Artemis was resolute.
However, for Tomyris, this made her completely at a loss.
This is not an ordinary thing, but a sacred artifact belonging to Artemis.
The Silver Bow of the Bright Moon is as famous as Apollo's Golden Bow.
But now Artemis wanted to give this thing to Tomyris.
This was a little hard for Tomyris to accept.
While Tomyris was at a loss, Artemis continued:
"Tomyris."
"exist."
"I am very pleased that you were able to complete the task I asked you to do. Obviously, this matter was very unfair to you, but you still did it and completed it very well." Artemis reached out and gently stroked Tomyris's head. "From now on, your life will be decided by you. Now, after Apollo's death, the gods in the realm of gods are in a state of panic. The great changes in this world will soon come. When the time comes, I will not be able to stay out of it."
"Master Artemis!"
Tomyris was a little frightened.
"You, what do you mean?"
"nothing."
Artemis smiled and shook her head.
Then, she looked at Hilde and warned her earnestly, "Your enemy is definitely not just Apollo. The one who covets the Creation Original Library is the most terrifying existence in the world. So, Hilde, you will probably have to face an extremely terrifying enemy in the future. By that time, I'm afraid no one will be able to help you. You must make yourself able to defeat him before he shows up."
"he……"
That’s it for now.
Hilde understood it all.
The one Artemis was referring to was, of course, the leader of the Greek gods.
The main god Zeus.
Artemis saw her father as the ultimate enemy.
This may also mean that Artemis had actually seen through Zeus' ambitions a long time ago, and that she was more willing to trust her half-sister Athena than Zeus.
"Don't worry, I'll be ready."
"Well, I leave it to you."
Artemis smiled.
"I have to go back, otherwise, it will easily arouse other people's vigilance."
"Be careful."
Artemis provided so much help to Hilde and others.
Therefore, she will definitely be dragged into this.
But Hilde couldn't help Artemis now. All she could do was to follow Artemis' instructions and improve her own strength in order to face the more terrifying enemies that would come next.
"Tomyris."
"Master Artemis..."
"You are an oracle that I am proud of. Next, walk your own path."
Artemis turned around.
A gust of night wind blew by, and Artemis disappeared.
Tomyris hugged the silver bow and couldn't help crying.
"Is nothing going to happen?"
Sophia asked with some concern:
"I always feel like there's something else behind what Lady Artemis said."
"It's like... explaining my final wishes."
Xerxes directly pointed out the areas that everyone was concerned about.
Isn't that the problem?
Artemis' words just now really sounded like something bad was going to happen. She left her precious weapon to Tomyris, told Tomyris to go her own way, and asked Hilde to be prepared. Such words really made people very worried.
what should we do?
In the end what happened?
Such problems bother everyone.
But, Artemis is a goddess who has lived for thousands of years after all.
The wisdom of God may not be something that Hilde and others can guess.
"Tomyris."
Hilde patted Tomyris on the shoulder.
"Don't be sad. Lady Artemis is the goddess of hunting. Even if something happens, she will be able to get out of this unscathed. Don't worry."
"Ok, I know."
Tomyris wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I will do as Artemis asks."
"That's good."
Since Tomyris can cheer up, that's better than anything else.
However, Tomyris seemed to have made up her mind.
She turned around and raised her head to look at Hilde in front of her.
"Xixi, there is something I must explain to you."
"what?"
"About what happened next."
Tomyris took a deep breath.
"I, Tomyris, am the princess of the Kingdom of Scythia. I have helped you defeat Apollo and resolve the current crisis as requested by Lady Artemis. So, I am going back to the Kingdom of Scythia and lead the Scythians to continue to resist the invasion of the Byzantine Kingdom." Tomyris tightly grasped the longbow in her hand and stood in front of the few people. "So, Sissi, when I return, we will be enemies."
"Yeah, okay."
Hilde agreed readily.
Hilde was not surprised by this result.
"I will defeat you myself."
"Well, I will definitely defeat you too!"
Tomyris and Hilde stretched out their hands and clasped them tightly.
In fact, Tomyris knew very well that it was impossible to defeat Hilde now. With the Medusa Shield and Hilde's Spear, she was almost the strongest oracle that no one could stop. In this case, even if Tomyris had the Bright Moon Silver Bow, she would probably be defeated quickly in a short time when fighting Hilde, without any ability to fight back.
The Decision of Tomyris
But even so.
Tomyris must also face her enemy.
She had to face Hilde's horror.
Not because of anything else.
Just because Tomyris is the princess of the Kingdom of Scythia and the protector of the Scythians.
This is her most important identity.
After completing Artemis' mission, Tomyris can be herself again. She no longer needs to consider herself as the Oracle of Artemis, but can truly live as Tomyris of Scythia.
Even within this period of time.
Tomyris and Hilde fought side by side.
A deep friendship has been established.
Tomyris also understood that Hilde was the wisest ruler she had ever seen.
She also had to choose to resist.
Because the Scythians hated surrender.
Tomyris was very clear in her heart that if Hilde ruled the Kingdom of Scythia, the lives of the Scythian people would be greatly improved. Hilde had never been a monarch who wanted to destroy the enemy's country and race. Her goal was to bring peace to the world and allow different people from all regions to gather under the Byzantine banner and live a happy life.
The Thracians could, the Greeks could.
So could those slaves from all over the world.
Of course, the Scythians could too.
However, even though she knew she would lose, and even though she knew Hilde's rule would bring happiness to everyone, Tomyris had to raise her weapon and fight a great battle with Hilde. Only in this way would she feel at ease, and all the Scythians would see how powerful this monarch named Hilde was.
The Scythians who worship the strong.
He will definitely submit to Hilde.
"Let's go back to Byzantium first, and then you can go north to the Kingdom of Scythia. I will give you a month, and after a month, I will lead the army to attack the Kingdom of Scythia directly."
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the grasslands of Scythia."
Tomyris bowed deeply.
"If I fail, please take good care of the people of Scythia."
"Of course, they will become part of the Byzantine Empire."
This scene made everyone else dumbfounded.
Is this a declaration of war?
Why are you so polite?
Tomyris and Hilde actually knew what the ending would be a long time ago, and they both had a clear idea of it.
The next thing was naturally that Hilde defeated Tomyris and then led his army to occupy the Kingdom of Scythia. After Tomyris was defeated, the only strong man of the Scythians also failed. Then, the arrogant Scythians should put down their arrogance when faced with this fact.
Just choose to be conquered.
So, after it was decided.
Hilde and others immediately set out on their journey back.
And Hilde kept her word. She really took a detour with the others and went to the Temple of Delphi in the south.
Here, the prophet of Delphi still worshipped the temple of Apollo devoutly. When they fell asleep at night, Hilde moved them all out of the temple, and then directly demolished this magnificent temple of Apollo with her own Spear of Hilde.
Only then did Hilde realize the power of this weapon.
The divine power in Hilde's body comes from the power of the sky from the original book of creation.
And this spear naturally also has this attribute.
Hilde only needed to input a small amount of divine power to be driven by the spear into violent lightning. The purple light directly tore through the sky of Delphi that night. Then, the earth-shaking explosion directly destroyed the Temple of Apollo, which took nearly a hundred years to complete.
The huge explosion directly woke up the people of Delphi.
People rushed to the streets.
But they discovered the Temple of Apollo high up in the city.
It was actually bombed.
People had never seen such a scene before, and everyone knelt on the ground.
To pray for the gods to appease their anger.
After all, in the eyes of ordinary people, such thunder and lightning are just punishment from the gods.
Hilde happily put away his weapons and set out on the journey back to Byzantium.
