When Kai and others approached the city, the monster army in the city suddenly began to mobilize. Countless monsters were organized into neat armies and marched out of the city, heading towards the inland areas. When Diana saw this scene, she immediately planned to stop them, but was quickly stopped by Kai.
"Don't worry about them, someone will help stop them."
Diana and the others looked at Kai.
"who?"
Kai looked at the ocean behind him and said mysteriously: "You don't think that you Amazons are the only remnants of the mythical age, do you?"
Diana was stunned for a moment, then blurted out: "Atlantis?!!!"
Kai smiled and didn't answer. This got others thinking. In Europe, the legend of Atlantis has been circulating for a long time. It is said to be the name of an ancient continent, country or city-state with a high degree of civilization development. The earliest recorded description appears in the work "Dialogues" of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It is said to have been destroyed by a prehistoric flood in 10,000 BC.
There are even similar narratives in the ancient Mexican writings preserved in the Vatican of the Papal State (i.e., the "Vatican City State Codex") and the works of the Indian civilization in Mexico that have survived to this day: "There have been four generations on the earth. Humans. The first generation of humans were giants. They were not residents here, but came from the sky. They were destroyed by hunger; the second generation of humans were destroyed by huge fires; the third generation of humans were ape-men, and they were destroyed by cannibalism. Later, the fourth generation of humans appeared, humans in the 'sun and water stage'. Human civilization at this stage was destroyed by a huge flood with huge waves."
It can be said that the legend of Atlantis has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, especially in this era of the rise of science fiction, many will use Atlantis as a blueprint.
Others also suspected that the Atlantis Kai mentioned was the one they imagined.
But Kai didn't want to say more, so they naturally couldn't ask more questions. They just think Kai is a bit weird. He has concealed many issues now. Kai was not like this before, he was not a mystic. In the past, he had never concealed many secrets.
At least Afu learned a lot of secrets along the way that ordinary people couldn't access. ,
But now, Kai is secretive.
However, although they are curious, they will not really ask without overestimating their abilities. Kai told them out of love, but didn't tell them out of duty.
Soon, they no longer had the intention to care about these things.
Because the monsters discovered them.
In fact, it is not difficult for those monsters to find their group. All humans in the city are dead, but now there are a few humans walking through the city. Do you really think those monsters are blind?
This is not to blame Kai and the others, because under the current situation, it is impossible for them to sneak into the city quietly. Ares's army comes from all kinds of strange places. Just like the monster museum, there are all kinds of monsters.
There are some that fly in the sky, some that swim in the water, some that run on the ground, and some that even travel underground.
Trying to pass through the entire city under such all-round surveillance is tantamount to wishful thinking.
Seeing a group of goat-headed monsters and flying dragons running towards them, even the elite soldiers who followed Diana across the battlefield on the Western Front felt their legs tremble a little. No way, they had only heard of those monsters in fairy tales before, who knew they would see them with their own eyes today.
And these monsters are different from vampires. The legend of vampires actually only lasts a few hundred years, but those goat-headed monsters and flying dragons are different. They have existed almost since the rise of European civilization.
Because the birthplace of European civilization is Greece!
Many of those monsters and legends come from Greek legends.
Although they were a little guilty, they had seen the world, so when they faced the battle, they quickly adjusted their mentality. Start preparing the battle line in an orderly manner and start sniping those monsters.
One machine gun after another was taken out by the team members, and a lot of grenades and various explosives were also prepared. For them, there will never be a shortage of weapons and ammunition. If they were not familiar with new weapons such as tanks, Kai could even bring out a few British tanks for them to open the way.
Soon the battle began.
When the bullets swept through the monsters, causing blood and flesh to spatter, the morale of the team immediately rose. The unknown is always scary, but when they discover that these monsters are actually flesh and blood and can be killed by bullets and artillery, their fear will immediately disappear.
The physical fitness of those monsters is much stronger than that of humans, but they are not so exaggerated that bullets cannot penetrate them.
Rows of goat-headed monsters were beaten to pieces by bullets. The flying dragons in the sky were a little stronger than the goat-headed monsters, but they would still dodge and retreat when hit by the overwhelming bullets.
The battle did not put humans at a disadvantage from the beginning.
But similarly, monsters will not retreat so easily. They may have primitive weapons and poor minds, but there are two things they are much stronger than humans. One is the quantity, and the other is that these guys are really brave and not afraid of death.
