Chapter 605: The Sin of Agamemnon
When Thetis and her sister were stunned when they heard Agamemnon blame the blame on Zeus, the goddess of fate and vengeance, they were stunned and a little unbelievable that Agamemnon said these words in full view of the public.
Although thetis was sad in his heart, he still thought: "Agamemnon, although my son has not lived much, your life is not much."
"How can you put your sin on the gods and show your innocence?"
Agamemnon digs his own grave, and all the gods will feel disgusted.
"Now, you are the commander, and the gods will not do anything to you, but when you are no longer the commander, you will be punished, and I have seen your death."
Agamemnon's words are not suitable for saying them directly at any time. They can only say that in order to clear their own faults and to make Achilles more satisfied, they have spoken without saying anything.
Achilles heard that Agamemnon wanted to give gifts, but he did not agree or object. His current thoughts were actually just to avenge his good friend Paltrox, and he no longer cared about Agamemnon's gifts. He replied: "Son of Atreus, whether you give me the gifts is up to you. According to your conscience, I am more eager to fight on the battlefield."
"Only by killing Hector can my friend be buried with decent burial."
Cunning Odysseus has been observing the development of the situation. He knew that this war could not be without Achilles, and Agamemnon's role was irreplaceable. He immediately stood up and suggested: "Achilles, please give everyone some time to let everyone have the funerals of heroes and soldiers. Agamemnon can send gifts at this time and invite you to a grand banquet in the tent."
What Odysseus said was reasonable and it was indeed necessary to arrange the funerals of these heroes and soldiers.
It turned out that the bodies of these heroes and soldiers were detained, and there was no way. Now Prince Paris has cleanly sorted it back. If it is not buried first, in the eyes of others, he would not have any outsider's care to treat his own corpses.
"You're right, Odysseus."
Agamemnon fully affirmed Odysseus's words. Odysseus has always stood on his own side. Whenever there was something wrong, Odysseus would give advice or look for an opportunity to solve the problem, so he always regarded Odysseus as his right-hand man.
Agamemnon whispered: "Greeks, you think that the Trojans have asked for truce and burial, and it can be seen that the Trojans have felt the threat of perishment!"
"Find out a bull, first offer sacrifices to the great Zeus, then continue the funeral, and let the soldiers help, cut down trees and dig the graves."
Everyone agreed, so Agamemnon arranged for soldiers to go to the forest to cut down trees, pick up firewood, and then put them together to pile them into firewood. Ordinary citizens were cremated collectively and buried collectively, which was relatively safe.
But heroes and princes not only need cremation, but also grand funerals. In order to allow the dead to rest in peace, they must be buried, and the souls cannot enter the territory of Hades.
However, in order to take out the ashes and hand them over to the children of the fallen people when they return to China, the remains are put into a box made of gold and silver for easier removal in the future.
After giving all this, Agamemnon looked at Achilles and said, "A brave Achilles, you can personally select a group of strong young men from the sergeants and let them carry gifts on my boat."
Almost all of Agamemnon's spoils were placed on the warship. After the last time the barracks were breached, his spoils would not be placed in the barracks. If the Trojans broke through the camp again, the spoils would be lost.
Agamemnon arranged a group of people to build an altar and offer sacrifices to the gods. As long as there are heroes who need to be buried, an altar must be arranged to offer sacrifices to the gods.
In this way, the hero's soul can be guaranteed.
After saying that, he said to his messenger: "Taltipios, go and get a bull, we just said that we will sacrifice to Zeus and Apollo."
Although Agamemnon had just pushed the blame to Zeus, the goddess of fate and vengeance, it was a subconscious and he would not forget the sacrifices to the gods.
The messenger Taltipios quickly followed Agamemnon's instructions and soon led a bull.
The bull has lost some weight due to the fright of war and is not as fat as he was just raised here, but this does not affect the sacrifice to the gods.
On the temporary altar, the boar was slaughtered by the army priests and sacrificed to Zeus and Apollo, but no one could use it, but this did not attract much attention.
It is normal because the gods are not used.
Only the Greek prophet Carcas looked at him and shook his head, thinking to himself: "Son of Atreus, what were you talking about just now?"
"Although they are descendants of the great Zeus, the sins of the Tantalus family are so great. Even you have committed new sins. If you were not the commander of the Greek army, God would have been condemned?"
Agamemnon was a member of the Tantalus family. Tantalus was the son of Zeus. At first, he was very favored by the gods. Later, Tantalus became arrogant and killed his son Peropus as food for the gods. The gods were furious, so the family obtained a spell.
