Achilles didn't come back for dinner. The meeting lasted until late at night. I waited at the door to wipe my javelin and sword. I was getting used to life on the battlefield.
I asked Momenem to boil the water, and I found my clothes and placed them on the bed. It didn't take long for Achilles to return. His face was livid. He threw the scepter into the corner as soon as he entered the door, and bent down to splash the cold water on his face. I went forward to take off his armor and pressed him into the bath without saying a word. Achilles stared blankly at the ceiling.
I also took off my clothes and walked in. I wiped his back and washed his hair. There was a wound on his back. I leaned over and kissed him. I slid down all the way and moved up to his neck. I kissed his earlobe and nibbled on it. Seeing that he didn't have any reaction, I couldn't help but feel a little defeated. Why did I have such a big reaction every time he played with me?
She turned around and pressed him under her. She lowered her head and sucked on the cherry blossom on her chest. Achilles 'breathing quickened. She looked up and saw his beautiful red lips. She kissed him without restraint.
I kissed him until I was about to die. I let go of Achilles and looked at him. His eyes were misty. He looked at me for a long time in confusion and asked,"Patroclus, what are you doing?”
I was so angry that I dragged him out." Achilles, you're a f * cking bastard!”I lowered my head and buried it between his legs. Achilles looked at me in shock.
After the climax, I was exhausted and curled up in Achilles 'arms. Tiredly, I asked him,""Achilles, why are you fighting?”
"I don't have a specific purpose. It's better to say that this is a kind of life, and fighting is our entire life.”Achilles stroked my hair and said," I don't have the ambition of Agamemnon to rule the world. I just feel like there's a mission waiting for me to complete. It keeps calling me. It's a strange feeling. I can't help it. Patroclus, do you feel that way?"”
I smiled." I didn't have it before. After being by your side, this feeling became stronger and stronger. It made me unable to escape.”
Achilles laughed too." You're saying strange things again. Weren't you always by my side?"”
I hugged him tightly and nodded." Yes, yes. Go to sleep. I'm tired."”
At noon the next day, Austin's herald, Olybasto, dumped his warship onto the ship. He was looking at the military map on the table when he looked up at me. He smiled at the sun and said,"Come in. Have you eaten?"
I nodded and took out the sheepskin scroll from my pocket and unfolded it in front of him."I've summarized yesterday's battle. See if there's anything wrong.”As if he had expected that I would have done it, Austin took it and looked at it seriously.
Half an hour later, he looked up at me and said," Excellent, Patroclus. I didn't expect you to summarize it in such detail. There are indeed problems with military orders. I will submit the matter of changing the military rules to the elders for discussion, but I don't know if it is feasible to reorganize the army.”
I took a sip of water and said," The individual combat ability is excellent, but the individual is too strong. There is no teamwork at all. You saw how chaotic yesterday's battle was. We had to form a square formation. The heavy soldiers and cavalry did not move. The archers and archers should change their attacking position and time. We still have to think about the specifics. Also, Austin, can you give me ten prisoners of war? I have an idea that I want to try and see if it can change our current way of fighting.”
Austin readily agreed and didn't ask what he was thinking. He said that he would give me a special tent. This morning, I casually mentioned this to Achilles. He didn't object and only told me to be careful and not to indulge the prisoners too much.
To be honest, I didn't know what to do either. I just saw the soldiers bending down to peel off the armor of the dead during the battle and during the retreat yesterday. A thought flashed through my mind.
"Return?" Achilles took the sword and asked me.
The day after I became a decanus, Achilles gave me a short sword. I asked the blacksmith to carve a word on the hilt.
Nodding, he continued to chisel wood. Two days ago, he went to the lumber quarry to ask for a few cedar wood, planning to build a room for Little Nine.
Achilles squatted down and held my hand. I looked up and asked,"What's wrong?"
"Why this word?" he said, looking into my eyes.
I smiled. I thought of it at the last minute."
Achilles looked deeply into my eyes, searching for something. I took the opportunity to bite his hand and said with a smile,"What are you doing? Isn't it just a word? If you don't like it, why don't we change it? Why don't you carve your name on it?”
Achilles returned the sword to me and stood up. It's not bad for me to be your home."
I was stunned. I didn't know what he was thinking.
Divine Nine was lying lazily at the door, basking in the sun.
Austin gave me ten prisoners of war, all of whom were of good quality. After forming a simple team, I basically didn't need to worry about them and could practice on my own. I was currently in the stage of familiarizing myself with them, so I was happy to be free. Moreover, there was also the daily training of the Dragon Fang Warrior. Achilles said that my sword skills were becoming more and more mature and sharp.
