Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 505: Citizen’s determination
Troy Square is a space that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. There is a circular fountain in the center of the square, and a statue of Zeus stands in the center of the fountain.
There is a sculpture of gods every some distance in the square, including gods such as Apollo, Hera, Hermes, and Athena.
At this moment, the square near the palace was full of citizens who came to participate in the civic assembly. Everyone was whispering to each other and talking.
After a while, the king came out of the palace and stepped onto the high platform on the square. Looking around, the crowd became silent. Everyone looked at King Priam with hope and waited to speak.
The king spoke slowly in a loud voice.
"Citizens, I am King Priam. This time we are summoned, the main thing is to let everyone decide who will be the ambassador to Greece."
"Everyone knows that I once sent Ante Navos as a peace envoy, holding an olive branch of peace to Greece, asking the Greeks to apologize for the robbery of my sister Hesione, and return her to the country, but the Greeks But he laughed and made Ante Navos suffer humiliation in Greece and was driven back by the Greeks."
When the King said this, his face was full of grief and indignation, and the citizens also showed the same hatred expressions. The envoy of a country was driven out. This is a provocation to Troy!
The new generation of citizens have long been accustomed to the strength of their own city-state. How can this be tolerated?
The king glanced at the citizens and was very satisfied. In fact, when Troy was destroyed, the young Priam single-handedly rebuilt Troy to its current scale. His prestige is very high, and he continues to say: "It is a peaceful way. The Greeks cannot be made amends, and the sister Hesione cannot be returned to the country as soon as possible. Then I want to let people lead a powerful army and use force to achieve goals that cannot be achieved with etiquette."
Anto Navos stood up excitedly at this moment. The first one clearly supported the king’s suggestion. He only listened to his memories: "Citizens, I, Anto Navos was insulted in Greece as an envoy at that time. I suffer day and night. Whenever I recall this past, I feel painful, and blame myself for not being able to restore the lost dignity of the Troy Kingdom."
Annto Navos became emotional and waved his hands: "The Greeks are all peaceful madmen, war cowards, the last time I went with peace, I was neglected and insulted by these madmen, this time, We should use strong force to make the cowards understand that the dignity of the Troy Kingdom cannot be violated and trampled."
Ante Navos' speech aroused strong indignation among the citizens towards the Greeks. They were angry, roared, and unanimously demanded that war be used to teach the arrogant Greeks.
At this time, an elderly Trojan, Pantos, stood out from the crowd, and saw his hands slightly raised and pressed down, slightly calming the anger of the citizens.
" Citizens, in my childhood, I heard my father Otils say that the gods had handed down oracles. If in the future a prince from the Laomedon family brings back a wife from Greece, then all Of Trojans will face disaster."
"Therefore, we must not be fooled by the honor of battle. Friends, let us live in peace and peace, and don't bet our lives in war desperately. In that case, perhaps even the most basic freedom will be lost. "
There was a mumble and sigh in the crowd.
"Pantos is alarmist, oracle, why haven't I heard of it?" said an old man about his age.
"Pantos deserves our respect, but he is old, and we can understand the pursuit of a stable and comfortable life, but the humiliation we suffer will not be washed away every day, and the dignity will not be regained every day."
"Without dignity, we can't get a stable and comfortable environment." This is what a middle-aged citizen said, and it has been praised by many people.
"Yes, we can only use strong force to make the cowardly Greek understand that Troy is no longer the Troy it used to be."
Every day dozens of merchant ships from various Greek city-states pass through the Dardanelles. At this time, they have to pay taxes. This is also one of the reasons why Troy has become so rich for many years, but the Greeks often have friction with it. It is because Troy was defeated and destroyed by the Greeks.
Therefore, the words of this young citizen won the strong approval of the surrounding citizens, and there is no majesty. How can I collect taxes from the caravans of the states?
This is related to the welfare of everyone.
Everyone expressed strong dissatisfaction with Pantos’s proposal and asked King Priam to ignore the intimidation of an elderly man, and boldly put the decision in his heart into action.
