Chapter 12: Hera's New Partner

Alice sighed, at the moment she was in a closed void, presumably Hera

Hera is already so strong, and the opponent is even stronger, and with an arrow wound in her knee, she can defeat Hera. Alice couldn't imagine how a person could do it, that person was definitely not an idle person.

While thinking about the identity of the other party, what she thought about the most was whether the person had already returned to the city.

Alice watched as the void around her changed, the Spartan helmet, the Athenian shield, Alc's sword, and the frame of the tent appeared in front of Hera. Alice felt Hera wake up a little, but she was still in a semi-conscious state. When she fully awoke, she found Hess standing in front of her bed, her right eye wrapped in a black cloth, and she held a short crossbow arrow in her hand.

Hera tried to stand up, but the pain swept over her, leaving her vision blank. There was a tingling in her ribs, then a throbbing pain, but the discomfort was nothing compared to the pain in her shoulder, which was like someone stabbing the wound with a burning stick.

"Don't move," said Huss, "you'll tear open the wound." ”

Hera stopped, breathed a sigh of relief, and lay back, breathing hard.

"This is what they pulled out of you." Hess said, his fingertips fiddling with crossbow arrows.

"I was too careless." Hera said that his voice was weak, "She hid it well. ”

"You fought her?"

"Well," Hera nodded, "I shot through her knee." ”

"You're doing a great job." Hess tapped his crossbow bolt on his palm, "If it weren't for your bravery, maybe we would have lost the fight against Apollo." ”

Hera raised her head, "What's wrong with your eyes?" ”

Hess lowered her head, "I'm careless too, this eye is a lesson"

"How......" Hess continued, "have you been attacked?" ”

"I was attacked by the same female warrior you fought with," Hess nodded, "and she also broke one of my generals." ”

"What?"

"Achilles was turned into a man of stone by the other party in order to protect me," Hess said, "and so are my eyes. As she spoke, she took off her mask, and Hera could clearly see that the eyeball of Heth's right eye, including the whites of her eyes, had turned a single gray.

"It's Medusa," Hera straightened up, leaning against the edge of the bed, "but I'm wondering why I'm all right?" ”

"Maybe it's because of Hippolyta's belt," Hess said, tying up the eyecloth, "that thing should be resistant to Medusa." ”

"That's right," Hera put her doubts aside and set about solving the matter at hand, "Is Achilles still saved?" ”

Hess shook his head, "Maybe he won't be smashed, and there's some hope." ”

"Do we have any reliable candidates?" Hera asked.

"Leonidas is the only one who is reliable," said Hess, "and he is better than the three hundred men under his command." ”

"Oh," Hera asked, "are they in the barracks, then?" ”

"No," Hess shook her head, "the only ones I brought with me this time were Promy and Achilles, one of them is a wise general and the other is a military general. As she spoke, she sighed, "It's a pity ......."

"Then leave this to me now," Hera straightened up, although there was still a little residual pain in her shoulder, but her wound had healed, "Drag your blessing, my wound is healed, but there will still be a little residual pain." Hera touched the wounded part, thinking that no matter what, the entire clan would not be able to bear the death of the two generals.

"How many people know about Achilles' death?" Hera asked.

"Just three of them, I and Achilles' brother Achilles," Hess explained, "I haven't said this yet, for the time being I'm going to have Achilles imitate his brother, knowing that he is twins, and why he did it, I think you know it." ”

Hera nodded, she understood what Hess meant, the reason why she concealed it, if Achilles was killed by Medusa, and the news spread to the army, everyone's mood would be even more uncomfortable, and the previous scar had not healed before this scar came.

"When are we leaving?" Hera asked.

"Tomorrow," said Hess, "we will attack the Amazon as planned." ”

"Not going to kill Erymantos?"

Hess sighed, "No, Ermantos has just received a carrier pigeon from Iason, and they trapped him. ”

Hera nodded, but felt that something was wrong, "Is it appropriate for us to attack Amazon like this?" ”

Hess was silent for a moment, then raised his crossbow arrow, "All the other warriors who were shot by this crossbow arrow are dead, and Medusa's is no less poisonous than Xudra's." ”

"I'm sad to hear that." Hera looked at her palm.

