Plundering the Dao of the Immortal Journey Chapter 553: Cheers
Troy City
Pei Ziyun took Kuknos's hand and rode into the city of Troy, riding in a luxuriously decorated four-horse chariot, with warriors holding shields at the front and back.
"Kuknos."
"The Great Kuknos."
"You are as admired as the gods."
The people of Troy heard that Kuknos led the army to help Troy defeat the Greeks, and they all came out to welcome them. Since the Greeks attacked Troy, many people were calm on the surface, still full of panic, and Kuknos' support made the fight cardiac.
The people cheered enthusiastically, shouting the name of Kuknos, and praising Kuknos's greatness.
King Kuknos smiled, was intoxicated with the cheers of the people of Troy, waved constantly, and enjoyed this wonderful time very much.
Pei Ziyun watched this scene quietly, thoughtfully.
Kuknos's strength, of course, should enjoy flowers and applause. The two of them went to the gate of the palace, and the excited crowd gradually dispersed.
In the palace banquet hall, King Priam has already prepared wine and food, and invited all the powerful figures in Troy to thank and welcome the ally King Kuknos together.
Pei Ziyun personally led Kuknos to the door of the banquet hall.
"Let us welcome, our respectable and dear ally, King Kuknos of Korona."
Kuknos entered the hall, everyone stood up and welcomed Kuknos to come. This etiquette made Kuknos very satisfied and intoxicated.
King Priam asked the maid to bring the most delicious food and the sweetest wine to Kuknos, for him to taste, and everyone toasted Kuknos, and the wine became hot from time to time.
Seeing many glasses of wine, and seeing the blood on Kuknos’s face, King Priam smiled: "Dear King Kuknos, your arrival has provided us with Troy. A lot of assistance, this is a little heart, I hope you won’t blame me for being too stingy."
Priam said, pointing to the exotic treasures in the new tray.
"King Priam, you are so polite. We are allies. For our friendship, it is God's duty to help you." Kuknos said.
Finally, Kuknos accepted some jewels from Priam.
Priams continued: "Dear King Kuknos, when Troy has achieved a total victory in the war against the Greeks, I will give you some land adjacent to your kingdom. You What do you think?"
Kuknos heard this, stood up excitedly, and said: "Dear King Priam, you are so generous."
"I think the Greeks are not as powerful as I imagined. Today I attacked the Greek camp and slaughtered the Greeks. The Greeks cannot stop me."
"Look, I will kill the heroes of the Greeks, burn down the camps and ships of the Greeks, and kill them quickly." Kuknos said aloud when a drink came up.
Priam was actually very clear in his heart that this war was actually written by gods. They would not agree to Troy's victory easily. They laughed drunkly and said: "King Kuknos, your idea is really great. , But the Greeks are not that vulnerable. I have to prepare how to face the Greeks' counterattack."
Pei Ziyun listened to Kuknos’s words and thought: "Poor Kuknos, you know what you just said, it’s almost crazy, I think the **** of death is already beckoning to you, the gods will never Let you live for too long, or wouldn't it upset the balance of this war?"
Greek campsite
Compared with the grand welcome celebration in Troy, the Greek camp can be said to be bleak. Kuknos' attack on the Greek camp was unstoppable, and it was a big blow to the Greek coalition forces.
The large camp can accommodate hundreds of people, and many kings, princes, and heroes gather.
"This time I was disturbed by the hateful Kuknos. How to deal with it, and everyone has any opinions." Agamemnon said with a deep expression on his face.
There was no sound in the field, and everything remained silent. It is true that Kuknos’s invulnerability is too abnormal. No weapon can leave a scar on his body. In the absence of Achilles, the Greek Allied Forces really No one is an opponent.
Now the princes are sitting together discussing countermeasures, and can't think of a way to deal with the son of Poseidon, the sea god.
Just when Agamemnon was impatient, the prophet Karkas said: "Great Commander Agamemnon, I think we should sacrifice to the gods and seek the gods to answer this problem for us."
Everyone nodded, thinking that Kalkas’s suggestion was good.
The camp was attacked today. Just as Diomedes was about to be killed by Kuknos, the patron saint of Athens, the goddess Athena, also appeared on the spot, sheltering Diomedes and making him Avoid disaster.
This shows that the gods still look after Greece and seek answers from the gods, which is indeed the best way now.
"Karkas said yes, then we will hold a sacrifice and ask the gods' opinions." Agamemnon was a little depressed, his eyes swept away, and he decided to sacrifice.
