Godslayer in the Marvel Universe

Chapter 85: Failed to penetrate enemy armor

At this moment, Achilles was like a humanoid Gundam, easily destroying everything that dared to stand in his way.

Of course, in the eyes of the Greek soldiers, he was an armored lion, baring his teeth and claws, tearing apart all his enemies, and leading the Greek coalition forward.

This was a mythical era that revered bravery, where kings and generals were often in the vanguard, but in reality, they rarely charged into the front lines.

Every army has a vanguard, composed of second-line heroes or warriors.

As Agamemnon fell, Achilles, without hesitation, ordered his charioteer to spur the horse forward, sending his chariot ahead of the crowd and becoming the hope in the eyes of all the Greeks.

He was facing the vanguard of the Trojans.

Before the morale boost from Ang's shot that knocked down Agamemnon had even worn off, Achilles unleashed his power.

A Trojan vanguard chariot clashed with Achilles' chariot on the battlefield. Before Penthesilea could even open her eyes wide, the three warriors on the chariot in front were all thrown into the air.

These are three grown men!

The driver, the archer, and the main attacker, all three of them in full armor and weighing at least several hundred pounds, were actually swept away by Achilles with a single spear thrust!

The bronze armor on the chests of the driver and the archer was deeply dented, and they were clearly not going to survive.

The main attacker was still struggling; he had at least managed to block Achilles's first, sweeping attack.

"Ha? Not bad!" Achilles sneered.

In the next instant, the spear changed from a sweeping motion to a thrusting motion.

A golden spearhead appeared in the man's field of vision, and the golden light dancing on the spear blade instantly leaped onto the man's chest.

Without hesitation, the spearhead thrust forward, as if piercing a block of butter, piercing through the breastplate and into the man's chest.

Keep in mind, that person was flying upside down in mid-air!

Those with poor eyesight even thought that Achilles had only used one strike to make the blood spurt out and cause the man to fall to the ground with a thud.

An uproar immediately broke out on the Trojan side!

"Ah! Memnon has been killed by Achilles!"

The one killed was not some nobody; it was Memnon, son of Eos, the goddess of dawn, a general who was quite prominent in the Trojan camp.

If Angle's arrow that killed Agamemnon had helped Troy regain some morale, then Achilles's slaughter pushed the Trojans back into the abyss of despair.

Penthesilea raised his bronze sword and shouted:

"Troys, in the name of Hector—forward!"

"Even if we die, we will die on the road to victory."

The queen's remarkably neutral voice pierced the battlefield with clarity; her command was like a vow, inspiring the enraged Trojans to advance.

Even Penthesilea, an outsider, is fighting desperately, so what reason do we Trojans have to back down?!

The next second, a faint golden light seemed to descend from the sky and then surround every Trojan soldier.

The warriors were slightly surprised, because it seemed as if another layer of phantom weaponry was superimposed on their spears, armor, and helmets.

They quickly realized that this was a blessing from Ares, the god of war.

Few people noticed that Kratos was the only one who didn't glow; there seemed to be an invisible force within him that rejected Ares' blessing.

Penthesilea didn't have time for this.

Even on this uneven battlefield, the tanks can still reach speeds of up to 50 kilometers per hour.

From a few hundred meters away to engaging in combat, it only takes a few breaths.

The towering battle flags planted at the rear of the tanks proclaimed their identities.

King against king!

Checkmate!

Achilles, having killed Memnon in one fell swoop, did not stop. He gave a shout, and his charioteer immediately turned the horse around and charged toward Penthesilea.

Along the way, he brandished his spear and casually killed a whole convoy of Trojan warriors who blocked his path.

It felt like the people stopping him weren't seasoned Trojan warriors, but a cart full of bread-men.

close!

Closer!

He was less than 100 meters away from Pentessilia's car.

Just then, Ang made another move.

"Whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!"

Triple Shot!

Honestly, from the moment Agamemnon fell to his death, Achilles had his eye on the bald, burly man next to Penthesilea.

He believed he had given this excellent mounted archer sufficient attention.

Clearly, this is far from enough.

When the first arrow came, Achilles raised his spear and slashed at it. The thick arrow and the immense force attached to it were nothing in front of Achilles' demigod power. The shaft was cut open as neatly as if slicing tofu, and everything seemed to be a matter of course.

The next instant, Achilles was struck.

The arrow, which was over a meter long, suddenly exploded, turning into a large fragmentation grenade, sending a large amount of wood chips and fire elements flying out.

Caught off guard, Achilles, relying on his divine armor and divine thick skin, was naturally unharmed, but his archer and charioteer were not so lucky.

Fragments mixed with flames pierced their shoulders, and blood splattered.

"Ah!" "Ah!" Two screams announced that Achilles would have to pull the chariot himself.

That wasn't all. The second arrow followed the first. Achilles, on high alert, managed to deflect the second arrow with a clever move, only to have his horse ambushed by a third arrow that flew close to the ground!

Achilles' chariots were equipped with a rare three-horse configuration.

The three horses pulling the chariot were Xanthos and Balius, the immortal steeds bestowed upon them by Poseidon, and Pedasos, a famous horse that was stolen from the city during the attack on Eeheon.

The archer on the other side was very cunning and chose to target his only mortal warhorse.

"hiss--"

Pedasus's dying cry broke Achilles' heart.

Seeing his beloved horse pierced through the chest by a long arrow, Achilles knew perfectly well that it was beyond saving. He was a ruthless man; with one hand holding the reins, he swiftly planted his spear with the other and drew his sword.

With a flash of sword light, all the ropes and other connecting parts that had been tying the horses to the chariot were severed.

Pedasos, positioned between the three warhorses, was dragged under the chariot and crushed before he could even breathe his last.

Achilles' emergency response was, to say the least, quite brilliant.

If someone else were in charge, it would surely end in disaster.

However, the story did not end there. As the wheels rolled over Pedasos, the struggling horse accidentally got one of its legs stuck in the wheel.

Even though the two immortal steeds of the sea god used their immense strength to forcefully pull the wheels, breaking the horse's legs, the deceleration at this crucial moment was extremely fatal.

The Amazon Queen has arrived!

"Die, Achilles!" The harsh shout was like a thunderclap. The queen swung her two-meter-long broadsword and delivered a perfect blow.

She stood firmly on the chariot with her legs spread apart, using all the momentum of the chariot to concentrate all the power of herself and the chariot onto the tip of her spear.

A shot fired at lightning speed feels like teleportation. It's just that the world, in order to compensate for this physical process and ensure its consistency, reluctantly added a mid-shot thrust.

Unfortunately, Achilles on the other side had just abandoned his spear and switched to a sword in order to save his chariot and control his warhorse.

He really couldn't block that attack.

Time seemed to stand still!

To outsiders, it seemed as if Achilles had willingly walked into the line of fire. Even Achilles himself showed a look of horror on his face.

Because the divine armor was pierced by this enemy who also possessed divinity.

It seemed that the attack would pierce through his chest in the next second, but the Amazon Queen's attack, which combined all her power, ultimately failed in the face of Achilles' invincible and indestructible body.

Ang's system notification: [Achilles Preliminary analysis... Discovered (Body of the Styx): Thetis, holding his ankles, submerged him in the Styx River, rendering him invulnerable. Determined to be Physical Resistance Lv100, default armor value 1000.]

Our Penthesilea failed to penetrate the enemy's own armor...
