270: Hesitant
After listening to the words of the high priest, Priam and Hector looked at each other.
After a while, the eldest prince hesitated, "But the Anatonian Legion has been disarmed and closely monitored, and it may be very difficult to successfully defeat them. ”
Chryses immediately replied: "Don't worry, the Great Prince, Dmitry has come this time, along with Princess Oni of Athens, Lord Elrens of Delos, and His Excellency Jole, the messenger from the Black Sea Dragon Island. They also allied with the Merfolk Kingdom of the Sea of Piano, and the Tiger Shark Knights led by the mermaid prince Prian attacked the city of Nicaea first, in order to attract the attention of Narcisse and his Nicaean legions, and then suddenly launched a riot after the other side relaxed the surveillance of the Anatonian legions, in which case the Eastern Romans could not take care of each other, and it would be much easier to defeat them. ”
The eldest prince nodded, stroking the sword in his hand in deep thought. This plan sounds pretty good, but with a lot of concerted efforts and a little luck, the chances of success are pretty good.
Seeing Hector's expression of approval, the high priest hurriedly continued to persuade: "Although Dmitry has a strategy against the enemy, this matter is very important and will directly affect the fate of Troy in the future. We must not sit idly by, but must do our best to mobilize the whole army to cooperate with their actions and fight to the death against the Eastern Romans! ”
When Hector heard this, he immediately stood up and echoed in a loud voice: "The high priest is right, and this matter is in our vital interests. We must not stay out of the situation! If we sit back and wait for death as we are now, it is better to take advantage of this rare opportunity to fight with all our strength and fight to the death against the enemy!"
However, in the face of the expectant gaze of the eldest prince and the high priest. Priam, however, was still skeptical and could not make up his mind. He frowned in distress, clenched the armrests of the chair with both hands, and even sighed after thinking about it again and said: "This fact is too risky, who knows how effective the army of the Mermaid Kingdom is, and whether they are willing to fight desperately for us? Narcisse was not going to sit still. I can't bet lightly on the fortunes of Troy, and I have to think carefully before I can reply to you. ”
Hector and Chryses were so disappointed that they looked at each other. The eldest prince did not give up and said, "But the situation of the war is changing rapidly, and if we hesitate any longer, I am afraid that we will miss this good opportunity......
The old king waved his hand before he could finish speaking. Interrupted: "I know what you mean." I have to think about this again, and I will reply to you as soon as possible. ”
With that, Priam got up from his chair tiredly, hunched over and sighed as he walked to the passage next to the government hall and slowly left.
Looking at the king's back, Hector and Chryses were very helpless. The eldest prince smiled bitterly and said, "Your Excellency, High Priest, my father is unwilling to agree, what should we do now?"
Chryses pinched his chin and thought for a moment, "This matter is very important. We must not give up on this. Please come with Your Highness to meet Dmitry and the other guests in Wechen's apartment, and then we can discuss the countermeasures. ”
Hector nodded. The two hurriedly left the government affairs hall and set off quickly
After a while, Chryses and Hector returned to the high priest's apartment next to the palace. At this time, after a brief rest and eating, everyone was still gathered in the living room to discuss the situation, and Ellens held a crystal ball in his hand, as if he was talking to someone.
As soon as the eldest prince strode in, Lilisy and Dmitry stood up and saluted him, saying, "Your Highness Hector is here. ”
Hector smiled and nodded, then strode up to Dmitry, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Your Excellency the Major General is still the same as it was back then, do you still remember the scene when we trained the army together, it's really nostalgic!"
Dmitry also smiled and said: "How can you not remember! Your Highness, as the Grand Prince of Troy, has shared weal and woe with ordinary soldiers, and never lags behind in killing the enemy, which is really admirable!"
The two complimented each other and laughed out loud.
Then the eldest prince turned to Ernie and the others, bowed and said, "These must be Her Royal Highness Princess Oni of Athens, as well as His Excellency Elrens, the Governor of Delos, and His Excellency Jole, the Envoy of the Black Sea Dragon Island. You are welcome to Troy, don't be surprised if you don't greet you, and if you need help, I'll do my best!"
Oni smiled and stood up and gave a lady's salute, but Jole and Elrence lazily did not react. Hector didn't care either, and continued to ask: "I heard that a few people have already planned to deal with the Eastern Romans, I don't know if they are sure of it?"
Elrens nodded and said, "You're here just in time, I've just made contact with Prince Prian of the Mermaid Kingdom through the crystal ball, and his Tiger Shark Knights are ready off the coast of Nicaea City, and will attack immediately after our notification." It doesn't matter if your country does not want to send troops into battle, please arrange for me and Dmitry to infiltrate the camp of the Anatolian Legion, so that we can meet with the generals of the Legion in person. ”
After speaking, Ellens handed the crystal ball in his hand to the other party. Hecht blushed when he heard this, the evil dragon said this quite politely, he was very dissatisfied with the retreating and cowardly attitude of the Trojan Kingdom, a country that let the enemy extort at its own gates, and even the castles of the important domestic ministers could not protect, what can be respected?
The eldest prince did not have the confidence to refute, he knew the situation of Troy, and he also felt very humiliated in his heart, so he could only take the crystal ball in a daze, only to see that the image of a middle-aged man in the middle of the sea riding a huge tiger shark, this person was wearing a light blue robe and holding a trident. Because of the relationship between neighboring countries, Hector has also met a few times, and it is Prince Prian from the mermaid kingdom.
Hector was overjoyed that although Prian was called a prince, he was actually the king of the mermaid kingdom. Since he has gone out in person, then the Tiger Shark Knights under his command will definitely attack with all their might, and the chance of victory will be more certain!
