Chapter 568: The Time Is Ripe

Achilles sat on the shore with tears in his eyes, staring at the dark waters and calling out to his mother, Thetis.

Because of Achilles' strength, it is easy to overlook his age, he is only a sixteen-year-old boy.

But he took on the responsibilities and pressures far beyond this age, and when he was alone at this time, he couldn't stop the tears from falling.

In the palace deep under the sea, Thetis had been paying attention to Achilles, and when she heard him call to herself from afar, she couldn't help but feel a slight pain in her heart when she thought of the tragic fate that her child Achilles was about to face.

How much she wanted to change his fate, as soon as Achilles was born, Thetis discovered his growing divine blood, which made it possible for him to become a true god.

Therefore, in the night he carried his father behind his father's back and burned his son in a fire, so that he might burn the part of his father's inheritance of mankind and make him holy, and in the daytime he healed his wounds with divine medicine, and as the blood of the gods grew, he grew flesh and blood, and became closer to the true God.

But once Peleus peeked in secret, and when he saw his son crying in the flames, he screamed in fright, and Thetis tried to come to naught.

"My son, you have the gift of being the envy of the gods, for the growing blood of the gods can make up for your loss. Thetis knew in his heart that even the sons of Zeus could not use this method to purify the bloodline except for this talent: "But the gods made Peleus realize, and in fact it was the gods' warning, that you lost your last chance." ”

Thinking of this, she opened her mouth to speak, so that Achilles, who was on the coast, heard the voice of her mother from the depths of the sea: "Alas, my child, it was I who gave birth to you, and your life is so short. ”

Achilles was also sad when he heard Thetis say this, and he also knew that his mother had worked hard and tried countless means to change his fate, but in the end they all failed.

"You are supposed to live happily and happily, but you have to endure so much suffering and humiliation. Thetis continued.

"Mother, I don't feel bitter, I just feel angry, why should Agamemnon make me pay for the mistakes. Achilles said.

"My child, I have been watching, and I don't know what you have been wronged about, and I will go to Thor myself and ask him to help you, so that you don't have to endure this humiliating fate. ”

"But you have to wait, it is not right away, for yesterday Zeus went to the Gulf of Okeanos to enjoy the sacrifice of the pious Ethiopians, and it will take twelve days to return. ”

"Then I went to him, hugged his knees and begged him!"

"Now stay near the ships for now, ignore them, and take part in any fighting. ”

Thetis really did her best for the affairs of Achilles, and the last time Hermes made it clear that Achilles' fate was sealed, she still wanted to improve his fate as much as possible.

Achilles listened, and calmed down a little, if this mood continued, maybe he would go to Agamemnon for trouble.

After sitting for a while, Achilles left the coast, and as he returned, many people greeted him, and his face was tense and he did not say a word.

Returning to the tent, looking at the empty tent, Achilles thought of the girl who was taken away by Agamemnon, and his mood became angry, he crossed his hands in front of his chest, and sat quietly in the tent without saying a word.

Troy City

The messenger of the Greeks came to Chrysis and said, "O honorable priest, the great commander of Agamemnon has promised you to redeem your daughter Chryseius." ”

"Is this true?" Chryses looked surprised, and saw the Greek envoy's depression swept away.

"Chryses, this is true, let's set out to the camp to redeem your daughter. The messenger said.

"Wait, I'll take the gold and bronze and go out with you. ”

After a while, the servant carried a chest from the room and placed it on the chariot outside, and Chryses and the Greek messenger went out of the city to the Greek camp.

In the camp, Odysseus was waiting for Chryseius to arrive, and the soldiers had already brought Chryseis from Agamemnon's barracks.

"O maiden of Micia, you have a good father. Odysseus sighed.

Had it not been for the plague that Apollo had brought down and inflicted heavy losses on the Greeks, it would have been impossible for Agamemnon to offend Agamemnon for this.

There was a commotion in the barracks, and a figure broke in, and when he saw the girl sitting on a woollen blanket, he said with surprise: "My daughter, you have been captured by the enemy, but how worried I am, now I am going to take you home, and I will not let you be wronged again." ”

After saying that, Chrysses, who had just broken in, hugged Chrysseis, who was sitting on a woolen blanket.

"Father, you are here, I thought I would never see you again. Chryseius buried his head in the bosom of his father, Chryseis, and said sadly.

"My daughter, everything will be fine, I'll take you home now. After saying that, Chrysses glanced at Odysseus, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Greeks, my ransom has been given to your messenger. ”

Chrysses raised his hands to the sky and prayed aloud: "O great Apollo, your servant Chrysses has thanked you for your grace, and now that the Greeks have yielded and let me take back my daughter Chryseius, I beg you to stop giving disaster to the Greeks." ”

Odysseus was displeased to hear Chryses say that the Greeks had yielded, but they did succumb to the plague sent down by the gods.