The Greeks quickly built an altar on the campground. They placed the statues of Zeus and Athena on the altar's pedestal.
The servants brought the bull. With the help of the sacrifice, the bull was quickly slaughtered, and the beef was placed on the altar in different categories.
As soon as they were put on, the two best pieces of beef disappeared. This shows that Zeus and Athena both enjoyed the sacrifices, and everyone showed surprise expressions.
After a short while, the priest cheered and shouted: "There is an oracle, I heard the oracle!"
The gods descended the oracle. This was the support of the gods. The priest quickly told the Greeks the content of the oracle: "Take back the abandoned Philocthetes and you will win."
Everyone's faces showed joy, and the things that bothered everyone finally had a solution.
It's just that the princes look a bit complicated and weird.
The Greeks set sail to Caluce Island to replenish domestic water.
Philokthetes found a collapsed altar on the island, which was built by the Argo hero Jason during his voyage for the goddess Athena, so he was very happy and wanted to sacrifice to the goddess.
At this moment, a large snake guarding the altar took a bite on the hero's heel. After boarding the ship, the pain was unbearable, and the cry of pain also disturbed people's peace, causing the whole army to be uneasy.
So he decided to abandon the poor hero on the uninhabited beach of Lemnos. Odysseus loaded the sleeping Philothetes on a small boat, rowed to the beach, and threw it on.
Now go and ask Philothetes to come back. I am afraid that others will not be able to go. The princes have focused their eyes on Odysseus, and Odysseuston felt distressed.
"It is everyone's decision to abandon Philothetes. Why do you blame me?"
When Odysseus abandoned Phillock Thetes, he didn't know what happened today. Now that the princes meant to invite Phillock Thetes back, this errand really didn't want to follow.
Although Odysseus did not want to pick Philothetes back, this person was related to the success or failure of the Greek Allied Forces in the war against Troy, and Agamemnon directly gave the order.
Odysseus felt bitter in his heart, frowning: "I can bring Philothetes back, but Calcas will go with me."
"Yes." Agamemnon agreed to Odysseus' request.
"Oh, fortunately, I only abandoned Philothetes on the desert island for a few months. If it's a few years, we probably won't be able to invite it." Odysseus said mockingly.
The two left Troy by boat together, and went to the desert island to pick up the key figure-Philothetes.
Remnos Island
Odysseus and Kalkas arrived at this deserted island after a period of sea voyage. As soon as the ship docked, Odysseus said: "I hide, you and Philothetes Say."
The prophet Karkas also knew this grudge, and agreed, got off the boat, set foot on the island, and looked around, feeling in his heart: "How many months can Philothetes live on such a barren island?"
A man's voice rang from a distance, dispelling doubts.
"Who are you and what are you doing here on this desert island?"
Kalkas walked around and found a man in torn clothes walking over, and after a closer look, he recognized Philothetes.
Kalkas had to sigh with emotion for Philothetes's strong survivability, the deserted island, except that his clothes are a bit tattered, it seems to be alive and well.
"I watched you wearing Greek clothes~IndoMTL.com~Although I hate Greeks now, I still want to hear you talk."
"I am now dressed like a savage in tatters, but this is because I was abandoned here by my hateful friend Odysseus, and I am now suffering from disease."
Waiting to get closer, Philothetes exclaimed happily, "Ah, it's you, Karkas, are you here to pick me up? Please pick me up, don't let me stay here alone I’m on a terrible desert island, take me back to your hometown, from there to Eta, not far from where my father lives."
Fillock Thetes may have been alone on the desert island for too long, but now he suddenly sees a person who can talk, he still knows Kalkas, his words are endless, don’t give Kalkas Opportunity to speak.
Kalkas shook his head slightly and smiled: "Filloc Thetes, of course I will take you back. Now the Greek coalition forces have encountered difficulties in conquering Troy and need your help. I hope you will go back with me and help. The Greeks defeated the Trojans."
Fillock Thetes shook his head, showing that he didn't want to agree to Karkas' request.
"Philokthetes, now the Trojans have an invulnerable ally, calling Kuknos, the gods said, only you can defeat him, you must go back with me and help us defeat him."
"Karkas, you don’t know how hard I have been on this desert island. I limped to fetch water from the spring and cut wood in the woods. I was starving here, and it’s all The sins of Odysseus and Atreus’ sons, I am not willing to help them."
"If you came to pick me up for their business, then I would rather live this hard life on this deserted island without anyone."
Philoke Thetes said firmly, and seemed to hate Odysseus deeply.
