Although they did capture Araeus.
But without any population, Eraeus lost all its value, and the tragic scene in the city gave these Spartan soldiers a great psychological shock. However, Cleopatra said nothing about this. She just stayed outside the city leisurely, as if waiting for something. In Cleopatra's mind, she had completed the task assigned by the King of Sparta, and then she would return to Sparta.
Everything was as it should be.
However, a scout on horseback quickly arrived at the city of Eratosthenes.
"Report——!"
The scout came in front of Cleopatra and the Spartan commander, dismounted, and quickly reported: "Cestus was besieged by the Byzantines and has now fallen! The Byzantine Kingdom has sent nearly 20,000 troops, and the entire northern part of the Gallipoli Peninsula has been controlled by the Byzantine Kingdom!!!"
"Byzantine Empire?"
The commander was also stunned.
"We have no grudges against them, why would they attack us at this time?"
"Now is not the time to think about this. Didn't you hear it just now? The Byzantine Kingdom has sent out 20,000 troops. The troops you have are not enough for the Byzantine Kingdom." Cleopatra patted the commander on the back and said with a smile, "I thought I would be going back soon, but I didn't expect this to happen... This is also my job. Let's prepare for the battle."
"My Lord Oracle, are you going to..."
"It's still the old plan. I will assassinate the officers of the Byzantine Kingdom first. After killing their leaders, I will summon these ancient warriors like today and destroy them all. Only when they feel the pain will they give up their greed for this place. Otherwise, if I leave and they come back again, what will you do?"
Although the commander didn't like Cleopatra very much, there was nothing wrong with him doing this. So the Spartan commander bowed his head and said to her: "Then I'll leave it to you! I wish you success!"
"Really? Wait here for my good news."
Cleopatra licked her lips, tapped the ground with the fork in her hand, and then turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared into the air. When the commander saw this scene, he could only shake his head helplessly.
It will be another massacre.
The sixth tune and the eighth section turned out to be a bait
Lord Hades, are you so interested in the souls of mortals?
Although the commander was very helpless, for the sake of the country and the interests of Sparta, the invaders of the Byzantine Kingdom must pay the price they deserve. And these prices must be paid to Cleopatra, so that these ignorant Byzantines will know how powerful the Spartans are.
Cleopatra's entire body dissipated into the air. She had the ability to transform her body into an indescribable black mist, and then freely shuttle through the earth. Of course, the speed was not very fast, but it was similar to a bird, floating in the air, looking down from above, at the current situation.
Since Sestus had fallen, it meant that the enemy's commander should be in Sestus, or on the way from Sestus to Elaeus, so Cleopatra floated in the air and moved quickly towards Sestus. As long as she could quickly approach the enemy's commander and kill all the enemy's command level with one fatal move, the enemy's army would be leaderless.
Soon, it was night.
Hildes army stopped at a place 4-5 hours away from Araeus. As it was already night, Hildes did not plan to go to Araeus so soon. She planned to wait for Amyntas' main force here. So Hildes ordered the troops to set up camp here and rest for a night.
At the same time, Hilde also sent scouts to Eraeus to find out the situation. Although she knew that Sparta had the help of the oracle and it was easy to capture Eraeus, she had to make sure that Eraeus was really captured before she could annex the city with peace of mind. Otherwise, after her army went there, Eraeus was still in the hands of the Athenians, which would be embarrassing.
So we have to wait a little longer.
Wait until everything is confirmed.
It’s not too late to start again.
So at night, one fire after another was burning in Hilde's temporary military camp. It was already autumn, so the temperature dropped quickly. In addition, it was close to the sea and it was a long and narrow peninsula area, so the soldiers felt a little cold, so they all sat around the fire to keep warm.
And Hilde was sitting in his own royal tent.
"We are obviously on a war expedition, but it's so relaxing."
Xerxes lay on the blanket, stretching lazily, like a sexy and charming cat, his wheat-colored skin and sexy and enchanting body were perfectly presented in this posture. Hilde simply glanced at him and said, "You can't be in a hurry about this kind of thing. If I go there now and find that Eraeus is still controlled by the Athenians, I can't say that I will help the Spartans take down the city first and then drive the Spartans away?"
In fact, Hilde could also fly over and take a look himself.
But she did not tell Xerxes about her situation.
