Seeing this, you and Hector knelt down directly in front of your father.
Priam looked at his disappointing son, unable to bring himself to order punishment. He remained seated on his throne and solemnly declared, "Summon all soldiers! This battle! We absolutely cannot lose!"
"Yes, Father!" x2
Your and Hector's voices had barely faded when, a second later, another voice echoed through the palace.
"Knowing there's no hope of victory, why still gamble everything? Foolish!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared before you! And the moment you saw this man, you recognized him from the portrait sent from the front lines!
Lin Ye!
"Quickly! All soldiers! Take him down!"
Priam reacted immediately! He waved his hand! Countless soldiers rushed towards Lin Ye, but Lin Ye didn't even move. He just glanced at them, and all the soldiers turned into stone statues and froze in place.
Except... you and Hector!
"Is this... the Petrifying Mystic Eye?"
Paris stared in horror at Lin Ye in front of him; he had never seen anyone like this before.
He appeared out of thin air and effortlessly dealt with everyone. In his mind, only a god could accomplish such a feat!
"Let go of my father!"
Hector charged at Lin Ye with his spear in hand! However, Lin Ye simply raised his hand, and a wave of sea transformed into a water prison, imprisoning Hector within.
Then, Lin Ye walked step by step to Paris and said...
“Paris, right?”
“That’s right.” Paris stood tall and looked at Lin Ye without fear. After all, he was a hero; he had that much courage.
Lin Ye: "As expected, you're such an idiot."
"you!"
"What do you mean, 'you'?! Because of your willfulness, Troy and Sparta have been dragged into this war, and you still have the nerve to stand here?"
Upon hearing Lin Ye's question, Paris's tone lowered, but he still said, "I love her."
"Love? So you only care about your love games, right?"
Do you know that because of your love, the peace between our two countries, which has lasted for many years, has been broken?
Do you know that because of your love, countless ordinary people have been displaced?
Do you know that because of your love, so many soldiers who went to the front lines will never be able to go home and embrace their loved ones again?
Do you know that because of your love, your father, your brother, and Troy will be destroyed?
How ridiculous! You gave the golden apple to Cupid, but you don't understand love at all.
To be honest, Lin Ye didn't really like Paris. There's nothing wrong with disregarding everything for love, but his mistake was that he completely disregarded the interests of others.
He acted recklessly without the ability to solve problems. He paid the price with the lives of his father and brother, and with his country, but he failed to sacrifice himself.
If Paris had realized his mistake and taken Helen to Sparta to apologize, even if he were to be executed by the Spartan king, Lin Ye would at least have saved him. Unfortunately, he did not.
What's most infuriating is that after Paris shot Achilles, Philoctetes also shot him with an arrow. Although that arrow didn't hit a vital spot, it was an arrow passed down from Heracles, coated with the venom of the Hydra.
Left with no other option, Paris turned to Apollo for help. Apollo told him that only his wife, Oenone, whom he had abandoned because of Helen, possessed the antidote to the Hydra's venom. So Paris went to beg for his wife's forgiveness, but of course, Oenone did not save him, and he died.
After his death, Oenone desperately ran towards his grave, running for a day and a night, losing her shoes and breaking her feet. Finally, she was seen by the moon goddess who happened to be passing by (Why do you keep passing by everywhere?), and she took pity on her and led her to Paris's grave.
Then, in front of Paris's mother and his wife Helen, Oenone threw herself into a nearby fire and died for love.
So... how could Lin Ye possibly like a man who abandons his wife and children and has no sense of responsibility?
"Putting aside your character, just in terms of being a decent person, you're not even as good as Giles."
Chapter 400 The Golden Apple Given to the Moon Goddess
Paris looked at Lin Ye in front of him. He wasn't stupid; of course he knew he was wrong.
You silently lowered your head, and seeing you like this, Lin Ye said...
“Bring Helen with me, and then commit suicide to atone for your sins. The war between Troy and Sparta can be put an end.”
Based on Lin Ye's words, you choose:
Option 1: Leave with Lin Ye. To sacrifice oneself for the peace of the world would be a worthy death.
