Greece brings evildoers

In the courtyard.

Lorne watched Helen, whose body and mind were purified, dragged Medea, who looked resentful, into the house, and then declined the invitation of his big-breasted brother Katniss to sleep together on the pretext of cleaning up the dishes.

Seeing the doors of the two bedrooms closed and the fluorite lighting the house extinguished, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After being busy inside and outside for so long, he just wanted to have some quiet time.

After spending some time to clean up the yard and dishes, Lorne confirmed that the three people inside were completely asleep, and then he stretched his body comfortably, ready to go into the house to enjoy his own leisure time.

However, as soon as he took a step, there was a low knock on the door behind him.

Lorne turned around and opened the door helplessly. The tall Amazon queen with long scarlet hair stood quietly outside the door.

"Hippolyta? What are you doing here so late?"

"The defense line has been rebuilt, and the task you asked me to assist the Thessalians in the defense has come to an end. Since there is no other task, as a follower, of course I have to return to my master's side and protect his safety."

Hippolyta said, tied up her chestnut warhorse, walked into the yard, and spread a fur blanket on the ground as her bed.

Afterwards, she buried her head in engraving warning and defense spells around her, and set up several simple traps, completely like a professional bodyguard.

Obviously, Hippolyta was not just talking about being a follower.

Lorn saw this and waved his hand with a bit of a smile.

"No need, you have been running around for me during this period, and let the Amazons help Thessaly safely through the dangerous period, which has already helped me a lot. We are even on the last matter."

Hippolyta heard this and looked at the man in front of her with some surprise.

"Are you sure?"

"Too little? That's just right, I'll add another condition."

Lorne thought for a moment and smiled.

"Well, I hope you can restrain your tribe and stop plundering the population of the Greek states, so that the Amazons and Greeks can get along with each other in a friendly manner."

"I hope so too..."

Hippolyta heard the goodwill released by Lorne, but looked embarrassed.

"But the continuation of the Amazon tribe requires seedlings. If we can't bring back enough men on the annual birth day, our population will continue to decline. By then, the Amazon tribe..."

"Then how many percent has the number of Amazon warriors who have been plundering men increased over the years?"

Lorne interrupted the other party and asked leisurely.

"This..." Hippolyta's breathing stagnated, thinking of the current situation of the tribe, her eyes were blank.

Obviously, through this way of reproduction, the number of Amazon female warriors has not increased much. Even in the repeated plundering, the Amazon tribe and the Greek states became enemies, the sisters were constantly killed and injured, and the number of the tribe did not increase but decreased.

Lorne saw Hippolyta's reaction and understood.

"Is this the reason you abandoned your faith in the god of war and chose to serve Artemis?"

Hippolyta hesitated for a moment and nodded helplessly.

The Amazons converted to Christianity not only because their father Ares lost the war of gods, but also to save the declining birth rate of the tribe.

As we all know, Artemis is not only the goddess of hunting and the moon, but also has the power of pregnancy, childbirth, and infant protection.

Sure enough, the brainless idea of ​​robbing men for breeding was proposed by Ares...

Lorne complained in his heart and looked at the Amazon Queen who was still confused.

"If you want to protect the birth rate, why do you have to rob? Why don't you just borrow the seeds openly?"

"?"

Seeing that Hippolyta was still confused, Lorne simply told her everything he was thinking.

In the courtyard, which was fully illuminated by the bright moon, Hippolyta listened to the advice of the handsome god-descendant, her eyes sparkling, her surprise and excitement evident.

Lorne's method was simple and easy to understand.

Simply put, the Amazons could relax restrictions during the annual [Birth Day] and invite men from the Greek world to go to Amazon to pair up with women of the right age.

If the Amazons wanted to ensure the quality of men, they could set up several obstacles to test their strength, wisdom and bloodline during the process of entering the tribe, so that they could select the perfect seedlings.

If the target is a noble person like the Amazon Queen, who has many suitors, then after the audition, the Greek heroes who came could continue to compete with each other on the stage to select a certain number of winners, who would be selected by the parties themselves.

If the children born are girls, of course they should stay in Amazon to supplement the population. If they are boys, there is no need to kill them all, and they can be handed over to the father to raise.

In this way, the Amazon tribe not only does not need to continue to be hostile to the Greek states because of plundering men, but can also use this method as a bond to win more allies for the Amazon.

"Let the men fight like animals for women, and the conditions are so harsh, are they really willing to come?"

However, although Hippolyta was shocked by the man's innovative thinking that broke the rules and customs, she was still a little uncertain about the actual effect.

Lorne rolled his eyes at Hippolyta who raised the question and responded unhappily.

"For thousands of years, from beasts to humans, from humans to gods, reproduction has been the top priority. Males fighting each other for mates has long become the norm. You don't know what ridiculous things the Greek heroes would do for the right to mate.

Don't you want to come? Haha, as long as Amazon promotes well, you are still worried about whether the Amazon tribe's place is big enough."

Then, Loen paused and continued to add.

