Chapter 618: The smell of death

Views:

Hector was speaking: "Andromache, there is always a voice in my heart ordering me to fight on the fiercest front. Although I have a premonition that Troy will be destroyed one day, my father Priam Sri Lanka and its people will also be destroyed.”

Hearing this, Pei Ziyun was a little silent.

"This may be Apollo's will."

"Even the will of the gods."

"Not only is Hector the strongest hero in Troy, but he also has the responsibility of killing as many Greeks as possible - Hector must charge forward until he reaches the end because he kills too many people."

"I don't want Hector himself to have this realization."

"Yes, Hector is a powerful hero, with the blood of many gods such as Zeus, the river god Scamander, and even Aphrodite flowing in his blood. Through various signs, we can judge the final fate of the city of Troy and the fate of people like ourselves."

When the Trojan War first broke out, Hector may have been a little unclear, but after years of war, some hidden truths gradually surfaced, and he became more aware of the nature of the war.

No matter how the Trojans and Greeks fought, the final victory or defeat was actually arranged by God, and neither side had the power to decide who was the final winner.

Through years of observation, Hector clearly felt that except for a few gods who protected Troy, most gods preferred the Greeks.

The reason why the Greeks were forced to be so miserable this time was actually the manipulation of the gods. In other words, the gods wanted the Greeks to fall into misery. As for the reason, Hector was not clear yet. He just smiled bitterly: "Troy will be destroyed. This makes me sad all the time, but what saddens me even more is the pain you will suffer."

"If I fail, the Greeks will take you back and make you a slave, spinning and weaving, carrying water for irrigation, and everyone who sees you will say - Hey, look, this is Hector's wife. "

"Thinking of this, I would rather die right now."

All the Trojans tried their best to avoid the fact that the Trojans might fail, including King Priam and many elders and princes. Hector himself tried not to think about failure when he was outside.

But when he was alone, Hector had to think about the possibility of the Trojans failing in the Battle of Troy, and just thinking about it, the possible misfortune that his wife and children might suffer made him suffer.

Hector can only try his best to win this war, even if he knows that the possibility is getting slimmer.

After Hector finished speaking, he smiled bitterly again and reached out to hug the child, but the child cried and clung to the maid's chest, frightened because he saw the horsehair decoration flying on his father's bronze helmet.

"But it's all Paris's fault. It was he who brought war to Troy." Speaking of this, in the past, Andromache would obediently shut up, but today, she turned pale and shouted loudly. shouted.

She had a strong foreboding in her heart, and she had always believed that this war was Paris's fault, otherwise Troy would not have suffered this terrible war.

It is understandable that Andromache has this understanding. It is not just her. As the war becomes more and more tragic, many people in Troy have this idea. If Pei Ziyun was not elected by the citizens' assembly to go to Greece, he would be in the current situation. It will be tougher.

Hector knew more through years of careful observation. He didn't see it this way and shook his head slightly: "Dear Andromache, I have also understood over the years that this war has nothing to do with Paris. It is God who will bring disaster to Troy.”

"Even if Paris did not bring war to Troy, others would also ignite this war. Dear Andromache, this war is unavoidable and does not depend on anyone's will."

"Andromache, you have to admit that Paris' contribution to this war is no less than mine."

"Without Paris's advice and heroic and tenacious fighting, Troy would not have achieved its current advantage in this war."

Pei Ziyun, who was hiding in the corner, was silent and worried. Historically, the Trojans had never achieved such an advantage. Hector was right.

"So you don't have to be too prejudiced against Paris. If Troy doesn't have me, but as long as he is still there, I believe the Greeks can't do anything to you."

Hector was still full of confidence in his younger brother, not just in terms of force, but in terms of strategizing, which no one in Troy had.

Hector looked at his children Astyanax and Andromache, his eyes full of tenderness, took off his helmet and put it on the ground, kissed his lovely son, and rocked him in his arms.

He looked up to the sky and prayed to the gods: "Zeus and other gods, let my son be like me and become an example to the Trojans!"

"Let him be strong and rule Troy, so that the people will one day say: He is braver than his father Hector, and let his mother be happy with him!"

As he spoke, tears rolled down uncontrollably. Hector held back the tears and put his son in his wife's hands. His wife, Andromache, held the child in her arms and also shed tears.

Hector's premonition was stronger. He even had a premonition that he might not be able to come back if he went out this time. However, he was the heir of Troy, the great hero Hector, and he had to go into battle without hesitation.

His pride and dignity allowed him to face it all calmly even if he had a premonition of the ominous situation.

Hector stroked his wife's cheeks and choked: "My poor wife, don't be sad. No one dares to kill me against God's will, but no one can escape his own fate!"

