Chapter 13: The Battle of Troy (6)
The trumpet of gunsmoke had sounded, and under the setting sun, the pungent smoke seemed like the end of the world, enveloping the city of Troy for several miles.
These days, the iconic walls of Troy have been scarred by days of attacks, and the Greek coalition has paid a lot of price for this attack.
The gates of Troy were covered with bloodstains that looked like hell from afar......
Months of fighting have already left this place full of white bones.
Farther away, the vultures swept by, making hoarse calls, and the bird's eyes rolled to stare at the decomposing corpse below......
If it had been the case, the soldiers from both sides would have dragged away the warriors belonging to their country, but now, no one would do that, and the situation at this time would not allow them to do so!
Almost every moment, someone dies, and then is covered by the solemn loess wind, becoming a nameless skeleton of this epic war, and slowly turning into nothingness with the long song of history......
This is war, which has always been ruthless and indifferent, but it is also a weapon for those in high positions!!
Everywhere it is pointed, it is the land of the king!
……
Troy.
A palace cluster of extravagant palaces.
Hector, the hero of Troy, hurried by.
"Your Royal Highness!"
In front of the main hall, a burly soldier hurriedly bent down and said respectfully.
"Is Father in there?"
Hector raised an eyebrow.
His voice was a little hurried, and his face was a little hurried.
"Your Majesty...... I'm meeting the Sun God inside! ”
The burly man's tone was a little excited.
"Heliosama, he's coming!!"
Hector was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened.
There has always been such a legend in Troy, according to legend, the city of Troy was originally the palace of Zeus, the king of the gods, and was guarded by the gods, and no enemy could attack this city, and those who violated the order would suffer the wrath of the gods.
Hector knew very well in his heart that this was not just a legend, and that it was a taboo in the current situation where the gods really existed.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for Troy to still be as alive and kicking as it is today after making enemies!
In the main temple of Troy, there is not only a stone statue of Zeus, the king of the gods, but also Apollo, the god of the sun.
The wise man once said that the sun god would never show up until the moment of need, and now, the sun god's appearance does not mean that Troy is about to be in trouble.
Hector was puzzled, he didn't worship the gods so much, and of course, he definitely didn't dare to despise them.
Although he is a hero, the power of the gods is still an existence that he does not dare to dream of in his life.
No matter how strong a city you are, it will all turn to dust in an instant.
"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is here!"
Located on the highest point of the Troy Mountains.
The current king of Troy, Priam, was looking humbly at a figure directly above him.
It was a young man, wrapped in a golden silk robe, mixed with a shimmering light, which looked radiant.
The man wasn't too tall, but standing there made him feel like a mountain.
This is the deity, even if he falls into the mortal dust, it is difficult to hide his own light.
"The Great Prince? Presumably, he is Hector, the number one warrior of your Troy City!! ”
With a slightly echoing voice, the young man who was sitting on the throne of the king of Troy raised his blue eyes slightly.
"Lord Qiyu Sun God, Aiko is the number one warrior of my Trojan city-state!"
Priam nodded quickly.
"Let him in!"
The young man's face was expressionless, and his voice was as flat as water.
He sat on a high position, as if he were the real master of the country.
The god spoke, and a guard walked out.
"God makes your Excellency good!"
Led by the guards, Hector walked straight in.
"Not bad, but worse than the Greek No. 1 warrior Agreus outside!"
Apollo slowly got up, and glanced at Hector.
"Indeed!"
Hector snorted softly, his face slightly displeased.
"Lord Divine once said that I will only appear when I reach a critical moment of life and death in Troy City, and this time my lord appeared because of ......"
Hector stopped talking.
"That's a good point!"
The young man on the throne gave a look of appreciation.
"You can know that if you follow the original trajectory, even if the specific outcome of this war is unknown, it can last at least a full nine years, but now, there are countless cracks in the core of Troy City located in the Olympic Mountain, and once the core of the city is cracked, it indicates that Troy City is about to be broken in a short time, this time may be tomorrow, or next month, but at least no more than three months!!"
The young man reverberated through the city of Troy for a long time.
But when he heard this, Priam broke out in a cold sweat and almost fainted.
"The Greeks besieged the city of Troy for nine years, and many Greek warriors, including the valiant Achilles with demigod blood, were killed in all the battles, but the city remained as strong as ever, and for the simple reason that the walls of Troy were built by the gods of Mount Olympia.
The builder of Troy, Dadanus, a descendant of Zeus, the father of the gods on Mount Olympia, came to Asia Minor from Greece, where the king gave his daughter in marriage and gave him a piece of land at the confluence of two rivers flowing into the sea, next to Mount Ida. The Son of God settled here, and the nearby strait was called the Strait of Dardania.
Generations later, King Iros was invited by the king of a neighboring country to participate in a wrestling contest and won a spotted cow as a prize. At the same time, the king of the neighboring country told him an oracle: where the cow lay down to rest, he would build a castle.
Iros walked with the cow, who lay down to rest in the land called Troy, and Iros decided to build a castle on this hill. Before building the city, he prayed to the patriarch Zeus for a sign of approval for him to build a city here. The next day he found a statue of Athena in his tent, which had been enshrined in the temple of Zeus, who gave him the idol to imply that the future city of Troy would be under the protection of Zeus and his daughter Athena. ”
As he spoke, the young man raised an eyebrow and glanced at Priam dissatisfied.
"This is a city protected by the gods, and no one can disobey the gods!!"
The man's voice suddenly turned cold, like frost......
