Skouros Island Port

The port is busier today, with fifty more warships. Servants are carrying supplies to and from the warships. Achilles has already put on a battle robe and even armor. His eyebrows are slender, his pupils are black, and his lips are It shows a light color and looks noble.

She looks very handsome now, but she is no longer a girl, but a brave warrior.

A car came slowly in the distance and stopped slowly when it reached the port. A real girl got out of it. Odysseus looked and found that she was one of the princesses.

"It's Deidamia, the daughter of King Lycomedes." The prophet Calchas took a look and said.

Idamia was crying and walking towards where Achilles was standing. When she came to Achilles, she hugged him tightly and cried even louder.

Not long ago, Deidamia discovered the secret that Achilles was a boy, and the two fell in love.

At this moment, she hugged Achilles: "My dear, I finally found out your identity, and now you are leaving. Troy is so far away. When can you come back?"

"Dear Deidamia, I am also very sad to say goodbye to you, but my fate makes me have to go to Troy with the two envoys."

"But don't worry, I will be back soon." Achilles said.

"Dear, do you know? I already have your child in my belly, and he also hopes that you will come back as soon as possible." Deidamia whispered.

"Really?" Achilles asked in surprise. When Idamia nodded, Achilles was so excited that he hugged Idamia tightly in his arms.

He really didn't expect that Deidamia would bring this good news. Facing Deidamia who was already pregnant, he felt that he should help the Greeks defeat Troy as soon as possible so as to rush back to Scylos Island as soon as possible.

"Dear Deidamia, I promise you that I will be back soon, and then I hope to see our child born."

"Go ahead, I'm waiting for your triumphant return." Deidamia wiped the tears on her face and said with a smile.

Achilles kissed her forehead and turned to board the warship.

"There is already a child in the belly." Calkas, the prophet in the distance, suddenly said with a flash of eyes, "This is the will of the gods."

Odysseus nodded, agreeing with this statement, but said nothing.

"Set sail." The flagman waved the sail flag, and a series of sailing orders were issued. All the sails of the warship were opened, and they slowly sailed out of Skuros Island and headed towards Troy.

The gods had a panoramic view of the situation on Skuros Island from the clouds and mist. Watching the fleet set off, everyone knew that the Trojan War was about to usher in another turning point.

"Achilles sets off."

Watching the ships setting off and sailing out of the port, Hera's mind was not here at the moment, and she asked Hermes: "Is there anything wrong with Deidamia's child?"

Hera was very concerned about the fetus in Deidamia's belly. She did not want to cut off Achilles and have another one who was similar or even more powerful than him appear.

"Don't worry, there is no problem. I have personally checked that her child is normal. Her bloodline has dropped sharply, and she only has the bloodline equivalent to the third-generation god descendant."

Hermes paused and then said: "I have asked the goddess of fate about this matter, and she did not find anything unusual."

Since the example of Hercules appeared in the past, no one wants to see overly powerful heroes among human heroes. People with powerful divine blood are undoubtedly potential threats, because only they can become something that even the gods feel Tricky people.

Hera nodded, very satisfied with Hermes' answer. All things were actually arranged by Zeus, and she was just executing Zeus's will.

There was a prophecy that Thetis would give birth to a child far superior to his father. This aroused the alarm of Zeus, who immediately terminated his pursuit of her and married her to Peleus, king of the Myrmidons.

Peleus is just the grandson of Zeus, and he himself belongs to the third generation of divine descendants. But the child Achilles born to him and Thetis has divine blood that is close to catching up with Heracles (son of Zeus). This is A typical atavistic phenomenon, quite second generation.

This had to remind Zeus of the prophecy, and if it could be observed, the child's divine blood was still growing, so it had to be cut off.

However, Idamia's children did not inherit this trait, so there was no need to cut it off.

In fact, it is impossible to inherit it. If this kind of victory can be achieved from generation to generation, not to mention fate, not even the world can bear it.

"Continue to observe and pay attention, wait until the child is born, and check it." Hera ordered.

"I will observe." Hermes promised.

"Also, you see, Troy is getting stronger and stronger. This is not in the interest of Greece. Achilles must clean it up." Hera said again.

"I understand." Hermes said, moving his gaze towards the port - the port of Troy.

