Dawn, Dotted with Stars
A huge fleet was sailing on the dark sea. There were hundreds of warships in the fleet, stretching for tens of miles. A beach could be seen in front of them. After a long voyage, the Greek fleet had finally arrived at Troy.
At dawn, the first warship docked on the coastline of Troy. Immediately, an order was issued, "Advance team, go ashore and patrol the surroundings."
Following the order, a young man jumped off the ship, holding a spear and guarding. It was Iphiclos' son, Palotsilaos.
Behind him, the Greek warriors also jumped off to patrol.
"There's no one around." Following the report, the warships all approached. The Greek fleet had landed.
Agamemnon immediately ordered, "Let the fleet set up camp."
Following Agamemnon's orders, the people on the warships started to get busy. The soldiers took their cleaned shields and spears and lined up on the deck. Under the leadership of the commander, they disembarked one by one.
A few hundred soldiers disembarked from the warships. It was a majestic scene. All the soldiers were on duty on the beach, patrolling, guarding, or setting up camp. At a glance, there were tens of thousands of them.
Next, the chariots were pulled off the warships by the soldiers.
"Sacrifice to God."
"Let's cook. Everyone, eat your fill. Check your shields and spears. Feed the horses and prepare the chariots. Prepare them for battle."
The cooks started to cook in the newly built camp. Soon, smoke rose up.
Agamemnon ordered people to build a temporary altar on the empty ground. The altar was circular and had a statue of Zeus on it.
Agamemnon led a ram and placed it on the altar. After the priests finished their prayers, they took out a sharp knife and pierced it into the ram's neck. Blood sprayed out like a fountain and flowed onto the altar. The priests skillfully skinned the bull, removed its bones, and removed its innards before placing the lamb on the altar.
As soon as he placed it on the altar, the best piece disappeared. The priest's face lit up with joy. "Respected Commander Agamemnon, the Gods have accepted your sacrifice. I believe you will be victorious this time."
Agamemnon smiled. He was very satisfied with the results of the sacrifice. After he finished offering the sacrifice to Zeus, the cooks had finished preparing the food.
"Heroes and princes, eat with me. Only by eating and drinking will you have the strength to fight the next battle." Agamemnon said.
After the meal, the princes led the army into the wilderness, heading in the direction of Troy.
Troy Hall
Within the hot pool, Pei Zi Yun was taking a shower. The mist was so thick that he couldn't see his face clearly. He then spoke softly, "System."
A Plum Blossom appeared once more and expanded rapidly, turning into a transparent information interface with a faint sense of light.
"Mission: Lure Odysseus into killing Palamedes in advance (Incomplete)"
"Mission: Retaliate against the Greek emissary, fight for justice, and duel with Menelaus (Incomplete)"
Pei Zi Yun then looked at the system panel that displayed his attributes.
"Hero Bloodline: Level 3 (100.5%)"
"I gave two-thirds of the gold to everyone in the city, and I took responsibility for the duel with Menelaus. Finally, the last 2% of my reputation was enough."
"The Priest's senses can only sense existences that are two levels higher. I can sense that Menelaus is a Level Five Hero. A difference of two levels would be too great, but a difference of one level would make up for it. "
"That's why I dared to duel Menelaus."
With that thought in mind, he pressed down heavily.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion rang out. Pei Zi Yun trembled, and his heart raced. In a breath, his blood turned slightly golden, showing that his bloodline had been purified and evolved.
His bones also continued to grow stronger and more agile.
"Hero Bloodline: Level 4 (0.5%)"
"Special Skill: Agility of the Wind (65.5%)"
"Special Skill: Cast Iron Bronze (40.8%)"
"Very good, Menelaus. Let your failure and even your corpse make my name!" Pei Zi Yun stood up, and Onogne helped him put on his clothes and armor.
"My dear, don't be afraid. I will definitely win." Pei Zi Yun kissed her forehead and walked out. Almost at the same time, more than ten armed slaves followed him silently.
Troy Royal Palace
The palace was brightly lit, and a large number of warriors wearing leather armor and wielding long spears gathered. Troy was not careless.
"Your Majesty, the Greek fleet has landed on the coast. It won't be long before they reach the walls of Troy." A warrior half-knelt and reported the news.
Priamos nodded and said to the elders, "I didn't expect Agamemnon to move so quickly. Are our warriors ready for battle?"
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Our warriors are ready for battle. Besides, the walls of Troy were built by the gods. Agamemnon will not be able to break them." One of the elders said.
Priamos nodded and continued to ask, "Our allies have already set off, right?"
"The armies of the Kingdom of Frigia and the Kingdom of Percinia are already on their way. As for the other kingdoms, we haven't received any news yet."
"There's no rush. Come, let's go take a look at the walls." Priamos said as he stood up. More than ten warriors followed silently, but they didn't notice a faint red meteor falling from the sky and into the city.
