Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

To save or not to save—

He chose not to save her.

But after the night's reminder, both publicly and privately,

Knowing that surrounding cities might be under crisis

This upright hero could not stand idly by.

Whether it's out of a desire to avoid alienating other allies,

Whether it was out of a desire to save his wife and her family,

Even heroes have their own desires, and Hector certainly didn't want to see the sun god turn his anger on Troy because the maidens who served him were defiled!

Is this battlefield not chaotic enough already?

If the gods themselves were to intervene...

The problem became increasingly serious and the situation spiraled out of control...

then--

Then Night and Hector began to discuss,

The final decision was to secretly dispatch multiple small groups of troops in batches during the night.

To the greatest extent possible, warn other cities before the Greeks take action.

Tell them to prepare their defenses...and support each other!

Chapter Thirteen Paris: Bro, you're invincible! Let me give you a shout-out!

For cities that are far away, there's nothing that can be done.

But the nearby cities

The goal was to have soldiers stationed in the local cities protect the people as they migrated to Troy.

In ancient Greece, a small city had a population of less than a few thousand.

It's not uncommon to find cities with only a few hundred people...

The ancestors of the Trojans would travel with vast amounts of treasure and livestock, and wherever the livestock lay down, they would hastily decide where to establish their kingdom.

People in this era can build a city however they please.

Therefore, these surrounding cities,

Rather than a city,

However, it lacked the spectacular scenery and large population of the magnificent cities of later generations.

Just a few hundred or a few thousand people

They acted quickly enough before the Greek coalition could react, and with the support of soldiers from Troy, they were able to secure their positions.

It's actually quite possible to succeed...

Regardless, leaving them out in the open would expose them to the ever-present threat of a 160,000-strong Greek coalition army.

A single spit from each of them could bury their little mounds.

Other cities didn't have walls made of such sturdy materials as Troy's.

Even more divine protection...

all in all,

Migrating might mean dying on the way, but not migrating would inevitably mean death or even slavery...

You have successfully persuaded Hector.

The day passed quickly.

After failing to capture Troy, the Greek coalition temporarily retreated to the coast to rest and discuss countermeasures.

At this time, the Greeks were unaware of your plans.

As midnight approaches,

You and Hector put on your armor and, under the cover of night,

He led a small force away from Troy without being discovered.

But later, when other small groups of troops left to spread the message to surrounding cities,

The Greek scouts spotted them but did not make any rash moves.

They only watched from afar.

The pioneering cavalrymen reported the strange actions on the Trojan side back to the leaders of the allied forces—Odysseus and others.

This alarmed many Greek kings, led by Agamemnon.

I thought you were planning a night raid.

They then increased nighttime patrols and defenses.

Because of the darkness, and because the vanguard cavalry dared not get too close,

They failed to notice that many of these small groups of troops were heading in the opposite direction from the Greek army's base.

When the Greek army discovered the discrepancy in numbers...

These small groups of troops were far from being a threat to Greece.

Odysseus personally led a team and intercepted a small squad.

The Greeks have discovered your plan.

They were quite shocked...

They believed that if people from other cities were allowed to meet with Troy,

Troy will become even more difficult to conquer.

In order to eliminate Troy's 'reinforcements' and reduce Troy's manpower (Habeda).

Under Odysseus's orders,

Greece resumed its original course of action.

The Greek army began its march on the cities surrounding Troy.

【However--

Just after Achilles and several other powerful heroes led their troops away,

In Troy, after Hector had already informed them,

Paris, who had been waiting for a long time, saw the Greeks split up and led Trojan soldiers out of the city to launch a surprise attack on the rear of the Greek camp.

The Greeks, caught off guard, suffered thousands of casualties.

Odysseus was almost wounded by Paris's arrow...

By the time the Greeks realized what was happening and angrily wanted to turn back and wipe out the Trojan army,

Under the cover of night, the Trojans, who were very familiar with the terrain of their homeland, did not linger in battle.

After reaping the spoils, they ran back to Troy and hid.

Enraged, Odysseus led his army in pursuit once more, but after four unsuccessful sieges,

Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately calmed down and led his soldiers to retreat and re-guard the shore.

After this sneak attack,

The Greek coalition forces dared not further divide their troops.

But they thought Hector was still in the city.

Given Hector's defensive tactics, they would have found it difficult to conquer Troy before dividing their forces.

It goes without saying that after the troops were split up.

Unsure of their ability to capture Troy, Odysseus and his companions were thus tied down and remained outside the city.

at this time--

Inside Troy,

The hero Paris is drinking and celebrating his victory with his brothers.

"Hahaha! As expected of Brother Hector!"

Those Greeks really didn't expect us to launch a surprise attack...

unfortunately,

If it weren't for my elder brother's request...

I want to kill a few more Greeks.

"If only I could shoot through the heads of Odysseus and Menelaus."

At this moment, Paris, who was at the head of the celebration banquet, was extremely excited and delighted.

After being pinned down by the Greeks for so long, they finally managed to launch a counterattack.

They won by a narrow margin.

How could I not be happy?!

The last time the Greeks sent Odysseus to negotiate with Menelaus;

Paris, who already regarded Helen and the treasure he had seized from the King of Sparta as symbols of his achievements and glory,

I will not allow these two petty thieves to covet my wealth.

That was what he deserved, a gift from the goddess...

Paris would show no mercy to any enemy who coveted his treasures, given the chance.

pity--

This time, they almost hit Odysseus, the military commander of the allied forces.
