Pei Ziyun led everyone into the city of Troy. The city was filled with lingering flames and green smoke. The originally neat streets had been reduced to ashes, and bodies were charred by the fire. Looking at these tragic scenes, everyone shed tears.
After the massacre and raging fire, the city of Troy was left with only ruins. It no longer had the original excitement and splendor. As soon as I entered the city, a plum blossom quickly appeared in front of my eyes, and it quickly enlarged and transformed into a small square with a faint light. Feeling information box.
"Mission: Protect Andromache and Astyanax (Completed)"
"Mission: Defeat Hercules (Complete)"
"Mission: The last mission as a Trojan prince, bury the dead and let the city of Troy rest in peace (unfinished)"
Pei Ziyun looked at the task and focused on it. He completed it by protecting Andromache and Astyanax, and gained 1 destiny point. He also gained 3 destiny points by defeating Heracles. All the destiny points were originally consumed. Point, now there are 4 more.
"Bury the dead and let the city of Troy rest in peace. I have done this task. I cannot let the dead linger in front of the River Styx without rest."
In this world where real gods exist, the laws of the underworld are not optional. Only when a corpse is cremated and buried, covered with a layer of soil, can the gods of the underworld think that the person has been buried, and will it be accepted by the underworld. .
The team walked and stopped along the street. There were corpses everywhere along the way, and the road was blocked.
Some people saw their relatives in the corpses and burst into tears all of a sudden. The cries were heartbreaking. The people around them heard it and felt sad.
Everyone carried the corpses on the road and placed them on the side of the road, covered them with clothes, and walked forward slowly, finally arriving at the largest square in Troy.
Here, a group of soldiers stood neatly, numbering about a hundred people.
This was formed by the integration of soldiers and some slaves that Pei Ziyun brought to Mount Ida. They are now lining up waiting for Pei Ziyun's arrival.
In fact, these people have already arrived in the city and are cleaning up the corpses in the city, taking stock of the city and dealing with the aftermath.
But someone informed Prince Paris that he was here and came over to wait for Pei Ziyun to arrange the specific work. This would be more efficient, instead of the same thing as before, where things were very rough.
Pei Ziyun's right-hand men Keselia and Gesnie also followed the team down from Mount Ida. Pei Ziyun nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with the proactive attitude of these people.
"It's a pity that there are only a few people left in the entire city of Troy."
Pei Ziyun looked at the few Trojan warriors and slaves left in front of him and said: "The Trojans and the Greeks destroyed our home city of Troy. They slaughtered our families wantonly and robbed our wealth, as well as our women and children. "
"Although I saved a group of people, the scars of this war will remain on the Trojans forever. Now let us bury our relatives first so that they can go to Hades' domain without hindrance."
"Coselia, you immediately take people to count the women and children in the city. They must be frightened and have not used food. Bring them all to the palace and gather them together. Although the palace has been robbed, most of the loot is property. , most of the storage room is still intact, with food and water." Pei Ziyun looked at the sky, sighed and said.
Counting the number of women and children also provides a clear plan for the next work and direction.
"Yes, Prince." Coselia immediately responded. In this situation, Prince Paris is naturally the leader.
"Gesni, you and your soldiers are searching for the male survivors in the city. Even after the massacre, there must be some survivors in the city."
"The injured, like women and children, go to the palace to rest. You can count the rest, and then organize them to bury the bodies of our respectable citizens."
In the original script, after several massacres, the city of Troy was reduced to ruins, and the survivors worked with Antenor to bury the dead. Now that Pei Ziyun hurried faster, there were more.
"Yes, Prince Paris." Gesner bowed and said.
These male survivors are the remaining valuable assets of the city of Troy and will be the manpower to rebuild the city-state in the future.
Pei Ziyun arranged the aftermath one by one, and the tasks were in order without any omissions.
Everyone silently accepted the tasks at hand, and the soldiers in the square once again devoted themselves to the work arranged by Pei Ziyun.
Among these tasks, the most important thing is actually to collect the large number of corpses in Troy.
Pei Ziyun looked at the hundreds of people who had followed back. Although they were all women and children, these were human resources. They should not just sit idly by and contribute to the aftermath of Troy City's aftermath.
"As for you, along with the women and children of the city, gather towards the palace, and when you have had enough to eat and drink, go and help bury the dead."
Pei Ziyun ordered, and everyone had no doubts.
The team followed Pei Ziyun all the way into the palace. The palace still has thick walls, gates and pillars. The houses in the palace are relatively intact. Because the Greeks needed to search and plunder the palace's wealth, no fire was lit here.
When it came time to burn the Trojan palace to the ground, Pei Ziyun had already reached the Greek camp, leaving the Greeks no chance to go to Troy again.
There were corpses everywhere in the palace. Not long after approaching the palace gate, there was a young nobleman lying down. An arrow penetrated his eye, and the tip of the arrow was revealed from behind. He was still holding the spear root tightly, as if he wanted to scream for death. .
Farther away, a maid died there. She looked very pretty, but at this moment there was a bloody hole between her chest and abdomen. She opened her eyes as if she couldn't believe it.