The sound of gunfire caused countless monsters to gather here, blocking them tightly from front to back and left and right, making it impossible for them to move forward.
In the end, it was Diana and Kai who did the work of opening the road.
"Thunder Pillar!"
A bolt of lightning flew out of Kai's hand, instantly turning a large area of monsters into charcoal. Diana on the other side is not to be outdone. She doesn't know any magic, but she has divine power!
I saw her jumping into the air, crossing her arms, and an orange shock wave instantly blew a group of monsters away. At this moment, a one-eyed man walked out from the corner carrying a huge wooden stick two people high. .
Just in time Diana landed next to him.
Without any hesitation, Cyclops hit a home run and knocked out Diana who was not on a firm footing. Diana hit a building like a cannonball.
boom!
The building collapsed quickly, and Diana's figure was completely obscured by the huge cloud of smoke, dust and rubble.
"Diana!!!" Steve saw Diana being attacked and immediately planned to save him.
Unfortunately, the giant seemed not to give up, dragging the huge wooden stick in his hand towards the ruins of the building.
"You monster, stay away from her!"
Steve raised the light machine gun in his hand and kept firing at the giant, hoping to defeat the Cyclops. It's a pity that the Cyclops has rough skin and thick flesh. Although the bullets of the light machine gun can leave wounds on its body, it can't really hurt it. All the bullets are stuck in the giant's tough muscles.
On the contrary, it was the pain caused by the bullet that completely angered the giant. Steve did it, or in other words, he did half of it. He successfully lured the giant away, but then he was in big trouble. Giants usually have no brains and bad tempers. The most important thing is that they are very vindictive!
The giant raised his big stick and planned to smash Steve, the little ant who was causing pain to him.
"Roar!!!!"
The giant roared and raised his stick, and Steve chose to run away very wisely. He didn't think that his small body could bear the stick even for a moment.
But the giant's roar soon stopped. Steve turned his head and saw a flaming spiral sword protruding from the giant's open mouth. Without waiting for Steve to say anything, the giant sword slashed casually, and half of the giant's head was cut off, revealing the owner of the giant sword - Kai.
"Don't leave your teammates at will. These things are not something you can deal with alone!"
Kai didn't say much. After saying this, he immediately jumped off the giant and decapitated a manticore that was planning to attack Steve!
"But Diana..."
Steve pointed at the collapsed building that Diana crashed into and planned to say something. But he was immediately interrupted by Kai.
"Worry more about yourself. Diana will not be killed so easily." Kai's voice just finished.
The ruins of the building suddenly exploded, and a red figure rushed out of the ruins and hit a giant who was raising a boulder and planning to throw it.
"boom!"
The giant, which was five to six meters tall and weighed at least several tons, was knocked away. Before the giant could get up from the ground, Diana roared and jumped on the giant's chest. The sword of Vulcan in her hand flashed a cold light, and the giant's head was cut open like butter.
"Do you still think she needs you to worry?" Kai pouted at Steve. Then he flew into the sky and cut open the chest of a flying dragon that was about to spit out fire with a sword. The flames that were supposed to be sprayed out instantly burst out from the flying dragon's chest, burning itself into charcoal.
After killing the flying dragon, Kai immediately changed his target. He fell directly from the air and smashed into a group of monsters like a boulder. The huge impact caused the monsters that had gathered together to explode, revealing Kai's target.
A rare monster - a snake demon! (Also known as Snake Demon)
It should be noted here that the snake demon and Medusa are two completely different things. Medusa is a personal name. Medusa is one of the three Gorgon sisters. She is the only mortal among the three sisters, and the image of Medusa is not the one with the head of a human and the body of a snake. That was the version modified by the Romans in later Roman times.
The real Medusa has swan wings on her back and no hair on her head, only venomous snakes twisting and twisting. Even so, it is still difficult to cover up her beauty. As long as anyone looks into her eyes, they will be attracted by her. Attracted by beauty and magic, it lost its soul and turned into a stone statue.
The snake demons are different. They are both male and female, but most of them are very ugly. Female snake demons have the head of a human and the body of a snake. They can also use "Petrification", but the power and frequency are much worse than that of Medusa. The male snake demons are cow-footed and have bodies with venomous snakes in their hair and beards. They do not know magic, but they are extremely powerful and cannot be hurt by swords.
