Chapter 5 Agamemnon Wants Cassandra

Mysia.

When Loin brought the beautiful captive Chrysaea here, Teuklos had already defeated Telephus, the son of Hercules, and was celebrating his victory in the palace.

In the banquet hall of the palace.

Teuklos sat on the throne and drank happily. He held Eurysax, the son of Ajax the Great, in his arms, and beside him was Tecmesa, who used to be his sister-in-law and now belonged to him.

Loin took Chrysaea into the banquet hall and said directly to Teuklos.

"Teuklos, it seems that you are very satisfied here. You will stay here to rule Mysia in the future!"

"Neoptolemus..."

Seeing Loin and Chrysaea, Teuklos put down the wine glass in his hand and said.

"Won't you allow me to return to my hometown?"

"It's not me who doesn't allow you to return to your hometown, but your father Telamon. Before you avenge Ajax the Great and kill the hateful Odysseus, your father Telamon will not allow you to enter the port of Salamis. But you don't have the strength to kill Odysseus, so you can never return to your hometown. You stay in Mysia to raise the son of Ajax the Great, and let him return to his hometown to inherit the throne of Telamon in the future!"

Seeing Teukroth's dejected look, Luo Yin continued.

"And your rule over Mysia is also destined by fate. The maternal ancestor of the Trojans - the ancient king who ruled Mysia was also called Teukroth."

"If this is the fate arranged by the gods for me, I can only give up my wish to return to my hometown."

Teukroth sighed, and then said to Luo Yin with a serious face.

"Neoptolemus, if you bring Chryseins back to the Greek coalition camp, you will definitely anger Agamemnon, because Chryseins was once his slave."

"You don't need to worry about me. Even if Agamemnon has the support of 100,000 troops, he can't defeat me. What's more, Agamemnon is only the king of kings in name. If he is stupid enough to challenge me, I don't mind changing a commander for the Greek coalition."

After saying goodbye to Teoceros, Luo Yin took Chryseins by boat to leave the Mysia Bay and return to the Greek coalition camp.

When Luo Yin's ship arrived at the coast of Troyon, the Greek coalition had completed the burial of the dead.

The princes of the Greek coalition gathered around Agamemnon and were discussing how to find the old hero Philoctetes who was abandoned on the island of Lemnos.

Philoctetes was also a person who had experienced three heroic ages. He was a friend of Hercules and inherited Hercules' bow and arrow after Hercules' death.

Calchas, the prophet among the princes of the Greek coalition, told them that only when Philoctetes came to Troy with the bow and arrow of Hercules could the Greek coalition break Troy.

Seeing Troy with Chryseins to the camp, Agamemnon immediately looked unhappy and brought the princes to Troy.

"Son of Achilles! It seems that you really occupied Mysiae and captured the beautiful Chryseins. In the past, Achilles once offered Chryseins to me and made Chryseins my slave. Now are you willing to follow Achilles' example and let me get Chryseins again?"

Agamemnon dared to ask for Chryseins from him, and Troy said with a playful sneer.

"King Agamemnon! You asked me to give Chryseins to you. Aren't you worried that Apollo, the rat, will shoot a plague arrow at you and take your life?"

In the past, Agamemnon was unwilling to return Chryseins to Chryses, the priest of Apollo. Apollo created a plague in the camp of the Greek coalition forces and took many lives.

Thinking of the horror of the plague, Agamemnon had to give up asking for Chryseins and warned Luo Yin.

"Son of Achilles! Since you know that Chryseins' father is Apollo's favorite priest, aren't you worried that Apollo will spread the plague in your camp?"

"I will let my soldiers drink only boiled water and eat only cooked food, and do a good job of preventing the plague."

After that, Luo Yin no longer paid attention to Agamemnon and took Chryseins back to his barracks.

Night.

Inside the barracks illuminated by candlelight.

Lu Yin asked Chryseins to serve him dinner.

Looking at Chryseins' clumsy appearance, Brodamia said with some dissatisfaction.

"My master, are you dissatisfied with my service? Why do you give my work to Chryseins?"

Is Brodamia jealous?

With Achilles's years of development, Luo Yin believes that Brodamia's service ability must be very high.

Unfortunately, she is Achilles' woman, and Luo Yin has no interest in women who have been used by other men.

"Brodamia! Even among the gods, Hermes will respect Leto because she is Zeus' wife. You are Achilles' woman, so I don't want to use you as a slave."

"But I-"

Brodamia wanted to say something to Luo Yin, but she was like being strangled by the neck and could not say these words.

In the end, Brodamia had no choice but to give up and said dejectedly with her head down.

"My master! Whether in the past, present, or future, my master is always only you."

The next morning.

Luo Yin just woke up from his sleep and saw Odysseus enter the barracks and said.

"Neoptolemus, after discussing with the princes last night, we decided to let you and I go to Lemnos to pick up Philoctetes."

"No!"

Luo Yin refused without hesitation.

"Odysseus, you are a truly smart man. Do you really think that we need the bows and arrows of Philoctetes and Hercules to break Troyon?"

Odysseus shook his head without hesitation.

No matter how good Philoctetes' archery skills are, it will not help in attacking Troyon.

After all, the princes of the Greek coalition are all descendants of gods, and the last thing they lack is sharpshooters who can hit the target every time.

The gods asked the Greek coalition to take back the bows and arrows of Philoctetes and Hercules just to get Hercules to participate in the Trojan War.

Although Hercules was an invincible hero among humans when he was alive, Heracles, who became Hercules after his death, was only a weak god of low status among the gods. His ability to interfere in the Trojan War was not as good as that of the river god Scamander.

Therefore, the Greek coalition forces had to have Hercules' bow and arrows to break through Troy. It became a task that the Greek coalition forces had to complete.

Philoctetes was just an accessory to Hercules' bow and arrow.

"Neoptolemus, although Philoctetes is of no help in breaking Troy, we must complete the gods' requirements for us."

"That is the gods' requirement for you."

Luo Yin put on his strappy sandals, walked out of the barracks with his spear and said.

"Odysseus! I will use my own strength to break Troy. If you want to take Philoctetes back, go by yourself."

After that, Luo Yin left the camp and walked towards Troy in the distance.

After Odysseus followed Loyin out of the barracks, he looked at Loyin's back and sneered.

Agamemnon's barracks.

The princes who supported Agamemnon were drinking and having fun with Agamemnon here. Each of them had a beautiful Trojan woman serving them.

Thinking that the beautiful Chryseins would be held in Loyin's arms and played with, Agamemnon drank the wine in the cup in one gulp and said.

"My dear friends, when we follow the will of God to welcome Philoctetes back, we will soon be able to break Troy and fulfill our ten-year wish. After occupying Troy, the beautiful Trojan princesses Creusa, Laodic, Cassandra, and Polyxena will all belong to us, including Hector's beautiful wife Andromache. As the commander of the coalition, I want to get the priestess of Pallas Athena, the beautiful and noble Cassandra."

In order to serve the gods, Cassandra has vowed to never marry.

Pallas Athena rewarded her for her ability to predict.

But because Cassandra vowed to never marry and refused Apollo's pursuit, she was cursed by Apollo, causing no one to believe her predictions.

Hearing Agamemnon's words, Ajax's eyes flashed with jealousy, and he decided to get Cassandra, who was coveted by the god Apollo, first.
