Why is my anime art style so weird?

With the help of the heroes, the Greek coalition quickly broke through the Trojans' lines, forcing the Trojans to retreat step by step.

Without Hector's command, the Trojan heroes, already itching for battle, charged forward and engaged the Greek heroes in a fierce melee.

However, the Trojans ultimately had far fewer heroes than their opponents, and their decline was quickly apparent.

A loud horn sounded, and Hector suddenly gave the order to retreat.

Just as the allied forces were about to give chase, a barrage of rockets struck, igniting a large pool of oil that had been poured onto the ground beforehand.

A fierce fire erupted, forming a wall of fire that forcibly separated the two armies.

Ordinary soldiers could not break through the wall of fire, so several impatient Greek heroes charged straight through it, only to be annihilated by the well-prepared Trojan army and the heroes as soon as they crossed it.

The Greek heroes were so frightened that they dared not act alone anymore.

Thus, the Trojan army, using the wall of fire as a barrier, slowly retreated, while the Greek coalition could only watch the enemy retreat with resentment through the fire.

Halfway there, seeing that the Trojan troops were about to retreat back to the city, the allied forces were still blocked in place.

The gods behind Greece couldn't sit still any longer.

Chapter 752 Goddess's Blessing (×) Cheating (√)

Boom!

Just as the Trojan army was halfway through its retreat, a cliff suddenly collapsed, followed by the deafening sound of hooves as an army driving chariots charged out from behind the cliff.

Faced with this suddenly appearing elite chariot force, the Trojan army panicked and fell into chaos.

Hector, standing on his chariot, saw the enemy troops suddenly appear and pounded his fist on the side of the chariot.

It would be impossible to clear that cliff in less than three to five years. With such a miracle, how could he not know that he had been tricked by the gods who supported Greece again?

And indeed, things turned out just as he had imagined.

Two days ago, the commander of the Greek coalition received an oracle from Athena, instructing him to lead all the coalition's chariots to land about five kilometers from the Trojan coast, where she would guide the Greek coalition to victory.

Of the hundreds of kilometers of coastline near Troy, only the section directly opposite the city was suitable for a beach landing; otherwise, one would have to go a hundred kilometers away.

The commander of the allied forces was the renowned strategist Agamemnon. Before the battle, he had already sent scouts to thoroughly explore the terrain around Troy, so he was well aware of the best landing site.

He was skeptical of the goddess's oracle, yet he couldn't ignore it.

So he could only lead the elite of the allied forces to the area designated by the oracle with great anxiety and wait.

Unexpectedly, after a sudden earthquake, the coastline, which was originally a cliff, collapsed and turned into a gentle slope extending to the sea, about thirty or forty meters wide.

Agamemnon was overjoyed and immediately led his soldiers to kneel and pray, thanking the goddess for her blessings.

The allied forces then gathered all their chariots, forming an elite force of about five hundred chariots, and landed on Trojan soil from this perfect landing point bestowed by the goddess.

Agamemnon followed the oracle's guidance and traveled onward, arriving at the location specified by the oracle—behind a massive cliff—without disturbing anyone.

This time, Agamemnon firmly believed that with the goddess's protection, the allied forces would surely be victorious!

Even though there was no suitable landing site nearby, Hector, in his spirit, still deployed a large number of scouts to patrol the area around the city.

But the Greek allied forces had already sneaked up to their doorstep, and whether it was due to the scouts' negligence or some trick by the goddess, the Trojans were completely unaware of this elite force so close at hand.

Even now, at the most critical moment of the Trojan army's retreat, this elite force has revealed its sharpest fangs.

Once the Trojans' retreat is blocked, and the main force of the allied army catches up, these 5,000 main force members will be in danger of being surrounded and annihilated!

By then, Troy, having lost its main force, would not need a Trojan horse at all to easily storm the city!

Even Xu Ming, an amateur, could clearly see the battle situation, so it was impossible for Hector and his generals not to understand it.

"Your Highness! Please lead the soldiers to break through the encirclement, and I will lead a thousand-man squad to cover the rear!"

"Let me cover the rear!"

"I'll do it!"

A general immediately stepped forward, and others also volunteered.

Seeing this, Xu Ming pondered to himself.

Despite Hector's usual carefree and slovenly appearance, he was surprisingly respected among his subordinate generals.

