Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 548: The death of Paramedes
The Greek camp is not far from the beach, it is a shelter on the high ground.
At this time, the camp was still very lively. Soldiers went to cut down trees around to build trenches and fences around the camp.
Rows of camp tents were erected, and tanks were pulled ashore by the soldiers, neatly arranged in rows, and bags of grain were brought ashore and stacked in the camp tents.
The soldiers dug the ditches, the craftsmen built the watchtower, and the camp gradually took shape.
The smaller ships on the sea were dragged to the shore when the tide was high, and the underside of the ships were padded with stones to prevent the bottom of the ship from being damp and rotted.
A team of soldiers cut down and collected wood, built wooden beds, picked up firewood, and piled them into piles. The wooden beds were placed on the piles, and Palot Silaos's body was placed on them.
A small altar has been built on the pyre. There is a pedestal in the center of the altar on which the statue of Zeus is placed.
The morale of the Greek coalition forces is a bit low compared to the confidence they had when they landed.
The heroes and princes gathered in a circle, silently watching Palot Silaos lying quietly on the pyre. At this time, it was as if sleeping, quiet and peaceful, but everyone knew that, He could never wake up again.
His brother Padalques was even more in tears: "Father, how can I explain to you?"
The king of Filak has two sons, Padalcus and Palot Silaos. Palot Silaos is also a decent prince, and he also has a lovely fiancee, La Odamia. , Is the daughter of Argo's hero Akastos. She sadly bid him farewell and sent him to war. Now she will never see her fiance.
The princes are a little bit sad. They thought that Troy would attack with such a large number of people. After all, Hercules led dozens of ships and looted Troy. Now he died on the first day. A prince!
The army priest put the sacrifices into the altar, took the clear water from the jar and sprinkled the altar and the sacrifices, and built a pyre around it, and sprinkled Palot Silaos with clear water.
The priest silently prayed to Zeus, hoping that he would take care of Palot Silaos' soul.
Agamemnon fell on his knees, holding his hands high, praying loudly.
"Ah, dear Palott Silaos, how sad I am when you leave. I hope that the great Zeus can take your soul back to the sky. I will wash you away from your shame and make me despicable. The Trojans paid the price for what they did today."
After praying, someone lit the pyre with a torch, and the corpse was consumed by the raging fire along with the pyre.
The fire went out, and only a pile of ashes remained on the spot. Someone filled the ashes in a porcelain jar and buried the ashes under a lush elm tree in the bay.
The funeral was simple and solemn. Everyone formed a circle and moved slowly around the elm tree, remembering Pallot Silaos.
While the funeral was going on, no one noticed that Odysseus sneaked away. When he arrived at a camp, a servant came in and bowed: "Master, I follow your instructions and focus on the funeral while paying attention. Quietly buried a piece of gold in Paramedes’ camp."
Odysseus glanced slightly, lost a piece of gold, and said: "It's done well, you will pack up and salute and go home today, saying that it is to report the safety of the family."
"Yes, master." The servant happily took it and stepped back.
Odysseus had a sullen face and called out another warrior. The warrior didn’t know all of this, so he listened to the king’s words: "I have a servant who stole gold while I wasn’t paying attention. It’s an ugly family. , You kill him secretly for me, throw it into the sea, and the gold will be given to you."
"Yes, the honorable king." The warrior was filled with righteous indignation. The servant stole the gold and should be killed. After chasing it out, he heard a scream soon after.
After Odysseus had done all this, he quietly returned to the funeral and mourned Palot Silaos together. No one noticed anything unusual.
The solemn funeral was finally over, everyone dispersed, each returned to the camp, the soldiers stood guard to patrol, each performed their duties, and everything returned to normal.
Odysseus returned to the camp and wrote a letter to Paramedes in the name of King Priam. The letter talked about gold and thanked Paramedes for promoting Menelaus and Paris duel.
Looking at the letter he had personally concocted, a smile appeared on Odysseus's face. After checking it carefully, he found that there was no problem, so he left the camp and hurried to Agamemnon's camp.
Agamemnon’s tent is in the center of the entire camp. The tent is the largest and most luxurious and comfortable in the whole camp. There is a thick woolen blanket inside the tent. Agamemnon has just returned from the funeral. Leaning on the woolen blanket thinking about the changes in the whole battle.
Odysseus hurriedly lifted the curtains of the camp, and as soon as he entered, he eagerly shouted: "Great commander, look, what is this?"
As he said, he handed the letter over. Agamemnon hadn't reacted yet in his thoughts, but Odysseus was eager to take it down.
I just opened the folded letter and read it for a while, Agamemnon's face changed drastically, and he immediately asked angrily: "Odysseus, where did you get this letter?"
"Great commander, this is when I went to find Paramedes, he happened to be not there, and he was found in the camp."
