Chapter 301 Ares, the Guardian of Elis

Just like before the Kingdom of Mycenae dominated the Peloponnese Peninsula, the vast Argos region should actually be divided into the Argos region in the south and the Corinth region in the north.

Before Pelops ruled the Kingdom of Inlis, the vast Inlis region should actually be divided into the Ahayin region in the north and the Inlis region in the south.

Although the Ahayin area covers an area of ​​3,300 square kilometers, most of this area is mountainous, with only a small portion of plains in the northwest coastal area.

Although the Yinlis area only covers an area of ​​2,700 square kilometers, most of this area is plain and hilly.

The image of Ares, the god of war, riding a chariot may have evolved from the warriors of Yinlis driving chariots on the plains of Yinlis.

King Oenomanos, who currently rules the Yinlis region, and King Tereos, who rules the Ahayin region, both have the identity of the sons of Ares, the god of war, symbolizing that Ares, the god of war, is the king of Yinlis and the region. The patron saint of the Ahayin region.

But in the mountains of the Ahayin region, the mountain people worship not Ares, who is worshiped by the people in the plains, but the nature goddess Axioce.

In the myth of Pelops, Pelops married Hippodamia when he was young and succeeded to the throne of Inlis and became king.

In middle age, Pelops forced the nature goddess Axioce to bear Chrysippus with him.

The prototype of this myth in reality may be the conquest of the Inlis region and the Ahayin region by Pelops' Kingdom of Inlis. The mountain people in the Ahayin region - people who worship the nature goddess Axioce also Become a subject of Pelops.

Now Pelops is leading the Acadians to invade the plain of Inlis ruled by Oenomanos.

But Oenomanos was a powerful king, and Oenomanos' patron god Ares was also a powerful god.

In the war between Pelops and Oenomanus, Pelops could be said to have been defeated repeatedly.

Because Oenomanus was an old middle-aged man, he did not pursue Pelops who fled and killed Pelops completely.

Pelops really saw no hope of defeating Oenomanos, so he went to the city of Mycenae to ask Perseus for help.

After Perseus agreed to the request, he sent an army of two thousand men to help Pelops.

Inlis Plains.

Pelops led his soldiers and once again appeared outside the city of Inlis.

After Oenomanus, king of Ilys, led his soldiers out of the city to fight, Pelops ordered his soldiers to shoot a hail of arrows, and then fled directly to the mountains with the soldiers.

In order to teach the invaders a painful lesson, Oenomanus personally drove a chariot and led the Yinlian soldiers to hunt down Pelops and his army.

After the two armies entered the mountain forest one after another, an army of two thousand people suddenly appeared on the Yinlis Plain and attacked the under-manned Yinlis City.

This sudden army was Pelops' reinforcements.

Oenomanus had been at war with Pelops for several months, and he knew exactly the number of Pelops' soldiers.

Now the number of Pelops' soldiers suddenly increased by two thousand, which was completely beyond the imagination of Oenomanus.

After all, 3,500 years ago, many large city-states or tribes in Greece did not have two thousand young and strong men in total, let alone two thousand trained soldiers.

Seeing the sudden appearance of two thousand soldiers besieging the under-strength city of Yinlis, Oenomanos hurriedly led his soldiers back to the city of Yinlis.

Pelops, who originally led his soldiers to escape, immediately turned around and led his soldiers to pursue Oenomanos.

When Oenomanus arrived at the city of Inlis with 2,500 soldiers, the 2,000 Mycenaean soldiers who were attacking the city immediately joined the 1,000 soldiers led by Pelops to attack Oenomanos in front and back. Sri Lanka.

on the vast plains.

Pelops relied on his superior force to flank Oenomanus' army.

Although Yinlis soldiers fought desperately under the leadership of Oenomanos, they still could not let the balance of victory tilt in their favor.

"Pelops, you pathetic coward."

Oenomanus said angrily as he approached Pelops on the battlefield.

"You actually use this kind of trick. You are not worthy of being a warrior at all. If you are still a man, then you will fight me openly."

Pelops came to Oenomanos without fear, waved his spear and said.

"Oenomanos, do you really think that I can't defeat an old man like you? In the past, I would lose to you because I only had the great god Poseidon to help me. But now, the great Zeus With Poseidon coming to my side, there is no reason for me to lose to the old you."

After saying this, Pelops swung his spear and stabbed Oenomanus in the neck.

While humans are fighting with humans——

Zeus and Poseidon descended on the battlefield as gods a hundred meters tall, and Ares, the god of war, also appeared above Yinlis City.

"Intruder, are you humiliating yourself again?"

Ares, full of pride, looked at Poseidon with contempt and said.

"You have lost to me again and again and allowed me to increase my winning record. I can't help but want to thank you."

"Stupid native god, can't you see the situation before you?"

Zeus mocked expressionlessly after hearing Ares humiliating Poseidon.

"Poseidon lost to you before only because we didn't show our true strength to deal with you. Now we treat you as a real enemy. A stupid and arrogant native god like you will be vulnerable in front of us."

After saying that, Zeus released a thunderbolt to hit Ares' body, and Poseidon's divine power also turned into a water dragon and pounced on Ares.

Although Ares was proud and complacent, he would not really despise Zeus and Poseidon.

Facing the attacks of Zeus and Poseidon, Ares waved his spear to block Zeus' thunderbolt and raised his shield to block Poseidon's water dragon.

The next moment!

Zeus' thunderbolt hit Ares' body, paralyzing Ares' body for a short time.

Poseidon's water dragon hit Ares' body, causing Ares' paralyzed body to fall to the ground.

"You——"

After standing up from the ground in a mess, Ares asked with wide eyes in disbelief.

"How can your power be so strong?"

"Don't you understand?"

Poseidon sneered.

"In the past, I didn't use my true strength to fight you, so you were able to defeat me. Even if Zeus and I were split into two, I still have power that is not inferior to yours. Now that Zeus and I have joined forces, you are naturally vulnerable in front of us."

"We don't need to explain more to this indigenous god."

Zeus followed.

"After all, after we conquer this area, you will replace him as the new patron saint of this area. As a loser, he can only wander on the earth to find a new territory, or accept the arrangement of fate to become a god of faith."

"You want to take away my territory and drive me off the throne of the patron saint of Yinlis?"

Ares said angrily while waving his spear angrily to attack Zeus and Poseidon.

"I will never let you succeed!"
