Chapter 356: The Beginning of the War, a Heroic Epic

"The Kingdom of Lakia has invaded."

Freya spoke each word with pause.

The gods had thought something was going to happen, but when they heard this, their faces suddenly fell.

"Is Ares sick again? Just find someone to deal with him."

"He's too persistent. We've fought him six or seven times?"

"Why don't we just send him back to heaven? There's no one there..."

The gods were powerless.

"Lakia" is a very warlike country, and wars often break out.

The soldiers and military personnel are all dependents who have received "God's grace" and are also combatants.

The entire country is essentially a super-large-scale country-like [family]. The kings of all generations - the heads of the family - are also selected by the main god Ares in the way of divine right.

But the renewal of God's grace requires divine blood.

And the gods need to seal their divine power before they can go down to the world. Once they lose too much blood and their lives are in danger, the divine power will automatically break the seal and send the gods back to heaven.

There are many such idiots in history, who accepted a large number of family members, but when updating the status of the family members, they lost too much blood and sent themselves back.

Although all the members of the Kingdom of Lakia are adventurers who have been granted grace, it is difficult to update and upgrade in time.

On the one hand, it is because of the blood of the gods, and on the other hand, if the adventurers do not enter the dungeon, it is difficult to get "experience" and upgrade.

This also led to Ares leading the Kingdom of Lakia to attack Orario six times.

However, because the level of the troops was not high, most of them were Lv.1, and only a few captains and generals were LV.2 and LV3, so they were easily repelled by high-level adventurers in Orario every time.

So that Ares is now ridiculed by other gods as "the god who controls wars but not the victory of wars".

Even for Lv.2 and Lv.3 adventurers, for the first-level adventurers in Orario, a casual blow can mow down a piece of grass.

And the so-called army of 10,000 adventurers is a joke among jokes.

Every time Ares, the god of war, comes with tens of thousands of people and is killed by a dozen adventurers alone, and finally has to kneel on the ground with a humiliated expression... It is a traditional program in Orario.

So much so that the gods are no longer surprised.

"What do you think, is it better to tie up or exhaustion play this time?"

"I think if it's tied up, Ares will have to bleed for a whole day, which takes too long. It's better to tie him up and kneel."

"But Ares doesn't feel anything about being tied up anymore. It's all your fault. You used too many postures in the previous few times, and now he has no reaction..."

"Blame me? Didn't you take the initiative to bring it up..."

Every time the gods speak, they inexplicably make people feel that the amount of information is too much, and the adventurers following them can't help but lower their heads - the Lord God has many more tricks than them adventurers.

"Ahem..." Freya coughed, "I have a suggestion."

The gods quieted down and looked at Freya eagerly.

"I propose that the Hestia Familia be responsible for fighting against the invasion of the Kingdom of Lakia this time."

"No!"

Hestia rejected it loudly as soon as she finished speaking.

Even if Lakia is weak, it is still a large army of 10,000 people.

Usually, the first-level adventurer families of Orario are sent to fight.

How many people are there in the Hestia Familia?

Including the vixen raised in the garrison, there are only three!

And the only one who can really fight is Luke - one person VS 10,000?

Freya, you just want my Luke to die on the battlefield!

Hestia glared at Freya, her little face puffed up like a bun.

"I don't think it's appropriate." Loki said.

"Luke is still too young, he needs some time to grow up, my Loki Familia can help deal with this Lakia invasion."

"Hero, you have to do something a hero should do."

Freya did not agree.

"What's more, the gods in heaven haven't seen a true heroic epic for a long time."

Fighting monsters, savior, and miracle-wielding people - this is a hero.

Give Luke the title of "hero", so he must do what a hero should do.

Like now - one man fighting against thousands of troops.

Otherwise, how can it be called a heroic epic?

Looking at Freya's meaningful smile, and then looking at the gods' intentions.

Loki sighed, and we know that a guy like Freya would never give benefits to others for no reason...

