I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 153: Copper Skin and Iron Bones
Clang!Clang!Clang!Clang——

As the battle between Roy and Perseus continued, Perseus, who was able to easily defeat Roy, now gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Because with the same strength and speed between the two, Roy was able to avoid all of Perseus's attacks by relying on his [Future Foretelling] ability, but Perseus couldn't avoid all of Roy's attacks.

During the back and forth confrontation between the two, Perseus kept retreating to avoid Roy's attack, and Roy also pursued Perseus closely.

Unknowingly, Roy chased Perseus away from the city of Corinth, into the siege of hundreds of Mycenaean soldiers.

The surrounding Mycenaean soldiers did not get orders from Perseus and did not intervene in the battle between Loy and Perseus.

Seeing that he had been completely suppressed by Roy, Perseus suddenly yelled at the surrounding Mycenaean soldiers in embarrassment.

"What are you waiting for? Come and kill him with me!"

Hearing Perseus' order, dozens of Mycenaean soldiers closest to Roy immediately swung their spears and stabbed Roy's body.

Even if Roy has the speed of a great hero, it is impossible to avoid dozens of spear blades coming from all directions.

bang bang bang bang-

More than a dozen bronze spear blades pierced Roy's body. Just when Roy thought he would be injured, the sharp bronze spear blades only gave Roy the feeling of being bitten by a mosquito.

Roy swung his spear around and pushed back all the Mycenaean soldiers who were besieging him. He was shocked to find that his body was not injured at all.

"Could this be the effect of Amphitrite's blessing [Copper Skin and Iron Bones]—With [Copper Skin and Iron Bones], the attacks of ordinary soldiers can't harm me at all."

In the past, Roy had never been able to understand why the great heroes in myths and legends could fight against one thousand or even one thousand without fear of falling into the siege of enemy soldiers on the battlefield.

Now Roy finally understands that the great heroes in myths and legends must also have [copper skin and iron bones], so the great heroes can ignore ordinary soldiers on the battlefield.

Seeing that the attack of the Mycenaean soldiers could not hurt Roy's body, Perseus said enviously and angrily.

"Roy, you are actually a great hero with [Copper Skin and Iron Bone]?"

"Perseus! You will have this kind of reaction, it seems that you don't have [Copper Skin and Iron Bone]."

Roy said while waving his spear to push back the surrounding Mycenaean soldiers.

"Although these ordinary soldiers can hinder me, you can't use them to defeat me."

"You are really arrogant!"

Perseus said with a sneer.

"They can hinder you, which is enough for me to seize the opportunity to kill you. After all, your [Copper Skin and Iron Bones] can only defend against the attacks of ordinary soldiers, and cannot stop the attacks of a great hero like me."

After speaking, Perseus swung his spear and stabbed Roy.

The surrounding Mycenaean soldiers also attacked Roy.

Facing the attack from Perseus and dozens of Mycenaean soldiers, Roy could only choose to use his body to resist the attack of the Mycenaean soldiers while confronting Perseus head-on.

It was noon in a blink of an eye.

Dark clouds hung over the sky, indicating that a heavy rain could fall at any moment.

Under the siege of Perseus and hundreds of Mycenaean soldiers, although Roy was not defeated, he could not defeat Perseus under the obstruction of hundreds of Mycenaean soldiers.

The war between the Corinthians and the Mycenaeans also fell into a stalemate where it was difficult to tell the winner.

At the end of this war, I am afraid that both the Corinthians and the Mycenaeans will lose.

This was neither the result that Sisyphus, king of Corinth, nor Acrisios, king of Mycenae, wanted.

Just then, Harmonia appeared north of Corinth with an army of 500 men.

The Theban soldiers in Harmonia, like the Athenian soldiers in Roy, each wore paper armor and used bronze spears as weapons.

Standing on a small hill overlooking the battlefield, seeing Roy being besieged by Perseus and hundreds of Mycenaean soldiers, Harmonia immediately raised his spear with his right hand and said.

"My soldiers! Now my future husband is being besieged by the enemy, so we must destroy these Mycenaeans immediately, and everyone will attack with me."

After speaking, Harmonia took the lead and rushed to the battlefield.

The Corinthians and the Mycenaeans were originally in a state of close victory. At this time, Harmonia brought [-] soldiers in paper armor and bronze weapons to participate in the battle, which directly broke the balance of power between the two warring parties, and the balance of victory Leaning entirely towards the Corinthians.

Although King Acrisios of Mycenae did not personally participate in the battle, he has been observing the battlefield.

Seeing Harmonia appearing with the Thebes army, Acrisius immediately judged that Harmonia was the reinforcement of Corinth City, and then ordered to the messenger.

"Blow the horn to retreat!"

woo woo woo woo--

Hearing the sound of the horn, the Mycenaean army left the battlefield like the ebb tide.

By the time Harmonia entered the battlefield with the Thebes army, the Mycenaean army had already left the battlefield, leaving only hundreds of corpses.

"Honey!"

Harmonia hurried to Roy's side, and asked with concern while looking at Roy.

"Just now I saw you being besieged by many people, were you injured?"

"I'm not hurt!"

Roy said with a smile.

"Harmonia, although I knew you would come to aid Corinth City, I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"Because I want to see you soon!"

Harmonia turned his head, looked at the camp of the Mycenaean army and said.

"Now let's hunt down your enemies, and destroy them all in one go!"

Roy immediately shook his head and said.

"I also want to hunt down the Mycenaeans, but I don't want to lose both with the Mycenaeans."

With [-] soldiers from Harmonia participating in the battle, on the surface, Roy's side has an absolute advantage.

But Roy knew that Harmonia must have rushed over from land, so the Thebes soldiers must be very tired.

And the overcast sky has started to rain.

Once it rains heavily, the paper armor on the soldiers of Athens and Thebes will change from armor to burden.

"Harmonia! Your Thebes soldiers must be very tired, and the rain will make the paper armor a heavy burden, so we will fight the Mycenaeans tomorrow."

Harmonia nodded obediently and said.

"I follow your arrangement in everything."

Looking at Harmonia who obeyed him like a wife obeys her husband, Roy took the initiative to hug Harmonia's waist with his left hand, brought her to Sisyphus and Glaucus and said.

"Sisyphus! Let me introduce you. She is the leader of Harmonia in Thebes. Harmonia, this is Sisyphus, king of Corinth, and the young man next to him is Sisyphus's son. Son Prince Glaucus."

After Roy's introduction, Sisyphus looked at Roy and Harmonia who were hugging each other, and couldn't help asking.

"Roy! I heard that you have a marriage contract with Pandion's daughter, so what is your relationship with Harmonia?"
