The Palace of Mount Olympus Hephaestus

"Thetis, look. "In the early hours of the fourth day, before the chariot of the sun was driven out by Helios, Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen, led Thetiss into the room and pointed to the table.

Thetis looked at it and immediately held her breath, even if it was a goddess, this was a brilliant weapon.

Thetis has also suffered for the past three days and three nights, worrying about Achilles' safety all the time, and whether this newly created armor can make Achilles invincible.

But at this time, when Hephaestus showed this armor, even she was amazed by the ingenuity of the armor, and she knew that this armor would surely make her child Achilles invincible in the last moments of his life.

Looking at Thetis's expression, Hephaestus smiled with satisfaction, this is the armor, helmet, shield and weapon that he has worked hard to build in front of the furnace for three days and three nights.

"Take it, honorable goddess, time is running out, give it to your son as soon as possible!"

"Thank you very much, Hephaestus. Thetis was a little gloomy, this armor brought glory to her son, but also brought death.

However, she thanked Hephaestus profusely, took the armor, and left Olympus.

She was extremely fast and did not stop on the road, and soon reached the Greek camp, and when she entered the camp, she also hid her armor, and only when she reached the Achilles barracks did she re-reveal her armor.

At this time, Achilles was sitting quietly in the barracks alone, and in front of him was the body of Patroclus, sitting alone in contemplation.

Achilles was not aware of Thetis's arrival, and his thoughts had already reached the clouds.

All the heroes and soldiers in the camp were buried, and now only Patroclus was left unburied, and Achilles was determined to kill Hector to bury him.

But yesterday he fell asleep, and dreamed that poor Patroclus approached and said, "Achilles, have you slept? Have you forgotten me? Build me a tomb, and I want to enter the realm of Hades through the gates of the underworld." ”

"But there were two ghost guards there, and they threatened me not to let me come closer. Because I have not been cremated and buried in the ground, my soul has no rest. ”

Patroclus' ghost wanted to say something, but God kept him speechless, and Achilles, seeing his pained expression, stretched out his hands to Patroclus, but it disappeared like smoke.

"I swear, I will do as you ask, but please bear with me, Hector will not die for a day, how can I let you go alone?" Achilles muttered.

"My son!" Thetis looked at all this, and with a sigh of sorrow, she gently walked over and placed her armor in front of him, her exquisite armor and weapons shining with dazzling brilliance.

The entire shield is five-layered, and the shield is painted with the earth, sea, sky, sun, moon, and stars, and the armor shines brighter than the flames, and the golden feather armor also shines.

All of these features indicate that this armor and weapons are rare treasures in the world.

Although the soldiers outside the barracks could not see the goddess, they trembled at the sight of these armors, as if they were facing the most terrible thing in the world.

Achilles looked at the armor brought by his mother, Thetis, and his eyes still had tears of nostalgia for his friend, but they were already shining with joy.

He picked up Hephaestus's elaborate armor, and held them up in the air one by one to examine them carefully, and he couldn't help but let go of them.

"With it, I will be able to defeat Hector on the battlefield. Achilles put the armor on his body one by one, slowly tightened it, and the armor was put on his body, and it fit perfectly, and it was tailor-made—in fact, it was the armor that God had customized for him.

He picked up his weapon and shield again, and put on a helmet with golden feathers.

After putting on the whole set of armor, Achilles's whole person was dazzling, shiny and dazzling, and it was intoxicating.

Achilles said to Patroclus' body: "O Patroclus, with this armor I will avenge you by killing Hector." ”

Then he said to Thetis, "Thank you very much, my beloved mother, for sending me this armor in time, with which I will kill Hector, the hero of Troy. ”

"My child, you wear this armor, but if you leave here today, you will face your destiny. ”

"Mother, I don't care if I avenge Patroclus, as long as I can kill Hector, even if I am now punished by fate. ”

After Achilles finished speaking, he turned and strode out, and did not continue to talk to Thetis, today is the day of battle, and he must immediately gather his troops and take them with him.

When Achilles went out, Thetis couldn't stop her tears, she knew that as soon as Achilles went out, the gears of fate had turned rapidly, and death was waiting ahead.

