"So," said Hera, squinting at Caron, "what purpose did the old fellow call you for?" ”

"He sensed something was wrong with you, so he sent me here." ”

"That's for the best, my teacher," Hera said with a smile, "what's the plan?" ”

Charon and Hess nodded to each other, then said to Hera, "You come with me." ”

"Okay." With that, led by Charon, Hera followed him out the door, "That, Achilles." ”

"Yes."

"If you're all right, come along," said Charon.

"Yes," Achilles said, putting his spear aside and walking out the door.

"You know him, too?" Hera asked softly.

"Well, yes," Achilles explained, "he taught me how to shoot." ”

"Then we're half the same family," Hera said.

"How?"

"He taught me half of my bowery," said Hera, "and my father and Shimin let me study with him for a long time in order to make me more accomplished. ”

"Oooh," Achilles nodded.

"Here we are," said the Charon, pausing at the foot of a hill, above their heads, the buildings that stood on the headland loomed in the shape of a hill rock that looked carved into the rock, and to their right, a palpitating ramp.

"What is this?" Achilles asked.

"It's a dilapidated watchtower, and it's one of the highest points in the valley around the Amazon." "There's a river down there that surrounds the surrounding villages, and it's very bustling. ”

"Shall we go up?" Hera said, "Where to survey the enemy." ”

"Not exactly," Caron explained, "that's just one of the purposes. ”

"Let's go up first." Hera said, jumping up and grabbing the rock directly above her, and began to climb up.

Charon grinned, "Let's go, Achilles. ”

"Oh," Achilles looked up, and was about to grab the rock above, but was stopped by Charon, "What? Achilles asked.

"Let's go over there." Charon pointed to the ramp on the right, and the two walked over.

By the time the two of them reached the top of the ramp, Hera had already climbed to the top.

The two walked through the archway, past the sentry post of the dilapidated wooden house, and towards the inside of the watchtower.

When she saw Hera again, she frowned and looked up.

Inside the watchtower is a tower, one of the tallest buildings in the watchtowers, and the mere climb to the top requires a series of dazzling staircases.

"Do you want to go up?" Achilles asked.

Charon nodded, "We'll climb this time." ”

Hera, on the side, tucked her robe into her belt, then grabbed the gap in the outer rocks to the first floor, and climbed to the top layer by layer, Charon and Achilles followed closely, but it was obvious that Hera was faster.

The three of them soon reached the top of the tower, where the view was so wide that they could look around the entire surrounding area.

The surrounding rugged terrain stretches for thousands of miles, and the river meanders like the meridians of the earth, nourishing every village that gathers. Views of the Amazon in the distance: the tall walls stretch from the buildings and the scattered villages below, to the bazaars and the wooden fences and stables that surround the façade.

"How high did you climb to"? Achilles asked, his face a little blue, apparently frightened by the wind slapping on him and the distance between himself and the ground.

"Seventy-six meters," Caron told him, "but the distance we have climbed up is estimated that we are now more than twenty meters." ”

"Well, teacher," Hera beckoned to the nearby Caron, "look at the wall. ”

"Oh." Charon leaned forward and looked at the wall, "That's long enough distance to get out of range of enemy archers, and of course they can use their superiority to kill them." ”

"We don't necessarily have to go into their circle of attack," Achilles said, and then he gestured towards the two of them over the open area, "We can choose a place farther away from the city walls and project stones wrapped in cloth and doused with fire oil at the enemies in the city," he gestured, several planks stretching into the air under his feet to shake, Hera slowly moved to the other, then walked straight ahead, and leaned forward slightly to see what was below.

Looking directly down, you will be greeted by the glittering river, as the entire tower stands on the edge of the cliff.

There was no trace of blood on Achilles' face on the side. He slowly retreated to safety. Hera smiled and stepped back.

"Why did you bring us here?" Achilles asked, puzzled.

"Here's the story I want to tell," said Charon, "and this is the first starting point for the invasion of the Amazon by the Nessos army." ”

"Invading Amazon?"

"Yes," Caron nodded, "it was twenty years ago, when Nessus' army surrounded the Amazon and defeated Hippolyta and her troops, and it was a sunny day in August, like today......"

