Chapter 50: Iphigenia, the Fiancée Who Came From Heaven
Eubia is the second largest island in the Aegean Sea after Crete.
The Port of Auris is the largest port in the southern part of Eubia.
Luo Yin came to the port where two thousand warships were moored and soon found his fifty ships.
The Greek coalition consisted of one hundred princes, with an average of twenty ships and one thousand soldiers per prince.
Luo Yin had fifty ships and two thousand five hundred soldiers. His strength was far higher than the average, and he was one of the ten princes with the most soldiers in the Greek coalition.
Patroclus was already waiting on the ship with the sailors. Seeing Luo Yin's figure, Patroclus stood at the stern of the flagship and said to Luo Yin.
"Dear Achilles, now our soldiers have boarded the ship. Next, are you going to find the commander-in-chief Agamemnon and force him to sacrifice his daughter Inphigenia to the goddess of hunting?"
It was no secret that Clytemnestra brought Inphigenia to the port.
Hearing Patroclus' words, Luo Yin said with an unhappy expression.
"Patroclus, are your hands and those of the sailors just for show? If the gods don't send us a favorable wind, we will slowly row to the coast of Troy."
After saying that, Troy was about to board the flagship.
At this moment, the anxious cry of a woman suddenly came.
"Achilles-Achilles-"
Troy stopped and turned around, and saw Clytemnestra running over with Inphigenia.
The two came to Troy, and Clytemnestra knelt on the ground and hugged Troy's knees and begged.
"Son of the goddess, please save me, save my daughter! I treated you as Inphigenia's fiancé, and I put a crown on her and brought her to you. Although all this is Agamemnon's lie, I am still willing as a mother to let you become Inphigenia's husband. Please reach out to us and save my daughter. As long as I get your help, my daughter can survive."
Luo Yin did not respond to Clytemnestra immediately, but looked at Inphigenia first.
Inphigenia obviously has not yet accepted the fact that she has become a sacrifice, and her mind is a little dazed.
After looking at Luo Yin, she immediately lowered her head shyly, maintaining the reserve of an unmarried girl.
"Although I think it's impossible... Inphigenia, do you remember the last time we met?"
Inphigenia said with doubts.
"Prince Achilles, I only saw you from a distance when you proposed to Aunt Helen. We have never met formally in the past."
"It is true!"
After confirming that Inphigenia had no memory of meeting him, Luo Yin helped Clytemnestra up and said.
"Queen! Although I am very grateful that you are willing to entrust your daughter to me, I must tell you that I have married Deindamia, the daughter of King Lycomedes of Skylos, and have a son who is one year older than Hermione. If you still want to marry Inphigenia to me, the noble Princess of Mycenae can only become my concubine."
Hearing Luo Yin's words, Clytemnestra, who had just stood up, immediately felt dark in front of her eyes.
Mycenae is the overlord of the Peloponnese Peninsula, the King of Mycenae is the king of the kings of Greece, and the princess of Mycenae is the noblest princess in the Aegean world.
As the noblest Mycenae princess, Inphigenia certainly cannot be Luo Yin's concubine.
Clytemnestra was shaken for only a moment, and then she realized that the most important thing at this time was to use Loyin to save Inphigenia.
As for Loyin's wife Deyin Damia——
Clytemnestra believed that she could use her own means to make Deyin Damia give up her wife's position and become a concubine.
"Achilles! As long as you are willing to save Inphigenia, even if you already have a wife, I am willing to marry my daughter to you."
Loyin certainly knew that even if he did not intervene, Inphigenia would not sacrifice her life to the hunting goddess Artemis as a sacrifice, but would only be taken to the Temple of Artemis on the Tauris Peninsula by Artemis to serve as her priestess.
Twenty years later, when Inphigenia became a 35-year-old old girl, his brother Orestes would follow the oracle to go to the Tauris Peninsula and bring her and the statue of Artemis to Athens.
But as a priestess, she never married and dedicated her life to Artemis, which was actually more unfortunate than showing her life as a sacrifice.
Because she was deprived of the happiness of being a wife and mother by Artemis.
Just when Luo Yin was hesitating whether to save Inphigenia, Luo Yin suddenly found that Patroclus was looking at Inphigenia with the eyes of seeing a rival in love.
This stupid guy - it's your problem that you like men.
If you cause others to misunderstand and make others mistakenly think that I am in love with you, I will be troubled.
Sensing Luo Yin's gaze, Patroclus lowered his head in grievance, as if he was a wife who saw his husband cheating.
Luo Yin withdrew his gaze from Patroclus, turned around and saw Odysseus and Calchas rushing towards the port with a group of soldiers.
Odysseus and Calchas approached with the noisy soldiers, which made Clytemnestra feel ominous. She immediately took Inphigenia and hid behind Luo Yin.
Bringing the soldiers to Luo Yin, Odysseus stopped and said.
"Achilles! We heard that you fell in love with the beauty of Princess Inphigenia and wanted to betray all the Greeks and help Inphigenia escape the fate of being a sacrifice? My dear friend, I must stop you from doing anything like everything Crazy things about Greek enemies.”
The seer Calchas also spoke to Clytemnestra.
"Dear Queen! It is your husband Agamemnon who has called us all here. It is your husband Agamemnon who offended the goddess of the hunt and prevented us from leaving the port. If your husband Agamemnon does not want to Obey the oracle and he will bear the wrath of us all."
Although Agamemnon was the commander-in-chief of the Greek coalition, he could not make enemies of everyone in the Greek coalition.
Once the coalition forces really attack Agamemnon, not only Agamemnon, but also Agamemnon's wife and children will be destroyed.
The clever Inphigenia understood Calchas's threat and immediately walked up to Odysseus and Calchas and said.
"Please don't embarrass my mother and the noble and brave Achilles! If the goddess Artemis asks me to sacrifice my life, I am willing to obey the oracle and become a sacrifice."
After saying that, Inphigenia prepared to leave with Odysseus and Calchas.
Luo Yin immediately put his left hand around her waist, held her in his arms and said.
"Inphigenia! Since your father and mother say that I am your fiancé, then you belong to me. Even the gods cannot take you away from me without my consent."
Leaning in Luo Yin's arms, Yin Figenia looked up at Luo Yin's face in surprise, her eyes a little dazed for a moment.
