In your account, why haven't we heard anything about him again? Didn't he step forward to snipe Hector?
Chapter Four: Even his heels are covered in green hats; he's in a state of impotent rage, there's no saving him now.
Although Achilles was injured, Ye knew very well that his injuries were not nearly as serious as his own and that Achilles should have recovered long ago.
With its strength, if it appeared on the battlefield, Hector would have no time to spare for anything else.
Let alone rescuing people or sending people to seek support—
Even if several more Amazon queens and armies were to arrive, they would not be able to suppress the army with Achilles on the main battlefield.
Achilles, the invincible hero of steel, was so powerful that even with a hero as strong as Hector, the Trojans dared not launch an attack and could only cower in the city of Troy.
The number of mortals is nothing but lambs to the slaughter in the face of a hero of this caliber, posing no threat whatsoever. With him around, how could the Greek coalition be at a disadvantage?
When Achilles was mentioned, Night noticed—
The priestess in front of him, Chryseis, changed her expression slightly, looking sad and worried, as if she was recalling something bad.
"Achilles—he did not appear on the battlefield. It is said that he had a falling out with Agamemnon and would no longer participate in the Trojan War."
Night: Huh?!
Ye was suddenly stunned.
Wait, Achilles has left the stage?
This hero, arguably the most troublesome for the Greek side in the early game, was the enemy's strongest damage dealer before the gods themselves entered the fray, and was eliminated prematurely.
"What exactly is the reason? Do you know?" Ye asked hurriedly.
Chrysei hesitated for a moment, then finally told the truth he had heard secondhand.
"It's probably because of my sister, Brices..."
Chrysei (translated as Chrysei or Chrysei) had slightly red eyes, and then began to recount her story to Ye.
In the Battle of Thebes, although the Greek army and Achilles were ultimately defeated by Night and Hector.
However, during the retreat, her sister Brices was captured by the enemy.
What happened afterward subtly altered the course of history known only to Ye.
If both sisters were captured, then when Achilles returned and Agamemnon received the spoils of war, he would take the elder sister Chryseis, while Achilles would receive the younger sister Brises.
But now they've only managed to snatch one of her sisters, Brices.
The woman who could catch the eye of the great hero Achilles, whose mother was a sea nymph, must have had her sister Brices's beauty to speak for itself.
Even though Ye has only seen the older sister so far, from the beautiful young woman in front of him who is not much less beautiful than Helena, he can guess how pretty the younger sister is from just a glimpse.
Achilles and Agamemnon clashed fiercely because they both fell for the same woman...
However, tempted by her beauty, Agamemnon, as the commander of the allied forces, disregarded Achilles's objections and anger and abducted Brises.
This thoroughly enraged Achilles, who simply withdrew from the Greek coalition and even prepared to return home.
Wait, Ye suddenly remembered—
In the original heroic tales, Achilles also seems to have had a conflict with Agamemnon because of Brises.
That was after Agamemnon was forced to return Chryseis. Having lost his sister, he simply took away his sister Briseis, who was already an Achilles, causing Achilles to leave the battlefield in anger for a period of time.
Later, the Greeks realized that without Achilles they could not defeat their opponents, so they pleaded and begged him to come back.
However, due to the unequal distribution of spoils, Achilles left the Greek side prematurely.
No wonder Troy gained the upper hand so quickly!
At this point, Chrysei, deeply worried about her sister, burst into tears: "My poor sister Brises, she is alone deep in the enemy camp, being fought over by two men..."
Like a piece of merchandise, the men treated it as their spoils of war, dividing it up at will.
Nobody cares about her own thoughts at all.
Chrysei did not call those people heroes; perhaps in her mind, they were not worthy of the title.
Suddenly—
Chrysei rose and bowed deeply to the night, then suddenly knelt down, clasped her hands together, and prayed devoutly—
"Although I know this request is unreasonable, please help me and save my sister Brices."
My lord hero...
If it is you who have been chosen by Lord Apollo.
night:……!
He was slightly moved; it wasn't that he didn't want to help.
However, he is currently powerless to fulfill this request.
Briseis is trapped deep within enemy territory. The plan is to infiltrate the enemy camp, find Briseis who is being held captive, and help him escape. Along the way, they might encounter other heroes sniping them. This is a complicated situation—
Let alone him, even the demigod Achilles would have a hard time doing this.
