Greece brings evildoers

Chapter 135 We have a traitor in our midst (3.4k)

"What do you want to do? Why don't you tell me first?"

Just as Lorne and King Minos secretly reached a certain consensus, a snow-white owl swooped from the sky, flew dexterously into the hall, and transformed into the figure of the goddess of wisdom.

Judging from the gloomy expression in her eyes, this trip to Olympus for help was probably in vain.

Otherwise, this arrogant goddess who claims to be unparalleled in resourcefulness would not take the initiative to ask Lorne in front of her for advice after hearing only a few words.

To this, Lorne did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Athena and asked meaningfully.

"First of all, let me ask a question: Why do we have to stay in Crete?"

Athena frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she answered seriously.

"Because this is the foundation of the Minoans and my most important territory."

"Then can you hold on?"

Lorne looked directly into Athena's bright eyes and asked a somewhat heartbreaking question in front of King Minos.

The goddess of wisdom was silent for a long time, and finally her eyes dimmed, she shook her head and let out a long sigh.

"cannot……"

Now that the situation in Crete has deteriorated to the point of no return, the Minoans faced not only the overlord and his army on the Ocean of Oceanus, but also the overlord on Mount Olympus. A partial father-god.

Even though Athena boasts of infinite wisdom, it is difficult to reverse the overall situation without chess pieces available.

Although she is as arrogant as she is and doesn't want to admit this result, the fact is the fact and is indisputable. She couldn't hide it from the little guy in front of her who was almost as smart as her.

At this moment, having received the exact answer, Lorne spoke leisurely.

"If you can't hold on, why don't you take a step back?"

"You want me to escape?"

In an instant, Athena was irritated, and a fierce aura erupted in her bright eyes.

She is the military god in charge of victory. No matter what kind of powerful enemy she faces, she has never been timid to escape.

"No, no, I said 'retreat', not 'escape'. This is different."

Lorne waved his hand and reiterated seriously.

Athena sneered at this, her bright eyes twinkling.

"Stop playing word games with me. If you can withdraw from the coastal defense line today, you can withdraw from the city of Knossos tomorrow, and then you can withdraw from the island of Crete. Once we are defeated, the sea gods will be able to press forward immediately, and in Asia Under the strong pressure of the Atlanteans, the Minoans were unable to regain their lost territory. What is this called a strategic shift? "

There are two types of retreat: orderly retreat is called preservation of vitality, and strategic transfer. A disorderly retreat is called a rout, or a rout.

Athena, as the god of war, is naturally very familiar with these.

Seeing that the strong-natured Athena was so disgusted with this topic, Lorne had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender and asked in a different way.

"Okay, okay, let's change the topic. If Poseidon captures Crete, what will be his next step?"

"Using Crete as a springboard to conquer the Greek cities and erode the divine power of the earth."

"Then what?"

"Gather your strength and prepare to seize the supreme throne of Olympus."

Athena answered without thinking. She had already deduced these possibilities countless times in her mind.

Lorne nodded and continued to ask.

"Then do you think His Majesty the God King will give him this opportunity?"

"Won't!"

Athena shook her head without hesitation and gave the most likely analysis based on her understanding of the Father God.

"He will be the first to nip the danger in the bud!"

When Lorne heard this answer, a smile appeared on his face.

"Then, it's obvious. Poseidon's ultimate goal is to get his hands on the Supreme God's Seat in Olympus, and the God King's goal is to eradicate all unstable factors that endanger his rule. This place seems to have nothing to do with us. Relationship? If that’s the case, why can’t we take a step back?”

Suddenly, Athena's bright eyes lit up, and her face couldn't help but look thoughtful.

"You mean..."

"Vacate the space and let them play against each other!"

At this moment, Luo En Tuqiong saw it, with a sinister look in his eyes.

"You want to bring Father God down and let him deal with my uncle?"

Athena was immediately moved, but then she thought about it seriously and shook her head.

"You think too simply. Father God will not end so easily."

"not necessarily!"

Lorne smiled nonchalantly and raised the corners of his lips happily.

"As long as Crete loses badly enough and Atlantis is strong enough, do you think His Majesty the God King can sit still?"

"..."

Athena frowned, with complicated thoughts in her mind, but she didn't speak for a long time.

Lorne still didn't care and continued to ask.

"As long as Crete is wiped out without any effort, this nail is pulled out, and the gateway from the Oceanus Sea to the mainland is opened, the divine power of the ocean will be stronger than ever, even if half of the father is lost. Well, Poseidon may not have the ability to get his hands on that throne, so do you think that His Majesty the God King will wait until that moment?"

"Won't!"

This time, Athena's answer was firm and clear. She thought of her devoured mother goddess in her mind, and with a deep coldness in her bright eyes, she gave the same answer as before.

"He will nip all danger in the cradle!"

"Moreover, I would rather kill the wrong person than let him go..."

Lorne added with a sneer, thinking of the thunder in the sky that night and the other "self" who died just after birth.

