The Warrior of Love

Of course, draining the earth veins is not an easy task. Even though Odysseus took strict precautions, the restraining force still summoned servants such as Jason and Medea.
In the process of constantly summoning and hunting pan-human history servants, the Lostbelt obtained a large amount of information about pan-human history through these servants, and the biggest gain was the Sage Chiron.
Yes, that Centaur Servant was summoned once before, and then killed by Odysseus and Chiron of the Lostbelt, and even his “divine wisdom” was absorbed by his other self.
The Chiron in the Lostbelt where the two are combined has obviously improved a lot, both in strength and wisdom… but perhaps due to mental pollution, he began to understand the feelings of Chiron in the pan-human history.
Although he didn’t know Hercules and Jason, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart when he heard these two names, and he couldn’t help but frown at the thought of becoming their enemy.
However, he had no choice. No matter what impact the spirit of the pan-human Schiron would have, he would only make the same choice from beginning to end: obey the will of the gods and destroy the enemies who dared to invade this world!
“Don’t underestimate these Servants. Although there are not many of them, this is the last struggle of pan-human history (restraint).”
Odysseus continued, “If we can completely defeat them here, then even if Chaldea arrives, they will be in a dilemma of “not being able to summon servants and not getting support from the suppression force”, and then winning this survival competition will be a piece of cake.”
“Is it really that simple?” Chiron thought.
Odysseus turned his head when he heard this, as if asking for his opinion.
The Centaur Sage said meaningfully: “The battle plan that Kirshtalia formulated for us can be said to be flawless. If the information about Chaldea he provided is true, then with our strength we can definitely destroy the enemy.
But the problem is that everything we know about Chaldea… is all said by him alone, without any confirmation. We have no other channels and can only trust the information he provides unilaterally.”
Odysseus was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.
It should be noted that although the Servants bring some knowledge with them when they are summoned, most of it is common sense of the time and the local language, and there is basically no information related to the mysterious organization “Chaldea”.
Whether it was the alien god, the fantasy tree, or the affairs of Chaldea…it was basically Kirshtalia’s one-sided statement, so of course we couldn’t rule out the possibility that he was lying.
“But what good will that do him?” Odysseus fell into deep thought. “He has signed an alliance with our great god and is here to cultivate the fantasy tree. Our interests are the same as his. He has no reason to harm us.”
“Indeed.”
Chiron thought about it and seemed to feel that he was being too suspicious, so he couldn’t help but smile.
“If he really has some bad intentions, there is no need to worry. Since he lives in Olympus, no matter how powerful he is, he cannot match our great god Zeus when he is serious.”
Odysseus nodded in agreement and immediately returned to his work, beginning to dispatch personnel and supplies to expand the size of his fleet.
After all, they have Olympus as their ultimate trump card, and the power of Zeus and the gods is not as simple as it seems.
If Kirshtalia thought that he could hold his own against the great god for a short period of time and thus had the capital to plot in front of him, he was really naive.
“He is a smart man and knows who to cooperate with.” Chiron glanced at Odysseus and turned to look at the sea.
“What remains is how to defeat the Servants of Pan-Human History… Although it hurts, I must kill you. Only in this way can I protect my home, my dear “disciples”!”
Chapter 1088: The Beginning of the Great Sea Battle
“Captain Drake and Captain Blackbeard, lead your fleet, together with the pirate twins, and work hard to contain the main body of Odysseus’ fleet. We don’t ask for much damage, but just delay as much time as possible.”
In the captain’s cabin of the Argo, many Servants were listening to Jason’s battle plan.
Blackbeard and Drake received the task and took it on with confidence. Although there was a big gap in strength between them and Odysseus, they were surprisingly not afraid.
Because naval battles are different from land battles, sometimes what is important is not firepower, but speed and formation, especially when there is a lack of ultra-long-range attack means.
The technological content of Odysseus’ fleet is not low, but the growth direction of the technology tree is very different from that of pan-human history. Even though it has strong firepower, it does not have weapons like missiles and carrier-based aircraft that can destroy the enemy beyond visual range.
This meant that they could only rely on medium- and long-range artillery fire and close-range boarding battles to decide victory or defeat.
——Even if this ship is powered by magic, even if their soldiers are worth a hundred, even if they can summon alien monsters, it cannot change the fact that their way of fighting is very traditional (backward).
Of course, Drake is as “traditional” as Blackbeard, but as pirates they are very good at using disgusting means in this traditional warfare method, and are particularly good at “fighting a messy battle”.
This is what is called “bringing the enemy to the same level as yourself, and then defeating him with your rich experience.”
In their lifetime, they had used their skills to trick fleets far more powerful than theirs countless times.
