Chapter 504 Decline

Troy Palace.

After King Priamos said the words, everyone was talking fiercely, and Pei Ziyun also understood that Troy planned to carry out revenge in steps.

The first step was to go on a mission to Greece to redeem the king's sister Hesione. In fact, Hesione was the queen who ruled Salamis and had multiple princes. It is hard to say whether she wanted to be saved or not - no one asked her for her opinion.

But through this step, we can determine the legitimacy of Troy's revenge - you have destroyed my city-state and plundered our princesses, and we are now here to indict us.

If there is no accident, the Troy righteousness can be established in hundreds of city-states, causing changes in people's hearts, and offensive and defensive situations. Maybe there is a possibility of taking the opportunity to defeat Greece, establish the Kingdom of Asia Minor, or even unify Greece.

But the gods who were high on the Olympic Mountain immediately understood the meaning, so Paris was the sin of robbing the queen - now Troy turned into an unjust camp.

Seeing everyone's fierce argument, Pei Ziyun sighed. Even if he could see clearly, what would he do?

This is the bottom line of the gods.

If Pei Ziyun dared to tamper with this red line and throw the blame to the Greeks or the gods, believe it or not, the gods will directly descend to kill Paris and change the trigger line?

"Don't think of yourself very important. This is the first in the world of the gods." Pei Ziyun shook his head, not thinking about these strategic levels, thinking about his own tasks.

Hector was the first heir and could not leave at all, so he could only go to Greece by himself.

After the system prompts, although I knew that the king called Paris, I was basically sure that I wanted to go by myself, at this time, I could not take the initiative to ask for it, but had to be "forced" to go on a mission and throw the responsibility to the Citizens' Congress, otherwise I would be very passive.

According to the "script" of the gods, in history, after hearing the news, Paris immediately jumped out and said that if he was asked to lead a fleet to Greece, he would definitely be able to use force to take back his sister from the enemy with the help of God, and ended up running away from Menelaus's wife Helen halfway.

This is simply a fool. By then, the countries besieged Troy, and Paris would be the culprit of the war.

Although the old king believed that war with the Greeks was inevitable, so he protected Paris, it also led to the loss of Paris' hearts and even the Trots did not like it.

In this world, I may not necessarily develop according to the "script", but I cannot step on the red line. Otherwise, let alone the gods fell directly and killed me, or some so-called oracles, I, the prince of the crow, would have to sing the song of death row with tears in my eyes.

So Pei Ziyun did not jump out, and ignored the look of the king's eyes that he looked over several times, but just listened carefully, looking like a good prince who said, "I'm just new, I don't know anything, I'm just listening."

But fate is always irresistible. The "modified script" will always go back to its original path. Without making a sound, Troyros jumped out first.

"Father, Brother Hector is the pillar of Troy and cannot go to Greece easily, but I think Brother Paris is very suitable for this trip to Greece."

As soon as he finished speaking, the king nodded slightly, apparently agreeing with Troyros' words.

Ifobos clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, glared at Troyros, and when he returned, he whispered: "Traitor."

Ifobos was really angry. He didn't expect that he would talk to his "enemy" with his younger brother before, and he also saw that Troyros had been close to Paris recently, but he was alienated from him. What is this not betrayal?

Troyros looked squinting, as if he hadn't heard Efobos's words at all. He thought it very clearly when he came back last time and followed Paris in the future.

Ifobos performed poorly in the process of fighting against the Siren. On the contrary, Paris was like a god, and he surpassed Ifobos's elder brother in both force and strategy. The most important thing is that Brother Paris was very generous.

Who to choose is not clear at a glance?

After hearing Troyros' words, many people present actually agreed with Paris's mission to Greece. After all, Paris proved his ability in the previous battle to wipe out the Siren.

But some people have different opinions.

Helenos, the son of Priamus' ex-wife, was a prophet, and stood up and said, "Father, the prophecy shows that if Paris goes, he will bring back a woman from Greece, because the Greeks will chase Troy, and then they will flatten the city of Troy and kill the king you and all your sons."

When everyone heard Helenos' prophecy, their faces changed slightly. The will of the gods was of great importance in this era. Everyone expressed their opinions on this prophecy and started arguing.

Ivobos was the first to stand up to support Helenos' prophecy: "Father, I do not agree with Paris's mission to Greece. Herlenos' divination prophecy has always been very accurate, and this time must be no exception. In this case, Paris's mission will bring disaster to Troy. I hope his father will consider it solemnly."

