Chapter 405: The Battle of Troy (17)

Truth be told, the Thracian king did not want to get involved in the battle of Troy, and when he was ravaged by the Illyrian coalition led by Orpheus a few years earlier, he knew that surrendering on his knees would end up honorably. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As for now, not only the Thracian royal family put away the idea of rebellion, but even the powerful Thracian nobles, seeing the tyrannical slaughter of the blood type of the heroic warriors, extinguished their undue thoughts.

The barren land can't support more people, and if you want to maintain this kingdom, expanding your living space is an inevitable choice, but unfortunately, there is a huge beast by your side, and the Thracians want to make some small moves, which will cause a fierce backlash at any time.

"Perhaps, maybe, maybe, it would be a good idea to send the Mercenaries of Grace into battle to collect money from the Trojans. It is possible to fulfill the covenant and win international prestige. ”

As soon as the king of Polinestoor made up his mind, he echoed Orpheus's call, and the Thracian nobles, with their eyes on the armor and weapons of the heroic warriors, did not dare to disobey the will of the commander of the Illyrian alliance, but began to think about how to gain more benefits for themselves.

The tattered Salamis's fleet slowly sailed away from the Thracian harbor, and the big Ajax, with his broken arm, bound to the bow pole with a thumb-thick hemp rope, sailed towards the kingdom of Troy on the other side of the sea.

Most of the crew on board the ship were Thracian mercenaries, and the rest were heroic warriors trained by the Orpheus Secret Cult, scattered on the oars like salt powder sprinkled on a barbecue feast.

On the not-so-short voyage, there were idle and bored Thracians, who honed their martial arts skills in gladiatorial battles on the deck, and they not only had high morale, but also had the courage to challenge the heroic warriors.

The bloody fact that the Heroic Warriors, who were not afraid of being wounded at all, used their unique fighting style to kill the enemy in one blow in a row, taught the arrogant Thracians a lesson, and in front of real warriors, they were just a group of laymen who did not understand the essence of battle.

A few years ago, the conquest of the Illyrian coalition almost broke the backbone of the Thracians, but only a few years later, they recovered from their injuries and forgot the pain.

As for now, after being taught a lesson by the Heroic Warriors, the Thracian mercenaries realized that the "partners" of the same ship were enemies not long ago, bedtime stories used by the old man to scare children, the source of nightmares.

As a result, the Thracians on the ship of Salamis quickly became honest, and exhausted their excess energy to repair the damaged parts of the ship, and tried to increase the speed of the ship to reach the Trojan territory as soon as possible, far from the Valhallic warriors.

"Yes! Yes, Ajax the Great, son of Telemon, could not die in the land of Thrace. His blood and life must be sacrificed to the gods and even to this land on the battlefields of the Battle of Troy. ”

Lu Bin's words reached Orpheus's ears, and this high-level god of the underworld, the god of Mount Helikon, quickly understood the secret and couldn't help but nod lightly.

After the shipwreck of Achilles in the kingdom of Corone, Ajax the Great, son of Telamon, suffered the same humiliation in the kingdom of Thrace.

"One might explain that King Koronay Kuknos is the son of Poseidon, the Sea King of the Earthshaker, and has an invulnerable god and is backed by the sea. ”

As soon as the Thracians set foot on the land of Troy, Agamemnon, the commander of the coalition forces, convened a military council and asked worriedly: "How to explain the defeat of Ajax the Great, after all, there are too many Greeks who have seen him tied to the bow of the ship." ”

The eloquent Palamedes pondered for a moment, then proposed in a nonchalant tone: "It should be a good choice to make a fuss with his one-armed man." ”

The other Greek princes present did not have any opinions, and those who failed were not qualified to make irresponsible remarks, but Palamedes' proposal angered one man, Diomedes, the king of Argos, who also suffered the humiliation of a severed arm, hated the famous Greek wise man to death in his heart.

Orpheus greeted Polyidolos, the youngest son of the Trojan king Priam, and knocked on the gates of the male city of Troy, where the Thracians and the Heroic warriors then entered and were welcomed by the Trojans.

After all, not everyone could ignore the Greeks on all sides and force their way through the defenses and enter the royal city of Troy. Moreover, the bloody red carpet of the Greek warriors who fell in a pool of blood was enough to dispel the doubts of the Trojans.

A Greek in a war zone was killed by Orpheus himself, and the fish that slipped through the net were mended by Thracian mercenaries and heroic warriors. The lyre, which is conjoined with the Bird of Bliss, the dangerous black strings are played by the bullet of the muse to a deadly note, causing a strange way of death.

There is the curse of separating flesh and bones, there is the internal destruction technique of bleeding from seven holes, there is the torture that shatters the muscles and bones alive, and more is the invisible weapon created out of thin air by the sound of the qin, which is so fast that mortals can't resist it at all.

Ajax the Great was thrown into prison as a prisoner, and if it weren't for the fact that his mother, Hesione, was the sister of King Priam, who had half the blood of the Trojan royal family in his veins, he would have been hanged.

The young prince Polyidoros is welcomed into the palace by Hector to tell the story of what happened after the separation, and as he depicts, a colossal alliance emerges from the view of the Trojan royal family and the higher-ups.

