The three thousand infantrymen of Thessaly, lined up in neat formation, moved towards the city of Zolazuos with a billowing momentum.
And the two thousand most elite cavalry quietly left the team and hid in that hidden place, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the Zola Zuosi people at the appropriate time.
The city of Zolazos, lined with high walls, stands on the bank of the Pinho River. The towering and solid city walls have experienced tens of hundreds of years of wind and rain, but they still remain unchanged. []
In the magnificent palace, the nobles in gorgeous clothes quarreled loudly without caring about their face, and in the wide square, brave soldiers holding weapons continued to gather here from all over the city.
No matter how much the nobles quarrel, they cannot stop the determination of these warriors to defend their city-state and family.
After a fierce quarrel, the nobles at the noble meeting finally reached a consensus and decided to summon 6,000 soldiers in the city and go out to meet the enemy from the west.
The heavy door slowly opened, and the ten demigods of Zola Zuosi City, leading the six thousand Zola Zuosi soldiers gathered, stepped out of their city-state.
Outside this rich city-state, on the open and flat area, two armies faced each other. One side had more than 6,000 people, while the other side only had more than 3,000 people.
Even though the number of people was doubled, Thessaly, as the disadvantaged side, was full of fierce and rising momentum, oppressing the Zola Zuosi people on the opposite side.
"Strong men from far away, please leave the territory of Zola Zuosi City, otherwise you will be mercilessly attacked by the brave Zola Zuosi warriors." A demigod from Zola Zuosi City, riding a war horse, came from The team came out, looked at the Thessalian army on the opposite side, and warned loudly.
Zomokos drove the chariot, stepped forward, and looked into the eyes of the demigod of Zola Zuosi City. He raised the spearman in his hand, pointed directly at Zola Zuosi City, and said in his rich voice: "Zo Lazuosi City Despicable people in the city of Lazus, you once brought war and pain to Thessaly. Because of your despicable behavior, countless mothers in Thessaly lost their sons. Today, the army of Thessaly will destroy Zola. Zuosi City, to avenge those dead Thessalian warriors.¡±
War always requires looking for some excuses, even if they are not excuses, but it is always difficult to go to war without declaring it. Although the reason mentioned by Zomokos is a bit far-fetched, generally speaking, it still makes sense.
"Demigods of Thessaly, take your soldiers and leave our territory of Zolazos City immediately, otherwise we don't mind driving you out by force." After knowing the identity of the other party, the demigod of Zolazos City Shen's expression relaxed and he shouted coldly.
Thessaly has been poor and weak for many years. During these years, not only the barbaric Macedonians had an idea of ????her, but also several stronger city-states in the east and south had small-scale battles with them.
Because they have fought against each other, the city of Zolazos still has some understanding of the strength of Thessaly. Seeing that there are only about three thousand Thessalians now, most of their previous caution has gone away.
Seeing the sarcasm on the opposite demigod's face, Zomokos slowly raised the spearman in his hand, pointed at him, and shouted sternly: "Between Thessaly and Zolazos, only one can continue to fight in this area. One rich and vast land exists, and the other is going to perish, today.¡±
"Stupid Thessalians, do you think that with these three thousand weak soldiers, you can defeat the tens of thousands of warriors in Zolazosi City?" The demigods in Zolazosi City seemed to have heard the funniest joke. , couldn't help laughing out loud.
"The team retreats" Zomokos was interrupted by Achilles just as he started to speak. Achilles, who was on the golden chariot, raised his hand and gave the order to the team.
Three thousand Thessalian soldiers holding shields and spears, after receiving the king's order, moved slowly and orderly towards the rear.
When the Zorazos people on the opposite side saw the Thessalian army retreating, the demigods and heroes drove their horses and chariots forward, and the six thousand soldiers behind them also moved forward.
The two opposing teams, one retreating and the other advancing, finally stopped retreating after the Thessalian army retreated several hundred meters.
The two armies faced each other and approached aggressively; a strong demigod jumped out from the ranks of the Zola Zuosi people as a challenger. He had a leopard skin draped across his shoulders, carrying a curved bow and a sharp sword. Holding a pair of throwing spears with bronze spear points, he challenged all Thessalians to fight to the death one on one in a painful fight.
The two brave and fighting armies stopped. The young and strong demigod of the Zola Zos people walked to the two sides.In the open space in the middle of the team, he raised his own spearmen and shields and challenged the Thessalians.
