Simulating the Universe, Starting with Speedrunning Greece

If it weren't for the death of Patroclus, Achilles would never have worked for a man like Agamemnon.

Even though the sun set three times, Achilles was able to turn the situation around every time he stepped onto the battlefield, changing key battles several times - allowing the defeated Greek side to make a comeback.

Such a shining hero, in the end, had to clean up Agamemnon's mess and died on the battlefield.

Ye also remembered one thing——

In the myth, Agamemnon was finally forced by Odysseus and others to surrender, return Briseis to Achilles, and apologize.

But Achilles remained unmoved.

Perhaps he really didn't care about the slave girls and property, but simply wanted to prevent Agamemnon from infringing on his dignity and honor.

Night: “Very well—it seems we have a common enemy, so why point your weapon at me, Achilles?

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

You are so upright and would rather break than bend.

In order to realize your ambition, you bid farewell to your parents and resolutely came to this battlefield against their wishes.

But as long as Agamemnon lives, you will not be able to obtain the true glory and dignity you want as a warrior."

“Why not come with me? Come with us?

Like Hector, you have an extremely warm and kind heart.

It shouldn't be dancing alone on a lonely shore.

Go back to where you belong, Achilles.

You were born to be on the battlefield - and yet Agamemnon doesn't let you show your talents.

Then change your approach and fight. Even if it is for your dignity and honor, live freely in a new way. "

free--?

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

Although it didn't say anything nice or profound, it did allow Achilles to see his own heart clearly.

It doesn't matter how many words you say, what matters is that you speak to the heart of the person.

Especially the last sentence - Achilles remembered the song in the early morning.

I, who was originally trapped in the dark world, seemed to have turned into a bird with wings, and flew freely in the sky.

No longer disturbed by any shackles, you can freely do what you want to do.

He can laugh as much as he wants, fight, and bravely defend his honor and self-esteem with the weapon in his hand.

There was no goddess Athena to stand in her way.

Achilles was a fierce man who dared to raise his sword and kill Agamemnon when he was extremely angry. In essence, he was not a good guy who was blindly loyal to the king of kings.

It’s better to say that he is quite rebellious——!

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

He then rebelled against his lord - and nearly killed Agamemnon.

Then - he rebelled against his own destiny, and despite his mother's repeated dissuasion, he resolutely stepped onto the battlefield to avenge his best friend.

He is a rebellious person - but his merits outweigh his flaws, and his rebellion is unique, so everything can be seen as his struggle against fate.

Between living a long life in obscurity and dying with brilliance, people believed that he chose the latter.

But is it possible that he didn't choose either?

At this time, Achilles was silent, but there seemed to be a bright flame burning in his eyes, and he could not calm down for a long time.

Chapter 62: The Angry Demigod is ruthless and doesn’t say much: Let’s just go and chop down Agamemnon!

Ye held out one of his hands and smiled, "Join us, Achilles."

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

Achilles: "Hmph!"

At the last moment, Achilles hesitated.

To be honest, as a demigod whose mother is a sea nymph, she is not worried about the consequences of rebelling against Agamemnon at all.

Other kings might worry about being punished by their sovereign country if they rebelled, but his mother is a goddess.

His father is the grandson of Zeus, the father of heaven.

With this family background, it is not comparable to those ordinary kings of small countries who have no idea how rare the blood of God is.

If Agamemnon wanted to do anything to him, he would have to think twice.

But having said that - Achilles still hesitated whether to board the pirate ship of the night.

He had never thought of rebelling directly to the enemy camp before.

But he still held Ye's hand.

Then: "I'll have to think about it - give me some time."

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

Have you really thought it through?"

Achilles was startled—and then his face darkened.

By the way, the other party hasn’t told me yet how to persuade Patroclus.

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

Ye said calmly: “As an enemy, I am in no position to help you.

Unless you are my friend, my companion——

Achilles, there is no such thing as a free lunch. You should understand this.”

Achilles understood - this required him to express his stance.

