Simulate the universe, starting with speedrunning Greek.

Even the heroes who were fiercely opposed to King Agamemnon and Hector fell silent.

It's worth mentioning that neither side's deities intervened during this process, and they seemed to be observing from the sidelines.

However, the situation on the field did not improve.

Ye also knew that pure violent suppression alone was not very effective, unless he could continue to suppress the enemy indefinitely, which also meant considering the possibility that the gods might be secretly sabotaging things from the shadows.

and so--

The real conflict between Troy and Greece was nothing more than a territorial dispute.

Essentially, it meant that Greece needed an outpost in this land with the powerful Hittite Empire (its neighbor) that it could use to deal with, and that it could attack or retreat as needed.

One side wanted to completely conquer Troy, make it their vassal state, and use it as a vanguard against the Hittite Empire.

The other side, on the other hand, is desperately defending its territorial sovereignty, and this is the real irreconcilable contradiction between the two sides.

It had little to do with the amount of money. Even if Troy could have offered money, Greece wouldn't have so easily given up the invasion of Troy, but would have made other, unrealistic demands.

So, what Ye needs to do is actually very simple; there's only one thing.

To draw a line between Greece and Troy that both sides could temporarily agree upon.

Forced by the power of the night and its close relationship with it, the night, in the name of the suffering people, demanded that both sides cease hostilities and redefine national borders.

King Agamemnon eventually agreed to the demarcation of the boundary line.

But his true nature remained that of a brutal and aggressive king.

So he made a very difficult request: drawing a boundary line was possible... but since both sides had only agreed to shake hands and make peace and redefine the borders because they feared Griffith's power.

So let's start redistributing the land, using the entire coastline around Troy as the dividing line.

Wherever Griffith's power extends, Agamemnon can step back and promise never to invade the lands under his protection again.

But even Griffith couldn't possibly protect every place at the same time.

and so--

“Let us begin with the land beneath our feet—as long as your power proves it can cover and protect the area, I, as the sovereign of Greece and King of Mycenae, promise that I will never again send a single soldier to set foot within this area of ​​Troy,” Agamemnon declared.

He didn't actually necessarily need to completely conquer Troy, but rather wanted to have his own outpost on this coast.

Historically, Agamemnon originally intended to turn Troy into this outpost, but was refused. Troy, relying on its natural advantage of being separated by the sea, did not take the threat from this Greek overlord seriously.

Unexpectedly, Agamemnon failed to gain loyalty and instead launched his own attack.

I originally thought that Troy, such a small country, would be conquered quickly, but I didn't expect that in the original story, the battle was dragged out for ten years before it ended.

They utterly destroyed the economy of the ambitious Mycenaean king's country, and even after their eventual victory, the nation was no longer capable of undertaking any further expeditions.

In short, Agamemnon's true objective was to establish a port along the coast of this continent, which was almost entirely occupied by Troy, allowing for easy access at any time.

But this brings up the issue of territory, and no country can tolerate the loss of its own territory.

Agamemnon made this request because he believed that although Griffith could protect a port or even a city, his power could not possibly cover the entire 8,000-kilometer stretch of the current Trojan coastline, which would later become the famous Turkish coastline.

Even by boat, the voyage would take several days to complete.

Although Troy was a small country, its coastline was comparable to that of several Greek countries combined.

Even with Griffith's considerable power, they could only back down, but Griffith was just one person; he was not a god, and even a god could not protect every place!

When Agamemnon revealed his true intentions.

Hector's face darkened, and he was about to refuse, thinking it was simply impossible.

King Agamemnon did not genuinely desire peace.

Aside from cities that offer shelter at night, are we not going to want any other places?

As long as the other side does not agree to a peace treaty for other places, they can attack again at any time if they want.

The signing of this peace treaty would be meaningless.

However—to Hector's surprise, such an outrageous request...

"Do you believe me?" Night simply asked Hector.

He already has a solution.

If Hector chooses to believe him, the other party will definitely not be disappointed in the end.

Agamemnon was still careless.

He simply didn't understand just how outrageous the concept of a 'Griffith-level' hero really was.

A hero is someone who cannot be judged by ordinary standards.

Hector remained silent.

