Chapter 131 Hermes Wants to Upgrade His Status

The Arcadia region, surrounded by mountains, is a mountainous area with poor resources and sparsely populated areas.

Arcadia has half as much land as Pylos, but only half the population.

Because it did not have the strength to compete for hegemony in the Peloponnese Peninsula, the Arcadia region had been surrendered to Mycenae since the time of the city's founder.

In the past, the city of Mycenae dominated the entire Argos region and had a firm ally with the Inlis region, which worshiped Poseidon. Naturally, the Arcadia region did not dare to betray the city of Mycenae.

Now the city of Mycenae has not only become hostile to the city of Argos in the Argos region, but has also abandoned Zeus and become hostile to the Inlis region. The city-states in the Arcadia region will naturally betray Mycenae. city ​​ideas.

Under Luo Yin's order, the nobles of Mycenae gathered three thousand soldiers outside the Lion Gate as Luo Yin's force to conquer the Arcadia and Pylos regions.

On the day when Luo Yin was preparing to lead his soldiers on an expedition, not only the nobles of Mycenae and a large number of civilians, but also Atmeta and Yin'ele came to the Lion Gate to see Luo Yin off.

Seeing that Luo Yin really only had three thousand soldiers, Atmeta and Yin'ele came to Luo Yin and said worriedly.

"Tantaros! Even the sparsely populated Arcadia region can muster 10,000 soldiers, and the Pylos region can muster 15,000 soldiers. You only have 3,000 soldiers, and it is impossible to defeat Arcadia. 10,000 soldiers in the area and 15,000 soldiers in the area of ​​Pylos.”

Yin Ele also followed suit.

"Now Atmeta and I rely on you as our husband! If you lose, we will fall into the hands of other men. Can you give up this war, or gather more soldiers to follow you-"

Before Yin Ele could finish speaking, Luo Yin shook his head and said.

"If I take more soldiers from Mycenae, the under-strength city of Mycenae will definitely be attacked by foreign enemies. In fact, for me, it makes no difference whether there are 3,000 soldiers or 5,000 soldiers behind me. Because these three Thousands of soldiers are only used to capture the city, and I will conquer Arcadia and Pylos with my own strength.”

After showing a confident smile to Atmeta and Yin'ele, Luo Yin was ready to set off.

At this moment, Cooper Loyus rode up to Luo Yin and said.

"King Tantalus! Just now, a messenger from Prince Diomedes came to the city of Mycenae. The messenger asked me to tell you that Prince Diomedes is going to launch the Second Theban War with his allies. So you can attack the Arcadia and Pylos areas with confidence. If Diomedes did not lie, then we don’t have to guard Argos and you can take more soldiers from Mycenae.”

"The Second Theban War is about to begin——"

Looking at the Thebes area with complex eyes, Luo Yin got on his horse and said.

"Bringing more soldiers will only delay my march. Just wait for my triumphant return!"

After saying that, Luo Yin took three thousand soldiers and set off to the Arcadia region in the south.

Looking at Luo Yin's retreating figure, everyone's eyes were full of worry, because no one believed that Luo Yin could conquer the Arcadia and Pylos regions at this time.

The most powerful city-state in the Arcadia region is the city of Arcadia, located in the center of the Arcadia region.

King Inasos, who rules the city of Arcadia, is also the great king of the entire Arcadia region.

When Luo Yin arrived in Arcadia with 3,000 soldiers, Yin Assos had already summoned 6,000 soldiers to guard his city.

The city of Arcadia has a solid wall, and the number of soldiers defending the city is twice as many as Luo Yin's soldiers.

If Luo Yin allowed his soldiers to attack the city, even if all three thousand Mycenaean soldiers died in battle, it would still be impossible to break through the city of Arcadia.

So Luo Yin took the divine spear and came to the gate of Arcadia alone.

The daughter of Assos is Atalanta, a heroine of the same era as Hercules.

As the father of Atalanta, Assos is now a white-haired old man over sixty years old.

Seeing that Luo Yin was like Hercules, wanting to break the city of Arcadia with one person, Yin Assos, who was standing on the city wall, couldn't help but say.

"Young child! You are wearing ordinary robes, not the skin of the invulnerable Nemean lion. I don't want you to die miserably in front of my city gate. Return to your soldiers quickly and let They protect your body with a strong shield."

Luo Yin raised his head and looked at Yin Assos on the city wall, then walked to the city gate and waved his left fist.

BANG!

The closed gates of Arcadia were broken open.

Luo Yin walked into Arcadia City through the broken city gate, and then, surrounded by a group of Arcadian soldiers, he climbed up the city wall with his body against the soldiers' spear blades and came to Yin Assos.

Looking at Luo Yin who was unharmed despite dozens of sharp spear blades pressing against his body, Yin Assos opened his eyes in shock and said.

"Are you a human - or a god pretending to be a human?"

"You should know my identity. I am Tantalus, the new king of Mycenae."

Luo Yin said with a smile.

"Yin Assos! If you want to avoid a losing war with me, then surrender to me on behalf of all the city-states in the Arcadia region. If you choose war, I will kill you and then occupy Arcadia. Asia City.”

Yin Assos looked at Luo Yin with complicated eyes and said.

"I heard that after the civil strife in Mycenae, Argos no longer obeyed Mycenae, but worshipped Pallas Athena and chose to ally with Athens. Because Mycenae abandoned Zeus, the Yinlis region would inevitably become an enemy of Mycenae. The weakened Mycenae now faces two powerful enemies. I really want to free Arcadia from the control of Mycenae, but I didn't expect that you are like a great god with an invulnerable body."

"Are you willing to surrender to the Mycenae city I rule?"

"Arcadia The Arcadia region can submit to you, but you must agree to my conditions. In the past, the Arcadia region submitted to the Mycenae city, and the patron saint of our Arcadia region, Hermes, became the son of Zeus, the patron saint of Mycenae city, which means that the Arcadia region will obey Mycenae city like a son. Now the patron saint of Mycenae city, Hestia, is a virgin goddess, and the identity of the god Hermes is naturally impossible to be the son of the goddess Hestia. I require the identity of the god Hermes to be the younger brother of the goddess Hestia. "

"I refuse!"

Luo Yin refused without hesitation.

"Yin Assos! Since you know that the relationship between the patron saint of the Arcadia region and the patron saint of Mycenae is equivalent to the relationship between the Arcadia region and the Mycenae city, then your request for Hermes' identity to be upgraded from son to younger brother means that you think the Arcadia region has the strength to fight against the Mycenae city. In order to correct your wrong idea, it seems that the war between us is inevitable. "

After Luo Yin finished speaking, a thunderous male voice suddenly sounded and said.

"Human, don't go too far. I noticed that Hestia is not with you. It seems that this fallen goddess has not yet recovered her former power. I am willing to become Hestia's brother just to avoid this war. If you insist on humiliating and degrading a god, you will be punished by the god's anger."
