Hector could no longer hold on and fell with a crash, but the vitality of the powerful hero could still make Hector plead: "Achilles, I beg you with your life, no matter how much you want. Gold or silver is fine, as long as my body is returned to Troy and the Trojans can bury me according to the funeral rites.”
Achilles looked cold, shook his head, and replied coldly: "You are the murderer of my friend Patroclus. Even if Priam is willing to give out an equal weight of gold as your ransom, I will not If you agree, I will feed your body to the dogs."
Achilles believes that Hector's killing of his friend Patroclus is absolutely unforgivable. Patroclus has not been buried yet, but Hector is to be used as a memorial to Patroclus.
More importantly, Achilles was filled with rage.
"Don't I know that fate shows its ferocious face? For Patroclus, I have to embark on this road, what else do I have to lose?" Achilles thought to himself, anger cannot be vented to God, Just face Hector naturally.
"I knew it." Hector spat out blood and said. He was almost exhausted. He could still speak at this time, but was supported by the unwillingness in his heart.
"I know you are a hard-hearted person and will not sympathize with me."
"But in this way you have broken the divine law, and when the gods avenge me, when you are shot and lying dying at the central gate of Troy, you will remember my words."
After Hector finished speaking this last prophecy, his soul left his body and flew into the underworld in the blink of an eye.
But Achilles shouted: "Just die! No matter how Zeus and the gods arrange my fate, I will accept it!"
"Now, feed the dogs!" Achilles hated Hector so much that he ignored everything he said and vowed to drag the body back to pay tribute to his friend.
After saying that, Achilles took it upon himself to peel off the bloody armor that originally belonged to him from Hector's corpse.
"Hector is dead, Hector is dead!"
Achilles killed Hector, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Trojans on the battlefield. Hector has always been the protector of Troy. As long as he is still on the battlefield, everyone will not panic.
But at this moment, Hector was killed by Achilles. The morale of the Trojans fell to the bottom instantly, while the morale of the Greeks rose. This directly led to the fact that the Trojans could no longer resist the Greeks, and they were defeated one after another, heading towards Troy. Flee the city.
Pei Ziyun saw this and shouted: "System!"
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: Your power allows you to control your destiny. Use 1 point of good omen to force the gods to temporarily stand by your side to protect your safety."
At that moment, Pei Ziyun pressed on this without hesitation.
"I have 24 destiny points, and I am only 1 destiny point away from issuing the oracle, but I am willing to spend 1 point for Hector."
Just when he pressed it, Achilles suddenly changed. He killed Hector and then stood up. Suddenly a huge rainbow hung down in the sky, and its landing point was Achilles.
Achilles was showered in the rainbow, reflecting the golden light. The Greeks who had just won the victory were stunned. They had no intention of chasing him. Instead, they rushed around Achilles like a tide to watch. They all looked at the god with complicated eyes. The same Achilles, and Hector lying on the ground. After all, Hector was the first general of Troy. He was invincible on the battlefield and left a deep impression on the Greeks.
Achilles looked at the Greeks who were watching and said loudly: "Friends and heroes, thank God for letting me kill this man. We want to see how long Troy can resist without Hector?"
Achilles' words, according to common history, are indeed true. Not long after the death of Hector, the city of Troy was captured by the Greeks.
"But my friend Patroclus is still lying on the ship and has not been buried. Let us sing a song of triumph and bring back the enemy I killed to pay tribute to my friend!"
As Achilles spoke, he didn't even leave the dead man in the chariot. He took a knife, poked a hole in the ankle and heel of Hector's corpse, and passed the belt through the hole. Tied to the chariot.
This approach was extremely disrespectful to the deceased. There were Greeks around who hesitated to speak, but in the end they remained silent.
Now that Achilles has killed Hector, his prestige is at its peak, and he is still very upset about Hector killing Patroclus. At this time, if someone tries to persuade him to respect the dead, he will probably be severely rejected. go back.
Achilles jumped on the chariot, flicked his whip, and the horses started running automatically. The chariot dragged Hector's body and sped towards the warship.
olympus
The chariot dragged Hector's body. Soon, the heroic Hector was covered with mud, and his flesh and blood were torn off by sharp stones and wooden thorns, staining small pieces red.
Zeus looked gloomily at everything Achilles did, while Apollo's expression became even gloomier and terrifying. Even the Greek gods shook their heads when they looked at Achilles, having sentenced him to death in their hearts.
It is the destiny of heroes to kill each other, but few dare to insult the dead. King Creon of Thebes made funeral arrangements for his two nephews, and Eteocles, who died for his country, held a grand funeral. The citizens took the hearse to the cemetery, but even though the traitor Polynices was his nephew, his body was buried outside the city without being buried.
Because of this, King Creon was destroyed.
Because of Hades, but also because of the will of the gods, and Hector is also a descendant of Zeus!
