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

Agamemnon angrily threw the golden cup to the ground and roared angrily:

"Even if you are blessing us, the God of Fire will only stand with the Goddess of Wisdom and Queen Hera to bless our Greek warriors. How can you possibly help Troy!!!"

The herald said nothing, but his attitude undoubtedly spoke volumes.

"Agamemnon, the morale of the soldiers is low. We must use a victory to prove that this war is justified."

A middle-aged man who looked similar to Agamemnon but more heroic and sturdy said in a deep voice:

"But no matter what, Sparta and I will stand with you and Mycenae!"

"...Menelaos, my brother, you have more courage than anyone in Greece!"

Agamemnon was moved and hugged his brother, but it was hard to say how much of his emotion was real.

But he was undoubtedly sure of one thing, that he really needed his brother now.

The reason why Agamemnon was able to gather such a huge army of 100,000 and gain the power to command it was ultimately due to the Mycenae's extremely powerful naval military force.

Of these one thousand warships, three hundred belonged to Mycenae, and another one hundred and fifty belonged to Sparta.

The fact that Agamemnon could occupy nearly half of the coalition forces was enough to prove his strength. It could almost be said that as long as Athens did not give up, Mycenae would be the strongest city-state in the Mediterranean.

Well, as to why Athena supported the Greek coalition but did not allow Athens, which believed in her the most, to perish... I can only say that it is very strange.

It's like Ares clearly supports Troy, but Sparta stands on the side of Greece. The Trojans clearly say that their walls were built by Poseidon, but Poseidon supports Greece.

But the first fire of the landing burned half of Agamemnon's men! Of course, not so many died in the flames, most of them were frightened and unwilling to attack again.

Mycenae was a country with an extremely strong religious atmosphere. After all, as the son of Atreus, Agamemnon's origin was quite "mythical".

Agamemnon was therefore very helpless, but fortunately his brother always supported him - of course, the war was caused by him after all.

"But no matter what, we also need a hearty victory to boost morale and declare that Nikki (the goddess of victory) is always on our side."

Menelaos changed the subject and said seriously

Agamemnon was undoubtedly unhappy, but he could only nod with a gloomy face. Everyone knew that he had a bad relationship with Achilles. If the soldiers only remembered the heroes, then how should the king deal with it?

"Damn it, I'll ask Achilles to go, and let Odysseus go again!" Agamemnon said angrily.

He returned to his seat, next to which was a small can of transparent liquid, which was the gasoline that had not been burned in the city of Pedas.

"Water burning with fire... such power is definitely not something the Trojans can possess." Agamemnon murmured.

"According to the legends of the Trojans, all of this was created by Xia Lang, the son of the god of fire and the demigod offspring of Hephaestus," the herald whispered.

"Xia Lang - yes, I remember the name, and I still remember the armor and weapons of the two thief princes of Troy."

As if thinking of this, Agamemnon's eyes showed a greedy expression.

When the princes of Troy visited Greece, what caused the most sensation and shock was their special armor and weapons.

As gorgeous as gold, yet more indestructible than the strongest steel. Carved with mysterious brilliance and patterns, it shines brighter than any jewel even in the darkest night.

There is also the sword in Prince Hector's hand, an indestructible treasure that can cut through any armor. The bow in Prince Paris's hand allows him to hit his target no matter what.

For any man, such a treasure is more coveted than so-called beauty and gold!

And when the princes said that their creation came from the son of Hephaestus, the god of fire, who was in Troy, people believed it.

Because only gods can forge such a creation!

"When we conquer Troy, I will take away the most precious treasures inside." Agamemnon picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in it, then made a gloomy voice.

"The son of the god of fire should serve the greatest king on earth, just as Hephaestus served the king of the gods!"

Even after encountering setbacks, Agamemnon never doubted that he would win the war!

Although...even he himself didn't know where this confidence came from.

Volume 92: Xia Lang's Various Time Travels: Chapter 89 . [Troy] Failed Negotiations

Late at night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse

Xia Lang, riding on a tall warhorse, was accompanying Hector as they stepped onto the wreckage of Pedas.