Agamemnon's hands trembled in anger, and he roared: "Hurry up and summon all princes and heroes to my camp, and at the same time call Paramedes to me."
The messenger took the order and went down.
In a short while, princes and heroes rushed to Agamemnon's camp. Agamemnon handed them the parchment letter. When everyone read it, their discoloration changed.
Padalks, who had just died of his brother, and Menelaus, who was injured, were even more furious, sipping: "It turns out that there is a rape, we have failed, even if he is the son of King Nauplius. , Must kill him."
At this moment, Paramedes entered the tent and saw the angry Greek princes and heroes.
Agamemnon handed the letter to Paramedes who had just walked in, and when he looked at it for a while, he said, "What do you think?"
"This is all defamation and framing." Paramedes read the letter and shouted loudly, knowing in his heart that someone was going to kill him.
"Since you said it was slander and framing, it is good. I will now appoint a few people to form a trial team to review you. If there is no such thing, I will pay you innocence."
"Commander Agamemnon, even if you ask someone to investigate, I, Paramedes is innocent." Paramedes said.
"Odysseus, I will appoint you to be the presiding judge of this trial. All princes are juries. You must check the matter with Prince Paramedes." Agamemnon Talking.
"Great commander, thank you very much for trusting me. I will definitely investigate Prince Paramedes seriously and try to return him to his innocence."
After that, Odysseus ordered a search of Paramedes’ residence, and the results surprised everyone and dug up a large amount of gold in Paramedes’ camp.
The prince of the jury met and shouted: "The traitor should die."
Odysseus glanced around, seeing some princes bowed their heads and said nothing, some princes were filled with righteous indignation, and some princes did not change their expressions and were delighted.
"My strategy is very simple. Many princes may not see the problem, but Paramedes has offended many people, and no one wants to speak for him."
"The most important thing is, Paramedes, there is no **** to speak for him."
This is also an important reason for Odysseus to frame Paramedes. If another person is used to say something in the spirit, this plan may not be successful.
"Moreover, the first battle was a bit disadvantageous, it hurt morale, and there must be a scapegoat. That's why our commander Agamemnon supported it."
At the moment, the trial team sentenced Paramedes to death with the approval of Agamemnon.
"Hateful Paramedes, your mistake has caused Greece to suffer a great loss. I am now condemning you to death on behalf of the coalition forces."
Odysseus said: "Paramedes, for the sake of being a prince, we can use a stone to kill you instead of a sword."
Paramedes saw the conspiracy, but was unable to present strong evidence of his innocence and that someone framed him. The betrayal of him was "conclusive evidence". In any case, he couldn't argue.
When he was dragged to the execution ground, he knew that the only gods who could save himself now were the gods, so he held up his hands and said, "Ah, Greeks, you will kill a learned, innocent singing with the most beautiful voice. Nightingale."
The princes present all laughed at this peculiar defense. In their opinion, what Paramedes said was the same as not saying it, weak and pale.
Actually, Paramedes said this to the gods. He knew that as long as there is a **** willing to help, he can live.
"Execution~IndoMTL.com~Odysseus had a scalp numb when he heard it. Although he knew that no **** would help him, what if a **** suddenly made a whim?
At the moment, an order was given, and the rocks were rained on Paramedes in the field.
Paramedes despaired, he shouted: "Truth, cheer, because you finally died in front of me."
When he shouted out loud, Odysseus listened and sneered: "Paramedes, at this point, you still refuse to ask the gods for help, but shout the truth."
"Can the truth help you?"
Though I think so, I am afraid that there will be many dreams in the night, so I smashed a boulder hard and hit Paramedes' head on the spot. He snorted and fell to the ground. The blood was dripping over the ground, and he couldn't live anymore.
Agamemnon looked on coldly, waiting for the genius to confirm that Paramedes was dead before ordering Paramedes to be buried.
Paramedes was confirmed to be a Greek traitor and sentenced to death, so he was not eligible to enjoy a funeral as solemn as Palote Silaos.
So, he can only be buried, not cremation.
Agamemnon also thought that he was a king's son, so he ordered his burial, otherwise it is very likely that he will be left in the wilderness.
The surrounding princes and heroes looked at everything silently, few people showed sympathetic eyes, even Menelaus, who had a good impression of him, also treated him because of Odysseus’s provocation during his last mission. There is no good feeling, some just hate.
Mount Olympus, the gods looked at all of this, as Odysseus thought, with a cold expression on their faces.
Only Nemesis, the goddess of justice, watched from the sky because of her duty, and decided to punish the Greeks and Odysseus who deceived them into committing crimes, causing them to suffer disaster.
"Despicable Greeks, you will be punished for the justice you have lost. I will show you that justice is never missing."
