"puff"
Another centurion fell.
Holding a small shield in one hand and a sword in the other, Prince Paris was invincible. All the attacking Spartan warriors fell under the sword. The steps were covered with blood. He shouted: "Who's coming?"
There was silence around him. No one was a match for Prince Paris. Going up to attack meant death, but Sparta had no shortage of warriors. Several voices came: "I'll come."
Seven or eight more Spartan warriors rushed up the steps. Pei Ziyun threw away the broken bronze sword, and the attendant handed him a new bronze sword.
Pei Ziyun, who got the long sword, looked at the seven or eight Spartan warriors who rushed towards them, and also rushed towards them.
Seven or eight Spartan warriors held spears and stood in various positions in an instant, surrounding Pei Ziyun and stabbing him with the spears in their hands.
This kind of attack cannot be resisted by a single person.
"Shield attack!" A cold light flashed in Pei Ziyun's eyes, and he followed the shield, drawing an arc of light and hitting the seven or eight incoming spears, all of which bounced back.
Pei Ziyun bullied him and advanced very fast. The principle is very simple. The shield defends and breaks the enemy's formation, and the sword takes the opportunity to assassinate him. It flashes cleanly and neatly. In less than a moment, seven or eight Spartan warriors were defeated.
olympus
The gods looked at the scene in the Spartan palace, and saw that every swordsmanship of Paris was crisp and clear, and he killed all eight warriors in a blink of an eye. The gods looked at each other and turned to look at Ares.
"This is the swordsmanship of Ares."
The gods were thinking and listened to Pei Ziyun shouting: "This is the sword and shield technique taught by me, Queen Penthesilea, and it is also the sword technique from Ares. Which one of you still dares to use it?"
In fact, if there is no internal force, the Taoist method and the sword and shield method are more scientific and effective than the so-called flying immortals. Pei Ziyun understands this deeply.
Apart from anything else, a short shield can protect the vital points of the body effortlessly, but if one person wields a sword, he will have to spend several times the energy to achieve the same purpose.
However, the swordsmanship in Da Xu's world is not without effect. On the contrary, a master who can fight the world with one sword will simply have his power doubled after obtaining a shield.
This is just like a martial arts master who, once he obtains a modern gun, can kill his way into a city with a pistol alone - as long as there is no shortage of bullets and no heavy firepower.
Apart from anything else, it seems not difficult to kill an enemy with one bullet. In fact, only experts can understand this kind of horror.
"The small shield can save 78% of my movements and strength." This was Pei Ziyun's own assessment. There was only a "pop" sound, the shield only moved a few centimeters, a spear hit it, and sparks exploded, and then The gap popped up, the sword light entered, and a large amount of blood splashed out.
"Kill!" Not only did Pei Ziyun take action, Trojan soldiers also continued to advance. All the Spartan soldiers blocking the road fell to their deaths.
A Trojan centurion stepped forward: "Prince Paris, the Spartan palace guards are almost dead, but the area around the palace has been faintly alarmed. Citizens may take up arms and come quickly. We should withdraw quickly. To avoid being surrounded by them, even if they are citizen soldiers, we cannot underestimate them."
"Well, you are right, but our mission has not been completed yet. In this way, you lead a pair of soldiers and slaves to the palace to search for gold and goods, and try to remove as many valuable things as possible."
"The rest of us will follow me to the queen's palace to take their beautiful queen Helen back to our Troy to wash away our shame."
"Avenge your shame."
"revenge."
Soldiers and slaves roared.
Pei Ziyun looked at him sideways: "I don't know what kind of divine power the gods used, and the morale they raised is still working at this time. I wonder what these people will think when they calm down?"
"Is this the power of Athena, or Ares?"
"In the Da Xu world, if such power could be used on a scale of tens of thousands of people, taking over the world would be like cheating."
With this thought in mind, the army quickly arrived at Queen Helen's palace.
Pei Ziyun felt neither sadness nor joy at this moment. Aphrodite's pink power had been basically suppressed by the space and slowly transformed into his own power.
When I came here, I completely followed the "script" of the gods and took Helen back.
Entering the queen's palace, Pei Ziyun slightly let go of the suppressed pink power, and the flame of love instantly burned in his heart.
He saw Helen's face flushed and looked at him with surprise. He quickly walked to Helen, grabbed the hand of Helen, Queen of Sparta, and said: "Helen, when I was the goddess of Artemis on the island of Sisira, I saw you when a sacrifice was being held in the temple. From that moment on, my heart was completely captured by you."
"I will take you away now, back to Troy on the other side of the sea, and make you... just like Oenone, you will become my wife, Paris. You promise me."
Helen nodded happily and threw herself into Pei Ziyun's arms.
"Okay, Helen, let's go, I'll take you away now." After Pei Ziyun said that, he took Helen's hand and led her outside the palace.
Along the way there were robbing soldiers carrying large amounts of gold and goods.
