The Warrior of Love

"drink!"

Taking advantage of the opportunity when the Hydra was causing chaos in the fleet, Hercules quickly boarded the deck of a warship and swung his giant axe at the Atlantis soldiers who had not yet reacted.

hum!

The fierce blow not only split the enemy in two, but also cut a long crack on the deck, almost splitting the hull directly.

If it weren't for the fact that these warships used advanced technology and looked like wood but were actually harder than ordinary steel... this axe would be enough to cut the entire ship from top to bottom, right?

And this is just Hercules's ordinary attack.

"bring it on!"

Looking at the soldiers surrounding him from all sides, the man showed a belligerent smile, and the giant axe drew a cold arc, immediately setting off a bloody storm in this corner of the battlefield.

Soldiers came forward one after another, but just like the last time on the island, no matter how they attacked, they could not do anything to Hercules.

This is not only because of the protective effect of the lion skin, but also because Hercules' own skills and strength are far superior to those of the soldiers!

In a short while, all the passengers on the ship had been knocked to the ground, and he had begun to select the next "victim" with his sharp eyes.

"It's now!"

Jason did not waste the opportunity created by Hercules. The Argo, which was in tune with his thoughts, immediately increased its speed. It was already very close to the warships, and now it was passing through the gaps between the warships openly!

Some of the gaps were too narrow for the Argo, but Jason was convinced of his choice. With his indomitable courage, he completed the incredible task:

Move freely among enemy arrays that are several times stronger than you!

"This is bad."

On the flagship, Odysseus first saw Hercules, who was almost intact but had changed his weapons, and then he saw the Argo breaking through the military formation he had arranged.

Just when he was planning to regroup and maneuver the ships to change the formation, something happened on the battlefield on the other side that was enough to shake the situation.

That's Drake who broke through the defense of the Atlantis warship!

At the critical moment, she decisively abandoned most of the ships except the flagship, letting them crash directly into the Atlantis ship with flames in a familiar way.

boom! boom! boom!

Even though he had a heart of steel, he couldn't help but sigh after suffering a series of setbacks: "It seems that we have to prepare for the worst. Artemis... If things are impossible, I would rather be evaporated by the attack of the Moon Goddess than like this... God, request an indiscriminate attack!"

Chapter 1079: The Hero's Arrow

"This is?"

The combined efforts of the Argo and Drake have gradually turned the battlefield situation in their favor. However, just when Hercules was about to attack Odysseus in one fell swoop, a slight sense of crisis pricked his spine, causing him to stop as if by reflex, and he subconsciously raised his head to look at the boundless sky.

His wild instincts made him instinctively aware of the impending danger, but there was a certain existence in his body whose perception was even greater than his.

[Oh no, that's Artemis.]

Jiang Liu's voice sounded in the great hero's mind, and he reminded him specifically.

[It seems that the enemy commander has given up on annihilating us on his own and has even considered dying together with us.]

Hercules fell silent, his eyes looking through the flames and the soldiers surrounding him, to the man of steel on the flagship.

Odysseus also noticed his gaze. Although he could not see the expression under the helmet, he could feel that the commander's emotions were also getting excited and he looked back at him in response.

[Don't be impulsive. We must retreat in time. Even if we can survive, the Argonauts and Drake don't have the ability to do so. Moreover, even if it is a top-level spiritual base...it is too suspicious to withstand the full force of the machine god twice.]

"Understood... Jason!"

Hercules shouted the name of his best friend and captain without hesitation.

"The situation has changed. Take your men and retreat immediately. I will cover you!"

"What? We were so close to taking the enemy's leader... Damn it!"

Jason clenched his fists unwillingly as he looked at the enemy flagship which was only a hundred meters away. However, out of trust in Hercules, even though the battle situation was advantageous and they could have taken advantage of the victory, Jason immediately began to retreat in the Argo.

However, if you retreat rashly, you will definitely be caught by the enemy, so before leaving, you should use your maximum firepower to inflict heavy damage on them.

