Chapter 645: The Rest in Troy
Pei Ziyun led everyone into Troy City. The city was filled with the unextinguished flames, and the blue smoke filled the streets. The originally neat streets had turned into ashes, and the bodies were scorched by the fire. Looking at these tragic situations, everyone shed tears.
After massacre and fire, the city of Troy was left with only a piece of ruins, and there was no more of the excitement and glory of the past. Only when I entered the city, a plum blossom appeared quickly in front of me, and quickly enlarged, changing into a data frame with a faint sense of light.
"Task: Protect Andromake and Astianakus (Complete)"
"Task: Defeat Hercules (Complete)"
"Task: As the last mission of Prince Troy, bury the dead and let Troy rest in peace (unfinished)"
Pei Ziyun looked at the mission and continued to focus on it, protecting Andromake and Astienacus to complete it, and gaining 1 destiny point, while defeating Hercules to gain 3 destiny points. The destiny points that were originally consumed have now 4 more.
"I have done this task to bury the dead and let the city of Troy rest in peace. I cannot let the dead wander in front of the Styx, and cannot rest in peace."
In this world where real gods exist, the laws of the underworld are not optional. Only when the corpse is cremated and buried in the soil and covered with a layer of soil can the gods in the underworld think that this person has been buried and will be accepted by the underworld.
The team walked and stopped along the street, and there were corpses everywhere along the way, all the way, and even the road was blocked.
Some people saw their relatives in the corpse, and suddenly cried in the dark, and the crying was heartbreaking. When the people around them heard it, they were also sad.
Everyone carried the bodies on the road to the side of the road, covered their clothes, walked slowly forward, and finally arrived at the largest square in Troy.
Here, a group of soldiers stood neatly, with about a hundred people.
This was formed by Pei Ziyun taking the soldiers and some slaves on Mount Yida. He was lined up to wait for Pei Ziyun's arrival.
In fact, these people had already arrived in the city and were cleaning up the bodies in the city, counting and aftermath of the city.
But someone notified Prince Paris that he was coming and waiting for Pei Ziyun to arrange the specific work, so that the efficiency would be higher, rather than just now, the matter was very rough.
Pei Ziyun's right-hand man, Keselia and Gusne, also followed the team to come down from Mount Ida. Pei Ziyun nodded with satisfaction, very satisfied with the active attitude of these people.
"It's a pity that there are only these people left in the entire Troy City."
Pei Ziyun looked at the only Trojan soldiers and slaves in front of him and said, "The Trojans and Greeks destroyed our home city of Trojans. They wanted to slaughter our family and rob us of our wealth, as well as women and children."
"Although I saved a group of people, the scars of this war will remain on the Trojans forever. Now let us bury our loved ones first so that they can go to Hades' realm without any obstacles."
"Koselia, you immediately take people to count the women and children in the city. They must have been frightened and had never used food. They arrived at the palace to gather. Although the palace was robbed, most of the robberies were wealth, and most of the reserve rooms were intact, with food and water." Pei Ziyun looked at the sky, sighed, and said.
Inventory of the number of women and children is also a clear plan for the next work and direction.
"Yes, prince." Keselia immediately responded to the order. In this situation, Prince Paris is naturally the unscrupulous leader.
"Gesne, you took your soldiers to search for the male survivors in the city. Even after the massacre, there must be some male survivors in the city."
"The wounded go to the palace to rest like women and children. You can count the rest, and then organize and bury the bodies of our respectable citizens."
In the original script, after several massacres, Troy City became a ruin, and the survivors and Antenor worked together to bury the dead. Now Pei Ziyun is rushing quickly, so there are more of them.
"Yes, Prince Paris." Gusne said with a bow.
These male survivors are the precious wealth left by Troy City and the manpower to rebuild the city-state in the future.
Pei Ziyun arranged the aftermath one by one, and the tasks were in order and there were no omissions.
Everyone silently accepted the tasks they had in their hands, and the soldiers in the square were once again involved in the work arranged by Pei Ziyun.
In these tasks, the most important point is to collect a large number of corpses in Troy City.
Pei Ziyun looked at the hundreds of people who came back. Although they were all women and children, these were all manpower. In this aftermath of Troy City, they should not stand idly by, but should do their part.
"As for you, like the women and children in the city, all gather in the palace. After eating and drinking, you will go and help bury the dead."
Pei Ziyun ordered, and everyone had no doubts.
The team followed Pei Ziyun all the way into the palace. The palace also had thick palace walls, gates and pillars. The houses in the palace were relatively well preserved. Because the Greeks needed to search and rob the wealth of the palace, no flames were lit here.
When the Troy Palace was needed to burn it, Pei Ziyun had already arrived at the Greek camp, which made the Greeks no chance to go to Troy again.
There were corpses everywhere in the palace. Soon after approaching the palace gate, a young noble man was lying down. An arrow penetrated his eyes and saw the tip of the arrow behind him. He was still holding the root of the spear tightly, as if he was about to shout for a fight.
