"Kill."
The commanders of both sides gave the order to attack. The two armies collided with each other. Pei Zi Yun took the lead and killed a few Greek soldiers, getting close to Periphas.
"Periphas, I'll send you to Hades' territory later," Pei Zi Yun said coldly. Pei Zi Yun said coldly. Periphas was the leader of this Greek army. As long as he killed him, this army would collapse on its own, and he would be able to harvest the power of the bloodline.
"What a ridiculous statement, Paris. I know you've always been brave, but today I'll let you see how brave and skillful the bravest Aetolian, Periphas, is in battle."
As soon as he finished speaking, Periphas' spear stabbed forward. With a flash of cold light, it was close to Pei Zi Yun's chest.
"Killing skills."
Pei Zi Yun looked at Periphas' spear and was a little surprised. Periphas wasn't boasting. The speed of his attack was indeed worthy of the title of Aetolia's bravest warrior.
At the moment when the spear stabbed over, Pei Zi Yun held the spear in his hand and blocked it. With a "pu" sound, a hidden force attacked.
Periphas' hand was slightly numb. The spear in his hand drew a half arc and stabbed at a different angle. Its speed was as fast as lightning.
"Not yet. The hidden force can shatter the hearts of ordinary people, but on the heroes of this world, it can only slightly numb them."
"The so-called hidden force in the legends, or even the Introspective Invulnerability, is useless in this world."
"How should I put it? It's like a sword made of wood or bamboo. No matter how attentive and skillful you are, when you meet a weapon made of iron, it will be cut in half."
"The God's blood in the hero's body can even instinctively cancel out this kind of thing, spread it, and turn it into something harmless."
Although it wasn't the first time, Pei Zi Yun still sighed. He dodged the spear and at the same time, stabbed the spear in his hand at Periphas.
Periphas hurriedly pulled back his spear and blocked it in front of his chest.
Pei Zi Yun didn't expect that Periphas was not only fast in attacking, but also simple and effective in martial arts. It almost had a sense of returning to the basics. If he didn't meet him, only Hector would be a match for the other Trojan princes.
"Nimble Wind." Pei Zi Yun shouted in his heart. Without waiting for Periphas to take a breath, the tip of the spear flashed and stabbed at an angle.
Clang! Pryfus resisted Pei Zi Yun's attack, but there was a flash of panic in his eyes. He really couldn't believe that Prince Paris, who had been evenly matched with him just a moment ago, would suddenly attack so much faster.
Pei Zi Yun didn't give him much time to think. Seeing that he had blocked his first attack, his footsteps were light, and he suddenly flashed to the side of Pryphas. The long spear in his hand stabbed towards Pryphas like a green lightning from an extremely tricky angle.
This time, Peliphas could no longer resist the tricky angle. He tried his best to move his body sideways to avoid the spear from piercing his vitals.
"Puff." His left arm was stabbed, and blood spurted out from his shoulder like a fountain.
"Ah." A mournful howl came from Peliphas' mouth. The Greek soldiers on the battlefield saw that Peliphas was injured and was in a life and death crisis. A few of them rushed towards Pei Zi Yun, hoping to help Peliphas out of this predicament.
However, since Pei Zi Yun had already attacked, he did not hold back. How could he give his opponent a chance to break out of the encirclement? The moment he pulled out his spear, he stabbed it forward with extreme speed.
"Puff." A cold light flashed, and the spear pierced into Peliphas' neck. Then, it turned and left a big hole in his neck.
Time froze at this moment, and Peliphas' body fell straight back.
"Bang." The corpse fell to the ground, splashing mud and dust, and blood stained the surrounding ground red.
Pei Zi Yun exhaled heavily. This was the first time he had used the special skill he had obtained. The effect was not bad, and he smoothly killed the Aetolian warrior. The moment he killed Peliphas, the system slightly moved, and the bloodline power that was still alive in his body was plundered.
Before he could take a closer look, he rushed into the middle of the Greek soldiers with his spear. A Greek soldier saw Pei Zi Yun pouncing towards him and waved his spear to resist. With a "puff" sound, his short cover was pierced, and the bloody tip of the spear came out from his back.
The soldier screamed and retreated, but as the tip of the spear withdrew, he spat out a lot of blood.
After killing more than ten people, the bronze tip of the spear was broken. When he looked over, he saw that the Greeks were already in a mess. In fact, after Pei Zi Yun killed Peliphas, the entire Greek army was already on the verge of collapse. At this moment, they had no desire to fight anymore. They threw down their weapons, knelt on the ground, and surrendered.
Once a soldier threw down his weapon, it would form a domino effect. The other soldiers learned to surrender one after another, and in an instant, they all knelt on the ground.
"Take off their armor and take away their weapons." Seeing that the Greeks had suffered heavy casualties and were kneeling on the ground, Pei Zi Yun threw away the broken spear and ordered the Trojan soldiers.
This was how this era was. Therefore, Bronze Smiths were very important. After the battle, it was time for the bronze to be melted down.