The war-loving Thessalian demigods were elated when they saw the demigod of the Zolazos people walking in front of the team with long strides, like a lion, encountering a huge corpse, hungry, and pounced on one The carcass of an antlered stag or ibex, tearing away, although in front of it running hounds and young, strong hunters pounce - like this.
Strong Danis, the young demigod of Thessaly, stepped into the open space between the two armies, holding the middle end of the spear in his hand, forcing the Thessalian formation to fall back until the brave soldiers all sat down with their legs bent.
The entire battlefield became quiet, and the soldiers on both sides stood up their spearmen and shields in front of them, waiting for the upcoming battle of demigods.
The two powerful and young demigods stepped off their chariots and approached each other with long strides. The sharp spearmen shone sharply in the sun.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of warriors, the two demigods came close to each other. Their strong arms pushed the sharp spearmen to stab the enemy fiercely.
"Allow me, Ares, the god of war, to punish the outstanding demigod Zora and Zosi, and kill him with my hands - it was they who hurt the peace-loving Thessaly first!"
After saying that, Danis leveled the long spear, threw it with all his strength, and hit the round shield of the demigod Zola and Zuosi. The heavy spear point penetrated the shining shield and opened the finely crafted breastplate. , stabbed at the abdominal ribs, and opened the close-fitting shirt.
But this equally young demigod turned aside and escaped the dark death. Danis pulled out a bronze sword with silver nails embedded in the handle, raised it above his head, and slashed hard at the opponent's helmet spine, but the opponent dodged it again.
A heavy roar came from Danis's mouth, and it seemed that the entire battlefield was shaking. Before the sound could reach the ground, the copper sword in his hand slashed again.
With the luster of the sun falling down, the fatal copper sword struck hard on the shoulder of the demigod Zola and Zuosi. The huge force made the young demigod stagger.
Danis, who had quick reactions, rushed forward, grabbed the young demigod's helmet studded with horsehair, pulled hard, and dragged him to the ground. The engraved helmet belt fastened the bronze helmet, and the loose collar tightened around the young demigod's neck, almost suffocating him.
Above the sky, a figure full of sacred aura emerged, standing on the white clouds, looking down at the two sides fighting on the earth.
The golden divine light fell from the palm, through the endless void, and poured into the demigod who was dragged to the ground by Danis like a dead dog.
The Matsubara collar that was tight around the young demigod's neck broke automatically. The young demigod, who was almost suffocating, broke free from Danis's hands and crawled towards the spearman abandoned on the ground with an embarrassed and frightened expression.
Looking at the enemy crawling in the open space, Danis had a joking sneer on his face, strode forward, and hit his butt hard with the copper sword in his hand.
The sharp sword edge split open the strong armor, making an eye-catching gap in the young demigod's soft buttocks, from which a stream of blood flowed.
Soldiers from both sides looked at the demigod lying on the ground in a miserable state. The soldiers from Thessaly made rough mocking noises, while the soldiers from Zola and Zuosi had livid faces and gnashed their teeth.
Achilles, who was on the golden chariot, had a gloomy look on his face, raising his head and looking at the empty sky, because he had already felt the presence of the golden figure.
In this war between two hostile city-states, a certain god intervened. Unfortunately, this god seemed to be the patron saint of the Zola Zuosi people.
"Danis, kill him" Achilles looked cold, looked back from the sky, looked at Danis, and ordered coldly.
After getting the king's order, Danis, who was good at fighting, pulled out his spearman from the side, raised his strong arms high, and stabbed the demigod of Zola Zuosi who had just touched the spearman.
With the sound of friction, the sharp spearmen fell down under the sunlight. In the blink of an eye, they could take away the life of the embarrassed young demigod.
But the situation was beyond everyone's expectations. This frightened and embarrassed demigod seemed to have been blessed by the gods. He stood up from the ground suddenly, and the spearman in his hand knocked away Danis's spearman.
This sudden change made Danis stunned for a moment. In the moment when he lost consciousness, the young demigod of Zola Zuosi threw his spearman fiercely at him.
"Danis, be careful." Aki, who has been paying attention to the battlefield,Danis, seeing this sudden change, immediately shouted to remind Danis.
Danis reacted and turned sideways, narrowly avoiding the deadly spearman. Then he shouted angrily, raised the bronze sword in his hand, and rushed towards the enemy again.
