Chapter 22: The Expedition Departs
Chu Hao's purpose was achieved, and he rescued the protagonist from the cell. The protagonist of this reincarnation world, Perseus, Zeus and a human queen, was also the most important figure in the Battle of the Gods One and Two Miles!
However, Perseus is ordinary now and has no extraordinary power. He is just a child raised by a fisherman. In comparison, any soldiers selected by Chu Hao are better than him. Yes, even the three most elite soldiers he brought with him... because he chose soldiers who have understood the fighting spirit.
This world of war between gods is obviously a world where the middle demons and even the high demons are close to the high demons. Not only are there gods, but there are also various monsters with special power. Similarly, among humans, there are also humans like sages who have learned the power of magic by themselves. Of course, the number of sages is too small and too few, and they are persecuted by the gods. Relatively speaking, the only thing that humans can compete with those monsters is another extraordinary power that is tolerated by the gods and fighting spirit.
This is the power that humans, or intelligent living bodies may understand. It is not right to say that they are comprehension. In fact, this is a kind of instinct of a creature, which is to naturally absorb spiritual energy and then strengthen their own body. Generally speaking, people with low demon planes have better physical fitness than those of the demon-free plane, while the middle demon plane is better. It is manifested in the outside world. From the low demon plane, some people will produce extraordinary power due to this accumulation, which is fighting energy. Basically, this kind of power will exist from most low demon planes.
Chu Hao chose such soldiers, but it is obvious that there are very few soldiers with fighting spirit, and they are basically in the middle and high-level positions, and many of them are already nobles. Naturally, these nobles are unwilling to join the life-threatening team of the Expeditionary Army, and even the king cannot force them to participate. So in the end, Chu Hao only selected nine soldiers with fighting spirit. In fact, until now, he and Zhang Heng also understood why in the original plot, there were only so few people accompanying the protagonist to go on the expedition. Logically speaking, this concerns the entire city, and the expedition of his daughter. No matter how idiotic or stingy the king is, he will definitely organize an army instead of such a team. But if the soldiers are replaced by the owner of the fighting spirit, then things can make sense...
However, at this time, Chu Hao encountered another problem, that is, the protagonist, Perseus, was not willing to participate in the expeditionary force, nor was he willing to leave the prison. He was now in a state of dying heart, sitting in the prison blankly, no matter what you say, or even how you torture him, he was in such a state.
So when Chu Hao received such a report from the soldiers in the cell, he went to the prison in person. After a moment, Perseus, with red eyes, got out of the prison, and then he began to be fully armed, without the feeling of being depressed before, but seemed to be about to kill someone.
"What did you say to him?"
More than one person asked Chu Hao curiously, but Chu Hao all put on the mysterious and reserved expression of a sage. He only said to Zhang Heng and the three soldiers: "It's very simple. A person's heart is lost, but because he has no goal. If he gives his goal, he will naturally survive. For him, how about the goal of revenge on the God of the Underworld? I told him that if he followed his side, he could completely kill the God of the Underworld. Do you think he would still want to die now?"
Zhang Heng and others nodded in a clear way. In fact, they knew the plot and thought that Chu Hao would say so.
On the other hand, the whole city is aware of the composition and departure of the Expeditionary Force, but the current situation is much better than in the plot, because the departure of the Expeditionary Force is an impossible task. In this world with true gods, God's ruling is the inevitable trajectory of everything. God said that if this city is not sacrificed for the princess, it will inevitably be destroyed, and then the city will definitely be destroyed. If the princess is not sacrificed for... Whether in mythology or in epics, there is basically no possibility of escaping the ruling of the gods, except for the sage...
The image of the sage in legend appeared to complete those incredible tasks. In all the mythological epics about the sage, the sage appeared and existed after completing these and other incredible tasks. There were even some rumors that the sage helped the gods to quell the Titan Rebellion. Therefore, the expedition that was originally considered by the people was a farce, but after the participation and joining of the sage, it gave the people a hope. Although this hope was not great, it was much better than the complete despair in the original plot.
Because of this, when the Expeditionary Force began to set off, the people did not stop them. Instead, they took out some food and wine they had treasured, and even people who had understood the fighting spirit and joined the team one after another. In addition to the two hunter brothers in the original plot, this time there was a blacksmith, a retired veteran, and a thick and short stonemason who seemed to be a dwarf. They all had fighting spirit, and this was the people who joined the Expeditionary Force.
On the other hand, Chu Hao, who led the team, found the king again before leaving, and then told the king that he had a group of followers, who were waiting in the dark according to his orders. When a crisis hit the city and he had not returned yet, the army would temporarily protect the city. Of course, this army was trained by him and used weapons he made for the army, so it seemed a little different from the army of this city. At that time, I hope the king would restrain the people and soldiers and not have any conflicts between the two sides.
The king and the nobles naturally nodded in surprise. In their imagination, there may not be many people in this group, but they are probably elites and fighting spirit. They are enough to protect them at critical moments. However, they do not expect that their imagination is completely different from what Chu Hao wants to express. Chu Hao does not care about the life or death of these kings and nobles at all. He only cares about this city because according to his guess, he wants to complete the real task of the Lord God... It is estimated that humans in this world, and a large number of humans in this world...
In any case, the Expeditionary Force set out, with the hope of the entire city and Chu Hao's heart-wrenching plan, and the first stop was to head towards the desert. On this road, his plan could be implemented.
"Sir, don't know where our destination is?"
Half a day after the team set out, as dusk approached, the team was preparing to build a camp on the edge of a small jungle, the leader of the soldier, a strong middle-aged man with a vicious appearance, asked Chu Hao respectfully.
Chu Hao sat on a dead tree trunk with his eyes closed. He smiled and said, "We must first find the Styx Witch. They know many secrets, including the secret to killing the Siren. They can also see the future of human beings, but they often tell lies to people. Our first stop is to go to the place where the Styx Witch is."
The captain and the two soldiers behind him were all full of surprise. The captain immediately said, "But Lord Sage, it is said that no one can go to the place where the Witch of the Styx..."
"Yes, no one." Chu Hao still smiled, pointed at himself with one hand, then pointed at Perseus, who was catching fish in a stream in the distance, and then there was no other words.
The captain was a little surprised, but his expression seemed to be a little disdainful of Perseus, but he did not say much, but led the soldiers to continue building the camp. At the same time, Chu Hao closed his eyes and in the thinnest mage hand field that had been spreading, he felt a young woman sitting quietly in the distance hidden spot. It looked like that, it should be another half-human and half-god Ai O in the plot of the movie.
But Ai O is not his target. As long as she does not pose any threat to the expedition, he will not care. His real target is only one... Gods!
If he can't even see the gods, how should he unite the gods to balance the Zhongzhou team?
Besides, he also wanted to know many things about the gods in this world. After all, the path he chose was the way of divine. Everything that light knew from the divine nature was too fragmented, so it would be better to get informed by the real god. Of course, this is just a coincidence. If you can't survive the arrival of the Zhongzhou team, then everything will be stopped...
