Chapter 210 The New King of Pylos
Twin brothers have two different fathers, which is a very rare situation in reality.
But in mythology, it is very common for twin brothers to have two different fathers.
The two twin brothers born to Hercules' mother Alcmene, the eldest son Inphicles is the child of her husband Amphitryon, and the younger son Hercules is deified as the son of Zeus.
The twins born to Leto, the wife of Tyndareus, the king of Sparta, are also considered to be one child of Tyndareus and the other son of Zeus.
Neleus, the king of Pylos, and his brother Pelias are also twins.
Although there is a version of the myth that Neleus and Pelias are both sons of Poseidon, in the correct myth, only Neleus, who brought the worship of Poseidon to the Pylos area, is the truly deified son of Poseidon.
Pelias, like other demigod twins, is the child of a human father and his mother.
On the battlefield of the Pylos Plain.
Luo Yin came to Neleus with the divine spear and saw King Tenaron challenging Neleus.
Although King Tenaron showed great courage like an angry bull, this courage did not change the gap in strength between him and Neleus.
In the first confrontation between the two, Neleus's spear pierced King Tenaron's neck and turned King Tenaron into a corpse.
After killing King Tenaron, Neleus breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the war had finally been decided.
At this time, Neleus had learned that all eleven sons had died in the battle, but as long as the war was won, the sacrifice of his sons would be valuable.
"Tenaron people! Your king has been killed by me. Surrender to me quickly and I will become your new king."
After Neleus shouted this sentence loudly, the soldiers of both sides in the center of the battlefield immediately stopped fighting.
At this time, Luo Yin walked up to Neleus and said.
"Neleus! Thank you for stopping the fighting between the soldiers of both sides. I will become the new king of Pylos, so I don't want to see the soldiers of both sides killing each other."
"You——"
Neleus looked at Luo Yin in shock, and guessed Luo Yin's identity.
Looking at Neleus's reaction, Luo Yin said directly and frankly.
"I am the murderer who killed your eleven sons. Now I will send you to the underworld to reunite with your sons."
"Are you King Haemon of Thebes?"
Knowing that Luo Yin killed his eleven sons, Neleus could not suppress the anger and hatred in his heart, and immediately rushed towards Luo Yin with his spear.
Luo Yin stood in place, allowing Neleus's spear to pierce his body, and at the same time pierced Neleus' heart with the blade of his divine spear.
The next moment!
Neleus's spear blade was bounced back by Luo Yin's invulnerable body, and Luo Yin's spear blade directly penetrated Neleus' body.
The Tenaron soldiers and Pylos soldiers around saw this scene, and the morale of the Tenaron soldiers was greatly boosted. The Pylos soldiers collapsed and gave up the battle.
The balance of victory was settled and tilted to the city of Tenaron.
At the same time as the war was decided, Persephone also slashed Poseidon with a golden sickle, almost cutting off Poseidon's left arm.
The seriously injured Poseidon immediately fled in embarrassment and flew back to the Yinlis area in the north.
When the Tenaron soldiers cheered for the victory of the war, Persephone turned into a human figure and came to Luo Yin and said.
"Thanks to your help, brother, sister was able to win this war and drive away Poseidon. Now King Tenaron and King Neleus of Pylos have died in battle. Next, you will be the new king of Tenaron and Pylos, and rule the entire Pylos area!"
Hearing Persephone's words, Luo Yin did not refuse, but nodded and said.
"Sister Persephone! Although Neleus and his eleven sons died in the battle, his youngest son Nestor is still in Pylos. Next, I will occupy Pylos and drive Nestor back to his hometown, Iolcas in Thessaly. But before that, I will gather the Pylos soldiers and turn them into my soldiers."
"Then I will perform a miracle to help you!"
After that, Persephone urged her divine power to make a goddess phantom standing tall on the battlefield.
Although Neleus, the king who ruled Pylos, and his twelve sons were all invaders from Thessaly, most of the Pylos soldiers were locals in the Pylos region. The god they worshipped was not the foreign Poseidon, but the goddess Persephone who had been guarding the Pylos region for thousands of years and brought agricultural harvests to the region.
Seeing the goddess' shadow holding a sickle, it was the image of Persephone. The Tenaron soldiers and Pylos soldiers on the battlefield all knelt on the ground to worship the goddess.
Witnessed by 30,000 soldiers, Persephone declared with a thunderous voice.
"Humans! Now the gods who invaded the Pylos region have been driven away. In order to bring long-term peace to the Pylos region, I will choose a new king for you to rule the entire Pylos region."
After Persephone finished speaking, the sickle in the goddess's shadow turned into a normal-sized golden sickle and fell into Luo Yin's hands.
Seeing Luo Yin raise his left hand and hold Persephone's golden sickle, everyone understood that this was the divine right of kingship. Luo Yin was the one chosen by Persephone - the great king who ruled the entire Pylos region.
With Persephone's public support, Luo Yin successfully controlled the soldiers of Tenaron and Pylos and led 30,000 troops to Pylos.
When Luo Yin arrived at Pylos with 30,000 troops, Nestor, who had only 500 soldiers, surrendered directly out of the city, expressing his willingness to submit to Luo Yin, and only asking Luo Yin to let him inherit the throne of Neleus.
Although Nestor was not a threat to Luo Yin, Luo Yin still rejected Nestor's request and sent Nestor to Iolcas to compete with Acastus and Peleus for the throne.
After forming a noble council in Pylos and handing over Pylos to the council for management, Luo Yin returned to Tenaron with the soldiers of Tenaron.
Tenaron.
The palace.
When he left here, Luo Yin was still a guest.
When he returned here, Luo Yin had become the host.
The noisy hall.
When Luo Yin walked in here, he saw that the nobles were all gathered here, holding a banquet to celebrate Luo Yin's triumph.
Persephone was sitting on the throne in the hall wearing a golden crown. It was obvious that she was the host of the banquet.
Seeing Luo Yin walk into the hall, Persephone stood up from the throne and walked towards Luo Yin and said.
"My dear husband is here! Dear nobles, I will marry Haemon as a princess and rule the Kingdom of Pylos with him."
Although Persephone supported Luo Yin's rule over the Pylos region with the identity of a god, Luo Yin was an outsider after all.
In order for Luo Yin to be recognized by the locals, the best way is marriage.
So Persephone wanted to transform into a human princess and marry Luo Yin.
Persephone came to Luo Yin and wanted to pull Luo Yin to the throne together. Ariadne rushed over to block the two of them, staring at Persephone with anger and said.
"So you pretended to be a human just to marry my brother."
