"It's the power of Hephaestus."
Pei Zi Yun was shocked. He knew that it was the deity who made him unable to move. He was shocked and angry at the same time. It was obvious that after Achilles' death, he was no longer of any use. He thought to himself, 'They're already burning the bridge after crossing it.'
He did not try to block it. His legs gave way and his body bent down. The arrow missed his vitals.
"Pu." The arrow hit him in the shoulder. The moment it touched him, the pain seeped deep into his body. The wound rotted and turned black.
Pei Zi Yun knew that this could be the poison arrow that killed Cockenos. It would not be easy to deal with it. He had to find a place where there was no one around. Only then could he think of a way to expel the poison.
He hurriedly said, "Retreat, retreat, retreat. Close the gates."
Pei Zi Yun knew that the deity would not allow him to take Achilles' armor. Without hesitation, he retreated into the city.
"Bring back the body of Achilles!" cried the Greeks, seeing that the Trojans had all retreated into the city.
Troy Palace
Princess Kassandra woke up in shock. She realized that she was lying on her bed and her mouth was dry. She saw a bottle of water not far away. She supported herself with one arm and drank a mouthful. She felt that it was cold and woke up. She felt sweat all over her forehead.
Just now, she had a nightmare. In the dream, Troy was destroyed, and all the citizens of Troy were slaughtered. Facing the tragic fate of Troy, Kassandra, who knew about it in advance, was extremely sad. She saw everything and loudly reminded the Trojans to be careful, but everyone was indifferent and could not hear her at all.
In the end, she screamed until her throat was hoarse and she could not make a single sound. She watched as Troy was destroyed. This was unbearable to her.
"Dreams can be real. No one has ever listened to my prophecies." Kassandra was slowly pulled into the nightmare again. At this point, a palace maid came in and shouted, "Princess, Princess!"
Kassandra woke up immediately. Her face was covered in sweat and she looked around in shock.
"I had a horrible nightmare!" Princess Kassandra was still scared.
"Yes, Princess." The maid replied. She saw that the Princess was having a nightmare the moment she entered.
"I have a feeling that Troy is about to be destroyed." Kassandra murmured to herself with a heavy expression. But she did not intend to talk to a maidservant, "What do you want?"
"Princess, Prince Paris was shot by a poisonous arrow on the battlefield," the maid reported.
"What?" When Kassandra heard that Paris had been injured, she was shocked. Ever since the start of the war, Paris had never been injured. She did not expect that he would be injured this time. It seemed that the war was becoming more and more intense.
Furthermore, this younger brother was the key to the survival of Troy. For him to be injured at this critical juncture, one could not help but wonder if Troy could withstand the attack of the Greeks.
She stood up and grabbed the maid's shoulder anxiously. "How is Paris's injury? Take me there quickly. "
"Princess, the doctor is treating Prince Paris. Please follow me," Kassandra said as she led Kassandra out of the room.
Kassandra hurriedly followed the maidservant to the front hall. King Priam was standing there with an anxious look on his face.
Kassandra walked into the hall and did not speak. She looked at where Pei Zi Yun was lying. There was a group of royal doctors treating him.
The royal doctors discussed the treatment from time to time, but after a while, they all shook their heads. One of the doctors stood up and said, "Prince Paris, the poison you have is exactly the same as the one that killed the King of Cook Noth. Only the gods can cure this poison. There is nothing we can do."
As Kassandra listened to the discussion, she suddenly remembered a prophecy. The prophecy said that Paris was injured, and only Onone could save him from death.
She immediately said, "Paris, where is your wife?"
"She has already gone to Mount Ida," Pei Zi Yun said.
"Then you should go to Mount Ida to find your wife, Onone. Only she can save you." Kassandra immediately said, "This is the prophecy. You asked Athena for it."
Then, Kassandra immediately pointed to a few servants and said, "Quick, quick, carry Prince Paris to Mount Ida."
The servants looked at King Priam. Priam seemed to be deep in thought and said, "Go, Paris. Go and treat him. Come back when you are healed."
The servants were about to lift Pei Zi Yun when Pei Zi Yun's heart moved. He said, "Kassandra, there is no benefit in staying here. Follow me to Mount Ida. Trust me."
Pei Zi Yun said this because he knew that Troy was about to be destroyed. There was no benefit in Kassandra staying here. She might even be captured by the Greeks.
As for his own injuries, they were all following the original 'script'. He had to bear the consequences if his life was not in danger.
In history, Paris would die here, and Pei Zi Yun would be reborn. He would no longer be restrained and would be free to do whatever he wanted. He would no longer have to worry about the interference of fate.
Kassandra didn't understand Pei Zi Yun's plan. When she heard Pei Zi Yun's words, she was a little hesitant. At this time, Paris left Troy and headed towards Mount Ida. Troy was in dire need of manpower, and she couldn't leave.
But then King Priam saw that she was troubled, and knew what she was worrying about, and said, "Go, child. I will be enough for Troy. Take care of Paris when you go to Mount Ida."
