Chapter 171 A Grand Welcome, Finally Arriving in Troy!

This goddess is overly cautious!

Even though Eris discovered that Artemis was just an avatar, and even though she knew that Artemis could not possibly arrive in time.

Even if she knew—

Forget it! The once audacious goddess, after suffering the excruciating pain of being pierced twice by Artemis's arrows, has developed a somewhat instinctive fear.

Guh—~!

Artemis—My lifelong nemesis!

She made a decision: next time, unless she had stolen Griffith's divine bow and arrows, she would never again appear so easily to face her beloved hero in her true form.

Even for Eris, Artemis had become a more hated first-order being than Athena, who had stolen Griffith's first kiss.

If it weren't for that arrow, with his divine power, he could have controlled, monitored... cough, anyway, if it weren't for that arrow, he should now be able to meet Griffith Stan honestly, talk all night, confide in each other, and know each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Eris, whose expression grew increasingly depressed and gloomy as he thought about it, suddenly sensed something and paused for a moment.

Just after Ye and the others left, the Cygnus statues scattered across the battlefield, which had almost merged with the Greek world, suddenly emitted a faint light.

The sacrificial ceremony suddenly began.

Eris: "…………"

"You really gave me a surprise, Cooknos."

What kind of idiot would have the mind to secretly inscribe a sacrificial ritual when they were about to become that kind of monster and fight to the death?

The ritual is initiated when one's own life or death is imminent, and the target of the ritual is oneself.

Whoosh! The light emitted by the Cygnus suddenly shot straight into the sky, then split into countless beams of light that shot out to all parts of the land, while also spreading Eris's chaotic divine power.

For a time, Eris found himself more adept at wielding power over the land, and it became easier for him to create conflict and chaos.

the other side--

After a long and arduous journey, Artemis finally led Night on a long detour around Troy and arrived at the capital city of Troy.

She had given a prior divine decree that the hero Griffith would arrive with two royal princesses, the queen, and his divine deer, and instructed the old king of Troy and the heroes to prepare to receive him.

Artemis was too embarrassed to say that the fawn was herself.

Even a hunting goddess like her has her pride in public!

However, after issuing the divine decree, Artemis's power was even weaker. In order to save some power to maintain this avatar, otherwise she would have liked to take Night for a few more laps and enjoy some time alone together.

This caused great suffering for the Chryseis sisters, who were stuffed into the antler space and whose senses of the outside world were completely blocked by Artemis.

What's more painful than being locked up in a dark room is being put in jail.

Especially since they are two girls who have feelings for Ye Xin, facing a goddess who seems to have ill intentions towards the hero Griffith, even if you could just look at her from the butt.

Having Athena as a formidable opponent is already incredibly stressful, but now Artemis is catching up from behind.

And we can't afford to play this game...

Since they couldn't see anything, they could only imagine and fill in the blanks. The more they imagined, the more they wondered why Lady Artemis was blocking their senses and what lewd things she was doing outside...

finally--

This ordeal ended with their arrival in Troy.

When the divine deer arrived and released Chryseis and the others...

The old King Priam, riding alongside Hector and a host of heroes, was already waiting there.

When Chryseis, Briceth, and even Hercules returned safely.

The heroes had no more doubts about Griffith's intentions and immediately erupted in excited cheers.

They were initially somewhat nervous and on high alert, and if they had previously been a little nervous because they regarded Griffith as a hypothetical enemy, then they were now even more nervous.

After all, he was the hero who almost defeated Hector. Anyone with eyes could see that if he hadn't been unlucky and missed his last shot, he would have successfully killed Hector.

He then fought his way out of Greece, defeating countless heroes, even killing demigods, defeating his former companions, and slaying two incarnations of gods.

They were facing heroes who were so powerful, as if from a different dimension.

Any achievement they make is something they could never attain in their entire lives.

How can we prevent the heroes from feeling nervous, or even fearful, when we are to be their enemy?

But the more they feared this power, the more they realized that Griffith had truly come to join them.

There is nothing more inspiring or reassuring than having such a powerful teammate.

grass--!

Finally, the new dad has arrived!

The heroes couldn't help but wonder—since Griffith has come, does that mean that the goddess Artemis and the goddess Athena are now on our side?

Hector led the way, dismounting and bowing to the night.

When he saw his sisters return safely, he knew how much Ye had sacrificed for this, even giving up his name, identity, country, and his own life just to have a tiny chance to save his family.

