Chapter 558: The Death of Philoctetes

The banquet of the Greek coalition lasted for a long time, and everyone got up and left after they were full of food and drink.

This banquet to celebrate the shooting and wounding of Kukonos by Philoctetes swept away the gloom of the Greek coalition for a long time, and it was a good boost to the morale of the army.

At the end of the meeting, Carcas stood next to Odysseus, looking at the back of Philoctetes, who was gradually moving away, and was a little excited: "For Philoctetes, I feel a little guilty!"

Odysseus did not seem to understand this sentence of Carcas, and asked, "Venerable Calcas, what guilt do you have?"

Calcas glanced at Odysseus slightly, and said, "Odysseus, King of Itake, a wise man favored by the gods, do you need to talk about this? ”

"Dear Calcas, how stupid I am, I didn't understand what you meant. Odysseus said, knowing it in his heart, but he still said that he really didn't understand anything.

Calcas looked at him again, shook his head, and said, "Odysseus, King Itake, you are too good at disguise. ”

"Although Philoctetes was abandoned by you on a desert island, and lived a hard life, at least he did not have to worry about his life, and he can return to his hometown in the future, and now that he has killed Kuknos, the son of the great god of the sea, Poseidon, do you think he can return to his hometown of Ota?"

Philoctetes was only protected by his friend Hercules, but a man who had become a god could not fight Poseidon at all.

So when Philoctetes came out of the desert island, his fate was already predestined.

Odysseus was silent about this, he could not change Calcas's opinion, and he did not want to offend Hercules by speaking, but he offended Philoctetes too deeply, and he could only be at ease when he died.

Moreover, it was God's idea to ask him to come to Troy to help the Greeks deal with Kuknos, and it had nothing to do with himself.

Carcas looked at Odysseus' expression, understood his thoughts, and said, "Odysseus, you will have no friends like this. ”

After saying that, he turned around and left, without saying a word.

Odysseus stood still, speechless.

Fog

Philoctetes walked forward in the gray mist, he didn't know why he was here, and how long he walked, but he felt that the fog would never end, and just when he was discouraged and about to give up, the fog cleared and suddenly opened up in front of him.

Looking up, Philoctetes was shocked to find that this was his hometown of Mount Ota.

Why did you return to your hometown?

Although Philoctetes misses his homeland, he also knows that he is currently fighting in Troy, and it is not the time to return to his homeland.

Now that he had returned to his hometown, Philoctetes planned to go back and see.

He raised his feet and walked in the direction of Mount Ota, but after walking for a long time, the distance of Mount Ota in the distance did not shorten, but felt farther and farther away.

Philoctetes couldn't help but panic a little, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation, but he did not give up, raised his feet and continued to walk forward.

As soon as he took a step forward, the scene in front of him changed again, and he saw an open space in front of him, and there was a firewood pile in the clearing.

What surprised him even more was that his friend Hercules was standing in the middle of the pyre.

"Hercules, my dear friend, have you not become a god, why are you still on Mount Ota?" said Philoctetes.

Hercules did not answer Philoctetes, and stood in the middle of the pyre.

Suddenly the firewood burned, and Hercules stood motionless in the middle of the burning pyre.

Philoctetes was a little anxious, such a big fire, don't burn to death, he shouted the name of Hercules, but Hercules was still indifferent.

After another moment, I don't know where the wind and waves hit, although the firewood was not extinguished, there was sea water everywhere.

At this moment, Hercules, who was covered in fire, suddenly opened his mouth and said to Philoctetes: "My friend Philoctetes, I will come to pick you up. ”

Philoctetes was startled and awoke to find himself still in the tent, a battle-hardened hero, and felt that this was an ominous omen.

"Who told me the dream, and what did you want to tell me?"

"What does Hercules want to say? I should find a prophet, especially Kalkas, who will answer my questions. ”

But by this time it was already light, and there was a cacophony outside, and it was heard that the Trojans had attacked the camp again.

"How can it be justified? Philoctetes thought.

I killed Kukonos a few days ago, and I thought that Trojan fever would be honest for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be a long time, and I came to attack the camp again.

Thinking of this, Philoctetes could no longer sit still and get dressed, and as soon as he came out of the camp, he saw a group of soldiers running towards the gate of the camp with weapons.

Philoctetes took up his arms and rushed to the door with the soldiers.

At this time, the Trojans had already entered the camp, but because there was no Kuknos, it was not deep enough to enter the camp, and the situation was not as dangerous as last time.

This time, the two sides fought hotly and in a glue state.

