Chapter 73 I'm going to start
If I remember correctly, this great prince of the Minoans would participate in the Panathenaic Games in Athens and win all the prizes, which aroused the jealousy of the young people of Athens. Then, the Athenians surrounded and beat him to death on his way to Thebes.
As a result, the Minoans and Athenians turned against each other. As the main god believed in by both cities, Athena could only watch this farce of fratricide unfold.
I don’t know if there are still shadows of gods behind this.
While Loen was thinking secretly, he inadvertently looked up and vaguely saw dense black spots floating in the bleak starlight under the night sky.
Wait! It's not a black spot! It's a large group of flying monsters!
As Loen's vision gradually became clearer, the outlines of monsters with human faces and bird bodies were reflected in his open purple eyes.
"Up there! The Siren!"
The loud warning from a clerk behind him made the eldest prince's heart, which had just relaxed, immediately tense up and he let out a low roar.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!
It's the God Blood Clan! Activate defensive spells immediately, quickly!"
In an instant, the message was delivered, and the magic circle used for warning on the watchtower was activated at the same time. The desolate horn resounded throughout the entire coastal defense line and spread to the royal city of Knossos in the rear.
Compared to amphibious sea beasts, these flying divine blood clans have the advantage of bypassing high walls and reaching the city-states in the hinterland of Crete.
"Hide! Hide!"
The troops remaining in the city saw the signal along the coast and immediately sounded the alarm and shouted loudly.
"Everyone, go inside immediately, lock the doors and windows, and don't come out!"
At the same time, a strong wind blew in the face, smoke and dust rose up, and the air currents swept in all directions, blowing through the houses and streets, leaving behind a sharp whimpering sound.
The residents of Knossos, who were originally confused, suddenly woke up as if from a dream and rushed into the nearby houses frantically with pale faces.
Previous beast waves were basically limited to landing from the sea, and this fixed attack mode made them subconsciously believe that as long as they defended the coast, the city of Knossos would be absolutely safe.
However, above the vast ocean, there are not only amphibious sea monsters, but also the blood clan of gods who can fly!
This sudden change immediately disrupted the Minoans' defensive rhythm.
After several rows of arrows with limited range flew out, they had little effect. Most of them didn't even hit the feathers of the sirens and were blown away by the chaotic air currents around them.
"Spellcaster! Spellcaster! Intercept it!"
As the eldest prince on the city wall roared loudly, the somewhat depressed priests and dignitaries had to drink potions to restore their energy, pull themselves together, and cast spells together, targeting a large group of sirens who wanted to cross the coastal defense line.
It is well known that these monsters with human faces and bird bodies can use their singing to enchant the minds of ordinary people.
If we allow them into the city and sing to the defenseless ordinary residents, the consequences will be disastrous.
At this moment, with the spellcasters frantically squeezing their magic power to intercept from a distance, dazzling beams of light pierced through the sky, blasting more than a dozen low-flying sirens into pieces that fell all over the sky.
However, as descendants of the gods, these sirens possessed a good IQ even though their bloodline had degraded several times.
Therefore, they immediately made mournful and shrill women's voices to disrupt the spellcasters' chanting, and at the same time frantically flapped their wings to increase their altitude and avoid the attacks from the ground.
Amid the constant wailing, the spellcasters suffered splitting headaches. The ground-to-air offensive and suppression suddenly became unsustainable.
For a time, there were serious gaps in the defense circle above the coastline.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, the archers and crossbowmen on both wings completed a new round of rest and reloading and shot arrows in time.
Although the damage was not great, this wave successfully angered the Sirens and caused them to shift their attention to the coastal fortresses below that were frequently causing obstacles.
“Eat them!”
“Kill them!”
"Tear them apart!"
The Sirens in the air chirped in anger and dived towards the coastal fortress on the ground.
The noisy sound mixed with mental attacks gave the defenders in the fortress a splitting headache, and the attack suddenly slowed down.
As the anti-aircraft firepower coverage weakened, the hovering Sirens took advantage of the chaos and swooped down, grabbing the soldiers one by one, and then cruelly raised their claws.
The consequences of falling rapidly from a height of hundreds of meters can be imagined.
Bags of flesh smashed onto the city wall, staining the ground scarlet.
Then, these Sirens were even smart enough to target the most threatening spellcasters, wanting to take advantage of their mental fatigue to hunt down these human-shaped turrets first.
"Shield up! Gun up!"
Seeing the chaos spreading, the eldest prince shouted loudly, shocking everyone's mind and making the soldiers subconsciously follow the order, gathering into a tight formation and moving closer to the surrounding spellcasters.
The Siren, who were ready to expand their victory, would not sit idly by and watch these humans stand firm, and swooped down again.
"Don't even think about it!"
Along with a crisp roar, a petite purple figure rose into the air, then spread a pair of bronze wings and swung them forward into the air.
“Shhhhhhh!”
In an instant, dozens of bronze bird feathers shot through the air like sharp arrows, smashing the hearts of more than a dozen Sirens in succession.
Under the absolute power, the Sirens' formation was completely torn apart, and they no longer dared to approach the area where the petite figure was.
They gave up their dense formation and tried to bypass the purple-haired girl who exuded a dangerous aura, preparing to encircle her from both wings and hunt down the weak ordinary humans behind her.
However, with a breathing space, the soldiers in the fortress have regained their footing under the command of the eldest prince.
The rows of impenetrable round shields and the long spears that stabbed out rapidly from the gaps made it impossible for the sirens that were about to attack to stretch their claws. Instead, they were caught off guard and stabbed to death two or three larvae below the gold rank.
It was quite funny that the dignified God-blood clan fell in the gunfire of their prey.
At the same time, the spellcasters who had recovered from their shock and saw that they were safe, finally demonstrated their intended effects after a short recovery.
For a moment, various rising defensive spells, enhancement halos, and temple suppression spells helped the camp on the city wall to stabilize the situation.
"hateful!"
“Damn it!”
"Dirty bugs!"
Not only did they fail to chew this hard bone, they almost broke their teeth. The angry Sirens retreated back to the sea in anger, cursing like shrews.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
The little Medusa in the air flapped her wings without thinking, wanting to take advantage of the victory.
"Anna, come back!"
Seeing this girl being so reckless, Luo En's face immediately changed and he shouted loudly.
Upon hearing the order from behind, little Medusa, who had just flown a hundred meters, paused, then flapped her wings and turned around obediently.
“Aaaaaa——!”
However, just as little Medusa turned around, a high-pitched monosyllabic chant spread from the sea.
In an instant, the people who heard the melodious song had their minds blank. They involuntarily put down their weapons, stepped over the parapet with dull faces, and walked forward.
“Gugu~~!”
Just as the bewitching sound was spreading across the island, a clear bird cry like an owl suddenly rang out, awakening the people around who were intoxicated by the enchanting song.
At the same time, with clear eyes, Loen snatched a javelin from a nearby warrior with lightning speed, stretched his body into an exaggerated arc, and swung it forward with all his might.
"puff!"
With a sharp sound of breaking through the air, the javelin pierced through the left hair of little Medusa and nailed a purple-red octopus tentacle covered with suction cups to the ground in the darkness.