It might be difficult to defeat Odysseus, after all, this hero has a lot of command value and naval combat experience, but it is not difficult for the two big pirates to entangle him.
“This is about the naval battle. For the high-end combat forces that may appear in the enemy fleet, I hope Achilles and Hector can cooperate to target and snipe… or resist them.”
Jason then looked at the others. “As for the majority of the remaining forces, including myself and the Argo, everyone has only one goal, which is to survive the attack of Poseidon and serve as a shield to cover Hercules’ advance!”
Everyone was shocked, but they were quickly relieved.
“Even if we sacrifice all of us, as long as we can get Hercules to the Tree of Imagination, the final victory will be ours!”
Jason finally said to Hercules: “My dear friend, perhaps it is a bit too much for me to entrust this heavy responsibility to you alone, but I don’t know who else can do it except you. Because… you are the person I trust most in this world, even more trustworthy than myself!”
“Uh…” The man wearing the lion skin was silent for a moment, nodded slightly towards everyone’s gaze, his eyes showing a firm look.
“I will do everything I can.”
Among all the servants in pan-human history, he is the only one who possesses extraordinary god-level combat capabilities, and he is also the only one who possesses a Noble Phantasm that is more powerful than a castle. It is only natural that he should be the one to cut down the Fantasy Tree.
“Really… Then I feel relieved.” Jason smiled faintly, and his mood relaxed incredibly.
Before this, facing an enemy that was obviously stronger than him, he was nervous and worried. He did not have much confidence in his abilities and was afraid that he would not be able to take on the responsibility of leading everyone to victory.
The reason why he could keep smiling along the way and chat and laugh with every servant was simply that as a leader he could not show his weak side, and he also needed to maintain the atmosphere of the team.
Otherwise, this group of guys with all kinds of grudges and hatreds would definitely not be able to come together to overcome difficulties.
But now the battle plan has been drawn up, as Caesar once said –
The dice have been rolled, and fate will decide next!
“Okay, let’s go!”
Jason and his crew hoisted the sails of the Argo.
“Towards our final battlefield!”
The sea breeze blows across the blue sea, the rising and falling waves cover each other, and from time to time the figures of sea beasts vaguely emerge in them.
However, during this journey, there was no more attacks by sea beasts like before. This legendary sailing ship carrying many heroes seemed to have been reborn. Both its speed and the solidity of its hull were greatly improved. Although it was still not very large in size, it suppressed the waves like a giant.
No matter how strong the winds were or how turbulent the waves were, they could not shake it and its owner. The monsters lurking in the deep sea also gave up their attention to the ship out of instinctive fear.
Because the ship is called “Argo”, it itself symbolizes one of the greatest adventures of Greece, is a witness to an epic, and is also a treasure that embodies many hopes and visions.
It has a similar effect to Mashu’s round shield in summoning heroes, and the more heroes on board this ship, the higher the level of the ship’s treasure.
In its current state, its level has surpassed the original.
After the Argo had sailed for about two and a half days, the servants of pan-human history, under the guidance of Drake, finally saw a huge shadow slowly emerging between the sea and the sky in the distance.
It is the Tower of Babel connecting the sky and the sea. It seems like the bark made by cutting out the starry sky. The pure white patterns bound the starry sky. The whole thing looks like an abstract bouquet. No one knows in what form it will eventually bloom.
All we know is that when its huge crown blooms, it will surely spread its presence to every corner of the world!
Such a huge monster, I’m afraid even a city-anti-treasure cannot destroy it?
The servants looked at the Fantasy Tree from afar, tried to imagine the scene of themselves cutting down the Fantasy Tree, and couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
Jason’s decision was correct. Apart from Hercules, no one could deal with this super-sized existence.
In fact, even Hercules felt a little shocked. If he had not descended as a grand spiritual base, but was just a servant… then even he would not be able to shake the Fantasy Tree.
But now he is not only a crown, but also has another powerful force in his body, which can exert a powerful force beyond his life, and the same is true for his Noble Phantasm…
“It’s just me!”
Hercules slowly clenched his fists, and even the quiet Jiang Liu could feel his high morale.
“There is a whirlpool ahead, and we may find the enemy at any time from now on.”
Jason loudly reminded everyone: “Get ready for battle immediately!”
“Enter combat readiness immediately!”
Odysseus also shouted the same thing. No, he didn’t need to actually shout out loud. He could convey the same meaning through pre-agreed signals.
In other words, Jason and Odysseus, the two military commanders of pan-human history and the Lostbelt, simultaneously issued warnings of war.
What happened next was exactly as they expected:
Drake and Blackbeard activated their own treasures. The fleet of warships that had defeated the Spanish Armada and the pirate group that plundered the world all condensed their own shapes in the sky of spiritual light and formed a fleet that was no less powerful than the Atlantis Navy.
