Chapter 20: The Trojan Horse Scheme
But now his father and the people of the city-state were happy.
And I just feel like wishful thinking, and when I say it, I don't even believe it, let alone others.
Andrew Meida frowned, then slowly relaxed.
……
Meanwhile.
Trojan Battlefield.
Because of the early entry of the sun god Apollo and Ye Qiong, this war, which was supposed to last for ten years, was prematurely heated.
Protected by Zeus, the king of the gods, and Athena, the goddess of wisdom, the city of Troy was impregnable, and the Greek soldiers did not breach the city despite five times the strength of the Trojans.
Originally, due to the last forbidden methods of Apollo, the Greek coalition army suffered heavy losses, coupled with the impregnability of the city of Troy, for a while, many Greek soldiers had the idea of retreating.
Fortunately.
At this time, the Greek coalition also had the first Greek warrior Aglius as the last shield.
Although the Greek coalition did not make much progress in several large-scale battles, and on the contrary suffered heavy losses, the Trojans were also uncomfortable.
They were already inferior to the Greek coalition in terms of personnel, and with the presence of the two demigods Dorance and Agreus, the Trojan soldiers were also miserable, and the only thing they wanted at the moment was that the wall under their feet would never collapse.
However, they would never have imagined that at this time, there was a person who had already figured out a way to fight against Troy City.
His name is Odysseus.
He was the king of Ithaca in western Greece and fought in the Trojan War. Before the expedition, he joined the Greek mission to meet the Trojan king Priam in order to find a peaceful settlement of the dispute arising from the seizure of Helen by Paris, but to no avail.
If, according to the original Trojan War, in the tenth year, Achilles was killed by Apollo with an arrow, and Ajax, the bravest leader of the Achaeans, and Odysseus, the most resourceful leader, competed for Achilles' armor, Odysseus defeated Ajax with great strength, causing the latter to commit suicide in anger. In the end, Odysseus made a plan to build a large wooden horse, which contained ambush soldiers, and the Trojans dragged the wooden horse into the city, and as a result, the Achaians joined forces and captured the city of Troy, ending the epic war that lasted for 10 years.
Of course, this is just according to the original trajectory.
Right now.
The first warrior of Greece, Aglius, was not shot with an arrow by the sun god Apollo, but on the contrary, his whereabouts are unknown.
The only thing that is the same is the brutality of the war.
What would have taken a decade is now just a matter of months.
The Greek coalition left countless corpses, and Troy suffered significant losses.
Both sides are like a barrel of dynamite, the kind that explodes at a single point.
……
Not far from the city-state of Troy.
An open plain.
It was the headquarters of the allied Greek army.
At this time.
In a makeshift base camp.
Many of the Greek generals gathered here.
In front of them was a large round wooden table.
"Honorable Commander Dorans, what do you think of this plan of your subordinates?"
There was a hint of caution in the young Odysseus's tone.
He could not afford not to do so.
Standing in front of him was the great general of the Hilfi Empire.
One man is below ten thousand people, and tens of thousands of warriors are in charge.
He had the final say in the entire Hilphy Plain, and although Odysseus was the king of a country, there was no comparison between the two!!
That is the real country, and at best it is a small city-state, and I am afraid that it is not as big as someone's palace!!
What's more, according to legend, the real ruler of Nasilfi is a real devil, who kills people without blinking, is a complete tyrant, has skills that ordinary people cannot have in their lifetime, and even once had a demigod hero who disobeyed discipline died at his hands.
He was hanged alive and hung on the gates of the Hilfi Empire for a whole month.
Odysseus hadn't seen a tyrannical monarch, but he hadn't really heard of it yet, as in the case of the Hilphi Empire.
It doesn't matter if it's true or not, in his heart, he's a little afraid of coming out of the Hilfi Empire
of people.
In his perception, they are all the kind of demons who specialize in eating people and not spitting out bones.
"Trojan Horse Tricks!!"
At the giant round table, Dorance and Agreus sat at the top of the table.
His brow twitched slightly, and he glanced at Odysseus slightly.
There was a hint of ...... in his eyes Invisible consternation......
Well hidden by him.
The master once told him that if a man named Odysseus came up with a Trojan horse like today, he would just agree.
Originally, he still felt a little puzzled why the master would suddenly say such a thing to him, but now that he thinks about it, the master is really worthy of a clever calculation.
"Lord Commander?"
Odysseus's voice came again.
"Hmm...... Your proposal is very good! ”
Dorans's eyes were not too big, they were even a little narrow, and at this moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint cold light shot out......
Odysseus's body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and he couldn't care about the second half of Dolance's words.
"What do you think, Commander of Agreus?"
The corners of Dorans' mouth rose slightly, and he turned his head to look at Agreus on the side.
His face was pale, somewhat similar to that of a Western vampire, and his eyes were a brilliant blue that shone brightly......
"You can give it a try!"
Agreus was expressionless, his eyes were a little blank, and four words popped out of his mouth, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Commander Agreus thinks so, so you can give it a try!!"
Dorans smiled lightly and made a final decision.
……
In the evening.
On top of the walls of Troy.
Hector's brow furrowed.
Just a few hours earlier, the menacing Greek coalition had withdrawn.
Although he didn't see it too clearly, the dust was billowing from the base camp of the Greek coalition, and there were vague heavy soldiers retreating.
Afterwards, the report of the spies in front of the front finally confirmed the incident.
It's just that, for some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy at the moment.
"Prince, the Greek coalition has withdrawn, why are you still not happy!!"
Beside Hector, the old man was still close behind.
"Wise man, I always feel that the Greeks retreated a little too hastily!!"
Hector spoke his mind truthfully.
"What's the !! here?"
The old man's voice was very hoarse: "The Greek coalition army came from afar, it was already physically and mentally exhausted, and it was impossible to attack for a long time, there must be a shortage of food and grass!! ”
"What the wise man said is also reasonable, it should be that I haven't slept well in the past few days and think about it!"
Hector nodded slightly.
