Myth: I am God!

Chapter 111 Some of you have betrayed me

The black-robed wizard died in the battle.

The second prince's power suffered a huge blow as a result.

This not only resulted in the loss of a powerful wizard from Collins, but also the loss of the ancient magical weapon in his possession.

A magical weapon imitated by Athens, or perhaps Corinth.

Each of these magical weapons costs around 10,000 gold coins, making them extremely expensive to manufacture.

The ancient magical weapons were priceless; the Corinthians once traded one of them for a small city-state from the Kingdom of Athens...

Despite this defeat, the second prince not only failed to diminish the Temple's prestige, but actually made the eldest prince, Perseus, appear even more orthodox and authoritative...

This made him both shocked and furious, and he was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

However, the second prince's cleanup work was completed quickly.

When the king ordered a thorough investigation into the riot, the second prince's faction had already secretly killed all his subordinates who were involved in the riot. The peaceful Argos vanished overnight, with dozens of people disappearing without a trace.

When the prosecutor, acting on the king's orders, arrived at this point, the trail went cold, and the matter was ultimately classified as potentially involving foreign interference.

After a period of silence.

The second prince did not become despondent or give up. Instead, heeded the advice of the former commander of the royal guard and, with the help of the Brotherhood, attempted to break the alliance of the three kingdoms, weaken the influence of the Hall of Heroes, and thereby clip the wings of the eldest prince.

However, to the Brotherhood's surprise,

They established a war fortress in the eastern forest.

There's been absolutely no news?

When their people went to investigate...

All that could be seen were embers and charred corpses, as if the fire had been an unstoppable blaze...

This disrupted all of the Second Prince's and the Brotherhood's plans...

However, this also made them more vigilant, realizing that other forces might be involved in this power struggle, and they had to accelerate their progress...

So when the Athenian and Memphis missions visited Argos again, the second prince secretly sent someone to meet with them and told them in detail and with great conviction about the Argos king's treachery in concealing Hiaja's whereabouts for nearly twenty years.

The second prince's men brought royal tokens, which made the messengers believe the story.

However, this concerns the cornerstone of the Confederation.

The bronze tablet bearing the inscription of the covenant jointly signed by the leaders of Athens, Memphis, and Argos clearly states:

Following the will of the gods, searching for Hiagar is the Confederation's top priority.

This is a matter of great importance.

The messengers immediately relayed the news back to their respective kingdoms as quickly as possible so that the kings would be informed.

Everything was left to the king and the people to decide.

A pure white carrier pigeon flew down from the clouds and landed inside the palace in Athens. The senators and the king took [something] from the pigeon.

They placed the letter down, and after reading its contents, they looked at each other, hesitant and uncertain...

At this moment, the priests of the Temple of Athena, unusually, stepped into the palace halls and, within the magnificent palace, delivered the oracle and revelation of Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, to the King of Athens.

The king turned pale after hearing the priest's words and immediately dispatched another mission to travel along the land routes to persuade the states of the Middle Kingdom.

At the same time, a carrier pigeon was released to the Argos delegation, with a message stating, "Sever ties with the Kingdom of Argos at all costs!"

At the same time, in that oasis kingdom that spans vast oceans and deserts.

The Pharaoh himself drew his bow and shot down a strange-looking falcon. From the falcon's leg, he took a scroll of papyrus paper...

After reading the text, his face darkened, and he crushed the golden wine glass in his hand.

Then, in a harsh tone, he growled at his trembling servants, "Bring the messenger back! The Middle Kingdom is in chaos! From now on, Memphis shall cease all relations with Argos..."

"The king of Argos has deceived the gods for twenty years; they will incur the wrath of the gods."

Soon, carrier pigeons and falcons took flight from the distant horizon, carrying the king's decree. They flew over mountains and seas, and several days later descended from the sky, landing before the corresponding messengers in Argos, bringing them the kingdom's message.

The messengers were somewhat surprised when they saw the letters between the king and the pharaoh.

They had assumed that the confederation, through trade in magic crystals and other rare goods, had become an unbreakable alliance that had lasted for twenty years.

But unexpectedly, this massive alliance spanning the Central Plains and the Southern Continent was about to collapse overnight.

However, this is the will of the kingdom and its people, so as envoys of a nation, no matter how surprised or incredulous they may be, they must firmly stand on the side of their homeland.

Immediately, the messengers' peaceful expressions turned serious and cold as they ascended the Argos palace and conveyed the wishes of Athens and Memphis to the King of Argos in an unfriendly tone.

Dicttis's face was somber. The setting sun cast its light on his slightly haggard cheeks, and the gray in his temples made him look as if he had aged ten years. The pressure from dozens of city-states and millions of people in the kingdom had transformed into that golden crown, pressing down on his head like a mountain.

Everyone would bow their heads under such a mountain of burden, but Dixtis did not.

Until the messenger angrily threw wine cups and food on the ground, then turned and left...

Dixtis always held his head high.

He let the messenger leave without trying to stop him or allowing any discussion.

Some young nobles asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, why not capture Nasiaga, appease their anger, and prolong our alliance?"

The King of Argos snorted coldly upon hearing this, then walked to the balcony, facing the setting sun, his shadow stretched long by the sunset.

He said, "Besides the Messiah..."

"How could I possibly bow down to anyone else?"

"Because I am the King of Argos..."

"The divinely ordained King of Argos!"

"If they want to dissolve the alliance, then dissolve it."

"If they want to announce sanctions, then so be it."

"If they want to start a war, then let's start a war!"

King Dicttis of Argos.

The fourth warrior in legend, who fought alongside the hero Ara Messiah to defeat the Nemean Lion.

He drew his long sword from the setting sun and pointed it directly at it.

The silhouette of the setting sun, the blood-red cloak swaying endlessly.

That same night.

To welcome Isaac's return.

A grand banquet was held in the palace.

All members of the royal family were present.

The eldest prince Perseus, the second prince, the queen, the third princess Andromeda, and King Dicttis.

Besides the royal family, many dignitaries, ministers, prime ministers, legion commanders, Pan, the temple prophet Zak with his daughter Rebecca, and the current temple master of the Hall of Heroes, etc., also attended this most prestigious power feast.

The focus of this banquet was undoubtedly the young man with golden eyes.

Apart from the eldest prince, the other members of the royal family did not know Isaac.

They knew there was such a person, like a distant cousin from a legend, but they didn't know him personally.

The banquet was drawing to a close.

Dicttis introduced Isaac to everyone: "This is Isaac, the son of the Messiah..."

'

After King Argos finished introducing Isaac's identity, he paused for a moment, his eyes scanning each person present, discerning the various expressions on their faces.

He then announced a shocking piece of news to the crowd: "Today, our alliance with Athens and Memphis has officially broken down..."

'

"And after Isaac arrived,"

He told me something—

'

"Some of you have betrayed me."

"They betrayed the interests of the kingdom."

"And the breakdown of the alliance was the work of that traitor."
