Rhodes Palace

Rhodes Island is located in the southeast of the Aegean Sea, at the junction of the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean Sea. The king at this time was Trebores, the son of Hercules.

The messenger sent by Agamemnon slowly walked into the palace and bowed slightly to the king Trebolemos lying on the sheepskin blanket.

"The respected King Treboremos and Prince Paris of Troy took advantage of the envoy of Sparta Menelaus to Pyros, hijacked Queen Helen and baptized the palace bloodily, causing Sparta to suffer unprecedented shame and losses. King Agamemnon said that the shame suffered by Sparta was also the shame suffered by the entire Greek."

"In view of the promises made by the Greek princes and kings to the gods at the wedding of Menelaus, Agamemnon sincerely invites you to form a Greek coalition with the Greek kings and princes to fight against Troy."

The messenger's words fell clearly in the hall.

"Prince Paris of Troy is so rampant? He dared to hijack Queen Sparta openly. We Greeks should teach the Trojans a lesson, so that we will not be hijacked by the Trojans in the future." King Trebolemos heard this, pondered for a moment, and said.

"And, I did make a promise back then. Since that's the case, I believe that no one has any reason to refuse to form a coalition force to attack Troy this time."

"Tell Menelaus and Agamemnon that I would go out to fight the warships to participate in the siege of Troy, and I will soon arrive, I wonder where the meeting place is?" asked King Trebolemos.

"Dear King Trebolemos, Agamemnon booked the meeting place in Oris."

"Oh, Oris, I get it." Trebores said, waved his hand.

The Messenger of Mekenny slowly retreated.

Agos

The Messenger of Mekenny bowed to Diomedes, the king of Ados, who was sitting on the throne, presented a token, and said, "The respected King of Diomedes, and the Prince of Troy, Paris forcibly took over the Queen of Sparta, and bloodied the palace, the King of Sparta, Menelaus and the great King of Mekenny, Agamemnon, sincerely invite you to participate in the alliance of Greek kings."

"Agamemnon hopes that you will keep your promise in front of the gods and fight against Troy together. The meeting place is set in Oris, and the time is half a month."

"Well, I heard about this not long ago. Prince Paris of Troy was too much. His actions were undoubtedly to provoke the whole of Greece. Go back and tell Agamemnon that I will lead the warship alliance immediately." Diomedes, the son of Tyodes, readily agreed to the siege of Troy.

Dozens of Agamemnon envoys ran around the city-states and kingdoms of Greece with tokens. Almost all of Greece responded to Agamemnon's call and agreed to come to join the alliance and attack Troy.

Only the cunning Odysseus was hesitating.

The Kingdom of Itake Palace

Compared with the palaces of some Greek powers, the Itache Palace can be said to be simple. It has a garden surrounded by more than a dozen palaces. If you want to compare, it may be better than the Amazon Palace.

The fundamental reason for this is that the entire island is only 781 square kilometers and is divided by multiple families. Of course, it is also related to the personal preferences of King Odysseus of Itake. He has always been a simple habit and the palace was not built extensively. For example, when Odysseus built the palace, there was an olive tree in the middle, which was thick like a pillar. Therefore, he did not cut it off, so that the tree cut off its branches and leaves, left its trunk, and became the pillars of the bed and room.

At this time, it was inside the room, and it was raining outside, and it looked a little dim. Queen Penelope was still very young at this time. She was elegant and slender, and she said with a candle.

"Dear, do you really not intend to accept the invitation from Agamemnon's alliance? As far as I know, all the princes and kings of Greece have gone."

"The princes and kings of all Greece responded to Agamemnon's call?" Odysseus asked back.

"Yes, my dear, now you and Peruz are the only ones left who have not accepted Agamemnon's invitation." Queen Pereguper said worriedly.

"Oh, Peruz didn't go either. Then they didn't respond to Agamemnon's call." Odysseus said with a relaxed tone and showed a cunning smile.

At this time, Penelope scooped out a small basin of hot water to wash his face, and sheep oil with spices moisturized her skin. He said in a light tone: "Yes, I think Troy will definitely be able to fight with such a lot of princes and kings. If you don't go, you will lose a chance."

"Opportunity?" Odysseus smiled bitterly, his expression a little gloomy. After a while, he asked again: "I heard that Prince Paramedes agreed to Agamemnon to invite me?"

"Yes, you rejected the messenger last time, and this time it was Prince Paramedes who came to invite him in person, and now he is on the way." Queen Perneropper said.

Odysseus looked at the young queen and his young son Tremacos and cursed in his heart: "You seem smart and stupid guy, you have invented many things, which seem powerful and bring convenience to everyone, but he offended the gods and can't see through this situation yet."