"As for why some conditions are added for selection. Because things that are too easy to get are often not easy for humans to cherish. With gimmicks, it seems unattainable, and those heroes will flock to it and be proud to enter Amazon and compete to become seedlings."

In Greek mythology, conquering Amazon women is a dangerous dream that every Greek hero has had.

Because killing and sex have always been the two most stimulating elements of male hormones, and they are also ways for men to show off their strength and show off their strength.

Defeating the same sex through fighting and competition, pressing beautiful and dangerous women under you, and enjoying honors, this is a temptation that cannot be refused for men, especially heroes who are naturally restless.

As long as the Amazons follow their own methods, release restrictions and prejudices, and issue a call for Greek men of the right age.

After all, as descendants of gods, the Amazon female warriors who participate in breeding will not be too bad in appearance, and they also have the unique style of the fighting race.

When the group of lustful wolves in Greece heard this news, they would definitely go to the Amazon tribe to sleep with women and breed.

See, it was originally a mutually beneficial and win-win thing, but after the brain-twitch operation of Ares, the idiot, the Amazon tribe and the Greek states were successfully made hostile, and they were almost extinct in the future.

Tsk tsk, the world laughs when the god of war thinks.

At this time, Hippolyta did not notice that someone was teasing her old father in her heart, but was quite tempted by these fantastic proposals.

The Amazon tribe is currently troubled by the low fertility rate, so they chose to send elite troops to rescue Thessaly and ease relations with the Greeks.

But this is ultimately a temporary solution. If she can solve the Amazon people's predicament in a more stable way, she is certainly willing to try.

Hippolyta took out a few pieces of parchment from the magic circle diagram and continued to ask the wise man in front of her about some confusion and related details.

"What if the Amazon's defense is known by those foreign men?"

"Simple, you can move the location of the [Birth Day] to a fixed island, there are many such deserted islands in the Oceanus Sea. As for transportation, you can use ships to transport Amazon's female warriors of appropriate age, and wait for the Greek men to come to challenge on a fixed date. Besides, those who don't have some ability and luck will have been fed to the sirens on the way."

"Luck?"

"Haven't you heard of it? Luck is also a kind of strength."

"Oh, what if there are too many baby boys? It's too troublesome to send them one by one."

"You can send them to a fixed island after they are born nine to ten months and hand them over to their fathers. In addition, if you want to have a girl, find a way to configure some effective magic potions. You still ask me about this."

Looking at Hippolyta, who was like a curious student, holding parchment and asking and recording, Lorne patiently explained one by one.

The doubts still exist, and Hippolyta continues to ask for advice.

"Also, what if there are too few pregnant women during the birthing days?"

"How long does your birthing days last?"

"Three days?"

"Too short! Extend it to about ten days. Women who come to the island to wait for reproduction should preferably look for those who are about 14 to 16 days before their menstrual period. During these ten days, their chances of pregnancy are the highest."

"Menstrual period?"

"It's when you have stomach pain every month and the vagina for childbirth has regular bleeding."

Looking at the bewildered Amazon Queen, Loen felt that he was still too optimistic. If he wanted to truly implement this system and increase the population of the Amazons, he might have to teach them some sustainable development and physiological hygiene lessons first.

However, this matter can be handed over to Artemis to implement, just in time to expand her conservation theocracy inherited from her mother Leto and consolidate the status of his girlfriend among the Amazons.

"Okay, Your Majesty, I will compile the feasibility plan into a document in a while and give it to you. If you have any questions, you can ask Lady Artemis for instructions."

At this point, Lorne paused and calmed down Hippolyta, who was a little too excited.

"Of course, it's better to wait until the matter of Thessaly is over, and you return to the tribe and try it slowly."

Hippolyta nodded repeatedly, then bowed slightly, pounded her chest with her right fist, and thanked the wise man respectfully and solemnly.

"You are a tolerant opponent and a great wise man. Thank you for your guidance."

"You're welcome. We just get what we need. Are we even now?"

Hippolyta listened to the teasing in her ears and was a little dazed for a while.

As a loser, she didn't have to serve and fight for the winner, didn't have to sacrifice her appearance, and didn't have to spend money to redeem her freedom. Just running errands and maintaining the stability of Thessaly could offset the cost of failure, and even get more benefits from the winner on the opposite side.

This kind of failure is just like a dream.

"Okay, go back and tell your sisters that you are safe, so that they won't be so impulsive next time they encounter Greeks blocking their way. After all, other heroes of divine blood may not have such a good temper and strength as me."

Lorne smiled and waved his hand, half exhorting and half teasing.

Due to the martial and aggressive folk customs, and the custom of robbing high-quality men and bringing them back to the tribe for breeding, the Amazons do not have a good reputation in the Greek states.

After constant conflicts, once the Amazons and Greeks became captives and fell into each other's hands, they often had no good end.

This is also the reason why Hippolyta was surprised that she could get freedom so easily after her defeat.

In the past, the Amazon tribe believed in the god of war Ares, so Lorne naturally didn't need to be so polite.