For example, she could suck blood, fly, and actually had horns on her head. Hilde didn't tell Xerxes about these things, mainly because she felt there was no need to tell him. If she told him, she was always worried that Xerxes would think of some messed up things, such as some new ways to play. Especially the matter of sucking blood, Xerxes would definitely ask her to suck blood, but Hilde didn't dare to suck the blood of a demigod.
Who knows what will happen if you suck it down.
and……
Hilde always had a hunch.
She felt that after Cleopatra made the news, she would definitely not wait for Hilde and the others to come. Otherwise, those warships would not have been attacked directly by Cleopatra on the sea. It is possible that after Cleopatra discovered Hilde's army, she directly summoned the undead army to rush towards her.
"I wish I could help you, Sissi."
Sophia sat aside, somewhat depressed.
"So, when the time comes, do you want to fight this person called Cleopatra?"
"You'd better not act rashly. You are indeed very strong, but the opponent may be a more mature oracle than you. Not only does he understand his own abilities, but he can also use them flexibly. So at least wait until you can also flexibly master your abilities before you can consider doing this."
Hilde's statement.
This dampened Sophia's enthusiasm to show off her skills.
But this is indeed quite dangerous. Hilde really doesn't want Sophia to encounter anything dangerous, so since Sophia has such an idea, Hilde still put it out.
However, this kind of protection cannot last a lifetime. For Hilde himself, since Sophia has become an oracle, it means that she will definitely give him some help in the future. If he really doesn't let her use her abilities, it would be too much. So it will not be too late to consider this issue after Sophia knows her abilities and knows which god's oracle she is.
But at this time.
Xerxes, lying on the ground, raised his eyes.
"We have guests coming."
"Hmm..." Hilde nodded, indicating that he also felt it, "Let's discuss how to attack Araeus next."
Hilde could feel a very strange and disgusting aura approaching her, so Hilde pretended to know nothing and waited to see what this guy was going to do. She walked to the front of the map, pretending to know nothing, and discussed the next attack with Xerxes.
Sophia looked confused.
What are these two guys talking about?
But since the two of them suddenly started discussing business, Sophia listened obediently. Soon, a faint mist that was almost invisible to the naked eye floated in from the entrance of the tent. Since there were only two torches lit in the king's tent, the dim light made it impossible for people to see the faint black mist.
Hilde and Xerxes immediately noticed the existence of this thing, but they both pretended not to see anything. At this time, Xerxes stood up and smiled at Hilde and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late. Let me take you to bed."
This guy!
Isn't it obvious that they are using me as bait?
When Xerxes said this, the black mist's interest was immediately drawn to Hilde.
Chapter 9: The Assassin in Tough Fight
The one who sneaked in was Cleopatra.
She had already focused her attention on Hilde.
After all, judging from their appearance alone, Xerxes with his wheat-colored skin looked more like a female slave serving Her Majesty the Queen, while Sophia was covered in a cloak, and it was hard to tell what she looked like. Moreover, since Cleopatra was born in Sparta, she had never known what purple was since she was a child. So when she saw the purple cloak on Sophia, she didn't think it was a good thing, but just felt it was a bit novel.
Since this guy is the queen...
Cleopatra suddenly felt a little nervous.
If she was killed, wouldn't the entire Byzantine Empire be leaderless?
This is really a big prey.
Thinking of this, Cleopatra didn't even feel the strange feeling coming from Hilde. She held the fork tightly in her hand. After all, no one could see her now. And just like that, Cleopatra slowly walked in front of Hilde and pointed the fork in her hand at Hilde.
go to hell! !
Cleopatra stabbed Hilde hard.
As a result, the double-pronged fork was suddenly caught by Hilde.
"I didn't expect you to come here by yourself."
Hilde suddenly looked up.
Cleopatra tried to pull back the fork that Hilde had grabbed, but she found that Hilde was very strong. In a panic, Cleopatra even exposed her true form. At this time, Sophia was surprised to see the stranger who suddenly appeared in front of Hilde, holding a fork in his hand.
"Who are you?!"
"Calm down... This guy is the oracle of Hades from Sparta, known as Cleopatra."
"Yeah, I didn't expect you to be so fearless of death."
Xerxes also stood up while saying this. She looked at the guy in front of her with a faint smile on her face: "But I think this guy's strength should not be very strong, because she didn't even feel that there were three oracles in this room."
Although Cleopatra was trying hard, the fork held by Hilde did not move at all. In this situation, Cleopatra realized that she might have hit a steel plate. Then when she heard Xerxes say that there were three oracles in the room, Cleopatra panicked.
