Chapter 609: Troy
PS: Weekend update, thank you for your support, thank you very much! I would like to ask all book friends to support the genuine version, and I am grateful! Thanks!
"It's an interesting world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" As soon as the ring opened, Xu Promise couldn't help but roll his eyes. It's the same line every time, and it's time to change it.
However, this time the ring was not casually remarked, nor did it explain the results of world exploration, but it was very definite that "there are gods and spirits in this world, and there is extremely powerful energy between heaven and earth." It's completely different from the world you've experienced before. ”
"In other words, all life in this world is very powerful?" Looking at the dense fleet of ships that almost obscured the sky on the distant sea, and at the sails that shimmered in the dazzling sunlight, he already knew the words of the ring in his heart.
Promise didn't ask where the world prototype of this mission was. Because he always knew that the so-called archetypal world was just a background architecture. Everything inside was completely different after he actually entered the other world.
"It's a high-level world for you." The Ring goes on to explain the promise that "this world is a world of mighty humans, mighty heroes, and omnipotent gods. You're in a dangerous situation. ”
"yes, I see." Promise nodded, and a crisp, dull sound of metal crashing could already be heard in the distance behind him. He knew it was the sound of a bell ringing the siren, "What is the mission this time?" Killing gods? ”
"After analyzing your current strength, it is a little too difficult to kill gods." There was a smile in the ring's voice, "The gods of this world are powerful, and there are many of them. So, this time the Plane Pact is to guard the city behind you. Then kill the most powerful hero on the opposite side. ”
"Kill heroes?" Promise's look was a little strange: "Are you sure this is not playing an online game?" ”
"Hey, hey." Ring smiled, "Let's try to complete the mission." Remember that this world is a god. And behind this war stands the gods. It's best not to provoke the gods until you're on a mission, or I can't guarantee that you'll make it home alive. ”
After a pause, the ring spoke again, "A word of advice for you, those gods may have contradictions with each other, but they are all natives of the land. Once it's confirmed that there is something wrong with your identity, they will definitely join forces against you. After all, even gods are imprisoned beings in this world. If they learn that they can travel to other worlds through you, an outsider, you will be caught as guinea pigs. ”
"Thank you." Xu nodded vigorously.
The reminder of the ring is very important to him. He may be very powerful now, but he has little chance of defeating a siege from a group of gods. This has been very clear since the previous time when he dealt with the Titan and when he faced Guanyin Master.
Once his identity as a visitor to another world is revealed, the gods who are already at the top of this world will definitely not let him go. Once he can't complete the mission, he won't be able to go home.
"Good." There was a hint of satisfaction in the ring's voice, "Let's do it." ”
The ring was silent, and if nothing else, the ring had returned to the energy world. Doesn't reappear until the mission is promised.
After all, compared to before, the current ring needs to go to the energy world to guard the energy group that has lost its soul but can repeatedly make waves, and it can no longer be by the side of the promise all the time.
'Whew~~~' Promise took a deep breath.
The sea in front of you is so magnificent, and the blue sea is almost endless sailboats. The scarlet-patterned, hand-operated sailboats were full of heavily armed warriors. Even if it was so far away, Xu Promise could feel the strong fighting intent emanating from those warriors!
He looked down at the Iron Man armor on his body, which was completely out of step with this era, and then thought about the advice of the ring before. Without the slightest hesitation, the promise landed on the soft sand, and directly removed the armor to enter the storage space.
Until the mission is completed, the promise does not intend to reveal any super-temporal forces that could stimulate the gods.
It was only at this time that Promise had time to take a look at the surroundings.
It's a very wide sandy beach, with very little sand and soft to step on. On one side of the beach is a towering cliff with a large temple-like structure. On the other side of the beach, there is a pier that is very primitive in the sense of promise.
The dull and crisp sound of the bell behind him still kept coming. Promise turned, and not far behind him was a long strip of defense. Most of the large, sharpened wood was buried in the sand. The sharp end is diagonally pointed at a 45-degree angle.
Promise only took a look to understand what these sharp pieces of wood were for. The wood was used as a defense against ships at high tide. Once the ship hits the wood, it will inevitably be destroyed directly.
Unfortunately, it's clearly not the time for high tide, and the wood doesn't work as well as it should.
A large number of soldiers armed with spears, dressed in black linen clothes and rudimentary armor, were panicking to set up their defensive lines.