Amazon Queen Penthesilea led the fleet to land, and led the powerful female warriors of the Amazons to slowly walk down from the warship.

At the port, even though it was at war, the Trojan guards were arranged in two rows with a thick blanket spread in the middle to show respect for the guests coming from afar.

"Isn't this a little too grand? Why are there gorgeous carpets under my feet? This is the etiquette to welcome the gods. It is too much to welcome a mortal. Please remove these respectful etiquettes, otherwise the gods will be jealous of me!" Pente Silea was very moved. After saying this, she still walked across the carpet. A golden chariot pulled by four horses was quietly parked there. The servants had bowed to Queen Penthesilea. Opened the car curtain.

Penthesilea got into the chariot. As soon as she was seated, the driver started the chariot.

"Bang." There was a clear sound of a riding crop, and four horses pulled the golden carriage and galloped towards the city of Troy.

The Amazon female warriors followed behind on Amazon horses.

The chariot drove to the gate of Troy and slowly slowed down. Even the allies who came to help Troy were inspected before being allowed in.

Because the Greeks were stationed at the port of Troy not far away, and in order to prevent accidents from happening, inspections at the gates of the city of Troy were always very strict.

The chariot entered the city of Troy, and again, driven by the driver, it flew towards the palace.

After a while, Penthesilea noticed that the chariot gradually slowed down.

When she took a look, she found that the chariot was parked in front of a palace, and judging from the size of the palace, it was far larger than their Amazons.

But Penthesilea wouldn't know that their Amazon palace was so miserable that it was ranked last among the kingdoms and city-states of Asia Minor.

King Priam of Troy was already waiting at the gate of the palace with a group of people. He watched the chariot stop at the gate of the palace and went to greet it.

When Priam saw the woman getting off the chariot, he immediately knew that she was the famous Amazon Queen Penthesilea.

He said: "Dear Queen Penthesilea, welcome you to come from afar. Troy will be prosperous because of your arrival. We have prepared a grand banquet for you in the palace. Please come with me."

With that said, Priam personally guided the Amazon Queen Penthesilea and took her all the way to the banquet restaurant.

Penthesilea originally thought she would arrive at Troy alone, but when she entered the banquet hall with Priam, she found that the hall was filled with kings and heroes of kingdoms and city-states.

Everyone saw the Amazon Queen coming in, and there was a king who was familiar with her, and they greeted her.

"Mysia, Lyrnassus, Thebes, and now the Amazons, our ranks of Trojans are getting stronger and stronger."

King Priam looked at the Trojan allies in the hall with a red face. This power was unimaginable before.

"Now more and more city-states and kingdoms are gathering together to resist the tyranny of the Greeks, and our strength is growing stronger. I seem to see the dawn of victory."

Priam thought of this and sighed, this was a matter of course.

The Greeks were engaged in expeditions. In order to provide logistical supplies, they naturally had to attack nearby city-states and plunder wealth and food to supplement themselves.

If Troy did not go to war and help these city-states attacked by the Greeks, then these city-states would not be able to withstand the Greek attacks, and it would be a matter of time before they were defeated one by one.

The dead person has no complete revenge, so there is no backlash. There is no narcotic retribution here.

But now with the support of Troy, although some city-states were attacked, families were destroyed, and became a source of strength for the Greeks, most of the city-states survived. Moreover, these city-states experienced wars and many people died. The surviving city-states , all vowed to fight the Greeks to the end.

This is undoubtedly good news for Troy, and these people will become Troy's strongest allies.

"All of this is Paris's achievement, but where is this son now?"

King Priam sighed secretly. He looked at Oenone and Helen sitting in the corner. He felt sad as he saw them sitting dullly.

The sense of pride that had just arose was gone when he remembered Paris' disappearance.

Priam knew that without Paris' advice, Troy would not be in such a situation. Facing the powerful Greeks, it might have been passive. It would not be the same as now. From time to time, the Greeks could counterattack. people.

The atmosphere of the banquet was very good, and everyone had a good conversation and discussed how to deal with the Greeks.

"Everyone, how honored I am to be able to travel all the way across mountains and rivers to help Troy resist the arrogant Greeks. Let us raise the glasses in our hands and toast to tomorrow's victory." Priam said loudly With.

"Cheers." All the princes and heroes raised their glasses together.
