The princes were discussing Odysseus' Trojan Horse Plan. At that moment, Prophet Calcas suddenly sensed something and raised his head to look at the sky.
He saw a giant eagle flying over the camp. The giant eagle had a wingspan of seven to eight meters, and it circled above the Greek camp. Then, it let out a sharp cry. The cry was loud and clear, like a thunderclap.
"This is the eagle of Zeus."
The princes and heroes saw Zeus' eagle circling above the Greek camp. They knew that Zeus, the king of the gods, had agreed to the Trojan Horse Plan and was urging the Greeks to act quickly.
Everyone was pleasantly surprised. Zeus was the king of the gods. With his support, the Trojan Horse Plan also meant that it had the support of the gods.
"General Agamemnon, the eagle has brought the decree of Zeus. Our plan has the support of God, and it will definitely succeed."
"I think we should implement the plan as soon as possible because God is urging us. We can't let God wait too long."
"The death knell of Troy has rung. We just need to follow God's will."
Everyone was discussing, but they were all about immediately implementing the Trojan Horse Plan. It was obvious that the arrival of God's eagle had given everyone confidence.
Agamemnon looked at the reactions of the Greek heroes and knew that everyone supported this plan. However, he still said to Calcas, "Prophet Calcas, this plan has the support of God. Do you have anything else to add?"
"General Agamemnon, God has brought the best news. I have nothing else to add," Calcas said.
Agamemnon nodded and said, "Great Greek warriors, God has given us guidance. We must implement the Trojan Horse Plan as soon as possible. Let us attack the walls of Troy together."
"Attack Troy."
The heroes understood the importance of this plan. They all cheered and responded to Agamemnon's suggestion to implement the plan as soon as possible.
After discussing the details of the Trojan Horse Plan, the princes' meeting came to an end and everyone dispersed.
Prophet Calcas stood up and walked out. He saw Odysseus. Although he did not like this King Itaka and felt that he was too smart, he still stopped Odysseus.
"Austin, do you think this plan will work?"
Austin saw that it was the prophet who stopped him. Even though he did not like Calchas, he said patiently, "You are a prophet. You should know that as long as there is God's support, there is no plan that cannot succeed."
With that, Odysseus turned and left without saying much to Calchas.
Calcas stood where he was and thought about it. He knew that Austin's words made sense. As long as the plan was supported by the gods, it would definitely succeed. There was no other reason — power!
Many wise men in history doubted themselves after their failures. Could it be that their strategies were not good enough and were inferior to monkeys?
Actually, it was just that the monkey might have more power and backing.
Carcas already knew this. The reason why he asked Austin was because he was worried. After all, they had to give up the entire Greek camp. If they failed, even if the gods encouraged them, they would not be able to make a comeback.
Idasan Kidi
This base on the mountainside had been built for a few years and was starting to take shape. There was only one road that led to the base. Other than the cliff at the back, this was the only road that led to the base. It was a place that was easy to defend but hard to attack.
There were also a few watchtowers in the base. Basically, all the movements in the surroundings could be observed through the watchtowers. If the enemy attacked the base on Mount Ida, the people in the watchtowers would be the first to notice the danger.
There were seven to eight buildings in the base, and every building was made of wood. At this moment, Pei Ziyun was lying on a soft bed in one of the wooden houses. His face was slightly pale, but it was much better than when he was first sent here.
When he was first sent here, Pei Ziyun's face was pale and dark. When Onone and Helen saw him, they were shocked and started crying.
It was only when Pei Ziyun reminded her in time that Onone reacted and ran to the Kebulun River to find her father.
River God Kebulun heard that his son-in-law Paris was injured. Under Onone's pleas, he gave Pei Ziyun some spiritual medicine to treat him. This was actually fate. Otherwise, he would not have agreed.
Onone used the spiritual medicine given by her father to apply on Pei Ziyun's wound. The effect was very obvious. Not long after it was applied, the wound became much better.
"Onone, thank you for the spiritual medicine, and thank your father for giving it to me. Without it, I would have been in trouble," Pei Ziyun said.
"Darling, you are the most important. Without you, I can't live on," Onone said in a low voice.
"Paris, how do you feel now?" Helen asked.
"I feel much better now. I believe it won't be long before I can get out of bed and walk," Pei Ziyun said with a smile.
"That's great," Helen said happily.
At this moment, a servant came in excitedly and said, "Prince Paris, with the death of Achilles, the Greeks have lost the possibility of victory and have retreated. They have burned their camp and only left a wooden horse in the camp."
