When Agamemnon heard Calcas's words, he was greatly stimulated, and his eyes flashed with anger, almost erupting, burning Calcas in the flames of anger.

"Damn Kalcas, has he taken refuge in Achilles?"

Thinking of this, Agamemnon said aggressively to Carcas, "You ominous prophet, you have not said a word to me since you came here. ”

In fact, Agamemnon was angry when he said this, and the Calcas prophecy still helped a lot.

As far as when Kukonos was wreaking havoc in the camp of the Greeks, Carcas prophesied that Philoctetes would be able to destroy the troubles of Kuknos, and when Calcas and Odysseus went to ask Achilles to join the war, Agamemnon seemed to be glad to hear this.

Agamemnon continued, "Now you have come again to deceive the people, saying that Apollo brought us a plague because I refused to redeem Chryses for his daughter. ”

Speaking of this, Agamemnon's long political literacy made him angry, and he could not confront the whole army, and said at the moment: "Indeed, I am willing to keep her here, but in order to save the soldiers from the plague, I prefer to return her to Chryses." ”

At this point, Agamemnon paused and exclaimed, "Of course, it is okay for me to hand over Chryseis, but I have one condition, I ask for a gift worthy of her, and you must take out the gift and exchange it with her." ”

When Agamemnon finished speaking, all the princes and heroes were silent, and Calcas was silent, out of his prestige and royal power.

When the young and vigorous Achilles heard this, he stood up and replied: "How greedy you are, son of Atreus, greed even drives you to demand booty from princes and heroes. ”

"But have you ever thought that you are living in the hall, and many princes and heroes are attacking to crusade against the states for the sake of the coalition to obtain food and grass, and every harvest will be handed over to you 1/3, and you have already received your share. ”

"Besides, the spoils of war that we have plundered from the conquered cities have long since been divided (Note 1), and have long since been divided, so that we can maintain our morale for a long time, and we certainly cannot now give back the spoils that have been given to everyone. ”

"In that case, you will no longer support you, son of Atreus. ”

"Since it is impossible to get the booty back, I hope you will be generous, and let the priest's daughter go, so that we soldiers will suffer less. ”

"Of course, if Zeus blesses us to capture the city of Troy, we are willing to compensate you three or four times as much!"

Achilles' words are loud and reasonable, and they directly express the attitude of compensating Agamemnon, hoping that Agamemnon will now take care of the overall situation.

"Brave hero, don't try to lie to me. This is actually reasonable, reasonable, and well-founded, but Agamemnon listened to it more harshly, because it shows that Achilles is not a simple martial artist, but has a mind, although now he is only "reasonable", and does not understand "people", but as he gets older, he will learn it, so he will be more frightened and shout loudly.

"You think you can keep your booty safe, and I'll obey your command and hand over Chryseis?"

"No, the Greeks will not compensate me, then I will take what I need from your booty. ”

"It doesn't matter if these things belong to Ajax, Odysseus, or you Achilles, or how angry you are, I don't care. ”

Agamemnon was now determined to make amends, otherwise he would never back down, and in his opinion, a step back would be a compromise to Achilles, and even to the princes, and it would greatly damage his authority.

"Now, Achilles, I must tell you that though I have promised to return to him the daughter of Chryses, I will bring out of your tent a noble woman as compensation. ”

"And that you may understand that I am nobler than you after all, and that you may warn others not to go against my will, as you do. ”

Agamemnon had lost his basic sense of Achilles' words, and although the truth was clear to every prince, it was not appropriate to say it publicly.

The young Achilles, immediately enraged by Agamemnon, pressed his sword, and already had the idea of drawing his sword to kill the commander.

Blood spattered in five steps, no problem.

At this moment, Athena, who had already detected the evil omen in fate, quickly appeared behind Achilles and whispered: "You calm down, don't use your sword, if you can be obedient, I will give you three times the reward." ”

If Achilles had drawn his sword, the matter would have been great, and the Greek coalition would have fallen apart immediately, and the whole fate would have been reversed (Note 2).

When Achilles heard this voice, he knew that it was the gods who were talking to him, and since the gods told him not to use the sword, he could only choose to endure for the time being.

Agamemnon didn't know that he had already walked through the entrance to Hell, and if Athena hadn't stopped him in time, he might have needed to go to Hades' realm.

Achilles obediently pushed his sword back into its scabbard, and replied in angry language: "You despicable man, when did you think that you should fight the enemy on the battlefield with the noblest heroes of Greece? ”

"Of course, here, it's a very comfortable thing to snatch his loot from someone who dares to confront you!"

