Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Night: "Don't run away from this issue. If you are not Agamemnon's lackey, then we have no position to be enemies now."

"Since you have fled this war, you have no reason to be my enemy, as I am still a friend of Telephorus, the son of Hercules and a follower of the moon goddess."

Achilles' heart stirred slightly.

Telefose's friend...

He remembered the man he had sympathized with on the battlefield.

Night's persistent questioning silenced him.

His stance—?

Achilles frowned: "I once angrily told Agamemnon that I did not want to be looked down upon and should stay here to increase his wealth!"

Therefore, that scoundrel Agamemnon calmly declared: 'I will personally come to your tent and take away your reward, the beautiful Brises, so that you will clearly know how much better I am than you, and so that others will be careful not to appear like you and openly defy me.'

Now you should understand how irreconcilable Agamemnon and I are.

Achilles' words have already revealed his position.

Ling Ye then remembered that there seemed to be such a thing in the epic.

—From this perspective alone, the reason for Achilles's departure from Agamemnon was not solely due to Brises; he may not have cared much about Brises at all.

Achilles' current anger seems to stem purely from Agamemnon's humiliation of him, which is why he is determined not to allow Agamemnon to take Brises away.

This is a righteous and courageous young man.

He originally had high hopes and expectations for the battlefield, wanting to make a name for himself there.

But it turned out that war was not a good thing—

His military force became a tool for Agamemnon to acquire money and spoils of war.

He became an executioner with blood on his hands.

What he longed for was a battle like Telefous's, where courage, awareness, strength, and wisdom were staked, and all efforts were made to fight.

Even a fleeting, brilliant bloom, like a shooting star, is enough.

But it is clear that Agamemnon was not suited to be the lord of such a devoted man.

Achilles' answer pleased the night, or rather—

It makes me feel even more sorry for the original mythological story.

If it weren't for Patroclus's death, Achilles would never have served someone like Agamemnon.

Even though the sun set three times, Achilles was able to turn the tide every time he stepped onto the battlefield, changing the course of several key battles and allowing the defeated Greeks to turn the tide completely.

Such a brilliant hero ended up cleaning up Agamemnon's messes and even died on the battlefield.

Night also remembered something—

In the myth, Agamemnon was eventually forced to submit by Odysseus and others, returning Brises to Achilles and apologizing in person.

But Achilles remained unmoved.

Perhaps he truly didn't care about female slaves or wealth, but simply wanted to prevent Agamemnon from further infringing upon his dignity and honor.

Night: "Very well—it seems we have a common enemy. In that case, why turn your weapon against me, Achilles?"

Don't you want to take revenge on Agamemnon? Don't you want to defend your dignity and honor with your own hands?

You are so upright and unyielding.

To realize your ambitions, you bid farewell to your parents and resolutely came to this battlefield against their wishes.

But as long as Agamemnon lives, you will not obtain what you desire: the true glory and dignity of a warrior.

Why not come with me? Why come with us?

Like Hector, you possess an incredibly warm and kind heart.

It shouldn't be hopping alone on the desolate shore.

Go back to where you belong, Achilles.

You were born for the battlefield—yet Agamemnon won't let you display your talents.

Then let's fight in a different way. Even if it's just for your dignity and honor, let's live a new life freely.

free--?

It must be said that Ye's words had some impact on Achilles.

Although it didn't preach any grand principles, it did help Achilles see his own heart clearly.

It doesn't matter how many words are spoken, but what's important is that they touched the heart.

Especially the last line—Achilles remembered the song of that morning.

Originally trapped in a dark world, I felt as if I had transformed into a bird, grown a bunch of wings, and flew freely into the sky.

No longer hindered by any shackles, they are free to do what they want.

He can laugh out loud to his heart's content, fight, and bravely defend his honor and self-respect with the weapons in his hands.

There, no goddess like Athena would stand in your way.

Achilles, a fierce man who dared to draw his sword and kill Agamemnon in a fit of extreme rage, was by no means a blindly loyal follower of the so-called King of Kings.

Rather, it's more accurate to say he was quite rebellious!

From the very beginning of his epic tale, he rebelled against his parents and joined the war.

He then rebelled against his lord—and nearly beheaded Agamemnon.

Then—defying his destiny, ignoring his mother's repeated advice, he resolutely stepped onto the battlefield to avenge his dearest friend.

He was rebellious by nature—but his flaws did not outweigh his merits, and his rebellion was unique, so that everything he did could be seen as a struggle against fate.

A long and uneventful life, or a spectacular death—people generally believe he chose the latter.

But is it possible that he didn't have a choice between any of them?

Achilles remained silent, but his eyes seemed to burn with a bright flame, and he could not calm down for a long time.

Chapter Sixty-Two: The Ruthless and Silent Demigod: Let's go and kill Agamemnon!

Night extended one of his hands and smiled, "Join us, Achilles."

"There is no stage for you here. Your value should never be buried in this forgotten corner."

Achilles: "Hmph—!"

At the last moment, Achilles hesitated.

To be honest, as a demigod whose mother was a sea nymph, she wasn't worried at all about the consequences of rebelling against Agamemnon.

Other kings might worry about being punished by their suzerain state for rebelling, but his mother is a goddess.

His father was the grandson of Zeus, the father of the gods.

With this family background, they are far superior to the kings of ordinary small countries who have long forgotten how rare the bloodline of gods is.

Agamemnon would have to think twice before he dared to touch him.

But even so—Achilles still hesitated whether or not to board the pirate ship of the night.

He had never even considered the idea of ​​directly defecting to the enemy camp.

However, he still held Ye's hand.

Then: "I need to think about it—give me some time."

Night: "I can wait, but Patroclus has no time to wait, Achilles."

Are you really sure you've thought this through?

Achilles was startled—then his face darkened.

Right, the other party hasn't told me yet how to persuade Patcross.

He gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean?"

Ye said calmly, "As an enemy, I have no right to help you."

Unless you are my friend, my companion—

Achilles, there's no such thing as a free lunch; you should understand that.

Achilles understood—he needed to make his stance clear.

Achilles, whose resolve had already begun to waver, was now consumed by rage from Agamemnon's further humiliation—

This time, he readily agreed.

"Okay, I can be your partner."

Why don't we just charge out now?!

"I will persuade Patroclus and Ajax the Great to join us!" Achilles said, never one to mince words.

He suddenly understood—!

Since Patroclus might be killed by Trojan heroes if he went to the battlefield, he decided to lead his men to defect to Troy.

As long as I defect quickly enough, swords and death will not befall me.

Achilles' eyes flashed with murderous intent!

They even considered taking the opportunity to behead Agamemnon.

Wasn't Agamemnon supposed to use his armor to intimidate the enemy? He wanted to make Agamemnon lose out instead of gaining an advantage.

grass--!

I never would have guessed Achilles was such a hot-tempered and reckless man.

Ye was immediately filled with black lines—

However, given that the other party was so cooperative and even took the initiative to persuade other heroes to join, Ye wholeheartedly agreed.

But Ajax the Great went—

Let's forget about Pat Cross.
