Chapter 184 The Battle of the Overlord of the Aegean Sea Begins

While the city of Athens was intensively preparing for the war, the city of Knossos in Crete was also calling for soldiers to requisition warships.

As the overlord of the Aegean Sea, the city of Knossos claims to rule a population of about [-].

But the so-called is just a so-called after all, the population actually ruled by the city of Knossos is only 5 people in the city of Knossos and the surrounding area.

The population of the vassal city-states apparently belonged to Knossos City. Once the strength of Knossos City weakened, many vassal city-states would definitely break away from the control of Knossos City.

In order to defeat the city of Athens, Deucalion summoned [-] Knossos soldiers and [-] soldiers from the vassal city-states.

After the [-] troops boarded the [-] warships, Deucalion led the army out of the port of Knossos and sailed to the city of Athens thousands of miles away.

outside of Athens.

Three thousand soldiers, under the personal command of Roy, conduct combat training every day, making final preparations for the upcoming war.

While stepping up the training of soldiers, Roy sent people to patrol the waters of Athens on a fast boat on the one hand, and sent people to patrol the southern coast of the Attica Peninsula on a fast horse on the other hand.

this day.

Roy was training [-] soldiers outside Athens, when Aries suddenly rushed to Roy on horseback with a panicked expression.

Before Bai Yang's horse stopped, Roy asked.

"Aries, are the people from Knossos coming?"

"They're here!"

Aries jumped off the horse and said tremblingly.

"The large fleet of the Knossos has at least two hundred ships, and they are now landing on a coast twenty miles away."

"The people of Knossos chose to land on the coast twenty miles away from the city of Athens. It seems that they don't want to be attacked by us when they land. Since we can't stop the people of Knossos from landing, let's quickly prepare for battle and let them The soldiers all put on paper armor and took bronze spears, waiting for our enemies to come."

After Aries ran to carry out Roy's order, Roy was a little uneasy in his heart, although he was confident on the surface.

Because it can be judged from the number of warships of the Knossos, the number of soldiers in Deucalion must far exceed that of Athens.

two hours later.

Deucalion took [-] Knossos soldiers and [-] vassal city-state soldiers to the outside of Athens, and another [-] Knossos soldiers stayed on the coast twenty miles away to guard their warships. .

After Roy led [-] soldiers to confront Deucalion's [-] troops outside Athens, Deucalion couldn't help being surprised to see that Athens had [-] troops.

Because according to Deucalion's prediction, the city of Athens should have no more than two thousand troops.

Although the army of the city of Athens was 1000 more than expected, Deucalion was still full of confidence in defeating the city of Athens.

Before the war between the two sides began, Deucalion shouted to Roy.

"Loy, if you return Pandora to me now and become a vassal of Knossos, you can avoid this war. If you are still stubborn, your soldiers will die in vain, and my wrath will destroy Athens city."

"Deucalion, you are the one who is stubborn!"

Roy said without showing any weakness.

"If you really want to avoid this war, you should take your soldiers and leave my territory."

"You stupid guy, it seems that I have to kill you before you can confess your sins to the gods in the underworld."

After Deucalion finished speaking angrily, he led an army of [-] towards Loy's army of [-] like a tide.

After the two armies collided like two tides, the soldiers fought fiercely, and Roy and Deucalion rushed towards each other tacitly.

Clang!
The bronze spears of Roy and Deucalion collided fiercely.

Seeing that Roy's strength was evenly matched with his own, Deucalion first showed a surprised expression, and then prayed loudly.

"Great goddess Europa, please lend me your strength so that I can defeat the enemy in front of me."

Accompanied by Deucalion's prayer, a white divine light descended from the sky on the battlefield, turning into a goddess with a height of [-] meters.

This is a beautiful goddess with a charming figure, which is directly reminiscent of the Earth Mother Goddess. She has porcelain white skin, a delicate and perfect face, and a maternity radiance. She is wearing a sleeveless green dress with a red belt around her waist. , using two garland-like ornaments to tie her waist-length black hair into double ponytails, with a pair of small and lovely beautiful ankles bare.

Seeing the goddess with high ponytails like two horns, Roy immediately prayed to Goddess Metis for help.

"Great goddess Metis, please protect me and the Athenians, and help us defeat the enemy."

As soon as Roy finished speaking, Metis appeared on the sea in the distance with a huge figure of a thousand meters tall, and approached the battlefield with huge steps.

After Metis came to the battlefield, Europa said blankly.

"You are Metis, the patron saint of the city of Athens—does a mere snake dare to be my enemy?"

"Europa, snakes may not be incapable of defeating bulls."

Metis said without showing any weakness.

"As long as the snake keeps growing, not to mention defeating the cow, it can even devour creatures bigger than the cow."

"You are really an arrogant snake, then I will let you see clearly the gap between us."

Europa summoned a huge double-sided battle ax as a weapon, and then swung the battle ax towards Metis' body.

Metis moved his body flexibly like a snake to avoid Europa's attack, and then summoned his spear to fight back.

With the battle between Metis and Europa, the divine powers emitted by the two goddesses converged on Roy and Deucalion respectively.

Just as the city of Knossos is stronger than the city of Athens, the divine power of Europa is also stronger than that of Metis.

Deucalion was blessed by Europa's divine power, and his strength immediately increased dramatically. Roy could only dodge Europa's attack like Metis, and began to avoid Deucalion's attack.

Just when the balance of victory began to tilt towards Deucalion, a thousand-meter-high black mountain suddenly fell from the sky and smashed towards Europa who was fighting Metis.

A loud bang!
Europa raised his left hand to support the black mountain, and then asked angrily.

"Who dares to be my enemy?"

"As your enemy, what can you do?"

The voice of the goddess Mnemosyne sounded suddenly, and then her figure appeared to the north of Europa.

Although Mnemosyne did not attack Europa directly, she used the black mountain created by her divine power to press on Europa, which prevented Europa from using all her divine power to attack Metis.

Metis began to attack Europa, and Europa changed from the attacking side to the defensive side.

"You two nasty snakes have teamed up against me—"

Europa waved the double-sided giant ax with his right hand in embarrassment to confront Metis, while improving his divine power.

As Europa fell into a disadvantage in the battle among the gods, the divine powers of Metis and Mnemosyne simultaneously blessed Roy, and Roy also began to suppress Deucalion in the battle.

In the battle of ordinary soldiers, from the very beginning, Roy's [-] troops suppressed Deucalion's [-] troops.

This is not only because Roy's soldiers wear paper armor and use bronze spears, which have advantages in equipment, but also because Roy's soldiers fought bravely to defend their homeland.

Deucalion's soldiers were mixed. Not only did they lose to Roy's soldiers in equipment, but they also lost to Roy's soldiers in fighting will. They only had a numerical advantage.
