Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 609: Achilles’ humiliation
Greek campsite
According to Achilles dragging Hector's corpse all the way back to the warship with the chariot. During the towing process, the corpse was contaminated by rocks and soil, and a bloodstain was bright.
Achilles unloaded Hector's body from the chariot and dragged the body to the warship, while Patroclus' body was lying quietly on the wooden plank.
"Boom." Hector's corpse was thrown heavily by Achilles. The corpse was smashed to the ground, face down in front of Patroclus's corpse, his face and body covered with blood, as if to Patroclus pleaded guilty.
The news of Achilles' triumphant return spread immediately throughout the Greek camp.
"Commander Agamemnon, Achilles brought Hector's body back, and apparently planned to cremate Patroclus's body for burial." Herald Typios rushed back to report immediately.
"Well, order our soldiers to chop wood, build piles of wood, and build a cremation stand. These will be used soon." Agamemnon said.
"Yes, commander in command." Herald Typios replied, and immediately went out to give orders.
Achilles threw down Hector’s body and heard the news: “Achilles, Agamemnon ordered the soldiers to take the animals to cut the wood and cut down the tallest tree on Mount Ida. Come down."
"Agamemnon is so interesting." Actually, after killing Hector and having a good omen, Achilles suddenly felt fearless, only laughed, summoned the soldiers, and ordered: "You all put on armor, all the chariots are put on horses, and we are going to hold a funeral for Patroclus."
The Greek warriors belonging to Achilles lined up neatly, and the chariots lined up in rows. Not only that, the remaining heroes and princes all joined in armors, and the team grew larger.
Achilles loaded the body of Patroclus into the coffin, and Hector's body was still strapped through the pierced hole between the ankle and heel and tied to the chariot.
Soon, the funeral procession moved forward: the prince, the warrior, and the Yuzhe were in front, followed by thousands of soldiers on foot in armor.
These soldiers took neat steps, following the chariot step by step.
Achilles himself and several people carried the coffin containing the body of Patroclus, while Hector's body was dragged behind him in a chariot.
Everyone is paying attention to this behavior: "Achilles insults the hero's body like this, and is not afraid of God's sin?"
"Hush, I don't know if God has condemned it, but if Achilles hears it, I will get angry."
Everyone walked for a while and came to an open area in the camp, where a cremation platform had been built with wood.
Achilles placed the coffin on the cremation platform with a large amount of timber and piles of wood, stepped back, cut off a lock of brown hair with a knife, and stared at the vast sea.
"Ah, God of Spelsios, my father once made a vow that when I triumph, he asked me to cut off my hair and sacrifice fifty sheep in your holy forest and altar. What a pity his wish It failed!"
"God of the river, you did not accept the prayer to prevent me from returning to the motherland. Now, please don't be surprised. I have to give my hair to Patroclus and let him take it to Hades. !"
Speaking, Achilles put a lock of hair in his friend's hand, and then lit the pile of wood with a torch held in his hand.
The fire blazed, flooding the body of Patroclus, and the flames rose into the sky.
The Greeks surrounded the entire burning cremation platform in a circle. At this time, all the Greeks deeply cherished Patroclus, who was once a powerful hero active on the battlefield.
At that time, he turned the tide and saved the Greeks who were almost in desperate situation, but unfortunately, he was killed by Hector.
Achilles said to the burning body of Patroclus: "My friend, Patroclus, may you enter the Hades happily! The vows I made to you are all fulfilled."
"Only Hector's body is not burned, and his body will be used to feed the dogs." Achilles said fiercely, and with a wave of his hand, a group of hungry dogs were moving aggressively towards Hector's The corpse barked, and as soon as the soldier's rein was loosened, the hungry dogs would rush out and eat Hector's corpse.
The surrounding heroes and princes looked at this scene with complicated eyes. Some people thought Achilles was too much. Although the two sides fought like water and fire, under normal circumstances, they would not insult the corpse.
Furthermore, Paris respected the corpses of the dead Greek heroes last time, washing them all, applying perfume, and returning the corpse of Patroclus.
Now Achilles’ approach is completely different from Paris’s approach. I don’t know if Paris understood that Achilles treated Hector’s corpse in this way, would he still respect the Greek hero’s body? Will the body of Patroclus be sent back, everyone thought.
But Achilles is resolute now, and he has just triumphed, and there is another case before him. No one dares to touch him, and everyone chooses to be silent.
"Wow."
The reins on the soldiers' hands were released. These hungry dogs have been hungry for a few days, and Hector’s body was coated with the smell of what dogs like to eat, all facing Hector’s body. Pounced, looking at the scene, he wanted to eat his corpse clean.
