"Prince Paris, you really are a brave warrior. But our female warriors are not convinced, and wish to compete with you in archery. What do you think?"
Actually, Pei Zi Yun had already seen the elders discussing. Hearing DiBaia's words, he understood. The Amazons were women after all. Although they were suppressed in terms of strength, they were still very good at archery. Hence, after losing in other events, they wanted to win back their pride in archery.
The smartest thing about Pei Zi Yun was that whenever he went to a mountain, he would sing a song. He had no intention of being humble. In this era, this world did not care about such things. Hence, when he heard that they were going to compete with him in archery, he was overjoyed. Wasn't this the same as walking right into a trap?
"DiBaia, I am very willing to compete with the Amazons who should be respected." As soon as Pei Zi Yun said this, the archery competition began. A female Amazon warrior drew her bow and shot out an arrow.
"Pu!"
"Nine rings."
Her results were not bad. She shot consecutively, and her results were basically nine rings. Only one arrow made a mistake, hitting eight rings. But this was still a very good result.
The female warrior glared at Pei Zi Yun.
Pei Zi Yun laughed in his heart. He stepped forward, took the bow, and shot without even aiming.
"Pu."
"Ten rings." Another series of puffs. Looking closely, they were all ten rings.
The higher-ups of the Amazon Kingdom could not help but change their expressions. Some of them looked gloomy, while the ordinary female warriors cheered for Pei Zi Yun's outstanding performance.
"Prince Paris, a competition is not a real battle. We want a real competition." After losing the archery competition, the female Amazons felt humiliated. Hence, they requested to compete with Prince Paris in martial arts.
Pei Zi Yun smiled. These Amazons really did not give up until they reached the yellow river.
DiBeya walked over, a troubled look on his face. "Prince Paris, you saw it yourself. Although you beat them in running, throwing, and even archery, they aren't convinced. These warriors all want to compete with you in martial arts."
DiBaia actually did not want to talk to Pei Zi Yun about this. Although they had lost the competition, she felt that it was impolite for the guests to compete with Prince Paris. However, she could not refuse this request.
"Di Bei Ya, these are all brave and tenacious warriors. Since they are willing to spar with me, I am willing to spar with them as well." Pei Zi Yun smiled.
"If that's the case, then I shall thank Prince Paris. I shall inform them of this news now." She bowed slightly to Pei Zi Yun, expressing her gratitude.
Not long after, a group of people surrounded the arena to watch the fight.
Pei Zi Yun held a long rod and looked at the group of eager Amazonian female warriors opposite him. "Today's duel, my weapon is this rod. You can choose any weapon you want. Whoever can knock me down or take away the rod in my hand will be considered my loss. How about that?"
Initially, Pei Zi Yun had intended to say that anyone who could touch him would lose. However, he changed his mind. If he said that, these female warriors would definitely explode in anger. Even so, many of them still blushed red in embarrassment.
"Hmph, what I lack is power. If it was a warrior who focused on strength, I would give in. You Amazonian female warriors are weak, but if you focus on technique, I am invincible. Come on, let me see the martial arts taught by Artemis and Ares."
The flag bearer gave the order and the duel began.
An Amazonian who was good at using short spears entered the arena. The short spear in her hand was two meters long, while the long rod in Pei Zi Yun's hand was only more than a meter long. In the eyes of outsiders, the length of the weapon determined that Prince Paris was at a disadvantage.
"My name is Jagida, Prince Paris. I will not show mercy later. If you can't hold on, remember to say so." Jagida's female warrior said.
Pei Zi Yun said, "Go!"
Jagida immediately held the short spear in both hands and rushed towards Pei Zi Yun with all her might.
"Hey." When Jagida was three meters away from Pei Zi Yun, the short spear in her hand fiercely stabbed towards Pei Zi Yun.
When Jagida rushed towards him, Pei Zi Yun stood motionless with the long rod in his hand. Some people thought he was scared silly, and Jagida thought so too.
At the moment when Jagida stabbed out with the short spear, Pei Zi Yun moved. He had already grasped the trajectory of the short spear. His right foot took a slight step forward to the right, followed by his left foot. Both feet landed almost at the same time, brushing past the short spear and dodging the stab.
Then, with a sweep of the long rod in Pei Zi Yun's hand, Jagida flew out and landed three meters away, but she did not seem to be seriously injured.
This was also Pei Zi Yun's mercy.
In Jagida's eyes, Prince Paris only flashed slightly and she flew out. She did not even understand that she had lost.
"Wow." There was a burst of exclamation from outside the arena. It was too shocking. Jagida was one of the more powerful warriors among them, but she was unexpectedly defeated by Prince Paris in one move.
Next, there were a few other female warriors who were not convinced and wanted to compete with Prince Paris, but they were all quickly defeated.
"I didn't expect this Paris to be so strong." The Amazon Queen Pontsila thought to herself. Although it was natural for the descendants of God to be stronger than ordinary warriors, it should not be this easy.
Princess Hippolyte was also unhappy that Paris had won so easily. She took out a long sword and walked in front of Paris, "Prince Paris, I am Hippolyte."