"Hestia, agree to it. Even if your hero can't win, it should be no problem to run away."

"If it doesn't work, you can find someone to help out a little bit, and then you can withdraw and let other members of the family go to fight."

"I want to see! I want to see! I want to see..."

Sure enough, hearing this, the gods were like wild dogs that had broken free from their reins, and they all showed unusual facial expressions.

Although it looks normal at ordinary times, when the things they really want appear before their eyes, the gods will show unprecedented persistence.

Hestia shook her head frantically, and her ponytails were almost spinning like a top.

"No, I don't agree! I absolutely don't agree!"

"Hestia..." Freya whispered, "How about I bet on the hero of Freya's family and let him act with Luke?"

The goddess of beauty said calmly.

The silver-haired boy behind him kept his head down.

The entire conference hall suddenly fell into an unprecedented silence.

Freya's family... hero? !

The gods' eyes were red.

——

"Have you heard about the big news at the God's meeting!"

"I knew it a long time ago."

The middle-aged adventurer looked disdainful.

"The heroes of the Hestia family and the Freya family are going to cooperate to deal with the 10,000-man army of the Kingdom of Lachia, right?"

The young adventurer nodded excitedly.

"Why, seeing you so excited, you also want to try it?"

The middle-aged adventurer couldn't help but pour cold water on the young man.

"They are heroes, we are just ordinary adventurers. Instead of thinking about these, we should think about how to earn this month's living expenses..."

These ordinary adventurers, although they are Lv.1 adventurers, are not even as good as ordinary people who run shops in Orario.

If they don't enter the dungeon and fight hard, they may not be able to eat one day.

"Huh? Uncle, don't you know?"

The young adventurer was stunned.

"What do I know?"

"Freya's family has announced that adventurers below Lv.3 will be temporarily banned from entering the dungeon for half a month, saying that they want to provide a training place for their family's heroes."

"As compensation, Freya's family will provide half a month of free subsidies to all Lv.1 and Lv.2 adventurers in Orario according to the highest standards set by the guild."

The middle-aged adventurer was stunned.

Orario's adventurers, not to mention hundreds of thousands, but there are still tens of thousands.

Moreover, most of these tens of thousands are low-level adventurers in Orario.

Even if the consumption of low-level adventurers is almost a drop in the bucket for first-level adventurers.

But with the number of people going up, the daily consumption of hundreds of millions of fares can only be considered small.

Did they spend all the materials prepared for the next expedition on this?

Is the treatment of heroes so arrogant?

The middle-aged adventurer pinched his thigh fiercely, and the young adventurer grimaced in pain.

"What are you doing, uncle?"

"Why are you standing there? Go get your money, idiot!"

The middle-aged adventurer ran very fast.

An ordinary adventurer like him is old and has no potential. His physical strength can't keep up with the young people in the family.

Usually, he follows the team to explore the dungeon, which is already a supporter of the team.

Now that you can get a big wave for free, who would still chat with you here!

Looking at the middle-aged adventurer's running speed as if he had a second spring, the young adventurer scratched his head.

Freya's family is just staying there, and they won't run away, so why are they in such a hurry...

——

"So, Freya just wants me to go up and play a show match?"

Luke looked weird.

A one-man army is just an adjective for high-level adventurers.

Always, the army of the Kingdom of Lakia is all adventurers, but the army without high-level adventurers is no different from miscellaneous soldiers.

Even if Lv.5 and Lv.6 adventurers are exhausted at the end, they can easily withdraw from the siege of the army at the last moment.

If they are magicians, they don’t even need to go to the front line. They can stand in the rear and become a human turret, which can destroy the army of 10,000 people on the spot.

And monster heroes like Luke cannot be calculated according to normal adventurers. It is not difficult for him to fight in the army.

In fact, it may not be as difficult as breaking through the Istar family alone.

Hestia with tears in her eyes and Loki with a serious expression nodded at the same time.

