Ares, God of War

After crossing this dangerous land, the heroes on the Argo are much closer to their destination, Kochis Island. It is estimated that there will be at most three or four transfers on the way, and the Argo will arrive at Kochi, the hometown of Medea. When the spirit of Ares moved back to his avatar, he happened to hear Jason holding the chart and talking to the other heroes on the ship:

"Next, we need to choose a supply location before we can move on. I have two alternative locations. Which one is better for you to see."

After finishing speaking, he unfolded the chart, pointed to two places on the chart and said:

"This is Dia Island, and here is Aetolia. Both sides are very close to us, and Dia Island is a little farther away, because it is closer to Cochis Island. However, there is no city-state on Dia Island, and supplies are needed. We have to do it ourselves to find food and fresh water, and there is a Calydonian kingdom here in Aetolia, but we have to spend money to replenish it here. Which side do you think is better?"

The heroes looked at the chart, and Theseus asked:

"Which place does the captain think is better?"

"I personally prefer Dia Island." Jason said: "Although there are no people here, there should be people living on it. Maybe we can find a guide who is familiar with the route of Cochise Island."

Hearing his words, Medea coughed twice, but did not speak, while Peleus frowned and said:

"Why don't we go to the Kingdom of Calydon? I think it's much more convenient to buy it with money. If you have money, you may not find someone who knows the route of Cochise Island in Calydon, right? I remember the one who got off the boat before." Meleager, he seems to be from the Kingdom of Calydon."

Jason didn't speak, but Atalanta next to him said softly:

"Because at this time, there is a huge wild boar raging in the kingdom of Calydon, which is very dangerous."

"Hey, how do you know?" Peleus asked curiously.

"Because this wild boar was released by the goddess I serve, Artemis." Atalanta replied angrily: "Because King Onius of Calydon forgot Artemis during the harvest season." The goddess Themis, so the goddess released a huge wild boar on the field of Calydon to destroy the crops and livestock of Calydon. At this time, Meleagerus, the prince of Calydon, seemed to be there The heroes of the Greek city-states were summoned to hunt this monster, which is why he disembarked early."

"Oh, if that's the case, shouldn't we go?" Peleus rubbed his head, looked at Jason and asked, "Captain, many of us boarded the ship to make meritorious deeds. This wild boar is a Great opportunity."

Chapter 210. Hercules Shoots the Sun

Regarding Peleus' question, Jason pursed his lips and remained silent.

But Ares knew why he didn't want to drive the Argo to the Kingdom of Calydon to participate in the hunting of wild boars.

After losing the help of the two strongest heroes, Hercules and Perseus, Jason's journey along the way seemed to mean that his potential had been liberated, and he gradually became a person who could lead The real captain of the crowd, but even he couldn't restrain all the crew on the Argo to follow him to Cochise Island.

Heroes all have strong personal thoughts, which is the same no matter where they are, so even if these heroes boarded the Argo and temporarily obeyed Jason’s command, when the Argo’s itinerary and their own goals When there is a conflict with the arrangement, they will leave the Argonaut without hesitation to pursue their own goals.

During the journey from Phineus to the Rock of Impact, and then to the Black Sea, many heroes have left the Argo for such reasons.

And if the Argo really wanted to anchor in the Kingdom of Calydon to participate in the hunting of the Calydonian wild boars, then maybe some heroes would disembark and leave the Argo because of this. When he arrived at Cochise Island, the power in his hands would probably decrease a lot.

As far as Ares knows, his worry is not unreasonable. After the hunt in Calydon is over, apart from others, at least Atalanta will definitely disembark and leave. A child raised in the wild by a holy beast sent by Artemis, but in fact she is the daughter of King Iasos of Arcadia and Chrymene, and she is a legitimate princess.

However, her father, Iasos, was a typical patriarchal man. Because he wanted a son, he simply abandoned Atalanta to the wilderness after seeing that the child he gave birth to was a daughter. If it weren't for Artemis' pity, Atalanta should be dead by now.

