I really didn't want to burn it.

Persephone muttered to himself, "How dare someone rebel against his own father in Greece?"

In Persephone's mind, only a madman would choose to do such a thing.

Leon wasn't crazy, but he had no intention of explaining it to Persephone.

"All troops, attack! Target: that old hag Persephone!"

Ying Zheng glared at Li Ang, "Li Ang, this is my army."

"Then, Lao Zheng, please."

Li Ang made a gesture as if sending away the plague god.

Ying Zheng pretended not to see it. With a wave of his hand, the terracotta warriors charged towards the army of the underworld, shouting battle cries.

"Hmph, how dare a mere puppet launch an attack on the army of the Underworld!"

Persephone let out a disdainful sneer.

Although she disliked the underworld, she had full confidence in Hades's army.

These soldiers may not be able to fight against the gods, but they are definitely the best army.

Li Ang actually dared to bring clay figurines to fight against this army; he must be tired of living.

Thus, war broke out between the Greek underworld army and the Qin expeditionary force stationed in Greece.

The Greek underworld army was the first to launch the attack, forming a square formation and slowly charging towards the Qin Terracotta Army.

What greeted them was a line of terracotta warriors and cavalry on the plain.

"Hmph, barbarians from other lands are barbarians from other lands. They can't even form a square formation, and they don't even use chariots."

The soldiers of the underworld gave the cavalrymen in front of them a disdainful smile.

In the eyes of the Greeks, cavalrymen riding directly on horseback must have been clumsy.

Unless everyone is a top-notch warrior like Hercules, they will only be stabbed down by spearmen.

After all, in the minds of the Greeks at that time, it was simply impossible for a person to ride a horse and launch an attack at the same time.

"Idiot, only chariots can bring out the full potential of warhorses' mobility and human combat effectiveness."

The commander of the underworld soldiers just wanted to laugh out loud three times.

But his smile quickly froze, and his astonished expression was comparable to that of Prime Minister Cao.

Leaving aside the complex terrain, in the vast plains outside the Queen's palace, the cavalry carried out a one-sided massacre of the pikemen phalanx.

As a seasoned time traveler, Li Ang had naturally told Ying Zheng how to deal with such a heavy infantry formation long ago.

Ying Zheng was fully aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the spear formation.

Combined with the Terracotta Army's incredibly convenient operating system—Ying Zheng directly manipulated the system with his mind—he demonstrated a hand speed, or rather, a brain speed, far surpassing that of professional StarCraft players.

He efficiently utilized the cavalry's high-speed mobility, the Qin crossbow's long-range killing power, and the magical enhancement buffs that Li Ang and Ying Zheng bestowed upon the terracotta warriors, turning this army into a veritable killing machine.

Within visual range, these Qin terracotta warriors can easily eliminate any target from the underworld army.

Unfortunately, while the Greek phalanx of spearmen was formidable, it was far too bulky and moved as slowly as a tortoise.

Even though the soldiers of the Underworld Army were much better at moving than ordinary people, Ying Zheng's Terracotta Army moved even faster.

In the age of chariots, such a phalanx was virtually invincible in positional defense, but it was nothing more than a sitting duck against cavalrymen with the added bonus of a full set of horse tack.

Perhaps some skilled soldiers could effectively dodge the crossbow bolts in the few seconds they were aimed at, and the more capable ones could even catch the incoming arrows and throw them back.

Unfortunately, this is a large-scale battlefield, and when performing acrobatic evasive maneuvers, the first difficulty is the densely packed comrades around you.

Colliding with a comrade nearby and disrupting the entire formation... that's far more dangerous than the death of one person.

Moreover, even if this agile soldier dodged the first arrow, he was met with more crossbow bolts during the brief pause in his evasive maneuver.

Thus, an invisible, yet insurmountable, dead end was formed between the underworld army and the Qin army.

"Defense! Defense!"

Seeing that his soldiers were about to be killed by the Qin army's kite-like tactics, the commander of the Underworld Army had no choice but to switch the formation to defensive mode.

Unfortunately, the Terracotta Army's operational efficiency was far superior to that of the underworld soldiers.

The Underworld Army needed superiors to relay orders, and subordinates could only carry them out after receiving them; but Ying Zheng only needed to use his brain.

Therefore, when the Ming army changed its formation and the square formation was at its weakest, Ying Zheng directly ordered his infantry to launch a rapid charge.

The swift and decisive actions of the Qin Terracotta Army demonstrated what it means to be a king of cold weapon legions; they completely tore apart the lines of the underworld soldiers.

"This war is... truly pitiful."

Li Ang sighed with a sorrowful expression, his compassionate demeanor so convincing that he was practically smoking a cigarette.

"Hmph. When it comes to military formations, Qin will never lose." Ying Zheng said matter-of-factly, "The ancient phalanx that even the Romans don't use is still being used by these Greeks. They deserve it."

"That's true. Wait... you've already made it to Rome?"

Li Ang was speechless at Ying Zheng's words.

"No, the supply line is too long."

"So I bothered them for a bit and then left."

"..."