"Oh, it's Your Royal Highness. Do you really want to compete with me?" Pei Zi Yun looked at Hippolyte with a smile that did not seem like a smile.
"Yes, let us begin." Princess Hippolyte did not want to waste time and simply shouted "Begin". Then, she stabbed her sword towards Pei Zi Yun's heart, accurate and ruthless.
Pei Zi Yun did not change his stance. He used his rod to block the sword.
Hippolyte rushed forward. Since her attack had missed, she followed the sword and slashed sideways.
"Peng!" The long sword was deflected again. For a moment, the sword flashed continuously.
"Eh, it's somewhat similar to the military sword techniques of the Great Xu Dynasty. Is this what Ares taught me?"
Hippolyte's swordsmanship was fast, ruthless, and accurate. There were no unnecessary tricks in it. It was both dignified and murderous. However, compared to the swordsmanship of the Great Xu Dynasty's army, even though Hippolyte was the one who used it, one could still see that it was well-tempered, simple, efficient, and almost perfect.
"It's a pity that Hippolyte is a princess after all. She has not experienced the battlefield, and even lacks a shield. This set of sword and shield can only be maximized when used together." Since it was a military sword technique, there were not many moves. In just a moment, Pei Zi Yun understood everything.
Hippolyte stabbed her sword again. Suddenly, her vision blurred, and Paris's figure disappeared.
A light force landed on her body, causing her to fall to the ground. A long rod was pressed against her throat.
"I've lost." Hippolyte said dejectedly.
"You're already very good." Pei Zi Yun smiled as he helped Hippolyte up. "I've been too rude. Beautiful Princess, are you alright? Please forgive me for my rashness! "
Princess Hippolyte was helped up by Prince Paris. She was still in shock as she looked at the radiant young man in front of her. She could feel the strength that belonged to this man.
"Paris."
"Paris."
The Amazonian women shouted his name, their voices getting louder and louder. They worshiped their hero. Paris had defeated them in every competition and conquered their hearts.
Pei Zi Yun smiled and raised his hands to show his respect to the cheers of the warriors.
These warriors only cared about shouting and cheering for the hero. As for political matters, those were the decisions of the higher-ups. Worshiping the hero was the consensus of everyone in this era.
The higher-ups of the Amazon Kingdom had originally wanted to show off their strength to their allies. In the end, Paris's reputation had skyrocketed, and he was invincible in the Amazon Kingdom. The elders' faces turned green.
"He doesn't seem to be as strong as Hercules, but his martial arts are on par with him. He might even be better." The elders had mixed feelings as they looked at the gloomy Queen.
Although the Queen Hippolyte had not been on the battlefield many times, she was still the daughter of Ares. She had received the teachings of Ares. Even she had been defeated. Very few people could face Paris head-on.
For the sake of the Amazon Kingdom's dignity, the Queen had to fight Paris personally. But if that was the case, there would be no room for negotiation.
If the Queen was defeated, would the Amazon Kingdom admit defeat or break their alliance? Would they swarm forward and kill Paris?
That would definitely cause the Trojans to retaliate.
But if they did not fight, Paris was too evil.
Just as they were weighing the pros and cons, Queen Pontecilea, who was still young, was about to pick up her battle axe and fight personally. Just then, a horn sounded.
The Amazon Kingdom was silent. They looked over. This was the horn of war. It meant that someone was attacking the Amazon Kingdom.
Someone rushed in and reported, "Your Majesty, the traitors and the monsters have joined forces. They are now charging towards the palace."
"Who are the traitors?" The Queen asked calmly.
"The traitors are the male slaves. There is also a monster attacking together. As for the number, we are not sure yet. We only know that there are about a few hundred of them."
"Alright, I knew it would be those lowly slaves. We should get rid of them as soon as possible." An Elder said through gritted teeth.
Hearing this, Pei Zi Yun frowned. The Elders went to the armory and put on their armor. They held their weapons and were ready to fight.
At this moment, someone brought the Queen's armor over. The Queen put on her armor and picked up her battle axe. She was ready to fight. The Elders who followed her were also eager to fight.
In the distance, there was smoke everywhere. It was obvious that someone was taking advantage of the chaos to start a fire.
From time to time, screams could be heard from afar. It was the voice of a woman. Queen Pontecilea's face was gloomy. She gripped her battle axe so tightly that her fingers had turned white.
Seeing this, Pei Zi Yun said, "Let me go too. After all, we are allies."
Queen Pontecilea was not surprised. She nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Prince Paris, be careful on the battlefield. If anything happens, I will not be able to answer to the Trojans."
"Don't worry, Queen. My skills are not only useful in competitions. I can kill my enemies on the battlefield." Pei Zi Yun said casually.
Queen Pontecilea did not say anything else. She led the Elders to the battlefield.
Princess Hippolyte wanted to follow too. At this moment, a woman held her hand and said, "Don't go. You can only watch from afar."
This woman was wearing a veil. Her entire body was filled with a mysterious aura. She said softly, "Although your fate has been decided, it is not time yet."