Troy Helen's Palace
The faint red meteor fell and turned into a goddess. She was Iris. Iris was the Goddess of the Rainbow in Greek mythology. She was the daughter of Taurus and Electra, the sister of Halpiah, and the twin sister of Archer. She was the messenger of the gods.
She passed on the will of the gods to people, and was considered the messenger of the gods. The difference between her and Hermes was that Hermes was one of the main gods, and often changed the orders of the gods. Iris, on the other hand, was of a lower level, so she only passed on the orders of the gods.
But Iris was still a goddess. Her body shook, and she turned into the maid Etra, appearing in Helen's dream. It was a fog, and she moved closer.
"Helen, the Greeks have come, but the war has not started. Only your two husbands, Paris and Menelaus, have gone to battle. Whoever wins will be able to bring you back."
Iris said, and Helen woke up. If the goddess didn't tell her this news, she would still be in the dark.
Helen got up, put on her clothes, and just as she reached the door, Coselia came to greet her. She saw that Helen was going out, and she was not surprised. She just bowed and said, "Prince Paris is already there. He said that if you wake up and want to see, I will take you there."
Helen nodded and followed Coselia out of the palace. As soon as she reached the gate, she saw King Priamos and a few respected elders patrolling on the city wall.
Although the elders had seen Helen before, when they saw her coming, they were still fascinated by her beauty. They whispered to each other, "No wonder Prince Paris robbed the palace for this woman. She looks like an immortal goddess."
Priamos also saw her, and he warmly called out to Helen, saying, "Come, my lovely daughter, sit beside me. I want your first husband, Menelaus, to see your relatives and friends, to let them know that you are not responsible for this difficult war."
Helen nodded, and brought Coselia up the city wall.
Priamos looked at the troops outside the city, and pointed to one of the men, saying, "Now tell me, who is that majestic man?"
At this time, it was dawn, and the sun was already shining. Helen followed his finger, and immediately recognized the man walking in front. It was Agamemnon.
She said, "Respected father, that man is Agamemnon, the noble king of Mackensie, and also a brave warrior. He used to be my brother-in-law."
Priamos nodded. This was the first time he saw Agamemnon, and he realized that this commander of the Greek army was not simple.
He asked again, "The man beside him, is that your previous husband, Menelaus?"
"Yes!" Helen nodded.
Outside the city, Pei Zi Yun led a group of troops, and they headed towards the appointed place for the duel. Agamemnon also led a group, and the distance between the two groups got closer and closer. Finally, they met in the middle of the duel.
Agamemnon pointed to Pei Zi Yun, who was standing in the distance, and asked Palamos, "That man is Prince Paris of Troy?"
"Yes, Commander Agamemnon. This man used to be a shepherd on Mount Ida, and only after reuniting with Priamos did he return to Troy to become a prince." Palamos introduced.
"Since he's a shepherd, I don't think his martial arts skills are too strong, but I heard that he killed three monsters with his own hands."
"I specifically asked Elder Antenor of Troy about this, and he couldn't give a good explanation either. He said that it was the blessing of the gods." Palamos said.
"The blessing of the gods?" Agamemnon nodded, and didn't say anything more.
Pei Zi Yun squinted his eyes and looked at the Greek army, and saw a majestic man standing in the middle. Everyone else seemed to be looking at him, and he knew that this man was Agamemnon.
He used his priestly senses to feel him, and felt that Agamemnon's Hero Bloodline was higher than his.
At this time, both sides carried out their offerings. There were two sheep and a sheepskin bag of wine. Adding them together, there were four sheep and two sheepskin bags of wine.
King Priamos, who was standing on the city wall, stood up and led his guards down the city wall, and walked to the front.
Pei Zi Yun wore a white tunic with a golden belt, and a sword hung from his waist. He held a long spear in his hand as he walked out.
Menelaus drove a chariot out of the formation, and similarly held a long spear in his hand. He was fully armed, and walked to the temporary altar before jumping off the chariot.
Menelaus knelt on the ground, and raised his hands in the air. "Gods, please listen to me! Paris and I will listen to the God of Fate's arrangements, and have decided to duel again, to fight to the death. Let us offer our offerings and swear an oath, and begin this unavoidable duel! "
As he said this, Agamemnon and Odysseus walked over at the same time. The King of Troy, Priamos, had already rushed to the front of the formation, and stood in front of the altar with Pei Zi Yun.
Both sides placed their offerings on the altar, and used golden bowls to mix the wine.
Both sides prayed in front of the altar at the same time, hoping to receive the blessings of the gods, and win this duel.
After the sacrifice, Priamos said, "Greeks, I want to return to the city wall, because I cannot stand by and watch my son fight to the death with the Spartan King, Menelaus."
"Only the great Zeus will know who will win and who will lose."
As he finished speaking, Priamos boarded his chariot and drove it into the city. Pei Zi Yun's eyes flashed, and met Menelaus's gaze. At that moment, sparks flew.
