Achilles looked at the bronze wings in Ares' hands. The entire wings were no more than the size of a palm, and were engraved with countless mysterious runes.
Seeing Achilles looking at the wings in his hand, Ares gently moved his fingers, and the exquisite bronze wings flew up automatically. Under Achilles' gaze, they grew to more than two meters long.
Ares waved his palms, and the pair of wings floating in the air, flowing with cyan luster, turned into a ray of cyan light, and finally landed behind Achilles. []
Achilles only felt something lightly touching his back, and then a sharp pain came from his spine, as if something had penetrated into it.
This sharp pain disappeared just as quickly as it came. Before he even turned his head, the pain in his spine had disappeared.
When the pain disappeared, it was replaced by a strange feeling. Just where the vertebrae were connected, there was an extra limb extension that could be felt and controlled.
He turned his head, and when his eyes fell behind him, he found that what was connected to his spine was the pair of bronze wings thrown out by Ares.
At this time, this pair of strange bronze wings has been integrated with his spine, as if it is part of his body, and there is no awkwardness in controlling it.
Seeing Achilles touching the bronze wings behind him curiously, Ares said: "This is the battle suit I got in an ancient place a long time ago. This is a very good battle suit. Back then, It seems that he suffered heavy injuries, so he turned into the lowest bronze battle suit, but for you, it is perfect."
Bronze battle suit! Achilles was slightly surprised. He did not expect that these pair of bronze wings would actually be a battle suit.
In later generations, the so-called bronze battle clothes, silver battle clothes, and gold battle clothes are well-known, but in this ancient era, it seems that few gods or mortals mentioned the word battle clothes.
No matter what it means in this era, the falling of the battle suit to the ground, but the power it contains is unquestionable. Now that I unexpectedly get such a good battle suit, it can be regarded as an unexpected surprise.
This is a very wonderful magical object. Once it is fused with a living being, the living being can wear this magical suit as if it were using its own hands, without having to figure out how to use it.
With just a slight movement of his mind, the pair of bronze wings immediately transformed into shapes, twisting and turning, forming a bronze battle suit around him.
And on his back, there is still a pair of bronze wings, but compared with the previous pair of wings, something seems to be missing.
The skin and the suit were tightly attached to each other. Through the skin, Achilles could clearly feel the surging energy contained in the suit.
That is an extremely sacred energy, somewhere between demigod energy and divine power. It is stronger than demigod energy, but weaker than divine power.
"Could it be said that the energy in this bronze suit is quasi-god level energy? If so, it means that these suits actually belong to quasi-gods." Achilles secretly guessed in his heart.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the Saints in some Greek-related books. Are those Bronze Saints, Silver Saints, and Gold Saints quasi-god-level existences?
¡°All of this is a mystery, not something that a little demigod like him can know now. Even his mother probably won¡¯t tell him.
Putting away these random thoughts in his mind, he moved his mind. The battle suit attached to his skin decomposed and shrank into the pair of bronze wings again. Then the bronze wings silently shrank into his back, completely invisible. trace.
"This bronze battle suit is a relic from an unknown era. Although it is incomplete, it still has many wonderful features. But you have to remember, never use it on a mortal battlefield, otherwise it will attract Disaster."
God of War Ares gave him a few solemn instructions and did not stay here any longer. He broke through the void in front of him, stepped in, and disappeared completely.
Looking at the restored nothingness, Achilles stood there for a long time. He had many doubts in his heart, but no one could answer them for him.
"Hurry back as soon as possible, maybe we can learn something from Sophia." He thought to himself, unable to hold himself back, and wanted to return to the kingdom immediately.
The surrounding Thessalian demigods and ordinary soldiers, after this period of rest, have broken free from the pressure of Biya. Thinking back to the terrifying pressure, everyone's heart is A burst of excitement??.
If it weren¡¯t for the fact that their king received the attention of the main gods and Ares, the god of war, came down at the critical moment, I am afraid that all of them would have died in the hands of that powerful god.
When they thought of the majestic body that collapsed into nothingness and walked out proudly, everyone became excited again. This was the first time in their lives that they saw the God of War they believed in.
They knew even more that if they had not followed the king, they might never have seen the guardian of the warriors, the greatest god of war.
Suddenly, everyone looked at Achilles with more and more respect, feeling proud to have such an extraordinary king.
"Zomokos, clean the battlefield quickly, gather all the survivors together, and take away all valuable things here. Don't leave anything behind."
For this enemy of Thessaly, Achilles would not be as unbearable as he was for the grassland tribe before, let alone leave anything for them.
This time, he led a thousand cavalrymen to gallop thousands of miles into the vast grasslands. The purpose was to destroy Thessaly's biggest enemy and rob them of their wealth.
Now that all the armed forces of the Macedonians have been slaughtered, he will naturally not let go of this opportunity and will take all the property here back to Thessaly.
The soldiers quickly spread out, forming a small team, looking for survivors and valuable things in the gathering place where corpses were everywhere.
And the demigods and heroes also spread out in the gathering place to prevent accidents from happening.
The Macedonians hiding in tents were driven out to open areas one by one. Among these people, there was no young and middle-aged man in sight. They were all women, old people and children.
As the largest tribe on this grassland, although it has experienced two massacres by the Thessalian army, there are still more than 2,000 women, elders and children who survived.
