Reversing Greek Mythology

Chapter 140 Ismene, Queen of Thebes

The humanoid demon is a forbidden bloodline that must be severed under a curse.

So during the Trojan War, the humanoid demon Aegisthus and Clytemnestra had been married for ten years, and they had no children.

In the original destiny trajectory, the four humanoid demons of the Cadmus family, the two sisters Antigone and Insmene, remained unmarried, while the two brothers Polynices and Eteocles married. Wives gave birth to children, but their bloodline would be cut off in the generation of Laodamas and Thersanteros.

As the last descendant of the Cadmus family, Insmene, after her death, the story of the Cadmus family ended.

At this time, in the center of the battlefield where the two armies were confronting each other, Laodamas and Thersanteros imitated their fathers in a one-on-one duel, and under the guidance of fate, half of their feet stepped into the gate of the underworld.

Luo Yin looked like twin brothers. Not only were they similar in age and had similar faces, but they were also about the same strength, he said with an expectant smile.

"Laodamas! Thersanteros! The gods in heaven and earth and everyone on the battlefield will witness the duel between the two of you. The winner of this duel can inherit the throne of his ancestor Cadmus and become the King of Thebes."

Yinsmene turned around with a sad expression, as if she already knew the outcome of this duel.

As long as you kill the opponent and become the winner, you can become the king of Thebes——

Thersanteros jumped off the chariot, raised her hands piously and prayed.

"The strongest goddess Pallas Athena among the gods, I sincerely pray for your help to help me win the battle."

Laodamas also jumped off his horse, raised his hands and prayed.

"Great goddess Themis, I protect the city of Thebes just like you. If I represent justice, let my spear punish my enemies!"

After the two prayed, they armed themselves with spears and shields at the same time, and then attacked each other fiercely.

Clang Clang Clang——

Clang Clang Clang——

Because the two of them have equal strength, Laodamas's swift and windy attack was blocked by Thershantros's shield, and Thershantros's violent and rainy attacks were also deflected by Laodamas's shield. return.

Everyone watching this battle widened their eyes nervously, not wanting to miss the moment when they decided the winner and life and death.

Only Luo Yin and Yin Simene were not interested in the exciting battle scene between the two.

Time passed by minute by minute.

As the battle between the two heated up, Laodamas took the opportunity to break Thersanteros' spear with a stone.

When Laodamas attacked Thersanteros at close range, Thersanteros took the opportunity to cut off Laodamas' spear with his sword. Laodamas could only use his sword to continue fighting, and the two People have become a situation where there is no winner or loser.

Finally, at the height of the battle between the two, Laodamas's sword pierced Thersanteros' neck, and Thersanteros's sword also pierced Laodamas's heart.

Then the two brothers fell simultaneously in pools of their own blood.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the two camps fell into silence.

Only then did Yinsmene turn around, look at the corpses of her two nephews with a sad expression and murmured.

"As long as you give up fighting, even the cruel gods cannot take away your innocent lives. The forbidden bloodline of humanoid demons in the Cadmus family has finally been severed."

After recovering from the shock of the two brothers dying together, Euryalus, the nephew of Adrastus, said.

"Now the bloodline of the Cadmus family has been severed with the deaths of Laodamas and Thersanteros. As the elders and nobles of Thebes, we, as relatives of Thersanteros, are eligible to inherit The throne of Thebes, you should give up resistance and let us enter Thebes.”

After hearing Euryalus' words, the nobles commanding the Theban soldiers immediately wavered.

Now that Laodamas is dead, they really have no reason to resist the coalition forces. After all, the throne they defend has nothing to do with them nobles.

"Do you want to die stupid for saying such stupid things?"

Luo Yin looked at Diomedes and the others with an unhappy expression and said coldly.

"Princess Insmene, the last descendant of the Cadmus family, is still alive! As the daughter of Oedipus, Insmene is more qualified to inherit the throne than Laodamas and Thersanteros. Now the two nephews In death, Insmene is the undisputed queen of Thebes, and the Thebans should continue to defend the queen and the city of Thebes."

Seeing that the Thebans had rekindled their fighting spirit, Euryalus immediately said.

"Princess Insmene will remain unmarried for life. Even we Argosians know this. An unmarried princess who gives up her responsibilities and does not continue the bloodline of her family is not qualified to inherit the throne."

"Just because Yinsmene didn't get married before, doesn't mean she won't get married in the future."

Luo Yin raised the divine spear, looked at Diomedes and others with cold eyes and said.

"If you don't want to give up occupying the city of Thebes, then directly lead your soldiers to attack."

Without Luo Yin's intervention, Diomedes would have led the coalition to occupy the city of Thebes without hesitation, making the unmarried princess Insmene the most valuable trophy.

Looking at the city of Thebes within easy reach, and looking at Luo Yin's cold eyes, Diomedes finally turned the chariot and said.

"let's go!"

After the coalition forces on the expedition to Thebes left with Diomedes, Luo Yin put down the divine spear, turned around and said to Insmene.

"Queen Insmene, now you can fulfill our agreement."

Upgrading from Princess of Thebes to Queen of Thebes, Yinsmene looked at Luo Yin expressionlessly.

"Is this the result you want?"

"Are you blaming me? Your two nephews died together. It was their inherent destiny to inherit the forbidden bloodline of the humanoid demon. Their deaths had nothing to do with me. Do you think I should save them?"

Yin Simene did not speak, but looked at Luo Yin with her golden twins as if she could see through Luo Yin's heart.

Luo Yin turned around and looked at the bodies of Laodamas and Thersanteros with some guilt.

"I'm not a licking dog who admires you. It's not my obligation to save your two nephews."

"I don't blame you."

Yinsmene said in a calm tone.

"I have long accepted whatever destiny has for us, so ten years ago I did not try to stop Polynices and Eteocles from killing each other, nor did I stop Antigone from committing suicide."

"If you can really accept your fate calmly, then why did you come to me?"

Seeing Yin Simene fall into silence, Luo Yin continued.

"Because you neither want to fight with death nor suffer the humiliation of the enemy."

Hearing Luo Yin's words, Yin Simene's body trembled involuntarily.

Seeing Yinsmene's reaction, Luo Yin confirmed his suspicion and immediately rode towards the Delphi Temple.

After Luo Yin left, a group of elders and nobles from Thebes came to Insmene.

Before these elders and nobles could speak, Yinsmene said.

"Before I ascend the throne and become the Queen of Thebes, please help me bury my two nephews!"
