The Great Villain of Greece

If you had a golden apple, who would you give it to?

At the banquet, Lorne, who had been invited, saw the golden apple on the plate inscribed with "For the Fairest Goddess," and the t...

Chapter 302: Damn, there’s something awesome!

In the camp, the six people who had resolved their misunderstandings gathered in front of the bright fire and exchanged their names.

Of course, Lorne used a pseudonym.

The atmosphere on the field gradually became harmonious during the communication. The women were baking clothes while preparing food, chatting and laughing; the men were on guard while talking about their respective itineraries.

Coincidentally, these three brothers and sisters who were born in Sparta, like the Loen trio, also came to solve the beast disaster in Arcadia.

Moreover, they were reinforcements specially invited by the King of Arcadia.

"Are the diplomatic relations between Arcadia and Sparta so good?"

Loen looked at the twin brothers in front of him with surprise.

These three siblings were not ordinary Spartans, but princes and princesses of Sparta. Not only were they of noble status, but their births were also full of legends.

During Zeus's fateful eighth descent to Earth to hunt for women, he transformed himself into a swan being chased by a falcon, flew into the arms of Leda, the queen of Sparta, and then semi-forced union with her.

After several days of romance, Queen Leda became pregnant and gave birth to two golden swan eggs, which hatched four angelic children.

Castor and Clytemnestra were born from one golden egg, the eldest son and daughter; Polyces and Helen were born from the other golden egg, the second son and daughter.

Two of his sons, Castor and Polyces, were Greek heroes later named Gemini; his two daughters, Clytemnestra and Helen, one married Agamemnon, the king of the Mycenaean city-state; the other married Agamemnon's brother Menelaos, which triggered the entire Trojan War.

Seeing the surprise on Lorne's face, the twin brothers chuckled and replied.

"We didn't want to come, and we're not familiar with the King of Arcadia."

"But, this is Lord Apollo's oracle..."

It seems that because they have a mutual understanding, the two brothers speak in a very distinctive way. They basically connect with each other and finish a whole paragraph together.

Apollo?

Lorne was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

In traditional impressions, the Spartans were brave and warlike, belonging to a militarized city-state, which was very suitable for the god of war Ares.

But in fact, they mainly believe in Apollo, the god of light and prophecy.

The Spartans believed that Apollo was their patron saint, the god of war and the god of art. In Sparta's military training, before every expedition, the Spartan warriors would go to the Temple of Apollo to pray, hoping to win and be blessed, because they believed that Apollo's power could give them courage, strength and fighting skills.

As for Ares, I'm sorry, although he is the god of war, he lost too many times and was disliked by the Spartans.

After all, war is only worth winning.

Well, now Apollo is also the god of war, and Ares is having a really bad time.

While Lorne was secretly joking, he also roughly understood the ins and outs of the incident based on the twin brothers' narration.

Not long ago, Arcadia encountered a beast disaster. The temple priests turned to Artemis, the goddess of hunting, for help, but received no response.

In fact, it wasn't that Artemis was unwilling to help, but that she was not in Arcadia at all.

In order to compete with Ares for the faith of the Amazons, she took her fighting nymphs to the Paradise Island where the Amazons lived. The war of faith was currently at a critical stage and Artemis could not spare the time.

Before leaving, the goddess of hunting asked her brother Apollo to take care of Arcadia, the holy land of the goddess of hunting.

Therefore, after hearing about the crisis in Arcadia, Apollo immediately selected Sparta, the most powerful city-state under his command, and sent down an oracle a few days ago, asking Sparta to send descendants of gods to assist the Arcadians in dealing with the beast disaster.

Just like that, the twin brothers who possessed the orthodox blood of God accepted the commission and embarked on a journey to conquer the beast disaster.

As for Helen, it was an accident.

Out of curiosity and love of play, the princess sneaked out of the city with her brothers. Although they were caught red-handed, the twin brothers could not resist their sister's pitiful pleading and had to take her with them.

It has to be said that this beautiful woman who will bring disaster to Greece in the future has revealed her troublesome nature since she was a child.

After listening to this, Luo En sighed inwardly and observed a moment of silence for his blood great-grandfather.

Ares, oh Ares, after letting Apollo show off his power as the God of War, now Artemis is going to snatch away the territory he has worked so hard to build... Does this mean that every god in Olympus can take advantage of you?

"The meal is ready, you can eat now."

The pleasant voice put an end to the men's idle chatter, and Helen led her two brothers and her savior to sit down formally.

The flickering bonfire licked the bottom of the pot, and the boiling mushroom soup was filled with a delicious flavor; the animal meat skewered on branches and roasting on the side also turned golden on the surface, exuding the aroma of oil.

Helen picked up the spoon and took the lead in filling a bowl of mushroom soup for Lorne.

