Chapter 153: One Man Against a Thousand

Clang! Clang! Clang! Qiang——

As the battle between Roy and Perseus continued, Perseus, who could easily defeat Roy, now gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Because when the two have the same strength and speed, Roy can rely on the ability to predict the future to avoid all attacks of Perseus, but Perseus cannot avoid all attacks of Roy.

In the back-and-forth confrontation between the two, Perseus kept retreating to avoid Roy's attacks, and Roy also pursued Perseus.

Unknowingly, Loy chased Perseus away from the city of Corinth and into the midst of hundreds of Mycenaean soldiers.

The surrounding Mycenaean soldiers did not receive orders from Perseus and did not intervene in the battle between Loy and Perseus.

Seeing that he had been completely suppressed by Roy, Perseus suddenly became angry and shouted at the surrounding Mycenaean soldiers.

"What are you waiting for? Come and kill him with me!"

Upon hearing Perseus's order, dozens of Mycenaean soldiers closest to Roy immediately swung their spears and stabbed Roy in the body.

Even if Roy had the speed of a great hero, it would be impossible to avoid dozens of spear blades coming from all directions.

Bang bang bang bang bang——

The blades of more than a dozen bronze war spears pierced Roy's body. Just when Roy thought he would be injured, the sharp bronze spear blades only gave Roy's body the feeling of being bitten by a mosquito.

Roy waved his spear in a circle and pushed back all the Mycenaean soldiers who besieged him. He was shocked to find that his body was not injured at all.

"Could this be the effect of Amphitrite's blessing [Copper Skin Iron Bone] - with [Copper Skin Iron Bone], the attacks of ordinary soldiers cannot harm me at all."

In the past, Roy had never been able to understand why the great heroes in myths and legends could fight one against a thousand or even one against ten thousand without fear of being surrounded by enemy soldiers on the battlefield.

Now Roy finally understands that the great heroes in myths and legends must also have [copper skin and iron bones], so the great heroes can ignore ordinary soldiers on the battlefield.

Seeing that the Mycenaean soldiers' attacks could not harm Roy's body, Perseus said with both envy and anger.

"Roy, you are actually a great hero with [copper skin and iron bones]?"

"Perseus! You have such a reaction. It seems that you do not have [copper skin and iron bones]."

Roy said while waving his spear to repel the surrounding Mycenaean soldiers.

"Although these ordinary soldiers can cause some hindrance to me, you cannot use them to defeat me."

"You are so arrogant!"

Perseus said with a sneer.

"The fact that they can hinder you is enough for me to seize the opportunity to kill you. After all, your [copper skin and iron bones] can only defend against the attacks of ordinary soldiers, but they cannot block the attacks of a great hero like me."

After speaking, Perseus swung his war spear and stabbed Roy.

The surrounding Mycenaean soldiers also attacked Roy.

Facing attacks from Perseus and dozens of Mycenaean soldiers, Roy could only choose to use his body to resist the Mycenaean soldiers' attacks while engaging in a head-on confrontation with Perseus.

It was noon in a blink of an eye.

Dark clouds cover the sky, indicating that a heavy rain may fall at any time.

Under siege by Perseus and hundreds of Mycenaean soldiers, although Loy was not defeated, he was unable to defeat Perseus despite the obstruction of hundreds of Mycenaean soldiers.

The war between the Corinthians and the Mycenaeans also fell into a stalemate where it was difficult to decide the winner.

In the end, this war will probably end in defeat for both the Corinthians and Mycenaeans.

This was neither the result that King Sisyphus of Corinth wanted nor the result that King Acrisios of Mycenae wanted.

At this moment, Harmonia appeared to the north of the city of Corinth with a legion of five hundred men.

The Theban soldiers of Harmonia, like the Athenian soldiers of Loy, each wore paper armor and used bronze war spears as weapons.

Standing on a hill overlooking the battlefield, and seeing Roy being besieged by Perseus and hundreds of Mycenaean soldiers, Harmonia immediately raised her war spear with her right hand and said.

"My soldiers! Now my future husband is being besieged by the enemy, so we must destroy these Mycenaeans immediately. Everyone join me in the attack."

After saying that, Harmonia took the lead and rushed towards the battlefield.

The Corinthians and Mycenaeans were already in a state of indisputable victory. At this time, Harmonia brought 500 soldiers wearing paper armor and using bronze weapons to join the battle, which directly broke the balance of strength between the two warring parties and the balance of victory. Totally leaning towards the Corinthians.

Although the Mycenaean king Acrisios did not personally participate in the battle, he had been observing the battlefield.

Seeing Harmonia appear with the Thebes army, Acrisios immediately judged that Harmonia was the reinforcement of the city of Corinth, and then gave the order to the messenger.

"Blow the retreat horn quickly!"

woo woo woo woo--

Hearing the sound of the trumpet, the Mycenaean army left the battlefield like an ebbing tide.

By the time Harmonia entered the battlefield with the Theban army, the Mycenaean army had already left the battlefield, leaving only hundreds of corpses.

"Honey!"

Harmonia hurried to Roy's side and asked with concern while looking at Roy.

"I saw you were surrounded by many people just now. Were you injured?"

"I'm not hurt!"

Roy said with a smile.

"Harmonia, although I knew you would come to help Corinth, I didn't expect you to come so soon."

"Because I wanted to see you earlier!"

Harmonia turned around and looked at the camp of the Mycenaean army.

"Now let's go after your enemies and destroy them all at once!"

Roy shook his head immediately.

"I also want to hunt down the Mycenaeans, but I don't want to lose both sides."

With Harmonia's 500 soldiers participating in the battle, Roy's side had an absolute advantage on the surface.

But Roy knew that Harmonia must have rushed here by land, so the Theban soldiers must be very tired.

And the cloudy sky had already begun to rain.

Once it rained heavily, the paper armor on the Athenian and Theban soldiers would turn from armor into a burden.

"Harmonia! Your Theban soldiers must be very tired, and the rain will make the paper armor a heavy burden, so we will have a decisive battle with the Mycenaeans tomorrow."

Harmonia nodded obediently.

"I will follow your arrangements in everything."

Looking at Harmonia who obeyed him like a wife obeyed her husband, Roy took the initiative to hug Harmonia's waist with his left hand, and brought her to Sisyphus and Glaucus and said.

"Sisyphus! Let me introduce you, she is the leader of Harmonia in the city of Thebes. Harmonia, this is Sisyphus, the king of Corinth, and the young man next to him is Prince Glaucus, the son of Sisyphus."

After Roy introduced, Sisyphus looked at Roy and Harmonia hugging each other, and couldn't help asking.

"Roy! I heard that you have an engagement with Pandion's daughter, so what is your relationship with Harmonia?"
