"Get aboard!"
While Pei Ziyun was talking to Ms. Phantom, everyone got on the ship one after another. Everything was ready. After the "Sail" command was given, the fleet slowly sailed away from the coast of Troy and headed towards the depths of the sea.
There was not much wind and waves on the sea, and the sea water slapped against the bottom of the ship. Pei Ziyun stood on the deck and looked at the sea. The dark blue water and the blue sky complemented each other until the end of the horizon.
There were many seagulls flying near the fleet and passing over it from time to time.
The fleet sailed on the sea for a long time. Just when Pei Ziyun was a little tired of the unchanging sea, a black spot suddenly appeared on the horizon. As the ship approached, the black spot gradually grew larger. When the ship got a little closer, it was discovered that it was a A fleet.
Pei Ziyun immediately ordered the fleet to catch up. When he took a closer look, he found that the people on the fleet were familiar. If these people were not mistaken, they should be Aeneas's people. In other words, this fleet was Aeneas's fleet.
On the vast sea, the fleets of Pei Ziyun and Aeneas met. This was not an easy thing. The people on both sides of the ship gave out huge cheers and shouts.
"Troy, Troy."
"Parris, I know there is a small island nearby. How about we dock there temporarily?" Kassandra, a prophet, immediately suggested.
"Okay." Pei Ziyun nodded in agreement.
The commander sent a signal to the other side's ship, and within a moment, the ships on both sides sailed towards the nearby island.
After a period of sailing, the two fleets found a nearby island and slowly docked all the ships, and all the people on board got off.
"I never thought we could meet again." As soon as they got off the boat, Aeneas came over to see the queen and princess, and hugged Pei Ziyun.
"It's indeed a surprise." Pei Ziyun said. Aeneas's fleet left very early, and he didn't want to encounter it now. This made him have to doubt whether it was fate or the arrangement of the gods.
"Let the people below go hunting on the island, and we will hold a bonfire banquet."
"That's a good idea." Aeneas agreed immediately.
At first, the two fleets were a little embarrassed, but soon the soldiers took up arms and went ashore to hunt and cut wood, while the women and children were busy collecting firewood and setting up stoves for cooking.
Some people even went to the sea to fish and prepared whatever food they could.
After such a long time, many people gradually no longer felt as sad as before, and everyone chatted with each other and looked forward to the future.
Soon, more than 20 huge stoves emitted a rich aroma, and everyone swallowed.
After everyone came back, all the food was distributed, and everyone drank and ate to their heart's content. This was the first warm meal after the disaster in Troy.
And in the best spots, the fire is crackling on the campfire, and the meat cooking in the hanging pot on the shelf exudes a mouth-watering aroma.
Pei Ziyun looked at the night, listened to the wind, and ordered: "Bring some wine from the boat."
Then he sighed and said, "I brought this from the wine cellar of the Troy Palace. You will definitely taste the familiar taste."
Several soldiers immediately brought all kinds of food and wine.
Aeneas drank fine wine, ate barbecue, and all kinds of delicacies, his mouth was full of oil and he was satisfied.
He hadn't eaten delicious food for several days. The destruction of the city of Troy had a great impact on him. The food that he usually didn't look down on was now much better than the food in the palace before.
However, Aeneas actually had something on his mind. He seemed to be eating rudely, but in fact he was secretly sizing up Pei Ziyun sitting in front of him. He sighed in his heart that he only escaped successfully under the protection of the goddess mother, and Paris Then he turned the tide and defeated the arrogant Greeks by himself.
Aeneas took a few bites, and Gulu drank the wine and said: "Dear prince, future King of Troy, I have heard the news about you. You defeated the Greeks and won the victory."
"I wonder what your plans are for the future?"
When Aeneas asked this question, he felt uneasy. He didn't have many troops at hand. The most important thing was that many of them were Trojans, and Paris was the legitimate prince of Troy, and he was more powerful. If Paris On a whim, his people were directly annexed, and he was completely unable to resist.
Of course, if this is the result, he can accept it, after all, he has only been away for a few days.
Pei Ziyun could see Aeneas' inner uneasiness and probably guessed some of his thoughts, but he had no such intention.
He is a person who wants to become a god. He has never heard that gods personally rule the country, and this world is destined not to last long, so Aeneas's idea is not tempting to him.
Pei Ziyun said: "Although I defeated the Greeks, Troy was also destroyed. I am no longer the prince of Troy. You are my brother-in-law. Please call me Paris."
"However, I believe that you and I can build a new city-state. I hope that you and I can sign a long-term alliance to deal with our enemies together, at least not to kill each other."
