If I remember correctly, the Great Prince of the Minosians will, in the future, participate in Athens' Panathenaic Games and win all prizes, only to be envied by the Athenian youths. Subsequently, on his way to Thebes, he will be ambushed and killed by the Athenians.
Thus, the enmity between the Minosians and Athenians began. As the Chief God worshiped by both cities, Athena could only watch this fratricidal farce unfold.
I wonder if the shadows of the gods are still lurking behind this.
As Luo En pondered silently, he inadvertently looked up and saw in the dim starlight of the night, dense black dots seemed to drift across the sky.
Wait! They weren't dots! It was a large group of flying monsters!
As Luo En's gaze sharpened, his wide-open purple eyes reflected the silhouettes of birds with human faces.
"Above! Siren harpies!"
The warning shout from a scribe behind startled the Great Prince, and his soothed heartstrings immediately tightened. He bellowed out loud at once.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!
It's the Divine Blood clan! Activate the Defensive Charms, now!"
In an instant, the message was relayed, the warning magic circles on the watchtowers were activated simultaneously, and the desolate sound of horns echoed along the entire coastline, spreading towards Knossos Royal City.
Compared to the amphibious Sea Beasts, these Divine Blood relatives with the ability to fly had the advantage of bypassing high walls, diving straight into the heartland city-states of Crete Island.
"Take cover! Take cover!"
The troops stationed within the city, upon seeing the signals along the coastline, immediately sounded the alarms and called out loudly.
"Everyone, get inside immediately, lock your doors and windows, and don't come out!"
Simultaneously, a fierce wind gusted, dust rose, and the currents lifted by the wind swept across houses and streets, leaving behind a sharp wail.
The residents in Knossos City, who were a bit confused at first, now rushed into nearby houses with pale faces as if jolted awake from a dream.
Prior beast waves were mostly limited to landings from the sea, and this fixed mode of attack led them to believe subconsciously that as long as the coastline was defended, Knossos City would be absolutely safe.
However, the vast sea was home not only to amphibious sea monsters but also to the Divine Blood relatives capable of flight!
This sudden change immediately disrupted the Minosians' defensive rhythm.
After a number of limited-range arrows were fired to little effect, most not even touching the feathers of the Siren harpies but being blown away by the surrounding chaotic air currents.
"Spellcasters! Spellcasters! Hurry, intercept them!"
Amidst the loud roars of the Great Prince on the city walls, the somewhat listless priests and sorcerers had no choice but to gulp down Magic Potions to restore their energy. They rallied their spirits, combined spells, and targeted a large group of Siren harpies trying to cross the coastal defense line.
As everyone knows, these bird-bodied, human-faced monsters could use their singing to charm ordinary people's minds.
Instantaneously, dozens of bronze bird feathers shot out like arrows, breaking through the air and smashing the hearts of more than a dozen Sirens.
Under the power of absolute strength, the formation of the Sirens was thoroughly torn apart, no longer daring to approach the range of that small purple figure.
They abandoned their dense formation, trying to bypass the dangerous presence of the purple-haired young girl, and prepared to encircle her from both flanks to capture and kill the frail ordinary humans behind her.
However, having found a moment to breathe, the fortress's soldiers had already tightened their ranks under the command of the Crown Prince.
Rows of impenetrable round shields and the piercing spears thrusting out from the gaps between them made it so that the swooping Sirens had nowhere to extend their claws. Instead, taken by surprise, two or three of their younger beings below the rank of Gold were impaled and killed.
That the noble Divine Blood kin should fall in the spear forest of their prey was quite ironic.
Meanwhile, the spellcasters, having regained their composure, saw themselves unharmed and after a brief recovery, finally demonstrated their proper role.
For a moment, a variety of ascending Defensive Charms, enhancing auras, and temple Suppression Spells helped to stabilize the situation atop the city walls for their side.
"Damn it!"
"Curse it!"
"Filthy bugs!"
Not only had they failed to gnaw through this tough bone, but they had almost broken their teeth in the attempt. The angry Sirens cursed like shrews as they miserably retreated back to the sea.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Little Medusa in the sky, without a second thought, vibrated her wings, ready to pursue the victory.
"Anna, come back!"
Seeing this reckless action from the girl, Luo En's face changed immediately, he roared loudly.
Hearing the order from behind, Little Medusa, who had just flown out a hundred meters, hesitated and obediently turned around flapping her wings.
"Aaaaaa——!"
However, just as Little Medusa turned her head, a high-pitched monosyllabic chant spread from the sea.
In an instant, those who heard this enchanting song had a blank mind, involuntarily laying down their weapons, stepping over the battlements with a stupefied look, and moving forward.
"Goo goo~~!"
Just as the siren song was spreading over the island, a sound like an owl's clear call suddenly rang out, startling those enchanted and entranced by it into sudden wakefulness.
At the same time, Luo En, with eyes clear, snatched a spear from a warrior next to him with lightning speed, drawing his body into an exaggerated arc and flinging it forward with all his might.
"Pfft!"
Accompanying the sharp sound of cutting the air, the thrown spear whizzed past the hair on the left side of Little Medusa, pinning a purple-red octopus tentacle covered in suckers to the ground in the darkness.
