Chapter 548： Death of Paramodes

The Greek camp is not far from the beach, and it is a sheltered place higher up.

At this time, the camp was still very lively. Soldiers went to cut trees around to build trenches and fences around the camp.

Rows of camps were erected, and a number of tanks were pulled ashore by soldiers and arranged neatly in rows. Bags of grain were brought ashore and stacked in camps.

The soldiers dug trenches, artisans built watchtowers, and the camp gradually took shape.

Smaller ships on the sea were towed to shore when the tide was high, and the rocks were underneath the ships to prevent the bottom of the ship from being rotten by the tide.

A group of soldiers felled and collected wood, built wooden beds, picked up firewood, piled them up, placed them on the woodpile, and placed the body of Palotra Silas on it.

A small altar has been built against the woodpile. There is a pedestal in the center of the altar, on which the statue of Zeus is placed.

Compared with the confidence when landing, the morale of the Greek coalition forces was a bit low.

The heroes and the princes formed a circle, silently watching Palote Silas lying on the woodpile. At this moment, it was as quiet and peaceful as falling asleep, but everyone knew that he never did It's impossible to wake up.

His brother Padalkes was even more tearful: "Father, how can I tell you?"

The king of Ferrac came with two sons, Padalkes and Palot Silas, and Palot Silas was also a serious prince. He also had a lovely fiancee, Laodamia. The daughter of Urgo hero Acastos, she sadly said goodbye to him and sent him to fight. Now she will never see her fiance.

The princes were a little bit sad. They thought that Troy would attack when there were so many people. After all, Hercules led the dozens of ships to sack Troy and ransacked them all—now the first day he died. !!

The priests in the army put the offerings in the altar, took the clear water from the pot, sprinkled the altar and the offerings, and set up a woodpile, and sprinkled clear water on Palotra Silas.

The priest silently prayed to Zeus, hoping that he would look after the soul of Palote Silas.

Agamemnon fell to his knees, raised his hands and prayed loudly.

"Ah, dear Palotesilus, how sad you are to leave me, and hope that the great Zeus will bring your soul back to heaven, and I will wash away your shame and let the mean Trojans do it for you What they do today comes at a price. "

After praying, someone lit the woodpile with a torch, and the body was engulfed in the blazing fire accompanied by the woodpile.

The fire extinguished, leaving only a pile of ashes on the spot. Someone filled the ashes with porcelain pots and buried them under a lush elm tree in the bay.

The funeral was simple and solemn. The people gathered in a circle and slowly moved around the elm trees, remembering and remembering Palote Silas.

While the funeral was in progress, no one noticed Odysseus sneaking away. When he arrived at a camp, a servant came in and bowed: "Master, as I told you, I concentrated on the funeral and quietly turned one The gold was buried in Paramodes' tent. "

Odysseus gave a slight glance, lost a piece of gold, and said, "Good job, you can pack your gifts and return to your country today, saying it is to report peace to your family."

"Yes, master." The servant happily retreated.

Odysseus had a somber face and shouted another samurai. The samurai didn't know all this. He listened to the king and said, "I have a servant. I stole gold while I wasn't paying attention. I killed him secretly and threw it into the sea, and the gold was given to you. "

"Yes, respectable king." The samurai filled with indignation, and the servant stole the gold. It was supposed to be killed and chased out, and soon he heard a scream.

After Odysseus had done all this, he quietly returned to the funeral, remembering and reminiscing about Palotra Silas, and no one noticed anomalies.

The solemn funeral was over. The crowd dispersed and returned to the battalion. The soldiers stood guard and inspected. Each took their responsibility and everything returned to normal.

Odysseus returned to the camp, and wrote a letter to Paramodes on behalf of King Priamos, which mentioned gold and thanked Paramodes for promoting Monet Duel of Laos and Paris.

After seeing the letter he made himself, Odysseus smiled a little, and examined it carefully, and found that there was no problem, he got out of the camp and hurried to Agamemnon's camp.

Agamemnon's tent is in the center of the entire camp. The tent is the largest, the most luxurious and comfortable. The tent is covered with a thick woolen blanket. Agamemnon just returned from the funeral and was lying obliquely. The woolen blanket was thinking about the change of the whole war situation.

Odysseus hurriedly opened the curtain of the camp account, and as soon as he entered, he shouted eagerly, "Great commander, look, what is this?"

He passed the letter while talking, and Agamemnon hadn't responded in his thinking, but seeing that Odysseus was anxious and solemnly accepted the letter.