Further away, a maid died there, looking pretty, but at this time a blood hole was between her chest and abdomen. She opened her eyes and seemed unable to believe it.
The bodies were lying on the ground. After walking for a while, everyone did not see a survivor. They looked unhappy, because many of these people were known, but now they turned into cold corpses.
As everyone turned around the corridor in the palace, they suddenly came out in a hidden place.
Pei Ziyun had a little impression of these people. He often met when he entered the palace. He was the guard of the palace. At this time, he saw the queen, prince, and princess. His face was full of excitement and tears were shed.
"God, I finally saw you, and we all thought we would never see everyone again." As he said that, these noble young men choked up again.
As long as the royal family is still there, this city-state and this country can be established again.
"Don't be sad, everything will be fine, the Greeks have escaped." Although she knew that these people had escaped death, Queen Herbert comforted these people. When she saw the familiar people, she sighed in her heart that these people were all palace guards and the sons of elders and citizens in the city. She had often seen them when she traveled with Priames.
When he saw them again, the queen strengthened her confidence in reconstruction.
The queen wiped her tears and said, "Paris, we will be able to rebuild the city-state. Now you are the king of Troy."
She still didn't give up, and Introy was the lifelong hard work of her and her husband.
It is impossible to rebuild Troy City.
"No, Troy cannot be rebuilt, and I cannot be the king of Troy." Pei Ziyun shook his head and said, scanning everything around him, and said, "But you can build a city-state elsewhere."
Athena has clearly told herself that she was not allowed to rebuild Troy City on the original site, and Pei Ziyun also agreed and would not violate this regulation.
Because this is also the bottom line of the gods of Mount Olympus, it cannot be violated.
Kassandra is a prophet, and she naturally knows the meaning of Pei Ziyun's words. She said: "Mother, Paris is right, we must leave."
Everyone was sad. If possible, who would be willing to leave his hometown?
There are so many memories here that they leave the present city of Troy and go to other places to build new cities. Many people are unwilling to do so, but this is not based on their will.
The group continued walking and arrived at the boulevard. Seeing several relatively complete palaces, several hidden maids heard the sound, looked at them secretly, hurried out, and burst into tears.
Pei Ziyun stopped in front of a corridor full of vines, because there was a fountain that kept flowing around, spraying out warm winter and cool summer water, which was a suitable place.
"Go, take out the food and give it to everyone."
"There is a medicine warehouse not far away, and there are magical medicines. Use it to treat injured people!"
"Also, see if there are blankets in the warehouse. If so, take them out and cover them. Now everyone deserves to cherish."
The guards and maids in the palace were all educated people, and they quickly obeyed the orders.
"Go, let's go and meet our father." Pei Ziyun said sadly. The closer he got to God, the more magical he had, now, he could feel his father's body.
After hearing this, Helber, Cassandra, and Polycsena continued to go deep into the palace. Soon, he arrived at the Temple of Zeus in the palace. The temple seemed to have experienced looting, and there were some corpses scattered outside. These were the king's last warriors and the people guarding the temple. They were directly killed by the Greeks. The gate of the temple was unknown and the walls were full of traces of battle.
When I entered the temple, I saw blood at first sight, sprinkled on the ground. Beside the door was a female corpse, with her eyebrows frowned, and a wound on her chest. She stretched out her hands, as if she was still blocking the invader.
In front of the altar, a headless corpse was still sitting dead, with blood everywhere around it. A head was rolling not far away. The man saw that there was no fear and anger between his eyebrows and eyebrows, his lips slightly closed, as if he was still talking before his death. This was Priamus.
Although Queen Hulber was prepared for a long time, she couldn't help but shed tears when she saw this, and Cassandra and Polyxena also shed tears.
Pei Ziyun stepped forward and bowed to Priamus's body to show respect. He said to the soldiers who followed him: "Tell the girl to sew her head and body first, and then hold a funeral."
"There is no need to call the girls outside, we can do it." Cassandra said, Pei Ziyun was stunned for a moment, and then stopped and said, "This is OK..."
At this moment, a man hurried in and reported: "Elder Antenor, ask for the prince and queen."
After hearing this, Pei Ziyun's expression turned cold and he didn't say anything for a while. After a long time, he said: "Let Antenor come in."
After a moment, Antenol took his son into the Temple of Zeus. As soon as he came in, he hugged Pei Ziyun's thighs and begged loudly, saying, "Prince Paris, please forgive me, I did not betray the city of Troy."
Antenol's behavior made Pei Ziyun even more disgusted, but he did not kick it away immediately, but said coldly: "Antenol, the once respectable elder."
"I know you didn't betray Troy, and your son is fighting for Troy. If you betray Troy, I wouldn't allow you to live until now."
"But you showed kindness to the Greeks many times to protect Menelaus and Odysseus. The Greeks destroyed the city of Troy, not only did they not kill you and your whole family, but also allowed you to keep all your property."
