"careful!"
Artemis protected Tomyris. The fierce wind wave made Artemis feel a little scared.
This was a violent reaction caused by two incompatible divine powers. It was the first time that Artemis had seen such a situation. Suddenly, a red light rang in the sky, and a strong gale spread from the sky to the ground, blowing the grass and trees on the ground to the point of collapse. The soldiers standing on the ground could only stand firmly to avoid being blown away.
Artemis was inwardly shocked.
Even if he and Ares fought with all their strength.
It is impossible to have such an effect.
Has Hilde's combat power improved to this extent now?
When the explosion dissipated.
Ares was surprised to find that Hilde's shield was completely intact.
Although it was a divine weapon from Athena, it also required a strong enough divine power to drive it. But now, Hilde was able to exert the same power as Athena did back then...
"Tsk, he is indeed much stronger than Apollo."
Hilde gently lowered the shield.
"But it seems that I have grown up."
"you……"
"Are you envious of the power of the Genesis Original Library?"
Hilde smiled and then looked at the soldiers around her.
There is no doubt that if a war breaks out between Hilde and Ares here, then these soldiers, whether Spartans or Scythians, will be affected. Hilde pointed to the east and said, "Isn't your goal to get rid of me without anyone knowing and take my original book of creation alone? Okay, I'll give you this opportunity. Now, let's find a place where no one is around."
"you……"
This feeling of being looked down upon.
This made Ares very angry.
But at this time, Hilde still flew straight into the sky, and then turned into purple lightning, moving quickly towards the east.
Ares was so angry that he chased after him.
The two god-level warriors suddenly disappeared from the battlefield. Both the Spartan soldiers and the Scythians were now somewhat bewildered. However, at this moment, Tomyris raised the dagger in her hand and shouted loudly: "All Scythian warriors! His Majesty Hilde is protecting us! Lady Artemis is also protecting us! Pick up your weapons and let us defeat these Spartans!"
"Everyone listen up!!!"
The Scythian soldiers immediately prepared themselves.
Tomyris held a dagger and rushed directly towards Callisto.
"kill--!"
"Go ahead——!!!"
Accompanied by deafening shouts.
Tens of thousands of Scythian soldiers charged directly at the Spartan phalanx.
The strategy of attacking the Greeks directly would almost certainly lead to death. However, the battle between Ares and Hilde just now directly broke the Spartan phalanx. At the same time, during the Scythian Kingdom period, Tomyris specially trained how to break the phalanx in order to deal with the Byzantine phalanx. Therefore, when the Scythian soldiers rushed towards the Spartans, their confidence and murderous look made the Spartans feel terrified.
"Be careful……"
Callisto also noticed something was wrong.
But at this time, Tomyris had already arrived in front of her.
The first confrontation of the second quarter of the third tune begins
Although Callisto was able to use the greatsword in her hand very skillfully.
But in front of a fighter like Tomyris who relies mainly on agility.
This kind of dexterity makes almost no sense.
Tomyris kicked Carlisto's sword hard, and then the short knife in his hand slashed towards Carlisto's neck. A chill came over her, and Carlisto leaned back almost instinctively, thus avoiding Tomyris' attack.
"I am coming!"
Agno has almost recovered.
He then ran straight towards him with a spear in hand.
The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, directly sandwiched Tomylis in the middle.
But just as Agno was about to stab Tomyris with his spear.
Three silver arrows fell from the sky and landed directly in front of Agenor, forcing him to look up. At this time, he saw Artemis standing not far from him, looking at Agenor coldly.
"Your opponent is me."
"Damn..."
Agno's heart skipped a beat.
I'm going to fight against God! ?
But in fact, the current Agenor was strengthened by Ares. If Tomyris really fought Agenor and Callisto, the dinosaurs would be in great danger. Therefore, Artemis would not allow Tomyris to fight these two people. So, Artemis did not give Agenor any chance to breathe. She shot a few arrows to block Agenor's retreat. Then, she rushed straight over, and her long legs like solidified fat rushed directly to Agenor's face and swept it fiercely.
"Master Artemis!"
At this time, Lysander also stood behind Agno.
"Excuse me for being rude!"
"It doesn't matter if there's one more!"
Now, a balanced situation was formed on the battlefield.
Agenor and Lysander faced Artemis, while Callisto and Tomyris faced off one-on-one.
"Now it's fair."
Tomyris threw the dagger in her hand high up, then grasped the handle with a wave of her hand.
"Even though this is the first time we meet, I won't show any mercy."
"I can't ask for it."
Callisto also tightened her grip on the greatsword in her hand.
When the oracles and the gods were fighting fiercely, the Scythian soldiers also bravely took the lead and rushed to the front. In the panic, the Spartans barely maintained their formation, with sharp spears extending from behind their shields, forming an airtight spear phalanx. At the same time, the Scythians did not rush directly at the spearheads, but took out a special weapon.
ax.
This was the tradition of the Byzantine Empire.
The skill of axe throwing is something that all barbarians in the Byzantine Empire must learn.
The Scythians were no exception.
The Scythian soldiers rushed to the front of the formation, only a few dozen meters away, and then took out the throwing axes hanging from their waists and threw them directly at the Spartan phalanx. In an instant, thousands of axes, like rain, hit the Spartan shields with crackling sounds. The impact of the throwing axes was different from the immature javelins and crossbows of this era. The Spartan's thin round shields were directly chiseled open by the axes, and the huge impact caused many soldiers to fall to the ground.
