Chapter 77: Gods and Gods Start a War
After the Greeks conquered the city-states along the coast of the Asia Minor Peninsula, the princes who stayed to rule here would definitely claim that they were illegitimate children born to their mothers and Apollo - or that their ancestors were illegitimate children of Apollo, to facilitate their rule over the people of Asia Minor who worship Apollo.
If the Trojan War had ended, it would not matter if Palamedes claimed to be Apollo's illegitimate son, let alone Chryses, the high priest who was close to Apollo.
Now the Trojan War has just begun, and Palamedes' behavior is not only not foresighted wisdom, but also self-righteous stupidity.
When Palamedes returned to the coalition camp from the Temple of Apollo in Mysia, what awaited him was not the warm welcome of his comrades, but a trial reached by consensus among the princes of the coalition.
When he was tied up and tortured, Palamedes already knew that his death was inevitable, and he could only helplessly leave his last words.
"Friends! You are going to kill a learned and innocent man, because I have no intention of betraying you, but unfortunately you no longer believe anything I say."
When the soldiers threw stones at Palamedes, Odysseus, the king of Intace, personally lifted a huge stone and hit Palamedes on the head.
After Palamedes fell, Odysseus looked at his body with mixed feelings, not knowing whether he killed him out of resentment or jealousy.
After Agamemnon used Palamedes to make an example of the princes and let them know the fate of traitors, he ordered the coalition forces to attack Troy the next day.
The Scamander River outside Troy.
The princes of the coalition led their soldiers to form a battle array on the west bank of the Scamander River and issued an invitation to the Trojans.
Originally, the Trojans did not want to leave the protection of the city walls and fight the coalition forces head-on.
But the gods Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Ares, and Leto who supported the Trojans came, giving the Trojans great courage.
The Trojan commander Hector and deputy commander Pandarus led the soldiers to the outside of the city and assembled on the east bank of the Scamander River.
As the armies of both sides approached each other, the gods Pallas Athena, Hera, Poseidon, Hermes, and Hephaestus who supported the coalition also confronted the gods Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Aphrodite, Leto, and the Scamander River God who supported the Trojans.
"Zeus, we finally meet."
Looking at Poseidon, the sea king holding a trident, Apollo said with an unhappy expression.
"I heard that the Mycenaeans who worship you now claim that I am your son, and my mother goddess Leto is your sixth wife."
"Hahahaha——"
Poseidon said with a heroic smile.
"Apollo! Although I am also called Zeus of the Sea, my identity is Poseidon, the Sea King, not your father Zeus. Your father is Zeus - this is the truth! When the Greek coalition conquers the Trojans, whether you like it or not, you will kneel before Zeus and become his son, and your mother will become Zeus' sixth wife."
"Zeus! You said you are not Zeus, so where is the real Zeus?"
"He is sitting on Mount Ida, dominating the outcome of this war."
After hearing Poseidon's answer, Apollo turned his head and looked at Mount Ida. Sure enough, he saw a man wearing a golden robe and shining golden hair sitting on Mount Ida. It was Agamemnon, the commander-in-chief of the coalition.
"So that's it - your avatar stays away from the battlefield, and then you fight me as Poseidon."
"I've already said it, don't treat me as Zeus just because I'm Zeus of the Sea."
"What's the difference between treating you as Zeus and Poseidon? You are two in one - gods with the same origin, and you share the same fate!"
"I refute you because you made an ignorant mistake. Zeus, Poseidon, Hades - we are a trinity of gods with the same origin. The people of Asia Minor and the Greeks have frequent maritime trade, and you don't even know the existence of the underworld Zeus - Hades?"
"I know that my biggest enemy is Zeus - just like the Trojans know that their biggest enemy is Agamemnon, that's enough."
At this point, Apollo bent his bow and aimed his plague arrow at Poseidon and said.
"Zeus! The war of mankind has begun, and the war of our gods will also begin!"
Swoosh!
The arrow of plague shot by Apollo at Poseidon was like a signal to ignite the war between the gods of both sides.
Pallas Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, and Ares, the god of war, fought with their spears and blades. Artemis, the goddess of hunting, aimed her bow and arrow at Hera, the goddess of crowns. Leto, the goddess of black robes, confronted Hermes, the messenger of the gods. Hephaestus, the god of fire, fought with Scamander, the god of the river.
Because there were no gods fighting with her, Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, landed on the battlefield to help the Trojans.
Luo Yin walked on the battlefield with a divine spear in his hand, and did not take the initiative to attack the Trojans.
After all, Luo Yin now has a powerful divine power that surpasses Apollo, and Luo Yin really can't lose face to take the initiative to challenge the human heroes among the Trojans.
Although Luo Yin did not have the idea of taking the initiative to challenge the Trojans, when Luo Yin walked to the middle of the battlefield, Aeneas took the initiative to come to Luo Yin and said.
"Achilles, I can feel the presence of the gods on the battlefield now. If any of the gods side with the Trojans, my spear blade will be able to damage your invulnerable body."
"Foolish Aeneas!"
Luo Yin raised the divine spear in his hand and said.
"The existence of gods gives you the courage to challenge me. Fate is really cruel to you. If you dare to throw your spear at me, my divine spear will pierce your heart."
"Your threats can't scare me, so let's use our war spears to decide the winner!"
After saying that, Aeneas threw his spear at Luo Yin.
Luo Yin also threw his divine spear at Aeneas.
There was a muffled bang!
After Aeneas's spear hit Luo Yin, it was bounced to the ground by Luo Yin's body.
The next moment!
Luo Yin's divine spear penetrated the shield raised by Aeneas.
Just when the divine spear was about to penetrate Aeneas's body, the goddess Aphrodite came to Aeneas and grabbed Luo Yin's divine spear with her right hand. The blade of the divine spear was not injured. Aeneas's body.
After saving his life from the edge of death, Aeneas did not dare to fight Luo Yin again, and immediately turned around and fled back to Troy City.
"Aphrodite——"
Seeing Aphrodite saving Aeneas who was destined to die, Luo Yin said to her angrily.
"I'm worried that I don't have an opponent who can challenge me. You saved my prey Aeneas, so you can be my opponent instead of Aeneas! I also want to meet you, who is related to Sumerian mythology. The Eastern goddess Yinshtar, the Queen of the Gods, has a deep connection with her. How powerful is her divine power?"
After saying that, Luo Yin knocked away the soldiers blocking the way and rushed towards Aphrodite.
"Can you see me?"
Seeing Luo Yin rushing towards her location, Aphrodite frowned and said.
"Which god gave you the wisdom to see the gods? Achilles, the demigod son of the ocean goddess Thetis, don't be crazy enough to challenge the gods. Your opponent is a human being like you. ”
After saying that, Aphrodite spread out a pair of white wings of the sky god and wanted to fly away from the battlefield.