But now his girlfriend Artemis has won the war of gods and won the faith of the Amazon tribe from Ares. Of course, he hopes to make the Amazons and Greeks turn hostility into friendship, try to coexist peacefully, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.

However, Hippolyta was embarrassed when she heard this.

"Well, I forgot to say that I have resigned..."

Lorne noticed the slightly evasive look of the former Amazon queen, and he was a little amused.

He probably understood why Hippolyta took the initiative to resign.

On the one hand, Hippolyta had her own pride and needed to take responsibility for the failure of the battle as a queen. On the other hand, she was worried that she would be threatened by the victor and do something that was not good for the tribe, so she took the initiative to resign before fulfilling the agreement.

However, with the help of Lorne's generosity, this wave of operations was a bit of a villain's heart.

Looking at Hippolyta, whose eyes were a little weak, Lorne rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.

"Who is the new queen of the Amazon tribe now?"

"My sister Penthesilea..."

Hippolyta bowed her head and answered, coughing dryly to add.

"Before I came, I had completed the handover ceremony with her and let her succeed me as the new queen."

However, when Lorne heard the name, his face darkened.

There was no way, he was too impressed by the sisters.

Because when he bumped into the Amazon warriors who were marching quickly, the leader with short white hair and an impatient personality threw a chain hammer weighing dozens of kilograms at his face without thinking.

After being subdued, the woman still shouted that she wanted to fight him in a one-on-one duel.

It can be said that in the conflict between him and the Amazon warriors, the reckless Penthesilea alone was responsible for 70% of the responsibility.

This hot-tempered girl is worthy of being Ares's own daughter. No wonder she will lead the Amazon tribe in the Trojan War in the future, stand on the side of Troy, fight the Greek coalition to death, and then be sent to the underworld by Achilles.

No way!

Letting such an impatient sister succeed to the throne, the Amazon tribe will inevitably continue to have conflicts with the Greeks and eventually move towards a confrontation.

In comparison, although the former queen Hippolyta has a bit of a stubborn personality, she is much more mature and stable.

Loen muttered to himself, recalling in his mind the various performances of Hippolyta that were superior to Penthesilea.

In the original Greek mythology, the ninth test that Hercules accepted was to obtain Hippolyta's [Armes Belt] and present it to Princess Artemeta, the daughter of his cousin King Eurystheus.

Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazon at that time, sympathized with the hero's experience and respected his strength, so she readily agreed to offer the belt, hoping that he would leave Amazon peacefully.

However, at the moment when Hippolyta was about to present the [Armes Belt], the rest of the Amazons were bewitched by rumors and mistakenly believed that their queen was being held hostage and forced, so they gathered together to attack Hercules and his friends.

In the melee, Hercules decisively counterattacked, and he brutally killed seven or eight of the Amazon female warriors.

As the situation worsened, Hippolyta had no choice but to call a halt, and handed over the [Armes Belt] in a humiliating way, saving a captured sister and sending Hercules and his group away.

But from then on, the relationship between the Amazons and the Greek states became worse.

Although Hippolyta tried her best to reconcile the contradictions between the two sides, hoping that they could coexist peacefully.

But later, the Amazon queen died in a conflict with the Athenians, which led to the complete hostility between the Amazons and the Greek states.

So, for a long time in the future, this group of brave and warlike women fought desperately with the Greek states.

Until the Trojan War, the Amazons, led by the new queen Penthesilea, joined the Trojan side and all died in battle. The once glorious Amazon tribe also fell into decline.

Therefore, if he wanted him to choose the person in charge of Amazon, he must have hoped that Hippolyta, the pro-Greek queen, would take office, rather than Penthesilea, the iron-blooded and reckless man.

Moreover, his previous proposal for the great integration of the Amazons and the Greeks could probably only be hosted and implemented by the steady Hippolyta.

Thinking of this, Loen gave a tactful admonition.

"Our misunderstanding has been cleared up. You can go back and explain it to your sisters. Don't be too hasty about resigning. Penthesilea's personality is not suitable for being a queen."

"But I have already handed over the throne to my sister, and it was witnessed by the goddess Artemis."

Hippolyta was a little embarrassed when she heard this.

Lorne said indifferently: "Why don't we let Artemis preside over the change back?"

"?"

"Use this to sacrifice to your god. Tell her what I said. She will agree."

Lorne took out a Gorgon elephant emblem from his arms and threw it to Hippolyta. Then he yawned and walked to the bedroom sleepily.

Is this useful?

Hippolyta looked at the bronze elephant emblem in her hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally squatted on the ground and began to outline the Hermes script to prepare for the descent ceremony.

A quarter of an hour later, the Amazon Queen in the courtyard placed the bronze elephant emblem as a sacrifice in the center of the magic circle, bit her index finger, dripped her own divine blood, and called the name of her god.

Buzz!

Accompanied by the cold resonance, the light of the full moon sprinkled on the formed magic circle, condensing a graceful and tall figure.
