Chapter 370: Open the door and crack down on pornography! (4.8k)
Thessaly military camp, under the fluorite lamps.
The goddess saw that Lorn, the leader of the coalition, was hiding in the tent, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "It's good that you are here. I heard that Thessaly is in a state of disrepair. I brought a batch of alchemical materials that are in short supply here, the latest weapons and equipment shipped from Sicily, and some personnel for support in Ares Mountain."
Luo En looked at Athena who had come all the way here, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Is it worth it for you to come all the way here for such a small matter?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a chair and asked the goddess of wisdom to sit down.
"I'm free anyway, and I always want to do something within my ability for you." The goddess responded with a chuckle, her eyes revealing a gentleness like water.
Hearing these thoughtful words, Loen's heart warmed, but he also felt an indescribable strange feeling.
Sister Ya, tonight...
"Cough~" A slight cough interrupted the thoughts in Luo En's mind.
The smile on the goddess' face faded, and she sat upright at the table with a serious look.
"In fact, in addition to transporting supplies and manpower, I have two other things to discuss with you this time."
As soon as these words came out, a familiar feeling suddenly came over him, and the doubts in Loen's heart disappeared.
Well, this tastes just right.
Then, Luo En pulled out a chair and sat at the table, with a look of curiosity on his face: "What happened that even alarmed you? Tell me about it."
The goddess replied helplessly: "It's not a big deal, it's mainly related to the ocean gods, and it's not convenient to discuss it in Athens."
As we all know, the pre-Cretan civilization that prospered Athens was destroyed by the Temple of Poseidon and the Kingdom of Atlantis, and the feud between the two sides has a long history.
In addition, many Minoans fled to Athens, settled there and passed down their bloodline, so the relationship between the Athenians and Poseidon was naturally not harmonious, and many things were not convenient to be said.
Then, the goddess rubbed her brows, smiled bitterly and stated the purpose of this trip: "As you know, since a new war of gods is about to begin, the Oceanus Sea is the main attack direction of Typhon and his army. Therefore, some marine gods who have sensed danger can't sit still. They want to find an ally they can rely on to deal with this crisis together."
Hearing this, Luo En was slightly stunned, and answered subconsciously: "Then we should go find Poseidon."
"But the character of His Majesty the Sea God..."
Hearing these hesitant words, Loen understood what he meant.
To put it bluntly, the other side doesn't trust Eunuch Bo's magical products.
Then he asked with interest: "Who is the leader?"
The goddess answered truthfully: "Nereus!"
The Old Man of the Sea?
Luo En's eyes flashed, and he understood.
As a representative figure of the ancient Poseidon faction, this old Poseidon has always been very wise in protecting himself.
During the Titans period, he married Doris, the daughter of Oceanus, the river god, and Tethys, the goddess of the sea, and did not have his gold coins exploded.
During his time in Olympus, he sided with Poseidon and married his daughter to Amphitrite to avoid the fate of his father-in-law Oceanus and mother-in-law Thesis.
Now that the Olympus system has collapsed, the old gods have returned, and a new war of gods is about to begin. This old man in the sea who is good at taking sides and avoiding disasters has probably smelled the danger.
But among the many forces that appeared, Typhon was a ruthless evil star, and it was like throwing food to him; Kronos was not much worse, and was also not a good choice...
Originally, Poseidon, the god of the sea and Nereus' son-in-law, was considered the best supporter.
But the Battle of Crete and the experience of his daughter Thetis made him see the true face of Eunuch Bo.
In addition, the Olympian gods are no longer a whole, so if they continue to be bound to the Temple of Poseidon, there is no guarantee that the good son-in-law will not throw him and a group of ancient Poseidon factions to the front as cannon fodder when encountering a crisis.
After all, it's not like he hasn't done similar things before.
So, after some careful selection, Nereus thought of the popular Ares Mountain and his other good son-in-law.
——Yes, it is Loen, the current leader of the coalition forces.
Realizing his father-in-law's purpose, Lorne raised his eyebrows, looked seriously at Athena in front of him, and said leisurely: "It's not a problem to take them in, but does Thetis know about this? I want to hear her opinion."
Hearing this, the goddess couldn't help but snorted: "If she doesn't allow it, then you won't agree?"
"Of course!" Lorne answered without hesitation, with a sneer on his face, "Maybe they threw Thetis out as a shield, but can't I vent my anger for my wife now? There is no such a cheap thing in the world!"
"It is not a wise choice to turn away the best fighting force." The goddess said lightly, and there seemed to be some displeasure in her tone.
"If everything is about reason and gains and losses, then I should marry Zeus!" Loen rolled his eyes and complained unhappily, then snorted unceremoniously, "Besides, they are the ones begging me now, not me begging them! If they have backbone, they can just become fill-in babies under the command of the Sea God Temple and help Poseidon and me to withstand Typhon's demon army!"
Hearing Loen's novel and humorous words, the goddess couldn't help but cover her cherry lips and chuckle.
"Marry Zeus? How dare you say that!"
Then the goddess paused, hummed softly and spoke.