And everyone agreed that the most suitable messenger to go to Greece this time is Prince Paris.
"Essakus and Prince Helenos are prophets, and they are usually suitable envoys, but now, what we need is a prince of force."
"Hector cannot go, Prince Paris who can kill the Kraken is the one we like!"
Facing the enthusiasm of citizens, Pei Ziyun had to take the stage. He walked to the high stage: "Citizens, someone blamed me just now-Paris, you are the most suitable candidate, why not go?"
"But dear citizens, I have just returned from Mount Ida, and I don’t understand ceremonial diplomacy. How can I go to Greece? And I just married Onone not long ago, and want to stay in the city for a while. If I go to Greece, It will take at least a year, too long."
The citizens in the audience burst into laughter, and their affection greatly increased because of Paris's blunt words.
Someone immediately said: "Anto Navos is proficient in ceremonial diplomacy, but he was humiliated and was driven back. It is now necessary for a powerful prince to go to Greece as an envoy."
Another nobleman in the city said: “As for Onone’s embrace, it’s very good, but we will compensate and can serve as maidservants for Paris’s ten virgin slaves.”
At this point, there was another burst of laughter.
Pei Ziyun responded: "But my brother Helenos and the respectable Pantos both said that there was an oracle, saying that it is not good for me to go to Greece and that it would bring disaster to Troy."
The civic group responded: "If the gods make you make a mistake, then we will bear it together."
Pei Ziyun looked at King Priam, and saw him nodding lightly, knowing that the fire had arrived, and said: "That's the case, I won't refuse."
As soon as 's words fell, a plum appeared in front of him, and he quickly zoomed in to become a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and data appeared in front of his eyes.
"Task: The will of the people-the will of the gods is irresistible, but you (Paris) cannot bear the responsibility for causing the war (completion)"
Pei Ziyun is only a little bit, and his eyes suddenly turn black, and there is a strange appearance.
I saw myself on top, enveloped in a thick black air, forming a black cloud. What's more terrifying is that the cloud air stretched out many snake heads, seeming to swallow everything around.
At this time, the snake kept swimming in the clouds to the citizens, and as it swam past, the sun went out, and the ghosts of the underworld were roaring in the square. The citizens were smirking, but their eyes were full of tears.
But this strange phase was only a moment, and another fate point was added in a blink of an eye, and a new mission was released.
"Task: Find a new ally (Amazon Kingdom)"
"My black qi was reduced by 70%, but it did not disappear out of thin air, but was transferred to citizens. However, in history, citizens shed blood for Troy. After the city of Troy was broken, almost all the people were massacred. Transfer does not transfer, in fact, the result is the same.
"It's just Paris personally, get a little bit of life."
"Looking for new allies?"
"That's right, Amazon didn't actually send soldiers in history, it was just the queen's personal actions." Pei Ziyun thought thoughtfully.
"I hope Prince Paris can return triumphantly from his mission to Greece." The citizens did not know the change, and an elder was still talking.
"Victory!"
"Snow shame!"
"Triumphant!"
The crowd in the square shouted, their voices rushing into the sky, showing the humiliation of the Trojans for the fiasco decades ago and the desire for victory.
"Since all citizens of the National Assembly passed Paris as the envoy of Greece, Paris must not disappoint everyone's expectations. You must show your bravest side and let the arrogant Greeks know the power of Troy." King Priam said.
"At the same time, in order to strengthen Paris’s mission and increase the strength of the messenger group, I decided to build a workshop on Mount Ida and rebuild the large battleship." The king again issued an order to be on Mount Ida. Build a workshop.
"Call the citizens of the city for training. Those who have insufficient weapons can be sold by the treasury at a fair price."
The citizen assembly resolves all major events in the city-state. Every citizen has the right to vote in the citizen assembly. Every citizen may be elected as a member of the council. Every citizen must take turns to participate in the jury court, but also bears obligations. The most important part of this obligation is to fight.