"As you said, you survived because of the golden apple," Hess explained, "and the effort to find the secret passage, and then the battle against Medusa, dragging your mortally wounded body for miles back to the camp, you can now give the camp a new morale." ”

Hera frowned, "But I didn't kill her, and I didn't find the secret way." ”

Hess put the crossbow arrows in the bag around her waist, "At least you've scrapped Medusa." ”

"Yes," said Hera, "I use Apollo's arrows. ”

"Apollo had only thirty arrows," Hess explained, "and these thirty are unique, and he had only used five until he died, and he would have killed you in the end," she said, as she walked over to Hera's quiver, and took out one of the arrows, "but there was no chance." ”

"Shimin told me this," Hera said, "that the Apollo arrow is made of a special rare metal, and it is indestructible, at least in this era. ”

Hera smiled, then said, "From this day forward, I will appoint you as a general. ”

Hera's eyes widened, and after a moment, she said, "Then I feel very honored. ”

"But wait for the injury, but stay with me." With that, Hess turned and left.

Then, Hera's consciousness gradually loosened, and she leaned back on the bed, falling into a deep sleep again, and this time Alice did not fall into the dark void.

Time passed quickly, and Hera's eyes opened, a little too wide, so much that she could tell what was around her and not be able to focus properly.

When she first got up, Hera had felt that the previous night had been an extremely difficult night, and she woke up drunk, but the pain in her shoulder told her that it was fake.

"General," a man's voice came from near her.

"Who is it? ," Hera replied.

"My name is Achilles." The man introduced, "From today onwards, it will be your battlefield partner."

"Achilles" Hera rubbed her eyes, her gaze finally returned to normal, and she asked, "Where's Heth?" ”

Achilles said that she was reorganizing his troops. ”

"Straighten out the troops?" Hera looked at the noon sun outside the tent and said, "It's noon, why do you start to put things in order?" ”

"Hmm...... This," Achilles rubbed his temples, "the king has sent a team of men, so there will be no attack for the time being. ”

"A team?" Hera repeated, her mind wondering, "Who is it?" ”

Achilles shook his head, "I don't know about that. ”

Who could that be? Hera thought.

"General Hess didn't say much," said Achilles, "and she just had to wait for you to wake up." ”

Hera was a little confused, but this time she gave up asking back.

"Actually, I don't think we need to attack this fight." Achilles said.

"Oh," his words intrigued Hera, who asked, "do you have any unique insights?" ”

"I heard that the general was injured by Medusa on his way to the secret passage to Amazon City, right?" Achilles asked.

"Yes." Hera nodded.

"Actually, the main idea of the general is right," Achilles explained, "It is better to storm the Amazon than to sneak into it, infiltrate it, and strike the enemy on the inside and outside, so that even the gods will not escape." ”

Listening to Achilles' analysis, Hera smiled, she finally knew why her sister Hess had introduced him to her as a partner, and she asked, "Young man, I don't think you're very old. ”

"I'm just sixteen this year." Achilles said.

"Yes, you can follow me later, and I'll go to the general's side to explain your thoughts later," Hera said, looking around, and asked, "Is there anything else General Hess said besides this?" ”

Achilles closed his eyes, "She said that when you wake up, you don't need to change into a battle robe, you won't attack today, you can just wear civilian clothes." ”

"Alright," Hera nodded, ready to get up,

"Then general, I'll go out first," Achilles said, bowing, "I'll wait for you outside the tent." ”

"Okay." Hera replied, and Achilles turned and went out.

Hera got out of bed and undressed, and in the mirror, she saw three scars on her body, although she recovered quickly, but the scars remained, she put on her gown, loosened the hair coiled in the back of her head, and hung it down on her shoulders, and for the sake of several sneak attacks, Hera pinned the dagger to her waist and went out of the tent.

Achilles was waiting for her at the door, and when he saw her come out, he bowed and said, "You look so beautiful today." ”

"Thank you." Hera replied, "Where are we going next?" ”

"Don't worry," said Achilles, "here's a letter from you. ”

"What letter?"

"A letter from a man named Shi Min."

"Oh?" Hera instantly felt a little interesting, "Old fellow. She opened the envelope, looked at it, her expression became nervous, and when she read it to the end, her expression became serious, she dropped the letter, took her skirt in both hands, and ran forward.

"Wait, General," Achilles called, and followed.

Hera burst into a tent, pulled back the curtains, and said with a smile, "Sure enough, it's you." ”

A man sat on the clay kang next to Heth, wearing a brown long skirt and armor, and a straw hat, but his brown hair could still be seen, he looked up at the door, and his dark blue eyes reflected Hera's figure, and smiled, "What? Don't welcome me? ”

"How so," said Hera, "Caron. ”