But God was very angry when he saw this scene. Aphrodite suddenly appeared next to Hector's corpse, guarding Hector's corpse and preventing a group of hungry dogs from approaching.
The hungry dog felt the breath of the gods, and all of them sobbed in fright and fled away in embarrassment.
Aphrodite applied rose balm and longevity ointment to Hector's corpse again, so that all the scars and filth that had been dragged out of Hector's body disappeared.
Apollo also dropped a thick fog, covering Hector's corpse to prevent the sun from drying the corpse.
The heroes and soldiers in Greece saw the hungry dog afraid to approach Hector's body, and thick fog fell and covered Hector's body. Everyone looked solemn.
It is obvious that the gods took the initiative to protect Hector's body from suffering. To abuse the corpse like this, I am afraid that it will usher in the wrath of the gods?
Achilles also had a solemn expression, knowing that the gods had taken care of Hector's body, and the idea of feeding Hector's body to the dog might not be implemented.
"Achilles must die." Apollo said sadly.
Hector has always been a hero protected by Apollo. Seeing his body being humiliated by Achilles in this way, Apollo's anger has flourished.
"Honorable Apollo, maybe Achilles understands this, so he has no taboos." Aphrodite said.
"Really? But the punishment of the gods is not limited to life." Apollo said in a deep voice.
Apollo’s words are very straightforward. Gods punish a person not only before he is alive, but the soul can also be punished after death.
"That is the realm of Hades, and besides, we must not humiliate Achilles too much for the sake of Hector."
Apollo just wanted to say something. He banged his ears and heard the sound of the horn. This horn sound cannot be heard by mortals, but for the gods, it seems that the barriers of space can be ignored, and they can be heard clearly no matter how far away. So as to summon the gods to quickly rush back to Mount Olympus.
Apollo was shocked, but he hadn't heard the horn for a long time, and said: "What's the matter, the last time I heard this voice, or when Gaia's giant attacked Mount Olympus, what happened this time? "
"We'll be clear when we rush back." Aphrodite said.
After speaking, the two gods rose into the sky, passed through the barriers of space, and quickly rushed back to the Holy Mountain of Olympus.
Returning to the top of the sacred mountain and stepping into the hall of the central palace, Apollo felt a different atmosphere, and even saw the solemn expressions of the gods.
It seems that what happened this time is not small. Apollo wanted to ask a question. Artemis pulled Apollo to the side and whispered: "My dear brother, the three goddesses of fate received Destiny feedback, and at the same time, they have also been backlashed. They issued a new oracle-a new **** will be born in mankind."
Apollo was very shocked. The news was so unexpected and there were no signs at all.
"A new **** is born among mankind?" Apollo felt incredible.
Since the last time Hercules became a god, Zeus (zeus) has been paying close attention to the heroes among mortals to prevent anyone from coming to the gods again~IndoMTL.com~The outbreak of the Trojan War was also Zeus. It is necessary to cut off the threatening heroes among the mortals in order to eliminate the possibility of becoming gods.
But the situation now seemed to be far beyond expectations, and Apollo fell into contemplation.
Zeus sat on a throne made of gold and ivory, his expression was serious, and he no longer had the relaxed and happy expression that he used to control everything. He also felt that the situation was beyond his control, his face was calm, and he didn't speak.
A new **** was born among the mortals, and the Battle of Troy was too surprising to the gods.
The surrounding gods looked solemn and were shocked by the news, and they were also the official oracles issued by the Three Goddesses of Fate.
The gods discussed each other, discussing who might become gods this time, Hera whispered to the main gods: "Who is this new god?"
"I feel that I am not a Greek." Poseidon frowned. This is very bad news. The ability of mortals to ascend to gods has shaken the foundation of God, and it is still such an uncontrollable ascension of gods.
"Do you remember Achilles' good omen?" Apollo frowned and said.
Although everyone knows that Apollo meant Achilles to die, they all agree with Apollo's words.
The rainbow crown scene where Achilles killed Hector last time impressed the gods too deeply. This time the person who became a **** among mortals may not be him.
Several gods glanced at each other, and they all saw the murderous intent in each other's eyes.
"Achilles must die!"
"But Achilles still has some afterglow of fate." A consensus was reached on having to die. A **** frowned and said, with the afterglow of fate, killing him would be a little bit resistance.
"This afterglow of fate is not enough to protect him, and I believe our father will quickly cut Achilles for us."
The gods fear fate, but not fear. This afterglow is not enough to protect Achilles.
