"Discussing cooperation!" Luo En hurriedly explained, feeling fine sweat beading on the back of his neck.

Cooperation talks that end up in bed?

Little Medusa looked at the messy bedroom and bedding, her mind struggling to make sense of it.

"Don\'t believe me? Ask them!"

Seeing the doubt in the young girl\'s eyes grow stronger, Luo En immediately gave Stheno and Euryale frantic looks, signalling them desperately.

But seeing their younger sister\'s first action upon entering the room was to protect a certain culprit behind her, after being beaten for more than half an hour, Stheno and Euryale broke down, their faces as dark as the bottom of a pot, arms crossed over their chests, ready to watch the drama unfold.

However, as a section of a whip flashed behind someone, the indignant Stheno and Euryale shuddered, and quickly bowed their heads in humiliation, speaking in a muffled and resentful tone.

"Don\'t you want to defend Crete Island?"

"We were worried about you, we came to help."

"Really? You\'re that kind-hearted?"

Little Medusa looked at her suddenly transformed sisters with suspicion clearly outweighing trust in her tone.

Are we really that bad?

Seeing her sister\'s thief-like glare, Stheno and Euryale ground their teeth in frustration, veins popping on their foreheads.

"That\'s right, your two sisters came to find me early this morning, saying they hoped to stand with us through this tough time and defend Crete Island together!"

Seeing Stheno and Euryale on the verge of exploding, Luo En nodded repeatedly to vouch for them, dragging another conspirator to share the blame.

"Hestia can also testify!"

At that moment, the Goddess of the Hearth, who had quietly moved toward the door, stopped in her tracks, turned around, and forced a convincingly earnest smile on her face.

"Yes, yes! That\'s why I came back from the palace early!"

"So that was it? Sorry, I misunderstood you..."

Suddenly, Little Medusa, having learned the "truth," looked guiltily at her sisters and the two adults.

Seeing that they had finally managed to gloss over the issue, Luo En promptly put on a serious demeanor and changed the subject.

"Cough, cough. Now that everyone is here, let\'s discuss how to deal with the third wave of the beast tide."

When the conversation turned to their own pressing matters, everyone grew solemn, following Luo En, the current spokesman for Crete Island, to the living room to sit down and begin the formal discussion.

As the main force resisting pressure, Luo En had no choice but to take the lead, opening the meeting by announcing his strategy.

"The first problem, Keto, as a unique existence, requires a specific response. The divinity of the Gorgons can counter her. I\'m planning to leave her to you."

"Okay!"

Before Stheno and Euryale could respond, Little Medusa stood up, her face serious as she accepted the challenge.

Seeing no more opportunities to bargain, Stheno and Euryale could only roll their eyes at their foolish younger sister, silently agreeing to the task.

Luo En nodded and spread out a sea chart on the table, continuing to present difficult issues. Discover stories with m,v l\'e-NovelBin.net

"So, the second problem, what if the previous sea beasts and demigod Sirens come back?"

"Didn\'t they all scatter because of Keto\'s awakening?"

Hestia frowned, puzzled.

Luo En shook his head and handed several frontline reports to everyone, his gaze deep and distant.

"It\'s not so optimistic. It seems that due to Keto\'s huge body, she has blocked the entrance to the inner and outer sea, trapping many sea beasts in the inner sea. Apart from the fastest Siren Sisters, the remaining Scylla, [Great Whirlpool], the two demigod Sirens, also failed to escape."

These are conclusions we drew based on the surveillance and attacks near the coastal fortresses.

Once Keto awakens, these sea beasts and demigod Sirens trapped in the inner sea will probably still madly scramble to flee their monstrous mother and subsequently become the vanguard forces landing on the island.

Their numbers are not as vast as the second wave, but they still pose some trouble.

And..."

As he spoke, Luo En paused briefly, looking up at the Gorgon Sisters across from him and pondering his words.

