Chapter 329 Dionysus Kneels Down to Recognize His Mother

Mount Olympus.

When Roy led 1,500 iron lancers from the coastal area around the mountain range and from the Thessaly region into the Macedonian plains, the patrolling knights of the Pelos tribe quickly brought the news back to their tribe.

Although the nomads on horseback have always looked down on the farming people and regarded themselves as wolves on the grassland and the farming people as cattle and sheep, this does not mean that the nomads are really arrogant and stupid.

When Athamas and his son Phrixus passed through the territory of the Pelos tribe with their personal guards, they had already told Pelos, the leader of the Pelos tribe, that the four major tribes of the Dorians had been defeated by Roy. .

Pelos did not think that the Kingdom of Athens could defeat the Pelos tribe, but he was still ready for a war with Loy.

The royal tent of the Pelos tribe.

Pelos, the son of the god of wine Dionysus, the king of the Pelos tribe who ruled over 30,000 people, learned about the invasion of the Kingdom of Athens from the patrolling knights, and immediately summoned the young and strong among his tribe's population. , a knight skilled in equestrian skills.

The second day after entering Macedonia.

Roy's army arrived on the south bank of the Alias ​​River and did not encounter any Thracian tribes along the way.

Obviously, Pelos, the leader of the Pelos tribe, had moved all the tribe members on the south bank of the Alias ​​River while Roy's army was invading.

After leading the army across the Alias ​​River, Roy also began to become cautious.

After all, Macedonia is not the Thessaly region without copper and iron mines. There are copper mines for casting bronze weapons.

If the enemy were thousands of Thracian knights armed with bronze weapons, Roy did not have the confidence to defeat the enemy with 1,500 iron spearmen.

The third day into Macedonia.

Roy's army finally encountered the Pelos tribe's army at the southern foot of Mount Paiko.

Seeing that the enemy in front was more than 4,000 knights with wooden spears, Roy couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

Since the enemy's weapon was a wooden spear, there was no doubt about the outcome of this war.

After Roy dismounted with his iron spear cavalry, Pelos also jumped off the horse with more than 4,000 tribal knights.

Then, under the puzzled gazes of Roy and the Iron Lancers, Pelos and his tribal warriors took out their animal skin water bags and started drinking water in large gulps.

After the wind on the grassland blew the strong smell of wine, Roy opened his eyes in disbelief and said.

"What they drank was not water, but wine of about fifty degrees - these people were all out of their minds to drink such strong liquor before the war started?"

Pelos, who was about thirty years old, and his tribal warriors finished drinking the spirits they carried with them. Pelos threw the animal skin water bag on the ground and said loudly.

"Brave warriors of the Pelos tribe! We are all the favorites of the great Dionysus, the god of wine. Under the favor of the god of wine, Dionysus, our bodies will be brave and strong, and we will not feel the influence of the enemy. In order to repay the favor Dionysus has given us, I will lead you to defeat the enemy and turn the enemy's life into a sacrifice to Dionysus."

After saying that, Perlos took the lead in charging.

Pelos's tribal warriors followed him with excited shouts. Many of the tribal warriors were unable to run normally due to drunkenness.

Looking at the enemy who looked like a drunken lunatic, Roy also ordered to his soldiers.

"My soldiers! Since our enemies are a group of drunkards, let them die painlessly while drunk."

After saying that, Roy also charged with his iron spearmen.

Before the two armies collided, Dionysus, the patron saint of the Pelos tribe, took the initiative to descend on the battlefield in a huge figure that was thousands of meters tall.

As a beardless boy god, Dionysus' weapon was a wooden staff wrapped around a vine.

He said as he waved the wooden staff of Dionysus to sprinkle divine power over the warriors of the Pelos tribe.

"People of Dionysus! I will inspire your power so that your bodies will not feel pain."

"Can a warrior who can't even stand still defeat my people?"

Following the teasing of the goddess Mnemosyne, the goddess Mnemosyne descended on the battlefield holding a black divine spear.

Although Dionysus was the god of wine, he was not drunk at all.

After looking at Mnemosyne expressionlessly, Dionysus smiled and said.

"Just because my people can't stand firmly when walking, the tribe I protect is already the weakest tribe in Thrace, and I am also the weakest patron saint in Thrace. The Dorians guarded by Shiron split into With four tribes of ten thousand, my people cannot defeat any Dorian tribe with three times their numerical advantage.”

At this time, Roy's Iron Lancers had collided with the Pelos tribe's army.

After Roy wielded a sharp iron spear and pierced the heart of Pelos with the blade of the gun, Roy's iron spearmen also launched a unilateral massacre on the Pelos tribe warriors who were holding wooden spears and could not even walk.

If neither side uses weapons, or if the weapons used by both sides are wooden spears, perhaps Dionysian warriors can defeat Roy's army by relying on drunken madness and numerical superiority.

It is a pity that in this situation where Dionysian warriors use wooden spears and Roy's warriors use sharp iron spears, no matter how drunk and crazy the Dionysian warriors are, they cannot make up for the strength gap caused by the weapons.

"Dionysus, God of Wine, since the war of mankind has begun, let us also decide the winner!"

Mnemosyne was about to swing her spear to attack Dionysus, but Dionysus suddenly knelt down and said.

"Great Mother Goddess, I am your son!"

Mnemosyne stopped swinging her spear in surprise, letting the sharp blade stop above Dionysus' head, and then stared at Dionysus with an unhappy expression.

"What are you talking about? I am an unmarried virgin goddess."

"I am not talking nonsense."

Dionysus lowered his head and explained.

"Mother Goddess, I am really your son. You are the Earth Mother Goddess who nurtures all things, and I am the incarnation of the vine. The vine is a plant that grows from the ground, so I am the Earth Mother Goddess - that is, your child. The Pelos tribe that worships me now will be destroyed by the Kingdom of Athens. I will leave the Thracian region and enter the Kingdom of Athens to become a native Greek god born of the Earth Mother Goddess in the Thebes region."

"You shameless guy -"

After listening to Dionysus' words, Mnemosyne blushed and said in shame and anger.

"In order to survive, you did not change yourself and make yourself stronger, but took the initiative to become the son of a more powerful god. But I don't want you to tarnish the reputation of an unmarried goddess, so you can't even think about becoming my son."

After saying that, Mnemosyne swung her magic spear and chopped at Dionysus.

Dionysus, who had bowed his head and knelt to worship Mnemosyne, immediately used the Dionysus staff to block Mnemosyne's spear.

With a click!

Mnemosyne's magic spear directly split the Dionysus staff in half.

Seeing that Mnemosyne's magic spear was so sharp, Dionysus hurriedly got up from the ground and threatened while running away.

"I am a vassal of the great sun god Helios. I will let His Majesty Helios punish you."