However, during the Calydonian wild boar hunt, Atalanta showed that she was as powerful as a man. She was the first among the heroes to discover the wild boar and wound it. With the arrow fired by Intuit, Prince Meleagerus of Calydon was able to successfully kill the wild boar that harmed one side with his spear.

This incident made Atalanta a heroine admired by everyone in the Greek world, and because of this incident, the old king of Arcadia, Iasos, put on an old face and wanted to fight with Atalanta. Intuit thinks father and daughter.

Perhaps thinking that she was her biological father after all, Atalanta also recognized her father this time, but then she was brought back to Arcadia by Iasos because her father wanted her to marry, A powerful heir was born for Arcadia, and later there was a tragic story of Atalanta choosing a husband-in-law with a race as a bet, and then being cheated by the goddess of beauty Aphrodite.

If Ares is here, whether the tragedy of Atalanta will happen will not be mentioned for the time being, but the heroine will probably follow her father back to Arcadia in the end, so Jason's worries will also be affected. accomplish.

However, in response to this situation, Ares actually made arrangements quietly.

So when the heroes were discussing where to go next, he cleared his throat and said to Jason, "Jason."

As soon as the God of War spoke, his voice suppressed the voices of all the heroes present, and the others fell silent all of a sudden, listening to Ares' speech quietly, and only Medea, who was fearless and fearless, was surprised Looking at Ares carefully, he asked:

"Brother, are you finally awake?"

"I'm not sleeping."

Ares nodded at Medea, and then looked at a certain yellow-haired captain.

he asked:

"Jason, do you want to be a hero?"

"Of course." Jason bit his lip and replied.

"Then go to Calydon."

Ares said:

"I know what you are worried about. Don't be afraid. In the Kingdom of Calydon, you will indeed lose some, but you will gain more. Besides, your crew members also want to participate in this hunt, don't they?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at the other heroes and met the gaze of the God of War. Many heroes couldn't help turning their heads away, but there were also naive people like Peleus, and girls like Atalanta who sincerely longed for hunting. He met his gaze without fear.

When God of War scanned the audience, Jason also turned his head to look at his crew members. He also noticed the longing in the eyes of these people, so after a little thought, he shrugged his shoulders as if giving up, said:

"Since it's the meaning of the God of War, then we naturally can't disobey, everyone, the next stop is to go to the Kingdom of Calydon!"

Hearing Jason's arrangement, the heroes on the Argo let out a cheer, and then they rowed their oars vigorously, and the big ship turned around on the sea, and then headed towards the Calydon Kingdom.

……

While the Argo was sailing towards the Calydon Kingdom, on the other side of the land across the sea from the Calydon Kingdom, a strong man also came to the coast.

He stood on the shore and stared at the other side of the sea. The sun in the sky shone on his perfect bronze muscles, reflecting a dazzling light. He was wearing lion skin armor, carrying a golden bow on his back, and carried a human-powered sword on his shoulder. Uncontrollable, a heavy stick made of pure bronze, this man was Hercules who left the Argonaut for a long time because of the arrangement of Athena and the gods.

Today's Hercules has completed his ninth trial. In the kingdom of the Amazons, he has obtained the belt of the Amazon Queen Hippolyta from the God of War Ares.

In the original mythology, Hercules was also treated courteously in the Amazon kingdom. Although Amazon women looked down on men, they also respected Heracles, a great hero who surpassed mortals. But because of Hera's jealousy, the Amazons The women were instigated to conflict with Hercules, which led to the tragedy of the Amazons.

But here, Hera has become a sheltered attitude towards Hercules, and she is naturally unlikely to turn into an Amazon woman to instigate the entire race, and with the double protection of Ares and Artemis , Hercules was also regarded as a guest of honor by the Amazon Kingdom, and was warmly received by the Amazon women.

Just to be on the safe side, Ares still ordered his Queen Hippolyta to arrange a series of powerful Amazon warriors to fight Hercules one after another. It's just that someone came pretending to be Hercules and wanted to take his belt, just to guard against it.