When Brises was first abducted, Achilles wanted to draw his sword and kill Agamemnon, but even Athena descended to earth to stop Achilles and save Agamemnon's life.
Even that demigod could only accept being cuckolded and be filled with impotent rage. What could he possibly do?
I remember that after Achilles returned home this time, he went to complain to his mother.
The sea nymph Thetis, who was also hot-tempered, immediately went to Zeus for help when she heard that her daughter-in-law had been taken away.
Because Thetis had once asked the Hundred-Handed Giants to help Zeus in the War of the Gods, Zeus did not refuse. Originally supporting the Greeks, he turned around and prepared to teach Agamemnon a lesson first.
For the time being, the gods might allow Troy to suppress Greece for a while, letting Agamemnon suffer, and they might not offer any assistance.
But Greek reinforcements will arrive sooner or later, it's just a matter of time.
At this moment, in reality, I see the silent night.
Chrysei's heart sank to the bottom, but she chose to understand...
"I'm sorry, hero, I've put you in a difficult position."
Perhaps I should ask Lord Apollo for help.
Saving Briseis is indeed a very difficult task.
I shouldn't expect you to perform such a miracle.
A miracle?
Heroes exist to create miracles.
But I am not a hero—
Although he owed Chrysei nothing and had even saved her life, he watched helplessly as the longing, trust, and expectation in her eyes gradually faded, and she seemed to regain her composure.
—The other party must be very disappointed now.
Thinking of this, Ye, who was regarded as a hero and expected to be a hero by others, felt that this trust was too heavy.
But should we place our hopes on ethereal deities?
Although Apollo was indeed effective—he actually did go to the rescue and successfully saved Chryseis in the original history—Brises was not able to be brought back.
Even if Apollo were willing to help, how much time would it take for him to slowly unleash the plague and inflict heavy losses on the enemy soldiers?
Even if we manage to get Brises back, there's no guarantee she won't be coming back heavily pregnant.
After all, according to the description, Brises in the original work had clearly lost her virginity and was no longer qualified to be a priestess of the gods.
It's been some time since Brises was kidnapped, and with each passing day, the chances of Brises's purity succumbing increase, and the hope of rescue decreases...
Chapter Five introduces his sister without hesitation; Hector is truly a brother!
If this land were Rome—with the blessing of Roman land, Ye might still have a chance—but now it's clearly a doomed situation.
Just then, footsteps came from the door, and Hector's delighted voice immediately rang in Ye's ears.
"Thanks to the great gods, my brother—you have finally awakened."
Hector, having just entered the room, saw Chryseis, who was still standing...
Realizing something was abruptly, he was in an awkward position, unsure whether to leave or come back in. At this moment, Hector had already stepped halfway into the room.
Chrysei, on the other hand, rose very gracefully and bowed elegantly.
"Your Highness Hector..."
The hero has just awakened, and I imagine you must have a lot to say to him.
"Crystis will not disturb your reminiscing any longer." With that, Chrystis wisely prepared to leave.
However, Hector stopped her: "I've told you so many times, you don't need to call me Your Highness."
Just call me brother like Paris does.
It seems I came at the wrong time.
Chryseido, is it because of Brises—”
Upon hearing her sister's name, Chrysei's expression immediately darkened, revealing a palpable sense of desolation.
Hector clenched his fists and said in a deep voice, "Please give me some time, Chryseis—"
Brices is also my sister, and I will not abandon her rescue efforts.
Chrysei nodded slightly and expressed her heartfelt gratitude to her brother.
Although they are cousins, given the status of women in Greece, how many men truly care about women's feelings?
Even family members are no exception—Paris, for example, has hardly ever visited Chryseis.
After comforting his sister, Hector looked at Night, overjoyed to see him there again…
This way, he wouldn't lose another brother!
He had already lost many of his people in this war and was unwilling to lose another brother who had shared life and death with him.
Night could tell that Hector was genuinely happy for himself and kept boasting that because of him, the situation in Troy was starting to improve. Night also deserved credit for the rescued fighting force of the surrounding city-states and the Amazon queen who had been successfully persuaded to join the fight.
The king was holding a victory banquet, and he wanted to take Ye to meet his brothers and sisters.
This touched Ye's heart. From the very beginning, it was he who had truly received immense help.