Philoctetes found his friend Cleodorus on the battlefield and said, "Hey, my venerable friend Cleodorus, I am going to shoot dark arrows at the despicable Trojans, will you help me get the arrows?"

"Gladly. Cleodorus said, of course he was willing to help Philoctetes deliver arrows, fighting with spears on the battlefield, after all, there was still a risk, and helping Philoctetes deliver arrows was very low, and he agreed to Philoctetes' request without even thinking about it.

Philoctetesus took an arrow from Cleodorus, mounted it, and aimed it at one of the Trojan Decor on the battlefield.

"Phew. ”

The arrows of the bow and arrows were shot at the Captain of Ten at great speed, who was struggling to kill.

"Poof. "The Captain never expected a cold arrow to attack on the battlefield, and the arrow hit the Captain in the throat and killed him with one blow.

Philoctetes had a smug smile on his face, apparently pleased with the results of his archery.

After a short time, he took the arrow from Kleodorus again, bent his bow and arrow, and fired an arrow at the unsuspecting Trojan Commander in the distance.

"Poof. ”

Another arrow hit the eye socket of the ten-master, who would not die for a while and a half, and rolled on the ground in pain, in a terrible condition.

In this way, Philoctetes, relying on the power of his bow and arrow, shot more than a dozen Trojan commanders on the battlefield in succession, causing confusion among the Trojans who were close to an area.

Pei Ziyun discovered the abnormality, but because he was far away, he didn't rush over for a while.

At this time, with a bronze sword in his hand and a bow and arrows on his back, he hurried towards Philoctetes, who had just arrived in the area and discovered him.

Philoctetes was deeply impressed by Prince Paris, who had killed several heroes of the Greek coalition in a row, and he found Pei Ziyun's traces at this time, so he couldn't let it go.

"My dear friend, hand me the poisoned arrow, and I will shoot the abominable Paris, who is the root of all evil. ”

Philoctetes didn't shoot arrows soaked in the poisonous blood of the hydra Xudra every time, and against the ten-captain and centurion, they were all ordinary arrows, and when he saw Paris, he was about to use poisoned arrows, but before he shouted, he suddenly heard a muffled snort.

Philoctetes turned his head and found that Cleodorus, who was handing him a poisoned arrow, had an arrow stuck in his shoulder, and he couldn't help but be furious.

The despicable prince of Troy, who had shot an arrow and wounded his friend, swore that he would not spare the odious prince Paris.

Cleodorus was shot by an arrow, stepped back a little, and defended himself with a spear from being shot again.

Although Cleodorus had taken decisive steps to protect himself, he had misestimated the horrors of Paris's archery.

"Phew. Another arrow pierced the sky and struck Kleodorus.

Cleodorus found that the spear in his hand did not work at all, because the arrow was so fast that he could only watch as the arrow entered his heart.

"Poof. Blood flowed from the heart of Cleodorus, staining the earth red in an instant, and the body fell to the ground.

One arrow kills, and the power is terrifying.

Philoctetes saw all this, and was furious, not expecting that the prince of Paris would shoot his friend under his nose, so he immediately picked up the poisoned arrow, drew his bow and arrows, stretched the bowstring, and shouted: "Die, Paris." ”

The arrow shot out with a "whoosh", the speed was very fast, and it shot towards Pei Ziyun like lightning.

Pei Ziyun shot Kleodorus, who handed the arrow to Philoctetes, and was already on guard against the arrow shot by Philoctetes, when the arrow struck, and he moved half of his body to narrowly avoid the attack of Philoctetes' poisoned arrows.

But Pei Ziyun didn't want to give Philoctetes a second chance to shoot arrows, he quickly bent his bow and reflexed, and the whole movement was smooth without a trace of hindrance.

"Poof. An arrow struck Philoctetes in the center of his eyebrow, and his face was still full of astonishment, as if he could not believe that Prince Paris had surpassed him in archery.

"Bang. The body of Philoctetes fell to the ground and slammed into the ground, sending up a puff of smoke.

According to the rules of this era, the murderer can strip off the clothes and weapons of the deceased, especially the divine bow of Hercules, Pei Ziyun still remembers that it was this bow that finally gave Prince Paris his life, so he immediately pounced and took it.

Several Greeks roared angrily and were about to pounce, but Pei Ziyun stepped forward with a spear, killed several people in a row, and snatched the corpses to the chariot.

"Killing Philoctetes is already a reward in itself, and I don't want to return the Divine Bow. Pei Ziyun thought about it, and just raised his hand in thanks: "Gods, thank you, Kuknos, look, I have avenged you." ”