Strange to say, as soon as Chryses had finished praying, the plague outside stopped, and all the sick showed signs of recovery.

One of them hurried in and said, "King Odysseus, the plague has stopped, and all the soldiers have gradually recovered. ”

Odysseus was shocked and enthusiastically sent Chrysses out of the camp, watching their chariot drift away before returning to the camp.

By this time, some of the soldiers who had just shown signs of recovery were able to get out of bed and walk.

"Alas, so mortals must fear the gods, for their power is incomparable. Odysseus said with emotion in his heart.

Troy City

Pei Ziyun stood on the city wall and looked at the smoke that was gradually disappearing: "The plague of the Greeks is over, this is not a natural plague, it is a supernatural plague, so it comes and goes quickly." ”

In fact, most of the gods were on the side of the Greeks, and Apollo's punishment of the Greeks simply could not last long, so as soon as there was a step down, it immediately stopped. ”

"However, although the normal script is over, I want to make a big one. "When the Amazonian queen Penthesilea, who was killed by Achilles, swore to Ares that the Greeks would pay the price, and this is just the beginning.

Achilles and Agamemnon were at odds with each other, he had withdrawn from the Greek coalition and was calling out to his mother Thetis, who would ask Zeus to fight Agamemnon for Achilles' sake. ”

"The enraged Ares will also support a blow to the Greeks. ”

"In this world of the gods, with these two, my plan to strike at the Greeks has the basic conditions for implementation. ”

"Otherwise, even if I come up with a perfect plan, it will be dissolved by the gods of insight. ”

"Now, when the time is ripe, I will seize this opportunity to weaken the Greeks and strengthen my own strength, which may not be the case in the future. ”

Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun asked, "Are our people ready?"

Gesne, who was standing behind him, said respectfully, "Prince, everything is ready. ”

"Okay, let's move on to the third step. Pei Ziyun said.

"Yes. After saying that, Gesne slowly retreated.

Pei Ziyun looked at the Greek camp again and shouted, "System!"

With the call, a plum quickly appeared in front of him, and quickly enlarged, changing into a data frame with a faint sense of light and appearing in front of him.

"Heroic Bloodline: Tier 5 (155.7%)"

"Now the power needed to grow is getting bigger and bigger, killing the two heroes of Molion and Menepos, although they haven't been digested yet, they may be digested by 180%, and to reach the seventh layer, you need at least one hero. ”

Pei Ziyun's heart fell into deep thought.

Now that the Battle of Troy has been fought for a few years, the heroes who should appear on the stage are basically ready, and the deadline for the final showdown is getting closer and closer.

He is now trying his best to accumulate strength, and when that moment comes, he will have the strength to deal with it.

Camp of the Greeks

Agamemnon and Achilles had been arguing at the prince's meeting for some time, and they had deliberately avoided the topic in order to avoid exacerbating the conflict between them.

The whole camp of the Greeks entered a rare period of calm, and even Troy no longer came to harass him.

But at some point, another gust of wind blew in the camp, and a gossip circulated among the soldiers: "Without Achilles, the Greeks will face a setback." ”

Where did the news come from, it was no longer searchable, only that it suddenly spread in the camp.

The widespread news soon reached Agamemnon's ears, and he was even more distressed to hear it.

"Do you no longer trust me, and choose to trust that arrogant young man?" thought Agamemnon.

The contradiction between Agamemnon and Achilles is, in the final analysis, the contradiction between the commander and the warrior, between the superior and the talent, and personal jealousy and desire for power are only the catalyst, but even if it is replaced by someone else, unless Achilles succumbs, this contradiction is difficult to reconcile.

It can even be said that even if Achilles succumbs, this contradiction will never be eliminated, who calls the inferior person to have excessive bravery and talent?

At that moment, there was a commotion outside the barracks, and Agamemnon looked over and saw a large number of Greek soldiers surrounding a group of men, who were carrying a batch of supplies.

Agamemnon was a little strange, although some merchants in the camp had started selling some daily necessities to make life easier.

And this group of businessmen can't see the difference, it's just that there are a little more supplies than ordinary businessmen, and it shouldn't cause so many soldiers to watch.

He listened outside the crowd for a while and understood.

This group of merchants came from Greece, and they brought not only the specialties of the various Greek city-states and kingdoms, but also the news of their homeland because they went to the various Greek city-states and kingdoms to gather supplies.

These soldiers, heroes, and princes who have been away from home for many years are asking them for news of their hometown and family.

"It's been so many years since I left home. When Agamemnon saw this, he also thought that he had been away from his hometown for many years, and his heart was moved when he found that one of the merchants was from McKenny.

Agamemnon, who had not heard from McKenny for a long time, called a soldier and pointed to the merchant from McKenny and said, "Go and call him to come to my barracks." ”

As he spoke, he walked into the barracks, and one of the soldiers listened to the order, walked past and said a few words to the merchants, and led the merchants towards the commander's barracks.
