Chapter 613 The Temple of the Sun God
Achilles's face was full of shock. What was shocked was not that Xu Nuo actually spared his life after winning the one-on-one victory, but that Xu Nuo actually humiliated him so much.
In this era where reputation is higher than life, ordinary people may not care too much about these. But for well-known heroes like Achilles, the biggest humiliation of being defeated in duels and being forgiven.
"You guy!" Achilles gasped heavily, his face turned red, and his eyes stared at Xu Nuo, "You dare to humiliate me like this?!"
Achilles believed that Xu Nuo was disdainful to kill him, and this kind of thing hit him even more severely than defeat. Achilles, who valued reputation, was despised, which made him accept it.
Xu Nuo knew that one of his tasks was to kill the most powerful hero among the Greeks. This hero can basically be confirmed to be Achilles.
But he chose to spare Achilles' life when he won the victory, not because he was ruthless or admired heroes, but because he thought the time was not right.
In addition to killing Achilles, Xunuo also has another task to defeat the Greeks' attack on Troy.
If this is an ordinary world, Xu Nuo put on the Iron Man armor and flew to the sea to sink all the Greek ships. But after all, this place is not an ordinary world, but a mythical world.
Just when he was fighting fiercely with Achilles before, his powerful intuition told him that there were many inexplicable energy fluctuations wandering around the nearby area. It felt like there were many figures observing them closely in the distance.
You don’t need to think too much about it, and you will know that those audiences are gods in this world.
If Promise was indigenous, whether it was Greeks or Trojans, there would be no problem with killing Achilles on the spot.
But he was an alien tourist of unknown origin. He showed such strong strength and then killed a demigod hero like Achilles. He also wanted to destroy the entire Greek fleet.
It is impossible for such a powerful existence to say that those gods do not take action to test him. After all, whether it is a god or an ordinary person, they will feel deeply uneasy when they appear on their territory.
Xu Nuo would not be afraid of any opponent, but he was not a reckless man who did not know how to use his brain. Once a large number of gods were aroused to jointly siege, it was almost certain that Xu Nuo would be left in this world.
Therefore, Xu Nuo made a decision after thinking quickly in his mind. Defeat the Greeks' attack on Troy first, and then it was the time to truly kill Achilles. After both tasks were completed, Xu Nuo, who could leave the trump card at any time, was truly fearless.
You should know that Achilles is a highly-watched demigod hero. He killed him under the gaze of the gods. It would be impossible to say that the gods would not come forward.
This is the reason why Xu Nuo pretended to be generous and let him go once. Since he already understood that his strength was stronger than his opponent, he could kill Achilles to complete this mission at any time. There is no need to rush for a moment.
Xu Nuo looked at Achilles who was so angry that he trembled all over, smiled and took back his sword and turned toward the Trojan cavalry.
"Come back!" Achilles clenched his fists with his hands, and a handsome face full of anger "Come back!!!"
Seeing Xu Nuo leaving without looking back, Achilles, who felt humiliated, roared, "Bastard! Come back!! Kill me!!!"
Xu Nuo ignored Achilles' roar. When he came to the Trojans, a Trojan cavalry took the initiative to get out of the horse. He knelt on one knee and handed over his horse to Xu Nuo for use.
This is a fair and sacred duel. Xu Nuo defeated his opponent head-on with his strength. Whether it is killing or letting go, it is his right to deal with the loser.
Although some Trojans felt sorry for Promise not to kill Achilles, no one would say anything too much. This is the glory of Promise.
Xu Nuo pressed his back and turned over to the horse, throwing the sword in his hand to Hector who was leaning over. "Thank you for your sword."
Hector took his sword, brushed a sword flower and inserted it back into the scabbard. Looking at the many Greek ships on the sea that were quickly approaching the beach, Hector lowered his head and saluted to the promise, "Thank you for your help, Troy will always remember your kindness."
"I will always stand on the justice side." Xu Nuo responded with a smile.
However, in fact, Xunnuo will always only stand on the side that can complete the task. As for whether it is just, it is something to consider later.
At this time, a large number of Greek ships were about to arrive at the beach, and at this time, only a few hundred Trojan soldiers on the beach could not resist the huge Greek army.
"Go to the temple of the Sun God!" Hector pulled the reins and shouted loudly and ordered all the soldiers on the beach to retreat to the temple.
