Chu Hao had achieved his goal. He had rescued the protagonist from the prison cell. The protagonist of this World of Transmigration, Perseus, was a demigod born from Zeus and a human queen. He was also the most crucial character in the first and second Battle of the Gods!
However, the current Perseus was ordinary and did not have any extraordinary powers. He was merely a child raised by a fisherman. In comparison, any of the soldiers that Chu Hao had chosen was stronger than him. Yes, they were even stronger than the three most elite soldiers he had brought with him. This was because the soldiers he had chosen were all soldiers who had comprehended combat aura.
This world of the Clash of the Gods was obviously a world of magic or even close to being a world of high magic. Not only were there gods, but there were also various monsters with special powers. Similarly, there were also humans like sages who had comprehended the power of magic on their own. Of course, there were very few sages, and they were also persecuted by the gods. Relatively speaking, the only thing that humans could contend with those monsters was another extraordinary power that was tolerated by the gods: fighting aura.
This was a power that humans, or intelligent lifeforms, could comprehend from low-magic onwards. It was not correct to say that they comprehended it. In fact, it was a kind of biological instinct, which was to naturally absorb spiritual energy and then strengthen their bodies. Generally speaking, people in low-magic realms generally had better physical fitness than those in non-magic realms, and middle-magic realms were even better. This was shown on the outside. Starting from low-magic realms, some people would accumulate this kind of extraordinary power, and that was Battle Qi. Basically, in most low-magic realms, there would be this kind of power that existed.
Chu Hao chose such soldiers, but it was obvious that there were very few soldiers with battle energy, and they were basically in the middle and upper levels. Many of them were even nobles. These nobles were naturally unwilling to join such a dangerous expeditionary army, and even the king could not force them to participate. So in the end, Chu Hao only chose nine soldiers with battle energy. In fact, it was not until now that he and Zhang Heng understood why there were only so few people accompanying the protagonist on the expedition in the original movie plot. Logically speaking, for an expedition that involved the entire city and his daughter, no matter how idiotic or stingy the king was, he would definitely organize an army instead of such a small team. But if the soldiers were people with battle energy, then things would make sense …
But at this time, Chu Hao encountered another problem. The protagonist, Perseus, was unwilling to participate in the expeditionary army, nor was he willing to leave the prison. He was now in a state of despair. He sat in the prison in a daze. No matter what you said or even how you tortured him, he would be in this state.
Therefore, when Chu Hao received the report from the soldiers in the prison, he personally went to the prison. After a while, Perseus, whose eyes were bloodshot, crawled out of the prison. Then, he began to equip himself fully. He no longer looked as dejected as before. Instead, he looked as if he was about to kill someone.
"What did you say to him?"
More than one person asked Chu Hao curiously, but Chu Hao put on the mysterious and reserved expression of a sage. He only said to Zhang Heng and the three soldiers, "It's very simple. A person's heart is despondent because he has no goal. If you give him a goal, he will naturally live on. For him, how about taking revenge on the Underworld God? I told him that if he followed us, he could kill the Underworld God completely. Do you think he would still want to die now? "
Zhang Heng and the others nodded in understanding. In fact, after knowing the plot, they did think that Chu Hao would say this.
On the other hand, the entire city knew about the composition and departure of the expeditionary army. But the current situation was much better than in the plot, because the departure of the expeditionary army was an impossible task. In this world with true gods, the judgment of the gods was the inevitable trajectory of everything. If the gods said that this city would be destroyed if the princess was not sacrificed, then the city would definitely be destroyed. If the princess was not sacrificed … Be it in myths or epics, there was basically no way to escape the judgment of the gods, except for sages …
In the legends, sages appeared to complete incredible tasks. In all the myths and epics about sages, they appeared and existed after completing incredible tasks. There were even some rumors that sages helped the gods quell the chaos of the Titans. Therefore, the expedition, which was originally thought to be a farce, gave the people hope after the participation of the sages. Although the hope was not great, it was much better than the complete despair in the original plot.
Because of this, when the expeditionary army began to set off, the people did not stop them. On the contrary, they took out some of their treasured food and wine. There were also people who had learned combat aura who joined the army. In addition to the two hunters in the original plot, there was also a blacksmith, a retired veteran, and a stonemason who looked like a dwarf. They all had combat aura. These were the people who joined the expeditionary army.
On the other hand, Chu Hao, who led the team, once again found the king before he left. He then told the king that he had a group of followers. This group of followers was waiting in the dark according to his orders. If the city was in danger and he had not returned, this army would temporarily protect the city. Of course, this army was trained by him and used the weapons he made for the army, so it looked a little different from the army in the city. When the time came, he hoped that the king would restrain the people and the soldiers, so there would be no conflict between the two sides.
Naturally, the king and the nobles nodded in surprise. In their imagination, this group of people might not be many, but they were all elites who had combat aura. They would be enough to protect the nobles in a critical moment. However, what they imagined was completely different from what Chu Hao wanted to express. Chu Hao did not care about the lives of the king and the nobles at all. He only cared about the city, because according to his guess, in order to complete the Overgod's true mission … he would probably need the humans of this world, and a large number of them …
In any case, the expeditionary army set off. They carried the hope of the entire city and set off with Chu Hao's heart full of calculations. Their first stop was the desert. Along the way, his plan could begin to be carried out.
"Lord Sage, may I know where our destination is?"
Half a day after the team set off, it was close to dusk. When the team was preparing to set up camp at the edge of a small forest, the leader of the soldiers, a strong middle-aged man with a sinister appearance, asked Chu Hao respectfully.
Chu Hao sat on a withered tree trunk with his eyes closed. He smiled and said, "We have to find the Nether River Witches first. They know many secrets, including the secret to killing the sirens. They can also see the future of people, but they often tell lies to people. Our first stop is where the Nether River Witches are."
The captain and the two soldiers behind him were surprised. The captain immediately said, "But Lord Sage, legend has it that no one can go to the Nether River Witches' place …"
"Yes, no one." Chu Hao was still smiling. He pointed at himself and then pointed at Perseus who was catching fish in a stream in the distance. After that, he did not say anything else.
The captain was a little stunned, but his expression seemed to be a little disdainful of Perseus. However, he didn't say much and continued to lead the soldiers to build the camp. At the same time, in the thinnest Magician's Hand that Chu Hao had been spreading since he closed his eyes, he sensed a young woman sitting quietly at a hidden spot in the distance. Judging from her appearance, she should be the other demigod in the movie plot, Io.
However, Ai Ao wasn't his target. As long as she didn't pose any threat to the expeditionary army, he wouldn't care. He only had one true target … the gods!
If he couldn't even see the faces of the gods, then how could he unite the gods to balance team China?
Moreover, he also wanted to know many things about the gods of this world. After all, the path he had chosen was the path of godhood. Everything he knew from the divinity was too fragmented. It wasn't as good as getting information from the real gods. Of course, this was only incidental. If they couldn't survive team China's descent, then everything would be over.
"I hope … Don't disappoint me. The gods … against team China …"