Achilles, who was already somewhat shaken, was furious at Agamemnon's bullying.

This time he agreed very readily.

"Okay, I can be your partner.

Otherwise, just kill yourself now!!

I will persuade Patroclus and Ajax to join us!" Achilles said in a shocking tone.

He suddenly figured it out—!

Since Patroclus might be killed by the Trojan heroes if he stepped onto the battlefield, he led his men directly to Troy.

As long as I flee quickly enough, sword and death will not reach me.

Achilles' eyes were filled with murderous intent——!

He even thought of taking the opportunity to chop Agamemnon off.

Didn't Agamemnon want to use his armor to intimidate the enemy? He wanted Agamemnon to lose more than he gained.

grass--!

Didn't you realize that Achilles has such a violent and reckless personality?

Ye's head was suddenly filled with black lines——

However, Ye fully agreed with the other party's idea of ​​being so sensible that he even took the initiative to help persuade other heroes to join.

But Ajax the Great did—

Forget Patroclus.

This giant baby is a complete burden to carry around.

Don't you think I haven't caused you enough trouble?

Night: “You are too anxious, Achilles.

Do you think that if we suddenly rebel, we can successfully defeat Greece and escape?

Don't forget what stands behind Agamemnon..."

Achilles suddenly woke up - he immediately thought of the goddess Athena, and maybe even the other gods.

Achilles frowned: "…………

So, what do you say? "

Ye: "Come closer and I'll tell you."

Even though the soundproof barrier was activated, Ye was still extremely cautious and then said something.

Who says that only by rebelling against the other side can one cause trouble and sabotage to Agamemnon?

That night, one extremely insidious, bah... mean, bah... no, it was a wise plan after another was told to Achilles.

It was all a routine - so sincere, so sincere that Achilles was shaking all over and felt as cold as if he was in an ice cellar.

Despicable Trojans—!

Hiss, that’s so scary.

Even Odysseus couldn't do such a wicked thing.

Achilles suddenly didn't hate Agamemnon so much anymore, and even felt a little pity for the man.

And when Achilles and Night come back.

He immediately set his next target on Patroclus.

Achilles told Patroclus to take off his armor, saying that it would only bring bad luck to him.

Unexpectedly, at the end of the conversation, Achilles' attitude became so tough again, and Patercros was almost mad with anger.

But when he said angrily, my friend, don’t you even want your honor and face?

Achilles' indifference finally frightened Patroclus.

He began to change his tactics, suddenly started to cry about his weakness, pretending to be pitiful...

How miserable I would be without this armor to protect me. Perhaps I would be the next person to fall after those soldiers who died in battle.

When it comes to the acquaintance of Patroclus and Achilles, the myth goes back to their childhood. At that time, Patroclus was still a little boy. He ran away because he accidentally killed another little boy. Eventually, he accidentally broke into the place where Achilles lived and was protected by Achilles.

The two met each other and gradually became friends.

But——was it really manslaughter?

Why do people say that Achilles is a little too kind?

When he was a child, he believed whatever Patroclus said, and no matter what, Patroclus did kill someone.

But such a murderer finally became a friend of a prince, transformed himself into a hero, and even put on Achilles' armor and fought on the battlefield in his name.

Ye’s evaluation was: How shameless——!

At least the Patroclus of this world behaved very awkwardly in front of him.

And at this moment, Ye spoke——

He said that if Patroclus gave up his armor, he and Achilles could make this as a request and jointly ask King Agamemnon to give him other rewards as a thank you for giving up the armor.

By doing this, you will not lose anything, nor will you have to risk being mistaken for Achilles and beaten to death.

Night: "If you want to face Hector's glory, you can try to see if you can live to see the next sunrise.

Even Achilles, who was immortal and held the magic spear, was defeated by the opponent (referring to the previous Battle of Thebes, where Ye directly took credit for himself), or -

Do you think you can defeat Hector in his prime?"

As Ye spoke, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, like an eagle, which made Patroclus feel timid and he immediately shrank in fear.

Face Hecate?!

That monster?
