Chapter 342 Hera's Great Crisis! (Votes Requested)
A few days later, a large amount of precious materials from the Temple of Poseidon arrived in the city, and the Thessaly defense line began intensive reconstruction work.
Since some kind of tacit understanding had been reached in advance, Triton, as the material supplier, basically met the requirements of Lorne, the chief foreman, and also brought 300 sets of freshly-made [Scale Clothes] and related design drawings as promised to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Thessaly defenders.
As the mermaid prince happily spat out blood and cut his flesh with a big knife, the Thessaly defense line was being reconstructed and reinforced at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At a glance, the glittering orichalcum inner wall was daunting, and the densely packed superimposed spells on the wall were frightening. The God Blood Guards equipped with scales patrolled the city walls day and night, and a group of large and small bunkers inlaid with spiritual fluid cannons were hidden in the dark...
The entire Thessaly defense line is like a combination of an armadillo and a porcupine. It has a three-dimensional and comprehensive defense, is watertight, has dangerous and deadly spikes, and is full of murderous intent.
During this period, in order to verify the specific defensive effect of the defense line, the Thessaly people who could not sit still also conducted an attack and defense rehearsal.
The chief foreman, Loen, was in charge of the defense, while King Admetus brought Telamon, Caenis, Heralax, the Spartan Twins and other friendly heroes of divine blood to be responsible for the attack.
As a result, in just two days, the siege side suffered heavy casualties, with more than half of the God-Blood heroes killed, while the newly built Thessaly defense line only lost less than a hundred ordinary soldiers and magicians, and all the bunkers fell.
That’s right, under the charge of Hercules, Telamon and other human tanks, the heroes of the divine blood who had an absolute advantage in combat power suffered more than half of their troops being damaged before they could even enter the gate of the Thessaly defense line.
King Admetus was amazed by this, and his confidence in fighting against the invasion of the giants increased greatly.
You must know that among the Greek states, human cities are as fragile as sand castles in the face of the power of gods and heroes.
Take Troy, the fortress that was said to be built by gods. Typical Greek bandits like Hercules and Telamon had long turned going to Troy to fight, rob money and women into a classic mission. As long as they were well prepared, they would basically return with a full load every time.
For example, Telamon's current wife Hesione is a Trojan princess who was captured from the Trojans.
The newly crowned King Priam of Troy is the father of Princes Hector and Paris in the future Trojan War.
The reason why he was able to take office was not because of his outstanding abilities, but because he witnessed his father and brother being hacked to death, and he himself escaped by luck, so it was his turn to become king.
The gap between humans, heroes, and gods is too great. The so-called impregnable walls are mostly just psychological comfort in the face of divine power.
But the fortress before us is truly capable of causing heroes to fail and gods to stop!
Looking at the gradually completed defense line of Thessaly, King Admetus was filled with joy and wished he could sleep every day hugging this safe city wall.
As the construction problems became increasingly complicated, Lorne, who was somewhat overwhelmed, symbolically asked Athens for help.
The college also sent a group of professional talents to assist a college teacher in building a city for Thessaly.
Among them, in addition to a group of civil engineering and architecture students and several craftsmen who knew forging, there was also a Dionysian woman who was responsible for security.
On the surface, it was the former breeze goddess Aura; in reality, it was a fake disguised by the machine goddess Aphrodite through the spirit particle infiltration technique.
Looking at Aphrodite, the goddess of machines, who had completely lost her arrogance and was following him obediently, Loen asked with amusement.
"Have you figured it out?"
"Um……"
"If you feel reluctant, I can take you back to the Sea God Temple."
"No, I volunteered!"
The machine goddess Aphrodite glanced at Triton and the machine god Ares who were escorting materials in the distance, and quickly stated her position.
Send her back? Isn't that the same as sending her to be scrapped?
Things have come to this point. Whether voluntarily or forced, I can only hold on to this life-saving straw in front of me and go all the way.
Seeing that he had successfully tamed the wild horse, Loen nodded with satisfaction and a warm smile broke out on his face.
"Then from now on you will stay by Medea's side, obey her orders, and protect her safety. Don't take action unless it is absolutely necessary."
Although this woman is a mecha god of the bronze clan, her strength is remarkable and enough to deal with ordinary gods and heroes.
But for Loen, it was of little use except for warming the bed.
Junior sister Medea, on the other hand, is seriously unbalanced in her studies. Although she has a high level of attainment in witchcraft, she really needs a strong front-line meat shield to protect her from damage.
In addition, the Talisman of Destruction of All Laws in that girl's hand also gives her the authority to control the mecha goddess Aphrodite.
It just so happened that this bronze-clan mecha god was given to Medea as a summoned beast.
Anyway, judging from the two encounters, it’s hard to estimate the fighting power of the Mecha God, but he’s definitely strong enough.
"I'm at your command." Aphrodite, the goddess of machines, raised her hand to her chest and bowed respectfully to her new boss in response.