At this moment, Pei Ziyun's heart returned to calm again. On the way back to the dock, he could clearly feel the gazes of the gods gradually decreasing until there were only one or two left, and they were no longer careless.
The gods gave up monitoring, and the "overall situation" was decided. Even the gods lost interest in continuing to monitor. Taking advantage of the blank period of the gods' monitoring, Pei Ziyun quickly sank into space.
The small hall was suspended in the darkness. Pei Ziyun's mind moved and he saw pink mist filling the hall, passing through countless statues. Unfortunately, neither the statues nor the pillars could penetrate this power.
"I feel that it is gradually transforming into my power, but the speed is not fast." Pei Ziyun is his true self at this moment, his soul body wearing Da Xu's Taoist crown.
"That's probably all the legacy I can bring out - just a little bit."
"town."
With a loud shout, Pei Ziyun pointed at the space, and the space shook. The pink power was swallowed up completely by the strong suction coming from the space in an instant.
My mind moved slightly, and I saw another marble pillar appearing. This pillar was not a pillar, but looked like the foundation of a temple. The pink power lingered on it and turned into a relief sculpture of a goddess.
Compared to the iron statue, the pillar seems to be made of copper and the relief is made of silver. After all, this is the result of Aphrodite's divine power.
At this moment, a trace of pink mist seeped out of the pillar. There was very little mist, but every time it seeped out, the system's numbers jumped.
"If it is divine power, I feel that my strength is increasing very quickly." Pei Ziyun sighed secretly in his heart.
"System." A plum appeared in front of me quickly, and it quickly zoomed in, changing into a data frame with a faint sense of light. I took a closer look.
"Heroic Bloodline: Second Level (161.3%)"
"This is not the time to upgrade." Pei Ziyun woke up. In the eyes of outsiders, in just an instant, the army quickly returned to the fleet.
In the distance, the city of Sparta was full of people, flames continued, and murderous intent rushed out.
Sparta, like many city-states, implemented a citizen army. In other words, citizens were the army. However, the number of citizens in the city-state was not too many. At its peak, there were only nine thousand (male) people. There are not that many now, and Mene Laos transferred one thousand away, and there were only three thousand at most in the city, but these three thousand were not able to resist now.
"Set sail immediately!" Pei Ziyun arrived at the fleet. Seeing that the gold and cargo were loaded, he decisively gave the order to set sail.
He had to flee Greece quickly and return to Troy. Otherwise, if he was chased by the furious Menelaus, he would inevitably have a fierce battle. Although he was not afraid of Menelaus, Pei Ziyun still did not want to fight with him at this moment. He's right.
I don’t even want the gods to take action.
"Yes, many times, the gods will personally intervene on the battlefield, such as deflecting spears, or lowering fog to block sight, etc."
“But these all consume divine grace—God’s favor is not infinite.”
"There is not much intervention that I, or Prince Paris, can owe."
"set sail."
The entire fleet quickly set sail, and the slaves rowed hard. After a while, the ship and the arrow sailed quickly towards Troy.
It was just that the fleet had just sailed to the sea. The sea was rough just now, but now it was suddenly calm, and everyone's expression suddenly changed.
With a "boom", a huge crack appeared on the sea surface, the waves parted, and the old sea god Nereus stretched out his face wearing a reed flower crown from the water, with water dripping from his white hair and beard.
The ships of the entire fleet were like nails nailed into the sea, unable to move any further. Everyone knelt down in fear, only to hear Nereus loudly announce a terrible prophecy to the entire fleet.
"Ominous birds fly in front of your ships, and the Greeks are coming with their armies. They will break up your sinful union and destroy Priam's ancient empire!"
"Oh, how many lives the Dardanians have to sacrifice for you! Athena has put on her helmet and taken up her shield! This bloody battle will last for many years, and only the anger of a hero can stop the destruction of your city. Destruction! Once the appointed time comes, the houses of the Trojans will be burned to ashes by the Greeks!"
The old sea god Nereus didn't stop much after speaking the prophecy, and quickly dived into the sea again.
The cracks on the sea surface were closed again, and the seawater turned into waves again, lapping at the side of the ship. Everything just now seemed to be an illusion that had never happened before.
"Prince Paris!" The people on the fleet were full of fear about this ominous prophecy. This world is a world dominated by gods. Even the gods said that there would be unknown things, and they suddenly felt that a disaster was coming.
"Gods directly intervene in human affairs." Seeing this scene, Pei Ziyun deeply felt the difference from Da Xu. Gods had descended before, but they still looked like humans. But this time, the parting sea and the calming wind and waves, Half of the body, which is more than ten meters tall, all of this shows the difference.
After hearing this prophecy, Pei Ziyun knew that Poseidon was not an alarmist. To outsiders, he seemed to wake up from his love. He said to the captain: "Quickly, find an island. I want to sacrifice to the gods."
"The whole ship turns."
The entire fleet turned and headed towards the nearest uninhabited island.