This further strengthened Xu Ming's determination to save Hector's life.

Without Hector, who would the Trojan army submit to?

Is it the elderly king? Or the minotaur boy who started the war and aroused the hidden resentment of the people?

Only Hector could keep these unruly generals in check.

Hector must not die!

With his death, the war is essentially lost by more than half!

Hector was a decisive man, and he knew very well that in this situation, every one of them could escape.

"it is good……"

Just as he was about to agree, Xu Ming interrupted.

"Don't rush to your death. This enemy force is outnumbered. I have a way to deal with them!"

After saying that, he nodded slightly to Erina and Puck, and then took out the Bone Bell and the Ice Rose at the same time.

Hector immediately raised his hand to stop the other generals who were about to speak, and said to Xu Ming with a sincere expression:

"Sir, I'm entrusting everything to you!"

Xu Ming nodded slightly, then shook the Bone Jade Bell and the Ice Rose at the same time.

A gust of cold wind blew in, carrying a lot of snowflakes, and the ground was immediately covered with a thin layer of white frost, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply.

Erina and Puck's magic surged, materializing and erupting, forming a layer of light blue, cold light on their bodies.

In an instant, countless icicles sprouted from the earth.

Each of these icicles was as thick as a man's thigh, and their incredibly sharp tips were all pointing towards the Greek chariot troops.

The Greeks were caught off guard and crashed straight into them.

The warhorse was pierced by countless icicles, blood splattering everywhere, and the horse neighed.

The soldiers on the tanks behind were thrown forward by the enormous inertia, flying through the air with their arms and legs flailing wildly before crashing heavily into the icicles.

puff!

The sounds of flesh being pierced and torn apart rang out continuously, accompanied by desperate screams of those on the verge of death.

Their bronze armor offered no protection whatsoever; their bodies were pierced through by sharp ice spikes, leaving them hanging in mid-air like skewers of meat.

In this single incident, nearly forty or fifty chariots were lost.

"Quickly! Retreat back to the city!"

Hector was overjoyed and immediately waved his flag, giving a loud order.

Seeing a glimmer of hope for escape, the Trojans immediately ran forward with all their might.

Just then, a golden light suddenly fell from the sky and hit the barricade formed by the ice shards.

Click!

The icicles shattered instantly, just like glass!

The Greek coalition immediately cheered, and the reins they had been pulling on were loosened again.

The tanks behind continued to crash into them at high speed.

Xu Ming sneered; he no longer held any expectations for the Greek gods' limits.

This is a bunch of arrogant sore losers.

At this moment, the bone jade bell in Xu Ming's hand was shaking incessantly.

Knowing that the gods would play tricks, how could we not be on guard?

As soon as the icicles shattered, countless white bones grew from the ground, forming another large barricade that blocked the path of the tank force.

The Greeks never expected this to happen.

Despite the Greek driver's desperate grip on the reins, the chariot behind him couldn't stop and crashed headlong into the barricades made of bones.

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out again.

Nearly forty more tanks were destroyed in the crash, and hundreds of Greek soldiers were injured.

Having wasted so much time, the Trojan forces had completely bypassed the Greek chariot forces' obstruction, and soon the city gates opened, allowing the troops to retreat into the city.

Chapter 753 Who is Helen?

Mount Olympus, inside the Golden Palace.

Athena's face turned extremely ugly. She slammed her golden scepter heavily onto the floor with a loud thud!

"Ha ha!"

Just then, Poseidon's loud laughter rang out from the opposite side.

Athena's expression grew even colder, and she suddenly turned to look at Zeus on the throne.

"Father God, we beg you to send down divine punishment to punish that heretic who does not revere the gods!"

Poseidon on the other side immediately cried out.

"Hey! Athena, are you a sore loser?"

Athena did not answer, but simply pursed her lips and stared directly at Zeus.

The atmosphere in the Golden Palace suddenly became subtle.

After a long while, Zeus slowly spoke.

"Athena, my daughter, you are too hasty."

He gave Athena a meaningful look as he spoke.

Athena's body trembled, and as intelligent as she was, she immediately understood the implied meaning in Zeus's words.

Zeus wanted to use this war to eliminate the demigods and heroes who posed a threat to the gods, so how could he let the war end so easily?

Not enough! The blood shed in this war is far from enough.