Just looking at the folded letter for a while, Agamemnon's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked, "Odysseus, where did you get this letter from?"

"Great Commander, this is when I went to Paramodes, he happened to be absent and found in the camp."

Agamemnon's hands shuddered and roared, "Hurry up and call your princes and heroes to my camp, and call me Paramodes."

The herald took the order and went on.

After a while, the prince and hero rushed to Agamemnon's camp, and Agamemnon handed them the parchment letter. Everyone looked at it, and his color changed.

The brothers Padalkes who died and the injured Menelaus were furious and drank: "It turned out that there was internal traitor, and we failed, even if he was the son of King Napleus." To kill him. "

At this point, Paramodes entered the tent and saw the angry Greek prince and hero.

Agamemnon handed the letter to Paramodes, who had just walked in. When he looked at it for a while, he said, "What do you think?"

"This is a complete slander." Paramodes read the letter and shouted, knowing that someone was going to put him to death.

"While you said it was slandered and framed, it's good. I will now appoint a few people to form a trial team to review you. Without this, I will return you innocence."

"Commander Agamemnon, even if you ask someone to investigate, I am Paramodes innocent." Paramodes said.

"Odysseus, I will appoint you to be the trial judge of this trial group. All the princes are jurors. When you examine Prince Paramodes, you must make sure of the matter," Agamemnon said.

"Great commander, thank you very much for trusting me. I will definitely investigate the matter of Prince Paramodes and try to return him innocence."

Having said that, Odysseus ordered a search of Paramodes's residence, which surprised everyone, digging a lot of gold in Paramodes' tent.

When the jury met, he shouted, "The traitor should die."

Odysseus glanced around, and saw some princes bow their heads without saying a word, some princes filled with indignation, and some princes did not change their faces, and were happy.

"My plan is simple. Many princes may not see the problem, but Paramodes has offended many people. No one wants to speak for him."

"Most importantly, Paramodes, no **** speaks for him."

This is also an important reason why Odysseus framed Paramodes. For another person, speaking in divine will, this plan may not be successful.

"Moreover, the first battle was a bit unfavorable, it hurt morale, and there had to be a scapegoat, which is why our commander Agamemnon supported."

The current trial team, with the approval of Agamemnon, sentenced Paramodes to death.

"Hateful Paramodus, your mistake has caused Greece a huge loss. I now sentence you to death on behalf of the coalition."

Odysseus said, "Paramodes, for the sake of being a prince, we can kill you with a sword instead of a sword."

Paramodes saw the conspiracy, but was unable to present strong evidence of his innocence and framed person. The betrayal of him was "conclusive evidence". In any case, he couldn't argue.

When he was pulled to the execution ground, he knew that the only gods who could save himself now were the gods, so he held up his hands and said, "Ah, Greeks, you will kill a learned, innocent singing best nightingale."

The prince present laughed at this peculiar defense, and in their opinion, what Paramodes said was as weak and pale as he was not.

In fact, Paramodes said this to the gods, and he knew that as long as a **** was willing to help, he could live.

"Execution ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Odysseus heard a scalp. Although he knew that no **** would help him, what if a **** suddenly woke up?

Immediately after the order, the rocks and raindrops were thrown at the Paramodus on the field.

Desperate, Paramodes shouted, "Truth, please, for you have finally died in front of me."

When he shouted loudly, Odysseus listened and sneered: "At this point, Paramodus, you are not willing to ask the gods, but you are shouting the truth."

"Can truth help you?"

Even so, I was still afraid of night long dreams, and I smashed a big rock with a force. He hit Paramodes' head on the spot. He moaned and fell to the ground.

Agamemnon waited indifferently, waited for the theologian to confirm Paramodes' death, and then ordered that Paramodes be buried.

Paramodes was identified as a traitor to Greece and sentenced to death, so he was not eligible for a grand funeral like that of Palote Silas.

Therefore, he can only be buried, not enjoying cremation.

Agamemnon also thought that he was a king, and ordered him to be buried, otherwise it would likely leave him a mob in the wilderness.

The surrounding princes and heroes looked at everything silently. Few people showed sympathetic eyes. Even Menelaus, who had a good impression on him, did not like him because of the provocation of Odysseus during his last mission. Some are just hate.

Olympus, the gods looked at all this, as Odysseus thought, his face was indifferent.

Only the goddess of justice, Nemesis, looked at the sky because of her duties, and decided to punish the Greeks and Odysseus who deceived them to commit crimes, causing them disaster.

"Despicable Greeks, you will be punished for your lost justice, and I will let you know that justice is never missing."
