Kruses was shocked when he heard Agamemnon's words. He did not expect such a result.
You should know that although everyone is fighting fiercely on the battlefield in the Battle of Troy, once they are captured, as long as someone is willing to pay the ransom, they can generally redeem the prisoners.
This time, Clyseth came to the Greek camp to redeem his daughter. He thought it was almost certain to make a fortune, but he did not expect that there were any trouble.
The most important thing is that Clyseth was a priest with a special keen perception (or could not be a priest). He immediately felt the murderous aura in Agamemnon's words and felt the evil signs of fate. He knew that if he said more, the Greek coalition commander would violate morality and kill himself.
Clyseth was silent and carefully withdrew from the Greek camp. No one around him stopped him from leaving.
Clyseth slowly walked to the coast, looked at the sea in the distance, raised his hands with tears on his face, and prayed: "Great Apollo, you are the god who ruled such a large area. Please listen to my complaint! For many years, I have cleaned the temple for you, selected sacrifices for you, and offered sacrifices to you, and I pray that you will revenge the people of Agos for me and let them know the power of your golden arrows."
He prayed loudly, his voice sad and heroic.
Mount Olympus
Apollo sat on the golden seat, drinking wine and thinking about his thoughts. At this time, Clyseth's prayer passed through the heavy barriers of space and reached Apollo's ears.
Apollo heard his prayers and understood the whole story, and was angry.
The Greeks were too arrogant. They knew that Clees was the priest of their temple, so it would be fine if they did not agree to the request for redemption of their daughter, but they would also humiliate Clees. This was simply a provocation to themselves.
Apollo decided to teach the arrogant Greeks who were ignorant of heaven and earth well, so that they could understand that the gods should not be blasphemed and that his priests could not be humiliated at will.
Apollo stood up and left Mount Olympus angrily, carrying a divine bow and a quiver full of arrows on his shoulders, and soon came to the Greek camp.
Apollo was quietly suspended above the military camp, and no one could find its existence. Looking down at the dense crowd below, he took down the divine bow, aimed at the Greek camp and shot down.
"call out."
The bow and arrow instantly disappeared in the military camp, penetrating the bodies of the animals and soldiers in the camp, but no one felt the abnormality.
Arrows were shot by Apollo to every corner of the Greek camp, and the soldiers and animals who were caught had no feeling.
But soon, soldiers and animals in the Greek camp suffered from plague and died in miserable wails.
The accompanying doctor saw that these soldiers suffering from the plague were helpless and could only watch the soldiers die in pain.
For a moment, the Greek camp was filled with sorrow.
Troy City Prince's Mansion
In spring, flowers bloomed. According to the Greek tradition, Pei Ziyun's mansion planted fruit trees and grapes. Pei Ziyun has not gone out these days. He stayed in the mansion with Onogne and Helen, and guided how to dig the pool and build rockery.
As soon as he smiled, Gusne came over. Pei Ziyun stood up slowly: "You guys are busy for a while, I'll go and come back."
As he spoke, he listened to the report of Gusne.
"This is Apollo's revenge." After hearing this, Pei Ziyun stopped. Although the spring flowers were blooming, it was actually cold and a faint layer of slightly brown mist. He said this at this time.
It is hard to say that Apollo's clergy is. Some people say that it includes light, prophecy, music, therapy, etc., and it is even a little confused with the Sun God in the future, but its original name was "Far-Shot God"!
When Clyseth returned in a dirt, he knew that the Greeks were about to face bad luck and that the gods would not be indifferent to the humiliation of their priests.
Sure enough, I received the news from Gesne now that the Greek camp was in trouble.
This kind of plague brought down by the gods may have any effect, and it can only seek help from the gods, hoping to obtain its forgiveness.
So when Clyseth came back with a sad face, Pei Ziyun told him not to worry, after a while, the Greeks would naturally agree to the request.
"Hmph, Apollo is said to be light, with a life nature, but its bow is an arrow of plague or a supernatural disease. Is this a combination of life and death?"
Pei Ziyun quickly climbed up the city wall, looked up, and looked at the rolling smoke from the Greek camp in the distance, and knew that the corpse infected with the plague was burning, and a sneer appeared on his face.
The Greeks were arrogant and finally paid the price. I believe that the plague brought to them by Apollo this time is very good, but this is just the beginning, and the good show will continue to take place next.
"Agamemnon dominated the entire army, and it was easy for people to get used to this order, so his prestige became higher and higher. In the script, the gods used Achilles's hand to severely attack Agamemnon, forcing Agamemnon to admit his mistake and ask Achilles to leave."
"I will follow this script, but the result is not to make the Greeks feel painless, but to make a big blow." Pei Ziyun asked Gusne who was standing: "What's the next step? Can you ensure safety?"
"Prince, can ensure safety. All the people who speak indirectly, and some even turn a few times."
"Well, tell them, do things well, I won't treat them badly. You did a good job this time, go down and receive the reward." Pei Ziyun said lightly.
"Thank you for the reward of the prince." After saying that, Gusne left.
