Chapter 537: The King of Kings

"Another prince has come into port. ”

The clear blue water lapped the side of the ship in waves, and the whole harbor was crowded with warships that had come to form an alliance, roughly estimated at no less than two hundred, and they were coming in a steady stream.

Although Palamedes, Odysseus, and Menelaus were appointed as emissaries, they were not immediately executed, because there was something more important - to elect the commander of the coalition forces in the presence of all the princes.

At this time the king of Rhodes, Telepolos, the king of Argos, Diomedes, the son of Telamon and Eripoia, Ajax the Great, and his half-brother, the famous archer Tecclos

Ajax the Younger, son of Orius of Lochris, Menastheus, king of Athens, Askafos, and Illmenos, sons of the god of war

Meges, the grandson of Ochias, king of Nelith, Telepormos, the son of Hercules, Diomedes, king of Argos, and so on, came.

Some differences from the script are that some small city-states did not come, while some princes who Paris visited and some doubts, brought fewer fleets.

There is also the fact that Achilles did not come, which is the real change for the script.

But no one cared about Achilles, and now this scale has surprised all the heroes, this is already an army of tens of thousands, which is an army that Greece has never seen before.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this time we formed a coalition to crusade against Troy, we can't do without a commander, we should elect a commander to better lead everyone to victory. Palamedes exclaimed that he had received Agamemnon's suggestion at the outset to make the proposal at the meeting of the alliance and see how it would react.

When Palamedes made this suggestion, there was silence in the room, and everyone remained silent, as if they did not care about the matter.

Odysseus looked at Palamedes' performance coldly, and smiled in his heart: "Palamedes, it is estimated that he received a lot of gold from Agamemnon. ”

Agamemnon hadn't expected the cold to fall, but he had been prepared, and he glanced at a certain part of the crowd.

Someone in the crowd immediately stood up: "I support Agamemnon as the commander of this coalition army, and there is no second person in the audience who can be convinced besides him." ”

When everyone looked over, it turned out to be Telepolomus, the son of Hercules on Rhodes.

With the approval of the first, there was the second, and Menelaus, king of Sparta, stood up: "I also agree with my brother Agamemnon as the commander of the coalition, without him, the whole of Greece would be a mess, and we would not have been able to take Troy." ”

"I agree. ”

"I support Agamemnon. The people who had just been silent expressed their support for Agamemnon as the commander of the coalition forces, and some people saw this situation and echoed it.

From the point of view of the gods, the commander of such a coalition cannot be held by non-descendants of Zeus.

From a national point of view, the most powerful country in Greece is now McKenny.

Although people don't like to have more than one person on top, the truth is that there is a need for a commander, and the most suitable one is Agamemnon.

Small kings and princes are not expected to serve.

Seeing that everyone was supportive, Agamemnon radiated and walked to the front of the stage: "Honorable kings and princes, thank you very much for your support to me, since you have chosen me to be the commander of the coalition forces, then I promise to lead you to victory in this crusade against Troy." ”

"Dear Commander Agamemnon, I don't know if you have a detailed plan for attacking Troy? As far as I know, Troy is a big country, and it has many allies, so I'm afraid that if we capture Troy by then, we will also suffer heavy losses. Little Ajax asked.

"Little Ajax asked well, I have a plan to attack Troy, I'll tell you about it first. ”

"First of all, I will concentrate superior forces to surround the city of Troy, and when the Trojan allies arrive, I will divide a part of my forces to break and destroy its allies one by one, and finally gather the strength of the entire coalition to capture Troy in one fell swoop without strong reinforcements from Troy. ”

Agamemnon told everyone how he would lead the coalition army to capture Troy as the commander-in-chief, and to be honest, this plan was decent, that is, the simplest encirclement point to send reinforcements, and to crush the enemy in front of him with absolute strength, but it was safe.

"What are you going to do if the allied attack on Troy is thwarted?" Odysseus asked.

"With the strength of our Greek coalition, there is no possibility of setbacks, and besides, we still have so many great heroes. Agamemnon said proudly.

"Before the battle, we should think about what to do in case of defeat, this is what a commander should do, with our long journey, the supply of food and grass is not smooth, in case of setback, we will not be able to hold out for too long. Odysseus didn't seem to want to go to the battlefield in such a daze, and insisted on breaking the casserole to ask the truth.

