Hearing Agamemnon place the blame on Zeus, fate, and the goddess of vengeance, Thetis and her sisters were stunned, a little incredulous that Agamemnon was saying these words in full view.

Thetis thought to herself, though she was sad in her heart, "Agamemnon, though my son is short, your days are numbered. ”

"How can you show your innocence by imputing sin to the gods?"

Agamemnon is tantamount to digging his own grave, and the gods will be disgusted.

"Now, you are the commander, and the gods will not do anything to you, but when you are no longer the commander, you will be punished, and I have seen your death. ”

Agamemnon's words are not suitable for direct words at any time, and it can only be said that now in order to clear up his own mistakes, in order to make Achilles more satisfied with the battle, he has no choice of words.

When Achilles heard that Agamemnon was going to give me a gift, he did not approve or object, and his current mind was actually only to avenge his good friend Patroclus, and he didn't care much about Agamemnon's gift, he replied: "Son of Atreus, it is up to you to decide whether you want to give me the gift or not, and I am more eager to go to war and fight in good conscience." ”

"Only by killing Hector can my friend be buried with dignity. ”

The cunning Odysseus had been observing the development of events, and he knew that Achilles could not be absent from this war, and Agamemnon's role was irreplaceable, so he immediately stood up and suggested: "Achilles, please give everyone a little time, let everyone carry out the funeral of the heroes and soldiers, Agamemnon can send gifts during this time, and give you a grand banquet in the big camp." ”

Odysseus's words, which are reasonable, really need to arrange the funerals of these heroes and soldiers.

It turned out that the corpses of these heroes and soldiers were seized, and there was no way, and now Prince Paris has cleaned them up and sent them back, if they are not buried first, then in the eyes of others, there is no outsider's intention to treat their own corpses.

"You're right, Odysseus. ”

Agamemnon fully affirmed Odysseus's words, Odysseus has always stood on his side, as long as there is something happening, Odysseus will be the first to give advice, or wait for an opportunity to solve it, so he has always regarded Odysseus as his right-hand man.

Agamemnon cried out, "Greeks, you think, that the Trojans have demanded a truce and a burial, and you can see that the Trojans are already threatened with extinction!"

"Find a bull, sacrifice to the great Zeus, then proceed with the funeral, let the soldiers help, cut down the trees, dig the grave. ”

Everyone agreed to this, so Agamemnon arranged for soldiers to go to the forest to cut down trees, collect firewood, and then put them together and pile them into a pyre, and ordinary citizens were cremated collectively and buried collectively, which was relatively safe.

But heroes and princes need not only cremation, but also solemn burials, which must be buried in order for the dead to rest in peace, or the soul will not enter the realm of Hades.

However, in order to remove the ashes and give them to the children of the fallen when they return home, the remains are packed into a box made of gold and silver for later removal.

After giving all this orders, Agamemnon looked at Achilles and said, "Brave Achilles, you can personally select a group of able-bodied young men from among the sergeants and let them carry gifts on my ship. ”

Almost all of Agamemnon's booty was placed on the ships, and after the last time the barracks were breached, his booty would not be in the barracks, and if the Trojans broke through the camp again, all the booty would be lost.

Agamemnon arranged for a group of people to build altars and sacrifice to the gods, and whenever there were heroes who needed to be buried, they had to arrange altars and sacrifices to the gods.

In this way, the soul of the hero can be safeguarded.

After saying this, he said to his herald, "Herald Tartipios, go and fetch a bull, as we have just said, to sacrifice to Zeus and Apollo." ”

Although Agamemnon had just put the blame on Zeus, fate, and the goddess of vengeance, it was subconscious, and the sacrifice to the gods would not be forgotten.

The herald, Tartipios, quickly went down as Agamemnon had instructed, and soon brought a bull with him.

The bull had lost some fat from the war, and was not as fat as it had been when it was first raised here, but this did not affect the sacrifice to the gods.

On the makeshift altar, the boar was slaughtered by the priests of the army and sacrificed to Zeus and Apollo, but no one took it, but this did not attract much attention.

Because the gods do not take it, it is the norm.

Only the Greek prophet Calcas, looking at it and shaking his head, thought to himself, "Son of Atreus, what did you just say?"

"Although you are the descendants of the great Zeus, the sins of the Tantalus family are so great, even you have committed new sins, if you were not the commander of the Greek army, the divine curse would have come down, right?"

Agamemnon was a member of the family Tantalus, the son of Zeus, who was at first favored by the gods, but then Tantalus became arrogant and killed his son Pelops to feed the gods, and the gods were furious, so the family received a poisonous curse.

