Thetis and her sisters slowly approached the tearful Achilles, and seeing him heartbroken, Thetis's eyes turned red again.

Since Achilles was sensible, Thetis had never seen him so sad, but when he heard the news of Patroclus's death, he reacted so strongly that Thetis's heart was full of worry.

"Child, why are you crying bitterly?" said Thetis was invisible, and only Achilles could see her, not mortals.

When she approached, Achilles had already noticed her mother's arrival, but Achilles, who was in a state of grief, did not get up to greet her.

Thetis's eyes darkened suddenly, and she said, "My child, what pain do you have? Tell me quickly, and hide not at all! Isn't it all satisfying to you? Didn't the Greeks flock into your ships and ask for your help?"

Thetis had been keeping an eye on Achilles, and knew all about the Greeks' request for Achilles' help, and she kept telling Achilles not to join the Trojan battlefield, so that he might not have to worry about his life.

She was still very happy when she saw Achilles refuse the invitation of the Greeks, which made her think that Achilles' fate had been changed.

If Achilles had persevered and not fought in the Battle of Troy, Thetis thought her child's life would have been saved.

Achilles looked up at the figure of his mother, Thetis, and sighed: "Mother, what use is all this to me? ”

Achilles' words made Thetis's heart sink, Patroclus was Achilles' friend since childhood, and even a step deeper than his friend, but Achilles' reaction suddenly made Thetis vigilant, she knew the gods too well.

A noble deity once said, "Let mortals love, for love makes him duty-bound, and let mortals hate, because hatred makes him disregard his own safety." ”

"Let jealousy burn, it can be brothers-lovers against each other. ”

"As for those mortals who are not moved by love and hate, and who stand against us, they can be killed directly. ”

This is how the gods drive mortals, as long as mortals still care about something, they can pull the thread of mortal fate.

"Is this a conspiracy of the gods against Achilles, watching Achilles never fight, and then using Patroclus's death to stimulate him to fight?"

Although there is no direct evidence that the gods arranged for Achilles to fight, the thought of Patroclus' death causing Achilles to react so much made Thetis feel a trace of despair in her heart.

Sure enough, I only heard Achilles say: "Hector also stripped Patroclus of his armor. It was my armor, a gift from the gods to Peleus when you got married. ”

The gods gave this gift to the gods when Thetis and Peleus were married, and Peleus later gave this armor to Achilles.

"Alas, if only Peleus had married a human woman, you would not have been filled with endless sorrow for your son!"

Achilles is not completely unalert, but he is full of affection, and at this time, the flame of love is transformed into endless grief, and he suddenly opens up and becomes enlightened.

"If I cannot avenge Patroclus by killing Hector with a spear, then my heart will never be at peace, and my conscience will not allow me to live!"

"Even if I never return to my hometown, I'm going to kill Hector. ”

Achilles actually still has some understanding of his fate, but Patroclus's death makes him careless, even if fate makes him unable to escape, in order to avenge his good friend Patroclus, he will not hesitate.

Achilles' words almost broke Theses' heart, and she was born in Achilles and tried to help him get rid of his bad luck.

Soak Achilles in the water of the River Styx, and then calcine it with heavenly fire, so that the heavenly fire will burn some of his mortals, but he didn't expect everything to fail, and in the end Achilles still went to the track of fate.

Thetis sobbed and tears rolled down: "My son, quickly put aside this thought, for the god of fate has decreed that after Hector's death, your end has come." ”

"You are still young, what is more precious than life?"

Thetis has always been haunted by the prophecy of the god of fate, and she has been running around to find a solution to Achilles' curse of fate in order to break this prophecy.

Hector is the key to the spell, and as long as Achilles doesn't touch Hector, he may be able to get rid of his fate.

But Patroclus's death seems to make Achilles unable to avoid Hector, and he must seek revenge on Hector, but once the revenge is completed, it also means that Achilles' life will come to an end.

The goddess meant to avoid Hector as much as possible, and although Achilles understood what his mother meant, he stood up at once and couldn't help but roar angrily: "If the god of fate doesn't let me protect my dead friend, then I'd rather die immediately." ”

Listening to this roar, it made Thetis feel a pang of despair and sadness in her heart, and she felt that her years of hard work had come to naught.

