Starting from the other world, I joined the chat group at the same time

It's not the most perfect piece of work, and while it's usable, it's still not perfect.

Xia Lang no longer has enough points to purchase more materials to improve it or even strengthen it, but...

'Fortunately', the upcoming war will win Xia Lang countless points.

But he wasn't happy about it at all.

"Ah~" Sighing deeply, Xia Lang slowly grabbed the cold forging hammer beside him, raised it, and in the light of bursting flames, he struck out new killing weapons one after another.

At this point, there is no point in saying more. Let's just wait for the war to come.

But fortunately, there is still a long time before the Greek fleet arrives, right?

If it is the movie version, it would take at least half a year for the Greeks to assemble their fleet and reach Troy, and if it is the mythological version - it would be even longer.

The heroes gathered at Aulis Harbor.

They gathered again and set out again, but they angered the goddess Artemis again. Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia, and the goddess turned the heroically sacrificed princess into her own priest. Finally, after going through many hardships, the heroes finally arrived in Troy.

One year? Two years? Or longer?

Not sure, but Xia Lang still has enough time, plenty of time...

However, the war came strangely at an extremely fast speed.

One week, just one week.

Seven days later, when Xia Lang just came out of the workshop, he received news from the police.

When the watcher standing at the highest point discovered a sail at the end of the sea level, the news of the war spread throughout Troy.

First one sailboat, then two, then ten ships, a hundred, a thousand ships!!!

So densely packed that it seemed to fill up the entire ocean, endless sailing ships were carrying a hundred thousand Greek warriors as greedy and bloodthirsty as wolves!

At this moment, the Trojans were not ready.

The fortress on the beach had not been completed, the priests had not yet offered sufficient sacrifices to the gods, and the craftsmen had not yet forged all the weapons.

But the war has already begun.

When Xia Lang came to the palace again, he saw the pale old king, Paris with a look of expectation and excitement, and Hector with a solemn expression.

"It was Athena, it was the goddess' wisdom that allowed them to come so quickly."

Priam's hands trembled slightly as he put them together. I don't know if he was praying to Apollo or Athena.

Hector said nothing. Agamemnon's army was indeed gathering very quickly, even to an abnormal level.

"We are not ready yet, but there is no possibility of escape." Hector said in a deep voice

"By noon, Agamemnon's army will arrive at Tenedos. They will destroy Pedas before our fleet can even gather."

"So we will abandon Pedas City and evacuate the people back." Xia Lang continued calmly.

"But - we don't have time to evacuate civilians." Paris raised his eyebrows.

"No need, because we have already emptied Pedas." Xia Lang said faintly.

"Pedas is not a city that is good at defense. The island is too small and the land is too soft. It would be seriously disadvantageous for us to set up defense there."

"The people of Pedas were evacuated to Lesbos a day ago and now they need further evacuation."

"Are we retreating before the war even starts?" Paris said indignantly.

"We should meet those Greek bandits head-on and defeat them head-on!"

"Our soldiers cannot stand up to the Greek warriors at sea, brother, and Xia has made all the preparations."

Hector interrupted his brother's reckless speech, then looked at Xia Lang with trusting eyes and said

"I have prepared a great gift for the invading Greeks in Pedas," Xia Lang said faintly.

"Let the raging wildfire be the first gift to the Greeks."

……

"Success! We don't need Achilles, we have conquered an island of Troy without any soldiers!!!"

On the luxurious warship, the tall, old, and bloated King Agamemnon looked at the city that had been breached by the soldiers in front of him, and proudly said to the herald Tartibius beside him:

"Your Majesty, we Greeks are invincible." Tartibius said respectfully

"Tell the warriors to plunder everything in the city! All the women will be theirs, as will all the wealth. This is my reward for their bravery!"

Agamemnon waved his hand and handed over the wealth and harvest to the brave soldiers.

Although the first wave of charge were all his Mycenaean warriors.

