It was as if a myth had come to life again.
The gears of fate turn again.
Helen once again discovered Odysseus and his duo coming to steal the statue. Just as described in the myth, this time she still chose to pretend not to see them.
"I... didn't see anything. Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with me." After saying this, Helen looked warily at Diomedes who was about to take action.
However, this was different from his original intention to not embarrass these Greek heroes out of guilt towards the King of Sparta.
This time, Helen was because she had seen Odysseus delivering something to Griffith during the day.
Because of Lord Griffith, although she noticed the thing wrapped in cloth that was obviously wrong, she did not say much, but watched it go all the way to the outside of the city.
However--
I have to say, this mission itself is a huge pitfall.
In the original myth, the success of the mission was closely related to the support of Athena herself.
Athena has no time to take care of this now. Even if she did, she would definitely be furious when she saw Diomedes, whose mind was controlled by other goddesses, coming to steal her statue.
Any goddess would be angry if her own warriors became tools of other goddesses.
After Helen's little episode, it was all over.
The two continued to escape, and everything went smoothly afterwards.
Just when Odysseus thought that the statue's previous radiance was just an accident, when he was about to leave the territory of Troy, hum~!! The statue once again radiated a strong radiance and resisted and repelled Diomedes and Odysseus.
Bang bang~!! Two dull sounds of the ground falling were heard.
Odysseus and the other fell to the ground.
The statue of Athena was originally a treasure donated by Athena to this land to protect it since the founding of Troy.
Since it is a specific thing to protect Troy, it is naturally only effective in Troy. It cannot leave the city of Troy unless the goddess Athena personally removes the restrictions on the statue.
Although Eris could transform Odysseus into a Diomedes, it was impossible for her to authorize him to transform into an Athena.
No matter how closely she imitated her divine power, fake was still fake and could not be mistaken for the real thing.
So - as expected, Odysseus and others were caught in the end.
The two men didn't even get out of the city gate before they were blocked by the luxurious lineup led by Hector.
Hector, Aeneas, Penthesilea, basically all the heroes that Troy could fight were present.
Odysseus was no match for any of them in a one-on-one fight, let alone when they attacked together.
When faced with this powerful lineup, he chose to surrender directly!
As long as I throw fast enough, no one will die.
As long as people are still alive, there is still a chance --! ! !
Oh my God, he just wants to live a good life and return to his country to find his wife and son. Why is it so bad that nothing good always happens to him?
But Diomedes went crazy for some reason and suddenly jumped up - and launched an attack directly!
The result is that the conflict is further intensified.
In the explosive state, Diomedes even injured Hector and Aeneas, but was finally crushed by Penthesilea, who also awakened her wild instinct at the critical moment.
Hector seized the opportunity and shot it straight through the ground.
It is easy to defeat a top hero like Diomedes, but it is difficult to kill him, especially when he is at the critical moment of his life.
No one expected that Diomedes would be so stubborn this time and kill crazily in the Trojan camp.
And completely abandon defense, just focus on accumulating and attacking fiercely!
He even managed to kill quite a few other heroes with his crazy attack mode. Although he was nailed to death by Hector in the end, both sides suffered losses of 800 while injuring the enemy a thousand.
Odysseus, who had watched the whole scene, didn't know what to say.
Damn --! !
He just felt a black screen before his eyes - it was over!
Diomedes misunderstood me. The last state was obviously wrong, but no matter what, because of Diomedes' suicide attack like a dead soldier, Odysseus was instantly in an extremely embarrassing situation.
Volume 2: Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 198: They must have an insider! For example, G... Helen: Yes, it's me
Since Diomedes vowed to never surrender, he, as a surrendering party, was in an awkward position.
Moreover, the Trojans suffered heavy casualties and the sacrifice was huge. For a moment, the heroes' eyes turned cold when they looked at Odysseus.
"I surrender!! I request a ransom from the Greeks in the name of prisoners!" Odysseus surrendered very ruthlessly. He felt that if he showed the slightest reaction, the heroes would stab him to death immediately because of their radical attitude.
And even in this situation, he should not make any futile resistance.
Soon Odysseus was taken to the palace to meet Priam.
At this time, other heroes who were not involved in the incident also rushed over after receiving the news.
Of course, this also includes Griffith.
Ye had never expected that he would meet Odysseus again in such a short time.
After hearing the news that Diomedes was killed, he didn't know what to say for a moment. This butterfly effect was quite big.
What worries Ye Du is whether Athena will get mad because of this matter.
Although this goddess is beautiful and kind-hearted, she has also perfectly inherited the petty character of the Greek gods. I am afraid that there will be endless revenge in the future, which will undoubtedly add a lot of trouble to pulling her into the Trojan camp.
But - it doesn't matter to Ye now.
After killing those Trojan princes, his current position in Troy is very delicate.
Perhaps the next moment he will be on the opposite side of Troy, depending on how Priam and others will treat him next.
It has come to this, and it is true - Troy is beyond salvation!
Or maybe he didn't want to save everyone from the beginning, and he doesn't want to save anyone now.
In order to repay the favor, he saved Hector. With his current strength, if he defeated Hector and knocked him unconscious, and then directly sent him and Aeneas to Rome, and let them go to the Mediterranean to open up a new country, wouldn't that be a once and for all solution?
