Jiang Liu (Hercules) shook his head: “Although my arrow did pierce Odysseus’ body without error, he must have survived in some way… I have this feeling.”

Medea frowned, glanced at Circe, and asked for her: “What is the basis for your saying this?”

“It’s just a hunch. If I have to say it, it’s that the ‘feel’ is not right. There’s no feeling of ‘taking a life’.” Jiang Liu smiled.

“Huh?” Everyone, including Drake, showed a subtle expression.

“The feel… But you’re shooting arrows, not chopping things yourself, so where’s the feel?”

“It’s up to you to believe it or not. I’m just giving you a reminder.” Jiang Liu laughed.

“For things like this… it’s better to believe it than not. At worst, we can make two more plans before the battle.”

Jason thought about it and decided to believe Jiang Liu’s words.

“And, from now on, my enemy is not just Odysseus…right, Captain Drake.”

“Is it finally my turn to speak?”

The red-haired female pirate took off her hat and placed it aside, revealing her attractive tan skin and bright smile.

“We are all heroes in pan-human history, so please take care of us in the future. Yes, our enemy is not just Odysseus, there are even more terrifying guys waiting for us.”

“What’s more terrifying… the lunar orbital cannon?” Medea asked tentatively.

“No, that kind of thing is used to take the initiative. What I really mean is a huge tree that seems to support the whole world.” The red-haired female pirate said meaningfully, “Don’t you want to know what I saw?”

Hercules straightened his back, and Jiang Liu, who was in the possessed state, also became serious. After all, the “big tree” that Drake mentioned was most likely the imaginary tree in the Greek Lostbelt.

“Then please tell us about it.”

Drake chuckled, and then continued, “When I was summoned just now, I was not on a small island, but fell directly on the sea. I didn’t even have time to summon my beloved Golden Deer… Then, I saw it.

In the center of the sea, there is an extremely huge whirlpool that swallows everything, and in the center of the whirlpool is a strange tree that reaches into the sky, and it is unknown what kind of tree it is.

In order to avoid being swallowed by the whirlpool, I just took a quick look and used the treasure to leave. Now looking at your reactions, it really is a very important thing, right?

However, it is not easy to get close to it. I tried to get close afterwards, but first of all, the water flow was too fast and it was difficult to control the boat. And then… there was an unimaginably powerful “gatekeeper” there!”

Having said that, Drake took a deep breath, and the smile on his face disappeared without a trace. It seemed that he could still feel the oppressive feeling that made him unable to move.

“It’s hard for me to describe what it is, but I can say responsibly that it is the overlord of the sea. Compared to it, my fleet and Odysseus’s are just a pile of rotten wood and scrap metal.”

Chapter 1081: The Fantasy Tree Strategy

[Mechagod Poseidon], this is the strongest gatekeeper guarding the Fantasy Tree in the Maelstrom.

Even the roaming Drake couldn’t fight against him, let alone a head-on confrontation. If Poseidon himself hadn’t had some problems, and if Drake hadn’t always had good luck, she might not have been able to escape.

“Even you can’t beat Poseidon.”

Drake said bluntly, “It’s OK to deal with Odysseus, but Poseidon is a monster of another level. Can you believe it? I have increased the power of the treasure to the limit, but I couldn’t even break the opponent’s outermost armor.

Although you are very strong, Hercules, I don’t think you can handle a monster like that.”

“Is it so exaggerated? Even Hercules…” Jason’s expression became serious, and the frivolous smile on his face disappeared.

Hercules remained silent, as if he was worried about something.

“According to you, if we want to defeat this Lostbelt and save our human history, we need to cut down the Fantasy Tree, right?”

Drake shook his head. “This is too difficult. I can’t think of a way to break through Poseidon’s guards. Of course, you saved my life. If you decide to fight, I will definitely lead the charge for you.”

“Thank you… but there may not be no hope.”

Jason’s thoughtful words attracted everyone’s attention, and the blond man spoke softly.

“Captain Drake is right. I am not naive enough to think that a Servant can fight against a true god, or even a weird existence like the Machine God…

But we overlooked one thing, that is, our ultimate goal is to cut down the fantasy tree, not to “destroy Poseidon” – it looks like the same thing, but it is actually different. “

“Do you want to make a feint to the east and attack in the west?” Drake, as the commander of the British fleet, immediately understood Jason’s idea.

