Chapter 150: Reinforcements From Both Sides Arrive

The commander-in-chief of the Mycenaeans was personally served by the white-haired King Acrisios of Mycenae.

Acrisios personally commanded a thousand soldiers from Mycenae, and another thousand soldiers from Tiezhen, under the personal command of Acrisios's brother Protus, king of Tiezius. command.

As the brother of Acrisios, Proteus was not only king of Tires but also a priest of the gods.

Acrisios served as the high priest of Zeus, and Proteus was the high priest of Poseidon.

Therefore, in the ancient legend of another world, Protus is a deified sea prophet who can not only predict the past, present and future, but can also transform into lions, dragons, running water, trees, etc.

Acrisios and Proteus had intended to end the war by evening, taking Sisyphus, king of Corinth, and his family prisoners.

Acrisios said with a serious expression after seeing that Roy's legions quickly killed and wounded a large number of Mycenaean soldiers after they intervened in the war.

"Proteus! It seems we are not destined to conquer the Corinthians today."

Proteus said in agreement.

"Brother! Our soldiers are exhausted from fighting from morning to afternoon. Now that the Corinthians have received assistance, we should indeed avoid unnecessary casualties."

The two brothers reached an agreement, and Acrisios immediately ordered the messenger to blow the retreat horn.

Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the Mycenaean soldiers who had been attacking fiercely immediately moved away from the city of Corinth like an ebbing tide.

After the Mycenaeans retreated, leaving hundreds of corpses behind, Loy did not pursue them with his soldiers.

Because Roy could not defeat 1,500 Mycenaean soldiers with 350 soldiers.

After confirming that the Mycenaeans had really retreated, King Sisyphus of Corinth came to Loy with more than a hundred personal soldiers using bronze weapons, and said with a warm smile.

"Dear friends! Thank you for standing on the side of justice and assisting us. On behalf of all Corinthians, I thank you for coming. Can you let me know your identity now?"

"I am Loy from the city of Athens."

Roy said with a faint smile.

"Dear Sisyphus! In order to aid the city of Corinth, we came as quickly as possible by ship. Moreover, I brought all the soldiers and sent no one to guard the ship. Now can you send someone to help us guard the ship? "

"So you are Athenians."

After learning the identities of Roy and others, Sisyphus enthusiastically took Roy's arm and said.

"Great Pandion is willing to help us. I really don't know how to express my gratitude to the city of Athens. Now I will send people to the port to guard your ships. If your ships are damaged or stolen, we, the city of Corinth, will compensate I will give you double the number of ships. Now—my dear friend, come with me to the Acropolis of Corinth, and let me entertain your distinguished guest.”

"Dear Sisyphus, please forgive me for rejecting your kindness."

Roy shook his head and said.

"Now that night is coming, the most important thing for me is not to enjoy your banquet, but to settle my soldiers so that they can eat and drink well and sleep well in the strange city of Corinth. After all, tomorrow, I will It will lead them into a more dangerous war."

After hearing what Roy said, Sisyphus looked at Roy with wide eyes in surprise.

"Young man, you actually value the soldiers so much, then let's eat and sleep with the soldiers together!"

With that, Sisyphus ordered food and water to be prepared for all the soldiers.

After nightfall, hundreds of bonfires were lit around the walls of Corinth.

The generous Sisyphus not only prepared oatmeal, white bread and other food for the soldiers, but also slaughtered hundreds of cattle and sheep so that the soldiers could share roasted meat.

While Roy was grilling meat with Aries and others, Sisyphus took his son Glaucus to the campfire where Roy was.

After Sisyphus and Glaucus sat down next to Roy, Sisyphus said with a solemn expression.

"My young friend! Although we defeated the Mycenaeans today, it will not be easy for us to completely defeat the Mycenaeans. Do you have any opinions about tomorrow's war?"

Sisyphus valued Loy so much not only because Loy was a reinforcement to help the city of Corinth, but also because Loy's 350 soldiers all used bronze weapons, which played a huge role in the war.

Roy did not answer Sisyphus's question immediately, but looked at Sisyphus and Glaucus with curious eyes.

Sisyphus was a king of about forty years old, and Glaucus was a young prince of about twenty years old.

In the myth of another world, Sisyphus and Glaucus are closely related to the Sun God family.

Legend has it that the city of Corinth was built by Corinthus, the son of the Sun God Helios, so the throne of Corinth belonged to the Sun God family. It was Medea of ​​the Sun God family who gave the throne to Sisyphus.

Sisyphus's son Glaucus became the god of the sea after his death and once pursued Circe, the sun god's family.

The city of Corinth has a legend that has a deep connection with the Sun God family, perhaps because before the sea goddess Amphitrite ruled the entire Corinth region, some Corinthians once worshiped the local Sun God.

Later, the foreign gods along the Black Sea coast were integrated into Greek mythology, and the Sun God family inherited the origins of the local Sun God and the Corinthian region - just like the incarnation of the Moon Goddess of the Sun God family, replacing the native Moon Goddess of Crete and becoming Minos The king's queen.

After coming back to his senses, Roy smiled faintly and said.

"Respected Sisyphus! Even if my soldiers and your soldiers are added together, the Mycenaeans are still stronger than us, so I have no opinion. Because our only choice is to rely on the walls of Corinth to fight a defensive war to make up for the gap in strength between us and the Mycenaeans."

"I think so too."

Sisyphus smiled and nodded.

"I came to you because I was worried that you would have the idea of ​​fighting the Mycenaeans head-on."

At this time in Acrisius's barracks.

Achrisius and Proetos were drinking alone because the war during the day caused 500 casualties among the 2,000 Mycenaeans.

Although the Mycenaeans were still stronger than Roy and Sisyphus, this war was a lose-lose situation and was not in the interests of the Mycenaeans.

Just when Acrisius was thinking of retreating, Perseus walked into the barracks.

"Dear grandfather! Pelops and I have brought a thousand soldiers from Tiryns, and I will personally join the battle tomorrow to help you conquer Corinth."

"Perseus--"

Achrisius said in surprise when he saw Perseus.

"My child, you are finally here. As long as you can help me conquer Corinth, I will make you the king of Corinth."

Hearing what Akrisius said, Proetus showed an unhappy expression.

Although Akrisius treated his grandson Perseus as his own, Perseus was not Proetus's grandson, so Proetus treated Perseus as an outsider and opposed Perseus becoming the king of the city-state that ruled the Mycenaeans.