What Kai saw was the female snake demon.
These female snake demons do not choose close combat like the males. They prefer to hide in the distance and use their own bows and arrows to fight with petrified light.
When Kai appeared in front of the female snake demon, the female snake demon immediately panicked and her first reaction was to run away. For female snake demons, close combat is the worst choice, although they have good melee capabilities.
The reason why Kai chose her is simply because she is much more dangerous than other monsters to humans who have no spell resistance.
But as soon as she turned around, Kai grabbed her tail. Kai pulled her back by her tail and grabbed her neck.
The female snake demon knew that she could not escape, so she immediately used her own petrifying light, and her eyes suddenly glowed with dazzling white light. As soon as the white light came into contact with Kai's body, Kai's golden body began to turn into gray-white.
That's the reaction after petrification.
The female snake demon was overjoyed that she had actually defeated such a difficult enemy, which would allow her to be rewarded by Ares.
But before she could smile, a spiral sword split her into two pieces.
"No one told you that the petrifying light is not available to everyone?"
After receiving the gift from the god Ra, Kai had extraordinary spell resistance. The snake monster's petrifying light was indeed very powerful, but for him, it could not only make his body look a little ugly. Has no effect outside of it.
"Ha!!!!" On the other side, Diana held the Vulcan Sword and let out a hearty battle cry, cutting down the enemies in front of her one by one. When the last Minotaur was clamped around the neck with her legs, Diana After the sword pierced his forehead, the surrounding monsters had been cleared away.
Only one male snake demon was left, and he was captured by Afu and Steve. They surrounded him with hot weapons and fired, then took the opportunity to drop twenty grenades on his head before knocking him unconscious.
Diana untied her mantra lasso and bound the male gorgon.
"Tell me, Basilisk! Where is Ares?!!!"
The mantra lasso immediately emitted a golden light. Under the power of the lasso, the male snake demon could not hide the answer Diana wanted even if he tried his best to resist.
"The master...is...in the center of the city..."
Before he finished speaking, the male snake demon used his last bit of strength to control his mind. Taking this opportunity, he used the poisonous snake on his face to bite him hard on the neck. The poisonous nature of the snake demon is no joke. A monster over three meters tall turned into a pool of pus and blood in just a few seconds.
This scene caused several people to retreat continuously, for fear of being contaminated by a little bit of poison. This thing is more terrifying than poison gas.
"Okay, let's go. The monsters will be around again soon."
…
While Kai and the others were fighting and heading towards the center of the city, the male villain, Ares, was leisurely drinking wine and watching their performance.
Ares loves war and loves war. Generally speaking, he does not take a stance on war.
He never cared much about who wins or loses in a war. The winner is naturally the strong one, and the strong one can get his attention and love. So even though he was running around in various battlefields in World War I, in fact, he himself didn't really intervene too much.
Except for Ludendorff, even so, it was because Ares felt that the Germans did not have much chance of victory in this war, and were even likely to lose the war soon. So he must give some support.
It was he who whispered in the ears of Hindenburg and Ludendorff when they were fighting against the Russians on the German Eastern Front, allowing them to block the Russian attacks and win again and again. Ares then whispered into Lady Viper's ear and asked her to invent mustard gas and other poisonous gases.
But that's all. The Germans will definitely lose. This was doomed before the war started. The background of the two sides in the war is very different. He never thought about changing this result. The only reason he did so was to make this war longer and more brutal.
It's the same now, he also holds this view regarding the battle between Kai and his group.
Although those monsters are all his servants, it doesn't matter. The essence of war is never the result, but the process. It is these processes that make Ares stronger. In fact, not only Kai, but also the mortals who followed Kai brought great pleasure to Ares.
The first element of a warrior is strength, but the other is determination!
Ares likes those who go to the battlefield with the determination to die, because that is the true meaning of war!
"Come on, please me, let me see what you mortals can do."
…
I have to say, Ares is a really bad boss. This is just like an RPG game. The Demon King always hides in the deepest part of the castle, and then sends his men from weak to strong to deal with the protagonist. Even the standard Four Heavenly Kings under the Demon King will be placed honestly on the east, west, north, and south. direction.
Anyway, it's just to give you experience, make the protagonist stronger, and finally reach the devil's lair 'Game over'!
