It can be said that without Hector's early support, he wouldn't be where he is today.

Everyone had different initial intentions in the Trojan War.

Some people go to war for glory and to fully display their talents—Achilles; some go to war for profit and territory—Agamemnon; and some go for beauty and face—Paris.

Hector, however, had only one reason for fighting: to protect his country and his loved ones. This man owed no one anything, yet he was drawn into a brutal battle and ultimately met a tragic end.

Changing the outcome of the Trojan War might be difficult, as it involved the attitudes of the gods behind it, but at the very least, he wanted to protect Hector in this war.

Night gladly accepted Hector's invitation, cherishing this rare moment of peace.

"Then what are we waiting for, my brother?" Ye stood up. At this moment, his body was already unharmed. Even with the weakness buff, he had recovered to a physical level far exceeding that of a strong Trojan soldier.

He had already come to regard Hector as a brother.

After confirming that Night was indeed completely healed, Hector gave Night a tight hug, marveling at it as a miracle.

Perhaps there really are gods protecting the night.

This reminded Hector of the miracle he had witnessed in Thebes that day.

Then he smiled at Ye and said, "By the way, I said if we come back alive, I will introduce my beautiful sister to you."

What do you think of Chrysei?

When Hector suddenly spoke up, even Chrysei and the others standing nearby were slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting to be the subject of their gossip.

Her face flushed slightly, and her pale complexion, which had been affected by Brises's situation, had improved considerably.

Night looked at Chrysei's swan-like neck, her crystal earlobes completely red.

In Greece, it's not uncommon for heroes to rescue damsels in distress, and for the damsels to fall in love with the heroes.

Based on her previous interactions, Chryseis doesn't seem to be averse to him... There's hope!

Night: "Crysei is naturally beautiful. If it weren't for the fact that the war is not yet over, I think I would be unable to resist pursuing her."

But they had just remained silent and ignored others' pleas for help...

Ye had no intention of shamelessly continuing to flirt with the other person, especially since in Greece—approaching beautiful women was a very dangerous thing.

They are easily drawn into crises that may even involve divine intervention.

In mythology, Apollo was very fond of his priestess.

If he really did steal Chryseis, who knows what kind of interesting expression that sun god would have when he turned around.

On the other hand, Chryseis was somewhat powerless against the praise she received from Night, her hero.

She hurriedly said that she was going back to the new temple of Apollo, the god of light, which had been temporarily built in Troy, and did not intend to attend the banquet with Ye and the others.

However, Hector suddenly suggested that Ye should first go to the Temple of Apollo to pay his respects.

The fact that Night received Apollo's blessing was an open secret among Hector and others.

Worshiping Apollo?!

Without much hesitation, Ye nodded in agreement.

He should indeed thank Apollo, who gave him a life-saving ability, so it's not unreasonable for him to offer him a sacrifice.

Although Ye initially had no intention of believing in gods.

“Understood, then I will lead the way. Lord Apollo will surely be delighted by your arrival.” Chryseis had regained some composure by now, and a rare smile returned to her face.

After all—that deity is very fond of the hero.

Then, led by Chryseis, the candidate priestess, the group soon arrived at the newly built temple.

Due to the ongoing war, the new temple was deserted with no worshippers, except for the three members of Night.

Chrysaeus first told Night and Hector to wait a moment, then she gracefully approached the statue of Apollo, knelt down devoutly, and began a prayer that Night and Hector did not understand—

It appears to be a prayer method specifically learned by shrine maidens.

Chapter Six: So why, why can't the reinforcements be 'me'?

When the midday sun shines through the open-air roof into the temple, it makes the statues appear somewhat sacred, as if they have come alive.

Ye looked at the face of the Apollo sculpture and noticed that it was somewhat different from the twelve Olympian gods in the Roman Forum.

It is unclear whether humans cannot see the face of the gods and thus shape the sculptures based on their own imagined appearances, or whether people's perception of the gods' faces has changed over the long course of history.

Whether this sculpture is the true face of Apollo is unclear, but one thing he is very clear about is that the Apollo of this world can still descend!

The night was slightly tense, and he waited until Chrysaeus finished praying, but Apollo did not appear, which made him relax a little.

It seems Apollo wasn't just idle; he descended to earth every time he prayed. In fact, this is quite normal.

The last time Thebes prayed together, it wasn't just the witches who prayed, but also countless civilians and soldiers he had saved.

When Chrysei finished, Hector asked her what she had just prayed to the gods for.

Chryseis told the two directly that she had prayed to God to save her sister, but had not received a response from the Lord God.

This further diminished the hope in Chrysei's eyes.

The fact that both heroes and gods refused to help her rescue her sister proved that rescuing her sister was more difficult than she had imagined, which inevitably plunged her heart into despair.

Chryseis smiled gently and told the two that she was alright.