"Even the fierce Thracians, the brave Macedonians, and the Epirus were no match for them, and they succumbed to the commanders of the coalition forces. Before they knew it, the north of the Greeks was inhabited by this ferocious beast. I don't know if it's their misfortune or our luck. ”

Hector was very interested in the battle that had taken place in the north not long ago, and asked the little brother who he had sent away from the secret passage with his own hands, wanting to know the origin of this group of people.

Polydonos told the truth, although he himself did not want to believe it, but it was true, after all, no one else in the world had such extraordinary skill to subdue everyone and become the commander of the coalition forces.

"Orpheus, Orpheus, the hero of the Argonauts, Orpheus, the legendary son of the Muses, is not long dead, and his body is buried at the southern foot of Mount Helikon facing the sun. ”

There was an uproar in the Trojan palace, and many people didn't want to believe what Polyidolos said, but it was believed that no one could do it to quietly kill mortals and lay flesh and blood into a piano practice.

"Haha! Isn't it a good thing that we have another half-human and half-god hero in our camp?"

At the critical moment, Aeneas, King of Daldania, stood up and said what everyone wanted to hear the most, calming the ups and downs of the Trojan royal family and the upper echelons.

As a hero of the previous generation, Orpheus participated in the expedition of the Argonauts, and his reputation spread far and wide, and although his appearance was not like words, he was recognized by everyone for his transcendent piano skills. After all, Orpheus at this time was a hero in the Trojan camp.

Great Ajax did not expect that attacking the Kingdom of Thrace would provoke such a terrible big man, and his own strength was like a child in the eyes of Orpheus.

Unfortunately, not everyone welcomed Orpheus, at least Kassandra, the priest of the Apollo Temple, the Trojan princess, who, due to her gifted prophetic abilities, was able to glimpse the short-lived river of fate after being favored by the gods. She saw no future in Orpheus, only endless darkness, like a bottomless abyss.

Sensing the prying eyes of the priests of the gods, Orpheus at the feast immediately looked towards where Kassandra was sitting, grinning and revealing two rows of neatly glowing white teeth.

The music of the Soul Strings resonated in Kassandra's heart, and this terrifying power made the Troy princess tremble, after all, she was favored by Apollo the Bright-faced at this time.

"I see a faint death in you, the great genius of the pianist Orpheus, you are not a living man!

Orpheus didn't expect that the priestess of the sun god would be able to fight back, setting up a channel of communication with the words of the heart, and couldn't help but praise it: "My territory includes Thrace, they have an alliance with Troy, and I fulfill my promise to come to help." Questions?"

"You are a dead man, why can you come to the earth? This is the key! If the dead heroes can return to the yang world, a catastrophe will happen. Why, you say?"

Orfuston smiled dumbly: "Of course, it is to occupy the land, all the nations. By the grace of His Highness, I am able to return to the sunny ground. Illyria, Epirus, Upper and Lower Macedonia, Thrace are in the possession of our Lord, and then all of Greece is in the possession of our Lord. The more Greek princes and heroes who died in Troy, the better, so as to reduce the resistance of the conquest. I think I've explained it clearly enough. ”

Kassandra suddenly heard such secret news, and her heart was terrified and almost despaired: "Hades! Ordinary heroes will never have such terrifying strength, Orpheus, you have already taken refuge in Hades, maybe you have become a god of the underworld. ”

Orpheus did not refute, after all, in his eyes, Lu Bin, who innovated the order of the underworld and created a place of redemption, and took over the soul judgment was the real "Hades".

"You are so wise! Kassandra, the princess of Troy, was able to see through the surface to see my true colors. It's a pity that it's still heroes like me who lead the war, and how many people are willing to listen to your words?"

The feast of celebration of the return of the Trojan prince Polyidolos slowly came to an end, and the Thracian mercenaries were led by the Heroic Warriors to a place for the guest army to rest.

Orpheus accepted the invitation to stay in the palace of Troy, playing sleep-inducing songs under the moonlight.

The silvery notes flowed between the bricks and stones, and even the flaming torch, after being entwined by the music, the light of the fire that burned the ceiling was imperceptibly lowered, as if it were resting.

Such a brilliant piano skill immediately dispelled the last hesitation of those who had a heart, although many people did not want to believe it, but Orpheus, the son of the muse, really returned.

In the early morning of the next day, the morning sun rose in the eastern sky, and the rose-red light was like an arrow, tearing through the silky night of dawn. Orpheus, who had not slept all night, was gone, and quietly left the palace of Troy, standing on the city wall in the light white mist of the early morning.

The son of the muse plucked the strings with his five fingers, and the notes like a clear spring slowly flowed down, sending an invitation to battle to the garrison of the Greek coalition in the distance, especially the first hero Achilles, who focused on it.

The sound of the harp, which was pleasant to the ears of the sons of Thetis, was filled with the cacophony of fingers scraping metal, and above all, the music of Orpheus, which stimulated the sleeping Patroclus to wake up and endure the torment of an unhealable wound again, which was more painful for him than it was for Achilles himself.

"If you want to fight, I will fight!"

The god-like Achilles abandoned his conquest and attacked the city-states of his Trojan allies, and drove to the city of the Trojan king, fully armed.