"Boy, don't take it lightly. If you can't hold on, change people. I will let Finn and others guard in the dark." Loki reminded, "I suspect Freya has arranged people on the opposite side."

Loki has now determined that Luke may be the reincarnation of the old man "Odin".

She said this not to warn Luke of danger, but to remind Luke not to fight to the death - if he was on the verge of death and Odin's power burst out, the scene would be very embarrassing.

"Alan, Hedin, Hegni or... Ota?"

Luke touched his chin.

Loki's eyelids jumped.

All of these people Luke mentioned were Lv.6 adventurers of Freya's family, and the last one was the strongest person in Orario - the fierce Ota.

If they were singled out, there would be no family in Orario that would not be troubled by them.

But when Luke said this, it was like a fruit vendor on the street, these were oranges, bananas, apples...

However, no matter how willful Freya was, she would not consume these elite adventurers like ordinary fruits.

Moreover, Freya would not send out her ultimate weapon to assassinate a Lv.5 who was relatively strong on the surface - that would be a direct declaration of war on Luke.

"Ota is unlikely. He probably has to protect the kid. I heard he just reached Lv.2."

Loki shook his head.

No matter whether the kid is a real hero or a cover put forward by Freya's family.

But Ota is the real core figure of Freya's family now.

He is more important than all the Lv.6 adventurers in Freya.

"Protect Bell. This kid may run faster than Ota in the future."

"Faster than Ota?"

"His father is the fastest supporter of Zeus's family. The combination with Metria will probably make this kid's talent in speed even more amazing."

"I guess this is one of the reasons why Freya is willing to put a Lv.2 adventurer on the battlefield."

Luke explained.

Bell's father can be said to have full talent in picking up girls and running away.

"But he is not faster than Ota. There is such a big difference between the two..."

Loki was speechless.

Did you substitute your own grace template into Bell's deduced result?

Even heroes are not so perverted.

"If Aisi was seriously injured in front of him, maybe he could really do it."

"Huh?!" Loki raised his tone. "What does this have to do with Aisi?"

"Boy, what are you laughing at? Explain it to us clearly. Don't leave. Explain it clearly first?!"

Aisi was seriously injured = Bell's potential for explosion?

What kind of inequality is this?

Loki noticed something wrong.

In response, Luke smiled but said nothing.

Who made Luke's cheat not arrive some time ago, so he didn't have time to stop the "cow girl".

He replaced Bell to join the Hestia family, but Bell also joined the Freya family.

At that time, the weak Bell had not yet blossomed into the glory of a hero, so he was excluded by some adventurers of the Freya family.

Young people are always passionate.

At that time, Ota had not had time to end his solo expedition.

Bell rushed into the dungeon alone...

What happened next was the same as the original timeline.

Bell, the "princess" attacked by the Minotaur, met the "knight" Ais who lent a hand in times of crisis-since then, they fell in love at first sight.

Bell, who had a goal, naturally blossomed with more amazing potential under Ota's sparring.

Unfortunately, Freya is not a simple home goddess like Hestia-she really "eats people".

Bell, who had just been promoted to Lv.2 adventurer, was eaten up.

His skills are expected to undergo some new changes.

…

"Do you think half a month is enough time for him to level up?"

Freya asked.

Ota remained silent.

"Really? Do you also think he can't do it?"

"If you think he can do it, then Bell can definitely do it."

Hermes interrupted with a smile.

But Freya just glanced at him, didn't say much, and chuckled.

But it seemed like she had said everything.

For half a month, Bell will be trained alone in the dungeon.

All high-level adventurers of the entire family, except Ota, will be dispatched.

Potions, magic swords, skill training, magic guidance...all logistics are optimized.

Even the sword lady Ais back then didn't enjoy this treatment.

It can be said that the Freya family even used the entire Orario as a stepping stone for Bell.

If it succeeds, he will become a hero beyond Luke.

But if it fails...

Hermes shuddered. (End of this chapter)