What Odysseus brought out was a much more luxurious lineup than before. There were three flagship-level ships alone, and the rest of the ships reached as many as thirty!
This is because he considered the issue of command efficiency, so he did not continue to expand the scale. Otherwise, he would be able to integrate a large fleet of fifty ships!
Judging from the numbers alone, the coalition forces of Drake and Blackbeard were no worse than Atlantis, but both sides knew that in terms of actual combat power, the two big pirates would be crushed by Odysseus…so from the beginning they had no intention of a head-on confrontation.
Interspersing, wandering, pulling, harassing… As if the word “tenderness” was written on the bow of the ship, Drake and Blackbeard carried out the scattered but intensive harassment tactics to the end, even giving up some attack power in pursuit of speed, and finally tied down Odysseus’ fleet.
The Atlantis ship was like a giant stuck in a swamp, unable to escape for a while.
The pressure the two pirates were under was visible to the naked eye. Even though their unexpected tacit understanding caused a lot of trouble for Odysseus, their fleet was still at a disadvantage. Even though they made many brilliant tactical moves, the overall decline could not be reversed.
If the battle continued like this without any unexpected changes, Odysseus would probably have achieved an unprecedented victory at a very small cost.
However, the presence of Jason and others would not allow the battle to go so “smoothly”, and Odysseus and Chiron on the Lostbelt side would not allow the Argo to get any closer.
“Release the beast!”
Roar!Roar!Roar!
Following Odysseus’s order, the three flagship warships opened their sides and retracted their side panels, revealing the dark interior, from which came a terrifying roar that made people shudder.
Hey!
As the most shrill howl sounded, one monster after another rushed out of the boat.
Led by the three-headed dog guarding Hell, there were monsters with human bodies and bull heads, as well as human bodies and eagle bodies. Just like an exhibition of villains in mythology, all kinds of ferocious monsters rushed towards the warships of Pan-Human History.
“There is no other way. We should give up some of the outer ships and focus on protecting our captain.”
Hector, a handsome uncle with a mustache, jumped up from Drake’s flagship with a spear with a tip like a cross sword. In mid-air, he encountered a wolf-like monster that was pouncing on him. He thrust the spear forward, but with almost no strength, the monster was carried away by inertia and pierced through the heart by the spear tip in just a moment!
“go with!”
Hector put away his frivolous expression, took the lead, and after landing on a deck, without even looking around, he immediately started sprinting and jumping again in the direction where the enemy appeared.
Troy’s strongest generals and warriors returned to the battlefield at this moment!
Chapter 1089: Poseidon’s Arrival
“The enemy has begun to move.”
While commanding his own fleet, Odysseus observed Jason’s Argo.
In fact, compared to the huge pirate fleet, the commander was more concerned about the old-fashioned sailing ship that did not look very advanced. Although it did not have any means of attack, the heroes it carried were deadly weapons that were more powerful than any cannon.
So, when Hector appeared on the battlefield, Odysseus immediately realized that Jason had thrown a new card, so he responded.
“It’s time to start, Chiron!”
Zheng!
A flash of light fell from the sky, like a falling star arrow that instantly crossed the distance between heaven and earth and pierced Hector’s heart!
The great hero who was known as the “Iron Wall” in the Trojan War was unable to even dodge at this moment and was hit like a powerless child.
“Hmm, have you been tricked?!”
Hector fell to the deck and was immediately surrounded by the Atlantean soldiers.
It all happened so quickly that Cassandra on the Argo finally reacted when Hector was overwhelmed by the soldiers, and she immediately let out a painful cry.
“Brother!”
Jason, who also witnessed all of this, had no extra expression on his face. He calmly searched the Atlantis fleet and finally locked his target on a figure mixed in with the warriors.
“Shh!”
Chiron lifted his cloak, revealing his true face. He stared back without any intention of avoiding, obviously realizing that he had been exposed.
But it doesn’t matter. His Noble Phantasm is of the unexpected type, and the first attack is the most threatening. Since the combat goal has been achieved, it doesn’t matter.
“Chiron… is the “teacher”. “
Looking at the figure that was very similar to the one in his memory, Jason’s pupils shrank and his heart skipped a beat.
“As a Sagittarius, he’s sure to hit the target.”
There was no time to reminisce about the past, nor was there any time to sigh and hesitate. Jason cut off his unnecessary thoughts and continued to devote his energy to the war at hand, allowing his servants to begin the next move.
Chiron was somewhat surprised to find that the Argo did not engage in a battle with Odysseus’ fleet, but instead sailed along the edge of the battlefield, as if trying to bypass it.
“Is the target the Maelstrom?” Chiron narrowed his eyes and pulled the longbow in his hand.
