Chapter 604: Corpse exchange (1/2)
”I saw thetis and her sister.”
”Although they were grieving and even faintly hostile to me and the Trojans, they also looked normal to their son's relationship, which really made me creepy.”
Pei Ziyun thought, goosebumps were out.
It took a long time for Achilles to stop crying and stand up again, and said to Pei Ziyun, ”Prince Paris, let's say, you have brought back so many noble corpses. What do you want today? Gold, or Bronze? Just say it, I will meet all your requirements! ”
In Achilles 'view, Prince Paris had nothing to do and was sure to ask for something, otherwise he would not return so many heroes and princes' bodies.
You should know that the bodies of these heroes and princes are in their hands, but they can be of great benefit when they are critical, so Achilles asks this.
At this time, Pei Ziyun was standing quietly in front of the chariot, with Aeneas and many Troy soldiers standing behind them. They were responsible for returning the bodies of these heroes and princes to the Greek camp.
There was no Hector in these people, and he was not fit to follow, or else he would have to fight it out immediately.
Pei Ziyun listened to Achilles, knowing that he was worried about the death of Patroclus, and said at the moment: ”We have a lot of heroes killed on both sides, and the bodies cannot be buried, which is against God's will.
He paused, and continued: ”I propose that weapons and armor are taken for granted on both sides, but we should exchange corpses.”
Pei Ziyun pointed at the corpses lying on the corpse bed and said: ”Look, every Greek hero, I have carefully cleaned and coated with balm, and I have covered them with valuable linen corpses Be. ”
The people looked along the fingers of Pei Ziyun and found that the bodies of these heroes returned were cleaned, coated with balm, and covered with valuable linen quilts (Note 1).
Pei Ziyun continued: ”These are all my expenses, but I swear to the gods that I will not take a piece of bronze in return, this is just my respect for the noble.”
Pei Ziyun's words moved everyone and reexamined Prince Paris.
At the time, Prince Paris robbed Helen from Sparta, causing so many kingdoms and city-states to be involved in the Battle of Troy. Everyone instinctively hated the culprit of the war, Prince Paris.
Although many of them also faintly understand that Prince Paris is just a bad luck driven by divine will, but anger is the instinct of most people.
”Anyway the enemy, why think for Prince Paris?”
Now Prince Paris ’s actions have won everyone's favor, and everyone has changed his senses.
Although Achilles was sorrowful, he looked at Pei Ziyun with suspicion, never expecting that Prince Paris would be so unexpected.
In Achilles' conception, Prince Paris should be a selfish person, because of his own selfishness, so many people were involved in the war.
Now Pei Ziyun's performance silenced him before he said, ”Prince Paris, although you are the culprit, this war can be said to have been initiated by you, but you respect me today because of the Pat you sent. For the reasons of Lockrose and the bodies of many heroes, I promise that I will not humiliate your body in the future, and I will give you a thick burial. ”
Pei Ziyun secretly groaned, feeling that Achilles said that he was buried as a dead man, but he needed to live very well. He is a real person. If he is dead, what is the grand funeral? ?
However, from the perspective of Achilles, he was full of self-confidence, and felt that there was no other rival in the world. As long as he took his own shot, whether it was Hector or Prince Paris, he would have to die.
And the return of Patroclus and the bodies of many heroes was not enough to redeem Prince Paris. He only listened to Achilles and said again, ”As for your request to replace the body, I agreed.”
Hearing this, the surrounding Greeks looked at each other, because Achilles was not the supreme commander of the Greek coalition after all, and did not have the power to make this decision.
He made this decision, and whether it could be counted without the consent of Agamemnon was another matter.
Everyone looked at Agamemnon, and wanted to see how he would solve the problem.
Agamemnon was the commander-in-chief of the Greek coalition. Although his authority has fallen recently, everyone is still convinced of his leadership.
Achilles said this. Agamemnon looked at everyone and looked at himself, knowing it was time to stand, and stood up and said loudly, ”Achilles' opinion is my opinion.”
This undoubtedly gave Achilles the greatest solidarity, so that what Achilles had just promised to Pei Ziyun took effect in the Greek coalition.
A few months ago, it was impossible for Agamemnon to let Achilles do this, but at this time the Greeks have reached the point of life and death. Without Achilles's shot, everyone could be destroyed.
Because Agamemnon was the commander in chief of the coalition forces, he clearly understood that in this case, he stood on Achilles, and all the princes and heroes would turn themselves into sacrifices.