Pei Ziyun heard this and did not say anything. He looked at the servant's excited face and knew that the Trojans were probably just as excited.
The Battle of Troy had been going on for almost seven years. Everyone was exhausted. Now that the Greeks had retreated, it was especially good news for the Trojans.
Pei Ziyun sighed and said, "Now that the Trojan Horse has appeared, it seems that the final moment is not far away. We must be prepared."
As for stopping this plan or rescuing the Trojans, there was no need to think about it. The gods of Olympus would not agree.
"Apart from this, what other news did the Greeks have?" Pei Ziyun asked.
"Prince Paris, we caught a foreigner who was being persecuted by the Greeks. He brought us the latest news of the Greeks," the servant said.
Pei Ziyun knew that this person was the one who carried out the Trojan Horse plan, but he could not expose him. After a moment of silence, he said, "Mm, I understand. You can leave now."
The servant bowed and left the room.
Pei Ziyun pursed his lips and thought for a moment. He quickly glanced at Cassandra and saw that she was in a daze. She said, "Cassandra, my beloved sister, what are you thinking about?"
"Paris, my beloved brother, I had a dream. I saw the city of Troy directly connected to the underworld of Hades. I saw the city filled with blood and sparks, and I saw the god of death rushing out from the belly of the wooden horse."
"But I know that you won't believe me. Even if I say a million things, you still won't believe me." Cassandra's face was full of tears as she said this. She knew the truth of Troy's impending destruction, but before it happened, no one would accept it.
Priests and prophets could see many things that ordinary people couldn't. Knowing the truth in advance was also a form of torture for them.
Pei Ziyun listened quietly to Cassandra's words. He knew that she had received a revelation, but there was nothing he could do. He looked at the sorrowful Cassandra and said, "No, I believe your prophecy."
Pei Ziyun's words were out of Cassandra's expectations. She was stunned for a moment, then tears started flowing down her face. She said, "Ah, Paris, you believe me. Quickly go to the city and tell father that you are his most beloved son. He will believe your words."
Cassandra looked anxious, as if she was afraid that if Pei Ziyun was late, Troy would be breached. But before Pei Ziyun could say anything, she seemed to see the future again. She said, "No, Paris, don't go. If you go back, you will immediately be sent to the underworld of Hades."
As she said this, Cassandra choked on her tears and turned to leave.
Pei Ziyun didn't chase after her. He knew that what she said was right. If he dared to take a step at a critical moment, he would be punished by the gods.
In Troy, there was an unlucky man who was awake. He wanted to warn the Trojans, but in the end, his whole family died.
That was Apollo's priest, Laocoon.
Schemes could be broken, but power could not. Pei Ziyun ordered the servants, "Look after her, as well as Hector's wife and son. Don't let them go back now."
After giving the order, he sank into deep thought and his soul sank into space.
In the space above the darkness, two small halls stood side by side.
"Eh, the Greek Temple is glowing."
The small hall was originally dark and calm, but now it was glowing. Pei Ziyun hesitated for a moment, then his soul went towards the Greek Temple.
The moment he stepped in, there was a loud boom, and a torch was lit up, illuminating the main hall.
The main hall was made of marble, and the pillars were carved with all sorts of monsters. There were also storms, flames, and other disasters. Finally, there was a scene of slaughter.
The last statue was very tall, and it was Achilles. He raised his sword and looked like he was shouting, but he could no longer move.
The light just now had come from his body. As the light shone, traces of power were extracted, and there were traces of indescribable power.
With this power, the entire temple seemed to be wiped clean, and became bright and clean. In the middle of the altar, a staircase appeared.
"I have killed heroes consecutively, and ten levels have been filled. Now that the staircase for the statue has appeared, I only need to satisfy all the requirements before I can produce the statue, and become a complete god."
"Of the three conditions, the first is that the destruction of Troy is imminent, and no one can stop it. The second condition is to fill the trap set by the gods."
"The power of Achilles has already filled one-third of the gap in the trap."
"I still lack two offerings that are close to the gods."
"Where can I fill this gap?" Pei Ziyun frowned and thought, "If I were to kill those normal heroes, how many would I need to kill to fill the gap?"
Thinking of this, Pei Ziyun shook his head, "The gods would not agree to this, especially when there is a prophecy."
Pei Ziyun thought hard, and suddenly, he thought of a target, "Perhaps, this can be done."
"I have done many things for you, isn't it time for me to make a request?"
