Chapter 495: Chapter 29: Rider’s Scorn for Ancestors (5.7k)_2
In an instant, nets woven from Magic Beast sinews, spears inscribed with Hermes Script, and grappling hooks smeared with poisonous Magic Potion were all fired furiously, binding and killing the Magic Beasts trying to climb the high walls and jump into the city.
Following that, Atalanta shot an exploding arrow into the sky, and soon, from the watchtowers on the city walls, the trembling sounds of bowstrings were heard. Several waves of arrow rains were poured onto the Magic Beasts gathered around the perimeter of the walls.
Among these, not only were there Exploding Arrows that would burst upon impact, but even deadlier were those arrows equipped with small bottles of poison meticulously crafted by various sects.
The Magic Beasts that were sprinkled with these poisons outside the walls would immediately have their affected areas turn into pus and white bones.
Even the city wall bricks, which were protected by various Curses, emitted sizzling noises and waves of white smoke rose up.
With the breeze, the white smoke spread around, and the Magic Beasts began to feel dizzy, their purple-red veins indicating the spread of poison through their bloodstream to their hearts, causing a continuous flow of purplish-black blood from their orifices.
...
“Open the gates! Raise the shields!”
“Mages, apply the Protection Spell!”
“Priests and Priestesses, prepare the disperse rituals!”
The Twins seized the opportunity and commanded, charging out with their well-trained Sparta phalanx, finishing off the Magic Beasts sprawled outside the city, and then dragging these already dead Magic Beasts into the city for dissection.
For humans, the bodies of Magic Beasts were considered an extremely valuable resource.
If utilized well, this small-scale skirmish with the Magic Beasts would not only result in no losses for the humans but would actually bring in a hefty profit.
As the situation settled down, Atalanta and Medea, who was mingled among the group of mages, then noticed Luo En in the corner, smiling and watching them,@@@@
Both of them instantly rushed over, each giving him a big hug.
But after successively defeating several aftershocks of the Beast Disaster, Atalanta’s reputation grew by the day, and after more than three months of adjustments, she was universally recognized as the new Queen of Arcadia.
However, because Atalanta was a spokesperson for the Virgin Goddess Artemis, the priestesses from the Temple of the Moon Goddess did not wish for their queen to have an overly intimate relationship with the opposite sex, to avoid violating the oath of chastity to the Goddess.
Irritated by this, Atalanta naturally showed no good face to those priestesses who constantly emphasized rules around her.
“Alright, alright, you guys go back first. If you have any opinions, you can mention them to Goddess Artemis during the sacrifice time. If you still linger here, whoever loves being the queen can take over!”
Upon hearing this, the priestesses could only grudgingly depart.
Watching that group of old nanny-like figures leave her sight, Atalanta visibly perked up, tightly grasping her teacher’s arm with a chiding but light hum.
“Teacher, when did you wake up? You didn’t even tell us.”
“Exactly!” Medea, clutching the other arm, chimed in.
“Well, I came to see you guys as soon as I woke up.” Luo En explained, then immediately brought out a witness, “Don’t believe it, you can ask Helen.”
“Ah?” Helen in the corner perked up, snapping back to reality and quickly nodded in response, “Oh, yes, that’s true.”
Hearing this, the two felt even happier and tightened their grip around the arm they were embracing.
“Big Brother, not to hide it from you, Arcadia has really changed a lot during these three months of your coma.”