Li Ang had serious doubts. If Qin Shi Huang continued to play his game like this, would the world really turn into something like Lostbelt 2.3, where Qin Shi Huang unified the entire world?

On the other side, as the Underworld army's lines collapsed, Persephone could no longer hold back.

She radiated divine power and was determined to fight Li Ang to the death.

"Li Ang! You damned alien god."

Li Ang, who was singled out by the Queen of the Underworld, picked his nose indifferently.

"Whether you sleep with this woman or I do, I'll sleep with her."

"Go ahead, I'm no longer interested in her while she's alive." Ying Zheng sneered. "I'm more interested in studying the corpses of dead gods now."

Unfortunately, Ying Zheng's wish did not come true.

As Persephone swooped down, three gods suddenly appeared and subdued her.

"Minos! Rhadamanthus! Aiacos!"

Persephone immediately recognized the three men as her husband's subordinates, judges of the dead in the underworld.

Of course, the three of them also had another identity: like Persephone, they were all children of Zeus.

That's why Persephone was not convinced after being subdued by them, and she still shouted at the three of them.

"Are you three trying to rebel? Believe me or not, I'll tell my husband and father on you!"

"I'm sorry, but this is the order given to us by Lord Hades," Aiacos said expressionlessly.

Radamanthys was even more straightforward; he simply laughed.

"Lord Hades said that your behavior is a disgrace to the King of the Underworld, and you should seriously consider your marriage."

"How dare he...!"

Persephone doubted that he had heard correctly.

The husband who used to dote on her so much actually wants to reconsider their marriage?

The fact that the sycophant who had always been subservient had suddenly become assertive was a stark contrast that Persephone found unacceptable.

But the three judges had no intention of wasting words with their older sister.

Minos and Rhadamanthus immediately lifted Persephone and headed outside.

For the underworld, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a chance to finally get rid of this annoying woman.

For the three of them and their king, they had been waiting for this day for almost several hundred years.

We've finally made it through!

"Let me go! You two bastards! I'm going to tell Dad...you..."

Aiacos, who remained where he was, seemed not to have heard his sister's vulgar words at all. He bowed respectfully to Li Ang and Ying Zheng.

"Gentlemen, my master, Lord Hades, requests your presence."

Li Ang and Ying Zheng exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt flashing in their eyes.

"What's going on with your Hades?"

The other party smiled and said, "Lord Li Ang, my master will explain to you when you meet him."

Seeing that Aiacos said this, Li Ang had no choice but to take Ying Zheng and Zhang Liang and follow him.

Soon, Aiacos led the three through the Queen of the Underworld's palace and arrived at a side hall.

Hades, the god of the underworld, was already sitting there. When he saw Li Ang walk in, he spoke directly.

"Li Ang, please have a seat."

Just as Li Ang was about to sit down, he suddenly realized something upon hearing this and quickly stood up again.

"Hmm...no need, I'll just stand."

Hades didn't insist; he poured Li Ang a glass of wine and handed it to him.

"I want to thank you."

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for getting rid of that bitch."

Hades said with a smile, his words filled with the joy of liberation.

"That's strange. Didn't you like Persephone a lot? You even went so far as to snatch her back from the human world."

Li Ang voiced his question.

Hades's face immediately darkened, and he explained in a tone that was both disdainful and angry.

"That was Zeus's doing!"

"In the past, Zeus, in order to strengthen his control over the underworld, not only sent his three sons to me as judges, but also forced me to marry Persephone!"

"I already had someone I liked, so I rejected them directly."

"As a result, my younger brother actually transformed into my appearance and kidnapped Persephone, then went around spreading rumors that I had stolen her daughter and was forcing me to marry her!"

"puff------!"

Li Ang spat it out.

"What the fuck?!"

PS1: After much pleading last night, the condition for an extra chapter was finally met, and so this chapter was born.

Ah, there's really no author like Mimi who cries and begs for more chapters; it's so heartbreaking. _(:з」∠)_

PS2: Minos, Rhadamanthus, and Aiacos were all children of Zeus. They were kings in life, and because of their fairness and impartiality, they became judges of the underworld after death. They were each responsible for judging the thoughts, words, and actions of souls.

PS3: The story about Zeus impersonating Hades and abducting Persephone is Mimi-chan's own creation; please don't take it seriously. 2333

Let me explain the origin of this idea.

Actually, in the earliest versions of mythology and sculpture—note, the earliest.

Zeus was actually three-faced; he ruled over the sky, the earth, and the underworld simultaneously.

In the myth, it was indeed Zeus who abducted Persephone, but it was the Zeus from the underworld.

Later, Zeus of the underworld was divided into Hades, who inherited the myths about Zeus of the underworld.

In fact, in the myths associated with Persephone, her two children were still Zeus's children.

Even her daughter Melinnoe was born after Zeus actively sought her out and had her born, after she became the Queen of the Underworld.

Looking at it this way, the relationship between Zeus and Persephone is actually quite delicate, and Hades really seems to have a very unfortunate situation. →_→

However, to get the book approved, Mi-chan set the story as Hades and Persephone's marriage being purely political. _(:з」∠)_