"I lived here for a while. This city doesn't bring me many good memories, but... it did give me a sense of home for a short time."

Xia Lang jumped off his horse, gently picked up the dark ashes, watched them drifting in the wind between his fingertips, and said quietly:

"If we can drive the Greeks out of Troy, we can rebuild this."

Hector said firmly. He looked at the dark city wall, closed his eyes for a moment, and then said

"It's unlikely, but I hope if we can avoid war, maybe..."

"Can you ask your brother to send Helen back?"

Xia Lang asked back, and in response to his question, Hector opened his mouth and finally lowered his head in silence.

Yes, can't do it

If Helen must be sent back, then Paris will definitely chase after her. His soul has been taken away by Helen and he can't return to the Paris he once was.

"Loving family and respecting kinship are beautiful qualities - but why does it seem despicable when it comes to rulers?"

Xia Lang sighed, looking at this kind and brave prince, but he didn't want to say anything.

He did not want to narrate any imperial mentality from his native culture because it was not suitable for this land or this country.

It is meaningless to narrate all this here. Now that the war has begun, it can only end when one side has shed all its blood.

Xia Lang did not expect this meeting to end the war, just as he never believed that Troy could enjoy peace after defeating the Greeks. Just like Rome in the war with Carthage, a temporary concession was only for the next comeback.

"We can win. As long as we win the war, all of this won't be a problem!" Hector said firmly, then looked at Xia Lang with a gentle gaze.

"Xia, you are my friend and our best helper. Everyone in Troy is grateful for your help. When the war is over, we can give you everything you want."

"Even if it's this country?" Xia Lang said jokingly.

"Okay." Hector said with a smile, facing Xia Lang's somewhat surprised eyes, looking at the starry sky under the night sky.

"My brother did something so wrong, and as an older brother, I had to cover up his mistake with my father. We should be punished, but I can't punish my father, so maybe I should punish myself."

"When we brought war to Troy, perhaps I was no longer qualified to inherit this country. I failed its people. A prince who did wrong should no longer be loved by the people."

“Maybe I can take my wife and daughter on a trip and see other parts of the world.”

Xia Lang looked at Hector in surprise. He was sure that the prince was not joking. Moreover, the calmness and longing in his eyes were not fake.

"Forget it." Xia Lang shook his head, feeling somewhat touched but also somewhat helpless.

"King or something, this terrible job should be left to people like you..."

Soon, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

As a bonfire was raised, several figures riding war horses came over, and Xia Lang put his helmet back on.

The heavy red-gold metal helmet was worn on his head, isolating all the air from the outside. It was no longer cold, but only a burning heat.

Yes, the armor Xia Lang made for himself imitated the shape of the Crucible Knight in "Elden Ring".

The Golden Tree, Godfrey, the King of Demigods, the Valkyrie. The Elden Ring and Hidetaka Miyazaki's Souls series undoubtedly borrowed a lot of elements from Norse mythology. Therefore, they were classified into the keyword "Asgard".

He chose the Crucible Knight's armor simply for the sake of looking cool. Since he's known as the son of the God of Fire, he should have some presence of his own, right?

But in the final analysis, this is just a showpiece. Apart from making him look a little more majestic, the armor is very sturdy and does not possess any magical power.

He could make the original version, but the price-performance ratio was too low and it used too many materials.

Not to mention that Xia Lang didn't want to fight, and even if he did, he had better ones.

The flames gradually got closer, and when the light illuminated each other, there was no doubt that the person coming from the other side was more shocked.

Agamemnon's eyes first greedily swept over Hector who was wearing the Isu armor, and then stopped on the Crucible Knight next to him. He was amazed and envious of such heavy, powerful and gorgeous armor.

But what shocked these Mediterranean "civilized people" even more was the Trojan Royal Guards brought by Xia Lang and Hector.

There were thirty-three people in total, all wearing the full heavy armor made for them by Xia Lang, which imitated the silver knights in Dark Soul.

Although it does not have any mysterious power, it is made of special synthetic metals that are uniformly produced using modern technology. It is light and strong, and at least it can never be broken by the fragile weapons of the Mediterranean civilization!

