Chapter 597: Achilles' Love
Lycofoon was shot by Paris, Hector cheered loudly, and with a spear stabbed, a Greek ten-captain snorted, and a mist of blood sprayed from his chest.
"Ahhh
"Khoolt!" the two spears snapped several times, and both drew their swords, and Hector cried out loudly: "Heroes, go forward bravely!"
"The god of thunder himself broke the bows and arrows of the Greeks!
"Forward!"
"Forward!" Hector's words boosted the morale of the Trojans, who were so powerful that the heroes and soldiers alike shouted and charged.
As things stand, it is true that the God of Thunder is on the side of Troy.
At the beginning of the Battle of Troy, the Greeks were so strong that Troy was almost overwhelmed, and now the Greeks are almost defeated by Troy.
If it weren't for the God of Thunder on Troy's side, how could there be such a big contrast?
Ajax looked at Hector's call, looked at the low morale of the Greeks, knew that he could not be allowed to continue to press, and also shouted loudly: "Greeks, the warship is our life, if Hector burns or captures the warship, then we will all die here!"
His words also inspired the Greeks to fight to the death, they had no way out, and many Greeks were crying out: "Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
Both sides rushed together, both fighting for their lives, screams rang out incessantly, the battle reached a climax again, and the two sides seemed to have reached a balance again.
"Despicable Hector, you don't have to think of damaging us with words, we Greeks will not be easily defeated. Ajax slashed his sword and shouted.
"Ajax, the defeat of the Greeks is a foregone conclusion, it's only a matter of time, let me Hector give you one last ride. β
Hector was full of confidence in the victory of this war, and the Trojan situation can be said to be very good, I don't know how many times better than at the beginning of the war.
"Hmph, when Achilles strikes, you'll be in the same situation as we are. Ajax said.
"Haha, mighty Ajax, you put your hopes in others?" Hector sneered at a Greek sailor with a sword, "But as far as I know, your Achilles suffered the humiliation of Agamemnon and was unwilling to fight for the Greeks, and the victory will be ours." β
Hector's words undoubtedly talked about Ajax's pain, and it was Achilles' inaction that brought the Greeks to such a situation.
The melee is getting bloodier and bloodier, the two sides have fought for so long, so many people have died, and they have formed a grudge that is difficult to resolve, so everyone leaves no room for anything, a Greek warship has caught fire and burned, and there are even heart-rending screams from the ship, and some people are struggling and rolling in the fire.
"It can't go on like this. When Patroclus saw this, he was very anxious, and if he continued like this, the ships were burned up, and the Greeks perished.
At that moment, he quickened his pace and ran towards Achilles' camp, and as soon as he entered the barracks, he burst into tears.
Achilles was sitting alone in the barracks, when he saw Patroclus coming in, he burst into tears, looked at him sympathetically, and said, "Patroclus, what's wrong with you?"
"Is it bad news from Phosia? I know that your father Menetios is alive, and my father Peleus is alive! Or are you lamenting the fate of the Greeks? You need not be pitied, their tragedy is entirely of their own making. β
Hearing this, Patroclus was very sad and said: "Noble hero, my friend, behold, the misfortunes of the Greeks followed, and Diomedes, Odysseus, and Agamemnon were wounded by guns, and Eurypalos was shot in the thigh. β
Achilles listened quietly and did not interrupt Patroclus.
"Ajax was fighting desperately, and he was still fighting Hector, but the Trojans were attacking fiercely, and the camp was about to be destroyed. β
At this point, Patroclus looked at Achilles: "Behold, even our last ships are burning, shouts of killing are in sight, and blood is even splashed in our facesβare you still unwilling to reconcile?"
"Oh, though I am your friend, I must also say that your parents were not Peleus and Thetis, mortals and goddesses, and that you must have been born of the gloomy sea or the hardest stone, and that your heart is so cold!"
"Well, if your mother's words or the gods' orders keep you from fighting, then at least let me and your warriors go to the aid of the Greeks. β
Achilles came to Troy this time, bringing not only dozens of warships, but also many sailors and soldiers along with the warships.
And what Patroclus said was to bring these soldiers who came with Achilles to the battlefield, and now they all followed Achilles and did not go to war.
"Lend me your armor to put on, and the Trojans may be startled if they see me thinking it's you. β
Patroclus no longer hopes that Achilles will enter the war, and now he wants to lend Achilles' armor to outsiders who mistakenly think that he is Achilles.