"you!"
“It’s a pity.”
Hilde held the double-pronged fork in his right hand, and purple electric sparks on his left hand kept jumping.
"Since you've come to our door, we can't let you go."
"hateful!!!"
With a sudden explosion in the tent, a black shadow flew out of the tent, and then Hilde, surrounded by purple lightning, rushed out with Xerxes. Cleopatra had never thought that she would encounter such a thing. When she turned around, she could see Hilde, who was like a god, and Xerxes, who was like a firebird.
"I didn't expect that we could fight side by side like this."
The blazing flames lingered around Xerxes' body. Even though they were several meters away, Hilde could feel the scorching heat coming from Xerxes' body. Hilde smiled and said, "Yes, so this guy is treated really well."
A Cleopatra.
At the same time, the Queen of the Byzantine Empire and the Empress of the Persian Empire were blown out.
Such treatment is unprecedented.
The soldiers looked at the two lights, one purple and one red, in surprise, and flew out of the king's tent. Cleopatra was desperately running away, but the two lights behind her kept chasing her. She really regretted it now, after all, not everyone could have imagined that the targets of her assassination would be the three oracles!
Sparta had three oracles.
There were also three Byzantine empires! ?
Cleopatra felt that she was too arrogant and now she had to escape from this place first. Otherwise, if she died here, there would be no need to say anything.
Cleopatra tried to escape by turning into a ball of black mist, but the sudden purple lightning always hit the direction she wanted to escape. At the same time, a blazing flame that seemed to be able to burn everything in the world surged from behind her. There was lightning in front of her and flames behind her. This feeling of being attacked from both sides left Cleopatra with almost no way to go.
And at this time.
Cleopatra had an idea.
She immediately turned around and threw the double-pronged fork in her hand directly in Hilde's direction. The sudden counterattack really caught Hilde off guard. The lightning that was supposed to hit the other side hit the double-pronged fork directly. It was in this last bit of space that Cleopatra instantly turned into black mist that was invisible to the naked eye, and then disappeared in front of the two. The double-pronged fork that was hit by the lightning also disappeared directly, and it seemed to have gone with Cleopatra.
“This guy actually ran away.”
Hilde looked at Xerxes with a wry smile.
"Sorry, it's my fault."
"It's okay, don't worry about this kind of thing!"
"But this guy can't escape. He must be running towards Eraeus now. So, if we just chase him, we will definitely catch him." Hilde thought for a moment, then said to Xerxes, "This guy is indeed not very strong. We can also feel it from the battle just now. So can you stay in the barracks and protect the soldiers and Sophia? I will go to Eraeus first by myself."
"Okay, you also need to be careful and come back immediately if there is any trouble."
Xerxes nodded.
After getting Xerxes' guarantee.
Hilde then ran without stopping towards the city of Eraeus.
Xerxes was not there at the time, so Hilde simply spread her wings and flew quickly in the air.
Hilde's original worries have been dispelled. After all, judging from her performance just now, Cleopatra might not be real, but just an auxiliary oracle. Apart from summoning the undead army, she seems to have no other use. Anyway, based on her performance just now, Hilde doesn't think this guy will cause him much trouble.
Hilde had no way to comment. Cleopatra's ability to summon the army of the dead was truly powerful, enough to turn the tide of the battlefield. However... any oracle could actually turn the battlefield around, so this ability seemed somewhat useless.
Chapter 6, Section 10: The Fear of Absolute Advantage
Because Cleopatra actually does not have the ability to directly fight against other oracles. Judging from her attack and fighting ability just now, Cleopatra's level is probably a level lower than Rhodes. However, the ability to become invisible, plus this convenient escape skill, does make Cleopatra more capable of surviving other oracles on the battlefield.
and……
Hilde imagined it herself.
If the two armies are now in the process of fighting, the oracle on their side is chasing Cleopatra, but it would be very difficult to catch and kill her. As long as Cleopatra is not dead, the undead army she summoned is likely to be endless and exist forever, and finally drag down their own army to annihilation. If you think about it this way, Cleopatra's level and strength are indeed somewhat terrifying.
Of course, all of this is based on the fact that the undead army she summoned can be resurrected unlimitedly, even if they are knocked to the ground or even shattered. On this point, Hilde does not have enough evidence to prove it, but as time goes on, we should know whether Cleopatra has such ability.
Hilde sought that feeling.
Flying in the air for a long time.
