Troy
When the whole city was in flames and Diomedes beheaded King Priam in the temple of Zeus, the drunken Aeneas woke up from his sleep.
Aeneas had a terrible dream. He dreamed that Troy was destroyed. When he woke up, he heard the sound of killing outside.
When he got up and took a look, he saw that the entire city of Troy was on fire. Aeneas knew that something bad was going on. He was afraid that the Greeks were attacking the city, which confirmed the authenticity of his dream.
Aeneas did not dare to delay, so he quickly put on his clothes, rushed to his father's room, woke up his father Anchises, and said: "Father, the Greeks have invaded the city. You quickly get dressed, and I will take care of you." You leave."
Anchises got up quickly. Aeneas carried his old father Anchises on his back, held the hand of his son Ascanius, but abandoned his wife Creusa and fled in a hurry. .
The road was littered with corpses and burning houses, and Aeneas carefully avoided the Greeks.
At this moment, a divine light invisible to the naked eye enveloped Aeneas. This was Aeneas's mother Aphrodite who saw this and rushed away from Mount Olympus. Come over and follow closely to protect her son.
Without her help, it would be difficult for Aeneas to escape when the whole city was captured.
Along the way Aeneas fled, the flames gave way and the smoke gave way. Some Greeks saw the figure and shot with their bows and arrows, but the arrows they shot and the spears they threw missed their target and fell to the ground. After a while, it rushed out of sight and disappeared very quickly.
"If anyone wants to escape, intercept him immediately." Another group of Greek soldiers saw these strange things from a distance and hurried to the only way Aeneas could pass to intercept him.
Aeneas was about to leave the city with his elderly father Anchises on his back, but at the city gate, a large group of Greek soldiers suddenly appeared and rushed towards him with weapons in hand.
This made Aeneas, who originally thought he had escaped the crisis, feel cold. Now that he was carrying his father on his back and holding his son by the hand, how could he deal with these Greek soldiers.
But before the Greeks could rush to Aeneas, a thick fog fell around them, making everything around them unclear.
Aeneas took advantage of their confusion and hurriedly bypassed the Greek soldiers and escaped from the city gate.
When the thick fog dissipated, the Greek soldiers found that Aeneas was nowhere in front of them, and they all looked at each other.
The massacre made the blood mist thicker and heavier, but the gods watching the battle still saw it.
"Although I hope that the city of Troy will be destroyed, although Zeus hates the Priam family, maybe he is not willing to completely destroy this family. Through Ascanius (Note 1), this powerful family can be continued. Royal family.”
"But since Aeneas has escaped with Aeneas, Paris and the other Trojan princes can die." Hera said coldly, she vented her anger on Priam. Si family.
Aeneas became the only person in Troy who escaped from the city with his children. No one else survived and was either killed or captured.
The entire city of Troy was under the raging fire, and the cries, howls, and roars of despair were intertwined, making people moved when they heard it.
"puff."
Menelaus pierced the chest of a Trojan with a spear, quickly pulled out the spear, and brought out a stream of bloody arrows. The Trojan swayed and fell.
"Where is Helen?" Other heroes were killing or robbing. Although King Menelaus of Sparta was also killing people, his purpose was not the blood of his enemies or women. He was holding a bloody weapon. , searching for traces of Helen in the city of Troy. He had already been to the mansion where Paris was located, but did not find any clues, which made him very angry.
Just when Menelaus was furious, he saw Deiphobus. During the last duel with Pei Ziyun, he met this Trojan prince, and it was Deiphobus who shot a cold arrow at him.
There was something in his heart, it happened that he was looking for Helen, and Deiphobus, as the prince of Troy, should know the truth.
Menelaus felt excited, held his weapon and charged towards Deiphobus in the distance, and soon rushed in front of Deiphobus.
Today is the day when the Trojans celebrate their victory over the Greeks. Iphobus was drunk. Although he was awakened by the sound of killings and screams and took up arms, he was still drunk and staggered. As soon as he came out, he was killed by Menela. Russia hit the spot.
Without saying a word, Menelaus stabbed Deiphobus in the chest with his spear.
After all, Deiphobus was also a hero. The extreme danger made him sober up. He quickly raised his sword to block it, but was instantly shocked by Menelaus's spear and was thrown away. If it hadn't been for Mo Neelaus still wanted to ask questions, so he killed him immediately.
Even so, the spear shaft still hit hard.
"Bang." Deiphobus' body fell to the ground. At this time, he was completely frightened and finally understood what situation he was facing.
Menelaus put his spear against Deiphobus' neck and said, "Where is Helen?"
Deiphobus had a spear pressed against his neck, and his voice trembled slightly as he said, "Menelaus, Helen was taken to Mount Ida by Paris. Please spare me."
