Douluo: The Adventures of King Skin

"John's head."

--"Salome"

If there is anything else that can shock me for a whole year, you might as well tell me!

"Will you tell Dmitri?"

"I will keep it a secret for you," Pyrrhus said without hesitation.

"Of course you will. I've known it for a long time." She stretched out her hand and touched Pyrrhus's face, "You are different from them. You respect me, you understand me..."

"Um……"

That’s not quite right either…

He held her waist and felt the temperature carefully.

"Come with me, Pyrrhus. When Antigonus and his son are defeated, together we can seize all of Greece."

"?"

Why did the topic suddenly turn to capturing Greece?

And leaving aside whether to join forces to capture Greece, what he wants to know most now is:

"How do you know they're going to lose?"

Starting from the murder of Perdiccas, Antigonus gained a lot of benefits in all conflicts. After killing Eumenes, most of the elite soldiers and money left by Alexander had already entered his pocket.

Of course Pyrrhus knew that he would be completely defeated in Ipsus, but in the eyes of today's world, the father and son can be said to be at the height of their power, so much so that other successors have formed a siege network to oppose him.

Only Cratsipolis insisted that they would lose!

Is it possible that you also traveled through time?

"Of course I know!" Her disdainful expression seemed to be visible in the darkness. "The Greeks are mostly idiots. They only know that Alexander conquered Persia, but they have no idea what a huge and rich territory the East is! Then It is almost one-third of the world. Greece, Macedonia, and Asia are simply incomparable! And now these territories are in the hands of Seleucus. He just needs time to digest it. The strength comparison between the two sides is actually changing every day! "

This woman sees things very clearly.

Pyrrhus always thought that she was just spreading her influence in Asia, but in fact her tentacles had reached the East.

Is this the power of besties?

However, the defeat of Antigonus and his son in the Battle of Ipsus itself was very accidental, and now that I am here, how could they lose?

"But now most of the elite soldiers who have been fighting for many years are in the hands of Antigonus. Even if the strength balance is reversed, it won't be that fast."

"Dmitri trusts you very much, and Antigonus should have the same confidence. As long as you seize the opportunity to backhand you during their decisive battle, they will be completely defeated without waiting until the next day!" Cratesipolis's eyes flashed. "And I will take the opportunity to seize Corinth in Greece..."

"What the heck!?!?"

"Pyrrhus! My name is 'Cratesipolis', and there is no city that I cannot capture! I can capture Acrocorinth once, but I can capture this place twice!"

"Wait a minute..."

"The throne of Epirus was originally yours, but now that Neoptolemus is a waste! And you already have Thessaly, and even the Illyrians support you... Yes, I am all Know!

"When you take back Epirus, I can also take over the entire Peloponnese. By then, the combined territory of the two of us will be the entire Greece! Cassander and Lysimachus can only be regarded as Cypriots. The cache between Ryugu and us, waiting for us to build a fleet..."

"How can that work!" Pyrrhus was extremely shocked, "I can't... I can't 'backhand'!"

"Why not?"

"Because...because I can't...I can't do this anyway!"

Pyrrhus was confused, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

for what?For peace, for seizing the last chance to end the war, for the planned route, for doing more meaningful things... there are many reasons, but he is speechless and unable to say them out!

"Why reject me?" Cratesipolis' voice became urgent, "I know! You are already engaged to Dmitri's daughter. She is indeed a very beautiful girl."

She said in an almost pleading tone, "It doesn't matter if you like Stratonis. Phila is a very realistic woman. You can still marry her! I can help you convince Phila..."

Hearing the humble words of Cratesippolis, Pyrrhus felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

"It's not like that. It has nothing to do with Dmitri's daughter."

"What's that for?" Cratesipolis shouted, "I love you! Can't you see? I want to be with you!"

"Of course I can see that..." Pyrrhus said bitterly,

"I want to be with you too, but...I can't support you."

Of course it's nice that someone likes me, but because of my position, I can't respond, so he doesn't even dare to say "I love you too."

What has fame brought me?

Fame inspired Cratesipolis and made her favor him. Fame brought him a feeling that made him happy but difficult to respond.

Silence in the dark.

Pyrrhus seemed to see Cratesipolis' face change from pleading to expectation, then to disappointment and anger.

"I really thought you could understand me!"

She raised her left hand and hit Pyrrhus hard on the face!

Pyrrhus was almost unable to stand due to a big blow, and he quickly grabbed the carriage, otherwise the two people hugging each other would have to fall out of the carriage.

Pyrrhus hugged her shoulders, feeling a slight tremor in his hands, and she seemed to be sobbing.

"Of course I understand you!"

Cratersipolis turned her face aside.

Pyrrhus looked at her tear-stained face and said:

"Of course the world is unfair to women! You have talent and ambition. If you had the same background and opportunities, your achievements would not necessarily be worse than Alexander's, or even better!"

Cratesipolis lowered her head and put her hair in Pyrrhus' face, "Do you really think so?"

she asked softly.

"I speak from my heart. You are the most outstanding woman I have ever seen. You took Achaia with your own strength. Since I came to this world, I have not seen a stronger man than you." of!"

Hearing these words, Cratsipolis sniffed and finally raised her head.

She held Pyrrhus's face tightly with her hands and looked at it carefully in the dim light, as if to judge whether he was telling the truth.

Pyrrhus felt his skin hurt from her scratching, but he could only endure it.

"Aren't you a stronger man than me?"

Just when he saw a smile appear in the corner of her eyes, she unexpectedly came up to her and bit her nose!

"what!!!"

…………

…………

Just when the two of them were about to suffocate, they finally separated.

Cratessipolis was still breathing heavily, but she asked the next sentence:

"Have you decided to support me now?"

Why are you still here!

Pyrrhus had a headache.

He stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead and said helplessly:

"I just hope that there will be no more unnecessary wars. My involvement in the disputes among the successors is not for other ambitions, but to end the war in the long term."

Hearing such an answer, Cratsipolis' face immediately turned foul.

"Pyrrhus, you don't understand that as a woman, I have to prove myself in war!"

"But..." He still wanted to persuade her, but Cratsipolis was already pushing him with both hands.Pyrrhus hurriedly grasped the lapels of his clothes, otherwise he would be in danger of being completely exposed.

"Go away!" she yelled.He raised his knees and struggled to push away Pyrrhus, looking at his posture as if he wanted to kick him.

Pyrrhus quickly pulled back his clothes to avoid being stripped naked, but then there was a flash of white waves, and another big butt slapped him loudly on the left side of the face!

The beating caused him to stumble and was knocked off the carriage.

Without looking at him, Cratesipolis grabbed the reins of the horse and shook it hard. With a loud "pop!", the horse neighed, the chariot started suddenly, and rushed out.

Two eagles also swung down from the stand, clumsily flapping their wings to follow.

The chariot roared away quickly.

Only Pyrrhus was left standing in the dust with two bright red slap marks on his face, confused.
