"die!"

Pei Ziyun's spear blocked the ten-man Greek spear in front of him and penetrated his chest. Blood flowed down the spear shaft from his heart.

Then, Pei Ziyun turned like the wind, thrust his spear, and penetrated the throat of the Greek who rushed forward, pulling it out with a cloud of blood mist, leaving a deep hole.

"Prince Paris, be careful!" the slave shouted from behind.

The two Greeks shouted and stabbed with their spears one after another. Pei Ziyun turned around and smashed the spear with his spear. The powerful force immediately knocked the spear away, and then stabbed him, killing him immediately.

There was also a Greek who roared angrily, and he stabbed quickly even as he didn't have time to withdraw his spear.

"Innocent!" Pei Ziyun hit the man's chest hard with the handle of his gun. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell down. The slave rushed forward and killed the man.

The surrounding area suddenly became empty. At this time, the slave had placed Philoctetes on the chariot, along with the bow and arrows of Hercules. Only by holding this divine bow in his own hands could he feel at ease, because in the original history, Paris He died under this divine bow.

"Retreat, return to Troy immediately." After killing two heroes in a row and seizing Hercules' bow and arrows, Pei Ziyun drank immediately without hesitation.

olympus

Hercules, who was at the foot of the mountain, looked at the fighting in the Greek camp with a sullen face. He already knew the fate of his good friend Philoctetes.

Last night, Hercules also told Philoctetes through a dream that he would come to pick him up.

When he saw Philoctetes being shot by Paris, Hercules had veins on his forehead and roared: "Paris, you will die by the arrow like Philoctetes. "

He just didn't get up immediately, because Heracles had already ascended to the gods. He understood that Philoctetes killed Cynos, the son of Poseidon, the sea god. Poseidon's anger had changed Philoctetes. The thread of fate of Thes is now just a pretense of Paris shooting Philoctetes.

However, the next behavior of Prince Paris completely angered him. Paris dared to take away the bow and arrows that Hercules gave to Philoctetes. Heracles was furious: "Paris, what are you doing?" court death."

After saying that, he stood up and went down to kill Paris.

"You can't go." A voice sounded. The voice was very threatening, causing Heracles, who had just become a god, to feel frightened.

Then, there was a flash of golden light in front of him, revealing a young man with a long bow on his back. Apollo, the god of long-range shooting, saw what Hercules was doing and stood up to stop him.

Heracles had dealt with Apollo when he was alive, but he didn't feel deeply about it at that time. Now that he has become a god, he can truly feel the power of Apollo.

Apollo is one of the twelve main gods of Mount Olympus, and he is indeed much more powerful than himself.

Although Hercules was very angry, he still controlled his anger: "Apollo, you want to stop me? Just because of this mortal?"

Heracles' tone was harsh. If it were not Apollo, but a lowly god, he might not pay attention at all and take action directly.

This hero was egotistical by nature and would kill anyone who dared to disobey him. He was known for his jealousy. When he was young, he killed his teacher, Apollo's son, the white-haired Linos, over a trivial matter.

Moreover, when the city of Troy was conquered last time, because Telamon took the lead, Heracles felt that his friend had surpassed him. He was angry and anxious, filled with jealousy, and drew his sword to kill his friend Telamon who was ahead of him. kill.

If Telamon hadn't been astute and saw something bad, he immediately knelt down and said: "I will build an altar here for the victor Hercules!"

Only to be spared.

You can imagine what this person's character is like.

But Apollo had no scruples now and sneered: "Hercules, you were once a mortal, and with the permission of fate, you became a god, but you still have no divine status on Mount Olympus. "

"I once offered a sacrifice to Prince Paris, and Yun said - I will save you once, but you can't kill him just because of this."

"And at that time, you were favored by fate. Many gods did not want to go against fate to avoid the danger of falling asleep, so they allowed you to be presumptuous."

"Although you have become a god now, you have lost the favor of fate. Do you still want to disobey me and become my enemy?" Apollo said disdainfully.

Hercules is the son of Zeus, which is nothing, as are Hermes, the Furies, Hecate, Hestia, and Dionysus. Dionysus) who could not slay him

Only Calypso and Hebe can.

It was only destiny at that time that Heracles was able to run rampant and repeatedly clashed with the gods without being severely punished. But now, Hercules's status and strength have been improved, but he has lost the protection of fate and offended The consequences for the gods exploded immediately.

