"Achilles is busy killing enemies on the battlefield, so it's understandable that he can't take care of cousin.”Qiu's words came from the top of the cabin. I shivered and looked over. The man was leaning against the throne and looking at me with ill intentions.
She turned her head and pointed at him as she asked Achilles," Who is he?”
Achilles glanced at the man casually." Our commander, Agamemnon.”
Frowning and pouting, oh, was this the famous, ambitious, cruel, tyrannical, and greedy King of Mycenae, Agamemnon? Who was it?
Agamemnon looked at my disdainful expression and his expression changed. His eyes froze, and he tightened his grip on the wine glass in his hand. He continued to smile indifferently.
"Agamemnon, it seems that the Trojans won't take the initiative to attack anytime soon. It's best if we can speed up the construction and build a wall to protect our camp and warships.”The white-bearded old man, whom Antirocus had bowed to, stood up and said respectfully to Agamemnon.
When it came to serious business, everyone immediately straightened their expressions and sat down facing Agamemnon.
Agamemnon nodded and said," This matter is indeed urgent. Epeus, I'll leave this matter to you. Come up with a plan as soon as possible. Also, I hope that the kings can work together on defense. We'll allocate troops to form patrol guards and take turns on duty.”
A black-haired king dressed in a white Greek long-sleeved pleated short robe stood up and bowed." Please rest assured, Commander. We will be able to bring it out within two days. As for the defense, I have brought more people. How about 200 soldiers?”
The Greek army was made up of dozens of countries, each of which was independent. If they wanted to achieve great things, of course, they had to discuss it with the kings.
One after another, the kings stood up to send out their troops. Some were 100, some were 200, and some were 300. I had been paying attention to Austin. He waited for the 20 to 30 people around him to finish before he stood up and said,"I didn't bring many Ithacs with me, so I'll give you fifty.”Austin had brought twelve ships with him, and at most, he had two thousand men. Moreover, he could defeat three armies with his own wisdom, so naturally, no one would object.
Agamemnon nodded and looked at the white-haired old man. The old man seemed to respect him and asked,""What about King Nystore? How many troops is the Pylos Kingdom willing to send?”
So he was Nstor. He had participated in the Seven Generals 'attack on Thebes City and the Carydon Hunt. He was a figure on the same level as the ancestor of the young king.
Nstor stood up.
"Hey, Patroclus, do you have time after the banquet? Shall we go for a ride?”The brown-haired youth tugged at my sleeve and asked.
I looked at him in confusion." What's your name? Have I seen you before?”I looked at him and said after eating a fig.
The brown-haired young man's face was contorted in anger. He lowered his head, his shoulders trembling, and clenched his fists." Patroclus, you motherf * cker! You don't even recognize me?"”
I've been scolded enough in the past few days, so I'm sorry. I still don't have any impression of him. I looked at him and waited for an answer.
"Little Ajax, he's busy this afternoon and can't go out.”Achilles 'cold voice rang in his ears. Sigh, he had been giving me a hard time ever since I came in. He was probably still angry at me for escaping three days ago.
I put down my wine glass and sighed. I had lost my appetite. The battle a few days ago had disrupted my mood. It wasn't that I couldn't accept the situation, but that I couldn't accept their way of living. As a modern civilized person, I couldn't accept a living environment that relied on killing to survive. Why don't I discuss with Achilles and send me to the rear logistics department to wash clothes and feed horses? As long as I don't see any blood, it wouldn't be bad. Hehe, let's do that.
Just as he was feeling smug about finding a good way to escape, he turned his head and saw Achilles standing up."There aren't many people in Myrmidon. Sending a hundred people is enough.”
The way he spoke was neither awe-inspiring nor intimidating. Most of the time, he was still humble and respectful. His eyes were calm and clean, and he was wearing a blue linen robe. His muscles were tight, and his handsome face, which was bestowed by the gods, was always radiant. Looking around the cabin, he couldn't find anyone who matched him. Cough, cough, he was overthinking. It wasn't that he didn't know about Tanmei Doujin. After all, he was a practitioner himself.
Achilles suddenly lowered his head to look at me. His gentleness suddenly contained a sense of majesty. I jumped in shock, as if I had been caught peeping. I lowered my head guiltily and felt my face burning. I quickly reached for the wine. It was only then that I heard Agamemnon call my name countless times. His tone was high and angry." Patroclus, what do you think?"”
"Here!" I jumped up and steadied myself. I accidentally knocked over my wine cup and spilled the nectar on the ground. I looked around in confusion. Everyone's smiling eyes were holding back. My face turned hot again. I looked at Agamemnon and asked," Uh, Your Majesty, what did you say? I didn't hear it just now?"”I suddenly remembered that Pierre was in class with me once. He was taking advantage of me under the table and was caught by the professor. He laughed elegantly and gracefully. The female professor stopped with a screech and actually forgot about her question.
