Chapter 627: Battle at Night
When Promise came to the palace again, the Trojans were still drinking. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Promise couldn't understand why these Trojans were so fond of alcohol, as if they couldn't live without it.
They are so fond of drinking that they should believe in the god of wine. If it weren't for their carelessness and excessive drinking, there would be no allusion to the thousands of years of Trojan horse slaughter.
Promise stepped into the hall and found Hector, who was already reddish-faced.
"We must attack immediately, tonight." After taking Hector to a no-man's land, he promised not to say any more nonsense, but directly pointed to the subject: "There are already people among the gods on Mount Olympus who are ready to intervene directly in this war." By tomorrow daylight, it will be too late. ”
The promise was made after hearing Athena's announcement. Now that the gods have decided to come forward directly, there is no need for the promise to remain hidden. All he had to do now was to quickly complete his mission, defeat the Greek army, and kill Achilles at the same time.
As long as the task can be completed, then the next promise will be invincible.
Of course, it is possible to do this with the power of the promise itself. However, it must take a long time, and attract the gods to come forward directly. Therefore, the promise came to the idea of bringing all the Trojans with him and crushing the Greek army in a frontal battle.
Promise to go alone, and when the gods come forward, they only need to deal with him alone.
But if the entire Trojan army followed, would the gods still have to attack the entire Trojan army? Although he did not know the exact reason, he understood that the gods, whether in the East or the West, could hardly attack humans directly.
"How is that possible?!" Hector, who was still drunk, came to his senses in an instant. A pair of eyes flashed in the night, a sharp cold light, "How do you know?" ”
"Would you believe me if I said that a god had just come and told me?" Xu Promise knew that time was precious, and he could not find a reason to convince the shrewd and capable prince in front of him in a short time, so he had to tell the truth.
"I believe it." Hector nodded, his expression solemn, "You are surrounded by divine power. It's obviously the traces left by direct contact with the gods. I had been blessed by the sun god Apollo, so I was able to perceive these powers. ”
Xu Yu was slightly stunned, he really didn't expect Hector to be so keen. Even he knew that he had been in contact with the gods.
Seeing that the promise was a little stunned, Hector smiled, "I noticed it in the morning, and you are surrounded by the divine power of Venus, the goddess of love. And when I got back to the city, I saw Briseis, who didn't serve you last night. After you left, there were also divine power fluctuations on the other side of the garden. Now there is still a faint layer of divine power around you. If I'm not mistaken, I told you that these gods are Athena, the goddess of war? ”
"Hmm." At this moment, Xu Promise suddenly felt that the world really couldn't underestimate anyone. Hector may not be as strong as himself, but his keen observation is surprising.
"Since it was Athena who said it, it must be true." Hector nodded, "I'll go and gather the army now." ”
"Wait a minute." The promise that was originally a little eager stopped Hector directly at this time, and asked suspiciously, "You believe me so much?" Believe Athena's words? ”
"You are the hero who saved Troy, and Athena is the god who saved humanity." Hector smiled like a sunny smile, "I believe in you. ”
Hector was the next king of Troy, the commander of the army, the first prince and the first warrior. The entire army of Troy was commanded by him, and his position was very revered.
If he had personally gathered the army, even if there was opposition, no one would have been able to stop him from going out of the city to fight unless Hector's father, the king of Troy, had personally intervened.
And the old king of Troy is also an old man who has experienced many major events. Possess great wisdom and insight. If Hector had made up his mind to go out of the city to fight at this time, the king would never have objected to his heir.
"If." When Hector turned to leave, he was about to enter the main hall. "I mean, what would you do if one of the gods who joined the Greeks this time and prepared to deal with Troy had the sun god among them?" ”
Hector's footsteps suddenly stopped.
Xu Promise felt a powerful aura burst out of Hector's body almost instantly, and the aura was extremely powerful.
Hector stood outside the main hall and did not look back, nor did he continue on his way. The broad, sturdy shoulders seemed to tremble slightly. An indescribable dullness began to brew, as if even the noisy sound of drinking in the hall not far away had gradually faded away.
After a moment of silence, Hector whispered, "We beg the gods for protection, not to give everything to the gods. I don't know what others think, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to protect my family and country! No matter who the opponent is! ”
Compared with the three armies of the brave crown, the famous Achilles. Hector, who can be literate and martial, is even better. And he was very conscious, he knew exactly what he wanted, and he didn't blindly give everything to the powerful gods.
