I was a priest in the city-state era

Chapter 92 Perseus launches a challenge

Perseus didn't pay attention to Roy's words, and still looked at Pandion.

Because Perseus knew very well that the real master of the Athenian tribe was not Roy.

Pandion looked at Perseus expressionlessly and said in a cold voice.

"Perseus! I thought you were my daughter's suitor, so I treated you as an honored guest. Since your real purpose in coming to our Athenian tribe is to force the Athenians to submit to you Mycenaeans , then you are no longer my guest."

"Great Pandion, have you really thought it through?"

Perseus said with a serious face.

"If you reject our Mycenaean offer, there will be a war between the Mycenaeans and the Athenians."

"Even if you threaten with war, I will not give in to you. Now please leave my home and our Acropolis."

Facing Pandion's expulsion, Perseus did not give up.

He stood up, looked at Pandion with a half-smile and said.

"Great Pandion! Now I want to challenge you Athenians. As long as there is one Athenian who can defeat me, I will leave obediently. If no Athenian can defeat me, I hope you will make careful consideration."

"Perseus, I accept your challenge."

Erechtheus immediately stood up and said.

"You humiliated my sister, and I just need a reason to teach you a bad guest."

Perseus turned to Erechtheus and smiled.

"Young Prince Erechtheus, you are not my opponent yet. But since you are foolishly challenging me, then I will teach you a lesson."

After speaking, Perseus turned and walked outside.

After Erechtheus chased Perseus out of the hall, everyone in the hall got up and walked outside.

Roy, Pandion, Zeuxipper, Procne, Philomela, and the two little chiefs came to the courtyard outside, and saw Erechtheus and Perseus in the open space outside the courtyard. Stand off at a distance of ten meters.

While the two were confronting each other, the servant of Pandion's house brought Erechtheus' bronze spear and cowhide shield into his hands.

The two followers of Perseus also sent two bronze spears to Perseus.

Under everyone's gaze, Perseus showed a confident smile on his face, and threw the bronze spear in his left hand at Erechtheus.

A loud bang!
Erechtheus raised his cowhide shield to block the mighty bronze spear.

When Erechtheus put down his shield, Perseus had already rushed in front of him, brandishing a bronze spear with both hands to launch a stormy offensive.

Erechtheus hastily blocked Perseus's attack with the bronze spear in his right hand and the shield in his left hand. Although he was not defeated at the beginning, he was clearly at a disadvantage.

Perhaps Erechtheus himself felt that it was because of his hard support that Perseus was unable to defeat him immediately.

But everyone who watched the battle could see that Perseus did not use all his strength, which was the reason why Erechtheus was not defeated by Perseus in the first place.

Seeing Perseus playing with ease like a cat playing with a mouse, Pandion had a serious expression on his face.

Although Erechtheus has not yet grown into a hero [Hundred Enemies], his strength can surpass 50 Enemies.

Even Pandion himself could not suppress Erechtheus so easily as Perseus.

In other words, the strength of Perseus has surpassed that of Pandion.

Seeing Perseus fighting, Pandion showed envy in his eyes.

If Pandion still had the physique of his youth, he was confident that he could fight an unpredictable battle with Perseus based on his combat experience.

It's a pity that Pandion's body is no longer young. After he is over 40 years old, his body is getting weaker and weaker.

Perseus did not use all his strength to defeat Erechtheus at the beginning of the battle. His purpose was to show his powerful force to the Athenians.

After seeing Pandion's reaction, Perseus immediately exploded with a heroic speed, sending out a thunderous blow with the bronze spear in his hand.

Bang Bang!
The bronze spears of Perseus and Erechtheus collided.

next second!
Erechtheus took three steps back from the impact of the huge force.

Not only did Perseus not retreat, but he caught up with Erechtheus, and pressed the blade of the bronze spear in his hand against Erechtheus' neck.

"Prince Erechtheus, you lost!"

Erechtheus finally understood at this time that Perseus's speed and strength far surpassed his own.

Perseus did not defeat himself at the beginning of the battle, not because his strength was close to Perseus.

Wanting to punish Perseus for his beloved sister, but suffered the humiliation of being defeated in front of Perseus, Erechtheus uttered an angry roar, then threw away his spear and shield and returned to Pandion.

As the victor, Perseus looked at Pandion and said.

"Great Pandion! Can anyone from the Athenian tribe stand up and defeat me? If no Athenian can defeat me, please consider carefully before making a decision."

After speaking, Perseus stared at Pandion.

Clearly, Perseus wanted Pandion to fight himself.

As a father who loves his daughter, Pandion should indeed fight in person to punish Perseus who humiliated Procne.

Just when everyone thought that Pandion would fight, Pandion stood there without any movement, as if he did not see the provocative gaze of Perseus.

Zeuxiper immediately understood that her husband Pandion did not have the confidence to defeat Perseus.

Erechtheus is only the son of the leader, so it doesn't matter if Erechtheus loses to Perseus.

As the leader, Pandion is also the most powerful warrior of the Athenian tribe. If he loses to Perseus, it will not only deal a blow to the morale of the Athenians, but also shake his authority as the leader.

After all, Pandion's leader status was not inherited, but taken from the previous leader by force.

Seeing that Pandion did not dare to accept his challenge, Perseus said with a smug smile.

"Great Pandion! Since there is no Athenian to challenge me, please reconsider—"

Before Perseus could finish speaking, Roy brandished his battle spear and rushed towards Perseus like a swift falcon.

"Perseus, I will be your opponent!"

As soon as the words fell, Roy came to Perseus, and the blade of the spear in his hand pierced Perseus' neck.

Because Roy broke out at a heroic speed, Perseus stared solemnly and widened his eyes. While moving his body to avoid Roy's attack, he counterattacked Roy with his spear.

Clang!
Roy's spear collided with Perseus' spear and changed each other's trajectories.

As a result, Roy's spear failed to stab Perseus, and Perseus' counterattack failed to stab Roy.

After the first attack failed, Roy continued to use continuous attacks, suppressing Perseus and gaining the upper hand for a while.

Watching the battle between Roy and Perseus, Philomela said happily.

"Sister, do you think brother Roy is venting his anger on you?"

Procne's eyes were full of tenderness, and he nodded slightly.