Have they never thought about the lion fighting the rabbit and killing the protagonist with one full blow?
At least Kai didn't understand what Ares was doing. He knew Kai was here to stop him, but he sent his soldiers to deal with him. I don’t know what to think.
…
The battle was extremely fierce from the beginning. Although Kai tried his best to avoid casualties, Kai was not omnipotent, and casualties still occurred. Those soldiers who should have enjoyed the glory and treatment they deserved after the war fell on the battlefield.
Even several specially selected guardians and Bedouin warriors under Kai were all killed in the battle. Now there are only four people who can keep up with Kai and Diana.
Brothers Logan, Alfred and Steve.
Steve's ability to persist until now has completely exceeded Kai's expectations. Putting aside the Logan brothers, Afu is a person who has been baptized by the Holy Grail, and his physical fitness has long been far superior to ordinary people. It's not surprising that he persisted.
But Steve...he was completely human.
Looking at the setting sun, Kai finally stopped.
"It's almost time!" Others looked at Kai, wondering what he was going to say.
Kai didn't explain, but opened the door again.
As a ball of orange fireworks rotated, a circle appeared, and the opposite side of the circle was the Nautilus! Some of the Nautilus's crew were still looking at the portal.
Steve and Logan were stunned. They didn't understand why Kai did this.
"You go over there, the rest of the battle no longer belongs to you."
Aful was stunned for a moment, and then took the lead in stepping forward to teleport. Steve hesitated and stepped over. But before stepping over, Steve suddenly reacted. Why didn't Kai use this spell to save those injured and dying warriors before?
And what is the meaning of their battle? If Kai only wanted Diana, why take them with him?
But Steve didn't ask until the end.
It was the turn of the Logan brothers. They were also miserable, but fortunately their lives were not in danger.
"I'm about to meet Ares. No matter what I say, I can't leave at this time! I must see that bastard! I want to see that bastard! Ask him why he killed so many people?"
Victor was the first to be reluctant. He now accepted that they were descendants of gods. In his opinion, since gods created humans, why do they let humans endure these disasters. If the gods really hated them, why did they create them?
Logan didn't speak. He lit the last cigar and looked into the distance with firm eyes.
Only Diana looked at Kai, as if she had noticed something. Finally she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Kay...did you do it on purpose?"
Although Diana didn't say it clearly, Kai knew what she wanted to say.
"Yes! This is a necessary sacrifice. I asked them before setting off if they were afraid of being sacrificed..."
Kai was greeted by Diana's fist.
This made Logan and Victor a little confused. What happened? At the end of the level, the boss actually started fighting among themselves.
"They obviously... shouldn't have died here." Diana said with red eyes.
"In order to confuse Ares, I have to do this. Otherwise, more people will die." Kai touched his slapped cheek and was not angry.
At this time, Logan and the others also understood a little bit.
"You mean, you brought us with you, just as a pretense?"
Victor's tone was very bad, no one likes to be played.
Logan, on the other hand, was calmer. He understood that Kai must have his own reasons. Kai had no grudge against anyone, so there was no need for him to trick them. If Kai really wanted to deal with them, wouldn't it be faster for him to do it himself?
But Kai still did this, which can only mean one thing, that is, it was necessary for him to do this.
"For what?" Logan asked.
"Have you seen the leaving army? Our opponent is not only Ares, we must ensure that that army is also destroyed. Otherwise, if we leave them behind, the world will still be doomed!"
After Ares' plan was completed, mankind's biggest enemy was actually no longer Ares. If it was just for Ares alone, bringing others would be a burden.
The biggest enemy of mankind now is precisely the army under Ares!
After all, no matter how powerful Ares is, he can kill many people, but the endless army under his command is different. Even if each of them only kills one person, the number of deaths caused is an extremely huge number!
"So our sacrifices are meaningful?"
"Yes!"
Kai didn't like this. Sacrificing a small number of people in exchange for the safety of the majority of people was never a simple multiple-choice question.
Kai did plan to deal with Ares with Diana at first. But Ancient One told Kai that they must attract Ares' attention! Attracting his gaze firmly, only in this way can Kama Taj's plan be given time.
Ares likes to see fierce and tragic battlefields, so Kai must give him what he wants.
In other words, those soldiers were sacrifices to Ares from the beginning! ! !
