To be king [Greek mythology]

Bai finally returned to the underworld with her, and the goddess of dawn opened the gate of heaven to let light come to the world.

The soldiers worked hard all night, and the first wave of beasts lasted for more than half the night before finally showing signs of ending.

Outside the city walls, there was a foul smell.

Letting the warriors who had fought all night rest on the spot, while waiting for the food that was mentioned not long ago to be delivered, Minos rubbed his eyes in a bit of sleepiness.

Thanks to the respected Zeus for bringing him a good body, he just feels a little sleepy now, not exhausted.

"That's not right." Minos frowned, looking at the corpses below, and the black vultures circling in the sky, waiting to come down to eat a big meal.

The King of Crete has already led a group of warriors, taking advantage of this respite to bring back some of the dead beasts below. The warriors will be very tired during this period and must eat something hearty.

The only ones left on the city wall were the persistent warriors and the high priest who couldn't bear it last night and leaned on the side to take a nap for a while.

The chief priest looked at Minos and raised his eyebrows, "What?"

"Look below." Minos pointed to the beast corpses under the city wall, "There are no wolves."

The high priest glanced down, and also frowned.

"Surpus told me that the wolves in the deep forest migrated to the southern edge of the outer edge a year ago. Normally, they are quite close to the exit of the forest and Crete. They left for a while, but not a single wolf appeared in the first wave of beasts." Minos pursed his lips, "This is not normal."

Because Surpus was going to the southern forest, Minos was particularly concerned about whether the wolves also rushed out of the forest.

It would be nice if he rushed out, and Thurps would face less danger when he entered the forest.

Thurpus has never given up easily. After the beast tide has passed, he will definitely continue to choose to go into the forest.

The chief priest who was lazily leaning against the city wall looked at Minos with some surprise, and chuckled twice, "I really underestimated you before."

The warrior who was moving his sore arm at the side nodded in agreement, "I really didn't find that there were no wolves, no wonder I always felt that something was missing."

In the beast hordes in the past, the tribes commanded by a leader were the most troublesome for the warriors of Crete.

For example, the annoying baboons who can climb the city walls and various monkeys, such as wolves and some other social animals.

"Your cognition needs to be updated a bit more." Minos taunted casually, his gaze fell on the forest, "This time it's probably because something is moving in the forest."

"Hasn't Hydra already left?" the warrior asked.

"That's why I'm wondering—it would be much easier to solve if it was Hydra who was making trouble." Minos frowned sullenly.

Hydra's stupidity has penetrated into the minds of Minos and Thurps, so that when people mentioned the name of this frightening monster, the first reaction in Minos and Thurps' minds was the same When Hydra met, the nine uncoordinated heads bumped into each other like bouncy balls.

It's still hilarious no matter what.

It was normal for the first wave of beasts to have no wolves, but it was abnormal for the first wave of beasts to not have a single wolf.

The chief priest stood up straight and yawned, "I'll go back to the temple to pray and try. Poseidon is actually quite enthusiastic about things on land."

The gods they believed in were constantly losing in the struggle with Zeus for the land.

But no matter what... the spirit of getting more and more courageous after defeat without giving up is still worthy of praise. Of course, if he didn't spend all his energy on rebellion, Poseidon might have become a well-known hero all over the world. Good domain master of the gods world.

Minos watched the high priest stepping three times down the city wall, and looked back at the path already covered with corpses.

The black vulture landed next to the corpse of the beast, feasting on it.

Although the most difficult beast has yet to come, it is a rare thing to survive the first wave without any casualties.

There were several baboons that climbed up the wall, but failed to cause any harm to the warriors.

Minos' eyes fell on the end of the path. Under the city wall, the King of Troy led the warriors to recover a large number of arrows and bring back a lot of prey.

The drawbridge was raised again, and the King of Crete led the warriors directly to the entrance of the sanctuary.

At this time, the logistical existence of women and children is particularly important.

Minos sighed, and looked away from the end of the path.

What is he expecting? Thurps will never come back at a time like this.

In fact, Thurps did not intend to go back.