“Have someone distract Poseidon and send other forces to destroy the Illusion Tree?”

“This, doesn’t seem to be impossible.”

The young girl Medea blinked and said, “Besides, we can let Jason drive the Argo as bait. I believe that with his sailing skills that are ranked among the best in Greece, he will be able to complete the difficult task assigned to him.”

“You vicious woman… do you want to kill me?” Jason immediately complained, “I am good at sailing, but the treasure I brought with me this time is the Argo, and I didn’t bring any lethal or defensive treasures… To Poseidon, I am just a fragile bubble – a light blow can destroy a large area.”

“If that can buy time, your sacrifice will not be in vain,” Medea said calmly.

“you–“

“That’s one way of thinking.” Jiang Liu interrupted Jason who was about to swear, “However, with only one or two servants, I’m afraid we can’t even get involved. If we want to truly implement the plan of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west, we must have enough combat power to temporarily hold back Poseidon.”

“Well… no matter how I think about it, it’s only you.” Circe pointed at Jiang Liu.

“I can’t imagine anyone else who can do it except you. Although you are the counterpart of Poseidon, the king of the sea, you might be able to do it if you are known as the “strongest”. “

“Hercules alone is surely not enough!”

Jason said seriously, “We must increase our combat power! With the amount of manpower we have now, let alone splitting it into two groups, it would not be enough even if we used all of them to contain Poseidon, and we need another surprise attack team.”

“This is a difficult problem. Servants don’t grow out of the ground. It’s good enough if we can get these six people together.” Circe curled her lips.

“Just keep looking!”

Cassandra suddenly interrupted and said, “In the ‘future’ I have seen, many Servants will slowly gather around us, and we can confront the guards of the Lostbelt head-on.”

“Can you find them?”

“can!”

Cassandra nodded vigorously. “I’m afraid that’s why I was summoned.”

“In this case… yes, yes! It will definitely work!”

Jason shook his fist fiercely. “There is no way out if we just sit here. Although Cassandra has a sharp tongue, her prophecies have led us to choose the right direction more than once. This plan is worth a try!”

“If you have decided, you must act quickly. Odysseus is not someone you can easily deal with. Although we caused him to suffer a great loss this time, this is his home ground, and the losses of the fleet will surely be replenished quickly.”

Drake grinned and said unhappily, “Besides, the next time we meet… he will definitely prepare new methods to deal with us!”

Hearing this, Jiang Liu nodded in agreement.

Don’t be too optimistic about Odysseus and think that he may not make so many preparations… In fact, he will definitely prepare in advance, and it will definitely be beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

There’s nothing I can do about it, he’s just such a cautious man.

“So, Frances Drake, the queen of pirates, would you like to join us?” Jason stood up and dusted himself off.

“Didn’t I tell you that I would be your vanguard?” Drake smiled. “I am actually holding my breath to return it to Odysseus. Besides, my Golden Deer still needs repairs and its sailing speed is not very fast, so of course I have to take a ride on your ship.”

“Let’s go now without further delay.”

Jason turned his gaze to Cassandra: “Now, show us the way, High Priest.”

Cassandra slowly closed her eyes, as if attracting the surrounding sunlight. Sparkling golden spots appeared on her body, and waves of obscure magical power rippled and spread.

Jiang Liu keenly sensed that something in the dark had been touched. It was a ball of thread entangled with cause and effect and possibility, which ordinary people could never untie, and could not even detect its existence.

He had a feeling that if he drew out the “Sword of Cutting Destiny”, he could definitely untie the knot of fate like the legendary Alexander, and make all divination and prophecy abilities in this world ineffective…

However, he is still dormant in Hercules’ body, so this kind of thing is just a thought.

“found it!”

Cassandra opened her eyes in surprise: “And there is more than one!”

“Ok?”

Everyone perked up and listened to the priestess’ next words.

“To the east, the breath of the sun has fallen… and is now with a snake. And to the southeast… Tsk, there is a nasty creature that is as short-lived as a shooting star!”

Chapter 1082: Female Ninja and Uncle

Generally speaking, “fate” is an elusive existence that people revere.

Because it is always shrouded in the veil of “unknown”, it arouses special curiosity, but only a few people can lift the veil.

Priestess Cassandra is such a being.