After the order was passed down, the soldiers rushed to the city with great enthusiasm. However, when they entered, they found that there was no one inside.

But it doesn't matter.

The coins scattered on the ground, the expensive decorations, these things represent wealth.

Greed had already filled the hearts of the Mycenaean warriors. They unscrupulously plundered all the treasures they could see. Filling their pockets was not enough, so they stuffed the treasures into the gaps in their armor, into their shields, and into any other space they could find!

They were so greedy that they were blinded by their hearts and did not smell the increasingly pungent smell in the air.

Click~click~click~

A Mycenaean warrior who had rushed into the house to loot heard a strange sound coming from the empty room. Following the sound, he soon found a wall hanging.

Tearing off the expensive mural, the greedy warrior saw a strange object placed in the groove.

The long object has a round metal ring tied in the middle, and sound is constantly transmitted from the center of the ring.

"What is this?" The warriors were extremely curious, but greed obviously occupied their hearts more than curiosity.

Without hesitation, he stuffed this precious object that could make sounds by itself into his armor. Just as he reached out to grab something else, he felt something extremely slippery under his feet.

He lowered his head and saw a thick and pungent transparent liquid spreading under his feet. He didn't know what it was, and at this moment countless houses were filled with this liquid.

The greedy Mycenaean warriors had already rushed into the houses to loot the most precious treasures.

Tick ​​tock, tick tock, tick tock~

The sound became increasingly subtle and finally reached the moment of zeroing, and as the dial on the clock reached the final moment—

boom! ! ! !

Agamemnon, who was singing victory songs with a glass of wine in hand, shuddered all over. His aged face looked in astonishment at the loud noise coming from the city of Pedas and the countless flying rubbles!

But this is just the beginning.

The next moment, countless wildfires spread like a strong wind blowing across the grassland, spreading wildly in every corner of Pedas City in an instant!

"Come on Zeus."

Agamemnon opened his mouth and groaned. He felt as if he was frozen in time due to the coldness of his body.

Volume 91: Xia Lang's Various Time Travels: Chapter 88 . [Troy] Victory, and one side's defeat

Xia Lang filled the city of Pedas with things, all of which were large quantities of high-quality gasoline that he had purchased from Baki World in the chat group.

In fact, even if he didn't buy gasoline, he could achieve a similar effect. The Asia Minor region where Troy was located was originally a very rich oil-producing area. He even discovered a rich oil lake when he was wandering around before the war came.

If we go back thousands of years, such weapons were also invented by the Greeks themselves. During the Eastern Roman Empire, the famous "Greek Fire" weapon was such a solidified oil weapon. The Eastern Roman Empire even installed these weapons on their warships to burn the enemies who competed with them for the ocean.

Xia Lang simply advanced the time of his appearance.

A large amount of gasoline was filled into cans, which were then placed in advance in the city of Pedas. A simple timing device was set up to dump the gasoline if it was left unattended for more than three hours.

Then comes the ignition flame. Originally, I chose the more primitive flame, but since there are more useful time bombs, I naturally have to choose these.

After discovering the chat group, Xia Lang had more and better choices, and now the result he created was obviously perfect enough.

The flames rising from the city of Pedas could be seen clearly from King Tyrion's palace, which was located at the highest point.

Xia Lang stared indifferently at the city where he had lived for a while, watching the burning flames and black smoke rising into the sky.

How many people did he kill?

I don’t know. Xia Lang had no feelings about this, because this was not his first time killing someone, and—

He had no moral baggage about slaughtering these Greeks; on the contrary, he felt very proud.

No matter how much these so-called Trojan heroes are praised, to Xia Lang, who was born in the Chinese civilization and grew up hearing stories about heroes who mostly defended their country and sacrificed themselves, they were all a group of bandits.

For the sake of so-called honor and to prove their so-called bravery, they go to other countries' territories and burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of atrocities.

Sing praises loudly with killing and death, demonstrate your honor with the heads of others, and finally tell everyone - this is glory.