On that day, Hippolyta stood at the watchpost of the castle tower and saw a flock of birds.

Marching armies attract scavengers. Winged birds, in particular, flap their wings and swoop at the debris that remains: food, waste and carcasses...... The corpses of men and horses. Then he saw the dust in the sky.

Then a large dark spot appeared on the horizon, approaching, and finally engulfing everything in the lookout's field of vision. Due to the presence of troops, the surrounding environment was inevitably harassed and destroyed.

The group is like a giant hungry beast that devours almost everything in its path...... Saladin in the chest...... This alone is enough to drive the opponent to surrender.

If, not this time, if, the opponent is not a soldier.

In preparation for this siege, Nessus gathered more than 10,000 men to form an armed army. There were infantry, cavalry, and Followers, and he decided to rely on them to attack the Amazon.

As we all know, Hippolyta was a moderate and just leader, and she only turned a deaf ear to the attack on Nessus at the beginning, and the most important thing for her at this moment was her own kingdom.

It was during this time that Nessus sent Assassins to attempt to take Hippolyta's life twice, and declared that he would directly launch a war of aggression, which he was determined to conquer and vow to take Hippolyta's head.

So, on a sunny autumn day, his army slowly approached Masyaf. Then, a lookout from the garrison's defensive towers saw flocks of birds and cumulus dust and black dots on the horizon, and he raised his horn to his lips and sounded the alarm desperately.

Hippolyta ordered that supplies be stockpiled and that the townspeople move en masse to safer places.

The crowd flocked to the courtyard, and everyone's face was engraved with fear. But most of them quickly regained their composure and set up their stalls again to continue their business.

At the same time, the Amazonian soldiers began to build fortifications in preparation for the invading army. Like a beast that lives on the earth, the enemy is constantly expanding its territory and extending its claws to this beautiful and vibrant place.

Horns, drums, and cymbals could be heard in the distance. By the time the shape of the army gradually appeared in the blazing haze of the sky, the soldiers could already recognize each other's identities.

It was a group of hooligans of thousands of men, pikemen, javelinmen, and archers, armed with scimitars, maces, spears, and swords, some in chain mail, others in leather armor.

Nessus' men first targeted the villages around the Amazon, and the guards of the outer city watched as the invading soldiers set fire to the forests, stables, and plunder.

On the other side, the trumpet was still loud, it was Apollo, who was still a young general, led his troops to arrest the leaders of the surrounding villages and tribes, and then came to this lookout and killed these so-called leaders one by one.

In the evening, they set up camp, most of the tents in the camp were black, with only a few larger tents in between. The huge tents were the tents of Nessus, with flags fledged in the wind, and the pillars topped with gilded pomegranates, which covered the tent with brightly colored satin.

In this way, Nessus spent several days and nights outside the city, so that the soldiers of Hippolyta could not figure it out, and in the days when they were in good spirits, the soldiers of the city of Amazon began to gather all the master builders of the city, and prepared all the facilities for the defense and siege of the city, and prepared this to surprise the place.

But they didn't expect that Nessus would not attack in the past few days, so they were relieved, but they did not expect that on the night of the fifth day, a team from Nessus's command would raid the Amazon country from the watchtower where we are now, using a weapon that can soar in the air, a team of five.

In the midst of this, Erymantos cooperated with Apollo and stormed the main temple of the Amazons and killed Hippolyta.

When Charon finished telling his story, he squinted at the Amazon.

"Mentor," Achilles asked, "what are you talking to us for?" ”

"What he means is that the Amazon City is very strong, and the main reason why Nessus was able to eat him was that he used the right strategy," Hera explained, "He did not choose to attack the Amazon country by force, but infiltrated it, and chose to kill the leader of the other party first, and in doing so, no matter how strong the city is, it will naturally be destroyed again." ”

Charon nodded and complimented, "Yes, you're smart. ”

"I thought it was strange that you had come to stop Hess from attacking the city this morning," Hera said, "but now I understand. ”

"I heard that you searched for a secret passage here before, and you seriously injured Medusa?"

"Yes," Hera nodded, "but that's not the point," she said with a smile as she looked at Achilles to the side, "didn't you say you had an infiltration scheme?" Tell us about it. ”
