We must stop the nobles from killing each other!

Fang Chengmu thought so.But his fellow civilians didn't take it seriously.

They wondered: why prevent a noble duel?

From top to bottom, Troy is intoxicated with glory and dignity.

Better die in a duel than live a coward.

Seeing that the nobles were about to fight for their fate, the commoners cheered for them instead.

Fang Chengmu covered his face and sighed, it was really nerve-wracking to domesticate such a nation.

Cupid, who threw Odysseus into the sea, flew over with a small wine jar in his arms.That was the reward God of War gave him.

Cupid landed on Fang Chengmu's shoulders, he also likes to watch theaters, shouting cheers with commoners.

Fang Chengmu didn't want to reprimand the ignorant civilians, so he picked up Cupid's wings to vent his anger: "Why do you look so happy at the moment of human life?"

Cupid hugged his small wine jar tightly, and pressed half of his face against it, pitifully wronged and sad: "You were also very happy when you held the sports meeting, why did you reprimand me for it?"

"No one dies in a sports meeting. Fighting for life is not a sports meeting."

"Who said that people can't die. Didn't the long-distance runner run to death?"

Fang Chengmu was speechless.Speaking of it, it seems that their sports meeting is also fighting with their lives.There is no essential difference from this big duel.

Those who dare to risk their lives are the real warriors.

So unlike Fang Chengmu, who expects his people to prosper and prosper, the Trojans don't take their lives seriously at all.

Fang Chengmu thought it was a civil strife, and they thought it was just a big sports meeting.

Fang Chengmu was running around in a hurry. Could it be that he had to take action himself now to end the civil strife with war?

Fang Chengmu waved the paper umbrella in her hand and looked up at the owl hovering in midair.His umbrella and eagle have not been moved for a long time.

He forgot to let go of Cupid for a moment, and Cupid's calf kicked him hard: "Go and be your judge, and don't hold on to the audience."

judge?

Fang Chengmu suddenly remembered his duty.

He is the magistrate elected by the citizens' assembly, and all sports in the city-state belong to him!

If a duel is no different from a sports meeting, of course he can also judge this big internal strife that affects the fate of the country.

Cheng Mu, the official referee of Troy's competition, quickly jumped up to the high place of the gate tower of the palace.

Just like when he was in a sports meeting, he lived on a wooden platform several feet above the ground.

The competition referee looks down at the athletes, admiring their competition like gods in mid-air.

The nobles who were preparing to duel watched their referee take his place, and cheered him like before the start of the sports meeting.

Fang Chengmu cleared his throat and announced to everyone: "Warriors of Troy, the gods love your courage."

The people below heard that the gods were very satisfied, and the shouts became more intense.

The real god Cupid also yelled among the crowd, and he infected the atmosphere of the scene unconsciously.

Fang Chengmu continued to fool around: "In the name of the sports referee, I declare to you the will of the gods. Not all of you are qualified to participate in this honorary duel."

Everyone was thrown a bucket of cold water immediately. Why didn't the gods allow them to be honored?

Fang Chengmu explained: "Long-distance running, sprinting, racing cars, etc. all need preliminaries. Have you passed the preliminaries?"

Everyone shook their heads unanimously.There is no preliminaries for such things as duels, and two people duel, where can we find a third person to fight a preliminaries first?

Fang Chengmu said: "The warlike Zeus has arranged for you opponents in the preliminaries. The fleet of Mycenae is heading towards Troy. Only those who kill more than a hundred enemies are eligible to compete for the championship."

It's only now that everyone has fully figured it out.It turned out that recently it was rumored in the city that the Mycenaeans were going to attack Troy again, and it turned out that Zeus sent them to do the preliminaries.

Killing hundreds of enemies is not an easy task.It is precisely because it is not easy to complete, but it arouses the desire of the proud nobles to challenge.

The eldest prince Hector raised his halberd and said boldly: "One hundred Mycenaeans, nothing to worry about."

Others followed suit and swearing.They yelled passionately in front of the palace gate for most of the night, and then they dispersed.

The laboring magistrates have been deafened by their noise.

Fang Chengmu came down from the gate wearily.

Aeneas was the first to meet him and pulled him aside: "You are not afraid of death if you falsely preach the oracle."

Fang Chengmu did not change his words, insisting that this was the oracle.

Aeneas shook his head: "My mother has told me that Troy must perish. She even planned the way out for me."

There were tears in the boy's eyes.Although he was arranged by fate to avoid death, he did not want to leave his hometown.

What's more, his mother told him that he could only take two or three close friends with him, and if he took too many, he himself would be punished by heaven.

Aeneas held Fang Chengmu back, just wanting to run with him.Compared with other people in the city-state, Fang Chengmu is the most transparent.

Instead, Fang Chengmu comforted him: "What the goddess of fate said is not all right. Have you never heard of changing fate against the sky?"