At dusk, when he had nothing to do, he took Little Nine out for a walk. When he passed by Austin's tent, he saw Palamedes teaching a lesson with a whip. It was a slave.
He quickly stepped forward to stop the whip and asked," What's wrong? You don't beat people up like this. What did this kid do?"”
Paramedes was about to get angry when he was stopped by me. Austin walked out of the tent, dressed in a loose Ionian sleeveless robe. His gaze swept across us and landed on the slaves who were curled up on the ground. He smiled and said,"Palamedes, did my attendant offend you?”
Palamedes pushed me away and looked coldly at the slave."Don't look where you're going, Austin. The people of Ithacs have no manners.”
Austin still smiled and said," I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Why don't I leave him to you?"”
Palamedes sneered, tidied his clothes, turned around, and said,""No need, I don't have the time to train your servants.”After saying that, he left arrogantly without looking back.
I couldn't help but swallow my saliva. What kind of attitude was this? You bullied his slave, yet Austin didn't give you any face. Instead, you were so arrogant.
I pursed my lips and bent down to help the person up. I asked,"How is it? Is your injury serious?"
The slave shook his head vigorously and knelt in front of Austin with a thud. He choked and said,""I'm sorry, Master. Master, please punish me."
" Be careful in the future," Austin said without any expression." Someone can save you today, but there won't be a scapegoat tomorrow." Go do your work."
The man nodded submissively and got up to leave.
Austin looked at me and smiled.”
I kicked the listless Little Nine and said,""Well, I'm going to walk the dog."
"Roar!"
"Wow! What are you doing?"
Divine Nine suddenly roared in high spirits and pounced on me to bite my leg, warning me with a low growl.
Austin shook his head helplessly and said,"" It's no wonder that the descendant of Nemoya is angry when you call him that. Be careful not to go too far. Recently, the martial law code has been changed.”
I nodded. Seeing him turn around, I thought about it and called out to him,"Um, Paramedes, are you guys alright?”We can't go against each other!
Austin smiled mysteriously and said,""The same sky cannot contain two eagles. Patroclus, what do you think?”
I expressed my understanding, but I still didn't know what he was thinking. I led Divine Nine along the coast. Sometimes, I realized that people were too superficial when interacting with each other, especially when you wanted to figure out the other party's thoughts. You would find that the intersection between them was so weak.
The sea waves surged, seagulls spread their wings and soared in the sky. The sea breeze blew away my hair. I brought Little Nine away from the battle ship camp. The Plains of Troy was on the left, and the sea was on the right. I found a reef to sit down and faced the sea to enjoy the sunset. The white waves under my feet were rolling, and I held Little Nine in my arms.
When the last trace of red in the sky dissipated and the gray curtain fell, I stood up and stretched. I looked at Divine Nine and said,"It's time to go back."
Little Nine licked its front paws and didn't say anything. It turned around before me.
I turned my head to look at my surroundings. In the distance, the withered trees and weeds were charred yellow, and the barren plains were covered in sand. Only then did I remember that it had been about five to six months since I returned. It was already midwinter, and everything was withered. The wind was already cold.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a lonely temple on a small hill on the plains opposite him. There were no trees around it, and it looked small but thin. It seemed that he had never seen it before. He suddenly remembered that divination had been popular in the army recently. He heard that Karkas and a person called Amphilox had built a temple everywhere. They had built a nest by the sea, the plains, and even under the walls of Troy. However, because of the frequent wars, it was destroyed in a few days.
I thought about what Xantos hadn't finished talking about in Troy. I went to ask him again, but he denied it and said that he wouldn't talk to me anymore. I threatened him and tried to please him. He told Achilles about it, and I didn't dare to ask anymore.
Thinking about it, I started walking towards it. Little Nine had already walked a long way. It turned around and looked at me walking in the opposite direction. It roared angrily. I turned around and looked at it, saying,"I have something to do. You can go back first."
The kid didn't say a word and turned around to catch up.
"Alright, simple and crude." I raised my head and looked at the empty Divine Manifestation in front of me. The front hall was supported by five huge stone pillars. The embossed on the lintel were rough but magnificent. It was probably the story of the battle between the Titans. The gods were fighting against the Titan God. I didn't really appreciate the carvings. I just felt that the characters were quite terrifying.