Option Two: We cannot surrender. War is never a child's game; even if we die, Sparta will not retreat.
Faced with the two options before him, Paris was also caught in a dilemma.
He was a hero, after all; he wasn't afraid to die, but he couldn't die in vain.
Just as Paris was struggling with this decision, he suddenly saw that the situation in the simulation had changed.
boom!
Finally, Hector broke free from the water prison! He immediately stood in front of you, blocking your path.
"No! Paris! You absolutely cannot go with him!"
Hector looked at Lin Ye without fear, even though he was facing a legend! He did not back down in the slightest!
"War is never black and white. Mr. Lin Ye, you should understand that Sparta's desire to occupy Troy has been going on for a long time, and so have their allies. They finally found an opportunity to attack Troy, and now they are in a very good position. So what if Paris is dead? Nothing will change. Troy will perish!"
Lin Ye: "You think I don't know what you're talking about? But do their choices really matter?"
Does it matter? No, it doesn't.
Lin Ye didn't come for you, King Sparta. He told me to give it to you, so you have to take it whether you want it or not.
Hector was speechless after hearing Lin Ye's words.
Lin Ye's solo trip to the meeting today demonstrates just how formidable he is.
Although Hector did not know Lin Ye, when he received Lin Ye's message, he had asked his brother Paris to seek an oracle from Apollo.
The oracle received contained only three words.
"Don't mess with him!"
Even the gods dare not provoke such an existence; how could Troy possibly afford to offend it!
In the Trojan War, the gods were originally divided into two camps.
Zeus and Hades remain neutral
Hera, Athena, Poseidon, Hephaestus, and Demeter supported Sparta, while Venus, Artemis, Apollo, Ares, and Hestia supported Troy.
However, with Lin Ye's intervention, Artemis suddenly turned against them for some unknown reason. The remaining gods also seemed to be neutral, with only Venus and Apollo still supporting them. This was because the two supported Paris, and if Paris were handed over again...
Without divine protection, Troy's only fate is destruction!
Hector looked at Lin Ye in front of him and said with unwavering determination.
“Mr. Lin Ye, if you want to kill us to avenge Sparta, then we are powerless to resist. However, if you are doing this for the sake of peace between our two countries, then we have a suggestion.”
"Oh? Tell me about it." Lin Ye looked at Hector in front of him with great interest.
"An ancient duel. With the gods as witnesses and you, Mr. Lin Ye, as the referee, we will each send two people to duel. If Sparta wins, we will offer up the King's Sword and submit."
We were lucky enough to win, and we still returned Helen to Sparta, but how about we pretend nothing happened?
Hector's idea was quite good, and it suited Lin Ye's taste perfectly.
Even if Lin Ye took Paris back and killed him, the simulation score wouldn't be very high. After all, neither Odysseus nor Achilles were the kings of Sparta. Sparta's occupation of Troy was in line with the historical process but couldn't create a Lostbelt.
But with this gladiatorial contest, everything changed completely.
"Achilles and Odysseus, isn't this just perfect?"
As for whether Achilles and Odysseus will lose...
Just kidding. If they still lose even with me giving them cheat codes, then what's the difference between me and a piece of trash?
Having thought of this, Lin Ye nodded to Hector.
"Then it's a deal. Three days from now, on the battlefield."
After Lin Ye finished speaking, his body disappeared from the spot.
Hector breathed a sigh of relief as he watched Lin Ye disappear.
"Fortunately, Lin Ye agreed to our conditions." Hector patted Paris on the shoulder to reassure him.
Hector also gave a confident smile.
He actually used some tricks just now. He made Lin Ye the referee, but the referee can't exactly fight in the arena.
As long as Lin Ye doesn't leave the field...
Those two brothers! They're simply invincible!
"However, just to be on the safe side, let's go to the Temple of Apollo."
It's always good to pray to the gods before a duel.
Meanwhile, Lin Ye returned directly to the Spartan camp and went straight to King Menelaus of Sparta to tell him about the matter. However, Menelaus refused on the spot!