This statement is very straightforward. If the gods don't let him die, he can't kill himself. If the gods want him to die, he can't escape his fate even if he doesn't go to the battlefield.

After Hector finished speaking, he put on his helmet again and turned away from his wife Andromache and son Astyanax.

Andromache held her son in her arms, weeping sadly, watching Hector's figure gradually disappear from sight, and just murmured: "Hector, how sad I am, God, don't let the unfortunate Destiny has come.”

When Hector turned to leave, his pace was still steady, and there was no panic in the face of the coming war and possible fate.

When Hector turned the corner, he saw Pei Ziyun standing there, seemingly waiting for a long time.

Suddenly, the two brothers fell into silence.

At this time, the sun gradually came out, but it was covered with a layer of clouds. A pale sun passed through the clouds, adding a bit of uneasiness and desolation to the sky.

The moment Pei Ziyun saw Hector in the palace three days ago, he knew that Hector's death had come. Although it was earlier than in history, the war also broke out and reached its climax early.

Pei Ziyun was silent and did not continue, and suddenly said: "Brother, although Andromache has objections to me, no matter what, I will protect her and your children."

That's all Pei Ziyun can do for Hector. He has not become a god and cannot change Hector's fate.

Now, the final fate was about to come, and he believed Hector had a premonition of it.

Hector listened and replied gently: "Good brother, Paris, I feel very comforted after hearing your words. You are a brave man, but let's talk about this later!"

"Now, let us fight side by side."

As soon as he finished speaking, the system was shocked, and a plum appeared quickly in front of his eyes. It quickly enlarged and turned into a transparent information frame with a faint light.

"Mission: Protect Andromache and Astyanax (Unfinished)"

"If that's the case, the mission doesn't even have the option of saving Hector."

"Why did Hector die?" Pei Ziyun suddenly understood as he looked at Hector, who was wearing the divine armor of Achilles and looking dazzling.

"The Trojan War was to kill Achilles and to reduce the number of heroes, but Greece must win the final victory."

"So, the Greeks can die heroes, but they cannot collapse."

"Hector, who has put on the divine armor of Achilles, has the possibility of destroying the Greeks. Therefore, the gods on the side of Greece will unanimously destroy Hector."

"So, you can live without wearing divine armor, but if you wear it, you must die."

"Even myself, I actually hid the hidden danger of death - I put on the armor given to my daughter by Ares."

"When you wear it, it's like the eye of death, but my ranking is behind Hector."

"Princess Hippolyta's kindness was my reminder. I didn't check it for a moment, but it was equivalent to taking over her fate of death."

"Sure enough, one wrong step, one wrong step after another, and you will die without knowing how."

Once Pei Ziyun woke up, he took a deep breath and immediately felt the breath of death. He believed that Hector also had a premonition, and couldn't help but admire Hector for still maintaining a gentle attitude. As expected, he is indeed a hero, and everyone The whole world has it. He suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed: "You are right, let us fight side by side now."

But Pei Ziyun has been in battle for a long time, and once he wakes up, his cunning and cunning will naturally emerge (Note 1), and he asked: "System, can I spend destiny points to add good omen to Achilles?"

When he said this, he hinted at a cold and chilling sneer, and then he heard the system shake, and a stream of information was transmitted.

"Okay? That's fine."

"No, no, I don't need five destiny points of good omen. I only need the good omen of spending 1 destiny point."

"Because the gods are already very wary of Achilles. It doesn't need to be big, just a little bit is enough for the gods to make up their mind."

"And before killing Achilles, in order to prevent Achilles from breaking through his destiny, I will not die."

Achilles has a big problem. Once he breaks through his destiny, or if Zeus kills him, he may really become a god, which may even cause further problems.

"Just trying to survive is not my style."

"In that case, before I obey my fate and kill Achilles, I will force the gods to make a multiple-choice question to get what I want."

As Pei Ziyun thought about it, the system suddenly vibrated again, and a plum appeared quickly in front of his eyes. It quickly enlarged and turned into a transparent information frame with a faint light.

"Mission: Your power allows you to control your destiny, and with a little good omen, the gods have to temporarily stand by your side to protect your safety."

At this time, the two brothers turned to the street.

Chariots were waiting one after another, all of them were warriors who had experienced hundreds of battles. When they saw the two of them, they all shouted: "Prince Hector."

"Prince Paris."

First it was the warriors, then the people called too.

Today, the two of them have become the backbone. Pei Ziyun couldn't help but smile and asked Hector to go up first. Then he jumped on, waved to the people, and then ordered: "Open the city gate and go to battle!"

Note 1: Pei Ziyun truly believes that being cunning and cunning is actually a compliment to himself.
