olympus
The gods live on the holy mountain that mortals cannot climb. A colonnade runs from top to bottom. The colonnade is composed of stone pillars carved with praises to the gods and evergreen vines that connect the palaces of the gods.
These palaces are luxurious and comfortable and are located in different locations on the mountain. When there are gatherings, the gods will walk through the colonnades and gather into the temple of Zeus.
Zeus sat on a throne of gold and ivory, receiving the gods in the grandest hall. The gods sat around Zeus, like a family surrounding their father.
The soft and sweet songs of the Muses intoxicated the gods, and Hebe, the goddess of youth, poured wine. At this time, the gods heard Paris's prayers, but they were all happy. They raised their glasses together and drank the wine that can make mortals immortal. Fine wine.
Hera tasted the wine in her hand and said cheerfully to Zeus: "Dear, did you see that Paris finally bowed to fate? Your plan is one step closer to success."
"Everything Paris has done is more and more in line with my wishes." Zeus smiled and turned to Aphrodite and said, "Aphrodite, this time your arrow has done a good job."
"Great and wise Zeus, this is my duty," said Aphrodite.
Almost all the gods were in a state of revelry, and Apollo, taciturn, showed a flash of intolerance, and felt some sympathy for Paris.
Artemis saw her brother's expression and said, "You can't escape what is coming. Let's wait for fate's final decision."
Apollo nodded slightly and continued to remain silent.
Uninhabited island
After the sacrifice, Pei Ziyun sighed. The attitude of the gods of Mount Olympus was self-evident. Their purpose was only to let him go to the gods to arrange the script. Now he could see that most of his mission had been completed.
"It can be said that when I take Helen to Troy, the coalition forces arrive and a war breaks out, my mission will be completed."
"In the future, the gods will not protect themselves smoothly. Everything will depend on their own strength and the blessing of the gods."
"Forget it, I'll go back to Troy as soon as possible and make all preparations."
During the Trojan War, he had to improve his strength in an orderly manner. He could neither restrain himself nor go too fast. He immediately shouted secretly: "System!"
A small plum blossom appeared quickly, and quickly enlarged, turning into a transparent information frame, with a faint sense of light appearing in front of the eyes.
"Mission: Tuqiongdongjian - no matter how hard you cover yourself, your light will also attract the attention of the gods. Meet the challenge of fate and let your performance move the gods (completed)"
Pei Ziyun clicked lightly and saw an additional destiny point.
"Excluding the consumption, I now have seven destiny points. The precious destiny points can always play a role at critical moments. Moreover, I feel that the plum blossoms remind me that the gathered destiny points have a greater effect."
Just thinking about it, seeing Helen's unnatural expression, Pei Ziyun patted the back of her hand and comforted her: "My dear, don't worry too much, I'm here for everything."
Helen's tone was low: "Paris, the results of sacrificing to the gods are not ideal."
She is the daughter of a god and a queen, so she also sees this, but fortunately there are two gods who use it, so it is not a waste.
"Don't worry, it doesn't matter if the gods don't use my sacrifice. In the end, we still have to rely on ourselves for this battle." Pei Ziyun said.
"But the Greek coalition is really powerful, and Menelaus's brother, King Agamemnon of Mycene, is a great hero. Are you sure you can defeat them?"
"Don't worry, Helen, I will definitely be able to defeat them. You have to know that I am very powerful."
Under Pei Ziyun's guidance, Helen gradually let go of her worries and began to smile.
Pei Ziyun returned to the team, looked at the beef on the altar, and said loudly to the surrounding soldiers and slaves: "Everyone, divide the beef and have a good meal. After that, let's go back to Troy."
"yes!"
The soldiers and slaves divided the beef and feasted on it. After finishing the beef, everyone packed up their belongings and boarded the ship again. With an order, the entire fleet slowly sailed out of the uninhabited island and headed towards Troy.
Pylos
This is an ancient Greek port city, located in the southwest of the Peloponnese Peninsula, on the Ionian Sea, with an island barrier outside, making it a natural harbor.
At this moment, King Menelaus of Sparta was visiting Pylos, and the wise King Nestor of Pylos was hosting a banquet to entertain Menelaus, a guest from afar.
The banquet hall was very large. King Nestor was reclining on a wool-padded seat, with beautiful maids pouring wine and feeding him. It was very comfortable and comfortable.
The banquet was very lively, and Nestor fully demonstrated the host's enthusiasm. There were all kinds of wine and delicacies at the banquet. Beautiful dancers performed fiery dances, troubadours sang beautiful poems, and even noble warriors performed sword performances. art.
Menelaus drank the wine from the cup and felt comfortable. He visited Pylos this time and reached preliminary cooperation with King Nestor.