And he succeeded...

Hector was deeply moved.

When the other heroes saw that Hector had paid such a great respect, they immediately dismounted and bowed in return, not daring to be arrogant.

Night also descended from Artemis, returning the favor...

The group then happily handed over the responsibilities.

After handing the unconscious Hercules over to the men of King Priam to be taken away and cared for.

The Chryseis sisters, along with Griffith, were escorted back to the city.

Because of his previous deception of the gods and his fabricated identity as a descendant of heroes, Hector did not acknowledge Night at this time.

Instead, they treated the night with the same hospitality as the most powerful Greek hero who had defected to Troy.

Many heroes have shown goodwill towards Night, willing to join forces with this noble and powerful hero and become his friend.

After all, the title of "hero of charity" was soon spread from the front lines after the story of him returning the armor to Achilles.

It is not a self-proclaimed title, but a glorious title bestowed upon it by everyone who recognizes it.

This is also why Cygnus previously referred to the night as a noble and benevolent hero.

Of all these acts of kindness, Pentesilla was the most delighted...

I never imagined I'd have the chance to work with him one day.

This hero taught her how to fight on instinct, and whose strength and appearance perfectly met the ideal criteria for a girl who grew up in the Amazon.

For Penthesilea, if it weren't for her lingering desire for revenge and the tragic lesson of her elder sister Hippolyta being deceived by a man, she wouldn't be too concerned about finding a man...

Without these restrictions, she might have already been tempted to challenge the night according to their Amazonian rules.

Chapter 172 Humans are inferior to animals; the Amazon queen is envious, and Paris is hostile.

The Amazon is a well-known matriarchal society where men are completely absent. Women typically reproduce by invading neighboring tribes and hunting men.

Girls were kept after birth, while sons were given to their husbands to raise, thus maintaining the national tradition of having only daughters.

But as Queen, Pentesea's requirements for a partner are naturally not so simple.

Those worthy of her active hunting must be at least heroes, and this prerequisite determines that her hunting targets will be all of Greece and the entire world.

As the daughter of Ares, the god of war, most heroes are far too weak for her, practically no different from easy prey.

Strong warriors would never be interested in greyhounds, unless they have a particular fetish.

However, considering that his father had just been humiliated by Griffith's gold coins, he was completely outmatched.

Pentesilla could only suppress her admiration.

However, the shy Queen was not as proactive as her older sisters.

This caused her to miss opportunities time and time again, and she later regretted watching helplessly as one shameless goddess or heroine after another overtook her.

such as--

Just like now...

At the banquet welcoming the great hero Griffith, all the heroes drank and made merry.

A bard sang praises of Griffith's achievements!

All the heroes agreed with him; he was undoubtedly the most dazzling hero of this era.

The question of whether someone is the strongest is always debatable, but no one would disagree that they are the most dazzling.

At the banquet, many princesses also made an appearance, and they were all curious about Griffith, the legendary hero.

Even before Ye possessed his bewitching charm, his good looks were enough to make the daughters of his good friend Telephorus envious, who vied to offer themselves to him, even in the kingdom of the descendants of Hercules on the coast of Misia.

Not to mention Ye, whose charm and fame are now terrifyingly great.

Once the princesses saw Ye, they couldn't take their eyes off him, as if they were welded to him, captivated by his amazing charm.

They vied to curry favor with Ye and offer him wine. If Ye were willing, these princesses would probably be very willing to offer their virginity, even without a title, as leaving offspring would be a bonus.

Seeing his daughters acting like shameless prostitutes, the old King Priam felt no shame. Instead, he acted as if he hadn't seen them at all, and was still enjoying the banquet with a smile on his face.

After all, no matter how many daughters you have, none are as important as a hero's grandson.

Not to mention, this is the bloodline of an SSR-level hero.

For the royal family, apart from a small number of children they truly love and favor, most of the children are merely tools to win people's hearts.

Priam had over fifty sons and daughters; you couldn't expect him to have feelings for each of them.

For this old king, apart from Hector and Paris, the other children were probably unimportant in his eyes.

For Hector, that was his most outstanding eldest son, his pride and joy, the strongest hero in all of Troy.

For Paris—it was a debt he had owed for decades, and the guilt he felt made him pay more attention to, and even gradually spoil, his youngest son.

The remaining children were not so lucky; even Cassandra, who had precognitive abilities, was not very popular.

Looking at those shameless princesses who wished they could strip naked and merge into the body of night, I see...
