Troy Square is a space that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. There is a circular fountain in the center of the square, and a statue of Zeus stands in the center of the fountain.

There is a sculpture of gods every once in a distance in the square, including gods such as Apollo, Hera, Hermes, and Athena.

At this moment, the square was close to the palace and stood full of citizens coming to attend the civic conference. Everyone whispered to each other and talked a lot.

After a while, the king came out of the palace and walked step by step to the square and looked around. The crowd became silent. Everyone looked at King Priames with hope, waiting to speak.

The king spoke slowly, his voice firmly.

"Dear citizens, I am the King Priamus. This time I call you all, mainly to let everyone decide on the candidates for the mission to Greece."

"Everyone knows that I once sent Antenvos as a peace envoy, and went to Greece with an olive branch of peace, asking the Greeks to apologize for the robbery of his sister Heseyone and return her to the country, but the Greeks laughed and caused Antenvos to suffer humiliation in Greece and were driven back by the Greeks."

When the king said this, his face was already sad and angry, and the citizens also showed a look of hatred for the enemy. The envoy of a country was driven out, which was a provocation to Troy!

The new generation of citizens has long been accustomed to the strength of their own city-states. How can they tolerate this?

The king glanced at the citizens and was very satisfied. In fact, when Troy was destroyed, the young Priamos rebuilt Troy to its current scale. His prestige was very high. He continued to say: "State that the peaceful way cannot make the Greeks apologize, and his sister Hesione cannot return to China as soon as possible. Then I want someone to lead a powerful army to achieve the purpose that cannot be achieved by etiquette."

Antenavus stood up excitedly at this moment, the first to clearly support the king's suggestion, only to hear his recollection: "Dear citizens, I, Antenavus suffered in Greece as an envoy at that time, which made me suffer day and night. Whenever I recall this past, I feel extremely painful, blaming myself for not being able to restore the lost dignity for the Kingdom of Troy."

Antenavos was excited and waved his hand: "The Greeks are all madmen of peace and cowards of war. The last time I left with peace, I was neglected and insulted by these madmen. This time, we should use powerful force to make those cowards understand that the dignity of the Trojan Kingdom cannot be violated and trampled on."

Antenavos' speech aroused strong indignation from the Greeks, who were angry and roaring, unanimously demanding that war be used to teach the arrogant Greeks a lesson.

At this time, an elderly Trojan, Pantos, stood out from the crowd, and saw him slightly raise his hands and press down, slightly calming the citizens' anger.

"Dear citizens, in my childhood, I heard from my father Otiels that the gods had passed down oracles. If a prince in the Laomodon family brought back a wife from Greece in the future, then all the Trojans would face disaster."

"So we cannot be deceived by the honor of fighting. Friends, let us live in peace and tranquility, and don't bet on our lives in war, and in that case, perhaps even the most basic freedom will be lost."

There was a lot of murmuring and sighing in the crowd.

"Pantos is an alarmist, oracle, why haven't I heard of it?" said an old man about the same age as him.

"Pantos deserves our respect, but when he is old, we can understand his pursuit of a stable and comfortable life, but if the humiliation we suffer is not washed away for a day, the dignity we lose will not be reclaimed for a day."

"Without dignity, we cannot obtain a safe and comfortable environment." This is what a middle-aged citizen said and has won praise from many people.

"Yes, we can only use powerful force to make the cowardly Greeks understand that Troy is no longer the Troy he used to be."

Every day, dozens of merchant ships from Greek city-states pass through the Dardanelles, and they all have to pay taxes at this time. This is one of the reasons for Troy's prosperity over the years, but the Greeks often have friction with it, because Troy was once defeated and destroyed by the Greeks.

Therefore, this young citizen's words have gained strong recognition from the citizens around him. Without majesty, how can he charge taxes from the caravans of various states?

This can be related to everyone's welfare.

Everyone expressed strong dissatisfaction with Pantos' suggestion, asking King Priamos to ignore the intimidation of an elderly man and boldly put what he decided in his heart into action.

