With such a busy schedule, Luo En naturally had no time to persuade Hestia to digest the trivial matters of the Divine King's family, and could only dedicate his limited energy to the preparations for war.

Although he didn't have much practical experience, thanks to the nature of his job, he had frequently consulted historical data on epic wars from ancient times to the present, all over the world.

The stones of other mountains can be used to polish jade.

All he needed to do was suggest ideas, and leave the specific operations and implementation to the professionals.

However, even so, the priests, sacrificers, and generals began to look at this scribe with increasing fervor, incessantly praising the Goddess's wisdom in their spoken words.

Clearly, they believed that all these arrangements were the will of Goddess Athena.

About this, Luo En was happy not to clarify.

With Athena as a banner to attract attention, he could not only safely plot in the shadows, but also make the Minosians believe that the Goddess was with them, greatly boosting morale, so why not?

After all, this was Greece.

As the progeny of Zeus, the more prominent one was, the more trouble they courted.

The coerced Divine Envoy Athena, the dishonored sagacious King Minos, the great hero Hercules forced to complete the twelve labors... Each of these siblings' experiences testified to this truth.

Thus, abiding by the principle of caution, Luo En continuously traveled back and forth between the various defense lines and citadels, advising the Minosians and refining the coastal defenses against the tide of beasts according to King Minos's plans.

As time trickled by, the two powers, facing each other across the sea, seemed to be engaged in a military competition of amassing troops and armor.

Two vast powder kegs approached each other, waiting for the collision that would ignite them and set off an earth-shattering blast.

Finally, on the third night.

A beam of crimson light arose from the sea, slashing through the heavy night curtain, streaking across the sky, and striking directly upon the city wall constructed along the coast.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, the dense Hermes Script etched into the stone surface of the wall's exterior started reacting successively, furiously gathering the ether from the air, forming one after another overlapping, compound, giant magic barriers.

"Boom——!"

Amidst the roar resembling that of heavy artillery, crisscrossing streams of ether light rampaged, shooting in all directions, the earth trembled incessantly and the sea whipped up towering waves.

In a dense swarm, the Sea Beasts that had starved for three to four days, driven by those with Divine Blood and stimulated by the scent of blood, roared and howled, madly charging towards the obstacle before them, eager to tear down this wall and revel in the blood and fire.

Through a sky nearly as bright as day, the front-line defenders from the city-states of Crete breathed deeply, bit hard on their lower lip to suppress the fear growing in their hearts, and mustered a desperate courage from within. They flung their spears forcefully and triggered their crossbows.

In an instant, spears flew and arrows shot through the air.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

"Thud thud thud thud!"

Suddenly, flesh tore, and blood sprayed.

On this isolated island, [human] and [beast], [life] and [death], collided fiercely, officially playing out the overture to the war's commencement!