Among the nearly 3,000 people, half are underage children, more than 500 elderly people, and the other 800 people are all women.
The soldiers searched all the tents one by one, never letting go of anything valuable, such as dried meat, cheese, gold and other property.
"Your Highness, we should have counted them. The total number of lambs is 2,900, the number of horses is 200, and the number of oxen is fifty."
"In addition, there are about 20 bags of gold collected, more than 5,000 bags of cheese, dried meat, barley and other food that the Macedonians have stored for the winter, and 20 carts of fine fodder."
Zomochus came quickly, with a thick smile on his generous face, and spoke to Achilles from above.
Hearing the numbers he reported, Achilles also had a smile on his face. The Macedonians were indeed the largest tribe on this grassland, and their wealth was many times greater than that of the small tribes.
"Your Highness, we are now rich. With this food and gold, we can increase the number of our troops to four thousand."
After experiencing what happened these days, Achilles's mentality has changed again. He is no longer as anxious as before about the rapid expansion of the army.
The biggest threat to Thessaly is the Macedonians. Now that the Macedonians have been exterminated, there is no big threat in the north of Thessaly.
In the following days, what he needs to do is to grasp the rights of the kingdom as soon as possible and weaken the influence of the nobles to the greatest extent.
Principal Jiang once said that before fighting against foreign forces, you must first settle down at home. Now that there is no danger of the Macedonians, Thessaly's biggest problem is the nobles who have been weighing on the king.
Now he not only defeated the Macedonian invading army, but even ran thousands of miles and led a cavalry force to wipe out the entire Macedonian tribe.
Once he returns to Thessaly, his prestige in Thessaly will inevitably reach a peak and he will be supported by most of the people and soldiers.
In addition, he has enough food and gold on hand. Even if he turns against the nobles now, he does not have the slightest burden. After all, he has the military power at hand.
The belongings collected from the Macedonian gathering place were all loaded onto oxcarts, and even the tents were dismantled, leaving only the more than 500 old people.
Because there were three thousand extra lambs, thousands of women and children, and dozens of carriages carrying property and fodder, the entire team became bloated and their marching speed also slowed down.
In order to prevent other tribes from discovering the changes in the Macedonian tribe, and to avoid being discovered by those greedy tribes,The grassland tribes were watching, and Achilles left Zomokos behind and asked him to take charge of the rear with several demigods, more than a dozen heroes, and more than a hundred cavalry.
And he took other demigod heroes, escorted the women, children, and the huge wealth, and rushed towards Thessaly.
Fortunately, with the blessing of the God of War halo, even though the team was bloated and there were still those women and children, the speed was not too slow.
In the afternoon, Zomokos, who was in charge of the rear, caught up with the large team, and they also did some simple cleaning up of the traces left on the road.
When night came, the team was attacked by a larger wolf pack. Fortunately, the entire team maintained a high degree of vigilance. Apart from a few lambs being snatched away by the wolves, there was no loss.
The Macedonian tribe was brutally attacked, and the wealth, women and children of the entire tribe were looted, causing an uproar throughout the grasslands.
Whether it is a large tribe or an ordinary small tribe, they have sent a large number of cavalry to look for the suspicious team.
Of course, the purpose of these tribes is not to avenge the Macedonians, but to be jealous of the Macedonians' huge wealth and want to get a share of it.
Although most of the people of these grassland tribes are simple-minded guys with well-developed limbs, the tribal leaders are also very smart. After interrogating the old people, they have already guessed that the ones who attacked the Macedonian tribe were not from the grasslands. people, and the number does not exceed one thousand.
This is very good news for them. In the past, they were afraid of the powerful force of the Macedonians and did not dare to think anything about the wealth in the hands of the Macedonians. But now, the Macedonians have been exterminated by outsiders, and they have no choice but to think about it. Became more active.
They also knew that a force that could wipe out an entire Macedonian tribe with just a thousand people was definitely not easy to mess with. If they relied on just one tribe, they would definitely not get any benefits, so several larger tribes united together. , a huge army formed by thousands of warriors.
Since the news of the genocide of the Macedonians spread on the grasslands, tribesmen galloping on war horses can be seen everywhere.
Just when these tribes were stumbling around like headless flies, Achilles led his troops far away from the grassland where the Macedonian tribes were located.
But the speed of this bloated team was limited after all. Even if they deliberately cleaned up the traces, they would inevitably leave omissions. On the third day, the cavalry of the prairie tribe discovered their traces.
What followed was an army composed of multiple grassland tribes. The entire army had more than a thousand cavalry and more than 3,000 sturdy warriors on foot.
The appearance of this huge army made the atmosphere of the entire Thessalian cavalry team heavier, and everyone's heart was hanging in the air.
If their cavalry team of less than a thousand had a head-on confrontation with this huge army composed of several grassland tribes, they would have no chance of winning.
If they gave up the plundered wealth and prisoners, they could easily get rid of these pursuers with the speed of their war horses, but the question was, how could they give up the wealth they had obtained.
When they didn¡¯t know where to go, everyone looked at their young king. In their hearts, their king was omnipotent.
Feeling the trust in the eyes of the demigods and soldiers, Achilles couldn't help but laugh at himself, casually grabbed his spearmen and got on his horse.
"Zomokos, I will block the pursuers of these grassland tribes. You can continue walking with your team. Remember, don't make any stops along the way. If any of the prisoners are restless, deal with them immediately."
