"It's the power of Hephaestus."
Pei Ziyun was shocked, knowing that it was the gods who had made him unable to move, which made him frightened and angry. It was obvious that after Achilles died, his use value was gone, and he thought: "This will soon burn down the bridge."
He didn't resist. His feet gave way, his body automatically dwindled down, and he missed his vital point with an arrow.
"Pfft." An arrow hit the shoulder. As soon as it made contact, severe pain penetrated deeply, and the wound quickly rotted and turned black.
Pei Ziyun knew that this might be the poisonous arrow that killed Kuknos. It might not be easy to deal with it. He had to find a place where no one was around to find a way to drain the poison.
He quickly said: "Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw, close the city gate."
Pei Ziyun knew that the gods would not allow him to seize Achilles' armor, so he no longer hesitated and withdrew towards the city.
"Bring back Achilles' body." The Greeks shouted when they saw all the Trojans retreating into the city.
Troy Palace
Princess Cassandra woke up with a sound of "Ah" and found that she was half lying on the bed. Her mouth felt dry. She saw a kettle not far away. She leaned on one arm and took a sip. She felt cool before she woke up. She only felt a kettle on her forehead. It's all sweat.
She had a nightmare just now. In the dream, Troy was destroyed, and the entire city of Troy fell into massacre. Faced with Troy's tragic experience, Cassandra, who knew about it in advance, was filled with grief. She saw everything, Loudly warned the Trojans to be careful, but everyone was indifferent and could not hear the shouts at all.
In the end, she screamed until her voice became hoarse and she couldn't make a sound, and then she watched Troy destroyed. This was simply unbearable for her.
"Dreams can be true. No one listens to my prophecies." Cassandra was gradually falling into the nightmare again. At this moment, a palace maid came in from outside and shouted: "Princess, princess !”
Cassandra woke up with sweat on her face and looked at everything around her in shock.
"I had a terrible nightmare!" Princess Cassandra said with lingering fear.
"Yes, princess." The maid replied. As soon as she came in, she saw that the princess was having a nightmare.
"I have a premonition that Troy is about to be destroyed." Cassandra murmured to herself with a heavy expression, but she did not intend to say this to a maid: "What did you call me for?"
"Princess, Prince Paris was shot by a poisonous arrow on the battlefield." The maid reported.
"What?" Kassandra was greatly shocked when she heard the news that Paris was injured. Paris had hardly been injured since the war. Unexpectedly, he was also injured this time. It seemed that the war was getting more and more intense.
Moreover, this younger brother is related to the survival of Troy. He was injured at this critical moment. This has to make people wonder, can Troy still withstand the Greek attack
She stood up and grabbed the maid's shoulders anxiously, saying, "How is Paris injured? Take me over quickly."
"Princess, the doctor is treating Prince Paris. Please come with me." He said, guiding Cassandra out of the room.
Cassandra quickly followed the maid to the front hall, where King Priam was standing anxiously.
Kassandra walked into the hall without saying a word, but looked at where Pei Ziyun was lying, where a group of palace doctors were treating Pei Ziyun.
The palace doctors discussed treatment plans from time to time, but after a while, they all shook their heads. One of the doctors stood up and said: "Prince Paris, the poison you have been poisoned is exactly the same as the poison that King Cynos was poisoned with." , only the gods can cure this poison, there is nothing we can do.”
Kassandra listened to the discussion, and suddenly remembered an oracle. The oracle said that Paris was injured, and only Oenone could save Paris from death.
She immediately said: "Paris, where is your wife?"
"We have already gone to Mount Ida." Pei Ziyun said.
"Then you should go to Mount Ida to find your wife Oenone. Only she can save you." Kassandra immediately said: "This is the content of the oracle. You once asked Athena for it. Pass."
Then, Cassandra immediately pointed to a few servants and said: "Quick, quick, you guys carry Prince Paris to Mount Ida."
Several servants looked at King Priam. Priam was thoughtful and said: "Go, Paris, go and get treatment, and come back when the injury is healed."
The servant was about to lift Pei Ziyun, and Pei Ziyun moved in his heart and said, "Kassandra, there is no benefit in staying here. Follow me to Mount Ida, believe me."
Pei Ziyunzhi said this because he knew that Troy was about to be destroyed, and there was no benefit to Cassandra staying here, and she might be captured by the Greeks.
As for the injuries he suffered, they were all consequences he had to endure without threatening his life by following the original "script".
Historically, Paris died at this point, and Pei Ziyun will be reborn. There will be no restraints in the future, everything will be free to play, and he will no longer have to consider the interference of his original destiny.
Cassandra didn't understand Pei Ziyun's plan. She hesitated when she heard Pei Ziyun's words. At this time, Paris left Troy and went to Mount Ida. Troy was in short supply and she couldn't leave when it needed people the most.
But at this time, King Priam saw her embarrassment and understood her concerns, and said: "My child, go ahead, Troy will be fine as long as I am with you. You must take good care of Paris when you go to Mount Ida."
