Chapter 247: Fighting the Calydonian Hero Alone

Of course, Luo Yin would not take Altea's threat to heart. After all, Luo Yin's confidence in replacing the patron saint of the Calydon region was not Artemis's assistance, but Luo Yin's own strength.

Looking at the tit-for-tat confrontation between Atalanta and Althea, Luo Yin said with a joking smile.

"The goddess Althea protects the Calydon region like a mother. Even if you have the strength to defeat Artemis in the Calydon region, it does not mean that you can defeat me. I will let you see the relationship between you and me. What a huge gap in strength there is.”

After speaking with confidence, Luo Yin turned around and left Althea's temple.

As soon as Luo Yin walked out of the temple, Atalanta chased Luo Yin to the courtyard outside and stood in front of Luo Yin and said.

"Meleager, do not underestimate your enemies. You must defeat those enemies who prevent Artemis from ruling the Calydon region."

Looking at Atalanta, who had a solemn expression, as if she was fighting for the throne for herself, Luo Yin couldn't help but stretched out his right hand to touch her little face, and said with deep meaning.

"Atalanta! Have you never thought that since I can betray the mother-like goddess Althea, of course I can also betray Artemis. Do you naively think that I really love you like a fool and am willing to Give yourself everything for you?”

"What do you mean?"

Facing Atalanta's question, Luo Yin did not explain and returned directly to the palace where he lived.

Half a month later.

Agreus and his three sons summoned the nobles of Calydon and the leaders of various tribes to form a fifty-member Calydonian Heroes, and came to Calydon together.

Perhaps this is the prototype of the heroes who hunted the Calydonian boar in myth.

The Calydon boar released by the goddess of hunting Artemis to ravage the Calydon region naturally fell in love with Atalanta and wanted Artemis to rule Luo Yin in the Calydon region.

After fifty Calydon heroes and 2,500 soldiers surrounded Calydon City, Luo Yin, who had been waiting impatiently, immediately went out of the city to fight.

Outside the city of Calydon.

On the narrow plain between the Calydon city and the mountains, Luo Yin walked alone outside the city and faced fifty Calydon heroes and their soldiers.

After hearing the news, Oeneus and Tydeus chased Luo Yin to the outside of the city, wanting to fight the enemy with Luo Yin.

Luo Yin betrayed the goddess Althea, causing the nobles and tribal leaders in the Calydon region to all support Agrios. Oeneus did not blame Luo Yin for this.

After all, in real history where gods do not exist, Meleager's betrayal of the goddess Althea was just an excuse for Agrios to attack Meleager.

The nobles and tribal leaders in the Calydon region all support Agrios. The real reason is that Agrios is stronger and has more hope of becoming the new King of Calydon.

After Oeneus and Tydeus caught up with Luo Yin, Luo Yin stopped and turned around and said.

"Dear father! My foolish brother Tydeus! You think that I became king in the powerful foreign countries of Colchis and Troy, but it was really because Aphrodite, the goddess of love, protected me and gave me a foreign princess. Love? Maybe it’s hard for you to believe, but I conquered foreign countries with my own strength. Princesses and goddesses, let them be willing to sacrifice everything for me. I am stronger than you think. If you want to fight with me, you will only become a hindrance to me. If you really want to help me, then. You just stand outside the battlefield and watch how I defeat our enemy."

Looking into Luo Yin's dissatisfied eyes, Onius nodded helplessly and said.

"My child! If you really think that Tydeus and I are a burden, we can stay outside the battlefield. But as the father of Meleager, I know very well that my son only has the strength to kill two heroes. . Faced with the siege of fifty heroes, my son Meleager will be killed in an instant.”

In mythology, the biggest prerequisite for Hercules and Achilles to become undefeated heroes is that Hercules wears the invulnerable Nemean lion skin, and Achilles has the invulnerable divine armor.

So no matter how powerful the enemy is, those who die will always be the enemies of these great heroes.

Because these great heroes are absolutely impossible to kill by humans.

Although Meleager was the mythical leader of the Argonauts and Calydon heroes, he was not invulnerable.

In addition, Meleager is not a deified demigod hero, so it is obviously impossible for him to face the siege of heroes by himself.

This is also the reason why Oeneus and Tydeus want to fight with Luo Yin.

But Luo Yin was not Meleager.

After letting Oeneus and Tydeus stop, Luo Yin walked towards the Calydon heroes led by Agrius alone, and summoned the divine spear with his right hand.

When Luo Yin walked to the center of the battlefield, Agrios immediately led fifty Calydon heroes to surround Luo Yin, looked at Luo Yin like a winner and said.

"My dear nephew, I didn't expect that when I summoned the nobles and chiefs to support me, you did nothing. I really don't know whether you are too stupid and naive, or crazy enough to think that you are as powerful as a god. Now. I will defend the goddess Althea and punish you and your family. If you are willing to give up resistance, I can promise not to harm you, but to drive you and Tydeus out of the Calydon region."

Luo Yin looked at the nobles and leaders around Agrios, and said with a playful smile on his face.

"It seems that in this era where the strong are respected, the nobles and leaders support you who are young and strong more than the old Oeneus. Oeneus has long been just the nominal king of Calydon. If it is the real Meleager, because he is a young hero without prestige, he will definitely lose miserably in front of you."

"Since you know that you have no hope of victory, surrender to your uncle!"

"I will return this sentence to you. As long as you kneel in front of me and beg for mercy, I promise to let you live and just drive you out of the Calydon area."

"You are really crazy!"

Agrios, who was angered by Luo Yin, immediately ordered forty-nine companions to attack Luo Yin together.

Forty-nine Calydon heroes equipped with sophisticated weapons immediately attacked Luo Yin's body with spear blades, sword blades, axe blades and other weapons.

Luo Yin stood in place without dodging or evading, allowing these weapons to fall on him.

The next moment!

Weapons rained down on Luo Yin, but did not cause any damage to Luo Yin's body.

Seeing this scene, everyone widened their eyes and showed an expression of disbelief.

"Tydeus..."

Oeneus asked his youngest son Tydeus in a trembling voice.

"That man... is he really your brother?"

Even when Althea protected Meleager, Meleager did not have an invulnerable body.

Now Luo Yin betrayed Althea.

Artemis, the fallen wandering goddess, is even less likely to give Luo Yin an invulnerable body.

So there are only two possibilities for the miracle in front of us. The first possibility is that the powerful patron gods of other city-states gave Luo Yin an invulnerable body, and the second possibility is that Luo Yin himself has an invulnerable body.