Such a matter of national importance...!

he--

"If you don't speak, I'll take that as your agreement. So—do either side have any further objections? If not, then so be it. Are you sure—that everything within my reach belongs to Troy, Agamemnon? From this day forward, Greece shall not seize even an inch of it. At the same time—Troy shall not, in turn, harass Greece! Is that all?"

Night smiled and looked at the two of them.

The final announcement was made that night, and the surrounding people were in an uproar. Even the Trojan soldiers in the distance heard the voice of the night.

When this information was passed down, everyone was shocked.

How could the life and death of a nation be decided by one person?

Or in such a childish way? Even if that person is Griffith! But how much of Troy's power can this hero truly protect?

Could Griffith, a mere mortal, accomplish something that even the gods don't know if they can do?

If the gods could protect their kingdoms from harm, many kingdoms protected by the gods would not still be engulfed in war.

That's why the people of Troy were panicked.

'Where is Lord Hector?! Did he agree?'

'And what about Lord Paris? Aren't they going to object?'

"Madmen!!! They're trying to destroy Troy!"

Chapter 220 Hermes: No need for the Goddess of Justice to summon me, I've come myself!!!

Rebuttal? What can you use to refute it...?

If these heroes knew what their subordinates were thinking, they would surely have a lot to say.

The man before me possessed unparalleled strength.

After witnessing the devastating attack from Obelisk the Titan, the Trojan heroes were utterly demoralized and lost all will to fight.

Even Aeneas, who had previously felt humiliated, now felt that they were indeed unworthy to mess with such a powerful warrior.

With no hope of defeating Griffith and Hector, their leader, remaining silent, the heroes' morale was low, and none of them dared to object.

But they all stared wide-eyed at Hector.

Such an outrageous request, the eldest prince probably won't agree to it.

And at this moment—'Do you believe it, or do you not?'

Reason told Hector that he should refuse such a thing immediately.

But a strong intuition and a deep feeling kept him from speaking.

This intuition is absurd and without any basis.

Did he subconsciously believe that Griffith's power could protect all of Troy?

What Hector didn't know was that, compared to his own confusion and distress, King Agamemnon was suffering even more.

Is there really a way?

He was the one who believed more than anyone else that Griffith was a hero capable of creating miracles.

Having witnessed many miracles and firmly believing in them, Agamemnon suddenly realized he had made a mistake when he saw how readily the night agreed.

Did I make the wrong request?

But Agamemnon also wondered how to solve this problem if he didn't stay up all night.

But at that moment, he had no idea that the person staying overnight was about to engage in a literary game with him, especially—

King Agamemnon's demand was that all areas within the reach and scope of Griffith's power belong to Troy's territory.

So--

That night he said, "Before proving that my power is sufficient to protect all of Troy, I ask you this: what is the final defined area, the circular region with the radius of the furthest point of this land that my attack can reach? Do you agree?"

...Agamemnon carefully considered the matter and ultimately had no objection.

Even Hector's throwing skills could not possibly cross eight thousand miles of coastline.

Even if it were only 1,000 li, let alone 8,000 li, it would be a monster among monsters.

Even in the age of gods, Greece, where monsters were rampant, this was the case.

An attack that can travel thousands of miles at high speed without falling down must ultimately cause terrifying damage and astonishing destruction, not to mention the immense force required to accomplish such a feat.

If such a feat could be accomplished, it would be as absurd as the legendary Hercules, who was said to have been able to lift a piece of the sky in his mortal days.

Even if it falls short compared to supporting the sky, it is still an absolute bug that humans cannot understand.

soon--

News spread that Griffith would define Troy's new borders with a single blow.

Even the wicked sense of humor of some deities meant that the news, barely born, had already spread like wildfire to the city-state of Troy.

Even in the information age of the future, this speed is extremely absurd.

But this is a world where gods exist, so nothing is surprising.

Anything that interests the gods can be spread instantly to everyone, no matter how remote the location.

What they are not interested in, even if it happens decades later, may go unnoticed.

Thanks to the gods—at this time, inside the palace of the Trojan capital, the old King Priam naturally learned of this matter, and his face immediately turned green.

How could Hector agree to such a thing?!
