Chapter 592: Golden Libra
Greek Camp Main Tent
Odysseus brought back the news of the total annihilation of the Greeks' pursuit of Pei Ziyun, and he sadly recounted how they had fallen for the Trojans' tricks this time, so that he was the only one to flee, and it was still because of God's favor.
"This time we fell for Paris's ploy and were led into a valley where a lot of oil was prepared, and when we arrived, rockets came in and the whole valley burned in an instant. ”
"I desperately escaped while others were trapped inside, and in the end I was sheltered by the gods to escape, otherwise, we might not even have a person to deliver the message. ”
The camp of the Greeks fell silent, and everyone was very sad in their hearts, grieving for the loss of their heroes, princes and soldiers.
At the same time, everyone was also angry that the Trojans were despicable, but they did not expect that the Trojans did not dare to confront them head-on, but played a conspiracy.
Ajax was grieved to hear that his half-brother Thoclos, who had been raised with him since he was a child and was now in Hades, and could not help crying out in pain in the tent.
"O vile Trojan, how cruel you are, for slaying my dear brother Thoclus, and despicable Paris dominates it all, I swear to the gods that I must take revenge on the vile Paris. ”
"My dear brother, do you know that you died not in a head-to-head battle with Troy, but in the conspiracy of Paris. ”
"But the conspiracy will never last, and I will make the Trojans pay. ”
At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the assault camp, and before the Great Ajax could take a closer look, a man quickly ran in and said, "Prince Ajax, the Trojans have launched an attack on us. ”
Ajax was furious, and had just heard the news that the Trojans had killed his brother Thoclus, and was still in grief, and there was no place to vent his anger, and the Trojans themselves came to the door.
"Quick, put on my armor and bring me my spear. "Ajax hurriedly put on his armor, picked up his spear and rushed out, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the camp, he was met with a fierce fight.
"Die, despicable Trojans!"
Enraged, Ajax the Great rushed into the battle with his spear in his hand, and he spotted a ten-captain and stabbed his spear at him.
"Poof. The spear pierced through the chest of the ten masters at once, and blood gushed out like a spring of blood, and the ten masters did not understand what was going on at all, and as soon as their eyes were dark, they were killed immediately.
The Great Ajax, who had killed a Trojan centurion, was still resentful in his heart, and once again set his sights on a Trojan centurion who was fighting.
The centurion also saw that the Great Ajax had killed one of his own tens, so when he was targeted, he was also secretly on guard.
But the gap between the strength of ordinary people and heroes is too great, not to mention that Great Ajax is considered a powerful hero among many heroes, he pulled out his bloody spear and rushed all the way to kill it.
When the centurion saw that Ajax the Great was indeed rushing towards him, he did not panic, but made eye contact with several of his companions around him, and joined forces against the Greek who was rushing towards him.
It is also a means for ordinary people to deal with heroes.
Several soldiers and ten-necked soldiers gradually approached the centurion who was targeted by the Great Ajax, but when the Great Ajax rushed over, they realized that the original powerful hero was the main theme of this war.
With an indomitable momentum, the spear turned into a flash of lightning, and when the centurion couldn't react at all, he was stabbed in the heart by the centurion he was targeting.
At this time, the Trojan soldiers around the centurion came to their senses and stabbed the Great Ajax with their spears together.
The Great Ajax moved much faster than the soldiers.
Before the spear could reach the body of the Great Ajax, the Great Ajax pulled out the spear that had pierced the Trojan centurion, and the latter first blocked the attacking spears, and launched a counterattack against them under the incredulous eyes of several soldiers.
In less than a moment, the soldiers were killed by the Great Ajax.
"Fence it out. "Ajax the Great showed his might and killed the Trojan soldiers in a row, but the Trojans were no less numerous than the Greeks, after all, many city-states had joined the Trojans, and although he killed several Trojans, he did not change much of the situation on the battlefield.
At this moment, a blazing sun in the sky scorched the earth.
At the top of Mount Ida, Zeus was looking down on the battle between the Trojans and the Greeks from the top of the mountain, and he felt that the battle between the two sides at the moment was still not good, and it did not meet his expectations.
In order to make the battle more in line with his expectations, as the battle entered the white heat, Zeus took out the golden scale, he placed two death chips on both ends of the golden scale, and weighed them in the air.
Just listen to the "pop", only to see that the Greeks are tilting downward, while the Trojans are raised high into the sky.
