Chapter 544: Array

In the early morning, there are some stars scattered here and there

A huge fleet was sailing on the dark sea, the fleet of hundreds of warships, stretching for more than ten miles, and the beach loomed ahead, and the Greek fleet finally reached Troy after a long sea voyage.

At dawn, the first ship docked along the Trojan coastline, and immediately there was an order: "The advance party immediately goes ashore and patrols the surroundings." ”

With the order, a young man quickly jumped out of the boat, spear in hand, and this was none other than Palotsilaus, the son of Iphiklos.

Behind him, the Greek warriors also jumped off to patrol one after another.

"There was no one around. "With the report, the fleet ships approached, and the Greek fleet landed.

Agamemnon immediately ordered: "Set up camp with the fleet." ”

With Agamemnon's order, the men of the various ships were busy, and the soldiers lined up on the deck with clean shields and spears, and under the leadership of the commander, they disembarked one by one.

Hundreds of soldiers walked down from the warship, the scene was spectacular, all the soldiers on the beach according to the task, or patrol, or guard, or camped, at a glance, dense, no less than tens of thousands.

Next came the war horses and chariots, which were towed by the soldiers, and disembarked from the warship.

"Sacrifice to the gods. ”

"Cook, everyone has a full meal, examines shields, spears, feeds the horses, prepares the chariots, and prepares them for battle. ”

The men buried a pot in the open space of the newly built camp to make rice, and soon smoke rose from the cooking.

Agamemnon ordered the construction of a temporary altar in the clearing, which was round and had an image of Zeus.

Agamemnon led a ram into the altar, and after praying, the priests took out a sharp knife and plunged it into the ram's neck, and the blood was sprayed like a fountain and flowed onto the altar, and the priest skillfully skinned the bull, deboned it, eviscerated it, and placed the mutton on the altar.

As soon as he put it down, the best piece of it disappeared, and the priest's face showed a hint of joy: "Honorable Commander Agamemnon, the gods have accepted your sacrifice, and I believe that this time you will be victorious." ”

Agamemnon smiled on his face, and he was satisfied with the results of the sacrifice, and after the sacrifice to Zeus, the man had already prepared the food.

"Heroes and princes, eat with me, eat and drink enough, so that you have the strength to face the next battle. Agamemnon said.

After eating, the princes led their army into the wilderness in the direction of the city of Troy.

Troy Mansion

In the hot pool, Pei Ziyun was showering, the fog was so thick that he couldn't see people clearly, and he whispered: "System"

A plum blossom reappeared, and quickly enlarged, turning into a transparent data frame, with a faint sense of light appearing in front of the eyes.

"Mission: Induce Odysseus to kill Palamedes early (unfinished)"

"Mission: Fight back against the Greek emissaries, fight for morality, duel with Menelaus (unfinished)"

Pei Ziyun looked at the system again, showing his attributes.

"Heroic Bloodline: Tier 3 (100.5%)"

"I gave 2/3 of the gold to the whole city, and I took the responsibility to facilitate the duel with Menelaus, and finally gave the last 2% of my prestige. ”

"The feeling of a priest can only feel the presence of a higher second. I can feel that Menelaus is exactly the fifth level of heroes, and if it is two levels worse, the gap is too big, but if it is one level, it can be made up. ”

"I dare to duel Menelaus on the basis of this. ”

Thinking about it, he pressed it hard.

"Boom!"

A roar exploded, Pei Ziyun was shocked, his heart beat rapidly, and with a breath, there was a faint hint of gold in the blood, showing that the bloodline had undergone a purification evolution.

The bones of the body also continue to become stiff and light.

"Heroic Bloodline: Tier 4 (0.5%)"

"Stunt: Light Wind (65.5%)"

"Stunt: Iron Cast Copper (40.8%)"

"Very well, Menelaus, let your defeat and even the corpse make my prestige!" Pei Ziyun stood up, and Ononee put on his clothes and armor.

"Don't be afraid, my dear, I will definitely win. Pei Ziyun kissed her forehead and walked outside, and almost at the same time, more than a dozen armed slaves followed silently.

Troy Palace

The palace was brightly lit, and a large number of warriors in leather armor and spears were gathered - Troy was not negligent.

"Respect the king, the fleet of the Greeks has landed on the coast, and it will not be long before it reaches the city of Troy. A soldier was half-kneeling, reporting the news ahead.

Priam nodded and said to a few elders, "I didn't expect Agamemnon to move so fast, and our warriors are ready for battle?"

"Rest assured, king, that we warriors have long been prepared for war, and besides, our Trojan walls were built by the gods, not Agamemnon to break through. One of the elders said.

Priam nodded, and then continued, "Our allies should have already left, right?"

"The armies of the kingdoms of Flickia and Percinia are already on their way, and as for the other kingdoms, there is no news yet. ”

"Now there is no hurry, let's go, let's go to the city wall and have a look. Priam got up as he spoke, and more than a dozen warriors silently followed, but he didn't feel that a reddish meteor descended from the sky and fell into the city.

