Chapter 339 Bendis and Helios
At the foot of the Eastern Rhodope Mountains.
The coalition forces of the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon Tribe collided with the army of the Sun Tribe like two torrents.
The Moon Knights of the Amazon Tribe and the Sun Knights of the Sun Tribe fought on horseback, and most of them used wooden spears or stone spears as weapons, which made it difficult to cause fatal damage to the enemy.
But as long as they knocked the enemy off the horse, they could let their horses trample the enemy with their hooves.
While ordinary Moon Knights and ordinary Sun Knights were fighting, Hippolyta rushed towards Aeetes with 500 Moon Knights using bronze spears.
Although the Sun Knights had an advantage in numbers, Hippolyta believed that as long as they could quickly defeat Aeetes, the king of the Sun Tribe, the war would be won.
Aeetes obviously had the same idea, so while Hippolyta approached Aeetes, Aeetes also approached Hippolyta with 1,000 Sun Knights using bronze spears.
"Hippolyta, let me see how powerful your proud queen is!"
"Aeetes! You will regret starting this war."
With a muffled bang!
Hippolyta's black horse and Aeetes' white horse collided with each other with their horse heads.
Hippolyta and Aeetes on horseback also launched fierce attacks on each other with bronze spears.
With a loud bang!
The spears of Hippolyta and Aeetes collided with each other.
Although Hippolyta and Aeetes are both demigod heroes, Helios, the god of the sun, is the strongest god in the Thracian region. Therefore, with the blessing and divine power of Helios, the god of the sun, Aeetes is stronger than Hippolyta.
In the first round of the battle between the two, Hippolyta was suppressed by the powerful force of Aeetes, and the spear in his hand was almost knocked away by Aeetes.
Seeing that she couldn't fight Aeetes head-on, Hippolyta immediately changed her fighting style and wanted to defeat Aeetes with fighting skills.
However, Aeetes, as a warrior who was more than a dozen years older than Hippolyta, had better fighting skills and combat experience than Hippolyta.
From the first round of the two people's battle, Hippolyta was completely suppressed by Aeetes in the battle.
When Hippolyta's power began to decline, Aeetes could defeat Hippolyta without being injured.
While Hippolyta and Aeetes were fighting fiercely, Roy also brought 1,500 iron spearmen into the battlefield and began to unilaterally massacre the Sun Knights of the Sun Tribe.
The iron spearmen could either chop the Sun Knights on horseback with sharp spear blades or stab the warhorses with sharp spear blades.
When the warhorses were injured, they often started to run around.
Once the knights on horseback fell off, they would usually die on the battlefield from being trampled by the warhorses.
Even if the knights did not fall off the horses, they would be taken away from the battlefield by the injured warhorses.
When Roy's spearmen joined the battlefield, the Sun Knights, who originally had a numerical advantage, immediately fell into a disadvantageous situation.
Seeing the spearmen killing their companions like cutting melons and vegetables, more and more Sun Knights began to flee the battlefield.
If the Sun Knights participated in this war to protect their tribe, perhaps they would be able to fight to the death.
Unfortunately, the war that Aeetes led them to fight was not to protect their tribe and family, but to invade the territory of the Amazon tribe.
In this kind of war, once one's side falls into an unfavorable situation, morale will easily collapse.
Aeetes fought with Hippolyta with ease while observing the situation on the battlefield.
Seeing the Athenian spearmen causing huge casualties to his Sun Knights, Aeetes murmured with disbelief and wide eyes.
"Is this the black weapon of the Kingdom of Athens? The damage caused by black weapons and bronze weapons is completely different. Our Sun Tribe has just mastered the forging method of bronze weapons, and the Kingdom of Athens has already used black weapons that are higher than bronze weapons on a large scale. This is unfair - this is too unfair. With the gap in equipment level, how can we defeat them?"
Hippolyta saw that after the iron spearmen entered the battlefield, the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the Amazon tribe. She smiled while stubbornly blocking Aeetes' attack.
"Aeetes, my prophecy is about to come true. The victory of this war belongs to our Amazon tribe."
"We will not lose the Sun Tribe."
Aeetes looked up at the sun in the sky and prayed loudly.
"Great Father God Helios, please use your glory to destroy our enemies and let us win this war."
Accompanied by Aeetes' prayer, the sun god Helios, with the sun wheel behind him, descended on the battlefield with a huge figure of a thousand meters tall and appeared on the east side of Mount Eastern Rhodope.
Looking down at the war on the ground, Helios said coldly and expressionlessly when he saw the Sun Knights, who had a numerical advantage, being suppressed by the coalition forces of the Kingdom of Athens and the Amazon tribe.
"I am so disappointed that I need to come and help you win this war."
Although he said dissatisfied words, Helios still shone infinite divine light on the Sun Knights on the battlefield.
With the blessing of Helios' divine power, the Sun Knights all increased their strength and courage and began to reverse the unfavorable situation.
With the blessing of Helios' divine power, Aeetes burst out with amazing divine power to attack Hippolyta, knocking Hippolyta off her horse.
"Helios--"
At the same time Hippolyta fell from the horse, the moon goddess Bendis descended on the battlefield with an angry face, standing on the west side of Mount Rhodope to confront Helios.
"It seems that the battle between the gods between us is inevitable."
"Bendis!"
Helios said with a bright and gentle smile.
"My dear sister, do you really want to challenge your brother? You should bow your head and surrender to me, and let your beloved daughter Hippolyta surrender to my beloved son Aeetes and become Aeetes' loyal and obedient wife."
"Although I don't deny our brother-sister relationship, I don't want to be your vassal."
Bendis gnashed his teeth and glared at Helios.
"I don't want to challenge your authority as the king of the sun god, I just want to have independent power."
"No!"
Helios said immediately.
"All gods in Thrace should become members of my pantheon, and all tribes in Thrace should obey my Sun Tribe. If you and the Amazon Tribe become exceptions, other gods and tribes in Thrace will also have the idea of betraying me and the Sun Tribe."
"Then let's use battle to resolve our differences!"
After Bendis finished speaking, he summoned a golden spear with his right hand, and then took the initiative to attack Helios.
The sun god Helios did not make any move. He just radiated golden divine light and blazing sun fire like the sun, so the moon goddess Bendis could not approach him.
"My foolish sister Bendis, who gave you the courage to challenge me! Unlike ignorant humans, you should know that the moon's brilliance comes from the sun, so the moon can never defeat the sun."