I shook my head and got distracted again. I think I have to get used to my life without him. When I came back to my senses, I happened to miss a few of Agamemnon's key words. Looking at my dumbfounded expression, he was already on the verge of collapse. He gritted his teeth and said to Achilles,"This King's ability to express himself is limited. I'd better ask Achilles to convey my intentions to him.”
Beside him, little Ajax spat out the wine and quickly lowered his head, almost falling under the table to hide his trembling shoulders.
Achilles still looked indifferent."" No need. Patroclus is not in good health recently. He is not qualified to be the leader of the 100-man army. I will arrange for someone else. Please don't worry."”
After saying that, I saw Agamemnon's face that was about to turn into a dye house. I couldn't help but praise him in my heart. There was no one else who dared to reject Agamemnon so readily except Achilles.
Wait a minute, he just said 100-man captain!
I want it! He wailed. How could he miss such an important opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune? He raised his hand in protest.
Agamemnon raised his eyebrows and said in a sour voice," Patroclus, what do you want to say?”
Achilles and the others looked at me in surprise, and Austin began to stroke his chin with a meaningful look. I stood up and cleared my throat. A thought suddenly crossed my mind. Agamemnon was not a good person, and the official position he gave me was probably not a good job. Why should I stand up for him?"Nothing. I just wanted to remind the king that there is a grape seed on your beard.”
Trembling, trembling, and his lips turning purple, Agamemnon had apparently reached his limit. His majestic and tall body was trembling from the touch, and his big eyes seemed to be about to pop out. The atmosphere in the cabin was frozen to zero degrees.
Finally, little Ajax couldn't hold it in anymore. He threw his head back and laughed." Hahaha, haha, little Padt is so interesting. I, I can't help it. Agamemnon, I'm sorry. I really didn't mean it."”Tears rolled down his face, and he fell to the ground with a thud. He rolled around and laughed.
Most of the other kings in the cabin were either holding back their laughter or trying to suppress it. Even Achilles blushed.
Austin turned his head to avoid everyone's gaze, but I knew that he was also smiling. He was really dishonest.
A handsome man who looked honest and steady beside Little Ajax bent down to help him up. I had an impression of this person. I turned my head and carefully examined him. He was the one who saved me on the battlefield. The two people I saw before I was knocked unconscious by Achilles that day were him and Little Ajax. It seemed like fate had brought them together.
"Ridiculous!" A black-haired man dressed in a water-colored golden wavy robe slammed the table and stood up. He looked at me and criticized," This is the army. How dare you laugh at the king in the middle? Are you tired of living?”
I was intimidated by his imposing manner and hid behind Achilles.
Palamedes stood up and raised his glass." Diomedes, this is a celebration party. Why not have fun and relax? Why do you have to talk about business with a straight face all day?"”Everyone nodded in agreement, including Austin. I suddenly realized that I was paying too much attention to him. I quickly looked away, but he still caught me.
Ha! It turned out to be the famous Diomedes. This person was basically as famous as Austin. He was brave and resourceful, and was also an important general in the Troy War.
"That's right, that's right. Diomedes is being too serious. Please sit down. Don't let insignificant things ruin the mood of the banquet.”Agamemnon said with a fake smile. His eyes meant that he would remember this debt.
Tsk! I have Achilles to protect me. What can you do to me?
I didn't have much of an impression of how the banquet ended because I was drunk and fell asleep on the table. When I woke up, it was already past noon. The music had ended and everyone had left. The cups and plates in the cabin were a mess, and the leftovers had yet to be cleaned up. I looked up and saw my Achilles standing at the door with his back facing me. Damn it, his figure was really not covered. His shoulders were broad and strong, and his body was slender. His Greek robe was unfolded in the wind, and his blond hair was blown to the back of his head by the sea breeze.
I got up and knocked over the wine glass. My head was still dizzy. He turned around. His gentle eyes, firm and smooth facial lines, and his stalwart body complemented his noble and great soul. I thought that such a man would not be ordinary, let alone mediocre. He had so much power in his hands, and I was destined to be a chess piece dedicated to him for the rest of my life. If it was said that the stars were surrounding the moon, I was willing to be an unknown star by his side. It was just to set off his bright brilliance.
He walked in and took a silk handkerchief from the bronze iron frame beside me. He dipped it in water and wrung it dry. He came to my side and spread it on my face. The cool feeling and the gloomy air in my mind instantly dissipated. He wiped my face clean and said,"Go to the deck and get some fresh air. We still have things to do later.”
I nodded obediently and smiled at him.
He pinched my face and asked,"What are you laughing at?"”
"That's great." I said, perhaps Patroclus 'attachment to him was still lingering in my body, and that warmth lingered in my heart.
Achilles frowned and turned around.""Hurry up and go."
