Chapter 278 Tit For Tat
A strong female warrior pushed through everyone and came to Diana, looking at her with surprise.
"Antiope, long time no see."
Antiope, the sister of Amazon Queen Hippolyta, is also Diana's first teacher.
It was she who taught Diana fighting skills and trained her into an outstanding female warrior.
Seeing Diana reveal her face, the surrounding female warriors put away their weapons, but they still kept their curious eyes on Dane.
For these new young warriors, Dane is the first living man they see on the paradise island.
Dane also generously appreciates these unique women, who have a wilder charm compared to women in the outside world.
She has the same figure as a Victoria's Secret supermodel, but her muscle lines are clearer, revealing a sense of fitness.
"A man?"
At this time, Antiope, who had regained his composure, turned his attention to Dane standing aside.
She was an old person who had experienced the persecution of Amazons by humans, so her eyebrows immediately furrowed and she didn't seem to welcome Dane very much.
Diana intercepted her before she was about to say something serious.
"Antiope, I have something very important to ask the queen, and I must see her immediately!"
Hearing Diana call her mother "Queen", Antiope immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and she guessed that the matter must be related to the "Mother Box".
So she said: "She is already waiting for you in the temple. You can go up directly, but this man..."
Antiope pointed his dagger towards Dane, and his tone changed so naturally that he could not hide the underlying hostility.
Diana could only continue: "He is Dane, the Asgardian in the magical world. He has a major relationship with what I am about to say, so he must meet the Queen with me.
Dane didn't speak the whole time, leaving At the moment to Diana to deal with. He felt that it was best not to say anything at this time, so as not to offend the Amazons without knowing it.
However, when he saw the young female warriors around him, it seemed that not all of them were as deeply distrustful of men as Antiope was.
He even noticed that some people were looking at his lower body without blinking, as if they were curious whether it was different from theirs.
Some people also focus on his secondary sexual characteristics, as if they are very interested in the "I am different" game.
Dane felt like he was a rare Beast in the zoo, being scrutinized by their curious eyes.
These young people have no concept of the protection between men and women or the concepts of propriety, justice and shame. Some of them even have eager thoughts in their eyes, as if they want to come up and touch it.
Perhaps sensing the thoughts of these young warriors, Antiope thought for a final moment, did not refuse Diana's request, and agreed to bring Dane to the queen.
"But I have to see him myself!"
With that said, Antiope glared at the female warriors around him: "Don't you have anything to do? Go back and do it quickly!"
When the surrounding soldiers heard her scolding, they felt somewhat reluctant to leave, but they still obeyed Antiope's order and retreated.
At this time, Antiope took Diana and Dane to the temple.
In the main hall, Hippolyta sat on her throne, rubbing her temples with one hand.
To her right, stood Lieutenant Menalip, almost fully armed, staring directly at Dane.
It seemed as if he could rush forward in the next moment.
Dane can almost tell which generation she is from her attitude.
Hippolyta opened her eyes and looked first at Dane, then at Diana.
Diana, you should have received my message. "
Diana said seriously: "Yes, that beacon... Not only that, we also saw the person who took the "Mother Box". "
Hippolyta sat up straight and emphasized her tone: "You guys?"
Diana glanced at Dane beside her and said, "We formed a team called the 'Justice League', which has solved many problems for the world.
Hippolyta was doubtful: "So, what is the purpose of your coming back this time?"
"Mother, do you remember the story you once told me? The story of that heroic era. I think maybe we have a chance to recreate the grand occasion of the past.
Hippolyta frowned for a moment: "You want us to join forces with humans?"
"Not only humans, but also Atlantis." At this time, Dane had to speak. He had to express his attitude.
Hippolyta asked him, "Can you make the decision for the Atlanteans?"
Dane nodded firmly: "I can."
Hippolyta turned to look at Diana, wanting to verify the truth with her.
Diana is definitely on Dane's side without hesitation?: "What Dane said is true. He has the ability to call on the people of the Sea Tribe to fight alongside us."
Hippolyta sneered: "What about humans? Although I haven't been to the human world for a long time, I know that they are not a peaceful group of people.
