Hilde looked at the sky.
In one hour the sun will set.
"Night limits Apollo's abilities."
"OK, all right."
"Then, Tomyris, I need you to do something."
"Please tell me."
Tomyris took a step forward.
"When night comes, I will take the initiative to go to Athens. There may be an ambush in the city, but I am not afraid. Brasidas, I, and Sophia will take care of each other. If we encounter Apollo, we can still fight back. And you, Tomyris, are very fast and good at hiding your breath. So, once we fight Apollo, what you have to do is to find Dione in a short time."
"……I see."
Tomyris knew that her mission was the most important.
Hilde and the others fought for their chances.
And I have to go and save people.
Hilde turned and looked at Brasidas.
"This time, it originally had nothing to do with you. I am very grateful that you can come to help us. So, if Apollo's strength exceeds our expectations and poses a great threat to us, you can retreat immediately and return to Amphipolis. After all, I don't want you to risk your life for something that is not your responsibility."
Hilde's words.
But it is not what it seems.
She said this to stimulate Brasidas's desire to win.
Sure enough, when Brasidas heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and looked a little unhappy: "Since I am willing to come here with you, I am ready to fight to the last moment. If Apollo is really an invincible existence, I will also try my best to take you away. Or are you a little scared now?"
"Hahahaha, that's not the case. I'm not scared yet."
Hilde heard Brasidas say this.
The last stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
Now, it's time to settle accounts with Apollo.
Soon, the sun slowly set in the west and night fell in Athens.
When the sky was already as dark as ink, Hilde began to act.
Tomyris was the fastest. She did not walk with Hilde, but chose to hide in Suenke. Then, she found an opportunity to move towards Athens. Hilde set out first, she walked alone towards Athens, with the purpose of using her own aura to attract Apollo and Cleon.
If only Creon shows up, it is possible that Apollo was not in Athens.
But if neither of them showed up.
Apollo must be hiding in the city.
That's what Hilde thought.
And in the city of Athens, in Cleon's mansion.
Apollo was sitting in his own seat, and the maids on both sides were kneeling on the ground, massaging his legs and fanning him. For a god, these were not necessary, but Apollo just liked the feeling of being served. Including Creon, who was now standing a few meters in front of Apollo, with his head down, looking very humble.
"Kryon."
Apollo smiled and said:
"People are coming."
"Is it Hilde?"
"Yes, it's Hilde's aura."
Apollo gently pushed away the maid next to him, then stood up and walked in front of Creon.
"I told you she would come."
"I lost the bet."
Cleon originally thought that a monarch like Hilde would not come to Athens in person to rescue a little girl like Dione. If Hilde had a little bit of brains, she would know that there might be an ambush by Apollo in Athens, and it would be a foolish thing for an oracle to face a god like Apollo. But now... Hilde is here.
However, Apollo did not set a trap.
For Apollo.
Dealing with a Hilde is simply an easy task.
"Now, it's time to catch Hilde."
"Lord Apollo, I..."
"You are no longer needed. You should stay in Athens. Hilde is cunning and I am afraid she has other plans."
After Apollo said this, he disappeared from the mansion.
This made Cleon a little overwhelmed.
For some reason, Cleon sensed something was wrong from Apollo's tone. Apollo did act arrogant when facing Hilde, but just now, Cleon smelled a strange feeling from Apollo, and that feeling made Cleon feel very familiar.
Apollo was afraid.
Yes, definitely scared.
Although it may have been only a moment, Kryon felt it.
The God of Light was actually a little afraid of Hilde.
Creon was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and put aside the thoughts in his mind. After Apollo left, Creon immediately went upstairs and came to the room where Diony was. He stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to open the door and walked in.
At this time, Diony fell on the bed, looking pale, as if she had a serious illness. Her body was shaking uncontrollably, and even Cleon would be scared when he saw this scene.
"Dione."
Cleon walked up to Dione.
"Hilde is here indeed."
"Sissi...sister?"
Dione looked up weakly.
"Why... is she coming?"
The two faced off in the fourth quarter of the third tune
"Of course it's to save you."
Cleon shook his head helplessly.
"As the queen of the Byzantine Kingdom, you came here at great risk of your life just to save you, who is of no value to the Byzantine Kingdom. I really don't know whether this behavior is extremely brave or irresponsible and reckless. But you should be very clear that the enemy Hilde will face next is Apollo."
"She really came..."
Dione doesn't think so.
For Dione...she believed that Hilde would definitely not be a reckless person. If Hilde really came to save her, it would mean that she had found a way to deal with Apollo. So even if it was an extremely terrifying god, Dione felt that Hilde would definitely be able to defeat Apollo.