The god of the Sun God is located on a high ground on the left side of the beach, where the god Apollo, who worships the Trojan faith, is located.
In this mythical world, the power of the gods is not only derived from their own bloodlines, but also from the power of faith of believers on earth. These powers of faith are a manifestation of energy. With faith, the gods can absorb this energy and strengthen themselves.
Therefore, no matter what kind of gods are, they will desperately develop believers on earth to expand their faith. The Troy region is the biggest source of faith for the sun god Apollo. This is also the fundamental reason why the sun god has to do his best to protect Troy in this war.
At this time, a large number of Greek ships had successfully begun to rush to the beach, and many fully armed Greek soldiers rushed over and shouted and rushed towards the defenders. Under the leadership of Hector, a large number of defenders retreated to the Temple of the Sun God, and Xu Nuo naturally followed.
Before leaving the beach, Xu Nuo turned his head and looked at Achilles who had been surrounded by his soldiers. At this moment, the demigod hero sat on the beach with depression and no longer had the desire to continue fighting.
Failed to Achilles, who was not killed in the duel, was a huge insult to the reputation of the sergeant. However, he could not commit suicide because suicide would have a greater blow to reputation.
In this case, Achilles could only choose to withdraw from the battle dull. He would not join the battlefield again until he recovered his emotions.
The Temple of the Sun God located on the cliffs by the sea is very spectacular and huge. The temple made of huge stones looks extremely magnificent. There are many sculptures erected in front of the gods, all of which are the heroic postures of the Sun God. This is the place of faith in Troy.
When he arrived in front of the temple, Xu Nuo dismounted his horse and looked at the magnificent sculptures nearby, and a strange feeling suddenly flashed in his heart. It seemed as if he was soaked in warm spring water, and he felt warm all over.
"Is this divine power?" Xu Nuo raised his hand and looked at his palm. The feeling of fatigue left behind when he fought Achilles before was swept away by the soaking of this divine power. He now felt that his whole body was full of power!
This is the sun god Apollo using his divine power to treat Xu Nuo's fatigue. Although Xu Nuo did not believe in the sun god, the source of energy on his body was originally in the sun's rays, and now he is standing on the side of the Trojans. Therefore, Apollo gave him help without any hesitation.
Of course, because of the agreement between the gods, Apollo could not take action directly. He could only help him in this way until he promised to come to the temple, rather than during his battle.
This also indirectly shows that this war is of great importance to the gods. In order not to lose the land of Troy's faith, Apollo no longer cared about promising to be a pagan.
In the temple are huge pillars that are hugging together. They are rough but still magnificent.
In the middle of the temple is a huge and magnificent Apollo sculpture. There are many tributes and incense on the tribute platform in front of the sculpture. Several priests in robes are praying to Apollo, begging Apollo to bless Troy to survive this disaster.
In fact, in the divine realm, Apollo has done his best for Troy.
In addition to being unable to fight in person, he has done everything he can. After all, with his own energy, he can strongly stop the gods who protect many Greek city-states from taking action personally. Even if he is Zeus's son and cannot fight so many gods.
After entering the temple, Xu Nuo could clearly feel an inexplicable force shrouding the entire temple. This power was soft but domineering, as hot as the sunlight in the sky.
"It's indeed the temple of the Sun God." Xu Nuo sighed in his heart, and accepted the energy that was trying to enter his body without hesitation.
The divine power of the Sun God is of the same origin as the energy absorbed from the sun's rays that promised, both of which come from the sun.
Therefore, this energy can be directly absorbed without any impact. This type of absorption is because it is in the temple of the Sun God, and it is also the absorption of the original energy. It will not attract the attention and awareness of the gods.
Xu Nuo closed his eyes and felt the warm energy wrapping his whole body. He knew that this energy was strengthening himself, and such a thing was something that Xu Nuo could encounter but not be desired. He had no idea of rejection.
In a trance, Xu Nuo felt as if he had left this temple and came to a vast sea of stars. A man with a huge body like a god was standing with his back to him.
The man has a golden shiny hair, and the long white robe seems to be constantly shining with an energy luster.
A faint voice echoed between heaven and earth, "Protect Troy, I will give you help. Accept the gift of the gods."