Aeneas was a little disappointed. In fact, although the cause of the Trojan War was Paris, everyone knew that it was God's will, and during the war, Paris' performance was very admirable. He still hopes that Pei Ziyun can become The king of Troy, at least his wisdom and strength are there, which can make many people dare not act rashly.
But at the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief. He no longer had to worry that Pei Ziyun would annex his team, and said, "Of course, we will build a great city-state, and we will be long-term allies in the future."
"Come here, bring a pen and parchment," Aeneas wrote.
Immediately, a servant went out and brought parchment. Pei Ziyun and Aeneas wrote two copies of the agreement on the two pieces of parchment, each party holding one copy of the agreement.
The signing of these two alliance documents means that they established a city-state. As long as it is not destroyed, they will abide by the contents of this document and maintain an alliance from generation to generation.
After the two people signed the alliance, they drank some fine wine, ate some delicious food, and chatted about establishing a city-state.
"Paris, will you rebuild Troy or build a city-state somewhere else in the future?" Aeneas asked.
"We will not rebuild Troy anymore. We will find a new place, build a new city-state, and start our new life." Pei Ziyun said.
"I will also build my city-state in a very beautiful place and regain my strength. I will definitely launch revenge on the Greeks." Aeneas said firmly.
Pei Ziyun smiled. In fact, there are different opinions about the predecessor of the Roman Empire. According to the so-called theory that the descendants of Aeneas established the Roman Empire, Greece was destroyed by the descendants of Aeneas. Perhaps it was this determination to destroy Greece that made his Later generations built a great empire.
There is a real God in the world now, and maybe it will develop in this way.
"I heard that you are already more powerful than Achilles. Will you join the ranks of immortals like Hercules?" Aeneas finally couldn't help but ask.
"It's not that simple. When Hercules became a god, he directly abandoned his physical body, and over the years, only Hercules has succeeded." Pei Ziyun said, not wanting to talk about this, and quickly changed the subject. Said: "Have you chosen the address where you will establish your city-state?"
"I already have a preliminary idea. When I build the city-state, you must come." Aeneas said with a smile.
"I will come." Pei Ziyun said with a smile.
The two continued to discuss the matter for a while, then stood up and left.
Pei Ziyun walked out slowly. Others had eaten and drank enough. Some servants were already packing up their belongings, taking them back to the ship if they were useful, and burning the useless ones.
It was getting late at night. After everyone finished their work, they returned to their respective warships to rest.
Pei Ziyun walked slowly back to the warship and arrived at the conference room on the ship. The conference room was already full of people. When everyone present saw Pei Ziyun walking in, they all looked over.
Pei Ziyun nodded slightly towards the people present, took out the agreement he had just signed, and passed it on for everyone to see.
Everyone read it very carefully, and it took a long time to finish reading the alliance letter.
"Paris, why didn't you merge with Aeneas's fleet?" Queen Herb frowned and said after reading the alliance letter: "You have every chance."
In the eyes of Queen Herbe, Paris is the legitimate heir of Troy. He needs strength, status, and people. Everything is legal, and he can completely annex Aeneas's team. After all, Aeneas is the son-in-law.
But Paris did not choose this path, which made the queen feel anxious. She must know that merging Aeneas's fleet would make the remaining troops of Troy much stronger.
Moreover, the queen has a hint of selfishness. She hopes that Pei Ziyun can become the king of Troy.
Facing the queen's question, Pei Ziyun didn't want to explain too much and just said: "This is fate."
When the queen heard Pei Ziyun say this, she had to keep silent. Destiny is the most unpredictable. No one can guess it except the gods.
"Paris, what are your plans next?" Cassandra asked.
"I've already chosen my destination."
Pei Ziyun said, laying out a chart made of parchment. On the chart, a red line ran along the coast, first to the west, then to the north: "Let's go here."
Pei Ziyun pointed to the red line on the map and led it all the way up.
Everyone's eyes followed the gaze and saw the destination of this trip.
"This is a distant island. Should we go there to establish a city-state?" Helber asked.
"Yes, on that island we will gain land, and there we will reestablish the kingship."
"But which island is suitable for us to build a city-state? Is it too small that we don't have much development potential?" Helber asked again.
"Don't worry about this. This island looks small, but it's actually very big. It has a lot of room for development. By then we will build a city-state and may even surpass Troy." Pei Ziyun said with confidence.
Everyone was infected by Pei Ziyun's tone, and suddenly they were full of hope for the future. They couldn't help but feel excited when they thought that a kingdom beyond Troy was born on this island.