"Don't worry, Thetis has already agreed, so she specifically asked me to come and discuss this with you."
After all, they were her father and sisters. Even if there had been some unpleasantness, the sea goddess couldn't bear to see her former relatives become cannon fodder in the war of gods.
After hearing the official reply, Loen's expression softened and he nodded slightly.
"In this case, we can let them move closer to the coast of Thessaly. As long as they guard the flanks for me and monitor the movements of Typhon and his demon army, I guarantee that they will not be treated as expendable."
"Okay, I will pass your request and guarantee to Nereus as soon as possible. Once they are in place, they should come ashore to formally conclude the alliance with you."
As the first incident came to an end, the goddess's expression became more serious and she spoke in a deep voice.
"In addition to the request for an alliance, they also brought a piece of news: In recent days, a large number of sea beasts have been gathering towards the depths of the Chaos Sea like crazy, and they are constantly fighting and devouring each other. Even Poseidon's power cannot completely control them!"
"Is this the second thing you came for?"
"Yes." The goddess nodded, her eyes deep, "I think it is very likely that Typhon is integrating his troops. The demon army under his command and the giants under Kronos will probably launch a general attack soon, so I came here specifically to remind you to pay attention."
When Luo En heard this, a gloomy look appeared on his face.
What is coming will eventually come. I wonder if the two lines of defense of Thessaly and Athens can hold out.
Just as he was thinking to himself, a noisy sound came from outside the tent.
Following the sound, Loen stood up, pulled open the curtain, and looked towards the brightly lit military camp.
At this time, teleportation arrays constructed by rune stones and magic circles were humming, and teams of scholars from the Academy of Athens and Saints from Mount Ares were escorting large quantities of rare materials.
In the square of the military camp, various daggers, shields, spears, javelins, armor, and bows and arrows made by the craftsman god Hephaestus on the volcanic island of Sicily had already been transported to the scene.
Under the control of the second-generation goddess of justice, Astralia, the divine blood heroes and soldiers carried and received their equipment in an orderly manner.
Everyone who received the divine weapon had an expression of joy that was beyond words on their face.
On the battlefield, nothing is more reliable than these. In dangerous moments facing the enemy, apart from the teammates behind them, the only things they can rely on are the things on their bodies and in their hands.
Even after the war, these priceless objects of glory can become heirlooms and be preserved for generations; or they can be sold for a huge profit.
You know, Telamon's son Ajax the Great lost his life because he tried to steal the divine armor forged by the craftsman god Hephaestus after Achilles' death.
Although these mass-produced items are not as good as the artifacts Hephaestus made specifically for Achilles, they are definitely far superior to ordinary products in the world.
At this moment, Loen was surprised to see at least several thousand pieces of various divine costumes on the scene.
"So many weapons? Hephaestus must have put a lot of effort into it, right?"
"He's not alone. There are priests and craftsmen from the Fire Temple helping out. Even though it's a bit hard, he's happy to be able to help you."
The goddess chuckled in reply, then looked at Lorne with a softer gaze.
"After all, he and Aitai were able to be together thanks to your matchmaking."
Aite, who belonged to the lineage of the old gods, was the daughter of Uranus, the father of heaven, and the sister of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. She lived in seclusion in Sicily and was in charge of some powers related to forging and fire.
After the Golden Apple incident, Loen had advised Aphrodite to introduce a reliable partner to the honest Hephaestus.
So the god of love introduced his sister Aetae to Hephaestus.
Because of their common interests and hobbies, the two sides soon came together and gave birth to a pair of shining children named Palic in Sicily.
Hearing that Hephaestus seemed to be living a good life, Loen was sincerely happy for his godson.
But then, he looked at the goddess beside him with some surprise.
It's strange, how did Athena know about his secret matchmaking?
"Haven't you guys eaten yet? Hurry up!"
"Hey, you need to be quick!"
A burst of chirping and shouting not far away interrupted Loen's thoughts.
Looking up, he could not help but see that large quantities of construction materials were being transported by humans and magical beasts to the city walls that needed repair near the military camp.
In front of the running portal, Stheno and Euryale, who had snatched this leisurely task, stood by with black teaching sticks in their hands, giving orders in a domineering manner.
There were even a few flower and grass nymphs nearby who brought chairs and small tables for them, and served them delicious cakes and tasty flower dew.
Rather than saying that these two Gorgons are here to help, it would be more appropriate to say that they are here for a picnic.
But as the saying goes, "excessive joy brings sorrow", due to the reckless command of the two outsiders, several overloaded monsters had just climbed onto the city wall that needed repair, and the already shaky wall instantly cracked and collapsed, and large pieces of rubble and metal smashed down on Euryale and Stheno below.
Seeing this, Loen subconsciously activated the goat's super speed, flashed, and landed under the collapsed city wall. He raised his hands to hold up a spell barrier to block the falling bricks and stones.
When the aftermath died down and the smoke and dust cleared, he withdrew his divine power, turned to look at the two parasites who were standing leisurely there, and asked in a bad mood.
"Why are you two here? Are you okay?"
