Chapter 8: The Battle of Troy (1)
There are still more than two years left before the Trojan War, and taking advantage of this time, Ye Qiong is not idle.
Under his rule, the city-state of André directly unified the various large and small city-states around it.
became the only overlord of the Hilfi Plains.
Everywhere you go, there is no one who does not bow down!
All those who resisted were sentenced to death.
This is an extremely cruel criminal law in ancient Greece, and the tortured person will not die immediately, and there are some similarities with Ling Chi in ancient China, which is a cruel and inhumane punishment.
Ye Qiong did this for only one purpose, and that was to deter everyone.
However, he also earned the title of a tyrant for this.
After the complete conquest of the entire Hilfi Plain, the city-state of Andre officially changed its name to the Hilfi Empire, and the capital was moved, located in the center of the Hilfi Plain, covering an area of about ten miles.
Ye Qiong is naturally a well-deserved king, known as Emperor Hilfei.
He was the greatest king of the land, with the most powerful soldiers, the richest wealth, and the largest population
At the highest point of the Hilfei Plain, Ye Qiong ordered people to build a huge stone statue according to his appearance.
The statue, which took several months to complete, is a natural boulder polished from a high mountain of Tamara in the Hilfi Plain, which is a symbol of the entire Hilfi Plain.
Ye Qiong set the rule that no killings were allowed within a range of ten miles around the stone statue.
If anyone violates, he will suffer ten times his wrath.
This is an iron order, whether it is the original inhabitants of the Hilfi Plains or the inhabitants of other plains, they all know more or less that the new overlord of the Hilfi Plain has set such an iron rule for such a day.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, 365 days of the year pass in a hurry.
For the gods, a year is equivalent to the blink of an eye.
But for the mortal world.
A lot can happen in a year.
One of the most important of these was that King Menilaus of Sparta and his brother King Agamemnon of Mycenae raised an army against Troy.
The reason for this.
It was because the Trojan king Priam and his handsome second son, Prince Paris, kidnapped their wife Helen in the Greek Spartan king Menilaus.
As the saying goes, the hatred of killing one's father and the hatred of taking one's wife are not shared.
Although at this time, because of the Renaissance, people's ideas were much more open-minded.
But someone wore a certain green hat on his head for no reason, this kind of thing, I'm afraid that no man can stand it.
Not to mention that McNielaus is also the head of a country.
The allied forces of the Greek countries are mighty with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.
Departing from Sparta, Greece, it was led by Achilles, the most powerful warrior in Greece.
This will surely be the most shocking war and will go down in history.
Countless heroes rose up, and countless warriors became their own heroes, leaving countless legends and epics.
In fact, when it comes to Helen, Ye Qiong really wants to see this beautiful woman who is known as the most beautiful woman in the world.
Hundreds of years ago.
King Tyndareus of Sparta was expelled from his kingdom by his brother Hippokion, and Tyndarius wandered to the kingdom of Thetisus, King of Aetolia, and married the king's daughter Leda. Later, after another hero, Hercules, defeated Hippokion and killed all his sons, Tyndareus and his wife Leda returned to Sparta. They had four children, Clytnestra and Kastor, the children of Tyndarous, and Polydux and Helen the Beautiful, born to Leda and Zeus.
Leda was the wife of the then king of Sparta, Tyndareus, and the queen of Sparta.
Zeus was fascinated by her appearance, and while she was bathing in the river, he turned into a swan and became close to her. As a result, she became pregnant and gave birth to the beautiful Helen.
Helen's beauty was so beautiful that even Theseus, the hero of the Attica Peninsula, tried to kidnap her. Tyndareus was overwhelmed by the ensuing suitors and infighting, and finally the witty suitor Odysseus proposed to Tyndareus: "Decide who will marry Helen by throwing a ring, and make all suitors swear that they will never take up arms against Helen's husband, and will do everything in their power to help him when he needs help." ”
After all the suitors agreed, the Aegean chieftains who came to propose chose Menelaos, the handsome son of Atreus, by throwing a ring.
In fact, the reason why the Trojan War happened was that the gods also exerted a lot of strength in it.
On the eve of the Trojan War.
At the wedding of a king in Greece, the king invited many gods, but the goddess of quarrel was not invited. She was so angry that she threw out a golden apple with the words "To the most beautiful." Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera all declared that they deserved the apple. Eventually, they asked Paris, Prince of Troy, to adjudicate. All three goddesses bribed Paris, and in the end Paris chose Aphrodite. In return, Queen Paspatha, the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen, fell in love with him.
Thus unveiling the decade-long war of Troy.
This is no longer a simple mortal battle, but also a contest between the gods.
……
Agthius, who led tens of thousands of allied Greek troops, set out a few months ago, and arrived in the prehistoric city of Troy a few months later.
The clarion call for war was almost imminent.
The whole world became slaughtered......
The city of Troy.
Hector, the Trojan general, frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
He was the son of Priam, the Grand Prince of Troy, and the elder brother of Paris.
Hector was the first warrior of Troy and was known as the "Wall of Troy", but in the end he duel with Achilles and died at the hands of the other party.
During the decade-long war in Troy, in addition to Agreus and Hector, a war hero was born.
He is Odysseus, who contributed to the Trojan Horse scheme.
During the 10-year siege of Troy by the Greek coalition, Odysseus was brave, resourceful, and feathered. He offered a Trojan horse to attack Troy.
However, on the way back from Troy with his companions, he offended Poseidon, the god of the sea, by stabbing the blind one-eyed giant Polyphemus, and thus was repeatedly obstructed by Poseidon, and experienced all kinds of hardships and dangers.
……
"Your Royal Highness!"
On the thick walls of Troy, a soldier in armor hurried to Hector's side.
"This time...... Enemy Leader...... It seems to be called ...... What the...... ...... Aglius"
The soldier whispered, his words seemed to be full of fear.
"Aglius, the strongest warrior of Greece?"
Hector's eyebrows twitched slightly, and a fierce battle intent shot out of his eyes, slowly looking down through the half-human-high city wall.
Below the city.
Agreus seemed to feel something, and raised his head slightly......