The gods resurrected Pelops and gave birth to three sons, the eldest of whom was Atreus and Tiestes, both of whom were jealous of their youngest brother and killed him, the second curse on the Tantalus family.

Then Atreus got married, found that his wife had slept with his brother Tiestes, invited him to a banquet, killed his brother's son, and stewed it to his brother, which was the third curse of Tantalus.

Agamemnon was a member of this glorious and sinful family, and now he has sinned against the gods.

It's just that last time Calcas was on Achilles' side, he had already offended Agamemnon, so naturally he wouldn't say it, just be silent.

It was not long before the soldiers brought a large number of gifts from Agamemnon's ship, which were trophies that Agamemnon had treasured for a long time, including gold, bronze, agate, spices, and so on.

Agamemnon looked at these gifts, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes, but in order to win this war, he had to contribute them.

Agamemnon pointed to these gifts and said to Achilles, "Great hero, Achilles, this is all a gift to you to make up for my mistakes, and I hope you will accept it." ”

Achilles looked at Agamemnon with complicated eyes, did not embarrass him, and said: "Son of Atreus, I feel your heart, I will accept your gift, completely forget the unhappiness of the past, and work together to build a powerful Greek coalition." ”

Achilles' words undoubtedly made Agamem very happy, and he made all these concessions, wasn't it just for Achilles to put aside his old grudges and rejoin the war against the Trojans?

Now hearing Achilles say this, Agamemnon breathed a sigh of relief.

Agamemnon's conversation with Achilles made it clear to those around him that the Greeks were about to usher in a new era, and that the conflict between the commander and the mighty hero had been temporarily resolved.

And in the face of the fact that the Greeks were united in their hatred of the enemy, the Trojans would not be able to resist.

"Everyone, let us welcome with the warmest cheers the return of Achilles, the greatest hero of Greece. ”

"Together, I promise that we will never again suffer the defeat of the past, and that we will surely show the vile Trojans that the great Greek is invincible, and that even if he sometimes falls into a bad state, he will surely come out quickly and defeat all enemies. ”

"The Greeks will win. The crowd cheered and shouted for the return of Achilles and for the coming victory.

Now that the matter had been settled, they took their leave.

Achilles carried the bed back, on which Patroclus lay quietly as if he were asleep.

Achilles looked at it for a long time before he said to the invisible Thetis: "Mother, my heart is about to break when I look at the corpse of Patroclus, and I have decided that I must kill Hector." ”

Now killing Hector has become an obsession in Achilles' heart, and Hector must be killed.

"But the armor that God has given to our family, which would have made me invincible, has now been taken by Hector, and I now need new armor. ”

Achilles knew that it would be difficult to defeat Hector without good armor, after all, that armor was made by the gods and was difficult to break.

Achilles had to ask the god's mother, Thetis, to obtain armor comparable to that armor, so that he could have the confidence to defeat Hector on the battlefield and avenge Patroclus.

"O my poor child. ”

Thetis was sad in her heart, she knew that Achilles killing Hector was a countdown to life, but she saw that Achilles was determined, and knew that it was useless to persuade him, this was the arrangement of fate.

"On the morning of the third day, at sunrise, I will bring you weapons and armor forged by Hephaestus' own hands. ”

"You have to remember, though, that you must not go to battle until I return. ”

Thetis instructed Achilles that although Achilles, who had no armor and weapons of the gods, was very powerful, he was not necessarily the opponent of Hector, who wore the armor of the gods and held the weapons of the gods.

"I will, Mother. Achilles said.

After saying this, Thetis beckoned her sister to sink back to the bottom of the sea, while she herself flew to the sacred mountain of Olympus in search of Hephaestus, the god of craftsmen.

Not to mention this, Pei Ziyun, who returned to Troy, felt that there was no god watching at this time, so he shouted: "System!"

A plum quickly appeared in front of him, and quickly enlarged, changing into a data frame with a faint sense of light.

"Heroic Bloodline: Tier 5 (358.6%)"

"Mission: Return the corpses of Patroclus, exchange the corpses of each other's fallen heroes, and give each other a decent funeral (completed)"

Pei Ziyun looked at the system and pondered: "I killed seven heroes in front of me, and I reached the middle of the eighth layer, and I killed four more heroes yesterday, so I can at least rise to the ninth layer." ”

"I've surpassed Hector. ”

At the moment, he asked: "How many layers of Achilles." ”

"Ten floors. ”

"Ten floors? is just one step away from entering the realm of gods? No wonder you want to kill him. Pei Ziyun thought about it, and pressed the task heavily: "There is 1 more fate point, it is now 21 points, and it is only 4 points away from the promulgation of the oracle, only with the promulgation of this oracle, can I be legally promoted." ”

"Now, where do I go to find a task?"