Troyros stood up here again: "Father, Ivobos is worried that something is reasonable, but Brother Helenos's predictions cannot be correct. Besides, Paris knows that the prophecy will definitely be taken precautions."

Ifobos looked at Troyros gloomyly, and his eyes could almost have a fire. He really couldn't have imagined that this young follower, who had been against him several times before.

King Priamos asked with a gloomy face: "Helenos, is your prophecy reliable or not? If Paris knew this prophecy now, I would like to promise that he would not bring any woman back from Greece, will the result of the prophecy change?"

"Father, the will of the gods cannot be changed." Helenos said with a blank expression.

Pei Ziyun immediately stood up: "Father, as a prince, I was obliged to do things with the city-state. But I just came back from Mount Ida and asked me to capture and kill the sirens, but this is a diplomacy in other kingdoms. I have a weak grasp of etiquette. Will the lack of etiquette damage our Troy's face?"

"And with Brother Helenos' prophecy before, I cannot go. If the gods make me wrong and make Troy be destroyed again, I will be redeemed to death."

As he said that, Pei Ziyun sneered secretly.

"Small, in history, Helenos sang the crow's mouth first, and then Paris insisted on going, but it turned out that Paris was all responsible."

"I won't carry you now, I'll be anxious to death!"

Pei Ziyun's approach immediately made everyone's argument even more intense.

"I think Paris is perfectly qualified for this mission. As for the prophecy, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be deviations."

"You can also question the decisions of the gods? If Paris goes to Greece, it will bring endless disasters."

"How does Helenos' prophecy represent the will of the gods? I support Paris's mission to Greece."

"If the prophecy comes true, Troy will face the disaster of destruction, don't be careless."

“…”

Everyone argued fiercely because of this prophecy, and some even argued red and almost wanted to take action.

King Priamos had no choice but to stand up from the marble throne, waved his hand, calmed everyone's emotions, and calmed everyone: "Since that's the case, then convene a citizen's meeting. Leave this decision to all Troy's citizens."

Unlike many people who think, in Greece and Asia Minor, the king alone cannot decide on war, and only the meeting of the whole citizen can decide.

This is different from Daxu. In Daxu, the powerful emperor can decide the war alone, and at most it is to communicate with the ministers.

Although I just discussed whether Paris could send a mission to Greece, in the final analysis, it was the possible war that Paris's mission to Greece could trigger.

Both the King and the Troy young people supported the war of revenge against Greece, but this was implemented and carried out in a planned and step-by-step manner, not a brainless pig.

When Paris's mission to Greece is likely to trigger a war with Greece in advance, which will disrupt the rhythm of Troy's revenge war and make Troy fall into a passive position.

These can only be resolved at the Citizens' Congress.

At present, the king ordered the bell ringer to ring the big bell hanging at the highest point of the palace. The sound of the big bell can resound throughout the city and can quickly convey some important information.

This time, citizens of the whole city were summoned to gather at Troy Square. The bell ringers ring the big bell, and citizens in Troy City would quickly rush to the square to attend the rally.

The people in the palace left the palace and went to the square to prepare to attend the civic conference. When everyone left, King Priamos left Paris alone and said with some reproach: "Paris, you are the most suitable person, why not go?"

"Father, I just married Onogne. I want to stay in the city for a while. If I go to Greece, it will take at least a year. If it is too long, I will have at least a year of not seeing my newly married wife, Onogne." Pei Ziyun could not answer his father in an official way this time, but he answered warmly.

This is also a reasonable reason. King Priamos couldn't help but speechless. It was indeed a bit unkind to let Paris, who had been newly married for less than a month, but he really had no suitable son to use to send Greece except Paris.

Ivobos was originally a suitable candidate, but his performance in the last battle to wipe out the Siren was too disappointing. Greece had to deal with the complicated situation when he went on a mission, so he didn't dare to hand over this task to him.

As for other princes, Heltor is not suitable for missions to Greece as his heir. Others are either too small and unable to bear the heavy responsibilities in their abilities, or special professions such as priests and prophets, which are completely unsuitable for diplomacy on missions.

Paris is the most suitable candidate, but unfortunately there are too many unexpected things, so we can only see the outcome of the Citizens' Assembly. The king couldn't help but sigh deeply, feeling that there were too few people available.

But he heard Paris whisper, "Of course, although I don't want to leave Onogne, if the Citizens' Congress decides that I will go, I will be a member of the city-state and will never take care of myself."

But in this case, you would rather know that there is such a magical metaphor and insist on me, and the responsibility is not me.

After hearing this, the king didn't know the feeling and was still a little relieved.
