Outside the square of the palace were densely packed soldiers, holding weapons in their hands and calling the same person's name, which was the legendary son of Zeus, Hercules.
King Curtis and General Scott were pushed out of the palace by Autolykos, without any royal demeanor.
Naturally, the center of power of a country cannot only be a king and a general. However, in Thrace, the only two people with absolute power in the country at war. The generals who are used for military power or who are supported by the people are the Greeks. The most common person in the country and the easiest person to ascend to the position of tyrant.
In other words, as long as a person has power, prestige and strength, and can control the citizens, he can ascend to the position of tyrant through a coup. In Greek politics, even a tyrant is legal. Of course, if If Heracles is willing to follow tradition and marry the former king's queen, Princess Erginia, then he is the legitimate and legitimate king.
In the middle of the night, a bright torch burned, and the wind from the coast swayed the fire. A chill came over, and Hercules did not feel the enthusiasm of the soldiers, but only felt fear.
It is not the soldiers who are afraid, but the mysterious and unattainable gods, fate, and it is the goddess Hera who controls his fate.
Hercules waved his hand and raised his hands high. The soldiers who were calling his name stopped at the same time. When they saw Hercules, they seemed to see a god. They showed their faces to this god-like hero. A look of adoration.
"I heard that there was an oracle that Hera and Heracles would reconcile for the right purpose. Do you know what kind of purpose this is?"
Amphiaceus exclaimed that of all the people present there was no one more fit for the occasion than he, the prophet.
The soldiers put down their weapons and stared at the man standing on the high platform. Suddenly a soldier said, "Everyone said that Hera chose Hercules and you became the king of Thrace. Your arrival was Hera's." By will, Hera was willing to reconcile with Hercules in order to save Thrace."
"Yes, that's what I heard too. When you came to Thrace, the statue of Hera disappeared. I originally thought that the arrival of Hercules made the goddess Hera unhappy, but everyone said that you were here to save Thrace. Here comes Reis."
"So also says the oracle of the temple priest."
The soldiers all said that this is how the rumors spread. Everyone added fuel and jealousy, and eventually deformed during the spread, leading to more and more exaggeration. Under the guidance of thoughtful people, Yue Laer became more and more deceptive, which definitely included the threat to Thrace. The dissatisfied opponents of King Curtis took the opportunity to fan the flames and wanted to provoke an internal fight between King Curtis and Hercules.
Perhaps many of them did not support Hercules becoming the king of Thrace, but they definitely wanted to oust the unpopular king Curtis. Z.br>
"I really should have killed you."
King Curtis had resentment in his eyes. From the beginning, he should have blamed Hercules for the disappearance of the goddess Hera. In mythology, Hera and Hercules had a grudge. As soon as they entered Thrace, the goddess Hera disappeared, and there was no one more suitable to take the blame than him.
"But you have no chance now. Old man, you dare to threaten my father."
Seeing that this old man dared to threaten his father, William kicked him on the leg. The king who was standing was kicked down directly, and his body lost its center of gravity and staggered to the ground.
Hercules frowned and felt a little dissatisfied with William's disrespectful behavior. However, seeing that William kicked down King Curtis for himself, he couldn't say anything to accuse him. After all, this was The filial piety of one's own children.
"What's wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
William had an expression of shame on his face. When he noticed the expression on Hercules' face that he wanted to accuse but ended up not accusing him, he instantly realized that his arrogant behavior might not please Hercules, a good man.
Although the legend of Heracles, the son of Zeus, and the achievements of the Twelve Trials are rumors, there is considerable truth in them.
In part, compared to the extremely arrogant Hercules in mythology, the man in front of him was truly a true and kind-hearted hero.
"No, if you are dissatisfied with him, just kill him."
Hercules touched William's head with his hand and comforted him, "This kind of palace coup and the power struggle between royal families is very cruel."
"oh!"
William was stunned for a moment, and only then did he realize that even the heroic Hercules had countless blood on his hands, not to mention that he was just a mercenary now.
"We have killed too many kings." Autolykos said with a smile, obviously without any awe for the Thracian king.
"William, are you really my son?" Hercules asked, even though he was sure in his heart, he still had doubts.
"Yes. It's just that I am the son of the future Hercules and Hebe, not the son of Hercules now." William said affirmatively.
"Is there any difference?" Hercules asked.
"I am your son in mythology, the son of the union of two gods. To put it bluntly, if you had not completed your twelve trials, you would not have been able to marry my mother, and I would not have been born. ." William said slowly, the current Hercules is not his father.
"I understand what you mean."
"You don't fully understand."
"What did you say?"
Hercules didn't understand, but Amphiaceus said in a calm voice, "The union between gods and humans gives birth to half-human and half-god heroes. The union between gods and gods gives birth to heroes who are half-human and half-gods." There are hundreds of gods. For example, if you are the son of Zeus and a human woman, you are still a mortal, and William, the son of Hebe and Hercules, must be a god."
"Are you a god?" Hercules frowned, and when he heard these words, he couldn't help but feel a turmoil in his heart.
"Not yet, you are not, how could I be." William shook his head in denial, then looked forward and took the crown of King Curtis and put it on top of Hercules' head.
Everyone looked at this scene in surprise. The moment Hercules put on the crown, William took back the snake charm that represented invisibility. At this moment, the statue of Hera finally returned to Thrace. In the palace square, it seemed that Hera's appearance was for the coronation of Hercules.
"Hercules, my father, you must follow your destiny and perform twelve great deeds so that you will be qualified to marry my mother and so that I will be born in the future."
William looked at the expression of joy on the face of Heracles who put on the crown, and he felt that the energy of the destiny gold coin was constantly being charged.
"How about we set a small goal first, such as unifying all of Greece?"
