Adhering to the idea of ​​not taking advantage of usurpers, the old king Priam did a lot of things like burning fields and destroying temples.

Every time he burns a temple and destroys a field, it is equivalent to offending a small group of nobles.

When Fang Chengmu's gang of civilians overwhelmed him, except for his royal guards, no one was willing to work for him.

Priam stood on the high platform of the palace, angrily yelling at the guards to kill Fang Chengmu.

The three captains of the guards are all Fang Chengmu's people, how could they go to arrest Fang Chengmu.

Out of loyalty to the royal family, the three of them, A Chang, A Short, and A Bing, put down their weapons one after another.Neither help the king, nor turn against each other.

The rest of the guard lost their leader, and when they saw the surging crowd, they suddenly lost their minds.

Priam was terrified.He thought that once the usurper Pandarus died, he could sit back and relax.

No, he had sons, and Hector and Paris.

The old king thumped the drums on the edge of the dais.The sound of the drum can wake his sons from their early morning sleep.

Only Hector came out of the house, and Paris was long gone.

The old kingdom said to Hector: "My son, let them see that the majesty of the Trojan monarch cannot be offended."

On weekdays, the palace guards can resolve all disputes, so Hector didn't come out when he heard the movement.

This time my father rang the drum of anxiety on the high platform.It was only knocked on when the disaster of genocide was a last resort.

Hector climbed up to the gate of the palace, and saw Fang Chengmu standing at the front of the crowd at a glance.

Fang Chengmu still wanted to resolve this matter peacefully.The civilians led by him gathered at the gate and had not yet launched an attack on the palace.

He looked at the prince's head on the gate, and shouted: "Hector, you and I met once, and persuade your father to leave the throne. He is suspicious and indecisive, and he must never be the king of Troy again."

Priam listened from the dais, angrily beating the drum with his staff.

Hector was also angry: "You are a foreigner with a vicious mind. When you fell, my father kindly took you in. You are so despicable!"

As soon as he said that, he immediately picked up a long halberd in his hand and threw it at Fang Chengmu.

This time Fang Chengmu didn't hold back anymore, he waved his umbrella casually, and easily pushed Hector's flying halberd away.

The onlookers all stared wide-eyed.

Although Hector didn't have any blessings from the gods, his strength was recognized as the greatest in Troy. Even Pandarus, who used to hold the arrow of the sun god, wanted to give him three points.

How could Fang Chengmu pick up his flying halberd so easily?

unless……

A bad premonition floated in Hector's heart.

Fang Chengmu pierced the last window paper: "Hector, don't you understand? Since the gods want me to take charge of Troy, of course they want to restore my divine power."

As soon as Fang Chengmu raised his hand, the owl in the sky rushed down.

The fierce wind blew Hector's cheek sorely.

Fang Chengmu didn't intend to hurt Hector, but just asked the owl to blow a gust of wind.When the hurricane arrives, people are thrown off their feet.The gate of the royal palace was knocked open by the hurricane casually.

But the voice of the man who drove the eagle was cold: "Priamos burned the temple, destroyed the heaven, disregarded the loyal and the wicked, and killed the righteous indiscriminately. The heaven is ruined, and he still doesn't abdicate to let the virtuous?"

In the face of a huge miracle, the defense of mortals seems pale and powerless.

Priam still had to make the final struggle: "God of War in the clouds, if you still remember the piety of your people, please defeat the challenger to the throne in front of me for me."

Ares, the god of war, would not hear his prayers.Because Ares was still asleep in his dreamland.

Priam despaired.He is so sorry.What I regret most is that I didn't burn the remaining temples and fertile fields these few days, which made Fang Chengmu cheaper.

Priam cursed: "The new king of Troy, you will die on the battlefield. Mycenae's spear and halberd will pierce your heart."

Fang Chengmu didn't believe in cursing, so he thought Priam was cursing.

Of course he had to scold back: "Hurry up and accumulate some morals. You even scolded your own son."

Both Priam and Hector were startled.

Hector will be the new King of Troy?

Fang Chengmu thought very far.

No matter how popular he is now, his prestige comes from the common people.

The reason why those nobles didn't come out to stop him was not because they supported him, but because they simply hated Priam's tyranny.

If he came to the throne by himself, this group of nobles would definitely not be convinced, and eventually the country would be torn apart.

The Mycenaeans are about to attack, so they simply find someone who can convince the crowd to be the king, so as to avoid infighting.

Fang Chengmu announced loudly: "It's only natural for a son to succeed his father. Besides, Hector is not as stupid as you!"

Hector had nothing to say this time.

He had been staring at the throne for a long time.When the opportunity comes to him, he will never let it go.

Hector waved his hand and shouted to the old king on the high platform: "My father, please hand over your crown to my hand."

What king would surrender his crown?Priam's face was livid: "As I curse, the king of Troy will die in battle."

"Since it is an arrangement of fate, I will not refuse."

To be the king of Troy is the highest honor for a Trojan.Death is nothing to them.

Priam, who lost his throne, took off the crown and threw it to Hector.

Hector couldn't wait to put on the crown.

An inexplicable sense of sacredness surged in his heart, he is the king of Troy, and he is the master of this land!

He opened his arms and enjoyed the cheers of all peoples!

At this moment, the abdicated Priam jumped from the high platform and ended his life.

Hector didn't even notice his father died.

Where the throne is, so is his father.The life of the father is in the golden crown on his head, and he will live forever with his blood.

As for the unrecognizable corpse lying on the ground, he waved his hand and carried it away.

Hector immediately felt that Fang Chengmu was his lucky general.

It was the great oracle brought by Fang Chengmu that pushed him to the throne of king.

He quickly welcomed Fang Chengmu into the palace.

Fang Chengmu pointed to the civilians behind him: "They also worked hard for most of the day to pass the message to you, so they should reward you with something."

Hector obeyed.Without frowning, each person was rewarded with a bag of wheat, and everyone had a good impression of the new king.

Fang Chengmu said again: "Aeneas should also be released."

Hector did not forget his brother.It's just that Aeneas was so drunk that no one could tell him off.

Fang Chengmu spread his hands.Had I known that Priam was so easily overthrown, I wouldn't have used Dionysus to get Aeneas drunk.

Hector was busy, only for one thing.

The new king was more sane than his father.

He had fought against the Mycenaeans and knew them to be formidable.Without God's protection, Troy would surely be a ruined city.

He prayed to Fang Chengmu: "Messenger of the God of War, you can not only give me the decree to become king, but also tell me how to repel the powerful foreign enemies."

Fang Chengmu had already thought of a way, but at this time he had to play hard to get.

He plausibly said: "The Mycenaeans came from afar just to get back their princess. As long as you are willing to hand over Helen, the war will naturally end."