Apollo of ancient Greece was regarded as the sun god in later generations, but his original deity was art, music and prophecy. These functions seem not as powerful as those of other main gods, but in fact, in Greece of that era, these were the most important areas.

Cassandra is a priestess of Apollo, and is given the ability to “prophesy within a limited range.”

Ordinary people can only let fate take their course and are entangled in the thread of fate, unable to break free.

Cassandra’s treasure can find the information she needs from the intricate “ball of thread”, so that she can see the “right path” and make accurate predictions.

——Of course, people know the right path but may not necessarily take it, and Cassandra herself was unable to escape the malicious vortex of fate.

The priestess’s treasure sounds a lot like “clairvoyance” or “future vision”?

We have to admit that there are similarities, but they are actually slightly different. “Clairvoyance” and “future vision” are more or less random. Even special beings like Merlin and Gilgamesh cannot see whatever they want.

Cassandra did not “see” the future directly. When she did not activate her Noble Phantasm, she just had a better intuition.

Even if one uses a Noble Phantasm, the information obtained is only extremely partial and fragmentary.

However, she could guarantee that the information she obtained was “correct”.

Because she activated the Noble Phantasm with a purpose, Apollo’s protection ensured that she would only get the “correct answer” that corresponded to what she was seeking, but would not see anything unnecessary.

It is equivalent to doing a math problem and seeing the answer directly while ignoring the process. It is more accurate than Merlin’s – because Merlin will try to find “why”.

Of course, the future is continuous, not isolated, and being “right” at a certain moment does not mean it will always be right.

Sometimes, Cassandra’s prophecy may turn into a terrible misleading…

However, excluding the characteristics of the Noble Phantasm, in terms of the strength of the “Prophet” ability alone, Cassandra is not as good as Merlin and Gilgamesh.

In terms of quantitative comparison, Cassandra can only be described as “A+”: she can see the intelligence of most beings below the level of gods and some gods.

Merlin and the others are “EX”: they can even see some information about “beasts”.

–

“Brother!”

“Hey, long time no see. I didn’t expect to meet you in a place like this, Kasa.”

“That’s great! Having the help of my elder brother is better than having a hundred of the best warriors!”

“Haha, don’t say that, brother, I’ll be embarrassed…”

In the woods where a battle had just ended, the bodies of several monsters fell to the ground. A man who looked somewhat old and who fit the word “uncle” very well was hugging Cassandra and stroking the priestess’ head affectionately.

Cassandra had once vowed to remain chaste for the rest of her life, so it was hard to imagine her taking the initiative to get close to a man like this, but it would not be surprising if you knew the real name of this spear-wielding warrior.

Because he is “Hector”, the prince of Troy, who single-handedly fought against many heroes of the Greek coalition forces and was a man of “iron wall”!

Although he was defeated by Achilles, his name will not be tarnished because everyone knows that he is a truly responsible hero.

“It’s actually Hector.”

Jason watched this scene from afar and said to Hercules with some emotion.

“Is this the bond between siblings? Times have changed, and they can still meet in the Lostbelt… I’m a little envious.”

Hercules glanced at him and remained silent.

It is normal for Jason to express his feelings, because most Greek heroes do not have a happy family…

Including him, everyone will be oppressed by various powers, fame, and hatreds, and it is rare that the situation can be described as “happy and harmonious”.

The royal family of Troy seems to be better. Hector has a good relationship with his brothers and sisters, and there is no fratricide among them…but there is one person who is a traitor!

“My Lords, I am the assassin Chiyome Mochizuki. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future!”

In addition to Hector, everyone also found a female servant, Chiyo Mochizuki, who had one eye covered and was dressed in a neat ninja outfit.

This person is also quite famous in the Far East. Although he is not as well-known as Fuma Kotaro and Hattori Hanzo, he is also a master of ninjutsu with superb skills.

It is worth mentioning that she was a female in history… a genuine female ninja, not a gender changer.

She has a very petite figure, perhaps even smaller than Medea, but her appearance is very cute, perfectly combining the shyness of a girl with the sexiness of a ninja, which is very eye-catching.

It is said that she and Hector landed very close to each other. After they met, they gained trust in each other after some testing. However, since they had neither sea chart nor ship, they decided to stay on the island temporarily.

When Jiang Liu and his crew found Hector and Chiyome, they were clearing out the monsters in the forest.