At this moment, Athena already understood Lorne's true intention.

"So, you want me to give up Crete and give in?"

"Not only must we retreat, but we must retreat tragically!"

As he spoke, a deep sarcasm appeared on Lorne's face.

"Since His Majesty the God King wants to use Poseidon's hand to weaken your power, then let him do as he wishes. We will lose completely and give the stage of confrontation to these two brothers. "

"Father God is not that easy to deceive..." Athena still had some doubts about the feasibility of the plan.

Lorne sighed and his voice lowered: "So, we need a real defeat, and we also need a discarded piece of sufficient weight."

Athena pursed her lips, her expression also a little gloomy.

"The weight is so heavy... that no one will doubt the authenticity of this fiasco..."

At the same time, four eyes looked at the old man on the field, showing complicated expressions.

"So this is what you want to give half of my life for?" With the almost explicit answer, King Minos immediately understood his true purpose, and then burst into a hearty laugh, "Can you pull two gods away at once?" In the end, the deal was worth it!”

"more than!"

Seeing the old man's decisive attitude, Lorne couldn't help but open his mouth to add, telling the secret he knew.

"In recent years, I heard that His Majesty the God King has been trying to locate Atlantis. After all, those are the old humans who survived the great flood. With them here, how can His Majesty the God King sleep peacefully? So? , I suspect that this game is not only to weaken Crete, but also to give His Majesty the God King a reason to attack Atlantis openly!"

Then, Lorne paused, a cold color flashing in his eyes.

"In other words, the better and stronger Poseidon and his Atlantis army perform, the closer they will be to destruction!"

If I remember correctly, in mythology, the destruction of Atlantis was because the God King Zeus believed that the Atlanteans were too arrogant, did not worship the gods, and even wanted to rule the world, so he launched a war An earthquake sank the entire continent of Atlantis.

What is even more unfortunate is that the sinking of Atlantis and the decline of the Minoan civilization occurred very close to each other.

Who doesn’t know how to enforce fishing laws?

At this time, after hearing Lorne's guarantee, King Minos, who had endured humiliation for most of his life and wanted to make Poseidon fall in his hands, couldn't help but smile and feel extremely happy.

"Okay, okay! If you trade me for three of them, you'll make even more money!"

But when she heard that breaking through the current predicament required such a heavy price, Athena couldn't bear it.

"But these are the roots of the Minoans..."

King Minos waved his hand, seeming to be more free and easy after investigating life and death.

"Under the Goddess Temple, we come from dust, and we will eventually return to dust. As long as there is a place to stay, anywhere can become our roots. Humans are not as fragile as you think. There is water, food, and a place to stay. , we can live.

The city can be rebuilt when it is gone, and the sacred fire can be rekindled when it is extinguished. As long as people are still there and after several generations of development, we may not be unable to recreate the glory of Crete.

And by then, in the new land, statues of gods will still be cast for you and the fire of faith will be ignited! "

Looking at the frail and rickety body, making this pious and sincere promise, Athena, the great mother goddess of the Minoans, couldn't help but be moved by it.

Immediately, King Minos turned to look at the successor he personally selected, and his eyes turned serious.

"I will cooperate with you unconditionally, but I also have two requirements."

"Say." Lorne pricked up his ears and listened respectfully.

"First, my people are innocent and should not rot at the bottom of the sea because of my desire for revenge, and new fire needs to be spread by them..."

"Don't worry, I have everything planned. Before that, I will try my best to transfer Crete's active forces out in batches."

Hearing Lorne's confident answer, King Minos looked even more pleased.

"Second, the glory of Crete was created with my own hands. Even if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed in my hands! Poseidon wants to conquer Crete and the Minoans. It is absolutely impossible! I want to Even if he sets foot on this land, he will get nothing except... my body!"

"This is nature! No one can take away the splendor of Crete from you, not even the gods!"

Lorne agreed again without hesitation. These were all issues he had already considered.

Unfortunately, he, like King Minos, hated the King of the Sea.

Since they were all forced to cut off a strong man's wrist, how could he let Poseidon, the instigator, get even half a cent?

Athena, who had been standing aside in silence for a long time, finally couldn't help but remind her after hearing this.

"Are you a little too confident? Do you really think that your small tricks in private can escape the perception of the gods? If you just self-destruct, they will definitely find out the clues of the trap..."

"Indeed, there is a difference between divinity and divinity. It is not the work of the Ocean Gods themselves, and it can easily arouse suspicion."

Lorne nodded in agreement, but then spread his palms, a pleasant smile appearing on his face.

"But what if you add this?"

In an instant, a blue light appeared on his hand, illuminating the entire palace hall, as gentle as water and as deep as the sea.

The divinity of the ocean!

Moreover, it is extremely pure and very close to the ocean divinity of Poseidon!

For a moment, Athena and King Minos on the field looked at each other with shock, and even looked at Lorne with a slightly strange look.

Could it be that there is a traitor among us?