I saw Achilles wandering and roaring: "Patroclus was far from his homeland and was not rescued by me, so he was killed. Now what use is my short life to the Greeks? I have not been able to save Patroclus and countless friends from misfortune. ”

"Now that I'm out of the way, I'm going to fight my friend's killer right away. The Trojans must understand that I've rested long enough! Killing Hector is something I must accomplish now. Dear Mother, please don't stop me from fighting!"

Achilles' words, the determination she revealed, made Thetis know that no amount of words she said would be of any avail, and she choked up, unable to speak for a while.

At this moment, suddenly there was a commotion outside, and Thetis's sister, a fairy of the sea, sighed and said to Achilles: "Achilles, don't be too sad, your friend's body has been sent back, by Prince Paris." ”

Achilles was taken aback, quickly got up and went out, and saw a crowd of people gathered in front of the camp in the distance.

"Mother, I'll take a look. Achilles was so excited that he hurried up, and behind him, several fairies looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.

"Alas, only the old and the gods know the preciousness of life, and the young do not know how to cherish it, and do not hesitate to waste and abandon it. ”

"Fate is so cruel that maybe I have to be prepared for the ultimate fate of my children. Thetis is a god after all, and the silence will be lifted: "Let's go and see it too!"

The goddesses followed invisibly, and in front of the Greek camp, chariots dragging beds full of the corpses of heroes and princes.

There were about a dozen chariots parked, each pulled by two horses.

The corpses were neatly arranged, neatly arranged, all dressed in new clothes and coated with perfume, and if you didn't look closely, you would think they were just asleep.

The cleanliness and tidiness of these corpses made the Greeks, who originally hated the Trojans very much, no longer so hostile, and some of them still had a trace of gratitude for what Pei Ziyun had done.

After all, as an enemy, the corpses of the heroes and princes of the enemy are generally not treated so ceremoniously, at least the Greeks treat the corpses of the Trojans, which are not taken care of, and are directly stacked together.

What the heroes and princes of Troy looked like when they died, and what they still look like now, the Greeks did not spend the slightest effort to clean up, if it were not for the short time, they were afraid that the corpses would have grown maggots.

At this time, the surrounding Greeks looked at these heroes and princes with solemn expressions and sad faces, there were too many people who died in this war, even the noble princes and heroes died one by one, not to mention ordinary Greek soldiers.

Ordinary Greek soldiers had already been recruited in several batches in Greece, and because of the loss of troops, the Greeks, who were in dire need of replenishment, had relaxed their requirements for soldiers, so that some of the people arranged by Gesne could have the opportunity to blend in with the ranks of the Greeks.

At this time, the heroes and princes of the Greek coalition came to the barracks, and Diomedes and Odysseus, though wounded, also came with their spears and limps.

Finally, Agamemnon, though his wounds were still painful, endured to come to the camp and look at their former friends.

Not long ago, these people had been drinking with them and fighting side by side on the battlefield, when they all turned into cold corpses, lying quietly on the corpse bed.

Some people couldn't help but cry out in grief, and some people just watched quietly, but they couldn't hide their sad expressions, and some people simply pounced on them and cried bitterly.

There was a deep sense of sorrow in front of the whole Greek camp.

Achilles saw at a glance the corpse of Patroclus, who was anointed and dressed in new clothes, and seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed.

But everyone knows that Patroclus will never be able to open his eyes again, no matter how powerful he once was.

Achilles couldn't help but lie down on the corpse and wept bitterly, his voice was heartbreaking: "My dear friend Patroclus, we have grown up together since childhood, and even shared the same bed, how can you cruelly abandon me, and how grief-stricken I am now. ”

Pei Ziyun couldn't help but be terrified when he heard this.

The ancient Greeks believed that the desire for the opposite sex and the same sex was the same, and never thought that if a man loved a man, he would no longer love a woman, and vice versa, for the ancient Greeks, there was only one kind of love, whether it was love for the opposite sex or love for the same sex, it was in fact a love for "beauty" and "nobility".

It can be said that people who hold this view are probably bisexual, and even Zeus took a fancy to the beautiful boy Ganymedes and grabbed him and poured wine for the gods.

Although Pei Ziyun understood, he looked at Achilles grief-stricken, and everyone turned a blind eye, looking "very normal", and a chill hit his heart,
