Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

If it were just a duel, none of us would be a match for Hector."

When the heroes heard this, their faces turned black and they thanked them for giving us some face. Although it was the truth, it sounded too harsh!

"However, I propose that—

Let the King of Sparta invite Paris to a duel between men before the war to prove his strength.

Beauty belongs only to the strong.

With Hector's proud character, he would not stop such a battle of justice, honor and sovereignty.

And if Paris could be captured on the battlefield..."

Having said this, Ye slowly closed his eyes, as if to say, "I've said everything I need to say. Whether you can understand it depends entirely on your own IQ."

Odysseus just happened to respond and said, "Then we can use Paris to threaten Troy to withdraw.

Buy time for our army to recover."

Odysseus exclaimed.

It’s a good idea indeed!

He had seen Hector on the battlefield several times and had some understanding of his character. The man was indeed an upright warrior.

Although the means are somewhat dishonorable, if Hector can be restrained by this method, then it is worth it no matter what means are used.

Unlike most other Greek heroes, Odysseus is one of the few heroes who is not averse to strategy.

In fact, more heroes prefer to just fight with real guns and swords and be done with it. Those who shout about glory and justice every day are a group of brainless reckless people in Odysseus' eyes.

For a moment, Odysseus's sense of the night improved a lot, which was also due to the singing in the morning.

The victim, the King of Sparta, became even more excited at this time, his eyes suddenly lit up as if they were glowing. Sparta has always been famous for its bravery.

As the king of Sparta, he is naturally very confident in his own strength.

When Agamemnon asked the king of Sparta for his opinion, the king looked eager to try and arrogantly stated that he could beat the shit out of Paris.

All the heroes were infected by his confidence and thought it was indeed a foolproof idea.

Immediately, the other heroes also took a deep breath, and their eyes looked at Ye differently.

I felt both admiration and awe that the other party could come up with such a cruel way to take advantage of human nature.

People's attention was focused on Ye.

No one knows, but what he is thinking is——

The method is a good one, but it is based on the fact that the King of Sparta is really strong enough. With his fighting power, he is not capable of capturing Paris.

These two noobs were fighting each other. Although Menelaos, the king of Sparta, was slightly better in close combat, he was not much better.

Not every King of Sparta was named Leonidas or Kratos.

And once the heroes had all set their sights on the decisive battle and had all set foot on the front lines, he would have just enough time throughout the day to explore the camp and find Briseis's location.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to find Achilles and try to persuade him to join Troy.

Before setting off this time, Ye had already assured Hector not to kill anyone wearing Achilles' armor.

If Achilles' friends were killed, it would be completely impossible to turn against Achilles.

but--

Wait, Ye suddenly realized that he had fallen into a misconception.

Why one must not kill someone wearing the armor of Achilles.

Wouldn't it be better if someone else could just fight in his armor?

Thinking of this——

A new and sinister idea came to Ye's mind.

Just when Agamemnon was very excited because Ye really came up with a good idea.

He immediately pulled Odysseus and others to discuss the feasibility.

Ye said again: "By the way, I suggest that we find a hero to wear the armor of Lord Achilles and pretend to be Achilles. As long as 'Achilles' appears on the battlefield, I'm afraid few Trojan heroes will dare to step forward to verify the authenticity.

This will also allow the Trojan army to retreat temporarily..."

Many heroes' eyes suddenly lit up, and this time they were really interested.

The Armor of Achilles?!

That’s good stuff!

There is hardly any hero who does not covet that set of magical weapons.

Even if I just lend it to them temporarily, it's enough to satisfy their enjoyment!

In mythology, when Achilles died in battle, almost all heroes became greedy for Achilles' legacy.

At this moment, even Odysseus, who had little fighting ability and whose strength lay entirely in command and wisdom, began to breathe rapidly and felt eager to make a move.

What man doesn't love armor and artifacts? !

Just like no man can resist the temptation of Kamen Rider Transformer and Gundam.

Seeing the expressions of the many heroes, Ye remained calm on the surface, but smiled happily in his heart.

Chapter 53 Odysseus: Choose the wisest! Diomedes: Choose the strongest!

So many people are rushing to die?!

Do you really think that you can become the second Achilles by wearing the artifact? As expected, even heroes can be blinded by desire and fall into stupidity.

What is strong is never a suit of armor or a weapon, but Achilles himself.

In the myth, every time I saw Achilles' friends wearing his armor at night, scaring the enemy away in fear, I thought -

How long can such a paper tiger last without being exposed? There will always be people who are not afraid of life and death and bravely stand up to stop this "Achilles".

When the enemy finds out that he has been deceived and is actually just a weak rookie, how should he face the furious enemy?

as predicted--

In the end, Achilles' good friend died a tragic death.