He looked left and right, only to see a few vegetarian beasts running for their lives, and ran down the tree to catch two rabbits, and looked up at the warriors who were eating the fruits from the nearby tree. He beckoned.

"You don't want to die?" Payris' voice was lazy, he didn't have a good rest that night.

"You said it yourself, there will be a window period after the first wave, let's take advantage of this time to go there." There is no water nearby, but don't care so much in extraordinary times, Thurps Looking at many animals that were directly trampled into meat, he clicked his tongue twice, feeling like a waste, "There must be weird things in the forest."

"You know?" Payris also came down from the tree, Thurps stuffed the two kicking rabbits into Payris's arms, and went to pick up branches to make a fire. The other three warriors looked at each other, imitating Sample.

"Didn't you notice? It's been a night, and no wolf has appeared, and I haven't even heard a wolf howl." Thurps turned his head and glanced at him, "And the southern forest we are going to, unfortunately, is the wolf group territory."

Payris pulled out the dagger from his waist and paused slightly.

"Either, the wolves have encountered the most unfortunate thing-but this possibility is relatively small, because there is no lone wolf living alone." Surpus guessed while picking up branches, "Either, it is There was a very clever fellow leading the wolf pack, and avoided the things in the forest, and didn't go to Crete to seek death."

Payris chopped off the rabbit's head with a knife, and raised his eyelids, "What do you want to say?"

"I just think... maybe Miledus is among the wolves." Thurpus's expression brightened instantly, and he looked very proud, "After all, he is my brother."

Payris snorted.

Thurps felt that he was being ridiculed, so he smacked his mouth.

"That's how I feel."

"En." Payris nodded, "It's always good to have hope."

Thurps looked up and curled his lips.

He touched his left waist, sighed, and put a large pile of dead branches and leaves in his arms next to the fire that had already risen.

He just suddenly felt that way, blessed to the soul, inexplicably enlightened.

—Probably from the inexplicable induction between the brothers.

Thurps felt that the stone that had been hanging in his heart fell down lightly and delicately, which made him feel more at ease.

Chapter 28

The rest period of the beast horde didn't last long.

When a few people gnawed halfway through the rabbit, the faint vibration of the ground came again.

Thurps stuffed the rabbit's leg into his mouth, and jumped up the tree nimbly.

He looked at the dust billowing up and being raised high in the sun in the distance, rubbed his half-fed stomach, finished the last meat of the rabbit leg in a few bites, and looked back at Pa, who was almost doing the same movement as him Iris, "How many waves does this take?"

"I don't know, but there must be more than before." Pailis looked back in the direction of the invisible city-state of Crete with a little worry.

The beast tide of this season has never appeared even in the historical records. I don't know if those people in the city-state can bear it.

Thurps nodded, grabbed a few branches and leaves to wipe his hands, and looked around in the light of the already slightly bright sky.

"How is Crete?" Thurps asked.

Payris was silent for a while, and finally gave a not-so-optimistic answer.

He said: "Hang."

Thurps paused, looked away from the branches that had grown from another tree, and looked at Payris.

"In the past, animal swarms were formed because most of the animals in the forest froze to death or starved to death, and they couldn't survive anymore. At that time, they were already hungry and had only the last bit of strength left." Paieris explained Said, "But autumn is when they are fat and strong, so..."

Therefore, those people remaining in the city-state of Crete may not be able to withstand the tide of beasts—if the tide of beasts continues.

Surpus looked down at the animal teeth hanging around his neck.

"It's useless if we go back." Payris thought for a while, and suddenly said: "There must be something terrible in the forest, but didn't you subdue Hydra before?"

After finishing speaking, the leader of the warriors of the city-state of Crete looked at Surpus with hope in his eyes.

"..." Thurps stared at him for a while.

He naturally understood what Payris was thinking, and he just thought that he could handle the thing in the forest that he didn't know what it was.

Thurps rubbed Typhon's teeth on his neck.

How capable he is, he knows it himself.Thurpus knew that the reason why he and Minos could get along with Hydra was only relying on Typhon's Fang.

Although Surps didn't know whether the thing that caused the riot in the forest would be deterred by Typhon's Fang.

"Would you like to try it?" Payris asked.

"I'm not sure." Thurps
