Chapter 734: Chapter 141: Friendly Forces in Trouble, Remain Steadfast as a Mountain (6.6k)_2 Chapter 734: Chapter 141: Friendly Forces in Trouble, Remain Steadfast as a Mountain (6.6k)_2 As if to confirm what they had seen, the sky above the Temple darkened abruptly, the dome of the sun and moon shone together, stars sparkled, and lightning flashed continuously with thunder roaring.

Following that, the sky turned into a bow, the star-trails into arrows, and the solemn divine might concentrated at its peak. A beam of Gold light, carrying the force of a Thunderbolt, fell like a comet, striking in front of the Guardian God’s statue on the altar.

In an instant, fierce flames surged up, completely igniting the Sacred Flame of the gods that had been dormant for many years.

However, the faces of the Trojan Royal Family, who had received the response from the Deities, showed no joy; instead, their expressions became even more fearful.

For, the Sacred Flame on the altar that should have been Gold, turned into billowing black smoke, a red inferno, with a strong stench of burnt flesh permeating from it, engulfing the entire Temple, nearly causing one to vomit.

This was an evident bad omen.

Through the flickering flame light, people vaguely saw Paris falling in front of the altar, and as the divine light that enveloped Troy disappeared, the tightly closed city gates were blasted open.

...

Countless ferocious Greeks surged into the city, flames of Destruction soared into the sky, and the city turned into rubble, heaps of charred bones breeding swarms of mosquitoes and flies, scavenging crows, and vultures descended from the sky to feed on the dead, feasting on their livers and flesh.

With perception becoming increasingly clear, walking into the purgatory of fire and observing the remains of the dead, people were shocked to see familiar faces, clothing, accessories, and Armor.

Those were their subjects, their loved ones, and themselves!

Woo—!

In a trance, numerous frightful resentful spirits emitted sharp roars in the flickering flames, seemingly wanting to break through barriers and drag all living beings into Hell.

As the bone-chilling cold and dreadful wailing filled their minds, everyone in the Temple suddenly awoke, looking fearfully towards the blazing Sacred Flame on the altar.

There, it was still the memory of red!

“Destruction! The Greeks have come to destroy us! The gods have warned us!”

“Exactly, this war has nothing to do with the woman, it’s all a Greek Conspiracy!”

“I’ve said it before, they’ve attacked Troy more than once, they are our mortal enemies, we must never reconcile with those Greeks!”

The crowd buzzed with passionate discussion, furiously agitated, and no longer any voices suggesting to hand over the Queen of Mycenae and Prince Paris.

For, the Sacred Flame on the altar had already given the oracle:

Prince Paris is both the Divine Grace bestowed upon Troy by heaven and the bond that connects the Deities with Troy.

Once his life withers, the Supreme God’s protection over Troy will cease to exist, their Kingdom will fall, and all will perish when the city is breached.

“Great God Zeus above! The people of Troy will never submit, Victory shall be ours!”

The confidence brought by Divine Grace and the terrifying shadow of death caused everyone present to clench their fists and roar almost hysterically:

“War!”

“War!”

“War!”

The timid old King, caught up in the crowd, looked bewilderedly towards his most trusted son, Hector.

And Hector did not fail his expectations, calmly and rationally making a suggestion:

“Father, the flames of war have not yet fully ignited, there’s still a chance to salvage the situation, we should first prepare for defense and listen to the Greeks’ demands.”

“Good, let’s do as you say!”

The old King agreed repeatedly, stepping forward and grasping his son’s hand tightly.

“From now on, all military and personnel affairs of the Kingdom will follow your command!”

Hector nodded, and then issued his first order after taking control:

“First, escort Paris and Her Majesty the Queen back to their rooms, don’t let outsiders disturb them easily.”

Several members of the Divine Blood Guard trembled as they entered the door, escorting Prince Paris and the Queen away from the scene.

With the lessons from their colleagues before them, they naturally did not dare to slack off.

After stabilizing the situation temporarily, Hector immediately bid farewell to his father, turned, and left the Great Temple to head to the military camp.

However, as he stepped out of the door, a graceful figure hurriedly followed.

“Cassandra? What are you doing here?”

Hector looked surprised as he watched his sister running up to him, lifting her dress along.

Cassandra was a unique existence in Troy, having been imbued with the capacity to hear the voices of the gods and foretell the Future since she was bathed in the serpent’s spit at the Temple of Apollo, thus becoming the Priestess of the Temple of Apollo.

Typically, with such an extraordinary gift and such a venerable position, she should be widely respected and supported.

But the reality was quite the opposite, the Trojans feared her considerably, even despising her a little.

For, the prophecies she spoke of often related to disasters, revealing the negative sides of the future, and the outcomes seemed predestined, with little chance of alteration no matter how much one struggled.

So, whether it was self-deception or denial, no one wanted to see Cassandra appear before them.

Even her family considered her an Enchantress who brought only misfortune, shunning her like a venomous snake.

Over time, Cassandra became increasingly reticent and her temperament colder.

Hector was probably the only person who could manage a few words with his sister, knowing beneath that cold exterior was a kind and gentle heart.