Then he pointed to the scepter in Agamemnon's hand and said, "I swear to you by this scepter: just as this scepter can no longer sprout like a branch, you will never see me fight again on the battlefield!"

"When the fierce Hector slaughtered the Greeks like mowing grass, you don't think I'll save you. ”

"You will regret not offending my dignity in the future, and it will be useless!"

Achilles was also completely enraged by Agamemnon, and left no room for speech.

"Arrogant young man, do you think that without you we cannot fight? Do you think I will come to you to save me? I tell you, you are daydreaming. ”

"I will surely make you understand that the Greeks can still win this war and conquer the city of Troy without you, a arrogant young man. Agamemnon was also mad at Achilles' words, and said furiously.

The two of them competed against each other, and none of the heroes and princes present dissuaded them, and everyone watched silently.

Because he also knew that neither of these two people could persuade him, not to mention Agamemnon, even if Achilles was angry now, he would not be able to listen to any persuasion.

"Do whatever you want, but don't expect me to do your bidding, I won't raise my hand against you or any other hero because of this girl. ”

"You can take it yourself, but remember, don't touch any of my other possessions on board, or I'll kill you. ”

This statement was already a naked threat to Agamemnon with force, and everyone changed color, and after saying this, Achilles left the barracks and went back to his ship, ignoring everyone present.

Everyone looked at each other, not expecting things to come to this point.

"Do you see? Do you all see it? This arrogant young man has never taken me or everyone in his eyes, rest assured, without him, I, Agamemnon, can lead everyone to victory. ”

The crowd was silent, with reservations about Agamemnon's words, and under his leadership, several years passed, and the war against Troy did not make any substantial progress.

"The meeting was adjourned. After Agamemnon announced the adjournment of the meeting, he returned to his barracks in a sullen mood, and the crowd dispersed, worried about the conflict between Achilles and Agamemnon at this time.

After the meeting was dismissed, Calcas was equally worried, and in the face of Agamemnon's aggressiveness, he chose to let Achilles protect him.

But in the end, Achilles and Agamemnon broke up unhappily, and they could only hope that Agamemnon would compromise with Achilles, otherwise, their good days would come to an end.

When Agamemnon returned to the barracks, he sulked, and thinking that there were still girls in Achilles' barracks who had not yet been brought back, he quickly called the heralds Tartipios and Eurycantes.

"You two go to the barracks of Achilles and bring a noble maiden. ”

"Yes. The heralds, Tartipios and Eurycantes, did not dare to disobey Agamemnon's will, and agreed to it.

Achilles and Agamemnon had a conflict at the prince's meeting, and now the entire camp now knows that they are Agamemnon's heralds, and they know about it for the first time.

Now in this situation, they are asked to go to Achilles' barracks to pick up the girl, for fear that Achilles will be slaughtered.

But no matter how reluctant they were, they also had to rush to Achilles' barracks, otherwise without Achilles' hands, Agamemnon would not have let go of the first.

Reluctantly, they came to Achilles' barracks and saw Achilles sitting at the door of the barracks.

Because of their fear, they did not dare to explain their intentions to Achilles, so they could only linger far outside Achilles' barracks.

Achilles had seen the two of them coming from afar, and had already guessed their intentions, and saw them wandering outside his barracks, as if they were about to speak, and knew that they were afraid of him.

Achilles said, "I know the purpose of your coming, you don't have to worry, it's not your fault, it's Agamemnon's fault!"

After speaking, he shouted: "Patroclus, please come out of the girl and give it to them to take back." ”

"However, I want you to testify before God and men, that if any one in the future asks for my help and is rejected, then do not blame me, but blame the son of Atreus. ”

The heralds Tartipios and Euryrantes looked at each other, and how dare they answer the contradiction between Achilles and Agamemnon, as if they did not know.

At this time, Patroclus brought out a noble maiden, and she was reluctant, and kept looking at Prince Achilles with a resentful gaze, and Achilles turned his face away from her gaze, and said, "Take her back." ”

The heralds Tartipios and Eurygentes went out with the girl, and Patroclus saw that Achilles was uncomfortable and said, "Prince Achilles, you ......."

Before the words could be spoken, Achilles waved his hand to stop him: "Patroclus, you don't have to worry about me, I'm fine, just let me sit alone." ”

Patroclus sighed helplessly and went back to the barracks, while Achilles got up and went to the sea, unknowingly, tears streaming down his face from shame.