Xia Lang understood that this was a cultural difference, so he would never agree with these so-called heroic legends.

Oh, well, since you want to create your so-called glory with blood and skulls, then I believe they are also prepared to become the fertilizer for the glory under the feet of others.

I just don't know whether my first wave of ambush killed the heroes in the Greek coalition, or whether this coalition includes the batches of ancient heroes in the story.

At least Xia Lang did not see Memnon of Ethiopia, Penthesilea, the queen of the Amazon, or Aeannes in Troy.

If this is really just a small adaptation of the movie version, the first to land on the beach would be Achilles and his fifty warriors.

In order to fully demonstrate the bravery of the protagonist of the movie, the original story was completely changed, in which the priest predicted that the first person to set foot on the beach of Troy would die.

In the original book, after hearing the prophecy, the cunning Odysseus threw his shield onto the shore in order to attract his soldiers to the shore, and then nimbly jumped onto the shield to pretend that he was the first person to set foot on the beach of Troy.

The hero Protesilaus, eager to gain military merit, did not notice Odysseus's trick and immediately jumped ashore to kill the enemy. Then, Hector's spear flew and he was killed instantly.

Xia Lang closed his eyes. In fact, whether it was Achilles or Odysseus, it would be great if they could really die under his arrangement.

Whether brave or cunning, these Greek heroes are extremely destabilizing factors for Xia Lang.

Even if it was really just movie-level combat power, Xia Lang still wanted to maintain stability. That strong sense of uneasiness never retreated from his heart.

“You did it, you really did it!”

Hector hurried over, grabbed Xia Lang's hand excitedly, and said loudly

"Xia! Your fire water killed half of Agamemnon's soldiers for us! And almost burned his herald to death. We dealt a heavy blow to the Greek army!!!"

Hector's voice seemed to open a door to celebration. In an instant, the old king, Paris, Helen, Chryseis, and all the nobles in the court showed relaxed smiles.

The first wave of offensive in a war is crucial. No matter for the attacker or the defender, the first wave of attack determines the morale of the following side!

The fact is that the Greeks failed to capture their Trojan land! On the contrary, the blessing of the son of the god of fire won them the first victory!

"Praise the son of Hephaestus, praise the great Xia!!!"

Someone shouted, and then the whole court cheered, including the king and the prince.

Then, cheers spread as the news of victory spread, and the whole of Troy was rejoicing and praising this opening victory.

And there is no doubt that their admiration for Xia Lang is also gradually increasing.

"Oh, look at him, getting all the compliments from everybody."

Paris looked at Xia Lang surrounded by the crowd with jealousy and muttered in a low voice:

"Don't be jealous, my love, you will definitely be able to achieve success."

Helen gently soothed Paris' emotions. The relationship between them was more like a mother and son than a lover.

"Yes, I can do it, too." Paris quickly cheered up and joined the cheering crowd.

After all, although this version of Paris is stupid, greedy, lustful, unable to control his lower body, and cowardly and incompetent, he is not a pure villain like Agamemnon.

But given his identity, perhaps such naivety is the biggest and most damnable sin.

Helen looked at Paris with a smile, and then suddenly without warning looked at Xia Lang who was surrounded by the crowd.

Her eyes were full of light, like the tide. She stretched out her slender red tongue and gently licked her fragrant pink lips, saying softly:

"Son of the God of Fire... Hehe, that's interesting."

Xia Lang, who was in the crowd, shuddered and looked up at the dark sky. The ominous feeling became stronger and stronger.

……

"Your Majesty, we have regrouped our forces..."

The herald Tartibius hurried to the tent on the beach, came to Agamemnon who was fidgeting, put his hand on his chest, and whispered:

"But the losses were severe, and many of them felt that this was Hephaestus's punishment for us and that we should not have invaded Troy."

"Nonsense! Troy was never a place blessed by Hephaestus!"