"boom!"

"Buzz!"

"call!"

Medea and Circe, the two great witches of the Age of Gods, opened fire at full power and displayed a jaw-droppingly powerful attack, like a gorgeous magic show at the curtain call. Only two people were able to fight against the main guns of ten battleships.

Its power was so great that even Jiang Liu and Hercules were surprised for a moment.

This was naturally due to the two men's superb magic skills, but in addition to this, external factors probably also had a great impact.

The concentration of ether in the Greek Lostbelt is not inferior to that of the Qin Dynasty, and it can be said that it is in the "Age of the Gods". In this environment, the power of treasures and magic is completely incomparable to that of later generations.

After all, the mysterious decline is not just empty talk. There is already a qualitative gap between the Age of Gods and the modern times.

In the twenty-first century of pan-human history, magicians like Medea are at a great disadvantage compared to other servants, but in the Age of Gods they have powerful firepower that surpasses the TOP level!

"Want to leave?"

Although Jason increased the intensity of his attack, the battle-hardened Odysseus still sensed the weakness beneath this madness and immediately understood the Argo's intention to retreat.

"Press on! Tie them up, and don't let them get away like this!"

His fleet had already suffered considerable damage in the previous battle, but after he gave the order, all the warships began to output at full power and at the same time roamed on the sea surface, trying to block the Argo.

"You actually noticed it?" Jason narrowed his eyes slightly, "With this kind of vision... who is the other side's commander?"

He didn't notice that the Eagle-winged Witch, who was still casting magic, had slowed down her movements at some point, and a rather strange expression appeared on her face. She frowned slightly and looked at the commander on the flagship in the distance in confusion.

"Could it be that……"

"Why are you biting me like a mad dog? It's so annoying!"

Jason complained as he activated his Noble Phantasm and began to sail at full speed, hoping to break out of the circle before the enemy completed the encirclement.

However, it was still a step too late. The Atlantis fleet, which had a numerical advantage, had two warships that were already nearby move to the breakout position planned by Jason first.

"Boom! Boom!"

Two thick beams of light hit the belly of a warship in front, instantly severely damaging it. Then, due to its slowdown, it collided with friendly forces behind.

Jason was about to fight to the death, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened, which made him stunned. But now is not the time to just stand there in a daze, so he took this opportunity to sprint with all his strength on the Argo, and finally broke out of the Atlantis fleet.

"Hey! Are you the captain? You have a nice ship, though it's not as good as my Golden Deer."

After Jason rushed out, he found that Drake, who should have gone deeper than him, had somehow walked ahead of him and broke free from the cage before him.

It seems that the one who provided cover for their escape through the earlier bombardment should have been this pirate leader.

Very good!

Jason breathed a sigh of relief: After all, it wasn't a wasted trip, at least I saved a friendly soldier. And... this is a beautiful lady!

"All that's left is to pick up Hercules."

Jason was about to ask Medea to perform a magic trick, but a black shadow fell from the sky and landed steadily on the deck of the Argo. It was Hercules who had just finished the battle.

Those soldiers and warships naturally couldn't stop him, but getting out was only the first step. If the Argo and Drake's fleet couldn't leave the enemy's field of vision in time, Luna's orbital cannon would still fall.

"Get out of here quickly."

After saying this to Jason, Hercules walked quickly to the stern, his eyes under the lion's skin fixed on the commander of the enemy fleet.

“I’ll create opportunities.”

As he spoke, a black longbow with an extremely exaggerated shape and as tall as a person appeared in the great hero's left hand. Even with Hercules's stature, he could only barely control it.

At some point, the dagger disappeared, and was replaced by a black arrow that looked like a dagger, with twisting patterns on its head that looked like flames.

Zheng——

Hercules pulled the pitch-black longbow and shot the arrow out in the blink of an eye, like dark ripples sweeping through the air, even faster than the speed of sound, and it had already arrived in front of Odysseus before causing a terrifying sonic boom.