"Hehe, Lord Luo En, is he concerned about us?"
"You are so considerate to us, won't little Medusa be jealous?"
Not only did Stheno and Euryale not say thank you, but they lazily leaned back in their chairs, picked up their tea cups filled with floral dew, and made faces and laughed mockingly.
Anyway, they are immortal, so even if they are hit by falling objects of this magnitude, it won't even cause any serious injuries to them.
Loen glanced at the somewhat chaotic construction site, veins bulged on his forehead, and he immediately pulled the two female ghosts who were slacking off from their seats without saying a word.
"You're itching again, aren't you? Get up and get to work!"
However, these two evildoers not only did not show any intention of repentance, but instead took advantage of the situation and wrapped their arms around Loen's elbows, almost hanging on both sides like koalas, rubbing them up and down.
"Hmm, Lord Lorne, that's a very bold invitation. Do you want me to hold your left hand?"
"Then I'll choose the right side. Little Medusa has no place tonight."
The two little female ghosts who were keen on making trouble teased their brother-in-law with a smile, and took out the crystal stones they carried with them to record it, and then sent the material to their poor youngest sister for her to appreciate.
“Bang! Bang!”
But then, the iron fist of punishment hit Euryale and Stheno on the head one by one. The two female ghosts who were causing trouble each held their swollen heads, squatted on the ground, drew circles in resentment, and angrily accused someone of being ruthless.
"Damn it! I am a goddess who is loved by everyone. You are such an inhuman guy. You don't know how to be gentle with women at all!"
"That's right, Euryale and I are so cute, no man can resist our charm. How dare you treat two lovely goddesses so harshly? You are really a blockhead who doesn't know how to appreciate beauty. Your heart must be made of stone!"
Loen picked his ears and looked at the two "cute" goddesses with disdain. His gaze finally fell on the No. 45 steel plates on their chests, his eyes full of disgust.
"Tsk, no matter how horny I am at night, I'm not interested in two half-developed poached eggs."
An underdeveloped...fried egg?
Upon hearing the new adjective, the sisters Euryale and Stheno's faces froze. They looked down at their flat chests, and then under the tons of critical hits, the veins on their foreheads bulged like earthworms, and their delicate little faces were filled with resentment and indignation.
Bastard, do you know what cuteness is? Keeping youth in the air is the standard for a goddess, okay?
"Haha, fried eggs? I'm dying of laughter."
At the same time, Circe, who was holding a staff, heard the sound, poked her head out from the team beside her, and joined the mocking team with a gloating look on her face.
Yurielle rolled her eyes and retorted rudely.
"What are you laughing at? Aren't you also a poached egg?"
“…”
Circe's laughter stopped abruptly, her pretty face flushed, and then she held up the slight rise and fall that was forced out of her chest and argued angrily.
"What's the poached egg? I'm well developed!"
"Yes, yes, it's so good that no one wants it."
The eldest sister, Stheno, who has a more sinister personality, finished off the attack with a smile and spoke in a very cruel manner.
"But don't worry, we have tried your apprentice on you, he is great, very smooth..."
The nimble pink tongue licked Sakura lightly, and the delicate face revealed the unique charm of snakes.
With this slash of the sword, Circe's defense was instantly broken, and she immediately rushed forward with her fists clenched.
"You two shameless perverts, how dare you touch my apprentice! I will fight you!"
"Are you afraid, you silly bird? I'll pluck all your feathers today!"
"Haha, you're anxious, is it because you can't eat it?"
Seeing that three goddesses of similar size were about to collide with each other and start a chaotic fight, the iron fist of justice came down.
"You three, just do your work honestly. If you dare to mess around, I will throw you all back to the God of War Mountain!"
Astraea, wearing the Libra armor, rushed over and unceremoniously and forcefully suppressed the three restless little ones.
Looking at the fist as big as a sandbag and the shining golden armor, Steno, Euryale and Circe couldn't help but shrink their necks. They could only lower their posture and start working as workers.
"Okay, everything is fine here, you guys chat."
After Astraea restored order at the scene, she waved to the two of them familiarly, with a bright smile as if she had seen an old friend she hadn't seen for many years.
Old friend?
Loen's heart suddenly shuddered, he turned his neck stiffly, looked at Athena who was dressed in white beside him, and called out tentatively.
"Thetis?"
The goddess of wisdom in the moonlight blinked and smiled without saying a word.
And silence is sometimes the answer.
It was obvious that Athena standing in front of Loen at this moment was his legal wife Thetis.
They actually did a surprise ward check? Despicable!
Luo En patted his chest lightly. After feeling a little scared, he was also quite relieved.
Fortunately, he has been more self-disciplined recently, otherwise he would have been caught on the spot.
And at this moment, in Katniss's courtyard.
Cerberus, who was lying on the ground chewing a honey cake, seemed to realize something. He growled excitedly, jumped out of the courtyard wall happily, and ran straight to somewhere in the city.
"What's wrong with this dog? I'll go check it out."
Hera, who was chatting with her daughter Hebe at the table, shook her head and smiled, then stood up and chased after him.