Although she had expected that she would face this situation sooner or later, but now that fate had really come, she couldn't help but cry.

There was no way she could stop Achilles, and she would be powerless about what happened next, and she could only leave it to fate.

Achilles strode out of the barracks, calling out to the heroes and soldiers of Greece in a thunderous voice.

"Brave warriors of Greece, follow me in the battle against Troy, and I will lead you to defeat the Trojans, and make them understand that the Greeks are invincible. ”

"Victory. ”

"Victory. ”

The surrounding Greeks shouted and cheered, and they rejoiced in the mighty hero Achilles, feeling that with Achilles' leadership, they would definitely be able to win this war.

The many Greek soldiers who had been driven out of the camp were like the tide, and other heroes and princes came out of the barracks, ready to go.

Agamemnon led many Greek heroes and soldiers ready to fight, and this battle, with Achilles joining, was full of confidence.

When Otto Meton saw Achilles coming, he put on the gods Masantos and Balios, with an elite army behind them.

When he went to sea that year, there were fifty warships, each with fifty warriors, and Ottomedon jumped into the chariot and personally served as the chariot driver, and Achilles jumped up and stood at Ottomedon's side.

At this time, Achilles was dressed in a dazzling armor, with stars shining on it, and the earth, the sea, and the sky reflected each other on his shield.

The people around looked at Achilles at this time like a god, and his majestic appearance made the surrounding soldiers dazzled.

"Gods, you can come back by yourself. Achilles called to his father's horse and said, "Please bring home the heroes who fought today." ”

The god horse was born to the woman bird Podarge and the god of Zephyr, and the god gave it to Achilles' father Peleus, who left it to his son, who was an old horse who had experienced countless battlefield battles, and with the help of this god horse, Achilles hoped that these heroes could come back intact.

As he spoke, God had shown a bad omen: God Masantos buried his head deeply, and his mane fluttered and hung on the ground.

With the ability to speak bestowed upon it by the goddess Hera, it replied: "O great Achilles, we have taken you to the battlefield today, and we have brought you back alive and in good condition." ”

Santos's speech did not confuse everyone, because this horse had the ability to fight in the past, and this was the horse that Peleus used to kill the enemy before, and many people knew its ability to speak.

"But the day of your destruction is also approaching, and Patroclus's defeat is not that we are slow, we can be as fast as the fastest Aeolus Zefiro, and we will not get tired. ”

What the god horse said seemed to bring some boasting, although its speed was fast, and it was the fastest among all horses, but it was impossible to keep up with the speed of the wind god.

"It was the divine will that killed Patroclus, and the goddess of fate decided that you would be killed by a hero under the blow of a god. ”

The faces of the surrounding heroes and soldiers changed dramatically, and when it was about to continue, the goddess of revenge stopped its mouth in time.

However, its prophecy had made the faces of the Greeks who had not yet set out a little unnatural, but it was difficult to say whether it was sadness or joy.

Achilles listened to the prophecy of the god Santos, and his heart was filled with grief and anguish, and he said, "Santos, why did you tell me about death? I don't need your prophecy. ”

"I know I'm going to be doomed here, but as long as I'm on the battlefield and don't kill countless Trojans, I won't die. ”

After Achilles finished speaking, he roared, and the sound shook his eardrums, Otto Medon was his friend and his master, and immediately knew what it meant, and with a flick of the reins, he drove the divine horse and made the chariot move quickly in the direction of Troy.

All the heroes and soldiers of Troy followed Achilles towards the city of Troy.

Almost at the same time, the gates of Troy were wide open, and chariots continued to pour out of the city, followed by groups of Trojan soldiers.

At the head of these chariots was Hector, who was wearing a helmet and shining all over, and his eyes were now shining at the camp of the Greeks, and the chariot was also speeding away.

Looking at this situation, it is likely that the two sides will collide in the middle of the Troy and Greek camps, where the terrain is open and suitable for large-scale battles.

"The brave warriors of Troy, preceded by the arrogant Greeks, who will destroy our city-state, take away our wives and children, rob us of our wealth, kill our parents and mothers—today is the time for us to fight to the death, and Troy will win. ”

"Victory. "The shouts and shouts of the Trojan warriors soared into the sky.
