"For Asgard!" The crowd of Tianma troops responded to Rhodes' call like a tsunami.
Rhodes stood right in front of the army and looked at the formation from left to right. The Pegasus troop consisted of twelve rows, each row had a hundred soldiers, a total of 1,200 soldiers, and the soldiers at the head of each row wore a badge of bravery on their chests. .
This badge is only eligible for fighters who have made military exploits for Asgard.
Rhodes knew that these people were a small captain of each column.
He nodded, and then ordered: "From left to right, the three columns are divided into a small team, and those with the highest qualifications are all captains, and they head towards the four regions of Greece, east, west, north, and south."
Heimdall raised the long sword and inserted it into the groove, and then a bridge of rainbow light appeared in front of everyone.
Without hesitation, the army marched towards different areas according to Rhodes' instructions, and their figures quickly disappeared into the rainbow light.
Odin looked at the back of Rhodes commanding the army, and couldn't help admiring in a low voice: "Hella really cultivated a talent."
"God King." After assigning the task of the Pegasus Army, Rhodes came to Odin's side.
Odin suddenly sat very lazily on a chair, and then stood up with his spear.
"Are you a servant selected by the atrium?" The corners of his eyes curled into crescents, and he looked at Rhodes very kindly.
Rhodes nodded, "Yes, it was Lord Hela who promoted me to have the opportunity to enter the battlefield to burn myself for Asgard.".
Chapter 15: The Capital of Greece: Athens
Odin nodded, turned around and shouted, "Sig!"
Hela's bodyguard, Sig, ran over quickly, half-kneeled at Odin's feet, and lowered his head.
"I accept your call, my king."
"From now on, you will follow Rhode's command and join him in this search for Laufey." Odin said coldly.
Sig trembled slightly, but without raising his head, he said in a deep voice, "Okay, my king."
Odin smiled slightly at Rhodes, "Your parents are also in the atrium, if you don't want them to die, you can use all your strength. Laufey is not a simple role, and the army will be handed over to you."
After speaking, Odin turned and walked towards his palace.
Rhodes was not moved by Odin's words at all, even if he didn't say so, he would save the atrium.
Sig waited until Odin's figure completely disappeared from the field of vision, then slowly got up, opened his mouth slightly, and stared blankly at Rhodes.
After a long time, he squeezed out a sentence, "God King entrusted the army to you?"
Rhodes curled his lips, Odin pushed everything on himself, he was too troublesome.
"It depends."
"My God King!" Sig stretched out his hands in disbelief, gently resting on Rhode's arm.
"I know you are a talent, but I didn't expect to improve so fast."
Suddenly he put away his hippie smiling face, and then half-kneeled on the ground, "Head of the Guard, Sieg, is waiting for your orders."
Rhodes helped him up, then turned around and whistled to his pegasus.
Hearing the master's call, Pegasus spread its snow wings and stepped on the void to Rhodes.
"It's not too late, let's go too." Rhode stepped on the Pegasus, and then looked at Heimdall.
"At your command." Heldam bowed slightly and lowered his eyebrows.
"Teleport us to Athens, the capital of Greece." Rhodes said, letting Sig ride the Pegasus together.
The pegasus under him groaned in displeasure, not because of the weight. Asgard's pegasus could hold up a mountain, and it didn't seem to like anyone other than Rhodes riding it.
Rhodes stroked its mane to calm its emotions.
The Rainbow Bridge opened again in front of the two of them. Rhodes' legs were clamped tightly, and Tianma neighed. Perhaps it was excited that this was the first trip with Rhodes, and his wings flapped violently.
A shock wave visible to the naked eye was set off in the hall, and then the body shot into the Rainbow Bridge like a cannonball.
…
Athens, Greece.
In the bazaar with endless hawking, passers-by wore loose robes, and the yellow sand on the ground eroded the hanging corners, making the light-colored robes a bit primitive.
It is not long since the introduction of democracy here, and everyone is still immersed in the joy of having a lot of power after being a citizen.
Behind the pedestrians were scattered people in ragged clothes and scorched faces. They were bound by heavy black metal shackles on their feet, and they kept looking at the ground as they walked, not daring to look at the crowd.
Even with democratization, slavery was preserved here in order not to lose productivity.
Slaves, on the other hand, do not have the power of citizens, they can only be said to be tools and can be traded at will.
"Hey! It's a miracle!" Someone suddenly pointed to the sky.
In the vast white sky, a rainbow light seemed to tear a gap in the white sheepskin.
The rainbow light fell to the earth like a descending ladder.
Someone tried to touch it, thinking that they could use the ladder of rainbow light to climb up to the heavens, but they were in vain.
"Buzz!"
Three figures suddenly flew out from the crack and landed on the ground shrouded in rainbow light.
The citizens took a few steps back in horror, while the slaves were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.
When the rainbow light dissipated, Rhodes, Sig and their pegasus appeared in front of everyone.
They carefully looked at the bronze-colored armor on Rhodes' body, and saw the long spear in his hand, and they all left with their heads buried, trying to escape from the market quickly.
Rhodes looked around, and the peddlers looked up at him secretly one by one, and they would run away quickly whenever they caught sight of him, for fear of attracting Rhodes' attention.
Rhodes looked at the items he was selling. They were just tools such as hammers and sickles that were very rough. In this era, information and agriculture are underdeveloped, let alone industry.
The tools made by this handicraft industry are already very high-end commodities.
If there are a few sergeants wearing sharp helmets passing by on patrol, they are already considered the best security personnel in this market.
Seeger wanted to pick up a scythe curiously. He had never seen such a simple thing before, but he was a little concerned.
The peddler felt the eyes of the two, and said tremblingly, "Hello, I am a citizen of Athens."
