Greek Camp·Main Tent
The news that the Greeks chasing Pei Ziyun was completely wiped out was brought back by Odysseus. He sadly told how they fell into the Trojans' trick this time, so that he was the only one to escape. This was because of God's favor. .
"This time we fell into Paris's scheme and were led into a valley by him, where a lot of kerosene was prepared. When we rushed there, rockets shot in, and the whole valley was burned instantly."
"I tried my best to escape, but others were trapped inside. In the end, I was protected by the gods before I could escape. Otherwise, we might not even have a person to convey the news."
There was a silence in the Greek camp, and great sorrow was felt in all hearts, mourning for the loss of their heroes, princes, and soldiers.
At the same time, everyone was also angry that the Trojans were despicable. Unexpectedly, the Trojans did not dare to confront them head-on, but instead started to play tricks.
Ajax was very sad when he heard that his half-brother Teucer died at the hands of Paris. This brother had grown up with him since he was a child. Now he entered Hades, and he couldn't help but feel in the tent. A cry of pain.
"Despicable Trojan, how cruel you are, killing my dear brother Teucer, despicable Paris led all this, I swear to the gods, I must revenge on despicable Paris."
"My dear brother, do you know that you did not die in a head-on confrontation with Troy, but in Paris' conspiracy."
"But intrigues can never last long, and I will make the Trojans pay."
At this moment, a loud voice came from outside the camp. Before Ajax could take a closer look, a man quickly ran in and reported: "Prince Ajax, the Trojans have attacked us."
Ajax was furious. He had just heard the news that the Trojans had killed his brother Teucer. He was still in grief and had no place to vent his anger. The Trojans came to the door themselves.
"Quickly, put on my armor and bring me my spear." Ajax quickly put on his armor, picked up his spear and rushed out. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the camp, he encountered a fierce fight.
"Death to you, you vile Trojan!"
The angry Ajax rushed into the fighting team with his spear. He spotted a captain of ten and stabbed him quickly with the spear in his hand.
"Poof." The spear suddenly penetrated the chest of the ten-capion commander, and blood spurted out like a spring. The ten-capion commander had not fully understood what was going on. His vision went dark and he died immediately.
Ajax the Great, who killed a Trojan centurion, still couldn't understand his hatred, and once again stared at a Trojan centurion who was fighting.
The centurion also saw Ajax the Great killing a centurion on his side, so he was secretly on guard when being targeted by him.
However, the difference in strength between ordinary people and heroes was too big, not to mention that Ajax was considered a powerful hero among many heroes. He pulled out his bloody spear and charged all the way.
When the centurion saw that Ajax was indeed charging towards him, he did not panic. Instead, he winked with several companions around him and joined forces to fight against the charging Greek.
This is also a way for ordinary people to deal with heroes.
Several soldiers and captains of ten gradually moved closer to the centurion who was targeted by Ajax. But when Ajax rushed over, they realized that powerful heroes were the main theme of this war.
Ajax, with his indomitable momentum, turned his spear into a bolt of lightning. Before the centurion could react at all, he stabbed the centurion who was targeted by him straight to the heart.
At this time, the Trojan soldiers around the centurion woke up and stabbed Ajax with their spears.
Ajax's movements were much faster than the soldiers' shooting speed.
Before the spear could pierce Ajax's body, Ajax pulled out the spear that had pierced the Trojan centurion. He blocked the incoming spears first and blocked them. With disbelief in their eyes, several soldiers launched a counterattack against them.
In less than a moment, these soldiers were killed by Ajax the Great.
"Surround us." Ajax showed his might and killed Trojan soldiers in succession. However, the number of Trojans was not much less than that of the Greeks. After all, many city-states had joined Troy. Although he killed several Trojans, he was not able to defeat them. The situation on the battlefield did not change much.
At this time, in the sky, a blazing sun was scorching the earth.
In the temple on the top of Mount Ida, Zeus looked down at the battle between the Trojans and the Greeks from the top of the mountain. He felt that the fighting situation between the two sides at this moment was still not good and did not meet his expectations.
In order to make the battle more in line with his inner expectations, as the battle became fierce, Zeus took out a golden scale. He placed two death chips on both ends of the golden scale and weighed them in the air.
Just listen to the "snap" and see that the one representing the Greeks is tilting downwards, while the one representing the Trojans is raised high to the sky.