"Well, work hard, I won't treat you unfairly." Lorne smiled and patted the shoulder of Aphrodite, the goddess of machinery, and reminded her meaningfully, "By the way, learn from your predecessor and don't follow her old path..."
The machine goddess Aphrodite's heart trembled, and she immediately understood the deep meaning of her new boss's words.
The so-called "predecessor" is none other than the breeze goddess Aura, whose identity she is now applying to.
It is said that she was once a subordinate of Artemis, the goddess of hunting. Because she was so arrogant that she competed with her own main god for beauty and insulted Artemis's friend Dionysus, she was cursed and became crazy. Later, she became the Mad Goddess of Dionysus and served the god of Dionysus all her life to atone for her sins.
Thinking of the miserable end of her predecessor, Aphrodite, the goddess of machines who had a similar character problem, couldn't help swallowing and lowered her head even more.
"Understand...Understood..."
After completing the training of the new employee, Loen placed his hands on the battlements, looking at Triton and the mecha god Ares who came to deliver materials, his eyes flickering slightly.
At that time, the mysterious girl sneaked into the royal city under the identity of the machine goddess Aphrodite to assassinate him. In addition to wanting to devour his divinity and divine blood, she probably also wanted to use this assassination to create unrest in Thessaly, put the blame on the Temple of Poseidon, divide the forces of all parties, and destroy the alliance of gods.
Although he had used the evidence of Aphrodite's crimes to hold the handle against Poseidon, thus gaining a lot of benefits for himself, on the other hand he put the blame back on the old gods and the mysterious girl, and with the help of the power of Poseidon, he conducted a large-scale search for the culprit, thus inducing the two sides to fight each other.
But so far, neither he nor the Temple of Poseidon has been able to dig out the whereabouts and basic information of that woman.
This uncontrollable unknown factor made Loen feel a little uneasy.
Where did she come from? Whose orders did she follow?
She is colluding with those old gods, and what is she plotting behind the scenes?
Loen knocked his head, and just when he was puzzled, a green light streaked across the sky and fell like a meteorite outside the Royal City of Thessaly.
"boom!"
A loud noise like thunder was heard, and smoke and dust filled the air. A young girl with a broken flower crown on her head and a tattered and messy white gauze skirt on her body stood up from the crater with difficulty, holding up a bronze elephant emblem of a Gorgon in her hand and shouting anxiously.
"Where is the Athenian envoy? Save my mother!"
When Loen heard this, he had a vague ominous premonition in his heart. He immediately took a step forward into the void and instantly arrived in front of the girl from the top of the city wall of Thessaly.
The moment the two came into contact, he immediately activated the power of the maze, sealed off the surroundings, and asked the girl in a deep voice.
"I should be the person you are looking for. Who is your mother?"
"Hera! Queen Hera!"
The girl saw that the Gorgon emblem in her hand resonated with the person in front of her, and then she anxiously hugged the other person's arm and urged him on as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"The giants of the Guigantes clan and the demons of Typhon broke into the Holy Garden. They had divine tools that could kill gods. My mother was caught off guard and was seriously injured. She is in danger now. Please save her!"
When Luo En heard this, his expression changed and he squinted at the anxious and frightened girl.
"May I have your name?"
"Hebe, Hebe, the goddess of youth!"
The girl answered without hesitation, then understood the other party's concerns and took the initiative to explain.
"My mother and I were just touring the Holy Garden that day, and we happened to run into the attacking giants and demons. My mother was injured while trying to protect me. She asked me to escape with the token and ask you for help, saying that she only believed in you, and she stayed behind to hold off the pursuers for me..."
After hearing the whole story and confirming the identity of the girl in front of him, Loen's doubts were dispelled and his mood suddenly became very heavy.
Something really happened to Hera!
"By the way, they have now not only occupied the Holy Garden and the Golden Apple Tree, but have also liberated the rebel gods Atlas and Prometheus!"
The reminder from the goddess of youth Hebe made Loen's expression even more solemn.
A golden apple that grants immortality, and two leading elder gods?
Now, not only is Hera in trouble, the whole of Greece is likely to be turned upside down!
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, Loen made a prompt decision, lifted the blockade of the barrier, and shouted loudly towards the city wall.
"Admetus, immediately preside over a great sacrifice and report to the gods: the giants and demons have occupied the sacred garden. Free the rebellious gods Atlas and Prometheus. Ask them to summon all the heroes of Greece to gather in Thessaly and prepare for the descent of the gods!"
Upon hearing this sudden bad news, both the divine blood heroes from various city-states and King Admetus of Thessaly felt a buzzing in their heads and their faces changed drastically.
However, before they could open their mouths to ask, a figure outside the city spread its golden wings, grabbed the girl who brought the news, turned into a golden stream of light, and disappeared into the sky.
The sharp air current brought a biting chill, and everyone seemed to see an unprecedented storm brewing in the mountains and forests.