Humans beg the gods because they want their help and protection. Rather than really wanting to give everything they have to the gods, there are not many people in that world who are willing to give everything they have.
Watching Hector walk firmly into the palace hall, the promise quietly dissipated the energy condensed in his body.
If Hector had shown his willingness to side with Apollo just now, he would not hesitate to make a move. In order to be able to accomplish the task, any force that dares to stand in his way will be ruthlessly destroyed by the promise of it.
Whether it's a human being, or a god.
The belief that he promised to go home was too strong, and no matter what kind of opponent he faced, he would not hesitate or fear in the slightest.
Hector's powerful power was on full display at this moment. Even though many people objected, he still managed to get the authorization to send troops, so that he could justifiably gather his army and prepare to go out of the city to fight.
Humans in this era were very strong because of the difficult living environment. Therefore, human beings who can live to adulthood are basically strong. And this era worships force very much, after all, it is the era of classical militarism. Despite the scarcity of supplies, humans were able to hunt large quantities from the wild to replenish their meat food.
The wildlife of this era was extremely abundant, and the human population was far less terrifying than that of later generations. For example, at this time, this kind of melee of tens of thousands of people is already called epic.
As a result, strong humans are able to hunt for enough food supplements. And with the supply of meat and fat, there was almost no night blindness among the soldiers of this era. This also provided the basis for night operations.
The moonlight is hazy, and the ground is full of brilliance.
'Huh~~Zi~~~' With the screeching sound of the deadbolt hinge, the sturdy gates of Troy City were slowly opened.
In the depths of the night, the moonlight shone onto the ground, reflecting the figures of the sturdy soldiers on the ground.
Tens of thousands of elite Trojan soldiers walked out of the city gate in columns, forming a tight formation in the wide square in front of the city gate.
After all, it was going to be a sneak attack, and if it was scattered, even if there was moonlight in the sky, it would easily lead to the collapse of the whole army. After all, this is the era of cold weapons, and it cannot be compared with a well-trained and well-equipped modern army.
Promising to go to the forefront of the army with Hector, Paris originally wanted to follow. However, he was forcibly pressed back by Hector.
Night raids were dangerous, and the Greeks had an extremely large army. It was impossible for Hector to allow his brother to be in danger with him. What would the king do if both brothers were killed? What to do with this country?
'Click~~~' The thick city gate slowly closed again, cutting off all the eyes of the people seeing off in the city.
Taking a deep breath, he turned to look at the dark coastline in the distance, and promised to move his wrist joints and let out a low voice, "Let's go." ”
Promise was at the front of the queue, for he was going to lead the way for an army of nearly 10,000 men under the cover of night. The night is not an obstacle to promises.
Soon there was no need to promise a guide, though, for a tall torch suddenly lit up on the beach in the distance. The great flame was so conspicuous that it was the most conspicuous beacon in the darkness of the night.
At first, the Trojan soldiers were startled, thinking that their night raid had been discovered by the Greeks. However, Promise soon figured out what was going on there, and the Greeks on the beach were now being cremated in a grand manner.
During the day, the king of Sparta was possessed by Ares, the god of war, and was promised to be killed on the spot.
Unbeknownst to the Greeks, however, it was Ares who had been killed, and they brought the body of the Spartan king back to the barracks. In the evening, Agamemnon, the brother of the king of Sparta and the leader of the Greek alliance, presided over a grand cremation to see his brother off.
In addition to a grand cremation for the king of Sparta, who died heroically in battle. Because during the day, everyone saw the wrath of the sea god. The 100-meter-high waves that hit the beach brought tremendous psychological pressure to these people. Fearful of the monstrous wrath of the god of the sea, the frightened Greeks also held a grand sacrifice ceremony to the god of the sea.
I have to say that the people of this world are extremely in awe of the gods who have powerful divine powers. Fearing that the god of the sea would destroy everything with a tsunami, the Greek army was carrying out very devout rituals. Regulation in the direction of Troy was greatly relaxed.
Perhaps in the eyes of the Greeks, the gods were far more important than their enemies. And they believe too much in their own strength, believing that their strength is far superior to that of the Trojans. Those Trojans were already lucky to be able to hide behind the tall city walls, and who would have thought that the Trojans would have the courage to attack at night?
However, the Trojans, who were considered impossible to attack, really came!