Take advantage of the loopholes in the formation.
The Scythian commandos also began to take action.
The Spartans were trying their best to fill the holes in the phalanx. Their high military quality allowed them to maintain the tightness of their formation even in the face of such an attack. However, in just a dozen seconds, the sword and shield soldiers of Scythia had already rushed to the front of the phalanx, like a sharp knife, fiercely stabbing into the weak point of the phalanx.
This lightly-armored sword and shield soldier was only equipped with limited breastplate and armrests. He held a Thracian hook sword in his right hand and a small round shield in his left hand that was almost incapable of defending against arrows. On horseback, they were generally superb archers, and on land, they were the assaulters of the Scythian soldiers. That kind of small round shield could not block any weapon, but it was this small round shield that could help them block the spears and break into the spear phalanx more flexibly.
When these soldiers got close.
The hook swords in their hands pierced into the Spartans' bodies without mercy.
"Oops!"
When the Spartan centurion saw this scene, he knew that a bloody battle was inevitable.
"Second row, stop these people!!!"
"Yes!"
After the Scythian sword and shield soldiers broke through the phalanx, they were followed by heavy infantry wearing better armor. These people on horseback were Scythian heavy cavalry, and on land, the maces and war hammers in their hands became the best weapons to slaughter heavy infantry. The war hammer, also known as the pointed shovel, is a weapon with a hammer on one end and a bird's beak on the other. The hammer can be used for blunt attacks, while the pointed part can directly chisel off all armor, including iron armor.
The mace, also one of Hilde's inventions, is a small iron hammer with six protruding sharp blades. When facing solid bronze armor, one hammer can basically break the armor and kill people in one go. Because it is more convenient to carry, it has become the weapon of choice for Hilde's melee cavalry.
Scythian heavy cavalry equipped with these two weapons.
They held weapons and carried shields.
With the help of sword and shield soldiers, he broke into the Spartan formation.
The Spartans' spears were of little use to their armor. The great progress in metallurgy technology had enabled the Byzantine cavalry to wear stronger scale armor. The bronze spears that the Spartans were still equipped with were difficult to penetrate directly when stabbing at these cavalrymen, but they simply slid away and brushed aside.
At the same time, the Scythian soldiers.
You can raise the mace in your hand high.
A hammer smashed the simple bronze helmets on their heads.
Once the phalanx, the most threatening of the ancient Greek army, was broken, it turned into a one-sided melee. This was exactly what the Byzantines were good at. After all, the Byzantine soldiers equipped with advanced weapons and high-quality armor were least afraid of this kind of melee. In their eyes, the Greek soldiers wearing bronze half-length fakes were simply meat on the chopping board and could be easily dealt with.
Lysander noticed this, too.
He watched as a gap was opened in his troops.
I was anxious.
However, Artemis had already come to kill him.
The goddess's power is so abundant that it is indeed unimaginable for Lysander. Although Artemis is much weaker than Ares, even so, Lysander and Agenor can only remain on the defensive when they join forces, and they don't know what the final result will be.
The third section of the third tune has two powerful players
"Oops……"
Lysander regretted it.
If the oracles from other allied states also come here.
You won't fall into this passive state.
However, Lysander had to give Artemis 100% of his attention to fight against her... Every attack from the opponent almost made Lysander unable to resist. To avoid being eliminated directly, Lysander and Agenor could only attack alternately, trying to find Artemis's flaws. But even though these two people were as fast as lightning, they were much slower than gods in front of Artemis.
The soldiers had no time to pay attention to the battle between the oracle and the gods.
There was a flash of lightning above my head.
And the soldiers on the battlefield.
Then blood surged to the sky.
After the Scythians broke through the Spartan positions, the two most powerful armies began the most primitive head-on battle.
The Spartans' excellent training was revealed at this time. Even when facing the Scythians, whose weapons and equipment were much worse than theirs, the Spartans still relied on their fighting instincts to flexibly dodge the opponent's attacks and try to find the opponent's flaws, stabbing their spears into the gaps in the opponent's armor.
This is a very correct way of fighting. The imaginary enemies of the Spartans, in addition to the helots, are the Greek heavy infantry who are also equipped with heavy armor, such as the well-equipped Athenian heavy infantry equipped with linen bronze armor. The piercing effect of the bronze spear is limited on armor, so the Spartans have been training how to find the opponent's weaknesses and launch the most deadly attack when fighting in close combat.
And now, they are fighting back in this way.
The Scythian heavy infantry is well armoured.
However, the protection under the armpits, inner knees, and sides of the waist is not so complete.
The Spartans' spears penetrated through the gaps in the armor, and thus eliminated the giant Scythians. However, the indestructible maces and war hammers would then smash directly at them. Once they were hit, it was basically impossible to survive. Faced with such an attack, the Spartans fought and retreated, and ended up in a draw. They suffered heavy losses, but the Scythians also killed many Spartans.
As the Spartans retreated.
Many wounded were left behind.
As the Scythian soldiers advanced, they would give these surviving Spartans a chance to survive.
Give the final blow.
The Spartan officers looked at their own injuries, their heads smashed by maces or hammers, and were filled with grief and indignation, but they could do nothing.
At this time, Hilde was already more than ten kilometers away from the battlefield.
"That's it."
Hilde stopped, then turned around and stabbed Ares who was chasing after him with the spear in his hand.
Ares quickly dodged and fell to the ground from the air.
