Chapter 55 Telephus, King of Mysia

"Achilles, you are too impulsive."

After hearing Luo Yin say that he wanted to withdraw from the coalition, Odysseus immediately came over and said.

"Inphigenia, the daughter of King Agamemnon, is your fiancée. Chryseins is just the daughter of a barbarian who cannot be your wife. There is no need for you to fight against King Agamemnon for her."

The Greeks of this era regarded people from other regions as barbarians, and felt that the daughters of barbarians were not worthy of becoming Greek wives.

Hesione, the sister of King Priam of Troy, was a noble Trojan princess. After she became Telamon's trophy, she only became Telamon's favored concubine, but did not become Telamon's wife. First wife.

After Ajax snatched the beautiful princess Tecmesa from the Kingdom of Tertras, he could not make Tecmesa his wife because she was the daughter of a barbarian.

The aged King Nestor of Pylos also said to Luo Yin.

"Young Achilles! The first prize of the coalition should belong to the commander-in-chief Agamemnon. This is a reasonable rule. When we get another Asia Minor woman whose beauty is not inferior to Chryseins, I will definitely I will ask the commander-in-chief Agamemnon to give that woman to you."

Seeing that the other princes also wanted to persuade him, Luo Yin said with a smile.

"Dear princes, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I want to withdraw from the coalition, not only to keep the spoils that belong to me, but also to no longer obey the orders of the commander-in-chief Agamemnon."

"Achilles, you have to think clearly."

Luo Yin pointed the finger directly at himself, and Agamemnon suppressed the anger in his heart and said coldly.

"The food and grass supplies of the coalition forces are all dispatched and distributed by me, the commander-in-chief. If you withdraw from the coalition forces now, the coalition forces will not provide you with a grain of food and grass in the future."

"King Agamemnon, I have thought very clearly. From now on, my soldiers and I will no longer belong to the coalition, but we will fight side by side with the coalition on the battlefield."

After Luoyin finished speaking, accompanied by the sound of galloping chariots, Ajax led his men back to the coast of Troyin.

Luo Yin turned his head and saw that Ajax not only brought back a large amount of treasures, but also brought back King Telephus of Mysia, Queen Astyoch and Prince Eurypylus as prisoners.

Seeing Luoyin, Agamemnon and the princes gathered on the coast, before the chariot stopped, Ajax shouted from the chariot.

"Dear friends! Ajax the Great, son of Telamon, won the first battle of the coalition forces in Asia Minor. Now you can shout my name, and then I will share the spoils with you generously."

When Ajax had finished speaking, Telephus also shouted.

"Fellow countrymen! I am a Greek like you. I am Telephos, the son of the great demigod Heracles. You cannot do this to me."

Among the princes of the Greek coalition, there were Hercules' son Telepalmus and Hercules' two grandsons, Pheidipus and Andiphus.

After hearing what Telephos said, before the chariot of Ajax stopped, the three of them rushed over and surrounded the chariot of Ajax, demanding the release of Telephos and his family.

After asking Ajax to release Telephos, Telepalemus turned to Agamemnon.

"King Agamemnon! We came to Asia Minor to fight against the barbaric Trojans, not to attack our fellow countrymen. If Telephus, the son of Hercules, is treated as a barbarian and an enemy by you, I and my two My nephew will quit the coalition."

Among the one hundred princes who now form the coalition, Luo Yin has already withdrawn.

If Hercules' son and two grandsons quit again, more princes may follow suit.

So Agamemnon hesitated for a moment and then said to Ajax with an unhappy expression.

"Ajax the Great! Why did you launch a war against our fellow countrymen without asking whether the king who rules here is a barbarian or a countryman of ours? Now I ask you to release our countrymen and return to him the treasures you have stolen. "

Ajax had already received the glory of victory, so he did not care about freeing Telephus and his family and returning the spoils.

When Ajax was about to order the release of Telephus and his family, Luo Yin suddenly came to Eurypylus and said.

"Little prince, do you think the Greeks are your allies, or the Trojans?"

Eurypylos, who was only ten years old, stared at Luo Yin with hatred and said.

"You Greeks are our enemies, you Trojans are our allies."

"Then we Greeks are going to war with the Trojans. Will you help the Greeks or the Trojans?"

"When I grow up, I will personally lead the Mysian soldiers to help the Trojans destroy you."

Upon hearing Eurypylus' answer, the princes immediately burst into an uproar.

Patroclus said with a solemn expression.

"Friends! Although Telephus, the son of Hercules, is a fellow countryman of ours, his son regards us as our enemies. I am afraid that Telephus has been assimilated by the local barbarians. His wife is from a barbarian. Daughter, his son is a man from Asia Minor who is hostile to us. Do we really want to let our enemies go and give them the opportunity to cause greater harm to us in the future? "

Someone among the princes immediately shouted.

"Kill them! Even if the descendants of the demigod Hercules become our enemies, we cannot let them go."

Because Eurypylus showed strong hostility towards the coalition, Telepalemus, Pheidippus and Antiphos did not dare to ask for the release of Telephus' family.

After the princes' eyes focused on Agamemnon, Agamemnon's face was solemn and he did not make a decision.

Among the three descendants of Hercules, Telepalemus alone had ninety ships and four thousand five hundred soldiers, making him the king with the most troops in the coalition.

Because the three descendants of Hercules played an important role in the coalition, Agamemnon did not want to personally order the killing of Telephus and his family.

"Ajax the Great!"

Luo Yin walked to Ajax the Great and said.

"It seems that King Mysiae is a hot trophy for you. Now you hand them over to me! I have withdrawn from the coalition. Even if I kill Telephus' family, I am not afraid of causing dissatisfaction among Hercules' descendants and friends."

The Greek coalition not only includes the three descendants of Hercules, but also Hercules' friends.

The elderly King Nestor is one of Hercules' friends.

Philoctetes, who was abandoned on the island of Lemnos by the Greek coalition, is a close friend of Hercules and inherited Hercules' bow and arrow.

Even the commander-in-chief Agamemnon did not dare to deal with Telephus' family at will.

Now that Luo Yin is willing to take over, Ajax the Great immediately said with a smile.

"Dear brother! To thank you, I am willing to give you half of my spoils."

"You are really generous."

"I won't be so generous to others! But you are not only my biggest competitor, but also my dear cousin."

"But I am not interested in the treasure you robbed."

After rolling his eyes at Ajax the Great, Luo Yin looked at Agamemnon and said.

"King Agamemnon! Troyon City is on the east coast of the Dardanelles, and now we have arrived at the coast of Mysia. Next, will you lead the coalition fleet to the coast of Troyon, or stay at the coast of Mysia?"

"How our coalition will act has nothing to do with you who have already withdrawn from the coalition."

After responding to Luo Yin in a cold voice, Agamemnon turned around and said as he walked towards his flagship.

"Everyone get on board, we will reach the coast of Troyon in another day of sailing."
