The battle is in full swing now. Lancer Cu was covered in small wounds all over his body, but that didn't stop him from restraining Odysseus and Chiron.
Odysseus, as the one who played the role of the tank, was practically unharmed. After all, every time he was open to being hit, Chiron was covering him.
Chiron, as Archer, had already noticed from afar the approaching group of adventurers of the Loki family.
- "Odysseus, there is a group of people on the way. From their appearance, you can tell that they are inhabitants of this world and they are hostile to us. What'll we do? Chiron had already pulled the bowstring and aimed at the approaching group.
"Although it's not profitable, we can learn from them the strength of the people of this world. If they are weak, then the only obstacle for us will be Chaldea. Chiron attack them and try to have a dialogue with them, but for now I will restrain Lancer myself" - Odysseus, as a commander, decided to sacrifice some soldiers of Atlantis to learn more about this world.
Lancer Cu was annoyed that he was being ignored so much and launched a more aggressive offensive.
Chiron had already fired several arrows towards Loki's family at the same time. Although the distance from them was about 500 meters, they flew with great force and speed.
Finn and the others who were already approaching the battle site saw arrows flying at them. But fortunately, they were blocked with the help of Ice's wind magic.
"Damn the attack from such a long range. Gareth! You'll have to go ahead and block those arrows. Ice is right behind you and then all the rest of us" - Finn quickly distributed the roles between the people and they were able to safely get to Chiron.
The group was surprised that Chiron was a centaur.
"Hey, are there such people? Bethe was a little shocked. He has seen many races in his life, but this is the first time he sees centaurs.
"I read about them once. This race was called centaurs. The upper part of the body is human and the lower part of the body is equine. It said that they were all exterminated, but it seems that this was incorrect information" - Riveria, as the most well-read of all the members of the group, was also shocked.
Chiron, in turn, also analyzed them.
(There are elves, demi-humans, dwarves, and humans among them. It is worth paying attention to elves because they are usually gifted by nature and have powerful magic. They will have to be eliminated first, but in the meantime we need to learn more information from them)
Chiron smiled amiably and said, "I'm sorry for those shots. I thought they were reinforcements from our enemy, but you don't look like them at all. My name is Chiron. Nice to meet you. May I ask who you are?"
Anyone else seeing Charon's treatment will think that this person is very friendly and easy to communicate with. But for some reason it seemed to Finn that this smile was very forced.
"I'm Finn. The captain of the Loki family. We were just returning to the surface and heard the sounds of battle and hurried here. If it's not difficult, could you tell me what you're fighting about? Finn was also trying to get information from Chiron. After all, deep down he already knows that his future enemy is standing in front of him.
- "Of course. That group and I are sworn enemies. They have already attacked us several times and now it is our turn to fight back. We can say that these are matters of national importance. I think it's my turn to ask you a question. Are you the strongest in this city?"Chiron was telling the truth mixed with lies. After all, it is most likely that others will believe in this version.
Finn was thinking about how to respond so as to give a minimum of information to a potential enemy, but he was interrupted by a sound behind him.
"Of course it's our Loki family! Apart from Freya's family, no one else in the city of Orari dares to compete with us!" Tiona said, waving her weapon.
Finn looked at Tione, who in turn spread her hands. No one can stop her sister's chatter.
"Hmm, I see. In that case, please continue your journey. And we will continue to fight" Chiron said and renewed his support for Odysseus.
Finn crossed his arms in front of him and discreetly made a sign with his hands. The group had already passed Chiron when suddenly a hail of arrows flew at them from above. If it weren't for Fin's signs that warned of danger, it would have been hard. Maybe no one would have died, but they would definitely have been injured.
"You're a pretty skilful captain. How did you know that I was going to attack you? Intuition? A premonition? Or is it insight? Chiron was slightly surprised that he couldn't hurt anyone. But it was just a surprise and nothing more.
- "We are already familiar with the group that are supposedly your enemies. It's stupid to divide you into villains and heroes, but I prefer them." Finn said, looking at his thumb.
Finn then ordered everyone to act according to the previous plan. Everyone quickly went to their positions, but Finn stayed with Chiron.
Chiron grinned at the decision.
"Do you think you can stop me from shooting them in the back? Let's see" Chiron was about to shoot an arrow when a spear flew at him.
Chiron was able to dodge him and then he realized that Odysseus was already lying on the ground.
- "Heh. Thanks kid for distracting him. Now I'll figure it out for myself" Lancer said so, but he still looked back at Odysseus, who was unconscious.
All he could do was briefly disable Odysseus. To break through his armor, he will have to use his heavenly phantasm, which needs time to prepare and a large amount of magical power.
Finn wanted to ask if he needed help, but when he saw Lancer's look, he immediately realized that he wanted to fight alone. And without further ado, he turned around and ran to help his friends.
"I don't understand what you're doing. Are you driven by pride, stupidity, courage, or all of these together? Refusing help was your stupid decision," Chiron, looking at Lancer, could not understand his action.
At the same moment, Odysseus stood next to Chiron.
"I agree. Your action would have mattered if our powers were equal, but we didn't come alone, but together with a group of fairies. Despite their backwardness in technology and culture, their strength is not something that can be contained by ordinary heroes. I assume you're waiting for your Chaldean master along with the other heroes. If they arrive here then we will be at a disadvantage. Chiron, before their arrival, we must weaken them as much as possible" - Odysseus, as a strategist, could not allow failure in their first mission.
"Then we'll have to kill Lancer as soon as possible. I'm using my heavenly fantasy. Odysseus, hold Lancer until this moment" Chiron said, gathering his magic power in the arrow.
Lancer, looking at this, just grinned and rushed at them.