Even those of us on Paradise Island heard the artillery fire from that war decades ago. "
"Don't tell me that those humans have now abandoned their past hatred and become united? Don't forget, I can tell if you are lying!"
Diana was speechless. What Hippolyta was talking about was probably the Second World War. That war was indeed huge and affected a wide range of people.
And as Hippolyta's words imply, the human world is still divided.
It is said that Diana herself does not know how to reunite mankind, but the number of ordinary humans is the largest among all races, which is destined to be the main force in this war.
With the small population of Atlanteans and Amazons, they would be swallowed up by Steppenwolf's army if they met each other, and not even a single scum would be left.
The Amazons have the smallest population of all races and are extremely difficult to replenish.
Because the Amazons have an extremely bad impression of humans, they have not had newborns for many years, and the youngest female warrior among them is already hundreds of years old at the moment.
So Hippolyta already had a tendency in her heart. She said to Diana: "Diana, our people have lost many outstanding warriors when they faced Steppenwolf before. We can't involve them in another war." A war with an unknown future.”
Diana looked at her in disbelief: "Hippolyta, do you know what you are talking about? It is the responsibility of the Amazons to protect the "Mother Box", and now that the "Mother Box" is lost, "are you going to ignore it? Your honor Where is it?"
…Please give me flowers…
At this time, Diana didn't care about her and Hippolyta's status as mother and daughter, and scolded her directly.
Back then, she also insisted on going to the human world despite Hippolyta's opposition. She has never changed.
She originally thought that Hippolyta would not change, but did the passage of time finally make her become cowardly?
This made her furious. Amazons have always been brave!
Menalip, who was standing next to the throne, heard Diana's words and shouted: "Watch your words and deeds, Diana! You are facing the Queen of the Amazons!"
Diana grabbed the cloak off her body and threw it to the ground, revealing the exquisite champion armor underneath.
"A cowardly man does not deserve to be the King of the Amazons!"
As soon as these words came out, Hippolyta was also angry. She punched the throne hard, smashed the armrests and stood up.
"Why do you, who abandoned Paradise Island, say such arrogant words? You don't understand the weight of the throne at all!"
"If the Amazons join the war, how many sisters will be lost? Do you dare to look into their eyes and tell them that you will lead them to death? Just for an illusory honor?
The last person to die for honor was Asteria, and she died at the hands of humans!"
"But she lives in our hearts, even in human legends!
But if the Amazons choose to retreat this time, you will destroy its reputation that has been spread throughout the world for thousands of years. "Even the gods will trap you and the city will spurn you!"
Diana's words were so powerful that they struck Hippolyta's heart.
And Hippolyta also pointed her finger at Diana, trembling with anger!
She just hopes that her tribe can survive. Is this wrong?
Don't tell her that no eggs will be left intact after a nest is overturned. In fact, Zeus had long wanted her and her tribe to move into the new divine realm. If Hippolyta hadn't still been worried about Diana, she would have brought her there long ago. The tribe has moved into the divine realm, and the humans outside like it.
But Diana's idea is that the Amazons train themselves every day, honing their tactics and skills. Is it just for competition?
They are fighters! Not athletes!
It is a shame for a soldier to be afraid of fighting!
But Hippolyta then sneered and said to Diana:
"No matter what you say, I have decided on this matter, I am the queen of the Amazons!
The Amazons will never participate in this war. Take the man next to you and get out of Paradise Island!"
Dane stood aside without saying anything for a long time and looked around. What a good guy, they are indeed mother and daughter. They have the same temperament!
Dane was just about to say that it was actually okay for Amazon not to send troops. After all, just those few people couldn't actually make much contribution to the battlefield.
It’s okay to only provide artifacts!
But Diana was faster than him. Before Dane could speak, she quickly pulled out the Vulcan sword from her waist, threw it out, and stuck it on the floor in front of Hippolyta.
"Now I challenge you for the throne as the daughter of Zeus and the heir to the throne!
Since you don’t dare to fight against foreign enemies, then let the real Amazons be the king!”
"Let them all know that the brave Amazons are still alive!".
