The Greece Antagonist

The sacred words chanted throughout the city, the stars in the sky trembled and fell.

Facing a wide-range saturation bombardment of magic and divine arts, the battlefield in the forefront erupted in flames that stretched for dozens of miles. The flesh and blood of magic beasts and the limbs of giants were thrown high into the air, turning into a rain of blood that scattered down in drips and drabs.

The group of magic beasts, stunned by the explosions, instinctively turned around, flooding towards the breach opened by the divine blood heroes in an attempt to escape the fiery purgatory below the city.

"Bearing due east, distance two hundred meters, spearmen harass, drive these beasts toward the central area!"

"Bearing southeast, distance three hundred meters, archers, 45 degrees lob shot!"

"Bearing southwest, distance five hundred meters, launch a three-section ritual curse now!"

In front of the citadel, Luo En surveyed the whole situation, issuing crisp and clear commands to the mages, temple priests, and ordinary soldiers who were stationed, all through the resonance techniques that lit up before him.

The city defenders, united in spirit, carried out their orders tensely yet orderly, further amplifying the chaos in the ranks of the magic beasts and driving them to impact the formation of the Giant Spirit Clan.

Seeing this scene, Luo En nodded in satisfaction.

Since he was a teacher at the Academy of Athens and the proposer of the entire diversionary battle plan, and because the collapsing defense line of Thessaly needed his and Medea's support, King Admetos had decisively entrusted him with the command of the battle before setting out to lure the enemy.

Ordinarily, assigning command on the eve of battle is a big taboo, but fortunately, the Academy of Athens had nurtured talents far and wide, not only as reinforcements from the surrounding city-states but even the local mages of Thessaly and divine blood warriors, many of whom had been trained at the Academy of Athens.

Thanks to this, Luo En was able to smoothly achieve the strategic objective with the cooperation of these students.

With the magic beasts' uncontrolled charge in reverse, the already crude formation of the Giant Spirit Clan was shattered into pieces. Without the regulation of their leader Antaeus, the entire group of giants nearly lost their formation completely, just huddling together, each fighting their own battle.

The twin brothers, who had received professional military education in Sparta, saw this and their eyes shone. They pulled on the reins in their hands, drew out their swords that represented the light, and swung forward.

"Go! Slay these earth rats!"

The griffins—divine beasts with the head, foreclaws, and wings of an eagle, and the body, hind legs, and tail of a lion—pulled the sun-patterned bronze chariots toward the chaotic Giant Spirit Clan.

Apollo was currently on several volcanic islands, contesting Hephaestus over beliefs related to fire and light. Moreover, since the chief god of Thessaly was Zeus, who, even in decline, was mightier than any, Apollo could not afford to support, for the time being, his kingly ally.

Although he had dispatched the twin brothers, the near disaster of the Spartan trio in Arcadia served as a cautionary tale. This God of Light realized that behind the disasters in various places seemed to be the shadow of the Old Gods, suggesting significant challenges and dangers.

Therefore, after the Spartan twins finished their journey in Arcadia and reported back to him, the God of Light spared no expense and gifted them his latest chariot and his newly domesticated divine beast griffins, along with a pair of swords imbued with his divinity, one for each twin.

Together with the sacred robes from Athens, the twin brothers were now in divine armor, displaying a combat power not inferior to deities, and they became the most dazzling and eye-catching targets on the battlefield.

Some of the less bright giant spirits mistook the two of them for the real kings of Thessaly, and howled and besieged them, while the real King Thessaly, Admetos, found himself suddenly under much less pressure.

Even some temple priests on the battle line were so dazzled by the gold light from the Spartan twins that they subconsciously directed a few lightning bolts their way.

The saying "show off and get struck by lightning" seemed apt for this occasion.

Luo En, watching the Spartan twins become the focus of everyone's attacks amid the chaos, swearing and cursing, couldn't help but tease and shake his head at the thought of his soon-to-be-bald young brother-in-law.

Indeed, they were truly the disciples of Apollo, the same style. Perhaps in the future, they could be nurtured as professional tanks, specifically responsible for taunting and attracting hate.

However, every cloud has a silver lining.

The golden light from the Spartan twins may have drawn hatred, but it also allowed the surrounding divine blood heroes to easily find their banner and subconsciously move toward their location.

Javelins shot fiercely, arrows sliced through the air, swords swung down... Under the barrage from the divine blood heroes, the giants, each fighting alone, were successively chopped down.

"Watch out for their Earth Divinity! Make it clean, don't let them heal!"

After hearing the reminder from the citadel, the heroes paused briefly, then transformed into brutal executioners, unceremoniously hacking and slashing at the giants on the ground until they turned into piles of mush that could no longer wriggle or regenerate. Only then did they stop, swiftly picking up valuable bits and pieces from the bloody mess to store in their Magic Circle Diagrams as war spoils.

Even the scattered magic beasts nearby didn't escape the group's beating and plundering.

Watching the divine blood heroes on the battlefield, who resembled a plague of locusts yet without any impediment to their marching speed, Luo En couldn't help but joke.

Well, this is what we call professional.

"Our allies are here. Let's go, fight our way over and join them!"