"I hope to give the Daneans time to regroup. β
Patroclus could not convince Achilles and had to settle for the next best thing, wearing Achilles' armor and taking his warriors into battle.
Achilles listened to Patroclus's words and replied coldly: "It is neither the words of my mother nor the command of God that prevent me from going into battle, but I suffer and suffer in my heart, because a Greek dared to despise me and take away my booty." β
Speaking of this, Achilles looked at Patroclus' eyes and shook his head: "However, you are my good friend, and because of your plea, I allow you to put on my armor and lead my soldiers into battle." β
"My armor is the armor of the gods, a gift from the gods when Peleus married Thetis, the goddess of the sea, and my father, Peleus, passed it on to me. β
"Wearing it, you can be invincible, but there is one person with whom you can't fight, and that is Hector. β
"It's not just Hector's own power, but he also has the favor of Apollo, you don't want to fight him. β
In Achilles' impression, only Hector was the opponent in Troy, and no one else paid attention to it.
Although Pei Ziyun's strength is also good, every time he fights with others, he hides his strength, and everyone doesn't know all his strength.
And Hector, who can become Achilles' opponent, is undoubtedly dangerous to Patroclus, so Achilles specially admonished him.
"You must come back as soon as you rescue the ship, and if it weren't for your plea, I would have even hoped that all the Greeks would have been destroyed, leaving only the two of us. β
"Don't be afraid, just the two of us, and our warriors, can conquer the city of Troy. β
Achilles said coldly, fully showing his strong confidence in himself and his antipathy to the Greeks, but he was indeed qualified to say so.
Without the intervention of the gods, no one in Troy would be his opponent, even if Pei Ziyun was still a little worse at the moment.
When it comes to heroes, only Hercules can outperform Achilles a little - not much!
As we talked, the fighting outside the ships became more and more intense, and the Greeks did everything they could to protect their ships from being destroyed by the Trojans.
By the time they retreated to the ships, the Greeks had no way to retreat and had to fight back desperately.
"Pop" sparks splashed, both long swords broke, both of them took a few steps back, and at this time, both of them had subordinates handed over their spears.
Ajax and Hector fought non-stop for a long time, and after a long period of attrition, both of them couldn't help but gasp.
"Kill!" Ajax gasped, and the spear stabbed Hector in the chest, but Hector dodged the spear in a flash, and the spear was hurled at Ajax.
The spear missed, nailing a Greek sailor to the deck with a creepy scream, and Ajax took a look and saw that there were not many Greeks on board, and a steady stream of Trojans was pouring up.
Even Ajax couldn't help but despair and had to retreat.
Hector watched Ajax retreat, and did not pursue, his physical strength was close to exhaustion, and he had already formed an irresolvable grudge after killing so many heroes, and in this case, he could not pursue too deeply.
"Set fire!" Hector shouted, and soon the torches fell on the warship, which was made of wood and had been poured with oil, and as soon as the torches fell, a raging flame burst into the sky, and could be clearly seen for miles.
The entire ship was soon engulfed in flames, and the people standing on the ship would have been killed or jumped into the sea to survive.
Ships were burning in other places, and when the Greeks saw this, they became more and more anxious, and there was no way back when all the ships were burned.
At this time, even with Zeus's injunction, Poseidon could not bear it: "O iron-hearted Achilles, you should be moved. β
God intervened, and Achilles saw the fire on the ship in the barracks, and his heart ached. "Ah, Patroclus, go, and don't let the enemy take our ships and cut us off from our home!
"Okay, I'll go right away. When Patroclus heard this, he was happy in his heart, and at the same time he was very anxious, and he quickly tied up Achilles' armor, which was a little heavy, but it did not affect his movements, and he immediately held a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right hand and killed it.
With a large number of warriors brought by Achilles behind him, he pounced on the most heavily fought ships to prevent them from being burned by the Trojans again.
Achilles watched his friend leave, and with great concern in his heart, he took out a golden wine glass, filled it with fine wine, and poured it into Zeus from afar, and prayed: "Great Zeus, please bless Patroclus to return safely." β
Temple of Mount Zeus
Zeus sat on the marble throne, and when he heard Achilles' prayer, he shook his head with a sad face: "Achilles, do you know that it is your hard character, your iron heart, and you don't care about the country at all, and you don't fight for the Greeks, so Patroclus's fate is doomed." β
"Patroclus is true love with you, and if he dies on the battlefield, with your Achilles' character, you will definitely help him avenge his hatred. β
"This is officially the end of fate, and death awaits you. β
"In the name of love, Achilles, sacrifice bravely!"
