Chapter 56 Finally Getting Rid of Patroclus
The Greek coalition forces gathered at the port of Auris in the southern part of the island of Eubia, originally planning to attack Troy in the autumn.
However, because of Artemis, the goddess of hunting, winter had already entered when the Greek coalition troops set off to attack Troy.
Agamemnon learned that the landing place was the Mysian coast. He would follow Luoyin's suggestion and immediately take the large fleet to the Trojan coast because the severe cold of winter was coming.
If the Greek coalition forces could not land on the Trojan coast before severe cold and ice covered the Trojan coast, they would have to wait for the winter to pass and then land on the Trojan coast the following spring.
In the original fate track, the Greek coalition forces were forced to survive the winter on the Missian coast because they failed to land on the Troin coast before the severe cold of winter arrived.
After Agamemnon led the fleet to the Dardanelles, Luo Yin ordered the soldiers to take King Telephus, Queen Astyoch and Prince Eurypylus of Mysia with him. Flagship, and then said to Patroclus beside him.
"Patroclus! Now I will take five hundred soldiers and Telephus's family to Troy, so that their family can never return to the city of Mysia. You can stay in Mysia with two thousand soldiers. Aye, become the new king who rules Missia!"
When Patroclus heard that he could transform from a wandering royal family to a king with a city-state, Patroclus was not only not happy at all, but also said to Luo Yin with a painful expression like a pet abandoned by its owner.
"Achilles, I don't want to be the king of Misia, I just want to stay by your side forever."
I don't want to be with you forever!
Luo Yin endured the disgust in his heart and said seriously.
"Patroclus, you know that I have withdrawn from the coalition now, and the coalition will no longer provide me with food and grass. In order to feed my two thousand and five hundred soldiers, you must become the king of Mysia and provide me with food, grass and other supplies. "
"But... if you just need someone to provide food and fodder, you can let someone else become the king of Mysia, such as your nephew - Polydora, the daughter of Peleus, who was born to the river god Spercius. Demigod Menstius."
You, a fool who is in love with a man, become smart at this time.
Luo Yin stretched out his hands, grabbed Patroclus' shoulders and said to him.
"Patroclus, do you really not understand? Although Menstius is my nephew, you are the one I truly trust. Only if you become the king of Myssia can I conquer Trotus with peace of mind. Yin.”
"Achilles..."
Luo Yin and Patroclus looked at each other for a while, and Patroclus forced a smile on his face and said.
"I am the person you trust most, how can I let you down! Achilles... I am willing to stay and rule the city of Missia and provide you and the soldiers with food, grass and other supplies."
After saying this, tears flowed from Patroclus's eyes like a fountain.
After successfully getting rid of Achilles' lover Patroclus, Luo Yin couldn't wait to take Chryseins aboard the flagship, and then sailed to the Dardanelles with ten ships and five hundred soldiers.
After the flagship was far away from the coast of Missia, Menstius came to Luo Yin with an unhappy look and said.
"Uncle Achilles, we are true relatives, and we are both demigods. Do you trust Patroclus more than me, your nephew?"
"Silly boy!"
Luo Yin immediately comforted his cheap nephew.
"Can't you really see it? I just said those words to Patroclus just to get rid of this big trouble. He is hanging around me like a lover, and I can't even do pleasant things with girls. "
After saying that, Luo Yin held Chryseins who was standing next to him in his arms, proving to Menstius that he was a normal man.
Seeing Chrysei's face flushed with embarrassment but not daring to struggle in Luo Yin's arms, Menstius said with a smile.
"It seems that Uncle Achilles said he loved Patroclus the most before, but he only loved him as a common friend."
"It's good that you understand! I have trust in you, my nephew, who will never lose to Patroclus, so I will let you manage the Telephus family."
When Luoyin's fleet arrived at the coast of Troyin, the large fleet of the Greek coalition had already landed at the mouth of the Skomante River.
Prince Paris of Troy abducted Helen, Queen of Sparta, and did not take Helen directly back to Troy. Instead, he took Helen to hide on the island of Crana to enjoy their world together.
In the original fate track, Paris and Helen would return to Troy before the end of winter to prepare the Trojans for the arrival of the Greek coalition.
Now, because Luoyin changed its fate, the Greek coalition forces arrived at the Trojan coast in advance. The Trojans had no idea what was going on, so they did not prevent the Greek coalition forces from landing.
After the coalition forces landed on the coast of Troy, Luoyin came to Agamemnon's barracks to attend a meeting of the princes.
Seeing Luo Yin's figure, Agamemnon on the throne immediately joked.
"Kings and princes, you have seen it! Achilles said that he was going to withdraw from the coalition, but now he has come to attend the meeting of our coalition. As your supreme commander, of course I am a tolerant and generous elder. Now I have forgotten some young man's nonsense about withdrawing from the coalition."
Luo Yin was not interested in having a verbal confrontation with Agamemnon and came to sit down next to Ajax and Teucer.
said the eloquent Palamedes, rising.
"Respected King Agamemnon! All kings and princes! You have all seen that Troy is indeed a difficult city to capture. Before we attack Troy, perhaps we can resolve this issue peacefully."
The peaceful means that Palamedes mentioned certainly did not mean that Troy would return Helen and the Greek coalition would take Helen back to Greece.
One hundred kings and princes came to Asia Minor with 100,000 coalition troops. Their real goal was to conquer the coast of Asia Minor and make the Greeks the rulers of the coast of the Asia Minor peninsula.
If the Troyens are willing to resolve the issue peacefully, they must not only return Helen, but also remain silent when the coalition conquers the coast of the Asia Minor peninsula.
Odysseus has always been jealous of the clever and eloquent Palamedes. Seeing that no one opposed Palamedes, Odysseus stood up and said.
"Priam, the king of Troy, has become the leader of the Asia Minor Peninsula through marriage and other means. It can even be said that just as King Agamemnon is the king of the Greek kings, Priam is the king of the kings of Asia Minor. The Troyens can confront our coalition forces head-on as long as they gather their allies. They will never surrender and let the coalition forces eliminate their allies one by one."
Odysseus' words also made sense, and many princes nodded in agreement.
"Odysseus!"
Palamedes said with a smile.
"Of course I know that the Troyens will not agree to our request, but we sent peace envoys to communicate with the Troyens, and maybe there will be unexpected gains."
The prophet Calchas also stood up and said.
"I have received the revelation of the gods that when our peace envoys enter the city of Troyen, an elder of the city of Troyen will become our friend."
Hearing Calchas' words, Odysseus could only sit down helplessly.
"Now that the peace envoys are sent to Troy, I want to make a request."
Troy stood up and said.
"I want to go to Troy with the peace envoys and ask the king of Troy, Priam, to redeem his son-in-law Telephus, his daughter Astyoke, and his grandson Eurypylus from me."
