Troy City

Pei Ziyun took the hand of Kuknos, rode into the city of Troy in a luxuriously decorated four-horse chariot, with shields in front and behind.

"Kuknos. ”

"Great Kuknos. ”

"You are as revered as the gods. ”

When the people of Troy heard that Kukonos led the army to help Troy defeat the Greeks, they all came out to welcome, and since the Greeks attacked Troy, many people were calm on the surface, but they were still full of panic, and Kukonos supported them, which made them a booster.

The people cheered enthusiastically, chanting the name of Kuknos and praising the greatness of Kuknos.

King Kuknos was smiling, intoxicated by the cheers of the people of Troy, waving constantly, enjoying the wonderful time very much.

Pei Ziyun watched this scene thoughtfully.

The strength of Kukonos deserved flowers and applause, and the two of them did not disperse until they reached the gate of the palace.

In the banquet hall of the royal palace, King Priam had already prepared wine and food, and invited all the powerful people of Troy to thank and welcome his ally, King Kuknos.

Pei Ziyun personally led Kukonos to the door of the banquet hall.

"Let us welcome, our respectable, amiable ally, King Kuknos of Coronay. ”

When Kukonos entered the hall, everyone stood up and welcomed him, a ritual that pleased and intoxicated him.

King Priam called his maid to bring him the best food, and the sweetest wine, to Kuknos, and so they all raised their glasses to him, and in no time they were drunk.

Seeing that there were many glasses of wine in his stomach, and seeing the blood on Kuknos's face, King Priam smiled: "Dear King Kuknos, your arrival has provided us with great assistance to Troy, this is a small thought, I hope you will not blame me for being too stingy." ”

Priam said, pointing to the new tray of rare treasures.

"King Priam, you are so gracious, we are allies in the first place, and it is my God-given duty to help you for the sake of our friendship. Kuknos said.

Eventually, Kuknos accepted some of the jewels from Priam.

Priam continued: "Dear King of Kuknos, when Troy has won a complete victory in the war against the Greeks, I will give you some lands adjacent to your kingdom, what do you think?"

When Kukonos heard this, he stood up excitedly and said, "Dear King Priam, you are so generous. ”

"I don't think the Greeks are as strong as they imagined, and today I attacked the camp of the Greeks and killed the Greeks, and the Greeks could not stop me. ”

"You see, I will kill the heroes of the Greeks, burn the camps and ships of the Greeks, and quickly wipe them out. A wave of wine came up, and Kuknos said loudly.

Priam actually knew very well in his heart that this war was actually the handiwork of the gods, and they would not agree to Troy's easy victory, so he smiled drunkenly and said: "King Kuknos, your idea is really good, but the Greeks are not so vulnerable, I have to prepare how to face the counterattack of the Greeks." ”

Pei Ziyun listened to Kuknos's words and thought to himself: "Poor Kuknos, you know what you just said, you are almost crazy, I see that death is already beckoning to you, the gods will never let you live for too long, otherwise wouldn't it destroy the balance of this war?"

Greek camp

Compared with the grand welcome celebration of Troy, the Greek camp can be said to be gloomy, and the attack on the Greek camp by Kuknos is unstoppable, which is really a big blow to the Greek coalition army.

The large tent can accommodate hundreds of people, and many kings, princes, and heroes gather.

"This time I was disturbed by the hateful Kuknos, how to deal with it, and if you have any opinions, you will put it forward. Agamemnon said with a sad face.

The audience was silent, and everyone remained silent, it was really Kuknos's invulnerability that was too perverted, and no weapon could leave scars on his body, and in the absence of Achilles, there was really no one in the Greek coalition who was an opponent.

Now the princes sat together to discuss countermeasures, and they could not think of a way to deal with the son of Poseidon, the god of the sea.

Just when Agamemnon was impatient, the prophet Calcas spoke up: "Great Commander Agamemnon, I think we should offer sacrifices to the gods and seek the gods to answer this difficult problem for us. ”

Everyone nodded, thinking that this suggestion from Karcas was good.

Today the camp was attacked, and just as Diomedes was about to be killed by Kuknos, the goddess Athena, the patron goddess of Athens, also appeared on the spot and sheltered Diomedes from disaster.

This shows that the gods are still looking to Greece and looking to the gods for answers, which is indeed the best way now.

"Calcas said yes, then we will hold a sacrifice and ask the gods for their opinions. Agamemnon was a little depressed, his eyes swept away, and he still made the decision to sacrifice.