"Go to hell!" Menelaus roared, with a voice as loud as thunder: "I will kill Paris with my own hands! No sinner can escape from the hands of Themis, the goddess of justice!"
After saying this, Menelaus thrust the spear in his hand hard and penetrated Deiphobus' neck. Blood gushed out from his neck like spring water.
Deiphobus' face instantly turned pale as paper, his body trembled a few times, and he immediately lay on the ground motionless.
Menelaus killed Deiphobus without stopping at all. He once again carried his spear and slaughtered all the Trojans he met along the way. He brutally killed all the Trojans he met on the way.
He vented his anger and killed more than a dozen Trojans on the road before he found Agamemnon and said, "Brother, I just learned from Prince Deiphobus of Troy that Paris and Helen Fleeed to Mount Ida.”
Agamemnon listened to Menelaus' story and knew that he was eager for revenge. He said: "My brother, the resistance in the city has basically ceased. We have won, but Paris has broken the rules of guest and host, including pigs and dogs." No matter what, he must die."
"Don't worry, I will find powerful heroes and let them go to Mount Ida with you to capture the culprit Paris."
Menelaus listened to Agamemnon's words and felt excited, knowing that with the support of his brother Agamemnon, it would not be too difficult to kill Paris, and soon he would be able to realize his long-awaited wish.
"Paris, the humiliation and ridicule I have suffered for so many years will definitely make you taste this too." Menelaus thought.
The massacre in the city of Troy continued. The raging fire made the entire Troy sky red, and the entire city was enveloped in blood and fire.
The Greeks vented their grievances for so many years to their heart's content. Almost all the men in Troy were brutally killed in this massacre, while half of the women and children were killed or consumed, and only half were kept as prisoners. stand up.

The gods gathered together in the palace hall on the top of Mount Olympus. They talked to each other and discussed the situation in front of Troy.
The red mist in the middle was completely shrouded by dark clouds for the first time, and the scene of Troy could no longer be seen clearly. This was because the thick smoke emitted by the raging fire shrouded the entire sky of Troy.
At this time, the gods Apollo, Artemis, Ares and others who supported Troy did not look good, especially the massacre of the city by the Greeks, which made them even more angry.
It was a good thing for them that they couldn't see clearly the pictures of Troy at the moment, as they could save themselves from watching some pictures that made them extremely angry.
Hera, the mortal enemy of the Trojans, and Thetis, the mother of Achilles, cheered with satisfaction. They finally got their wish and saw the Greeks defeat the Trojans.
"Although the entire Troy has been destroyed, the hateful Paris is still alive. He cannot be allowed to escape his fate so easily." Hera reiterated again.
"I will make arrangements now." Athena secretly lamented Hera's jealousy and revenge. As she said this, she looked down in the sky. Through the thick smoke, she saw the Greeks slaughtering the Trojans. In such a tragic situation, one by one the Trojans died at the hands of the Greeks, she couldn't help but close her eyes.
She could not bear to witness the final massacre of this war, but in order to complete the task assigned to her by Hera, she still walked out of Mount Olympus and slowly descended into the city of Troy.
There is also a very spectacular temple of Athena in the city, which was not burned by the fire. Athena descended directly into her temple in Troy.
But what she never expected was that when she arrived at the temple, she saw something that made her very angry.
Young Ajax broke into her temple, plundered its treasures, and even captured her priests, reducing them to slaves.
This was undoubtedly provocative and offensive to her.
If this was normal, she would definitely punish this Greek who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth, but that didn't work this time. She still had a task for little Ajax.
Although Athena was furious in her heart, she still held back her anger. With a sullen face, she thought: "Although Paris must die because of Hera, she didn't let Paris also kill little Ajax before he died. ?”
Little Ajax didn't know what the goddess was thinking. He heard the order from the herald sent by the commander Agamemnon, and only listened to the words: "Little Ajax, the city of Troy is destroyed, but the culprit is Pa Reese is still alive and escaping on Mount Ida, we cannot let him escape his fate so easily."
"Stop robbing. The commander will compensate you with double wealth and women. Now, go and kill Paris."
"Given Paris's prowess, there will be multiple heroes with you."
Little Ajax was already furious, but the goddess Athena made him agree: "Okay, since it is the order of the great commander Agamemnon, I will go now."
"I want to kill that despicable guy too."
Joined forces with Menelaus, Sterneros, Odysseus, Nestor and other five heroes, and within a short while, they gathered in an open space, and many Greek soldiers also gathered here at the same time. .
"Let us set out together to eliminate Paris, the culprit of this war, and let him understand that the justice of the goddess of justice will never be absent in the world." Odysseus said loudly.
Note 1: Ascanius is the grandson of Priam, and can be regarded as continuing the bloodline of this family. After Rome became powerful, the Greeks promoted that the Roman Empire was a descendant of this family, but this was not necessarily the Roman view.