And now Hector and Night can pray too. They are not witches; if they have anything they want to say to the gods, they can simply close their eyes and think it in their hearts.

Hector repeatedly assured Chryseis that he would rescue Brises.

But everyone present already knew what was being said; they could only listen—

Even someone as powerful as Hector couldn't possibly rescue Brices alone from the allied forces unless Troy could completely annihilate the enemy right now, in which case there would still be a chance to save Brices.

However, Troy only held the advantage at the moment, and the opportunity to completely destroy Greece was still far off. Hector, who was well-versed in military affairs, could naturally see this and would not be as blindly confident as his father and brothers.

When Hector and Chryseido appeared to be in low spirits.

Ye also felt unwell and fell silent.

He considered Hector a brother, so naturally he wouldn't stand by and watch his sister die, but he didn't have the ability to do so.

According to the original myth, Brises had simply fallen into the hands of Achilles and might have had a good life for a while, since Achilles was genuinely in love with her and even dared to draw his sword against the king of his overlord for the sake of a woman.

In one version, Achilles did not even die on the front lines.

Instead, it was because he fell in love with Hector's sister that Achilles went alone to Troy to rescue his beloved girl when the Greek army had the upper hand and wanted to massacre the city. He was trapped in the enemy camp and was ambushed by Paris, who shot him in the ankle.

But now Briseis has fallen directly into the hands of that old lecher Agamemnon, and Apollo doesn't seem to be responding anymore? Let alone the fact that Troy will ultimately have a hard time winning, even if they do win, by the time the war ends, they'll probably be heavily pregnant.

etc--

war……

Ye suddenly thought of a crucial issue that she had overlooked, and an idea flashed through her mind.

That was after seeing Chryseis's disappointed and worried face with reddened eyes after her repeated pleas went unanswered, and after seeing Hector constantly comforting her, though his own voice was trembling and he seemed powerless.

Even this true man, who fears not even demigods, must be confused at times.

After seeing all this, one question inevitably came to mind: Is there any hope for Brices?

There might be an answer!

The Greek coalition was not a monolithic entity, especially since Achilles might have already beheaded Agamemnon if it weren't for Athena's arrival.

If done correctly, you can even turn your heel to the side.

To be honest, many of the Greek states did not have much animosity towards Troy. Many of them were simply drawn in by Agamemnon, the King of Mycenae, who wanted to bolster his brother's prestige and find an excuse to invade Troy.

There are countless examples of Achilles disguising himself as a woman, and the wicked Helios feigning madness in an attempt to escape conscription.

If Achilles hadn't lost his memory during a romantic encounter and lent his armor to his best friend, leading Hector to mistake him for Achilles and kill him, Achilles wouldn't have become such a bitter enemy of Hector.

Essentially, the conflict between the two sides was not yet irreconcilable at this point, and they even had a common enemy—Agamemnon.

If someone could infiltrate the allied forces and persuade Achilles and Hector to cooperate from the inside, with the two strongest heroes of Greece and Troy present, who could stop them from saving someone, as long as the gods didn't personally intervene?

even--

Night suddenly realized something.

I realized a blind spot in my perspective that I had overlooked.

Wait a minute, since the gods want to balance the power between Greece and Troy, they will eventually send reinforcements to support Greece.

So, to avoid the gods descending to earth so early, why can't that reinforcement be 'me'?!

! ! ! !

Boom! Instantly, like lightning piercing the darkness, my mind suddenly became active and exploded, and I was reborn.

Whenever she's in a simulated universe, without any worries, Ye always has some wildly imaginative and daring ideas.

This time, another crazy idea was born, and he just couldn't resist it.

Previously, he was just an unknown ordinary soldier. Coupled with the chaotic environment of war, whether in Greece or Troy, probably only Hector and Achilles truly recognized his face.

Others don't have a strong impression of me.

By infiltrating the enemy ranks, not only could he rescue Brises, but he could also obtain information about the Greek army's movements, thus helping Troy seize the opportunity as a mole.

They might even deliberately cause some disruption...

If there is an opportunity to kill Agamemnon directly, making this war completely meaningless, then the biggest warring party will be eliminated at the source.

The remaining group of heroes didn't want to fight. Even the gods couldn't force these heroes to go and die!

At that time, Troy might not have to perish, and even if they wanted to find someone to establish Rome, they could have thought of other ways.

Agamemnon's importance to the gods needs no further explanation.

Otherwise, given her wicked nature, Athena, the wise and kind goddess who deeply loves humanity, wouldn't have personally descended to earth for this idiot.

As a goddess of virginity, and as a deity who hates oppressing women and treating them as playthings, it's already a miracle that Athena didn't just kill Agamemnon outright.

Although Agamemnon was not a very good person, his status as the King of Mycenae was very important.

The Spartan king alone could not possibly have gathered so many heroes.

The gods need him, which is why they protect him.

However, with the gods watching over him from time to time, did he have a chance to kill this old guy?
