Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 541 542. Cave Expedition

When Cassandra regained her armor and weapons from Phoebe, she walked out of the courtyard where Pericles held the banquet.

Lan En, who had taken off his Athenian robe and put on the Bear School's master-level armor again, was already leaning against the marble pillar at the door of the house.

"I have to say, I still like your look more pleasing to the eye."

Cassandra rubbed her wrist, smiled, walked towards Lan En, and hammered Lan En's arm with the back of her steel-wrapped hand.

Lan En smiled and nodded.

"Because we are used to being in battles. Why do you keep rubbing your wrist? Are you injured?"

The corners of Cassandra's mouth twitched, and the smile froze on her face.

"Fubai just approached me quietly from the roof, and then..."

"Ah~" Lan En showed an expression of 'I understand'. "She hurt your hand?"

"Don't be discouraged. Children will always grow up in one go when adults don't pay attention."

Cassandra's face fell.

"No, I beat her up before she could hold my hand, and now she's probably squatting inside holding her head and crying."

Lan En pursed his lips and suppressed the smile on his lips.

".Then you are more powerful. I didn't realize that you are still getting stronger at such a fast speed."

"It's like you are still growing taller. You can become stronger through battles, aren't all warriors like this?"

Cassandra spread her hands.

Lan Enze thought to himself, "You seem to have a misunderstanding of the 'warrior' profession."

Aren't there a lot of warriors who can never defeat a pack of wolves alone?

"Speaking of which, why do you seem to be in a hurry to leave as soon as Aspasia comes over? Why, you don't get along with her?"

When saying this, Cassandra seemed to turn her face inadvertently, only looking at Lan En's face with her peripheral vision.

"It's not about dealing with her or not. I just feel a little bad for some reason. As you know, they play politics with too many twists and turns. Although she is also very beautiful, she still feels comfortable being with you."

After listening to Lan En's words, Cassandra couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth for a while, almost whistling.

But fortunately, as Lan En moved, the chilling sound of the scabbard on her waist colliding with the armor diluted Cassandra's good mood.

Both of them recovered their mood and state in a very short period of time.

A mature warrior can quickly get into a battle-ready state of mind.

"correct."

The two of them were walking towards the outside of Athens. There were only a few scattered fire pots on the streets for lighting, and the petals scattered on the marble were trampled to pieces by people.

Lann looked at the greaves and leather sandals on Cassandra's feet and called to her.

"I found a member of the cult in Athens some time ago. After killing him, I got something. Do you think you can use it? I can't use it anyway."

With that said, Lann took out the pair of women's greaves that were removed from Brisson's legs from the alchemy leather bag.

Cassandra's eyes widened as soon as the brass-textured greaves appeared in front of her.

"This is..." Kassandra said in surprise after taking it and looking at it carefully. "This is the Amazon Greaves! The armor parts from the legendary kingdom of female warriors!"

"you know?"

"Children of Sparta know most of the famous armors in the world! I didn't expect to see it here. Legend has it that it allows female warriors to face off and compete with those legendary male heroes!"

Cassandra was not pretentious, she directly put on these greaves.

The brass-textured greaves emit golden particle light the moment the buckle is closed, and the visual effect is much stronger than that on Brisson.

But Cassandra's expression gradually became serious after the initial excitement.

"The Cult of Kosmos actually equips every member with an artifact of this level. How powerful are they in the Greek world?"

"No matter how powerful they are," Lan looked down at Cassandra's downcast face calmly.

"We have already killed two, and we will kill another one tonight. And you probably won't hold them accountable for what they did to your family just because they have great powers, right?"

Cassandra closed her eyes, then opened them again a moment later. And all hesitation has been eliminated from that look.

"Yes, you're right, Lan."

"No matter who they are, whether they are powerful or heroic, I will kill them all!"

——

Attica is beautiful at night.

The moon is bright and huge, and the stars also shine, supplementing the light in the wild.

Because of its relationship with Athens, this land should be an area with a high degree of human development in the Greek world.

So there weren't a lot of woods and beasts, just shrubs and vegetation and lichens and stuff like that.

The various caves where Ares believers hide are scattered across this land.

"Those Ares believers are not difficult to find. Harpalos gathered almost all the manpower he could mobilize when he came here. Such a large crowd cannot hide their traces at all."

Kassandra and Lan were walking on the exposed rock. The demon hunter, who had already dealt with Ares believers a lot, was introducing the situation to the falconer.

"However, these Ares believers are now completely crazy, and they have not even thought about covering up their traces. They are eager for someone or a small army to enter the cave so that they can fight to please the God of War."

"So I can only kill each cave one by one to find out whether Harpalos is inside. This is the so-called 'cave expedition' you heard."

"Are the followers of Ares crazy now?" Cassandra asked in disbelief.

"I have encountered them before, but they will still escape and move. What now?"

Lan En shook his head and continued to explain.

"Harpalos claimed on the clue that his devotion to Ares was responded to, and his followers seemed to believe it. So you can say that this group of Ares believers are crazy, and you are right. .”

"Is this also the basis for you to say that Harpalos is no longer 'less than human'? Did he really get the gift of Ares, that cruel god?"

Kassandra keenly recalled Lan En's previous warning.

"This is ridiculous!"

"It's ridiculous, because what Harpalos received was not divine grace, but the power from my hometown."

The two of them had reached the top of this rocky mountain, and a large plain of Attica lay in front of them under the moonlight.

The rocks here have been bleached white by the Mediterranean sun.

"That's what you said before, you don't rely on artifacts to fight, right? Then I want to see it this time."

Cassandra raised her eyebrows, and an eagle's cry came from the sky.

"I found the entrance to the cave. There are nine people 1, 2, and 3. No, the cave is very deep. Icarus's perception cannot penetrate all of it. I only found some people close to the surface."

"It's enough." Lan En didn't seem to be moved by this, and just continued to ask calmly, "Do you feel the difference between these nine people?"

"It's different. They seem to be stronger than ordinary people, but... they're a little weird. I can't tell."

Kassandra's vague description seemed to be what the witcher expected, and he nodded.

"It's okay, Cassandra."

“When you meet them, you’ll know what makes you feel ‘weird’.”