Everyone agreed that the most suitable messenger for this mission to Greece was Prince Paris.

"Prince Esacus and Prince Helenos are prophets, usually suitable envoys, but now we need a prince of force."

"Hector cannot go. Prince Paris, who can kill the sirens, is the one we like!"

Faced with the enthusiasm of citizens, Pei Ziyun had to go on stage. He walked to the high platform: "Dear citizens, someone just blamed me for Paris, you are the most suitable candidate, why not go?"

"But dear citizens, I have just returned from Mount Ida, and I am not etiquette and diplomacy, so how can I go on a mission to Greece? And I have just married Onogne, and I want to stay in the city for a while. If I go to Greece, it will take at least a year, too long."

The citizens in the audience burst into laughter, and their favorability increased greatly because of Paris's straightforward words.

Someone immediately said: "Antenavos is proficient in etiquette and diplomacy, but he suffered humiliation and was driven back. Now he needs a prince with strong force to go to Greece."

Another nobleman in the city said: "As for Onogne's arms, it's very good, but we will give compensation, and we can give Paris ten virgin slaves to be maids."

Speaking of this, there was another burst of laughter.

Pei Ziyun responded: "But my brother Helenos and the respectable Pantos all said there were oracles, saying that it was not good for me to go to Greece and would bring disaster to Troy."

The citizens in the audience responded: "If the gods make you make a mistake, then we will bear it together."

Pei Ziyun looked at King Priamos, and saw that he was not able to check and nodded slightly. He knew that the time had come, and said, "That's it, I won't refuse."

As soon as the words came, a plum blossom appeared in front of him and quickly enlarged, turning into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of view with a faint sense of light, and data appeared in front of him.

"Task: The determination of the people, the will of the gods cannot be disobeyed, but you (Paris) cannot bear the responsibility for causing the war (completed)"

Pei Ziyun had just snatched a beat, and his eyes suddenly became dark and there was a strange phenomenon.

I saw that the rich black air was shrouded on my head, forming black clouds. What's even more terrifying is that the cloud air stretched out many snake heads, as if to swallow everything around me.

At this time, the snake kept swimming towards the citizens in the clouds. As they swam by, the sun extinguished the light, and the ghosts of the underworld roared in the square. The citizens smiled foolishly, but their eyes were filled with tears.

However, this strange phenomenon only took a moment, and a new mission was released in a blink of an eye.

"Task: Finding New Allies (Amazon Kingdom)"

"My black gas has decreased by 70%, but it did not disappear out of thin air, but it was transferred to citizens. However, in history, citizens have shed blood for Troy. After the city of Troy was destroyed, almost all the people were massacred, and they were transferred or not. In fact, the result was the same.

"It's just Paris personally, get a little vitality."

"Looking for new allies?"

"That's right, Amazon has not sent troops in history, it's just the queen's personal actions." Pei Ziyun thought in thought.

"I hope Prince Paris can return triumphantly on his mission to Greece." The citizens did not know the change, and an elder was still talking.

"victory!"

"Snow humiliation!"

"Triumph!"

The crowds in the square shouted, and the voices soared into the sky, which showed the Trojans' shame for the defeat decades ago and their desire for victory.

"Since all citizens of the Citizens' Congress passed the resolution of Paris as a Greek envoy on behalf of the Greek emissary, Paris cannot live up to everyone's expectations. We must show your most courageous side and let the arrogant Greeks know the power of our Troy." King Priamos said.

"At the same time, in order to strengthen the power of Paris's envoy and increase the strength of the emissary group, I decided to build a workshop on Mount Ida and rebuild a large warship." The king issued another order to build a workshop on Mount Ida.

"Call the citizens in the city for training. Those who are under-weapons can sell them at a fair price in the treasury."

The Citizens' Congress resolves all major events in the city-state. Every citizen has the right to vote in the Citizens' Congress, every citizen may be elected as a member of parliament, and every citizen has to take turns to attend the jury court, but he also bears an obligation, and the most important thing about this obligation is to fight.

