Hector could no longer hold on and fell with a thud. But the strong life force of a hero made Hector beg, "Achilles, I'm begging you on your life. No matter how much gold and silver you want, just send my body back to Troy and let the Trojans bury me according to the funeral rites."
Achilles' expression was cold. He shook his head and replied coldly, "You are the murderer of my friend Patroclus. Even if Priam is willing to pay a ransom equal to your weight in gold, I will not agree. I will feed your body to the dogs."
Achilles thought that Hector killing his friend Patroclus was unforgivable. Patroclus had not been buried until now because he wanted to use Hector as a sacrifice to Patroclus.
More importantly, Achilles' heart was filled with anger.
Don't I know that fate has revealed its ferocious face? For Patroclus, I had to step on this path. What else do I have to lose? Achilles thought to himself. He could not vent his anger on God, so he naturally vented it on Hector.
"I knew it." Hector spat out blood as he spoke. He was almost at the end of his rope. The only reason he could still speak was because of the unwillingness in his heart.
"I know that you have a heart of stone and will not pity me."
"But you are going against the law of God. When God takes revenge for me, when you are shot at the central gate of Troy and are about to die, you will remember my words."
After Hector said this last prophecy, his soul left his body and flew into the underworld in the blink of an eye.
But Achilles shouted, "Just die! No matter how Zeus and God arrange my fate, I will accept it! "
"Now, feed the dogs!" Achilles hated Hector to the core and did not care about anything he said. He swore to drag the body back as a sacrifice to his friend.
After saying that, Achilles personally peeled off the bloody armor that originally belonged to him from Hector's corpse.
"Hector is dead, Hector is dead!"
Achilles killing Hector was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Trojans on the battlefield. Hector had always been the protector of Troy. As long as he was on the battlefield, no one would panic.
But at this moment, Hector was killed by Achilles. The morale of the Trojans instantly hit rock bottom, while the morale of the Greeks was high. This directly caused the Trojans to be unable to resist the Greeks. They were defeated one after another and fled towards Troy.
When Pei Zi Yun saw this, he shouted, "System!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the system shuddered. A Plum Blossom appeared in front of him. It quickly enlarged and turned into a transparent information interface with a faint sense of light.
[Quest: Your political skills have allowed you to control fate. Use 1 Auspicious Omen to force the Gods to temporarily stand by your side and protect your safety.]
Without any hesitation, Pei Zi Yun pressed the button.
"I have 24 Fate Points. I'm only 1 Fate Point away from giving the Oracle, but I'm willing to spend 1 for Hector."
As soon as he pressed the button, Achilles suddenly changed. He killed Hector and stood up. All of a sudden, a huge rainbow descended from the sky, landing on Achilles.
Achilles bathed in the rainbow, reflecting the golden light. The Greeks, who had just won, were stunned. They did not have the mood to chase after Achilles. Instead, they swarmed around Achilles like a tidal wave to watch. They all looked at the god-like Achilles and Hector, who was lying on the ground, with complicated expressions. After all, Hector was the first general of Troy. He was invincible on the battlefield and had left a deep impression on the Greeks.
Achilles looked at the Greeks who had gathered and shouted, "Friends, heroes, thank the Gods for allowing me to kill this man. We want to see, without Hector, how long can Troy resist?"
Achilles' words, according to normal history, were indeed true. Not long after Hector's death, Troy's city was conquered by the Greeks.
"However, my friend Patroclus is still lying on the ship and has not been buried. Let us sing a song of victory and bring this enemy of mine back to pay tribute to my friend!"
As Achilles spoke, he did not even bother to leave the dead body on the chariot. He picked up a knife and poked a hole in the ankle and heel of Hector's body. He then used a belt to thread it through the hole and tied it to the chariot.
This was extremely disrespectful to the dead. The surrounding Greeks wanted to say something, but in the end, they did not say anything.
Now that Achilles had killed Hector, his reputation was at its peak. He was still brooding over the fact that Hector had killed Patroclus. At this point, if someone tried to persuade him to respect the dead, he would probably reject them harshly.
Achilles jumped onto the chariot and with a flick of his whip, the horse started galloping. The chariot dragged Hector's body and sped towards the direction of the warship.
Mount Olympus
The chariot dragged Hector's body. Soon, the heroic Hector was covered in mud, and his flesh was torn by sharp stones and wooden thorns, staining his body red.
Zeus gloomily watched everything that Achilles had done. Apollo's face was even more gloomy. Even the Greek gods looked at Achilles and shook their heads, as if they had already sentenced him to death in their hearts.
It was the destiny of heroes to kill each other, but few dared to insult the dead. That year, King Creon of Thebes arranged for the funerals of his two nephews. Eteocles, who had died for his country, was given a grand funeral. The citizens sent the hearse to the cemetery, but the traitor Polynices, who was his nephew, had his body exposed outside the city and was not given a proper burial.
Because of this incident, King Creon was destroyed.
Because of Hades, and because of the will of the gods, and because Hector was a descendant of Zeus!