This time, the chess pieces placed in the Greek coalition played an important role. They just spread some rumors to make the conflict between the heroes and commanders of the Greek coalition, who were already incompatible with each other, open up.
At this time, they don’t have to fight, just engage in internal struggles.
In the Greek camps, the plague caused the death of various animals at the beginning, and slowly spread to people. The soldiers died one by one, and the number of people was slowly increasing.
This plague seems to be more powerful as the number of people infected with the plague increases. At first, the animals were infected, and then ordinary soldiers, if they go further, they might be heroes and princes.
The firewood that cremated the corpses in the camp burned day and night, and the corpses were moved out of the camp tent one by one.
Achilles looked at the bodies, with a worried look on his face. If this continues, they will be dragged down by the plague without the Trojans attacking.
At this time, a wandering minstrel saw Achilles' worried expression and wanted to say something, and stopped talking again.
"What do you want to say?" Achilles noticed that this was a minstrel whom he came to his hometown Tesalia recently. He is said to be a bit famous, but he grew up on Schuros Island and was not familiar with it.
He only heard the minstrel tremblingly and said: "Prince Achilles, this situation in the army may be solved by asking the priests for advice."
"Your suggestion is good, I will adopt it." Achilles said little, throwing a piece of gold to the minstrel. He was very inspired by the words of the minstrel. He felt that this matter could only be solved by the gods, so he decided to raise it at the prince's meeting.
The Greek coalition's princes' meeting was a meeting attended by all princes and heroes, and it was also the highest meeting for the Greek coalition to make decisions. Major matters will be discussed and approved at this meeting before they will be implemented.
At this time, the plague incident occurred in the camp brought all the princes and heroes together to hold a meeting again.
"More and more people are infected with the plague. We should isolate these people and bury them. If they are all cremated, the firewood can no longer keep up with the demand."
At this time, Achilles stood up and said, "There is no good way for our military doctor to solve this plague. I hope to ask a priest, a fortune teller or a dream interpreter, to ask them to seek the will of God and see if they can calm Apollo's wrath and eliminate the disasters in the army."
"Yes, we should offer sacrifices to the gods in order to find a way to solve this plague." Everyone nodded in agreement with Achilles' proposal, feeling that only by asking the priests or fortune tellers to ask the gods for advice can the plague be solved.
Agamemnon was very angry when he saw the arrogant young man expressing his opinion and gaining the approval of many princes.
He believed that Achilles made an opinion to steal the limelight, win people's hearts, and challenge his authority. Otherwise, even if Achilles came up with a solution, why not tell himself in advance in private?
Agamemnon could never tolerate such a thing happening and was about to fight back, when someone suddenly said, "Don't you have to look for a priest or a fortune teller. Isn't there a prophet here who can communicate with the gods at any time?"
Hearing him say this, everyone remembered that Karcas was a great Greek prophet, who could ask the gods about the solution to this plague. Everyone forgot to ask for his opinion at the beginning.
Carcas's face was bitter. He had actually known the reason for a long time, but he didn't want to speak. He hoped that everyone would forget him at this time because this matter was essentially a contradiction between the commander and the brave general, and it was common in any world. However, in this world, force is more important, so the contradiction is more acute.
No matter what Carkas said, he would offend Agamemnon.
Agamemnon was the commander of the coalition army. Once he offended Agamemnon, he might have life worries because he knew very well what kind of person Agamemnon was to sacrifice his own daughter for the sake of his own power. If he offended him, the outcome can be imagined.
But the gods wanted him to speak, but they could not hide. He had no choice but to stand up. He knew that if he said this, he would offend Agamemnon so much that his good days in the Greek coalition would end and he had to find someone to protect him.
Carcas looked at Achilles and said, "Achilles, if you can protect me from harm, I can explain in detail why the gods are angry."
Although Achilles was a little surprised, he still said loudly: "Great prophet Carcas, even if you boldly tell the reason, I will protect you from anyone's harm."
When Carcas heard Achilles' assurance in front of so many people, he truly felt relieved and was not afraid of Agamemnon's open revenge.
"The gods are not angry because we do not keep our oaths and do not offer sacrifices. His anger was Agamemnon who insulted his priests. If we did not return the priest's daughter to him, then Apollo would not give up."
“It will continue to cause disaster to us, and make more and more dead people. Only by satisfying His wishes can we regain God’s grace.”
Carkas's words undoubtedly splashed circles of ripples like stones thrown into the calm water.
Everyone was discussing the rationality of Kalkas's words. If this was the case, they could only persuade Agamemnon to put the priest's daughter Cruceys back to calm Apollo's anger.
"I think it is possible that as Carkas said, Commander Agamemnon had insulted the priest of the gods and had not returned his daughter to him."
"If we want the gods to calm their anger, we must return Clyseis to the Priest of Clyseis as soon as possible, otherwise our soldiers will have to endure the torture of the plague."
Achilles was very young, and he was only fifteen or sixteen years old now. He didn't expect that it was because Agamemnon did not return the priest's daughter Cruceys last time. But since he knew the situation, it would be easier to deal with it. Agamemnon asked Cruces' daughter to go there.