Citizens must bring their own armor and weapons to join the army. Each soldier's armor, weapons and horses are purchased by themselves, rather than supplied by the state. The state only bears various logistical expenses during combat.

However, there are always relatively poor citizens. At this time, the treasury sells weapons at a fair price to truly arm every citizen.

"There is still some time before the mission to Greece, Hector, I send you to the envoy of Vlikiah, and you will strive to gain the support of the Kingdom of Vlikiah and form an alliance with them."

"Yes, father, I will definitely live up to my expectations." Heltor said solemnly.

"Paris and Ivobos first went to the neighboring country of Perchinia to fight for the support and alliance of this kingdom." King Priamos arranged it in an orderly manner.

"Father, we need to win more allies, neighboring Percynia. I think Ivobos is enough to go. I have a better place to go, which is the farther Amazon Kingdom. I am willing to win the support and alliances of Amazons for my father." Pei Ziyun stood up and expressed his different opinions, and expressed the country he planned to go to.

"I also heard that there were monsters on Amazon. I want to help the Queen of Amazon solve the monsters so that they can better win friendships and gain support and alliances."

In history, the Amazon queen Pentesilea still led her army to aid Troy, mainly because she saw a sika deer while hunting and threw it with her gun. Unexpectedly, she accidentally hit her beloved sister Hippolyta, which led to the pursuit of the goddess of vengeance. No sacrifice could calm the goddess' anger.

Pentesilea hoped to use the expedition to get out of the predicament, so she selected twelve female warriors to come to Troy, although they were all female heroes, but not established troops.

Moreover, Pentesileah came too late and died in battle without any effect. If he had come earlier, he could have given the Greeks more damage.

King Priamos readily agreed with Pei Ziyun's suggestion. After all, it would be beneficial to Troy without any harm to him.

The king looked around the audience: "Dear citizens, we are about to face war this time, but the number of our troops is far from enough. I hope that the young men present can show your courage and contribute your greatest strength to the victory over the Greeks in the Kingdom of Troy."

"After meeting."

On the spot, the young and middle-aged Trojans showed enough enthusiasm and signed up to join the army to make their contribution to the upcoming war.

The Trojans are fighting spirit at this moment. They are eager for war than ever. The courage and determination make them full of confidence in this upcoming war.

Pei Ziyun also left the stage and looked at these: "Now, everything is the collective will. These people have indeed shed blood for Troy in history."

"Now, Elder Antenor is afraid that he has a strange intention?" Pei Ziyun's eyes flashed and he looked at an old man with a gloomy face.

However, to be fair, it is not considered a strange intention, but only to think of retreating. Antenol helped the king rebuild the establishment of Troy and made contributions. However, in the Battle of Troy, this person opposed the war from the beginning and encouraged the king to return Helen to exchange for the Greeks' retreat.

And when the Greek envoys came, they treated and protected the Greek envoys, so they became a few survivors after the city was destroyed, and the bodies of the Trojans were buried in this family.

However, this is also human nature, and not everyone hopes to establish hegemony and gain the glory of a great power.

Some people only hope to enjoy the current wealth. Although this is ridiculous, even if Troy seeks peace, Greece will launch a war and will not allow Troy to rise peacefully.

Pei Ziyun shook his head slowly. When he saw this story in his previous life, he always felt that it could be changed and even regretted the destruction of Troy.

Now I understand that not only Greece wants war, but Troy also wants war; not only kings want war, but citizens also want war; not only people want war, but God also wants war.

Whoever stops it will be crushed to pieces. Even Elder Antenor can only oppose it in a roundabout way and cannot resist public opinion.

Even the gods who are above and above have no peaceful ways to resolve the contradiction between Greece and Asia Minor, and the contradiction between the divine power order between the gods.

And I can only work hard to grow in the war and strive for that glimmer of hope.