"How is it, little brother? Gods are great, aren't they? Aren't they worthy of respect? Haha, we mortals are so lowly.”A rough voice suddenly appeared behind me, giving me a fright. I jumped up and assumed a defensive posture. Big Ai said that when encountering unexpected things, the first thing to do was to protect my heart and head. So at this moment, I was fully prepared to defend against the big man wearing an olive branch crown in front of me.
The man was tall and strong, with wrinkles all over his face and the marks of kindness and hardship. I once heard Achilles say that Amphilox was the son of the great prophet, Amphilox. He had participated in the Seven Generals 'attack on Thebes, and his ability to predict was on par with Karkas. The Divine Revelation Center was built by these two people from scratch. Now, looking at this person dressed in a sacrificial robe, with a solemn expression and a fiery aura, he was most likely the legendary Amphilox.
In the darkness, after he saw me clearly, he also put down his priest's staff and said,""What are you doing here? This is not a place to play hide and seek.”
I was furious. Do I look like a child? Was it similar?
So he relaxed his posture, straightened his back, and said in a grumpy voice,"I'm here for divination!"
Amphilox approached and looked me up and down under the light of the torch in the temple."Your butt is still bruised, right? Why? Are you homesick?”
I, I will endure!
Little Nine said,"You're really a failure!"”
I want to cry but no tears come out. Who did I offend?
Amphilox didn't care about my expression and walked into the oracle. I followed him in. To be honest, I was very curious.
A fiendish door god at the door almost scared me to death. I saw his face full of stubble, his tiger eyes wide open, looking down majestically, holding a red tassel spear, armor clanging, very terrifying.
Even Little Nine could not help but roar in a low voice.
Walking in, the statues of gods in various postures stood tall above the altar. All of them were lifelike. The majesty of Zeus, the stern rationality of Apollo, the madness of the God of Wine, the fierceness of the God of War, the agility and lightness of Hermes, the grace of Hera, the charm of Aphrodite, the heroic bearing of the goddess Athena, the seriousness of Artemis, the kindness of Demeter, the gloominess of Hades, and the boldness and brutality of Poseidon. The carving techniques were wild and unruly, and they enjoyed themselves freely like flowing clouds. It was majestic and exquisite. He had to praise it for being ancient Greece. No matter what it was, it contained a profound cultural heritage.
Amphilox first washed his hands in the golden basin beside the altar, poured wine on the ground, and then sat on the futon. Under the flickering fire, his broad face was as majestic as the God of Thunder. "Young man, speak of the desire in your heart. I will convey the will of God. Please do not lie in front of God.”
I was instantly filled with awe. I walked over and lowered my head piously, saying,"Honorable priest, messenger of the gods, great prophet, please tell me what caused the destruction of our powerful enemies, the brave and fearless Trojans and the people of Daldaros?”
Amphilox's expression froze as he stared at me in shock. I stared straight into his eyes and insisted,"Priestess, you already know the reason for the destruction of Troy, right? Please tell me.”
It took a while for Androcles to recover from his shock. He said slowly,""Please tell me your name, young man.”
"Patroclus, Achilles 'closest comrade.”She couldn't help but laugh at herself. It seemed that she had never fought side by side with him, right?
"Ding!"
The bell on the priest's staff rang, and Amphilox stood up and walked towards me. He was very tall and stood in front of me, causing me to have no choice but to look up. I saw a pair of eyes that were as vast as the sky, deep but smooth as a mirror.
The sacred wooden statues around them were twisted and deformed in the flickering flames, becoming terrifying.
" Achilles 'participation in the war, the death of the little prince of Troy, the destruction of the tomb of the former king Laomedon, the theft of the statue of Athena protecting the city, you, Patroclus' death, and the death of Achilles. God has only told me this much so far." Anfilox didn't waste any time and reported it to me.
I was calm after listening. Sure enough, no one could escape this disaster, but," May I ask, who is the little prince of Troy you're talking about?”
Anfilox turned around and sat back down on the futon. He placed his cane beside him and closed his eyes, no longer answering my questions.
I stepped forward and wanted to ask further, but two hunchbacked people walked out from behind the altar. They had humble and cold expressions. One of them quietly stood in front of Androcles, while the other held a clay pot and lowered his head, not looking at me.
I was stunned. What is this?
Sorry, it's going to be even slower here. If you're interested, you can go to Jinjiang to watch it. It's already the next chapter there. I have to make it clear that this is a purely romantic story, so there might not be any exciting fights or anything like that. Hehe, I don't seem to be good at writing these things.