King Priam's words shook Cassandra's heart.
"Priest, go to Mount Ida, that's where you should go." At this time, a voice came to Cassandra's ears.
"It's Apollo!" Cassandra heard that even the gods asked her to go to Mount Ida. It seemed that going to Mount Ida was the most correct choice. She thought about it and agreed.
"Father, after Paris and I went to Mount Ida, it was so difficult for you to be alone. You must protect yourself and your mother." Cassandra said.
"My child, you don't have to worry about me and your mother. I created Troy from the ruins. I can still cope with the current situation."
"Father, I'm leaving first." After Kassandra finished speaking, she turned and left the hall.
Several servants carried Pei Ziyun out of the hall and outside the palace. They loaded Pei Ziyun into the chariot, and Cassandra followed them into the chariot.
"Snapped."
The skilled driver flicked his whip, and the chariot started and headed towards Mount Ida. In the side hall at the back, Queen Hecuba turned around and sadly watched her children go away. After a long time, she said to her husband: " Have you made up your mind?"
Priam nodded: "We all know our destiny, don't we? Man can never compete with God's will."
The destruction of Troy was imminent, and the Fire Plan was carried out through Paris.
"Go and take the people into Mount Ida. If the Greeks don't retreat, don't come back." Priam said in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud for fear that the jealous gods would hear him.
greek camp
After the battle, the bodies of Achilles and Ajax were loaded into chariots and taken back to the camp.
When the chariot arrived at the camp, several people carried the corpses back to the warship. At this moment, they were all lying quietly on the wooden bed. Everyone gathered around the corpses of the two, thinking of the glory of the past, they couldn't help crying.
There is no doubt that these are two great heroes. They made great achievements in the Trojan War, but unfortunately they died on the battlefield at this moment.
"Two great heroes, how painful it is for me that you have left me." A Greek hero said with tears on his face.
"God, punish the despicable Trojans for us. Both heroes died under the cold arrows of the enemy."
"God, thank you for sending the bodies of the two heroes back safely."
In the warship, Agamemnon, Menelaus, Odysseus, Calchas and other Greek heroes and princes silently stared at the bodies of Ajax and Achilles.
Tears could not stop flowing from their eyes. Firstly, it was because of their misfortunes, and secondly, they felt the same way. Maybe one day they would be the ones lying here.
Someone brought water to help the two heroes wipe their bodies, put them in new clothes, and smeared them with the best balm.
After some care, all the blood on the faces and bodies of Achilles and Ajax disappeared, and they lay quietly as if they were asleep.
The cries of the people in the warship room were heard, affecting many Greek soldiers, and everyone wiped their tears.
Deep Sea Palace of Thetis
The cries of the Greeks mourning their heroes spread to the bottom of the sea and all the way to Thetis' palace.
Although Thetis had long known the fate of Achilles, when she heard the cries of the Greeks mourning Achilles, she still couldn't help crying.
"my child."
Her cries caused many sea beasts to cry out, and even the sea was constantly being stirred under the influence of her cries.
The waves rolling on the sea are one after another, and they are getting bigger and bigger.
The prophet Calchas vaguely heard Thetis's cry, and he knew that Achilles' mother, the goddess Thetis, was coming.
Achilles died on the battlefield, and his mother came to see Achilles.
He said to everyone in the room with a serious face: "The goddess is coming, we have to stay away and don't let the gods think we are rude."
Generally, mortals should avoid places where gods appear to show respect for the gods.
Everyone knew that Achilles' mother might come to visit her son, and they all obeyed Calchas's advice and withdrew silently.
Sure enough, at night, Thetis walked out of the palace in the deep sea. She separated from the huge waves and came to the coast where the Greek warships were unimpeded.
"Roar."
Behind Thetis, the sea monsters roared loudly. They felt the sadness of the goddess, and their roars also conveyed waves of whining.
Thetis stepped on the sea surface and came invisible. Everyone only heard the roar of the sea monster and could not see the figure of the goddess.
Thetis went to the room of the warship and saw Achilles' body from a distance.
She came to the body and saw that Achilles' body had been taken care of like new. She hugged her son, kissed her lips, and burst into tears.
"My child, how cruel fate is. Your future was decided a long time ago. Now you have finally reached this point. How sad I am."
As she said this, she could no longer hold back and cried loudly. In the camp, Achilles's two horses heard the goddess's cry and felt that their master was dead. They neighed, broke free from their yoke, and ran into the camp. The night is gone.
Now that Achilles is dead, they will no longer be driven by mortals.
But Thetis was indifferent. She was a god and naturally knew many secrets. This immortal horse that could speak was born from the god West Wind. The god gave it to the hero Peleus, and Peleus gave it to his son A. Achilles - Mortals only think it is glory, but they don't know that they are the closest thing to the gods monitoring Achilles.
Zeus's strategy is so far-sighted.