He had no self-awareness of his own strength, and when he was excited, he dared to rush into the enemy camp alone.

He really thinks of himself as Achilles.

When faced with Hector, who disregarded his own life and death and stood up for his country even though he was not sure of defeating Achilles, he showed courage and awareness of risking his life.

Facing a warrior who has forgotten about life and death and can fight with all his strength, which is many times more terrifying than normal.

The ending seemed to have been predetermined, and it was the result that everyone expected.

A life that is not commensurate with one's strength is a very dangerous thing.

At this time, almost all the heroes rushed to agree to this proposal and expressed their willingness to disguise themselves as Achilles to fight.

They seemed to have forgotten their reputation as heroes - they really risked their lives just to shine for the Greek camp and pretended to be "another person".

And everyone present knew it well.

Ye was too embarrassed to expose them——

Are you guys willing to risk your own life?

You are just coveting Achilles's divine armor.

Once the equipment is obtained, Yi Ye knows the character of these heroes 100% and will not return it.

This is not borrowing at all, it's clearly equipment picked up for free.

Each of the Greek heroes of the Fourth Plague has excellent qualities as a game player.

Steal all, rob all, strip all——!

I got the equipment from other people (NPCs) by my own ability, why should I give it back?

If you say one more word, the original owner will be chopped off as well.

For a moment, the heroes were fighting fiercely -!

They started to quarrel and argue (as unreasonably as the aunties in the vegetable market) about how suitable they were for this difficult task and how no one else was worthy of wearing the armor except themselves.

During the night, even the king of a small country like Thoas, who had the title of a hero but was actually just there to make up the numbers, was so excited that he was spitting.

I don’t know where the autistic look he had before has disappeared.

Greed and excitement filled everyone's face.

Because of a word from Ye——

The heroes of the Greek camp almost came to a head-on fight. At this point, the atmosphere was filled with hostility, and they all looked with hostility at the heroes who they thought were highly competitive.

Even Odysseus, the wise man, is no exception.

No one can resist the temptation of artifacts.

Even wise men can be blinded by greed.

Just like the original future, after Achilles died, the heroes fought each other while his body was still warm, just to inherit his equipment.

No one would not be tempted by the qualification to inherit the divine weapon.

Even Agamemnon was very moved and began to gloat over the other's misfortune.

Even though there is a high probability that this set of magical weapons will not fall into his possession in the end, as the supreme commander, it is unlikely for him to take the task of charging into battle at the front.

But if he could really make Achilles lose a set of artifacts, Agamemnon would be happy enough.

The loss of a rival always makes one happy.

In an instant, a sinister thought flashed through the mind of the narrow-minded King of Mycenae.

He could not gain any benefit, or even lose any benefit, but he would make this plan come true.

He wanted to tell Achilles in this way that even without him, he would never lose the Trojan War.

The coalition forces cannot survive without you, Achilles.

Agamemnon: "Then please raise your hands if you agree with these two plans!"

When Agamemnon called for silence and began to ask all the heroes to vote on the decision, almost everyone voted in favor.

Only Ye is the proposer, so his opinion will not be taken into consideration.

Even the experienced old man, the wise man Nestor, could not see anything wrong with the plan.

Perhaps the only loophole is that the victim, the King of Sparta, couldn't even defeat Paris, a rookie.

After all, according to the myth, the king of Sparta had a very advantageous physique, and his image alone was enough to scare Paris, making him timid and afraid to fight. However, Hector gave him a lecture and pushed him out.

What was unexpected was that the king of Sparta, who was supposed to be able to fight, turned out to be just a piece of trash.

The spearmen fought against the archers. After a long battle, they failed to defeat Paris. So they threw away their spears and switched to long swords, but the result was even worse. Halfway through the fight, their weapons broke into several pieces.

Paris was finally captured, but was rescued by the goddess Aphrodite instead.

So Ye was not worried about Paris' safety at all.

This was a fair way of dueling, and even if Hector knew later that the plan was his, he would not think that Ye had any problem with it.

Even if Paris really died in the battle, it was his own fault. He was the one who caused the trouble. If he was killed in a sacred duel witnessed by the gods and many kings, not even Hector would avenge him.

Ye actually hated Paris - dying in a duel like this was a glorious way to end up as a scum like him.

However, there are gods protecting the other side in secret, and they will not let Paris, the source of the war, die so easily.

Just like Agamemnon who was also well protected.

Back in reality, Agamemnon and the heroes are arguing again about who should wear Achilles' armor.

It seems that no one has asked Achilles whether he is willing to lend it.

Odysseus says that the wisest man should wear the armor.

Smart people understand how to maximize its effect without revealing their true colors. After all, they want to disguise as Achilles to boost our army's morale while deterring the enemy, rather than actually fighting a big battle.

He almost pointed at his own nose and said—