The soldiers had seen the promise before, and they had seen the promise fly into the sky and then fall again. However, although there was awe and fear in the eyes of these soldiers, there was no unknown and terrifying as promised to think.
"It seems like I'm not the only one in the world who can fly?" Xu Promise raised his hand and pinched his chin, it seemed that there were many powerful beings in this world. Otherwise, it would not be possible for these ordinary soldiers to be able to see the reaction of flying, which was a miracle in primitive times.
It didn't take long for a large number of archers to enter the defensive line. The first thing they did was to turn their bows and arrows at their promises. After all, the promised costume was weird, and a person appeared in front of everyone.
"What kind of world is this?" Promise's brow gradually furrowed, and the ring just didn't say what kind of world this was. Look at the soldiers on the beach, the faces are obviously Caucasian, and look at their weapons and equipment, clothes, and the ships on the sea. It should be the world before the Roman era.
Promise's gaze looked beyond the sand and into the distance. There's a huge, huge city there. The walls were tall and strong, and the area of the city was huge. If it were really a pre-Roman world, it would definitely be a top-notch megacity.
"The beach, the huge city." Promise turned his head to look at the surface of the sea, "Caucasians, countless ships and invaders." There are powerful heroes in a world with gods...... Couldn't this be Troy? ”
The pre-Roman world was dominated by Greek and Persian civilizations. It is obvious that these people are dressed as Persians, and although there are many cities near the coast in the Greek world, the only one that can be compared to the magnificent giant city behind them is Athens.
But Athens was a very prosperous commercial port city, and it was impossible to be so cramped near the docks. Based on the fleet that had been promised to be seen in mid-air, it was estimated that at least tens of thousands of troops had crossed the sea.
Historically, threats to Athens have largely come from land. Even when the Persian army invaded, it did not go straight to Athens. There has not been such a large-scale invasion at sea.
If it weren't for Athens, the only suitable thing would be the legendary mythical battle that destroyed a country and killed several heroes because of a peerless beauty, Troy!
Troy was a city-state that existed more than 3,000 years ago on the coast of the Anatolian Peninsula, across the Aegean Sea from Greece. It may be a bit of a twist to say Anatolia, but if you talk about Asia Minor, you know where it is. It's Turkey in the modern world.
More than 3,000 years ago, there were no Turks here. The city-state is a city blessed by the sun god. And this war is best known for the Trojan Horse, and the subsequent massacre of cities. The whole story is depicted in the epic of the hippopotamus, the famous Iliad.
On his way to Greece, the prince of Troy met Helen, the beautiful wife of the king of Sparta. Handsome prince and beautiful man. The wife quickly rubbed a blazing spark. The two then fled Greece together and returned to Troy.
If Helen's husband was not the king of Sparta, then this is the story of an ordinary little white face who seduced his wife to elope. There are countless such things in history, and there is no need to describe them too much.
But Helen, known as the most beautiful woman in Greece, had her husband the king of Sparta.
And this king also had an elder brother who was the king of all the kingdoms and city-states of Greece, Agamemnon. At the call of the two brothers, almost the entire kingdom and city-state of Greece responded to their request to send troops to Troy to reclaim his wife for the king of Sparta.
And then the war began.
In this tragic war, both sides suffered heavy losses. Including Achilles, who has the fame of the famous Achilles heel. Hector, the first warrior of Troy. Many heroes, including Prince Paris, a peerless beautiful man with the promise of the Golden Apple, have fallen in this war.
Eventually, the Greeks used Trojan horses to capture Troy and reduce the city to ashes. This was the end of this tragic war.
One thing that has to be mentioned is Helen, the most beautiful woman in Greece who caused all this. She was brought back to Greece by the King of Sparta after the war and continued to be her queen. And the ruined city of Troy, as well as the countless souls in the city, can only be buried in the endless dust of history.
"It seems a little simple." After glancing at the soldiers who did not dare to attack him, Promise turned to face the vast sea and the dense sailing ships that were rapidly approaching on the sea. He whispered to himself, "But since the ring says that there are gods involved, it will definitely not be as ordinary as in the movie." It seems that this time it is really going to be a good fight. ”
At this moment, a sailboat with a black sail had rushed out of the fleet at a very high speed, roaring towards the beach like a sharp arrow off the string! And this sailing ship with black sails is now facing the bow of the promise!