"Great King of the Gods Zeus, fate has evolved rapidly. Achilles will soon face the punishment of fate for desecrating the corpse."
Seeing this unexpected rainbow, even Hera changed her expression. Instead of speaking for her beloved son Achilles, she said this to Zeus.
After hearing this, Zeus' expression became better: "Since you think so too, then make this decision."
As he spoke, he calmly ordered in a low voice: "Quick, go and ask the goddess of fate what happened."
Troy
The battle outside the city can be seen clearly from the city. Everyone in Troy stood on the city to watch the war.
In the beginning, the two sides were evenly matched, but since Achilles massacred Trojan heroes and soldiers, the Trojans' expressions became ugly.
When Hector's mother Hecuba saw Hector's misfortune in the city, she tore off her veil with grief and anger and burst into tears.
"My child, the enemy is so cruel. It's not enough to kill you, but they also insult your body. Wuwu..."
Hecuba's sadness infected Priam. Although he was heartbroken when he saw Hector being killed by Achilles, as a king, he still managed to remain calm. Now he was infected and cried bitterly. Runny nose.
"My child Hector, your fate has been so unfair to you. After your death, your body will be subjected to such humiliation. Don't worry, I will definitely redeem your body."
The crying of King Priam and Queen Hecuba infected a group of people, and many elders could not help but wipe away their tears. Hector's reputation and reputation in Troy were good, and his death undoubtedly affected everyone in Troy. It's a big blow.
But when the Trojans saw Achilles abusing Hector's body, the city wailed and mourned. The news that Hector was killed and the body had been abused spread throughout the city of Troy instantly, and everyone All were filled with indignation against Achilles. , there was a cry of wailing throughout the city, and everyone felt sad and sad for Hector's misfortune.
"What a kind man Hector is, who suffered such abuse from his enemies." This is what a woman in the city said while covering her face and crying.
"God, please have mercy on Hector, let him not suffer such misfortune, and let his soul rest in peace." An old Trojan prayed.
"Don't worry, the gods will definitely punish the Greeks for their sins." A middle-aged man said.
The news that Hector was killed by Achilles and that the body was insulted quickly spread back to the palace. When Andromache heard the news, she fainted and fell straight down. Fortunately, the maid saw the opportunity quickly. , catching her body.
Pei Ziyun was retreating. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help but stop when he saw all this and touched the hilt of his sword.
Pei Ziyun was also very angry about Achilles' insult to the corpse. If he could, he would rush forward and kill Achilles right now.
At this time, the shadow suddenly moved and spoke: "Paris, you are very wise not to go. Achilles' fate has now reached its highest peak. If you go, you will also be killed."
"However, Achilles killed Hector and thus consumed most of his fate. Do you know what would have happened to Troy without the blows of the gods?"
The mysterious shadow always spoke to Pei Ziyun when the gods were not paying attention.
"Greece is surrounded by the sea on three sides, with short and rapid rivers and many twists and turns of harbors on the coast. It is a good place for navigation and trade. However, the territory is mountainous, three-quarters of it is mountainous, and agriculture is inherently deficient, making it impossible to achieve hegemony."
“Without this war, Troy, which controls trade and has a lot of farmland, will continue to grow. In Hector’s generation, he will be able to rule Asia Minor and even go north to obtain a rich granary. By then, Greece will be vulnerable. "After hearing this, Pei Ziyun suppressed his anger, thought for a while, and said gloomily.
The mysterious shadow nodded slightly, agreeing with what Pei Ziyun said.
"You are right. Without the attack of the gods, the Greeks would not be the opponents of the Trojans. Hector has the potential to become a true king, so Apollo favors him like this."
"And Achilles' killing of Hector will also consume his destiny. Wait a minute, his death is not far away."
"You are not Achilles' opponent yet, but you have obtained three drops of divine blood. Go back to the city and carry out your destiny journey. I will help you take revenge and kill Achilles."
The mysterious shadow's words were very tempting, but Pei Ziyun remained unmoved and said, "No need, I can do it myself by killing Achilles - tell me, what should I do on the journey of destiny?"
"There is a dense forest ahead. I have drawn a ritual. As long as you find the location, the divine blood you obtained will activate."
The mysterious shadow immediately gave corresponding measures.
Pei Ziyun looked around and saw a dense forest not far ahead. He jumped off the chariot, took a step forward, and ran towards the dense forest quickly. He reached the dense forest in less than a moment.
There were few people in the dense forest, so Pei Ziyun immediately got in. With his induction, he found the location mentioned by the phantom lady in the dense forest.
"It's here." The shadow made a voice. Feeling that no one was paying attention, Pei Ziyun stepped on it hard and suddenly asked: "Is the enemy strong this time?"
"It's not very strong, but it's very annoying." The phantom lady said.
Pei Ziyun nodded and stepped forward.
"Boom!" Everything in front of him suddenly changed.