"Oh, it seems that fate favored the Trojans this time. ”
"Boom!" Zeus immediately rained down on the Greek army with a bolt of lightning, announcing a change in their fate.
This omen intimidated the Greeks, and the heroes were discouraged.
The Trojans, on the other hand, gained great encouragement, and perhaps even gained strength, and with the blessing of this power, the Trojans seemed to have inexhaustible strength, and they shouted and killed, and the Greeks were no opponent at all, and they were defeated and retreated.
Diomedes saw that the Greek coalition was no match for the Trojans, roared angrily, and pounced on the Trojans, as if trying to reverse the decline of the Greeks with his bravery.
But his luck was not good, and as soon as he rushed out, he ran into Hector and Aeneas, who had just returned.
Hector's strength may be slightly worse than Diomedes, but now with the addition of one Aeneas, he can completely resist, and even Diomedes is in danger under the attack of the two.
On the other hand, Zeus's son Sarpedon fended off the angry Ajax the Great, and did not let him wantonly slaughter the Trojan soldiers.
The Greeks, under the attack of the Trojans, were already in a complete rout.
Mount Olympus
Hera saw the battle in the Greek camp through the red blood mist, and she was very anxious, but she could not intervene in this war herself, and she would definitely not dare to disobey what Zeus had already explained.
Hera then sought out Poseidon, the protector of the Greeks, in the hope that he would rescue the Greeks.
"Dear Poseidon, you see that the Greeks are completely unable to resist the attack of the Trojans, you are the protector of the Greeks, do you want to watch the Greeks lose this war?"
"No, Hera, although I don't want to see the Greeks defeat, I don't want to join casually either. "Poseidon's power is actually very close to Zeus, but he doesn't want to disobey Zeus's will casually.
Hera was helpless, knowing that Poseidon did not dare to disobey the will of his brother Zeus, so he had to give up.
By this time, the Greeks had been completely slaughtered into the camp by the Trojans, relying on the last line of defense, stubbornly resisting the swarming enemy, and praying bitterly for God's protection.
At this time, the gods who sheltered them did not seem to hear their prayers at all, and did not provide them with shelter, and they continued to shrink their defenses under the attack of the Trojans.
Hera heard the prayers of the Greeks again, and was very sympathetic to the plight of the Greeks, who had always been a god who supported the Greek camp, but at the moment she was powerless, and she felt extremely depressed.
Hera turned to Athena and said, "The Greeks are in danger, can we sit idly by?
When Hera said this, Hector in the Greek camp was indeed in a no-man's land, and no one could resist his attack, and the Greek soldiers fell in batches as if they were being cut under his attack.
Athena listened to Hera's words, and her heart was also full of grief, after all, she was also a god on the side of Greece, and when she saw what happened to the Greeks, how could she not sympathize with them?
"Our father was cruel. Athena said.
"He has forgotten how I rescued his son, Hercules, from danger. Now Thetis has won his favor with her gentleness and coquettishness, and he now hates me when he sees me. ”
"But I think everything will change, you help me strap on the horse, and I will persuade my father. Eventually, Athena decided to persuade Zeus to change his mind, even if Zeus didn't want to see her now.
Hera and Athena appeared on the top of Mount Ida together, Zeus foresaw that they would come, and he was very annoyed, he had made it clear that no god was allowed to intervene in the war between Troy and Greece this time, but Athena and Hera came here and still planned to persuade him, which made him feel that Athena and Hera were not obedient to his words.
Zeus said: "The Trojans will achieve an even greater victory." ”
This sentence seemed to be deliberately meant to be said to Athena and Hera, and this sentence also directly blocked the words of Athena and Hera, who were planning to persuade him, so that they could not open their mouths.
"The mighty Hector will drive the Greeks all the way to the stern of the ship, and in despair, the Greeks will re-invite the humiliated Achilles, which is the arrangement of the goddess of fate. ”
Zeus announced his "script" arrangement, which was determined not to accept anyone's persuasion.
Hera was silent, and she was now saddened.
Athena was also silent, she felt that Zeus's words were very straightforward, and no matter how much she said, it would not help.
It's just that in their hearts, both goddesses are angry with Achilles.
"Yes, that's it, hatred can weaken the blessings of Achilles' fate. Zeus thought to himself that at this time, the battle in the camp of the Greeks was becoming more and more intense, and the last line of defense of the Greeks was about to be breached.