Think about it, how many sons of gods did Hercules kill and how many gods did he come into direct conflict with while performing his twelve labors

That's why Hera was able to become a god after Hercules, and after marrying Hebe to him according to destiny, she immediately kicked him out of Mount Olympus without even having a real godhood!

Fate did not say that Hercules should have a godly position.

Strictly speaking, Hercules was an immortal but demi-god without authority!

Apollo saw Hercules's face ashen and took a breath again. After all, Hercules had become a god and was a member of the immortals. He said, "Of course the most important thing is that the gods are all fake." Mortal hands act and rarely kill mortals directly. Have you ever thought about the reason?"

Hercules listened to Apollo say this, his anger gradually subsided and fell into silence.

Gods used mortals to take action without directly intervening in mortal affairs. He had seen this many times during his stay on Mount Olympus.

Let’s not talk about it, let’s just say that Poseidon recently killed his good friend Philoctetes under the guise of Paris. He has never delved into the underlying reasons. Now it seems that it is not as simple as it seems.

"Could it be that directly interfering with mortals would easily cause disputes between gods?" Hercules thought, shaking off the thoughts in his mind, but did not take the next step.

Hercules knew that since Apollo had stopped him, at least this time, he would not let himself hurt Paris. It seemed that he had to think long and hard to avenge his friend.

"Apollo, I can promise you not to attack Paris directly this time, but my bow and arrows must be taken back." Hercules said.

"Yes." Hercules wanted to take back his bow and arrows. This was a matter of course. Apollo immediately agreed and said: "Hercules, as for your anger, I believe that our father, the great Zeus will promise something."

After seeing Cynos pull out his sword and commit suicide, the gods looked at each other, and there was a brief silence. Cynos was not so much a suicide, but rather was killed by Philoctetes. There was no such fatal thing. Even with one arrow, Kuknos would not choose this path.

Looking at the angry Poseidon, no god would choose to speak at this time. If he is not careful, he may offend Poseidon.

Poseidon is not a low-ranking god. His status in Mount Olympus is second only to Zeus. Like Hades, no god is willing to offend easily.

After Paris killed Philoctetes and brought Heracles's bow and arrows back to Troy, the gods began to whisper.

"Paris obtained Hercules' bow and arrows. Has he escaped his original fate?"

Athena watched the discussion among the gods and knew that only Zeus would come forward at this time, and Paris's handling would also depend on Zeus's attitude.

She stood up and said, "Now, let us hear what our great father has to say."

As he spoke, he pushed aside the clouds in the middle, revealing a scene in the lower realm.

Trojan Palace

The body of Philoctetes was placed in the middle of the field. His armor had been stripped off, but his clothes were still on. Many people surrounded him, saying: "Cynos, behold your enemy Philoctetes." already dead."

Pei Ziyun listened quietly in the hall.

"King Cynos is so brave. I didn't expect to be attacked by this despicable Greek and end up like this." A Trojan elder lamented.

"Cynos is invulnerable, but he can't stop the poisonous arrows. The poisonous arrows of Hydra are too powerful. Fortunately, we have captured this divine bow." Troilus, the prince of Troy, said with emotion. , he admires his brother Prince Paris more and more. .

"No matter how powerful humans are, they cannot resist the cruelty of fate." A Trojan elder with white hair and beard sighed.

King Priam looked at everything in the hall.

The death of Cynos really shocked him a lot. He knew that Cynos's power might attract the attention of the gods, but he always thought that Cynos was the son of the great Poseidon and would be fine. But even Cynos' father, Poseidon, did not come to rescue him, leaving him with an ominous feeling.

However, in a blink of an eye, Paris killed Philoctetes. While Priam was happy, he also had new worries. He turned around and asked Hector, who was standing quietly: "Hector?" ,What do you think?"

Whenever something big happens in Troy, Hector is calm and never gets into trouble, and Priam likes to ask for advice every time.

However, what is more important now is that although Paris behaved very modestly and expressed many times that he had no intention of competing with Hector for the succession to the throne, everyone could feel the achievements and talents of Prince Paris.

Now, many princes and elders are moving closer to Prince Paris, even covering up Hector's glory. King Priam really doesn't want to see his two outstanding sons fighting against each other.

But now Troy needs an excellent prince even more to survive the disaster and even win.

I was stuck for a while today. Now I have figured it out. There will be another chapter later.