However, that would be tantamount to running away, and Hector probably wouldn't accept it. Otherwise, he really doesn't want to take care of this mess.
At this time, there was a fierce quarrel in the hall.
The heroes had just breathed a sigh of relief, but they didn't expect that the hero Odysseus would give them a big surprise in the evening.
Odysseus actually came to Troy, and not only him - even Diomedes came, and the two of them wanted to steal the statue of Athena.
This is really scary.
It's like playing a game, where both sides are still deploying their troops on the front line, but you suddenly find that your crystal was almost stolen. It's thrilling.
It is impossible to say that I am not afraid of this kind of behavior.
Once you lose a war, you will really have nothing.
No one can accept such consequences.
Since Odysseus and his men could come in to steal the statue, they could naturally come in to poison it.
Fortunately, the noise was loud enough for them to find out. If the other party had sabotaged them quietly, such as poisoning their food and water, and waited for them to fall asleep and never wake up again, wouldn't that be even more terrifying? !
We must find out how Odysseus and his men got in.
Under the questioning of a group of heroes, what moral integrity could the wicked Hughes have?
After being accused of killing the Son of Truth, his reputation had long been ruined. In this case - in order to survive, there was nothing he could not say.
Although he knew that if he told these people, they probably wouldn't let him go, but if he didn't tell them, he would have no chance at all.
Those frightened eyes made Odysseus realize that if these people didn't get the answer today, they would probably use all the punishment on him, so he had to force the answer out no matter what.
Now that the mission had failed, that information was no longer a secret, and this method obviously could not be used a second time against the defensive Trojans.
"It was the goddess... The goddess guided us all the way. Under her guidance, we obtained the documents needed to pass the customs."
Troy could find out about this kind of thing himself afterwards, but he probably would never associate it with the gods.
And when Odysseus said that this was actually the work of a god.
All the heroes' faces changed.
Goddess? Which one? Considering the appearance of Diomedes, almost everyone subconsciously thought of Athena.
But if it was Athena, why did she let the statue emit such a strong light, making the heroes realize that something was wrong in the temple?
There are many contradictions in this.
Almost subconsciously, everyone thinks that the goddess Odysseus is talking about is Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war. This is a fallacy caused by habitual thinking.
Just like people now subconsciously like to tie goddesses such as Athena and Artemis together with Griffith.
Diomedes, a loyal warrior of Athena, appeared on the battlefield, and people subconsciously believed that this plan was commissioned by Athena.
Many heroes looked towards Griffith at this time.
"I haven't received any divine revelation..." Ye silenced these people with just one sentence.
Never mind whether it was an order from Athena or not, he knew nothing anyway.
But the panic did not disappear.
"This is really ridiculous - although I don't think Odysseus is lying, let's just take what he said as true. But there must be people among us Troy who betrayed and chose to defect to Greece. If there were no people inside to support Odysseus and others, no matter how many divine instructions there were, it would be useless." Suddenly a hero spoke up.
This criticism seems to be pointed at something.
Traitor, traitor?
At once, many people thought of something.
During the day, Laodice also blamed Odysseus for the killing of the princes. Maybe she really saw Odysseus.
And where did she see it?
It was on the pool of blood where Griffith had killed several of Priam's sons.
Is there any connection between the two?
When I think of this, coupled with the previous rumor that Griffith was an undercover agent sent by King Agamemnon, it seems that the purpose of sending him here was to recapture and rescue Helen.
Some people who had previously been skeptical now actually believed it.
Didn't Griffith fight against the princes just to protect Helen?
If you look at this matter purely from a purely detached perspective, he was simply using his own strength to protect an innocent woman, and this act in itself is noble.
But at this moment, with the appearance of Odysseus, the problem suddenly became too coincidental.
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable to Griffith, Helen, Laodice and Chryseis, who had secretly come to watch from the dark inside the hall, became a little anxious when they heard that the incident had become so serious.
And the next moment, Paris also spoke, and said something that made Helen's face change drastically.
"They carried such a large object, dodged many patrolling soldiers all the way from the temple, and almost left the high wall... In the meantime, no one witnessed and reported Odysseus and his men's suspicious behavior... It would be strange if Odysseus and his men didn't have an insider!"
Volume 2 Greek Universe - Trojan War: Chapter 199 Hero, can you prove your innocence?
At this moment, Paris looked at Griffith with fear and a hint of hatred.
He seemed to have seen an opportunity to bring disgrace upon Griffith, and now that so many heroes were present, he mustered up the courage to say so.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the conjecture is true or not. What matters is that there is a possibility that Griffith can be dragged into the water!
However, Paris' words unexpectedly made Helen, who had actually witnessed the sneaky behavior of Odysseus and others, turn pale.
Helen did see it, and subconsciously concealed it for Odysseus and others.
She felt a little weak and flustered.
Now that no one is paying attention to her, naturally no one will notice this.
And if there is anyone in this world, besides herself, who might know the possibility of her meeting Odysseus and others.
Then the only one who knows the original story of the myth is Ye Yiren.
"What do you want to say, Paris..." when someone asked.
Paris: "It's simple... We have a spy in our city, either very powerful or very influential, who can help Odysseus and his men clear the obstacles."
"Griffith, the hero! Laodicea's sister once claimed to have witnessed Odysseus's brutal slaughter of the princes."
"If what she said is true, those people might not have been killed by Griffith."
