Even if he warned Agamemnon to be wary of Griffith, given Agamemnon's arrogant nature, he probably wouldn't—
Thinking of this, Nestor, who didn't want to get into trouble and only wanted to win the war, sighed.
Never mind—it's none of my business!
Meanwhile, on the other side, when that old bastard Nestor finally noticed him, Night noticed the other's sharp gaze.
Seeing this old man acting like a lunatic, sometimes tense, sometimes trembling, and sometimes sighing, I wondered what Nestor was thinking.
However, if it weren't for his advanced age and low success rate, this old man, who was dedicated to reconciling Achilles and Agamemnon, would have recommended Agamemnon to select him to wear Achilles' armor and go to the battlefield.
With the help of my good brother Hector, I'll take care of this old bastard Deng.
Seeing that the old man had suddenly stopped paying attention to him, Ye also regained his composure. He noticed that the heroes arguing on the field were Diomedes, Ajax the Great, and Odysseus, and that the one most likely to be chosen from among these guys to wear Achilles' armor was the one.
Although the other heroes did not give up, their desire for the artifact diminished considerably as the competition intensified, as if they knew they would not be able to obtain it.
Some ordinary heroes who saw the situation clearly withdrew from the argument and chose to give up.
Diomedes represents the strongest mortal hero (strength), Odysseus represents the most agile mind (wisdom), and Ajax the Great represents the strongest shield (defense) in the allied forces.
All three argued their points based on their own strengths, none of them willing to yield, but Ajax the Great was the least competitive.
Although his defense is astonishing, it is all thanks to his famous Holy Shield.
The hero Achilles' forte is a meteor, swift enough to pierce through any obstacle.
If you're playing as Achilles, you definitely need to use Achilles' equipment; you can't use your own...
In this process, Ajax the Great's greatest advantage in terms of manifesting his power was diminished considerably.
Even so, Ajax the Great did not want to give up.
Until—the night, witnessing this scene, used a technique developed from the blessing of music to conceal the sound in the wind, sending it into the mind of Ajax the Great as if transmitted through a secret channel.
“If you trust me, then give up the chance to fight for the armor of Achilles, Ajax the Great.”
"Acquired Achilles' armor is not a good thing for you..."
When Yena's familiar voice suddenly reached his ears, Ajax, who was in the middle of an argument, paused and then froze.
Chapter 55 You're the Only One Who Can't Be With Us; This is a War with No Turning Back!
If anyone else had said this, Ajax the Great might not have believed it, but the suggestion itself came from Night.
After hesitating for a moment, Ajax the Great gritted his teeth and, realizing that he did not have much of an advantage in the struggle with Odysseus and Diomedes, temporarily withdrew from the competition.
At the meeting, the other heroes were surprised to see that even Ajax the Great had given up, but they also felt that they had no chance.
However, the final choice for the armor has not yet been made.
The remaining heroes were all unwilling to submit to each other.
After the meeting ended and all the heroes retreated, Ajax the Great and Night stayed behind.
Before Ajax the Great could speak, Night said, "This is not a place for conversation. Come with me."
Without hesitation, Ajax the Great followed.
When Ye led him to his tent and made sure that no one was around, at least not a mortal could overhear their conversation except for some spied gods, he was satisfied.
Night then spoke, “The hero Ajax the Great.”
Are you wondering why I'm stopping you from taking the Armor of Achilles?
Ajax the Great frowned and asked, "...Why do you say that acquiring Achilles' armor is not a good thing for me?"
Night: "Please don't be angry, my friend."
Let me explain it to you in detail.
Ajax the Great, you and Achilles are cousins by blood.
You should understand better than anyone the power of Achilles and his formidable rival, am I right?
Although he didn't understand what Night was trying to say, Ajax the Great nodded.
Then Ye Dao said, "Since you understand how powerful Achilles' enemies are, what blinds you to believe that wearing his armor and weapons will allow you to deal with enemies that even Achilles found troublesome?"
That's what they said that night.
Ajax the Great was suddenly jolted awake, a cold sweat breaking out on his back, utterly shaken.
He already knew what the night was reminding him to worry about.
If we were to name Achilles's formidable enemy, it would undoubtedly be Hector, the strongest Trojan warrior who, according to rumors, had joined forces with a certain unknown hero to defeat Achilles.
That's right——!
Even Achilles wasn't confident he could defeat the enemy. Wearing that armor would bring him more than just the glory of Achilles; it would also attract the enemy's strongest warriors on the battlefield.
If Aegis of Aegis were still in his possession, even Hector and Ajax the Great would not be afraid.