"Also, I saw a Greek ship at the port. Immediately send someone to take it over." Since they had won, the many Greek ships that were docked at the port also belonged to Pei Zi Yun.
After issuing the second order, Pei Zi Yun looked at the Greek soldiers who were kneeling on the ground. "Since you have already surrendered, you only need to listen to my orders. You don't have to worry about me killing you."
"Now, clean up Peliphas' body, change him into clean clothes, and build a holy altar. Fill the open space with firewood. I will cremate him and bury him."
"Clean up the bodies of the other Greek soldiers as well. Bury them together. The weather is getting hot, don't cause a plague."
This order was very normal. After the Greeks who had become captives heard Pei Zi Yun's words, they all began to work silently. Some collected the bodies, some picked up firewood, and with tears in their eyes, they cleaned the blood stains on the bodies of the dead. They silently carried the bodies onto the carriages and sent them to the tall firewood.
There were also people who were responsible for cleaning Peliphas' body and building a simple holy altar.
These tasks were carried out in an orderly manner. In a short while, Peliphas' body was cleaned and changed into clean clothes.
A small circular holy altar was also built on the open space. The firewood was already full, forming piles of firewood. In the middle of one of the piles was a wooden bed.
Peliphas' body was placed on the wooden bed. At this time, the Queen of the Kingdom of Corona rushed over with the young prince and the elders.
"Prince Paris, thank you for your timely rescue. Otherwise, the Kingdom of Corona would have been broken through by the Greeks," the Queen of Corona said with tears of joy.
"Your Majesty, this is what we should do. The great King Kronos helped Troy and even sacrificed his life. We only did some insignificant things," Pei Zi Yun said.
Both sides greeted each other and silently watched the priest's ceremony.
The priest cleaned the sacrifices and Peliphas' body. He lit the firewood with a torch, and the fire burned fiercely. In a short while, only a pile of ashes was left on the spot.
The ashes were packed in a porcelain jar and buried under a tree on the battlefield.
As for the rest of the ordinary soldiers, they naturally did not need to be specially sacrificed. The young prince of the Kingdom of Corona silently watched these ceremonies and asked, "Why is such a person still buried? He should be hung up in public."
Pei Zi Yun looked at the young prince and said, "It is necessary to give respect to the dead, especially the mortal descendants of the gods."
The Prince of Corona was still young and did not understand these things. He did not know why he should respect the dead. Pei Zi Yun patiently explained to him.
"Even Philoctetes, I gave him a grand burial."
The prince did not know who Philoctetes was, nor did he know that this person killed his father, but he knew that this person must be an enemy of the Kingdom of Corona.
Pei Zi Yun touched the young prince's head and thought of the brave Kronos again. Unfortunately, the brave hero only left behind this orphan and widowed mother.
"You have to remember that the gods of this world have decreed that the person must either be cremated or buried. At least, it must be covered with a thin layer of soil so that the gods of the underworld will think that this person has been buried."
"There was a king who not only killed the enemy, but also ordered people to guard the body and not to bury it. In the end, he offended the gods and caused the entire royal family to perish."
"You have to remember, when you grow up, you can kill the enemy, but do not insult the dead."
King Creon of Thebes was a typical example. He held a grand funeral for Eteocles, who died for the kingdom, but did not bury the body of Polynices, who betrayed the kingdom. He also sent people to announce that the citizens were not allowed to mourn the death of the enemy who betrayed the kingdom, nor were they allowed to bury his body. Crows and beasts were allowed to peck at his body. As a result, the poor king's entire family was wiped out.
It could only be said that in the eyes of the Greek gods, killing each other was inevitable, but the respect for the dead was closer to the respect for the gods and souls.
The prince did not understand. Beside him, Queen Kronos had tears in her eyes. How good would it be if these words were said by her husband, Kronos, to her son?
She wiped her tears and forced a smile at Pei Zi Yun. "Prince Paris, the banquet to entertain you has been prepared."
Pei Zi Yun nodded. There was no need for him to participate in this matter. The rest of the ordinary Greeks did not need the prince to be present for the burial. After tidying up, he followed Queen Kronos back to Metora City.
At this moment, someone suddenly rushed over and reported, "Queen, there was a monster attack nearby. A few people have been killed."
The queen was startled, and her face turned pale. She felt that bad luck was circling around her. Pei Zi Yun hurriedly said, "Quick, bring us to have a look."
The crowd followed the soldiers for a distance and saw a monster wreaking havoc.
Pei Zi Yun looked over and saw a huge rhinoceros with red eyes. With one charge, a few Greeks who went to dig a pit immediately fell dead. Then, this rhinoceros started gnawing on the fresh corpses.
Is it attracted by the smell of blood? Pei Zi Yun thought to himself.
This was a battlefield, and a huge battle had just occurred. The thick stench of blood permeated the air around the battlefield. Only the smell of blood could attract such a ferocious beast. Pei Zi Yun could not think of anything else that could attract it.
