Chapter 343: Two Against One for Victory
If you look at the territory and population, the Athenian gods are absolutely unable to compete with the Thracian gods.
Because the Thracian territory and population were at least twice that of the Kingdom of Athens.
But the strength of the patron saint is not simply determined by the territorial area and population, but by the overall strength.
The patron saint of an iron civilization city-state with a population of 50,000 is bound to be more powerful than the patron saint of a tribal civilization city-state with a population of 100,000 who uses wooden weapons.
Although the Thracians had advantages in territory and population, most of their tribes had not yet entered the Bronze Age.
Although the Kingdom of Athens has a smaller territory and population than the Thracians, it is an advanced and powerful country that has fully entered the Bronze Civilization and begun to enter the Iron Civilization.
With this gap in civilization and technology, the Athenian gods are certainly more powerful than the Thracian gods.
Even if the Thracian gods had a numerical advantage, it would be difficult to defeat the Athenian gods.
At this time, it is at the foot of the Eastern Rhodope Mountains.
The goddess Metis broke through the obstruction of the blazing sun fire and came to the sun god Helios to launch a fierce attack.
Facing the blade of the black divine spear, the arrogant Sun God King had to dodge, and then summoned a golden divine spear with his right hand to counterattack.
While Metis and Helios began to fight, the battle between Loy and Aeetes was already heating up.
With the arrival of the gods of Athens, Roy's divine power was raised to the same level as Aeetes, which made the battle between Roy and Aeetes evenly matched.
Now, if Roy and Aeetes want to decide the winner, they can only compete in combat skills or endurance.
The party with stronger fighting skills or stronger endurance can win.
Clang Clang Clang——
In the fierce battle between the two sides, Roy had to admit a fact.
As a warrior who is more than ten years older than Roy, Aeetes' fighting skills are only as good as Roy's, so it is absolutely impossible for Roy to defeat Aeetes with his fighting skills.
Now if Roy wants to defeat Aeetes, he can only compete with Aeetes for endurance.
Aeetes is a middle-aged man in his thirties, and Loy is a young man in his twenties.
Obviously, when the two sides competed for endurance, Roy had the greater advantage.
While the war of attrition between Loy and Aeetes continued——
The figures of Atamas and Phrixus appeared on the battlefield, approaching Roy and Aeetes.
Seeing the evenly matched battle between Roy and Aeetes, Phrixus suppressed the excitement in his heart and said to Athamas.
"Father! Let's help King Aeetes defeat the hateful King of Athens! As long as I help King Aeetes defeat the King of Athens, he will definitely marry the beautiful Princess Phyllis to me."
After hearing Phrixus' proposal, Athamas said in agreement.
"We help Aeetes defeat the King of Athens, and we will even influence this war and help the Sun Tribe defeat the Amazon tribe and the Kingdom of Athens. With such great merit, Aeetes will definitely agree to marry his beloved daughter to you. But it will not be easy for us to intervene in the battle between two powerful demigod heroes, so we must pray for the help of the god Shiron."
Phrixus begged, aiming a bronze war spear at Roy as a javelin.
"Great Shiron, let my spear blade pierce the enemy."
Following the prayers of Phrixus, Shiron, who lost his territory and became a wandering god, also descended on the battlefield in a figure of 100 meters tall.
Looking down at the human war, Shiron injected a divine power into the spear blade of Phrixus.
"Throw your battle! Phrixus, your spear will pierce the enemy's body."
Phrixos seemed to have heard Shiron's order and threw the bronze war spear at Roy with the greatest strength.
Whoosh!
The bronze war spear flew towards Roy with a sound of breaking through the air.
Just when Phrixus' bronze war spear was about to pierce Roy's body like an arrow, Hippolyta suddenly blocked the flight path of the bronze war spear.
Dang!
After Hippolyta knocked down Phrixus's bronze spear with her own spear, she stared at Athamas and Phrixus with a cold face and said.
"You actually want to destroy the fair fight between two demigod heroes, then let me, Hippolyta, be your opponent."
After saying that, Hippolyta rushed towards Athamas and Phrixus aggressively.
Athamas and Phrixus were so frightened that they turned and fled, not daring to fight Hippolyta.
Although Athamas and Phrixus fled the battlefield, Hieron remained on the battlefield to watch the war of men.
Seeing Loy and Aeetes fighting an evenly matched battle, Shiron said with a sneer.
"Since no other gods can interfere with this battle, let me help you decide the winner!"
After saying this, Hiron aimed his wooden scepter at Aeetes' body.
Rumble——
Just when Hieron was about to inject his divine power into Aeetes' body, a bolt of thunder suddenly struck Hieron's wooden scepter.
Immediately afterwards, Hestia, who was also a wandering god like Sheron, descended from the sky and confronted Sheron.
"Don't get in the way of my brother's fight."
"What stupid thing are you talking about?"
Hearing Hestia's address to Roy, Sheron frowned and said with an unhappy expression.
"Could it be that in order to regain the throne of the patron saint, you actually went so far as to flatter humans and let humans become your younger brothers?"
Hestia had no shame in the face of Heron's accusation.
Heron had just become a wandering god.
So Heron would not understand how painful and desperate it would be for a wandering god to completely lose hope of regaining the patron saint's throne.
Hestia glanced at the Athenian gods and Thracian gods in battle, and then looked at Heron and said.
"Since everyone is fighting, let's fight too!"
After that, Hestia released her divine power, and her divine power turned into a blazing flame and rushed towards Heron.
Heron was the god of wisdom with foresight [Prometheus].
Although the Dorians also worshipped Heron as the god of stealing fire, believing that Heron stole the fire from the sun god Helios, and the Dorians mastered the technology of using fire, Heron himself was not the god of fire.
Facing the fire attack from Hestia, Heron could only retreat while waving the wooden scepter to repel Hestia's fire.
While Roy was fighting Aeetes, he was also observing the battle between the gods.
Seeing that the Athenian gods, like himself, could not defeat the Thracian gods in a short time, Roy suddenly shouted to Hippolyta.
"Queen Hippolyta, come with me to defeat Aeetes."
Hippolyta, who was watching the battle, immediately widened her eyes in surprise and asked when she heard Roy's words.
"Didn't you just tell me not to interfere in your battle?"
"That's because I think I can defeat Aeetes."
Roy explained loudly.
"Now I am not fighting with Aeetes, but fighting a war. In order to win this war, let alone the two of us besieging Aeetes together, even if twenty people besiege Aeetes, it is reasonable. In order to win this war, I can use any means."