Citizens must bring their own armor and weapons to join the army. The armor, weapons, and horses of each soldier are purchased by themselves, not provided by the state. The state only bears various logistical expenses during the battle.
But there are always relatively poor citizens. At this time, the treasury sells weapons at a fair price to truly arm every citizen.
"There is still some time before the envoy to Greece, Hector, I will send you to Flickia now. You must strive for the support of the Kingdom of Flickia and form an alliance with them."
"Yes, father, I must live up to expectations." Hertor said solemnly.
"Paris and Iphobos first went to the neighboring country Percinia to win the support and alliance of this kingdom." King Priam arranged in order.
"Father, we have to fight for more allies, the neighboring country Perchinia, I think Iphobos can go, I have a better place to go, that is, the farther Amazon kingdom, I am willing to be my father To win the support and alliance of the Amazons." Pei Ziyun stood up and expressed different opinions and said the country he was planning to go to.
"I also heard that there are monsters in Amazon. I want to help the Queen of Amazon to solve the monsters, so that we can better fight for friendship and facilitate support and alliances."
In history, Amazon’s Queen Ponte Silea still led troops to help Troy, mainly because she saw a sika deer while hunting and threw a gun, unexpectedly hitting her beloved sister Hippolyta, causing the goddess of revenge. Hunting down, no sacrifice can quell the goddess' anger.
Pente Silea hopes to use the expedition to get out of trouble, so she selects twelve female fighters to come to Troy-although they are all heroines, they are not formed troops.
Moreover, Pengtai Silea came too late, and died in the battle with almost no effect. If it comes earlier, it may give the Greeks more damage.
King Priam readily agreed with Pei Ziyun's suggestion. After all, it would be beneficial to Troy to win an ally.
The king looked around the audience: "Dear citizens, we are about to face war this time, but our army is far from enough. I hope that the lads present can show your courage and contribute to the victory of the Trojan Kingdom over the Greeks. Your greatest strength."
"The meeting is over."
When the meeting ended, the young and middle-aged Troy showed enough enthusiasm to enlist in the army and make their contributions to the coming war.
The Trojans are fighting spirit at this moment. They yearn for war more than ever. Their courage and determination make them full of confidence in this coming war.
Pei Ziyun also exited and looked at these: "Now, everything is the collective will. These people have indeed shed blood for Troy in history."
"Now, the elder Antonuoer is afraid that he has an affair, right?" Pei Ziyun's eyes flashed, and he looked at an old man with a gloomy expression.
But, to be fair, it’s not unreasonable, but only thinking about retreat—Antonol helped the king rebuild Troy and made a contribution, but in the Battle of Troy, this person opposed the war from the beginning. Encourage the king to return Helen in exchange for the retreat of the Greeks.
And when the Greek messenger came, he treated and protected the Greek messenger ~ IndoMTL.com~ so there were a few survivors after the city was broken, and the bodies of the Trojans were buried in this family.
However, this is also human nature. Not everyone wants to establish hegemony and gain the glory of a great country.
There are some people who only want to enjoy their present wealth. Although this is ridiculous, even if the Trojan seeks peace, Greece will launch war and will not allow Troy to rise peacefully.
Pei Ziyun shook his head slowly. When I saw this story in my previous life, I always felt that it could be changed, and even regretted the destruction of Troy.
It’s only now that I understand that not only Greece wants war, but Troy also wants war; not only kings want war, but citizens also want war; not only people want war, but gods also want war.
Anyone who blocks will be immediately broken to pieces. No, even Elder Antonuoer can only oppose it in a circuitous way, and cannot resist public opinion.
Even the high gods, there is no peaceful way to solve the contradiction between Greece and Asia Minor, and the contradiction between the gods and the order of divine power.
And I can only work hard to grow stronger in the war to fight for that ray of life.
"Is this the so-called small situation that can be changed, but the general situation is difficult to change?" Pei Ziyun thought, but speeded up his pace and went to the carriage, ready to return to his mansion immediately. , Always parting more and getting together less, he couldn't help sighing.