These thirty-three knights, together with their armored horses, brought a strong visual impact to Agamemnon and others!

Of course, anyone with a little bit of common sense knew that heavy cavalry was basically useless in a place like the Mediterranean. These royal guards were brought here just to show off and intimidate the enemy.

"Greetings, Your Majesty Agamemnon."

Hector was the first to greet. He lowered his head and his attitude was very humble, even to the point of feeling guilty.

After all... the victim is right across the street.

"A tribute? When you two brothers stole my queen from my palace and took away my wealth, I felt nothing but disgust and hatred for you!"

Menelaos spat at Hector, and in the face of this humiliation, Hector could only turn his head away in shame.

"Well, Prince Hector, you should know why we are here."

Agamemnon calmed his angry brother, stared at Hector, and said slowly:

"We are here for Helen, for the wealth that you Troy plundered from Greece, for our justice and fairness, and for the will of the gods!"

"So what do the gods and kings want from Troy?"

"Water and earth, children and iron." Agamemnon smiled

Hector clenched his fists, stared at Agamemnon and said solemnly

"This is absolutely impossible! Troy will not surrender to Greece, let alone give up our land and future!!!"

"Then let's continue the war!" Agamemnon said with a happy smile.

"Your warriors died in my flames, and their fear and anxiety filled the air on this beach."

Xia Lang, who had been silent, spoke up, staring at Agamemnon and said coldly:

"You can choose war. But you will not win. Yesterday's destruction was just the beginning, and what you are about to face will be an even more complete failure."

"...Are you the son of Hephaestus?"

Agamemnon stared at the man in heavy armor before him, laughed and held out his hand to him.

"Instead of helping Troy, why not join us in Greece? I, Agamemnon, promise you a city, even a country!"

The promise of the King of Gold is indeed sincere. If we can get the help of such craftsmen, what would be wrong if he grants us a city?

Xia Lang looked at Agamemnon in silence and said quietly

"Agamemnon, son of Atreus. Born with original sin, you claim that you were chosen by the gods to come to conquer Troy, but do you really have the gift of the gods?"

"When your great-grandfather Tantalus offered Zeus the flesh of your grandfather Pelops, did he receive favor from the gods? When your father was jealous of his brother and murdered him, and then was cursed by your grandfather, did he receive favor from the gods? And you, son of Atreus, you bear not a gift from the gods, but a curse."

This is the original sin and curse that exists in Agamemnon, the so-called king of kings in Greece. The original sin of the curse flows in his blood, and he has never been blessed by any god.

Agamemnon was never a hero, and his ending proved this point. Even though he massacred Troy, he was soon killed by his wife Clytemnestra and her lover when he returned to Mycenae.

But putting all this aside, what Xia Lang said at this moment was no less than an extreme insult to Agamemnon.

After all, isn't it true that insulting someone is exposing their shortcomings?

As expected, Agamemnon's face flushed instantly, he drew out his golden sword and roared:

"Arrogant fool! I will chop off your head and make it into a urinal! I will let your body be eaten by vultures, and your body will not be covered with anything. In the end, Charon will throw it into the abyss of Tartarus to suffer forever!"

"Haha, has the defense been breached? The king and his army who claim to be blessed by God, are led by someone who is not blessed by any god." Xia Lang sneered.

"You never come with good intentions, you bring destruction and hostility. You crave greedy war, very good, we will bring destruction to you!!!"

"kill him!!!"

Agamemnon roared angrily, and a guard beside him immediately drew his bow and shot an arrow!

However, Xia Lang easily caught the arrow in mid-air and broke it, then he took out a gun without hesitation.

A fresh American-made M1917 Smith & Wesson

Quack! How can you become a master if you have a gun but don't use it?

And I don’t know if there are gods in the sky, but they were the ones who started it first, not me!

He pulled the trigger without hesitation, and the metal bullet shot out of the gun and hit Agamemnon in the chest! He screamed and fell off his horse, and the Greek team was immediately in chaos!

"let's go!"

Xia Lang left here with Hector without hesitation. After all, this place was closer to the Greek fleet.
