Chapter 340 The Gods of Thrace
Although the sun god Helios only targeted Bendis, the goddess of the moon, the solar fire he released still caused environmental changes, causing the Thrace prairie to be as hot as a furnace of fire in early summer.

But this harsh and hot environment has not stopped human wars.

The moon goddess Bendis also stubbornly tried to attack the body of the sun god Helios with the golden spear.

Helios said in a cold voice expressionless as he watched Bendis, who forcibly endured the burning of the sun's fire and approached him step by step.

"My stupid sister, give up quickly!"

While speaking, a series of divine lights descended behind Helios, becoming the patron saint worshiped by other tribes in the Thrace region.

Gepelezis, the sky god of the Dacian tribe, Zalmoxis, the god of the underworld of the Geta tribe, Prestoros, the war god of the Apsin tribe, Candaon, the war god of the Kreston tribe, Su Zbelsuld, the god of thunder and lightning, Cybele, the earth goddess of the Phrygian tribe, Sabazios, the plant god of the Sabaz tribe, and Heros, the harvest god of the Xerath tribe.

These gods are all subjects of Helios, the sun god king, and members of the Thracian pantheon.

The Thracian gods stood behind Helios. Although they did not take any action, the divine power they radiated still had an impact on Bendis, causing Bendis to retreat away from Helios and Thrace gods.

While Bendis, the goddess of the moon, was suppressed by Helios and the Thracian gods, Hippolyta, who fell from her horse, was temporarily unable to withstand the attack of Aeetes.

Just when Aeetes rode up to Hippolyta and was about to put his spear blade against Hippolyta's beautiful neck——

Roy rushed to Hippolyta's side in time, and used his iron spear to repel Aeetes' spear.

"Queen Hippolyta, stand up quickly."

Hippolyta originally thought that this war would end with her defeat.

Roy suddenly appeared to block Aeetes' attack. Seeing Roy protecting her back, Hippolyta couldn't help but think of the scene of being protected by her father when she was a child, and an inexplicable warmth surged in her heart.

A loud bang—

The sound of Roy's spear blade colliding with Aeetes' spear blade awakened Hippolyta from her memories.

Hippolyta immediately stood up, ready to join hands with Loi to defeat Aeetes.

"You are King Roy of Athens?"

Aeetes said in an angry tone while swinging the spear blade on the horseback to attack Loi.

"Hippolyta is the captive and the spoils of my defeat. How dare you prevent me from getting her at this time."

Roy said with a playful smile.

"I don't deny that you defeated Hippolyta. You can think that I took your captives and spoils. If you want to get Hippolyta, use your strength to defeat me!"

While speaking, Roy suddenly stabbed Aeetes' white horse with a spear blade.

Aeetes' white horse immediately stood up to avoid Loi's attack, proving that this white horse has amazing intelligence.

Although Aeetes' white horse avoided Roy's attack, because the white horse stood up, Aeetes could not stay on the horse and was forced to leave the horse and jump to the ground.

Aeetes, whose feet landed on the ground, looked at Roy angrily and said.

"As a mighty demigod hero, you attack my horse?"

"I don't like being looked down upon by you!"

Facing Aeetes' accusation, Roy said without shame.

"Now that you are standing on the ground like me, I will naturally not attack your horse again."

At this moment, Hippolyta came to Roy and said.

"King of Athens, I will help you defeat Aeetes. Although Aeetes is the son of the mighty Sun God, it is impossible for us to join forces."

"Don't get in the way!"

Hearing what Hippolyta said, Roy immediately said in a cold voice with an unhappy expression.

"This is a battle between us men. As a woman, you just need to stand behind and be protected by me."

After speaking, Roy swung his spear blade and slashed at Aeetes.

Aeetes also used his spear blade to attack Roy without showing any weakness.

Clang!
Roy and Aeetes start a fierce battle.

Watching the battle between Loy and Aeetes, Hippolyta smiled with a complex expression of joy mixed with displeasure.

"What do you mean [this is a battle between us men] - how dare you look down on me as an ordinary girl, you are such an arrogant man. But the idea of ​​you protecting me as an ordinary girl doesn't really make me hate it ..."

After the sun god Helios suppressed the moon goddess Bendis, his gaze turned to the ground.

Seeing that the battle between Roy and Aeetes started, Roy suppressed Aeetes with a powerful black iron weapon, Helios immediately said displeased.

"My beloved son cannot lose to the sons of other gods."

After speaking, Helios injected a divine power into Aeetes' body.

Aeetes was completely suppressed by Roy in the battle because of the gap in weapons.

With the blessing of the sun god Helios' divine power, Aeetes' divine power and speed immediately rose to a level beyond that of Roy, and in turn began to suppress Roy.

Faced with this situation, Roy could only pray to the goddesses of the Kingdom of Athens for help in his heart.

[Patron saints of the Kingdom of Athens, hurry up and help me win this war. 】

After Roy's prayer was over, the goddess Mnemosyne, who was the closest, rushed to the battlefield first and appeared beside the moon goddess Bendis.

"Dear Bendis, I'm here to help you."

"you--"

Looking at Mnemosyne who came to him as an ally, Bendis said with a stubborn face.

"Even I can't deal with Helios' sun fire, what can you do?"

"Just like the flames cannot burn the ground—as the goddess of the earth, I can ignore the flames of the sun."

After speaking, Mnemosyne brandished a black spear and rushed towards Helios.

The fire of the sun of Helios turned into a blazing pillar of fire and fell on Mnemosyne just as it burned Bendis.

Mnemosyne's divine power formed a thick shield like mud around her body, no matter how burned by Helios' sun fire, the mud shield could not be burned and melted.

Seeing Mnemosyne approaching him step by step, Helios said with an ugly face.

"The goddess of the earth—one of the opponents I don't want to meet!"

"Your Majesty Helios, please let me deal with her."

Cybele, the earth goddess of the Phrygian tribe, immediately stood in front of Helios and summoned a golden spear to meet Mnemosyne.

Helios didn't stop Cybele.

Clang!
Mnemosyne rushed to Cybele like a lioness, and her sharp spear collided with Cybele's spear.

Just when Kubele felt that she was about to fight a close battle with Mnemosyne, under the impact of Mnemosyne's divine power, Kubele began to retreat step by step involuntarily.

In the history of another world, when the Thracians entered the Asia Minor peninsula and turned into farming peoples, the goddess of the earth, Cybele, would become the great goddess of the Thracians.

Now the Thracians are still nomadic people, and the power and majesty of Cybele naturally cannot match the goddess of the land of the farming people.