King Priam's words made Kassandra's heart waver.
"Priestess, go to Mount Ida. That is where you should go." At this time, a voice came into Kassandra's ears.
"It's Apollo!" Kassandra heard that even the gods wanted her to go to Mount Ida. It seemed like going to Mount Ida was the right choice. She thought about it and agreed.
"Father, after Paris and I go to Mount Ida, it will be very difficult for you to be alone. You must protect yourself and mother," Kassandra said.
"My child, you don't have to worry about me and your mother. I created Troy from a pile of ruins. I can still handle this little situation."
"Father, I will leave first." Kassandra said and turned to leave the hall.
A few servants carried Pei Zi Yun out of the hall and outside the palace. They carried Pei Zi Yun to the chariot, and Kassandra followed.
Whack.
The skilled coachman cracked his whip, and the chariot started moving towards Mount Ida. Meanwhile, in the side hall at the back, Queen Hecuba turned around and sadly watched her children leave. After a long time, she said to her husband, "Have you made up your mind?"
Priamos nodded. "We all know about fate, don't we? In the end, humans can't fight against the will of the gods. "
The destruction of Troy was imminent, and the Torch Plan could be carried out through Paris.
"Go, take your people to Mount Ida. Don't come back until the Greeks retreat," Priam said in his heart. He didn't say it out loud, afraid that the jealous gods would hear him.
Greek Camp
After the battle, the corpses of Achilles and Great Ajax were loaded onto the chariot and brought back to the camp.
When the chariot reached the camp, a few people carried the corpses back to the warship. At this moment, they were lying quietly on the wooden beds. Everyone surrounded the corpses and thought of the glory of the past. They couldn't help but cry.
Without a doubt, these were two great heroes. They had made great contributions in the Battle of Troy, but unfortunately, they had died on the battlefield at this moment.
"Two great heroes, how painful it is for you to leave me," a Greek hero said with a face full of tears.
"God, punish the despicable Trojans for us. These two heroes died under the enemy's arrows."
"God, thank you for bringing the bodies of these two heroes back safely."
Inside the warship, Agamemnon, Menelaus, Odysseus, Calchas, and the other Greek heroes and princes silently looked at the corpses of Great Ajax and Achilles.
They couldn't stop their tears from flowing. Firstly, they were crying for the unfortunate experience of the two heroes. Secondly, they empathized with them. Maybe one day, they would be the one lying here.
Someone brought clean water to help the two heroes clean their bodies, changed them into new clothes, and applied the best balm on their bodies.
After some cleaning, the blood on the faces and bodies of Achilles and Great Ajax were all gone. They lay quietly as if they had fallen asleep.
The cries of the people in the warship affected many Greek soldiers. Everyone wiped away their tears.
The Palace of Thetis of the Deep Sea
The cries of the Greeks mourning their heroes reached the bottom of the sea, all the way to Thetis' Palace.
Although Thetis had long known of Achilles' fate, when she heard the cries of the Greeks mourning for Achilles, she couldn't help but cry.
"My child."
Her cries caused many sea beasts to cry out in sorrow. Even the sea was affected by her cries, constantly stirring up.
The waves on the surface of the sea rolled one after another, and they seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
The prophet Calchas faintly heard the cries of Thetis. He knew that Achilles' mother, the goddess Thetis, was coming.
Achilles died on the battlefield, so it was reasonable for his mother to come to visit him.
He said to the people in the room with a serious face, "The goddess is coming. We have to avoid her. Don't let the goddess feel that we are being rude."
Usually, mortals would avoid places where gods appeared to show respect to the gods.
Everyone knew that Achilles' mother might come to visit her son, so they listened to Calchas' suggestion and left silently.
Sure enough, at night, Thetis walked out of the palace in the deep sea. She separated the huge waves and came to the shore where the Greeks' warship was without any obstacles.
"Roar!"
Behind Thetis, the sea monsters let out a loud roar. They could feel the sadness of the goddess, and their roars also carried bursts of mourning.
Thetis stepped on the surface of the sea and came forward in stealth. Everyone could only hear the roar of the sea monsters, but they couldn't see the goddess.
When Thetis came to the room of the warship, she saw the body of Achilles from afar.
She came to the side of the body and saw that the body of Achilles had been taken care of. She hugged her son, kissed his lips, and tears streamed down her face.
"My child, how cruel fate is. Your future has been decided a long time ago, and now you have finally come to this step. How sad I am."
As she spoke, she could no longer hold it in and began to cry loudly. In the camp, Achilles' two divine horses heard the goddess' cries and sensed that their master had died. They neighed, broke free from the yoke, and disappeared into the night.
Since Achilles was dead, they would no longer be driven by mortals.
But Thetis was indifferent. She was a god and naturally knew a lot of secrets. The horses that were immortal and could speak were born of the god of West Wind. The god gave them to the hero Peleus, and Peleus gave them to his son Achilles — — Mortals only thought it was glory, but did not know that they were the closest to the god to monitor Achilles.
Zeus's strategy was so far-sighted and far-sighted.
