I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 339 Bendis and Helios
At the foot of the Eastern Rhodope Mountains.

The coalition forces of the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon tribe and the army of the Sun tribe are like two torrents colliding together.

The Moon Knights of the Amazon Tribe and the Sun Knights of the Sun Tribe fought on horseback, and most of them used wooden or stone spears as weapons, which were difficult to cause fatal damage to the enemy.

But as long as they knock the enemy off their horses, they can let their horses trample the enemy with their hooves.

While ordinary moon knights were fighting with ordinary sun knights, Hippolyta rushed to Aeetes with [-] moon knights wielding bronze spears.

Although the Sun Knights have a numerical advantage, Hippolyta believes that as long as they can quickly defeat the tribal king Aeetes of the Sun Tribe, the war can be won.

Aeetes obviously had the same idea, so when Hippolyta approached Aeetes, Aeetes also approached Hippolyta with a thousand sun knights using bronze spears.

"Hippolyta, let me see how powerful your proud queen is!"

"Aeetes! You will regret starting this war."

A loud bang!
Hippolyta's black horse and Aeetes' white horse bumped together with all their might.

Hippolyta and Aeetes on horseback also attacked each other fiercely with their bronze spears.

Clang!
The spears of Hippolyta and Aeetes collided.

Although Hippolyta and Aeetes are demigod heroes, but the sun god Helios is the strongest god in Thrace, so Aeetes is blessed by the sun god Helios and With the blessing of divine power, he is also stronger than Hippolyta.

In the first round of the battle between the two, Hippolyta was suppressed by the powerful force of Aeetes, and the spear in his hand was almost knocked away by Aeetes.

Seeing that he couldn't compete head-on with Aeetes, Hippolyta immediately changed his fighting style and wanted to defeat Aeetes with fighting skills.

But Aeetes, as a warrior ten years older than Hippolyta, has better fighting skills and combat experience than Hippolyta.

From the first round of the battle between the two, Hippolyta was completely suppressed by Aeetes in the battle.

When Hippolyta's strength began to fail, Aeetes was able to defeat Hippolyta without being injured himself.

While Hippolyta and Aeetes were fighting fiercely, Roy also entered the battlefield with [-] Iron Spearmen and began to unilaterally massacre the Sun Knights of the Sun Tribe.

The Iron Spearmen can use their sharp blades to kill the Sun Knight on horseback, or stab the horses with their sharp blades.

After a war horse is injured, it often starts to run wildly.

Once a knight on horseback fell off, he usually died on the battlefield from being trampled by his horse.

Even if the knight did not fall off his horse, he would be taken away by the wounded horse.

When Roy's Iron Spearmen joined the battlefield, the Sun Knights, who originally had a numerical advantage, immediately fell into a disadvantageous situation.

Seeing the Iron Lancers killing their companions like chopping melons and vegetables, more and more Sun Knights began to flee the battlefield.

If the Sun Knights participated in this war to protect their tribe, perhaps they could show the will to fight desperately.

It's a pity that the war Aeetes led them to was not to protect their tribe and family, but to invade the territory of the Amazon tribe.

In this kind of war, once one's own side falls into an unfavorable situation, morale will easily collapse.

Aeetes fought Hippolyta with ease while observing the situation on the battlefield.

Seeing the iron spearmen of the Kingdom of Athens inflicting huge casualties on his Sun Knights, Aeetes murmured with wide-eyed eyes in disbelief.

"This is the black weapon of the Kingdom of Athens? The damage caused by black weapons and bronze weapons is completely different. Our Sun tribe has just mastered the forging method of bronze weapons. The Kingdom of Athens has used black weapons that are one level higher than bronze weapons on a large scale. Weapons. It's not fair—it's so unfair, with a gap in equipment levels, how do we defeat them?"

Hippolyta saw that after the Iron Spearmen entered the battlefield, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the Amazon tribe. She smiled while stubbornly blocking Aeetes' attack.

"Aeetes, my prophecy is about to come true. The victory of this war belongs to our Amazon tribe."

"Our Sun Tribe will not lose."

Aeetes looked up at the sun in the sky and prayed loudly.

"Great Father God Helios, please use your brilliance to destroy our enemies and let us win this war."

Accompanied by Aeetes' prayer, Helios, the sun god with a sun disc behind him, descended on the battlefield in a gigantic figure with a height of one thousand meters, appearing on the east side of the Eastern Rhodope Mountains.

Looking down at the war on the ground, Helios said in a cold voice with no expression on his face when he saw that the Sun Knight, who had a numerical advantage, was being suppressed by the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon tribes.

"It's really disappointing that I need to personally help you win this war."

Although he was dissatisfied, Helios still shone with infinite divine light on the Sun Knight on the battlefield.

With the blessing of Helios' divine power, the Sun Knights all increased their strength and courage, and began to reverse the unfavorable situation.

Aeetes received the blessing of Helios' divine power, and even broke out an amazing divine power to attack Hippolyta, directly knocking Hippolyta off his horse.

"Helios—"

At the same time that Hippolyta fell from his horse, Bendis, the goddess of the moon, descended on the battlefield with an angry face, and stood on the west side of Eastern Rhodope Mountain to confront Helios.

"It seems that the battle of the gods between us is inevitable."

"Bendis!"

Helios said with a bright and gentle smile.

"My dear sister, do you really want to challenge your brother? You should bow your head to me, and let your beloved daughter Hippolyta submit to my beloved son Aeetes, and be loyal to Aeetes submissive wife."

"Although I don't deny our brother-sister relationship, I don't want to be your vassal."

Bendis gritted his teeth and said to Helios.

"I don't want to challenge your authority as the Sun God King, I just want to have independent power."

"no!"

Helios said immediately.

"All the gods of Thrace shall be part of my pantheon, and all the tribes of Thrace shall be subject to my tribe of the Sun. If you and the Amazon tribe are exceptions, the other gods and tribes of Thrace , will also give birth to the idea of ​​betraying me and the Sun Tribe."

"Then let's use fighting to resolve our differences!"

After Bendis finished speaking, he summoned a golden spear with his right hand, and then took the initiative to attack Helios.

Helios, the sun god, didn't move at all. He just burst out golden light and blazing fire like the sun, so that the moon goddess Bendis couldn't get close to him.

"My stupid sister Bendis, who gave you the courage to challenge me! Unlike ignorant humans, you should know that the moon's brilliance comes from the sun, so it is absolutely impossible for the moon to defeat the sun."