Aeneas slumped in fright.He is the son of the gods, he can despise mortals, even the lower gods are not in his eyes.

But that was fate.Even Zeus did not dare to defy the power of the goddess of fate.

Fang Chengmu thought for a while, and decided to change the rhetoric they could accept: "Fate pushes us to death, and tells us to fight unremittingly. I'd better stay and fight."

Aeneas didn't look at Fang Chengmu like a monster.Those who are not afraid of death and are willing to fight against fate are true heroes.

Aeneas had to wait until the city was broken to leave. Before leaving, he also wanted to do some heroic deeds of resistance like Fang Chengmu.

Fang Chengmu has long been prepared to defend against the enemy.He took out a blueprint from the military secondary technology tree that had just been lit.

Schematic diagram of the formation of the army.

The first level of the military technology tree is "Speak in Front".The second level unlocked is "Army Arrangement".

There are many drawings of the military formation inside.The goose-shaped formation used to outflank and outflank, and the rear formation for food protection and marching.

The technology tree uses an algorithm to recommend the most suitable formation for the Trojans to fight.

Tortoise shell spear array.

Fang Chengmu had heard the name of this formation in some unofficial histories.

According to legend, Mengtian conquered the Xiongnu in the west, and the Huns were defeated and fled into the mountains.When General Meng wanted to pursue the victory, he met a group of soldiers with spears and shields who came to block the way.

The shields are displayed outside in the shape of a tortoise shell to defend against long-range bow/crossbow attacks.

Long spears protrude from the gaps in the tortoise shells. Anyone who wants to break the tortoise shell shield with a knife and ax in close combat must pierce the throat for these long spears.

At the beginning, the cavalry led by Meng Tian were the guards who could not break through the spears and tortoise shells, so they had to return angrily.

Fang Chengmu's mind was a little confused.

The reason why Meng Tian suffered was because the tortoise shell array was set up in the valley.There are steep mountains on both sides, and only one path is feasible.Otherwise, his cavalry would go around directly from both sides, and the tortoise shell with limited mobility would not be able to catch up with the cavalry's footsteps.

Troy has mountains on its back and faces the sea.The gates of the city are all flat ground, so it doesn't seem to make much sense to set up a tortoise shell array.

It wasn't until Aeneas practiced the formation according to the pattern and swung it under the city gate that Fang Chengmu yelled that it was not good.

Aeneas didn't see it at all, and kept praising: "What a powerful formation. Even Hector can't get past it."

Hector under the city tower seems to be addicted to playing.He charged again and again on horseback, and was forced back by the spear again and again.He was particularly unwilling, how could he not break through such a small army formation?

The other Trojans saw that there was such a wonderful thing, and they took up arms one after another, and wanted to rush him.

This is good, the battle has not started, and a few warriors will be lost first.

They were not as good at riding as Hector.He rushed so fast that he couldn't stop the car, and even the man and the horse threw themselves into the spear.Blood stained shields and gun barrels red.

The most terrible thing is that the two people who died were the husbands of the maids brought by Princess Helen.

Women don't care about glory, they just want a husband who loves them.

The maids who became widows couldn't hold back the more they thought about it, and they ran to the princess crying and said: "Damn Aeneas, he must be jealous of your husband Paris, so he took his anger on our husband."

Helen happened to be angry too.

A few days ago, Pandaros rebelled, and Aeneas only asked the eldest prince Hector to quell the rebellion, but did not call the little prince Paris.

After the death of Pandarus, both Hector and Aeneas were rewarded by the king, but Paris was reprimanded and has since become synonymous with cowards in the city.

How could Helen not be angry that her husband had been humiliated so far by everyone.

It's all the fault of Aeneas!

Helen gave advice to her maids: "I tried to introduce you to Priam. You have to deal with Aeneas later on."

In less than half a day, the old king had two more lovers who murmured all day that Aeneas was not.

One said: "Aeneas killed our husband, and he will kill your prince in the same way."

Another said, "He's going to kill the royal family so he can be king."

The old king was a little suspicious.Climb to the high platform in the palace overnight.I saw that the torches were brightly lit outside the city, and Aeneas was training the soldiers overnight.

The gate of the palace opened a crack.The little prince Paris stayed up in the middle of the night and was going to sneak out of the palace.

The old king stopped Paris: "What are you going to do?"

Helen had already told Paris how to answer.The little prince raised the spear in his hand: "I will either smash Aeneas' army formation, or die in front of it, so that I am not a coward!"

Paris' performance is exactly what the two lovers said.

The old king immediately believed what they said.Aeneas is really going to kill his sons!

Priam stood on the high platform and shouted: "Royal guard, royal guard. Go and smash Aeneas' army to pieces, and then bring him back to the palace!"

Today coincides with Fang Chengmu's good apprentice and long-distance running champion A Chang taking the role of captain.

The eye-catching A Chang accepted the king's request, and at the same time asked someone to report the news from the palace to Fang Chengmu.