"Well, it seems fate favors the Trojans this time."
"Boom!" Although the sun was shining brightly, Zeus immediately used a bolt of lightning to fall on the Greek army, announcing the change in their destiny.
This omen frightened the Greeks, and the heroes were dismayed.
The Trojans, however, received great encouragement and may even have gained strength. With the blessing of this power, the Trojans seemed to have endless strength and shouted to kill them. The Greeks were no match at all and were killed one after another. Defeated.
Diomedes saw that the Greek coalition was no match for the Trojans, roared angrily, and rushed towards the Trojans, as if he wanted to use his bravery to reverse the decline of the Greeks.
But he was not lucky. As soon as he rushed out, he met Hector and Aeneas who had just returned.
Hector's strength may be slightly worse than that of Diomedes, but now that Aeneas has been added, he can completely resist it. Even Diomedes is in danger under the attack of the two.
On the other side, Sarpedon, the son of Zeus, resisted the angry Ajax and did not let him massacre the Trojan soldiers wantonly.
The Greeks were completely defeated by the Trojans' attack.
olympus
Hera saw the fighting situation in the Greek camp through the red blood mist, and was extremely anxious. However, she could not intervene in this war personally. She certainly did not dare to violate what Zeus had told her.
So Hera went to Poseidon, the protector of the Greeks, hoping that he could rescue the Greeks.
"Dear Poseidon, you see that the Greeks are completely unable to withstand the attack of the Trojans. You are the protector of the Greeks. Do you want to watch the Greeks lose this war?"
"No, Hera, although I don't want to see the Greeks fail, I don't want to join them casually." Poseidon's power is actually very close to Zeus, but he doesn't want to defy Zeus's will casually.
Hera was helpless, knowing that Poseidon did not dare to disobey her brother Zeus's will, so she could only give up.
At this time, the Greeks had been completely driven into the camp by the Trojans. Relying on the last line of defense, they tenaciously resisted the swarming enemies and prayed painfully for God's protection.
At this time, the gods who protected them seemed not to hear their prayers at all and did not provide them with protection. They were still shrinking their defense line under the attack of the Trojans.
Hera heard the prayers of the Greeks again, and was very sympathetic to the Greeks' plight. She had always been a god who supported the Greek camp, but now she was powerless. She felt extremely frustrated.
Hera turned to Athena and said: "The Greeks are in danger, can we just sit back and do nothing to save them? Look, Hector is chasing them madly and massacring them!"
When Hera said this, Hector was indeed in a deserted place in the Greek camp. No one could resist his attack. The Greek soldiers were like being cut wheat under his attack. Batch fell.
Athena listened to Hera's words and felt equally sad. After all, she was also on the side of the Greek gods. How could she not sympathize with the Greeks when she saw what they were going through
"Our father was cruel," Athena said.
"He has forgotten how I once rescued his son Heracles from danger. Now Thetis has won his favor with her gentleness and coquettishness, and now he hates me when he sees me."
"But I think everything will change. You help me hitch the horse, and I'll persuade my father." In the end, Athena decided to persuade Zeus to change her mind, even though Zeus didn't like her now.
Hera and Athena appeared on the top of Mount Edda together. Zeus had foreseen their arrival and was very annoyed. He had clearly stated that no god was allowed to intervene in the war between Troy and Greece this time, but Athena and Hera came. At this point, he still planned to persuade, which made him feel that Athena and Hera were not obedient to his words.
Zeus said: "The Trojans will achieve greater victory."
This sentence seemed to be meant to be spoken to Athena and Hera. This sentence also directly blocked Athena and Hera who were trying to persuade him, making them unable to speak.
"The powerful Hector will drive the Greeks all the way to the stern of the ship. When the Greeks are desperate, they will invite the humiliated Achilles again. This is the arrangement of the goddess of fate."
Zeus announced his "script" arrangement, which was determined not to accept anyone's persuasion.
Hera listened silently, feeling sad now.
Athena was also silent. She felt that Zeus's words were very straightforward. No matter how much she said, it would not help.
But in their hearts, both goddesses were angry at Achilles.
"Yes, that's it. Hatred can weaken the blessing of Achilles' destiny." Zeus thought to himself. At this time, the fighting in the Greek camp became more and more intense, and the last line of defense of the Greeks was about to be breached.