Moreover, the wheat cakes and grilled meat on his plate were obviously larger than those of others, and looked better.

Seeing their sister's obvious favoritism, the twin brothers who were waiting for dinner looked resentful.

I know you want to express your gratitude, but there's no need to be so obvious, right?

Atalanta and Medea, who were standing behind, saw that the Spartan princess was so enthusiastic and proactive. Out of their female instinct, they immediately became alert. They crouched down and squeezed Loen in the middle like a sandwich.

He is married, so don't even think about seducing the decent women and men in War God Mountain!

In the end, Helen could only sit back next to her brothers in a sullen manner, casting resentful glances at them from time to time.

Looking at the guards on both sides who were guarding him closely, and the pitiful beauty beside him, Loen suddenly felt uneasy and quickly changed the subject.

"Come on, come on, eat, eat, or the food will get cold."

As he said this, he quickly lowered his head and concentrated on preparing dinner for tonight.

Although the delicacy and deliciousness of this meal were not as good as Hestia's.

But the ingredients in the mountains are quite abundant, and everyone has prepared quite a lot of condiments, so the overall taste can be rated at least 70 or 80 points.

After the meal, Loen took out some snacks that he always had on hand and shared them with everyone.

The sweet and sour taste popular among the Greeks, coupled with the exquisite shape, was very much to the liking of the girls, so the three women in the team immediately focused on dealing with the small cakes in front of them and no longer cared about the issue of Loen.

Seeing that his plan worked, Loen quietly handed over a plate of crispy, sweet and soft snacks made of wheat flour and grape jam. Then he tiptoed back to the tent, quickly cast a defensive magic at the door, dived into the bed, and fell asleep.

Whether he was really asleep or pretending to be asleep, he would not deal with the three tigresses anyway.

The night passed peacefully and the next morning arrived normally.

After eating and resting, everyone came out of the tent one after another.

After a night of getting along, the six people, who had similar personalities and the same goal, quickly reached a consensus and decided to travel together towards Arcadia.

~~

Whew~~

In the wilderness, war horses neighed and two streams of dust filled the air. After several days' journey, six people driving their own carriages finally arrived at the disaster-stricken area of Arcadia.

At this time, this place has been blocked by Arcadia soldiers.

The soldiers holding guns and shields and scattered at various passes for martial law, after confirming their identities, solemnly beat their chests to salute and gave deep reminders.

"Warriors, after you pass this level, there will be an area full of monsters. They may appear around you at any time, so be careful!"

"It just so happens that we are here to deal with these beasts."

Castor smiled brightly, not taking it seriously.

The middle-aged man who looked like an officer opened his mouth, but when he saw the high-spirited looks of the two groups and thought of their identity as descendants of gods, he finally did not speak. He just ordered his subordinates to pull open the sharpened fence, remove the outer defense spells, and gave a few simple instructions.

"More than ten kilometers ahead is the Royal City. You can gather in the city first, take a short rest and get basic supplies. After three days, when we have enough people, His Majesty will send someone to go into the mountains with you to wipe out the monsters."

"Okay, thank you very much, you have worked hard."

Loen nodded in thanks and then drove the carriage through the checkpoint.

"This monster is a little different, be careful!"

The officer, who seemed to be moved by the kindness expressed by Loen, watched the expeditionary force move forward and finally raised a warning.

Loen waved his hand to indicate that he had heard the advice, and then drove the carriage forward at an accelerated speed.

Arcadia is mountainous and has dense jungles. Even the main roads are mostly interspersed among the relatively flat slopes of the mountains and forests.

The carriage passed through a thin layer of mountain mist, and the scenery in front of us suddenly became clear. The towering trees reached the sky, and the dense leaves cast green shadows. At noon, the thick fog dissipated slightly.

But even such bright sunlight passed through the gaps, broke through the obstruction of shadows, and shone into the woods, leaving only a few inconspicuous spots.

A breeze blew on his face, and Lorne, who was driving, took a deep breath. The fragrance of the plants' vigorous vitality and the smell of decaying branches and leaves mixed together, making his nose itchy and he couldn't help but want to sneeze.

This time the Warcraft is a little different... What does that mean?

Loen thought to himself and observed carefully.

The plants around were unusually large, with obvious signs of alienation, and the lingering haze shrouding the dense forest also had a faint smell of blood.

"Something is coming! Be alert!"

Atalanta, standing on the roof of the car, looked at the smoke and dust rising from the hillsides on both sides in the distance, as well as the fallen trees in large numbers. She couldn't help but prick up her ears and shouted to warn.

Soon, accompanied by a violent shaking of the ground, dozens of monsters covered with bright manes and with a pair of fangs on the front rushed out of the dense forest and crashed into two carriages on the road.