"Dear Nestor, for the friendship between our two countries, we drink this drink." Menelaus said loudly.
"Come on, do it." Nestor, King of Pylos, raised the wine glass in his hand, stood up, and shook the wine glass in his hand towards Menelaus.
Menelaus was very satisfied with every arrangement made by Nestor. When the banquet was at its climax, a Spartan messenger rushed in in a hurry, but was stopped by the guards at the scene because he was too eager.
"What are you doing?" The guards at the scene stopped the messenger. They were two kings and could not let people in and out at will.
"I am the messenger of Sparta. King Menelaus knows me. I have important things to report to the king." The messenger said.
After careful interrogation and identity confirmation, the messenger stumbled to Menelaus and told him a very unfortunate news.
Menelaus's face changed drastically, and the messenger's words were like a bolt from the blue. He was so shocked that he stood stunned, and for a time he thought he was hallucinating.
"The news...is it reliable?" Menelaus said each word from between his teeth, his face so gloomy that it could drip with water.
"King, it's absolutely true." The messenger emphasized the authenticity again.
King Menelaus of Sparta, who confirmed the news, was so furious that he immediately kicked over the banquet table, spilled the food and wine on the floor, and left the banquet hall with a gloomy face without saying a word.
Nestor, king of Pylos, was very surprised at Menelaus's gaffe, and at the same time he was very angry and said: "Menelaus is so rude."
"I invited him to a banquet, and he kicked over the table rudely. Where did this put his face?" King Nestor thought.
But then someone reported to him what was happening in faraway Sparta.
"Dear Nestor, I have just received news that Helen, the wife of Menelaus, was snatched away by Paris, the prince of Troy, and the palace of Sparta was bloodbathed."
"What?" Nestor fell down in his seat, obviously shocked by the news. Although Troy was a big country, how could he dare to offend Sparta like this
"No wonder Menelaus is so angry. Anyone who encounters such a thing will be furious. I forgive his rudeness." Nestor thought and continued to ask: "Where has he gone now?"
"It has already rushed straight to the dock and ordered the fleet to set sail. Looking at the direction, it is heading to Mykeni."
"No wonder, Menelaus must have moved reinforcements." Nestor murmured, sweeping across the embarrassed banquet hall, waving his hand: "Go and clean up quickly - war is coming."
McKennie
At this time, Mykonen had replaced Crete and became the most powerful kingdom in Greece, with a vague attitude of being the leader of the Greek alliance.
King Agamemnon and Queen Clytaenes were patrolling their territory with great satisfaction. Agamemnon took a quick look and saw the blue sea. The sunlight filtered through the shallow sea, and corals and fish could also be seen. Above, , hundreds of sea ships came in and out, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of heroism in my heart.
"Dear Clytaenes, you see, this is the kingdom given to us by the great Zeus." Agamemnon said, pointing to the prosperous harbor.
Queen Clytaenes was the daughter of Queen Leda of Sparta, and Leda was the woman who gave birth to Helen to Zeus.
Now as Mykonen becomes more and more powerful, King Agamemnon gradually has the ambition to unify the entire Greece.
At this moment, a fleet appeared on the sea in the distance, the port bell rang instantly, and soldiers stood on guard with spears.
"Oh, who has the guts to attack the great Mykenae?" King Agamemnon said sarcastically. It's just a merchant ship. It can enter and exit without notifying it in advance. According to the rules, warships must notify in advance, and It was obvious that this fleet had no compatriots in advance—so it was on alert.
Just looking at the size of the fleet in the distance, Agamemnon was not worried about the enemy at all. He believed that if the opponent was really an enemy, the attack on Mykonen would only be a failure.
The bell rang rapidly for a while and then stopped ringing. It seemed that someone had delivered the message.
After a short while, the alert of the soldiers at the port was lifted, and the distant fleet was allowed to slowly approach the port.
After waiting for a while, a figure rushed up and hugged Agamemnon. He cried like a child, crying sadly and sadly.
"Oh, Menelaus, what's wrong with you?" Agamemnon asked doubtfully.
After all, Menelaus was also the king of Sparta, so he wouldn't cry like this over a trivial matter. It was because he was in big trouble that he could lose his composure like this.
Menelaus, king of Sparta, and his brother Agamemnon, king of Mycene, were the most powerful royal family of Greek heroes.
Both were descended from Tantalus, son of Zeus, grandson of Pelops and son of Atreus. This is a noble family.
In addition to ruling Argos and Sparta, many kings of Greece were allies.
Just listen to Menelaus say: "Brother, please help me. My wife Helen was snatched away by Paris, the prince of Troy, and my palace was also bloodbathed by him. I want to take my wife back immediately. I We must avenge him and let them repay their debt with blood!"