Rhodes was wondering where to find it, because clairvoyance and farsightedness couldn't find Lau Fei after looking around, it seemed that the other party did have a way to hide himself.
As soon as he heard the word citizen, his thoughts suddenly gathered.
"This is a democratic city-state, right?" Rhodes asked.
"Yes~" The peddler suddenly raised his head, and the word "democracy" made his eyes flash with fanaticism.
Chapter 16: The Apocalypse Invades Greece
"Then as long as one bill is passed, all civic obligations will be implemented?" Rhodes asked.
The peddler lowered his hands on his hips and cowardly responded, "Yes, what are you asking for?"
Rhodes smiled mysteriously and didn't say much.
He knew that Athens was located in the central part of Greece. Since the army had been sent to search the four sides, the only place left to search was the central part.
When we arrived in Greece, it was naturally difficult to search effectively with only the strength of two people, and we needed to mobilize the strength of the locals in Athens.
In such a city-state where democracy has just been implemented, everyone is fanatical about the new system as loyal as their beliefs.
As long as they can convince their consul to let him help mobilize, all the citizens of Athens will immediately and willingly help search for Laufey for the sake of democracy.
"Who are you looking for?" Seeger asked.
"The Archon here, he can help us."
Sig pressed a small light blue square on his arm, and then a blue scanning light began to scan the Athenians indiscriminately.
On his arm, three-dimensional images of the Athenians appeared and began to rotate counterclockwise, recording their basic output.
"Asgard can query the data of these people in the atrium at will, and we can easily find the consul with this," Sig said.
Rhodes nodded, pointing to a group of buildings in the distance, "He should be over there, it's the political center."
So the two got on their horses and walked towards the buildings in their field of vision.
The buildings of this era cannot be said to stand in groups. Occasionally, some tall buildings can be seen, which are basically important political places.
The general dwellings have only one floor, and they are located in remote places. The central area of the city-state is more for the army, the government affairs council and so on.
Therefore, tall and magnificent buildings have also been built in the central area, and they have a unique style.
There is a row of stone pillars standing in front of the door, and the gate can only be seen after passing through the gaps between the stone pillars. The scene inside the door is very empty, except for the ceiling above the head, no complete wall can be seen.
Inside such a building, a man with a bushy beard almost covering his lips stood in front of a group of people.
A three-dimensional image of his reduced body appeared on Sig's arm, and basic information was recorded on the data panel next to him.
Phobas, 32 years old, is the current consul of Athens.
"That's him." Rhodes nodded, and immediately walked over with Sig.
Forbas noticed the two people dressed strangely, and the holy pegasus behind them made his eyes glaze over, and he couldn't return to his senses for a long time.
"I don't know what the two soldiers of Asgard need to go down to earth?" Forbas bowed his head to Rhodes very respectfully, and he put his hands on his chest to express his friendship.
"My name is Rhodes. I hope you people from Athens can help me find someone for me." Rhodes said bluntly.
Fubas cast his eyes on the people around him, and smiled bleakly, "My lord, please forgive us for being powerless."
As he spoke, he let out a deep sigh, turned around and circled around with his hands in front of him, as if introducing the circle of people behind him.
"We are here today to discuss the war with Egypt. We have lost a series of recent wars, and there is a plague in the country. To be honest, we are already unable to separate our hands."
Rhodes narrowed his eyes. According to history, there was indeed a conflict between Egypt and Greece at this time.
"Those guys in Egypt got the help of a self-proclaimed apocalypse, and summoned the plague to descend on the Greek people through evil means."
"Apocalypse?" Sig wondered.
"The new ruler of Egypt, he has strange soldiers under him, all of them are mighty, and the color of their skin is just like the evil spirits returning from hell, they must not be human beings." Forbas gritted his teeth, reluctantly Putting his head down, "They are very powerful."
"This is impossible!" Sig denied sharply: "The atrium is Asgard's territory. If there are other protoss interfering, we will naturally stop it."
Rhodes asked: "The apocalypse you are talking about, is it because some of his subordinates call themselves plague, while others call themselves war, famine and death?"
Fobas nodded again and again, "That's right! Our frontline fighters reported that some of them called themselves plague and war, but they didn't hear about famine and death."
Rhodes thought to himself, he knew that what those frontline soldiers saw were the original four apostles of the apocalypse.
They are called: Plague, War, Famine and Death.
According to Forbas's description, it seems that the opponent only dispatched two people into the battlefield.
The eyes of everyone in Athens fell on Rhodes, and then came to him one after another, kneeling down like a humble slave.
"If you can request asylum from the Asgardian gods, we will do our best to help you search for that person."
"But because of the constraints of the current war, we are also powerless. As long as the protoss of the Aspen family are willing to protect Athens, we will obey."
Sig glanced at Rhodes and shook his head, "I haven't heard of the new Protoss, the warrior named Apocalypse is probably fabricated."
Rhodes smiled and explained: "The original four apostles of Apocalypse are not protoss, but mutants. In the region of Egypt, a man named En Shaba Nur is Apocalypse and their leader."
When he heard that he was not a Protoss, Sig was still a little suspicious, but Rhodes' eyes told him that what he said was true.
The doubts in his heart were also dispelled, so he said, "follow your command.".
Chapter 17: Healing the Plague
Rhodes nodded to Forbas, agreeing to give the Athenians the asylum they needed.
"Thank you for your generosity beyond the gods of Mount Olympus." Fubas kowtowed repeatedly to Rhodes.
The latter couldn't help laughing in his heart. Although it was rumored that the Greeks' belief in the gods of Mount Olympus was as firm as a rock, in the face of the desire to survive, the belief turned into dust after all.