The gods resurrected Peropus and gave birth to three sons, the eldest son was Atreus and Tierseus. Both brothers were jealous of the youngest brother, so they killed the little brother. This was the second spell on the Tantalus family.
Then Atreus got married and found that his wife had slept with his brother Tierseus, invited his brother to the banquet, killed his brother's son, and stewed it and served it to his brother. This was Tantalus's third spell.
Agamemnon is a member of this glorious and sinful family, and now he has sinned against the gods again.
But last time Carcas stood on Achilles' side and had offended Agamemnon, so he naturally wouldn't say it, just silent.
Soon after, the soldiers took a large number of gifts from Agamemnon's ship. These gifts were trophys that Agamemnon had treasured for a long time, including gold, bronze, agate, spices, etc.
Agamemnon looked at the gifts with a trace of flesh in his eyes, but in order to win the war, he had to contribute these things.
Agamemnon pointed to these gifts and said to Achilles: "Great hero, Achilles, this is all to make up for my fault. I hope you can accept it."
Achilles looked at Agamemnon with complicated eyes, and did not embarrass him, saying, "I feel your feelings, my son of Atreus, I will accept your gifts, completely forget the unhappiness of the past, and jointly build a powerful Greek coalition."
Achilles's words undoubtedly made Agamen very happy. He made all these concessions just to put down his previous hatred and re-enter the war against the Trojans?
Now that Agamemnon heard Achilles say this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The dialogue between Agamemnon and Achilles made it clear to those around them that the Greeks would usher in a new era, and the contradiction between the commander and the powerful hero had been temporarily resolved.
Faced with the situation where the Greeks were united and shared the same hatred of the enemy, the Trojans would not be able to resist.
"Let's welcome the return of Achilles, the greatest hero of Greece, with the warmest cheers."
"We are united and I promise that we will never suffer the previous setbacks again. We will definitely let the despicable Trojans understand that the great Greeks are invincible. Even if he sometimes falls into a bad state, he will definitely be able to come out quickly and defeat all enemies."
"The Greeks will win." Everyone cheered and shouted, for the return of Achilles and for the upcoming victory.
Since the matter has been discussed, everyone said goodbye and left.
Achilles brought the corpse bed back, and Patroclus lay quietly on it as if he was asleep.
Achilles looked at it for a long time before saying to the invisible Thetis: "Mother, when I look at Patroclus's body, my heart is about to be broken. I have decided to kill Hector."
Now that killing Hector has become an obsession in Achilles's heart, Hector must be killed.
"But the armor God gave to our family could have invincible me, but now he has seized it for Hector, and I need new armor now."
Achilles knew that without good armor, it was difficult to defeat Hector. After all, that set of armor was made of gods and was difficult to break.
Only by asking the god mother Thetis to obtain armor that is comparable to that pair of armor, so that he can have the confidence to defeat Hector on the battlefield and avenge Paltrowroth.
"My poor child."
Thetis was sad in her heart. She knew that Achilles killed Hector and was counting down on her life. But when she saw Achilles's will, she knew that it would be useless to persuade him. This was the arrangement of fate.
"At the sunrise on the third morning, I will send you weapons and armor forged by Hephaestus."
"But you have to remember that you must not fight until I come back."
Thetis instructed Achilles that although Achilles, who did not have God's armor and weapons, although he was very powerful, he might not be the opponent of Hector, who was wearing God's armor and holding God's weapons.
"I will, mother." Achilles said.
After Thetis finished speaking, she called her sisters to sink back into the sea, while she herself flew to the Holy Mountain of Olympus to find Hephaestus, the god of artisans.
Without saying this, Pei Ziyun, who returned to Troy, felt that there was no god watching at this time, and shouted: "System!"
A plum blossom appears in front of me quickly and quickly enlarges, changing into a data box with a faint sense of light.
"Hero Bloodline: Fifth Level (6%)"
"Task: Return to Paltrowroth's corpse, exchange the bodies of the heroes who fell into battle, and give each other a decent funeral (completed)"
Pei Ziyun looked at the system and pondered: "I killed seven heroes in front and arrived at the middle of the eighth level. I killed four more heroes yesterday, and at least I could reach the ninth level."
"I've surpassed Hector."
He asked now: "How many levels of Achilles."
"Ten layers."
"Tenth level? You just have to enter the realm of God just a little bit? No wonder you have to kill him." Pei Ziyun thought, pressed the task heavily: "There is another one more destiny point, now it's 21 o'clock, and it's only 4 o'clock before I promulgate the oracle. Only when I promulgate this oracle can I be legally promoted."