"The Greek coalition forces are fighting against Troy."

"I don't know how many years it will take to fight and how many people will die!"

Odysseus was in a complicated mood for Paramedes. At the beginning, Paramedes was very smart. He felt that there was an extra smart man. As this man invented more and more things and became more and more effective, he gradually offended the gods.

Odysseus knew that the gods did not want humans to become smarter. Prometheus stole the fire to humans, was punished by Zeus, tied to the Caucasus Mountains, and was exposed to the wind and sunny day by day and eagles pecked at the eagle.

It's fine, the key is that the gods are very taboo to the heroes of high reputation. Now that the Greek coalition forces are attacking Troy, they have to cut off the powerful heroes of humanity one by one. Odysseus saw through this trap from the beginning, but he could not mention it to anyone, including Queen Penelope and his young son Tremacos.

"Whoever enters Troy may die, even if I am a person who is favored and favored by the gods." Odysseus thought.

Odysseus knew this and was unwilling to leave his young wife and young son Telemakos for the sake of the infidelity of the Spartan Queen.

He walked over and whispered a few words with his wife, Penelope.

"Dear, do you really want to do this?" Penelope looked at him, just like looking at Hydra.

Odysseus said: "Dear Perneroper, war is not a good thing, and how can I bear to leave you and your son?"

"King Odysseus is crazy?" Prince Paramedes rushed to Itache and heard the people talking about the news.

He rushed to the palace of Itake and met Queen Perneropo.

"Dear Queen Perneroper, when I first entered the city, I heard people talking about King Odysseus going crazy. I want to confirm the authenticity of this news to you." Paramedes said with a slight bow.

"Prince Paramedes, I'm very unfortunate to tell you that this news is true. In fact, Odysseus had bad symptoms very early, but he didn't expect it to happen now." Queen Perneropper looked like she was crying. People who didn't know the truth might have been deceived by her.

Paramedes is a person who knows Odysseus better. He has never heard of Odysseus having crazy symptoms. He looked suspicious and said, "Dear Queen Perneroper, it is really uncomfortable to hear this sad news, but Odysseus and I have been old friends for many years. I hope to visit him."

Queen Penelope, without doubt, nodded and took Paramedes to a remote corner of the garden.

When Paramedes arrived with Queen Perneroper, he happened to see Odysseus driving a donkey, ploughing the land in a very uncoordinated manner, and even scattering salt as seeds into the newly cultivated fields.

"Prince Paramedes, look, he sprinkles salt as seeds!" Queen Penelope looked at Paramedes with helpless eyes: "I thought more salt could grow in the fields!"

Paramedes was very smart. He looked at Odysseus who was farming in the fields carefully and sneered in his heart: "How can a mortal hide me?"

Thinking to himself, he said goodbye to Queen Perneropper, turned around and sneaked into the palace, and took away the baby Telemakos.

Paramedes carried the young Telemakos to the corner of the garden and found Odysseus who was plowing the land.

He placed Telemacos on Odysseus was about to plow the ground, but Odysseus carefully lifted the plow and gave it to his son.

This exposed Odysseus's mind very clearly, and he was pretending to be crazy.

Paramedes jumped out immediately and laughed: "Haha, Odysseus, do you still want to pretend to be crazy?"

Odysseus immediately hated Paramedes. He could have pretended to be crazy and survived the "crisis" in front of him, but Paramedes came to expose him on the spot, which made him lose face. At the same time, it meant that he could not escape the war against Troy.

"Well, Nauplius's son, noble prince, my good friend, your wisdom always makes me jealous." Odysseus said as if he was angry and helpless, but a trace of murderous intent emerged in his heart.

Paramedes is the prince of Euboea, which is the second largest island in Greece, with an area of ​​3,654 square kilometers. It is considered to be a medium or above country in the entire Greek kingdom.

So Paramedes was often clever and unrestrained, and Odysseus was as enduring as other princes, but at this time, he really had the intention of killing.

"I promised to take eight warships to the Oris Alliance, obey the dispatch of Menelaus and Agamemnon Paramedes. Next, who will you invite next?" Odysseus thought to himself, since he had not responded to the call, he would definitely not want to go.

You Paramedes forced people to go, but you thought you were proud of how many people you offended? Can you think of a way to unite those princes and cut off this "good friend" in one fell swoop?

"The next thing is to invite Peruz." Paramedes won, proudly giving Odysseus an expected answer.

Odysseus murmured in a low voice: "The process is too fast!"

"What are you talking about, Odysseus?" asked Paramedes.

Odysseus's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but he did not intend to tell Paramedes the truth, perfunctorily: "It's nothing, Paramedes, let's go, I'll go with you to meet Peruz, hoping to invite him to this alliance."