The Greeks soon erected an altar in the open space of the camp, and they placed the idols of Zeus and Athena on the pedestal of the altar.

The servants brought the bull, and with the help of the priest, the bull was quickly slaughtered, and the beef was placed on the altar in separate categories.

As soon as they were put on it, the two pieces of the best beef disappeared, indicating that Zeus and Athena had enjoyed the sacrifice, and everyone showed a look of surprise.

After a while, the priest rejoiced and shouted, "There is an oracle, I have heard an oracle!"

The gods sent down an oracle with the support of the gods, and the priest quickly told the Greeks the contents of the oracle: "Take back the forsaken Philoctetes and you will be victorious." ”

Everyone's faces showed joy, and the things that bothered everyone finally had a solution.

It's just that the princes' expressions are a little complicated and weird.

The Greeks set sail to the island of Carisse to replenish their domestic water.

Philoctetes was delighted to find a collapsed altar on the island, which had been erected by the Argot hero Iason, for the goddess Athena during his voyage, and he wanted to offer sacrifices to the goddess.

At this moment, a large serpent guarding the altar bit the hero's heel, and when he got aboard the ship, the pain was unbearable, and the cry of pain disturbed the people and caused the whole army to be uneasy.

So it was decided to abandon the poor hero on the deserted beach of the island of Remnos, and Odysseus loaded the sleeping Philoctetes into a small boat, rowed to the beach, and threw it on.

Now go and ask Philoctetes to come back, I am afraid that others will not be able to go, and the princes have focused their eyes on Odysseus, and Odysseus is bitter in his heart.

"It's everyone's decision to abandon Philoctetes, why do you blame me?"

When Odysseus abandoned Philoctetes, he didn't know that there would be today's events, and now seeing that the princes meant to ask Philoctetes to come back, this errand really didn't want to follow.

Although Odysseus didn't want to pick up Philoctetes back, this person was related to the success or failure of the Greek coalition's war against Troy, and Agamemnon directly gave the order.

Odysseus felt bitter in his heart and had a sad face: "I can go and invite Philoctetes back, but I want Calcas to accompany me." ”

"Yes. Agamemnon agreed to Odysseus' request.

"Alas, fortunately I have only left Philoctetes on a desert island for a few months, and if it were a few years, we probably wouldn't have been able to invite him. Odysseus said with self-deprecation.

The two of them sailed out of Troy together and went to a desert island to pick up the key figure of this time, Philoctetes.

Remnos

Odysseus and Calcas, after a period of sea voyage, arrived on this deserted island, and as soon as the ship came to shore, Odysseus said: "I hide, you and Philoctetes." ”

The prophet Calcas also knew about this grievance, agreed, got off the ship, stepped on the island, looked around, and sighed in his heart: "How many months can Philoctetes survive on such a barren island?"

A man's voice rang out from a distance, dispelling doubts.

"Who are you, and what are you doing on this desert island?"

Calcas followed the prestige, only to find a man in tattered clothes approaching, and after a closer look, he recognized it as Philoctetes.

Carcas had to sigh at the strong survivability of Philoctetes, the deserted island, except for the clothes that were a little tattered, seemed to be alive and well.

"I see you dressed in Greek clothes, and though I hate them now, I still want to hear you. ”

"I now dress in tatters like a savage, but this is because I have been abandoned here by my odious friend Odysseus, and I am now afflicted with sickness. ”

When they got nearer, Philoctetes cried out with joy: "Ah, it's you, Calcas, are you here to fetch me back? ”

Philoctetes may have been alone on a desert island for too long, and now he suddenly sees a person who can talk, or Carcas, whom he knows, and his words are endless, not giving Karcas a chance to speak.

Calcas shook his head slightly and smiled: "Philoctetes, of course I will take you back, now that the Greek coalition is in trouble conquering Troy and needs your help, I hope you will go back with me to help the Greeks defeat the Trojans." ”

Philoctetes shook his head, apparently not wanting to accede to Calcas's request.

"Philoctetes, now an invulnerable ally has appeared in the Trojans, calling Kuknos, and the gods say, only you can defeat him, and you must go back with me and help us defeat him. ”

"Calcas, you don't know how hard I've had on this desert island. I limped to the springs to get water and cut wood in the woods. I am starving here, and all this is the sin of the sons of Odysseus and Atreus, and I am not willing to help them. ”

"If you're here to take me away for their business, then I'd rather live this hard life on this deserted island. ”

Philoctetes said in a resolute tone, and it seemed that he hated Odysseus to the core.