"You are a surprise force, needed to strike unexpectedly and seize the opponent off guard to have the greatest impact. Thus, I plan to have the remaining Divine Blood Guard and Minos Fleet carry you through the beast tide. When we get close to Keto, you will seize the moment to strike and win with a single blow!"

Hestia listened attentively, thoughtfully summarizing.

"Are you worried that without King Minos, the Minos Fleet lacks the power to break through, making it difficult to complete the escort mission?"

"Hmm!"

Luo En nodded and voiced his solution.

"So, I\'m planning to put Her Highness in charge of the front line, leading the temple priests and city defense forces, responsible for repression and support from the rear;

At the same time, the Bronze Giant Talos will also be under her command, still tasked with opening the way at long range and keeping an eye on Charybdis, the \'Great Whirlpool\';

As for dealing with Scylla, and replacing King Minos to lead the fleet in the assault, I also have a candidate in mind..."

Little Medusa straightened up, eager to ask, "Who?"

Luo En\'s eyes flashed as he calmly revealed the answer: "The demigod imprisoned in the dungeon of Knossos Palace—the Minotaur!"

"But will King Minos agree?" Little Medusa paused, a bit hesitant.

"He will agree!"

Luo En said with conviction, his gaze intense.

Although lacking formal military command experience, he firmly believed in the value of preparation and having a plan for every scenario.

Now, with Crete Island\'s very survival at stake, he intended to use every available force to ensure nothing was left to chance.

For this, he was even prepared to expose King Minos\'s family disgrace and summon the Minotaur from the dungeon, to cover all bases.

With such preparations, they had not only a plan for the most dangerous Keto, but also for the potential challenges of Scylla and Charybdis.

Furthermore, he had reserved Princess Ariadne on the island as backup, while simultaneously guarding against the unlikely appearance of the three Siren sisters.

Such meticulous arrangements were sufficient to handle any variation that might arise in the third beast tide.

However, considering another possibility and still feeling insecure, Luo En turned his gaze toward Hestia.

"When the time comes, you will secure our rear along the coastal defense line, and if Poseidon makes a move..."

Hearing she would have a role to play, Hestia clenched her fists and swiped through the air excitedly,

"Don\'t worry, I\'ll definitely give him a beating!"

Luo En nodded slightly, his expression showing satisfaction and relief.

Given the formidable power of the sea deity, he had no intention of letting Hestia take the forefront and give their opponent an advantage.

But that didn\'t mean he wasn\'t prepared for the eventuality of the God of the Sea, unable to accept defeat, becoming desperate.

After outlining the basic strategy, the group immediately reviewed the plan again, clarifying and refining each person\'s tasks.

With nothing much to do, an idly curious Hestia suddenly had a thought,

"Wait, what if Keto doesn\'t show up after seven days?"

"Good question!"

Luo En smiled nonchalantly, stood up from his seat, and looked at Hestia with a gaze not of mockery, but filled with rare admiration, and replied leisurely,

"That is the third trouble to handle, and it\'s my task to deal with it—once everything is in place, I\'ll be the one to lure Keto out!"

"Lure? Like fishing?"

Hestia blinked in bewilderment, then nodded to herself.

It seemed right; the mother of monsters did indeed resemble a giant snake-fish.

But she was also an ancient god.

What could he use to lure her out?

Seeing Hestia\'s confusion, Luo En\'s lips curled into a smile as he looked meaningfully out towards the city of Knossos, and said,

"The \'bait\'; didn\'t King Minos prepare it for us two days ago?"

In an instant, Hestia understood and an expression of schadenfreude spread across her face.

"Achoo!"

Elsewhere on Crete Island, within a hidden cave deep in the forest, a youth dressed in animal skins, armed with a longbow, and with an honest face, inexplicably felt a chill and sneezed loudly.

Damn it, could it be the old man gossiping about me again?

As a cool breeze swept through the forest, Orion looked around at the shadows and felt a sudden unease.

No, this is too close to the city of Knossos, who knows if the old man will follow; I need to go further away.

Orion grumbled as he snuffed out his fire, grabbed his longbow and water bottle, and continued deeper into the dense forest.
