Chapter 12 Truce
"The hero Ajax the Younger died in battle! He was killed by Paris!"
The news that little Ajax died in battle spread quickly throughout the battlefield like a plague. The morale of the Greek coalition forces, which was already in poor condition, fell directly to the bottom. Many heroes even began to take the lead in escaping.
As the top hero in Greece, little Ajax is definitely one of the small group with the ceiling of combat power. He died here, and the others are naturally even more frightened.
There is no such thing as fighting to the death in Greek tradition. In the face of danger, everyone's first thought is to save their lives.
After killing little Ajax, a flash of excitement flashed in Raven's eyes. He took a deep breath and prepared to hunt the next target.
At this time, the battle between Ajax and Hector attracted Raven's attention. He raised the dagger in his hand and Raven was ready to support Hector.
Mount Olympus.
Looking at little Ajax who died in battle, the gods had different expressions. The Greek gods all looked extremely ugly, while the Trojan gods looked happy, especially Aphrodite, the goddess of love, who left and returned with a look on her face.
His smile was extremely bright.
"Three goddesses of destiny, what's going on?" Zeus suddenly asked, holding the scepter of the God King in his hand with a gloomy expression on his face.
Everyone thought that little Ajax would win before. Unexpectedly, he fell here just because of a stone. If he said there was nothing wrong inside, no one would believe him.
Lachesis stood up after hearing this, leaned over and said: "During the fight just now, a piece of luck happened to Paris, but whether this luck came from a gift from fate or a supernatural god is unknown!"
On the other side, Tiche, the goddess of luck, also stood up and signaled that Lachesis was right.
"Destiny?" Zeus pondered for a moment, a little undecided. For those favored by fate, it is not uncommon for luck to break out at critical moments. This was also the case for Jason and Hercules back then.
A routine operation.
As the trigger of the Trojan War, it is normal for Paris to be favored by fate, but the outbreak at this time was too sudden and too coincidental, which inevitably made people suspicious.
Is there a problem or is there no problem?
Even with the wisdom of Zeus, he couldn't tell, but he knew that this war should be over.
The strange little Ajax died, and the clues were cut off. The Greek coalition forces are now retreating steadily, and there are no signs of the Ability God taking action again. If they don't take action, the entire coalition army will have to be driven into the sea to feed the fish.
"Inform Athena and ask her to end this battle!" Zeus said in a deep voice.
After receiving his order, Hermes quickly left and headed straight to the lower world.
The gods on the Greek side were happy when they saw this, while the Trojan side was a little dissatisfied. However, facing the majesty of Zeus, no one dared to say anything.
On the coast of Troy, Athena's face was filled with joy. She had been anxious when she saw the tragic situation of the Greek coalition forces, but now she got permission to take action immediately.
I saw her body suddenly glowing brightly, revealing the majestic true form of the god, and then she teleported to the center of the battle between the two armies.
"That's it!"
Athena, who was covered in golden light, let out a scream that shook the whole country. At the same time, she knocked the scepter of the goddess of victory on the ground. The ground beneath her feet cracked, and then a line of several hundred meters long and ten meters wide actually appeared on the coast.
The dark canyon completely separated the two sides.
Seeing the power of the god, both warring parties were frightened. They immediately put down their weapons, worshiped, and shouted the name of Athena.
After looking around, Athena smiled with satisfaction. She raised her head slightly and said loudly: "Too much blood has been shed in today's battle. The gods are merciful and have asked me to persuade you to stop fighting today and collect the corpses."
,send the dead back to the underworld!”
The goddess had already spoken, and no matter how unwilling she was, the Trojans had to give up. Hector bowed to Athena, then stood up, cleaned up the team, and slowly exited the Greek camp with the Trojan army.
Raven glanced at Ajax who was close at hand and felt a little regretful. With Hector's cooperation, he was sure to kill Ajax in a short time. Unfortunately, Athena appeared too timely to save him.
One life.
In fact, Raven didn't know that it was precisely because they saw him preparing to attack Ajax that the gods were so anxious to stop the battle. Although there were many heroes in Greece, there were only a few top ones.
After losing Little Ajax, it would be over if there was no Big Ajax. After all, they couldn't let Achilles, the son of destiny, appear on the scene now, since he is still a child!
And when Raven was watching Ajax, Athena in the center of the battlefield was actually paying attention to him. Raven's performance in this battle was too eye-catching. First, he defeated Agamemnon who had her protection.
, and then forcibly killed little Ajax with the help of the gods. It can be said that if the gods don't end it in person and Achilles doesn't arrive, the opponent will be simply invincible on this battlefield, which is a bit incredible.
.
It's just that Raven has always been famous for his bravery and wisdom in Troy, and has never been defeated by others, so the gods can't accurately estimate how strong he is. Athena can only suppress her doubts and look at Raven.
Follow the Trojans back into the city.
night!
Piles of bonfires were raised on the beach of Troy and in the city. Both sides cleaned the bodies of the warriors, placed copper coins on their eyes, then lit the bonfires and sent the warriors back to Hades.
But the cremation was also being held, but the attitudes of the two sides were completely different. There were only hundreds of scattered bonfires in the city of Troy, but there were thousands of bonfires on the beach, which looked like a huge fire dragon.
Although the Trojans were also mourning, more people were happy. After the funeral, a banquet was held centered in the palace, singing and dancing to celebrate today's victory.
The Greeks, on the other hand, had sad faces. After seeing off their companions, they walked back to the camp one by one. From time to time, low voices could be heard, and the entire camp was extremely depressed.
Suspended in the air, Athena stared at everything below, frowning slightly.
"We must think of a way to prevent the Greeks from being defeated!"
Muttering to herself, she turned around and flew away.
At the same time, in the Troy Palace, Raven quietly left the noisy and lively hall where people were drinking and drinking, and walked into the deserted garden.
The moonlight at night was so cold that the ground seemed to be covered with a layer of silver frost, forming a sharp contrast with the brightly lit hall not far away.
Raven sighed softly as he watched this scene. He didn't know how long the prosperity in front of him could last. Judging from today's situation, the determination of the gods to destroy Troy has not wavered.
At this time, a crisp voice suddenly sounded behind Raven, "Dear Paris, why are you sighing? Your bravery today attracted the attention of the gods on Mount Olympus, praising you as the most powerful person in the history of Troy."
What a powerful hero!"