"Buzz!"

A scarlet shadow appeared before Odysseus. Although it was a seemingly illusory energy body, it actually had the defensive power of a Noble Phantasm. It was not inferior to the legendary Blazing Sky Covering Seven Rings.

Ka!

There was no suspense at all. The shield was pierced in an instant, countless fragments flew, and the black arrow instantly pierced Odysseus' chest and then flew away.

Not only was there a penetrating wound, but the huge impact force that followed exploded violently. The nano armor on Odysseus' body automatically distributed the physical destructive force to various parts of the body to reduce the damage, but his whole body was still covered with cracks.

"Kerala..."

The helmet shattered as the crack spread, revealing a man with white hair and a stern face.

"—"

When seeing this scene, a certain witch's blood almost froze.

"Odysseus!"

Chapter 1080: The Great Whirlpool and the Fantasy Tree

"Odysseus? The commander of the Atlantis fleet is Odysseus? The great hero of Troy..."

"Yes, it must be him. I will never forget that pretentious dead face!"

"No wonder my aunt recognized her at first sight. After all, the Odysseus in the legend and her..."

"I don't care about that kind of thing anymore. Now I just want to give him a good punch in the face to make peace with my immature self back then."

"Odysseus, he is indeed a pretentious fellow. He was the most annoying person in Troy after Achilles."

On an unknown island, a group of people who had escaped the enemy's pursuit were discussing something in a makeshift camp.

Circe's face was full of disgust, while Cassandra's was full of disdain - both of them had connections with Odysseus.

Odysseus' name is believed to be widely spread around the world.

The great hero of the Trojan War, the origin of the Trojan Horse, one of the protagonists of Homer's epic, the commander who completed the greatest journey...

With the blessing of numerous halos, he became the most representative hero of Greece, just like Hercules and Achilles.

Of course, Achilles is recognized as the strongest warrior in the Trojan War, and Hercules' reputation is better than Achilles, so Odysseus is still at a disadvantage in terms of fighting power.

What is truly terrifying about him is his leadership and calm thinking as a commander. He is a man who almost never makes mistakes.

Although both had led troops into battle, Hercules conquered others through violence, relying on his personal charisma and military strength.

Odysseus, on the other hand, tends to use the most reasonable way to achieve the greatest results with the least loss, and is a top commander who is more in line with modern people's values.

Of course, excluding the heroic aspect, even in terms of personal character, Odysseus is a rare...even unique role model in Greek mythology.

Thinking of this, Jiang Liu, who was possessed by Hercules, raised his head, and the appearance of Circe was reflected in his light golden eyes.

Well, although her figure was a little off, it seemed to fit the Greek aesthetic of the time, and her beautiful face definitely made up for it.

Then she is not only a witch but also the king's sister. In other words, she is a princess and even owns her own real estate (island).

The key is that they can cook!

Such a woman who is almost perfect in every aspect proposed to Odysseus, but was rejected... Jiang Liu is willing to call her the "Pure Love God of War"!

Compared to Jiang Liu, Odysseus is more like the adopted son of the goddess of chastity (Hera).

"But Circe, you may not have the chance to take revenge."

Jason said with some pride: "After being shot by Hercules, it is possible that he is safe and sound. We don't have to worry about this guy appearing again in the future."

After hearing this, Circe pursed her lips and fell silent. It was obvious that she didn't think Odysseus had a chance of surviving.

Not everyone can catch the arrow shot by Hercules. Even a shield comparable to a treasure will be pierced mercilessly, leaving a big hole in Odysseus' chest...

“No, you can still see it.”

Unexpectedly, the one who was most confident about Odysseus here was Jiang Liu, who shot and wounded the opponent.

"Odysseus is not dead."

"what?"

"This is impossible!"

Circe was the first to object: "I saw with my own eyes a big hole blown out of his chest!"

"The eyes can sometimes deceive us."