"O great Zeus, the king of the gods, fate is changing rapidly. Achilles has desecrated the corpse, and he will immediately be punished by fate."
Looking at this unexpected rainbow, even Hera's expression changed. She no longer spoke for her beloved son Achilles, but for Zeus.
Hearing this, Zeus' expression improved a little. "Since you also think so, then so be it."
Saying this, his face darkened, and he ordered in a low voice, "Quick, go and ask the goddess of fate what happened."
City of Troy
The battle outside the city could be seen clearly from the top of the city walls. The people of Troy stood on top of the city walls to watch the battle.
At first, the two sides were evenly matched, but since Achilles wantonly slaughtered the heroes and soldiers of Troy, the faces of the Trojans became ugly.
When Hector's mother, Hector, saw Hector's misfortune from the top of the city walls, she tore off her veil in grief and wailed.
"My child, the enemy is so cruel. Not only did he kill you, he also disgraced your corpse, sob sob …"
Hector's sorrow infected Priam. Originally, when he saw Hector killed by Achilles, although he was heartbroken, as a king, he still forced himself to be calm. At this moment, he was infected and also wept bitterly.
"My child Hector, fate has treated you so unfairly. After death, your corpse still has to be disgraced like this. Don't worry, I will definitely redeem your corpse."
King Priam and Queen Hector's weeping infected a group of people. Many elders could not help but wipe their tears. Hector's reputation and reputation in Troy were good, and his death was undoubtedly a great blow to the people of Troy.
But when the Trojans saw Achilles abuse Hector's corpse, there was a mournful wail from the top of the city walls. The news of Hector's death and his corpse being abused spread throughout Troy in an instant. Everyone was filled with righteous indignation towards Achilles. Cries came from the whole city. Everyone felt sad and sad for Hector's unfortunate encounter.
"Hector was such a kind person, to actually suffer such abuse from the enemy." This was said by a woman in the city as she covered her face and wept.
"God, please have mercy on Hector. Don't let him suffer such misfortune. Let his soul rest in peace." An old man of Troy prayed.
"Don't worry, God will definitely punish the sins of the Greeks." A middle-aged man said.
The news of Hector being killed by Achilles and his corpse being disgraced quickly spread back to the mansion. When Androma heard this news, he instantly fainted and his body fell straight down. Fortunately, a maid reacted quickly and caught his body.
Pei Zi Yun was retreating. Although he had expected this, he could not help but stop when he saw all this. He touched the hilt of his sword.
Pei Zi Yun was also very angry about Achilles's corpse being disgraced. If he could, he would rush up and kill Achilles right now.
At this point, the shadow suddenly moved and spoke, "Paris, you are very wise not to go. Achilles' fate has already reached its peak. If you go, you will also be killed."
"However, Achilles killed Hector and used up half of his fate. Do you know what would have happened to Troy if the gods did not attack them?"
The mysterious shadow spoke to Pei Zi Yun when the gods were not paying attention.
"Greece is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The rivers are short and rapid, and the coast is full of twists and turns. It is a good location for sailing and trading. However, there are many mountains within their territory. Three-quarters of the land is mountainous. Their agriculture is naturally deficient, and it is impossible for them to achieve hegemony."
"Without this war, Troy, which controls the trade and has a large number of farms, will continue to grow stronger. In Hector's generation, they will be able to rule Asia Minor. They might even be able to go north and obtain a rich granary. At that time, Greece will not be able to withstand a single blow." When Pei Zi Yun heard this, he suppressed his anger and thought about it.
The mysterious shadow nodded his head lightly, agreeing with what Pei Zi Yun said.
"What you said is right. If the gods did not attack them, the Greeks would not be a match for the Trojans. Hector has the potential to become a true king. That is why Apollo was so kind to him. "
"And Achilles has killed Hector, which will also exhaust his destiny. Let's wait and see. His death is not far away."
"You are still not a match for Achilles. However, you have already obtained three drops of God's Blood. Return to the city and carry out the Journey of Destiny. I will help you take revenge and kill Achilles."
The mysterious shadow's words were very tempting, but Pei Zi Yun was not moved. He said, "There is no need. I can kill Achilles myself. Tell me, how should I carry out the Journey of Destiny?"
"There is a dense forest in front. I have already drawn up the ritual. All you have to do is find the location, and the God's Blood that you have obtained will be activated."
The mysterious shadow immediately explained the method to him.
Pei Zi Yun looked around and saw that there was indeed a dense forest not far away. He jumped off the chariot and took large strides towards the forest. Before long, he had reached the forest.
There were few people in the forest, and Pei Zi Yun dove in. Based on his senses, he found the location that the lady had mentioned.
"It's here." The shadow spoke. Feeling that no one was paying attention to him, Pei Zi Yun was about to step on it when he suddenly asked, "Is the enemy strong this time?"
"Not very strong, but very annoying." The lady replied.
Pei Zi Yun nodded his head and stepped on it.
"Boom!" Everything in front of him changed.
