enemy that the kingdom of Colchis could not resist. The poisonous dragon given by Zeus is indeed an irresistible existence for ordinary people, but the so-called poisonous dragon is not actually a mythical creature that soars in the sky with wide wings, but is similar to a crocodile that can spit venom, and the weakness of limited mobility and armor is not invulnerable allows the poisonous dragon to be besieged and killed by multiple humans. Not to mention the dragon tooth soldiers made of poisonous dragon teeth absorbing soil, but they have a hideous appearance but no power to control the tide of battle.
'In terms of combat power, Colchis is overwhelmingly disadvantaged, and even if I retreat to the kingdom, I am afraid that there will not be enough time for me to gather the warriors of the whole country to deal with the attacking enemy... You can only test it first, if you can buy the other party with money or power... No, now is not the time to put your hopes in the character of the other party, and negotiate with the other party in a dignified manner, with the blessing of our Lord God, the kingdom of Colchis will not be destroyed! ’
Pinning his hopes on the protection of the god king of Olympus and the god of war, Aetes regained his majesty as a king, and under the protection of his subordinate soldiers, he abandoned his horse and strode to the murderous white sand beach.
Walking to the distance where the sound could be heard, Aetes' gaze swept over the soldiers lined up in a dense formation. The thick steel armor obscured the faces of the soldiers, making it impossible for Aetes to analyze the mental state of the enemy soldiers through the faces of the soldiers, but the murderous aura emanating from the military situation made even the king of Eetes almost breathless, so that he could know that the identity of the visitors who arrived here was definitely not low, otherwise there should not be enough combat power to bulldoze the country to follow him on the sea.
It wasn't just the aura of the army that made Eetes find it tricky, but after a closer look at the armor and weapons worn by the soldiers, Aetes was certain that his soldiers might not be able to inflict effective damage on enemy soldiers. The leather armor and unarmored units that prevailed during the Divine Dynasty encountered the improved full-coverage double-layer armor in the middle of the Cold Weapon Age, and unless soldiers armed with bronze weapons and even wooden clubs swarmed up and chiseled at the seams of the armor, the iron armor could not be destroyed with crude and inferior bronze slashing weapons.
Moreover, the rarity of iron weapons is probably worn only by heroes beloved by the gods. But even the weapons held by those heroes, I don't think they will have a thunderous sheen... ’
The cold light of the sword made a slight harsh sound in the wind, and Aetes was convinced that each soldier's weapon possessed the sharpness to split a human body in two. However, it was the man who slowly marched forward under the support of the soldiers, compared to the elite soldiers who were heavily armed, what made Aetes tremble. At first glance, there seems to be no difference between men and women under the protection of soldiers and ordinary people, except that their appearance and body are far superior to ordinary people and even gods. It's the same as ordinary people, with two arms, two long legs, and one head.,It's not a monster with nine heads or even ten thousand heads among the demons spread by the gods.。 But as Aetheus decided to put himself in the shoes of King Colchis, the terrifying pressure from the front almost caused the immortal king to fall to his knees in front of the visitor.
Fear from the depths of his heart shocked Aetes, and he brought Aetes to his knees with an invisible spirit without his subordinates noticing, which was no longer within the control of humans. The oppression that Aetheus had never felt when he faced the manic god of war Ares, was now emerging from the seemingly ordinary human being. Thinking of the horse who suddenly died for unknown reasons, Aetes vaguely realized that the existence he was about to face was likely to be an absolute powerhouse that even the gods could not help.
Fear and withdrawal were impossible for Aetes, neither the majesty and rule of being a king nor the instinctive desire for life as a human being. Breathing the air deep into his lungs and suppressing the fear that was constantly surging in his heart, the king of the great god Colchis took the first step forward in the eyes of his subordinates, who had begun to doubt. At least now Aetes had made the decision of a king, and walked with a resolute and steady stride to a stop about twenty paces away from the visitor, and loudly revealed his identity to the heavily guarded visitor.
"I am Lord of the Kingdom of Colchis, King chosen by the gods, Aetheus! Whost you are, and what is the purpose of coming to the kingdom over which I rule? ”
Without the slightest trill, Aetes' loud and calm questioning calmed the mood of the soldiers who had rioted over the death of the king's beloved horse. Although the Guards of the Kingdom of Colchis were inferior to the visitors in terms of training and equipment, the slight numerical advantage made Aetes barely stand up straight under the pressure of the visitors. Hearing Aetes' questioning, the man who was clearly at the head of the visitor stepped forward with the guard. After confirming the leader of the other party, Aetes followed in the footsteps of the visitor's leader, broke away from the protection of the guards, and made a slow but steady advance towards the position of the visitor's leader.