Troy Helen Mansion

The reddish meteor fell and became a goddess, and she was Iris, the goddess of the rainbow in Greek mythology, the daughter of Taumas and Electra, the sister of Halpier, and the twin sister of Arke, the messenger of the gods.

She transmits the will of the gods to people and is considered to be the transmitter of the divine voice, and the difference from Hermes is that Hermes is one of the main gods, and it often changes the orders of the gods, while Iris is completely transmitting orders due to the relatively low level of the gods.

But Iris was still a goddess, and with a shake of her body, she turned into the maid Etra, and appeared in Helen's dream, which was a fog, and she leaned in.

"Helen, the Greeks are coming, but the war has not begun, only your two husbands, Paris and Menelaus, will go into battle for a decisive battle, and whoever wins the decisive battle will be able to bring you back. ”

As Iris spoke, Helen woke up, and if the goddess hadn't told her the news, she would still be in the dark.

Helen got up and dressed and went out, and as soon as she arrived at the door, Corcelia greeted her in time, and she was not surprised when she saw Helen going out, but just bowed: "Prince Paris has already passed, and he confessed that if you wake up and want to see, I will take you there." ”

Helen nodded, and followed Cocelia out of the mansion, and as soon as she reached the gate of the city, she saw King Priam and several respected elders patrolling the city walls.

Although several elders had seen Helen before, when they saw Helen coming, they were still overwhelmed by her heavenly beauty, and whispered to each other: "No wonder Prince Paris robbed the palace for this woman, she looks like an immortal goddess." ”

Priam, too, saw her, and greeted Helen cordially, and said, "Come, my dear daughter, and sit beside me, and I want your first husband, Menelaus, and your relatives and friends, to see it, and let them know that it is not the duty to come to you for this bitter war." ”

Helen nodded, and led Cocelia up the wall.

Priam looked at the procession outside the city, pointed to one of the men, and said, "Now tell me, who is that majestic man?"

By this time, it was dawn, and there was already a light pouring down, and Helen followed his finger and recognized at once that the man who was walking in front was Agamemnon.

She said, "Dear father, that man is Agamemnon, the noble king of McKenny, and a brave warrior, who was my brother in the past. ”

Priam nodded, seeing Agamemnon for the first time, only to realize that this commander of the Greek coalition was indeed not simple.

He asked again, "Is the person next to him your former husband, Menelaus?"

"Yes!" Helen nodded.

Outside the city, Pei Ziyun led a team towards the agreed duel venue, and Agamemnon also led the team, and the two teams got closer and closer, and finally met in the middle of the duel venue.

Agamemnon pointed to Pei Ziyun, who was standing in the distance, and asked Palamedes, "That person is Prince Paris of Troy?"

"Yes, Commander Agamemnon, a former shepherd on Mount Ida, who later became acquainted with Priam, returned to Troy and became a prince. Palamedes introduced.

"As a shepherd, he shouldn't be too good at martial arts, but I've heard that he has killed three monsters with his own hands. ”

"I asked this question to Elder Antenor of Troy, and he couldn't explain it well, saying that it was the blessing of the gods. Palamedes said.

"Blessed by the gods?" Agamemnon nodded, not saying more.

Pei Ziyun squinted at the Greek coalition army, and saw a majestic man standing in the middle, and everyone else was faintly centered on him, knowing that this person was Agamemnon.

I felt it carefully with the priestly sense, and felt that Agamemnon's heroic bloodline level was still above him.

Then they brought out the sacrifice, two sheep and a parchment bag of wine, and together they were four sheep and two sheepskin bags of wine.

Standing on the wall, King Priam got up and led his guards down from the wall and went to the front.

Pei Ziyun wore a white tunic with a gold belt, a sword at his waist, and walked out with a spear in his hand.

Menelaus came out of the array in his chariot, also spear in his hand, fully armed, and jumped out of the chariot as he walked to the makeshift altar.

Menelaus knelt on the ground and raised his hands in the air: "O gods, please listen to me! Paris and I have obeyed the arrangement of the god of fate, and have decided to fight again, fight to the death, let us sacrifice and swear, and start this inevitable duel!"

As he spoke, Agamemnon and Odysseus came over at the same time, and the king of Troy, Priam, had already arrived in front of the battle and went to the altar with Pei Ziyun.

The offerings of both sides were placed on the altar, and the wine was mixed with a golden bowl.

The people of both sides prayed at the altar at the same time, hoping to be blessed by the gods and win the duel.

After the sacrifice, Priam said, "Greeks, I will return to the wall, for I cannot watch my son fight Menelaus, king of Sparta, here in a duel to the death." ”

"Who wins and who loses among them, only the great Zeus knows. ”

After speaking, Priam got into the chariot and drove towards the city, and Pei Ziyun's eyes flashed, and he met Menelaus's eyes, and suddenly splashed sparks.
