Chapter 15: Planning
"Your Majesty, what shall we do now?"
A legionnaire stepped forward, looking at Hippolyta with a serious expression, waiting for her leader's next order.
"Paradise Island has been exposed, my people. We have no choice but to fight to the death. ”
Hippolyta looked around at the many Amazonian warriors around her, and spoke in a deep voice.
The voice was not loud, but all the Amazon warriors present could clearly hear their queen's answer.
However, none of the fighters objected.
Hippolyta knew very well that since she had chosen to be an enemy of Ares, there was no way out for the Amazons.
But so what, because they are warriors under the command of the gods, the sword in the hands of Zeus the Father, the enemies of the Father, the enemies of the gods, that is, the enemies of the Amazons, the two sides will not die, and the Amazons and the gods of war, there can only be one victor.
From ancient times to the present, the Amazons have crossed countless battlefields, experienced countless challenges and strife with blood and fire, and this is true.
"For the glory of the Amazons, for the glory of the gods."
The legionnaire had no objection to Hippolyta's words, and even the slightest fear of life and death was evident on her face, and she held the sword to her chest, its long sword pointing upwards, and the sharp and glittering blade reflected her expression, and then she spoke solemnly and retreated.
The other Amazons didn't show any signs of flinching, but just tightened their grips on their swords and bows.
'It's really an iron-blooded army that is not afraid of death...'
Chen Sheng watched from the sidelines, although he didn't have any empathy for the Amazon clan in front of him, but this fearless momentum of the whole clan still made him have a sense of admiration for him with a similar background.
In his hometown, in that distant eastern country, there is no such an iron-blooded army, and it is precisely because of their existence that the ancient eastern country does not need to follow the example of the beautiful country on the other side of the ocean, and in the face of danger, it can only rely on a single free individual to form a so-called superhero group to defend the innocent people.
"Thank you, Master, for your help, but I have a reluctant request for your consent."
After giving her people a clear answer, Hippolyta looked at Chen Sheng again.
"If you can agree, as my personal thanks, I can promise to give you a treasure of my clan."
"What does Her Majesty want to say?"
Chen Sheng's gaze met Hippolyta's.
Treasure?
When it comes to Amazon's treasures, it seems that there are indeed a lot of them, such as the lasso, the starlight crown, and the guardian silver bracelet, these things are basically artifacts left by the Greek gods, and the most unfortunate ones also have the power of being close to the artifact. And these are just the settings on the surface, who knows how many private goods the Amazon has hidden for thousands of years.
'Hmm... Artifact? ’
Chen Sheng suddenly thought of something.
Having said that, I don't know if the Infinity Stones will be interested in these so-called artifacts?
He already had snippets of information in his mind that came out of thin air.
Infinity Stones, who wants him to find Infinity Stones from other multiverses, or similar items with great powers.
In exchange, the Infinity Stones will open up more power to him.
In this world, there are no Infinity Stones, at least in Chen Sheng's understanding of the setting of this world.
Then his goal is to choose to find some items that also have extraordinary powers, and see if they can be exchanged for Infinity Stones.
Thinking about it, his eyes lit up slightly.
Now, isn't it a good opportunity to get a good handful of Amazonian wool?
Although when the other party is in great trouble, this idea is a bit of a robbery.
Of course, in Chen Sheng's opinion, these divine weapons of the Amazon clan are still too far behind the power of the Infinity Stones, but they are also worth a try.
After all, he had the name of having an artifact, and in a short period of time, Chen Sheng didn't know where to find something as powerful as the Infinity Stones.
“... Your Excellency, Master? ”
Hippolyta saw that Chen Sheng seemed to have a sudden and brief fugue, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she couldn't help frowning slightly and reminded her out loud.
"Ah, Queen, please."
Chen Sheng regained his senses, coughed, and nodded.
"I would like to ask you to take my daughter Diana and another item with you at once, and leave Paradise Island."
Hippolyta said quickly.
"What?"
Diana quit now.
"Why, Mother, do you want me to be a deserter, I will never do such a thing as leaving my people and running for my life alone!"
Diana looked slightly agitated, but quickly calmed down, and her beautiful cheeks were full of determination and unyieldingness.
"I will surely defeat Ares with my own hands and prove to you who is the greatest warrior in the history of the Amazons!"
Despite having suffered two defeats, Diana still did not admit defeat, or rather, she was born to never admit defeat.
Hippolyta only glanced at Diana, she didn't respond directly, and still said to Chen Sheng.
"On this small island, only you have the power to teleport Ares thousands of miles away, and I believe that only with your help can my daughter leave the paradise island safely and escape Ares's pursuit."
“... Mother, don't say it, I'm never going to leave! ”
Diana's face was embarrassed, she unconsciously clenched her palms, and her heart only felt dull and depressed, for the first time, she had a feeling of real anger towards her mother.
"Diana, you are our last hope."
Hippolyta finally turned her head to look at her daughter.
"I may have done a lot of wrong things in the past, but there is only one thing, and that is that I will never regret having a daughter who is so proud and satisfying to me."
"Maybe I'm telling you now that you don't understand it yet, but I believe that one day, you'll understand what I've said today."
“.......”
Diana just looked at her mother, she looked at Antiope again, this is also her dearest relative, the commander of the Amazon Legion who has encouraged him since he was a child, and even dared to question his queen, but at this moment he rarely stood by Hippolyte's side, Antiope looked at her, with the tacit understanding of the three of them, Diana instantly understood, she chose to support her mother's side this time.
This made her feel a little confused.
"Diana, time is of the essence, and we can't say much about it right now, but you have to believe that you have a more important mission. The world still needs you, here, leave it to me and Your Majesty. ”
Antiope said slowly.
"But...!"
Diana still couldn't agree.
At this time, she still didn't know her true identity, nor did she understand the meaning behind this identity, so she didn't understand why she had to leave her clan behind and run for her life alone.
In comparison, she would rather fight Ares to the death.
If it weren't for the words of these two people she respected most in her life, she would have been furious.
In the Amazon's mind, desertion is an unacceptable humiliation than death.
"Well, several, I don't think I said anything."
On the other side, seeing that the scene was at an impasse for a while, Chen Sheng suddenly spoke.
"Perhaps escaping like this is not the best option, especially if Princess Diana is completely unable to agree with this outcome."
Hearing his voice, several people turned their eyes to him.
"What if I could keep Paradise Island hidden."
He smiled and looked at the three most core of the Amazon tribe in front of him.