"King Odysseus, you are also a great hero, when you understand the role of a legendary hero on the battlefield, if you really encounter setbacks in Troy, I should be the first to stand up, lead our many heroes and warriors, and take the city of Troy, I believe that no one in Troy has been able to stop the attack of so many of our legendary heroes. ”

Agamemnon said confidently, what he said is indeed a fact, in this world, legendary heroes can control the battlefield, a legendary hero's force is too high, not to mention that there are many heroes of the Greek coalition.

"That's right, we have so many troops and heroes that Troy can't resist. ”

"Agamemnon still has a lot of skill, and he is indeed qualified to be the commander. The heroes present are all robbers among bandits, warriors among warriors, experienced in a hundred battles, naturally understand this, the atmosphere gradually warmed up, and looking at Agamemnon's eyes gradually changed.

But at this moment, someone shouted, "Agamemnon is the king of kings!"

When the kings and princes heard this, they hurriedly searched, but found that this man did not know who it was, and they couldn't help but look at each other, and the enthusiasm of many people cooled down, and their faces were unhappy.

It's just a matter of being the commander of the coalition forces, is it possible that you really want to be our king?

Odysseus glanced at Agamemnon: "King of kings?" ”

When Agamemnon heard that someone called him King of kings, the first thing he did was not to push back, but to rejoice.

He raised the scepter in his hand and stood on the high platform to watch the many heroes, all of whom were kings and princes of the Greek kingdoms, and now they were all obeying his commands, and Agamemnon even had the illusion that the whole world was in my hands.

"Agamemnon, King of kings. Agamemnon muttered, and the hand that grasped the scepter harder.

Mount Olympus

It is a sacred mountain and a huge garden, rare and rare in the outside world, where the gods sit in a temple and in the middle of a thick cloud that shows the pomp and circumstance of the Greek heroes of Orris.

When Agamemnon became the commander of the entire Greek coalition, the gods were indifferent, anticipating it, and continued to feast, for the gods, the wine was white, which was the liquid that made mortals immortal, and the dishes were similar, and the goddess of youth Heber kept pouring them full.

And God does not have such a thing as feces and urine, drinking and eating, it turns into power, and is completely absorbed by God, bit by bit seems insignificant, but over time, it is not considered "chicken ribs"!

Legend has it that this wine made the gods immortal and youthful, and it was believed that, like the Garden of Asaph, the gods relied on the wine of youth, and if they lost it, they would grow old...... This is actually false, the gods have their own source and do not need it to sustain life and youth.

This is only "public expense", which can only be enjoyed by those who have an official godship—behold, Hercules, is not blessed to enjoy this treatment (Note 1).

The gods were careless, and suddenly they heard someone shouting Agamemnon, the king of kings, and Agamemnon also raised his scepter to show it, and the sound of the gods talking disappeared at once, and the whole temple, even the sound of pouring wine, disappeared.

"King of kings?"

Agamemnon held the scepter, the image of the spirit was frozen in the clouds, the gods had a strange mentality, and couldn't help but look at each other, this is the title of Zeus (Zeus), Agamemnon dared to call it so, is he not afraid of divine punishment?

Everyone looked at Zeus, who was sitting in the middle, but Zeus's face did not change much at this moment, and his expression was unfathomable.

After a while, the hall was bustling with activity, and the gods did not express their opinions on it, but exchanged their anecdotes with each other.

After a while, Athena leaned over to Hera and whispered: "Venerable Hera, Achilles has not come, the gap between the Greeks and the Trojans is not too great, do we still need to fight Agamemnon?"

"Agamemnon is a descendant of our fearsome gods, enjoying the greatest riches on earth, and this time he is qualified to be the commander of the coalition forces. ”

"But now it seems that he is too complacent to be allowed to do so—O Agamemnon, whether you will continue to be arrogant and not fear the gods, or whether you will come to your senses and do not transgress, your life is in between this thought. Hera said, glanced at Zeus, saw that he did not say a word, and already had an idea in his heart, turned to Artemis and said, "Agamemnon's affairs, you will take care of it." ”

Artemis looked at Zeus, saw that it didn't speak, looked at Hera again, nodded, her divine power was far above Apollo, and this cleanup did not hurt her foundation, so her position was relatively calm, not as anxious as Apollo.

But when Hera had spoken, she nodded her head in agreement.

Zeus looked at the cloud in the middle, did not speak, and thought to himself: "Agamemnon, you are my descendant, not within the scope of cutting, originally I would protect you to return to Greece safely, so that you can enjoy glory and old age, but now your ambition has brought disaster for you." ”

Zeus is the king of the gods, and not saying a word is not without an opinion, sometimes it is a kind of acquiescence.