I walked out of the cabin, and the sea breeze blew away the confusion in my mind. My eyes suddenly opened up, and I hurried to the side of the ship to look into the distance. Under the blue sky, I could not see the end of the vast blue sea. The sky was clear and cloudless, and the sea breeze mixed with a faint smell of blood blew away the sails on the ship.
Behind him, the sound of busy piling and the sound of planing came from the beach. Some people on the sailboat in the distance were busy putting away the canvas. If the wind was a little stronger, the boat might be blown away. Although there were underwater fences around the warship, it could affect the whole body.
I lay on the side of the ship and looked at the sparkling sea. Under the brilliant light, I could see the white figure of the jellyfish floating. The Wheel of Fate had begun to spin, and I could no longer avoid it. In front of me was a painting of a great hero that had yet to be drawn. Did I have the ability not to tarnish it? This question was too difficult to answer. I didn't want to think about my inevitable death. If it was the arrangement of the gods, I didn't think I had the ability to escape. Even if it wasn't, what right did I have to rewrite history? Besides, I was originally on the winner's side. I couldn't be happier!
"Patroclus."
When I heard Achilles 'voice, I turned around and realized that his expression was so melancholic and painful. He untied the sword and pulled it out. I was blinded by the light on the copper sword's blade. I lowered my head and heard him say in a daze,"We haven't practiced swordsmanship for a long time."
I instinctively took a step back and looked at him in a panic. To be honest, I was really afraid that he would expose me. Even if I didn't expose him, if he insisted on competing with me, he would definitely give himself away. What should I do? What should I do? Tell him that my injuries haven't recovered yet and that I'm not in the mood today.
Noticing the change in my expression, he stepped forward and pressed his head against my forehead." What's wrong? Are you afraid, my Patroclus? What happened? Why do you have such a weak aura? Where is your strong competitive spirit?"”
I held my breath and didn't dare to answer. Fortunately, he didn't force me further. I sheathed my sword, turned around, and said indifferently,"Follow me. They should be ready.”
I didn't ask what he was prepared for. I just followed him down the deck.
Thinking about how he had been in Troy for almost a week, it was not easy to observe this place. It was quiet and peaceful. The smooth surface of the sea could not see Poseidon's violent figure. Perhaps his trident had not reached this place yet. It was unknown what kind of people such a beautiful place had raised, what kind of mind. He suddenly wanted to see the distant wall of the city, whether it was as quiet and peaceful as the sea at this moment.
I was brought to a temporary fence in the Skommenter Plains. There were hundreds of soldiers holding spears and wearing heavy armor. I could tell that they were all Thesari soldiers. Their long tassels fluttered, and all of them had serious expressions. They looked at me and Achilles with sharp eyes like wild wolves and lone eagles.
Little Ajax and another person dressed like a general were also present. It was that loyal, honest, and taciturn handsome warrior. I realized that the two of them were inseparable. The story of Troy, which I didn't have much of an impression of, flashed through my mind. It should be Great Ajax. Because the two of them had the same name, the Greek gave them different names to distinguish them. It was him. In addition, Austin was also there, and the king who sternly reprimanded me this morning was also there. His name was Diomedes, right? I remember you!
When we got closer, we saw more than a hundred soldiers surrounding a dozen prisoners of war. Those prisoners of war were covered in wounds and were naked. Of course, there was a loincloth under them and they were all shackled. They all looked like they had suffered and were listless. Their strong bodies were sweating under the white sunlight on the Greek beach. When they saw us coming, some of them looked up, while others simply hung their heads and resigned themselves to fate.
I had a bad feeling about this. Before I could think about it, Little Ajax pounced on me." Little Padt!”
Little Padt! Why did it sound so mushy? It sounded like he was calling a puppy's name. I pulled his hand away in displeasure and said seriously,"My name is Patroclus.”
"Don't be so formal. I call you that because I like you.”You're neither dead nor alive. The brat won't let me go.
I rolled my eyes and said,"Do I know you that well?"”
" Although little Ajax is a little frivolous, he has no ill intentions. Patroclus, don't mind him.”Perhaps it was because my rejection was too obvious, but even the taciturn Great Ajax spoke. His voice was low and tactful, like the fallen notes of a cello. It surged in my heart and was especially comfortable. Moreover, he was beautiful and pleasing to the eye. Therefore, I nodded happily and did not struggle anymore.
Austin looked at me meaningfully and smiled kindly.
I coughed in embarrassment and pulled little Ajax away."" Don't you have bones? Stand properly!"
Achilles had already arranged for the captives to be taken into the fence. He removed the shackles and turned around to throw the sword to me. I caught it in my hand. Before I could understand what was going on, I heard him say,"Kill them!" There was no room for negotiation.
"Impossible!" I also quickly and decisively denied him. I didn't think about it, but as a modern person, my instinctive thinking made me answer reflexively.