However, if Achilles were to be equipped with a full set of divine gear, even though Achilles' shield was also a good shield, it would absolutely not be able to stop Hector's terrifying throwing skills.
"You've figured it out, Ajax the Great?"
Your Divine Shield Aegis is no worse than anyone else's gear.
Why go to the trouble of seeking something far away, abandoning your own advantages, and using equipment you're not good at?
Besides, it was just a loan, and it would have to be returned to Achilles sooner or later.
You are his brother—
"If you were to don that armor, you would bear an even greater responsibility to return it intact to your brothers," Night continued softly.
His wording was very tactful.
But Ajax the Great understood.
Because I understood, I felt both incredibly scared and deeply moved at that moment.
Borrowed things must be returned. Night emphasized the word "brother," which instantly made Ajax the Great realize the truth.
While most heroes would be prepared to wear the artifact and never return it, shamelessly keeping it for themselves, he wouldn't.
He's Achilles' cousin!
When his father, uncle, aunt and other relatives found out about this, they gave him a thorough beating when they got back.
The heroic families that could hang out with Hercules and produce heroes like Achilles and Ajax the Great with decent character must have had excellent family values. There wouldn't be any disgusting dramas like brothers fighting each other or fathers and sons turning against each other over artifacts.
For a piece of equipment that can only be worn for ten days to two weeks at most, which is not even very useful, is it worth abandoning your favorite great shield and facing the crazy output of the enemy's strongest main force?!
Hiss~! !
The thought of that wonderful scene sent chills down Ajax's spine.
He shivered, then thanked the night profusely: "Thank you, Griffith...you are a hero of noble character."
If it weren't for your advice, I would have been blinded by greed and fallen into injustice.
"If I were to win the election and acquire Achilles' equipment, that would truly bring shame upon my father and his ilk."
Because of this incident, Ajax the Great's fondness for the Night skyrocketed.
This also gave Ye an opportunity to speak out against the other party.
However, unlike Achilles, who is currently at odds with Agamemnon, Night is unaware of the extent of his loyalty to the Greek military.
Revealing your true thoughts directly to them might backfire.
Under Night's deliberate guidance, the two talked a lot more, and their relationship seemed to be getting better and better. Ajax the Great also began to regard Night as a friend.
Just then, Night seemed to ask unintentionally what Ajax the Great thought about the matter of Agamemnon and Achilles.
Ajax the Great had no doubts, but was deeply saddened and grieved by what had happened to Achilles.
He said that if possible, he would even like to ask Agamemnon to return Brices to Achilles.
Due to his political stance, he couldn't bring himself to confront Agamemnon.
However, Ajax the Great did not hide the fact that his words were more inclined to side with Achilles.
There's hope!
Although Ye was delighted to see this, he did not reveal it directly, nor did he rush to extend an olive branch to Troy.
After getting a general understanding of Ajax the Great's stance and personality from just a few words of conversation, Ye made a preliminary judgment that Ajax the Great must be very dissatisfied with Agamemnon, or rather, almost all the heroes here were dissatisfied with Agamemnon.
Because of Achilles' affair, Ajax the Great's relationship with Agamemnon was worse than that with others.
This created the opportunity for him to turn against him. Later that night, he deliberately steered the conversation toward Ajax the Great's mother and discovered that Ajax the Great greatly respected and loved his mother.
They did not look down on their mother because she was taken away from them.
Then Ye asked a profound question: "Priam (the old king of Troy) is your nominal uncle."
If one day the Greek coalition conquers Troy, they will execute your uncle and aunt, as well as your cousins.
"O Ajax the Great, what choice did you make then?"
Ajax the Great shuddered, then said in a deep voice, “I will plead for them and ask King Agamemnon for forgiveness.”
All they wanted was Helen… just to find Helen.
But as he said this, Ajax the Great instinctively hesitated.
Night laughed dismissively: "After the war started, with all the manpower and resources wasted and so many lives lost on both sides, all we got in return was one woman, Ajax the Great. Do you believe that?"
Chapter 56 The Terrifying World of Singers - Personality Matches Perfectly!
It's pointless to say things you don't even believe yourself.
Ye looked heartbroken. I considered you a true brother, and I worried and cared about you.
You're trying to fool me with these high-sounding words?
Upon seeing Ye's state, Ajax the Great opened his mouth, as if to say something.
But no matter how many arguments he came up with, deep down he realized that all explanations were so pale and powerless.
He's not the type to deceive himself.
He wanted to say that King Agamemnon was not such a cruel person and that he would not do such a thing.
But in reality, how could these heroes not know what kind of person Agamemnon was?
