Ares, God of War

But Hippomenes thought it was Atalanta who was attracted by his own charm, so he continued to say to himself:

"Beautiful princess, why, I also participated in the competition registration, do you want to compete with me?"

"It doesn't matter." Atalanta didn't care that Hippomenes came up to challenge her when she had just finished running and hadn't had time to rest. For her, it was just a warm-up to beat these people.

So Hippomenes turned his head and took this opportunity to drive away those guys who failed in the arena. Seeing this, Iasos was a little displeased, and he said, "Young man, think it over and do it for me." With such a decision, you'd better win against my daughter later, otherwise...you may die in a more uncomfortable way."

"It doesn't matter, noble king, I will definitely win, because fate and the gods are looking after me." Hippomenes touched the golden apple in his arms, looking full of confidence.

"Then you go on stage." Iasos waved his hand and ordered.

Hippomenes stood on the same starting line as Atalanta, and he did not forget to wink at the princess of Arcadia, but at this moment, Atalanta suddenly turned his head and said:

"Since we want to compete, how about calling all the contestants today, is there anyone else?"

"Yes." There was a childish cry from the crowd, and then a young boy dressed as a servant got out of the crowd and came to the arena.

Chapter 223. Thank you, brother, thank you

After seeing Ares, the little servant boy, come on stage, the audience was silent for a moment.

Iasos, King of Arcadia, was furious, and shouted, "Aren't you Atalanta's page? How dare you take part in this sacred contest full of honor!"

"Servant?"

Hearing this, Hippomenes also asked with a stiff smile:

"Little brother, you are not good..."

"What's wrong?"

Ares deliberately pretended to be affectionate, looked at Atalanta, and said to her:

"I have always admired my master, but because of our status, we are destined to only get along in this way, but now, I finally have a chance for us to be together, how can I Give up, noble king, gods in the sky, please allow me to have such a precious opportunity, if I lose, then I will kill myself, gouge out my heart and offer it to the gods in the sky."

Iasos patted the table angrily, and was about to refuse just now, but at this moment, there was a strong wind in the sky, and a thunderbolt suddenly descended from the sky and landed on the field, blasting a hole in the center of the field. Big pit.

"It's lightning! It's God's lightning!"

The audience on the sidelines suddenly exclaimed:

"The gods answered the page's request!"

Of course, both the lightning and the audience on the field were actually written by Ares, but he has already aroused discussions among other audiences on the field. These people shouted one after another, thinking that the lightning was from the sky. A sign from the gods.

Iasos looked at the sky with a solemn expression. In this era, even a king would not dare to disobey the will of the gods. Therefore, Iasos' face turned blue and white, and it was still only possible for Ares to stand up. Come from the other side of Atalanta.

Hippomenes saw Ares standing on his own field, and his face was not very good. He looked at Atalanta beside him, hesitated to speak, but finally said aloud:

"Princess Atalanta, do you really want your servant boy to run the race? He should be your favorite servant. It's a pity to die like this."

"It doesn't matter."

Hippomenes watched Atalanta glance at Ares beside her. Her Royal Highness Princess of Arcadia seemed a little nervous for some reason. She replied:

"He runs fast."

The relationship between the two is unusual.

Hippomenes felt a little jealous suddenly, and he began to think secretly in his heart, should he kill Ares after the game is over.

Not enough At this time, Iasos has announced that the contestants are starting to prepare, so Hippomenes can only restrain his mind, start warming up, and prepare for the game.

One minute later, all three players were ready to run near the starting line. The King of Arcadia waved his hand and shouted: "The race begins!"

Following Iasos' order, Hippomenes rushed out immediately, and Ares followed closely behind. His small body suddenly exploded at a speed comparable to that of an adult man, Following in the footsteps of Hippomenes, only Atalanta still stayed where she was.

She kept staring at Hippomenes until Hippomenes was halfway on the track, then she suddenly exerted her strength and turned into a green breeze, quickly closing the distance between Hippomenes and Hippomenes. the distance.

Hippomenes only felt a gust of wind coming from behind him, and then saw Atalanta directly surpassing him and running in front of him, seeing Atalanta's terrifying running speed, Hippomenes Si didn't dare to neglect, he directly took out a golden apple from his body, and then threw it vigorously to the side.

The golden apple rolled into the grass outside the arena, but the grass couldn't cover up its dazzling brilliance. It attracted the attention of all the people in the field, and Hippomenes saw Atalanta's eyes. Involuntarily attracted by this golden apple, he was overjoyed, but the next moment, a happy voice sounded from behind him.

"What a beautiful apple!"

At this time, Ares behind Hippomenes suddenly burst into a strange speed. He quickly ran into the grass, and with a swoop, he picked up the golden apple.

He wiped the surface of the golden apple, then picked it up, and then shouted at Atalanta: "Your Highness, I have put away your golden apple for you! Don't worry!"

Why is it hers again, it's mine!

Hippomenes was furious, but Atalanta in front of him did not stop after seeing this situation, but continued to run after nodding his head, so Hippomenes could only close his eyes. Mouth, continue to sprint up.

After picking up the golden apples, Ares also returned to the track. He continued to hang far behind Hippomenes. The three of them ran a lap, and Atalanta was already far ahead. Hippomenes would have no hope of overtaking her.

As a last resort, Hippomenes could only take out another golden apple and prepared to throw it towards the side of the arena. As soon as he took out this treasure, the eyes of the audience were immediately attracted by the brilliance of this treasure , but just as Hippomenes dropped the golden apple, a black shadow sprang out from behind him, grabbing the golden apple in his arms.

"Thank you, brother, thank you."

With a simple smile, Ares wiped the golden apple with his clothes, and thanked Hippomenes sincerely.

"Brother, do you have any more? You are going to throw them away anyway, why don't you give them to me as well. I just saw that you still have one in your pocket."

"Shut up, you page boy!"

Hippomenes was furious, and cried:

"If you dare to ruin my good deeds, let's see if I can trouble you in the future!"