"Aren't you worried?"
Cleon looked at Dione's face.
"Hilde is facing Apollo."
"Sister Sissi...will never do anything without any certainty...so Sister Sissi is here. She must have found a way to deal with Apollo, so I believe in her."
"How stupid."
Cleon shook his head helplessly.
"Even if you are an oracle, how can you fight against God?"
"In the past, in my mind... Gods were indeed great and invincible. They were noble beings that mortals like me could not look up to. But later, I gradually realized that Gods were so similar to us mortals, as if they were exactly the same. People all have weaknesses and ways to deal with them, so doesn't that mean that Gods are the same as us? They must have weaknesses that we don't know about."
Dione took a deep breath and said to Cleon in front of her:
"When those high and mighty gods wantonly trample on the precious things we own, can't we resist? Can we only tremble in fear before them?"
Regarding what Dione said.
Cleon just smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"But in history, all those who were enemies of the gods ended up in a miserable end. Those city-states or tribes that offended the gods were also punished by the gods and paid an extremely heavy price. Because of this, our ancestors paid the price of their own blood to tell us that the gods must not be disobeyed. Even if the gods want our lives, we can only give them our lives."
"...That's it."
Dioni felt that she didn't need to say anything more.
There's no point in saying anything.
"Then let's wait and see."
"Well, I hope that Hilde, who came to save you, can escape unscathed in the end. This is probably the best outcome."
Cleon simply didn't believe that Hilde would eventually defeat Apollo. In his opinion, this was just something that would only appear in third-rate dramas. When ordinary audiences saw such a plot, they would think that the person who wrote the drama must have something wrong with his brain. Even if it was an oracle or even a demigod who wanted to defeat a god, it was extremely bold in epics and myths.
What's more, the enemy Hilde faced was Apollo, one of the twelve Olympian gods, and Athens was Apollo's base camp.
Isn't this just seeking death?
Cleon turned and left Dione's room.
But he had a small hope.
He hopes Hilde can really beat Apollo.
Although from a political point of view, if Hilde really defeated Apollo, it would be a bad thing for Athens, and it would not be a good thing at all. However, Cleon was also a human being, and Athens suffered huge losses because of Apollo's willfulness. He saw with his own eyes that human life was so worthless in the eyes of the gods. Humans might still pity ants and not want to step on them when walking, but this was not the case for Apollo. If crushing an ant could bring him great happiness, he would definitely kill all the ants he could find. For humans, Apollo would definitely be the same. The image of the glorious and majestic Apollo had long collapsed in Cleon's heart.
If Hield can beat Apollo.
To some extent, it also proves that human beings are not completely defenseless in the face of gods.
However, Creon did not believe that this would actually happen.
All of this can only be left to nature.
Hilde's escape was the best outcome Clion could imagine.
At this moment, outside the city of Athens.
Hilde held a shield in her left hand and a spear in her right hand, looking at the Athenian wall in front of her with a stern expression. There was still a glimmer of light in the sky, and the sun had not completely set. The afterglow of the sunset made the sky look like a blazing flame. The same fiery red light shone on Hilde's body, making her body seem to be covered with a layer of flames.
The soldiers on the city wall were also happily discussing Hilde below the city wall. Many soldiers actually recognized her. After all, Hilde had the iconic features of a beautiful silver-haired girl. In their impression, only Hilde, the daughter of Pericles, had such features.
They also didn't know what Hilde was doing here.
However, rumors say that Hilde is an oracle.
Could it be that Hilde is coming to attack Athens?
Just when everyone was thinking this.
Suddenly, a loud voice like thunder came from the sky.
"You are indeed here!"
The soldiers raised their heads and saw a golden light flashing through the city and appearing above Athens. The overwhelming pressure made the soldiers bow their heads and many of them knelt on the ground.
After all, this is the true God.
The true God has come to earth!
"Should I praise your courage or ridicule your stupidity?"
"As the god of light, you should bring light and hope to mankind, but you did such a despicable thing for your own selfish desires! Apollo, although I am just a mortal, when I am insulted like this, I must fight back against you!!!"
Hilde raised the spear in her hand.
Aimed at Apollo in front of him.
"Give Dione back to me!"
"Dione? Why should I return her to you? She is my daughter. You snatched the daughter of God away. Now, I take her back personally, and you still want to ask me for it?" Apollo sneered and landed gently in front of Hilde. "It would be better if you kneel down and beg me to give you a chance, then I can spare you and your family..."
The True Purpose of Apollo
Facing Apollo's words.