Corpses lay scattered on the ground. Everyone walked for a while without seeing a single survivor. Their expressions were not very good, because many of these people were familiar people, but at this moment they turned into cold corpses.
As everyone turned around and walked through the corridor in the palace, a few surviving people suddenly came out from a hiding place.
Pei Ziyun had some impression of these people. He often met them when entering the palace before. They were the guards of the palace. When he saw the queen, prince and princess, his face was full of excitement and he couldn't help but shed tears.
"God, finally let me see you. We all thought we would never see you again." As they spoke, these noble young men choked up again.
As long as the royal family remains, this city-state and this country can be re-established.
"Don't be sad, everything will be fine. The Greeks have escaped." Although she knew that these people escaped and escaped death, Queen Helbe still comforted these people. When she saw familiar people, she sighed in her heart, these people They were all palace guards, sons of elders and citizens of the city, and she had often seen them when traveling with Priam.
When she saw them again, the queen was convinced of the restoration.
The queen wiped away her tears and said, "Paris, we will be able to rebuild the city. Now, you are the king of Troy."
She still refused to give up, because Troy was the hard work of her and her husband's life.
But rebuilding Troy was impossible.
"No, Troy can't be rebuilt, and I can't be the king of Troy." Pei Ziyun shook his head and glanced at everything around him, then added, "But we can build a city-state elsewhere."
Athena had clearly told herself that she was not allowed to rebuild the city of Troy on its original site, and Pei Ziyun also agreed and would not violate this rule.
Because this is also the bottom line of the gods of Mount Olympus, and it is impossible to violate it.
Cassandra was a prophet, so she naturally knew the meaning of Pei Ziyun's words. She said, "Mother, Paris is right, we must leave."
Everyone is devastated. If possible, who would be willing to leave their homeland
This place carries too many memories. Many people are unwilling to let them leave the current city of Troy and go to build a new city elsewhere, but this is not based on their will.
The group of people continued walking and arrived at the boulevard, where they saw several relatively complete palaces. Several hidden maids heard the sound, took a peek, hurriedly came out, and burst into tears.
Pei Ziyun stopped in front of a colonnade covered with grape vines. It was a suitable place because there was an ever-flowing fountain nearby, spouting water that was warm in winter and cool in summer.
"Go, take out the food and distribute it to everyone."
"There is a medicine storehouse not far away with magical medicine. Use it to treat injured people!"
"Also, see if there are any blankets in the warehouse. If there are any, take them out and cover them. Everyone deserves to be cherished now."
The guards and maids in the palace were all well-educated people, and they quickly obeyed orders.
"Go, let's go see our father." Pei Ziyun said sadly. The closer he got to God, the more magical powers he had - now, he could feel his father's body.
After hearing this, Helb, Cassandra, and Polyxena continued to go deeper into the palace. Soon, they arrived at the Temple of Zeus in the palace. The temple looked like it had been ransacked, and there were also people outside. There are some corpses lying here and there. These are the last warriors of the king and the people who guarded the temple. They were directly killed by the Greeks here. The door of the temple is missing and the walls are full of traces of battle.
After entering the temple, the first thing I saw was blood, scattered on the ground. Near the door was a female corpse with frowning eyebrows and wounds on her chest. She stretched out her hands, as if she was still blocking the intruder.
In front of the altar, a headless corpse was still sitting dead, with dripping blood everywhere. A human head was rolling not far away. There was no fear or anger in the head's brows, and his lips were slightly pursed, as if he was about to die. It was Priam who was still talking before he died.
Although Queen Helber was well prepared, when she saw this situation, she couldn't help but shed tears, and Cassandra and Polyxena also shed tears.
Pei Ziyun stepped forward, bowed to Priam's body to show respect, and said to the soldiers who followed him: "Tell the girl to sew the head and body together first, and then hold a funeral."
"No need to call the girls outside, we can do it." Cassandra said, Pei Ziyun was startled for a moment, stopped before saying, "That's okay..."
At this moment, a man hurriedly came in and reported: "Elder Antenor, please see the prince and queen."
After hearing this, Pei Ziyun's expression turned cold and he didn't speak for a while. After a long time, he said: "Let Antenor come in."
After a while, Antenor took his son into the temple of Zeus. As soon as he entered, he hugged Pei Ziyun's thigh and begged loudly, saying: "Prince Paris, please forgive me, I did not betray the city of Troy."
Antenor's behavior made Pei Ziyun even more disgusted, but he did not kick him away immediately. He just said coldly: "Antenor, the once respectable elder."
"I know that you did not betray the city of Troy, and that your son was still fighting for the city of Troy - if you had betrayed Troy, how could I have allowed you to live until now."
"But you showed your kindness to the Greeks many times and protected Menelaus and Odysseus. The Greeks destroyed the city of Troy. Not only did they not kill you and your family, but they also allowed you to keep all your property."
"You have to protect your family, but when you did all this, Troy was still safe, and you flirted with the enemy at that time. Such behavior is considered collaboration with the enemy."
