King of Underworld

The Peculiar Trojan War - Chapter 10

On the day of Thanatos, the Greek coalition made peace with Troy and withdrew. However, their journey ahead was far from smooth.

This was because Zeus, dissatisfied with the insufficient number of heroic deaths in the war, mobilized the gods of Olympus. On their way home, the Greek forces were guided into the jaws of sea monsters or stranded on mysterious islands, enduring countless hardships.

Among them, the most extraordinary fate befell Achilles.

Achilles and Patroclus, stranded on an island teeming with strange monsters, faced numerous trials.

Day 1:
They were forced to fend off a horde of attacking harpies. With the combined efforts of Achilles, Patroclus, and their still-considerable number of soldiers, they managed to drive the harpies away.

"Let’s build a ship and get the hell out of this cursed place as soon as possible!"
"L-look! There’s a flying monster headed this way!"
"Damn it. Everyone, draw your swords! Archers, prepare yourselves!"

Day 3:
Suddenly, a monstrous wolf charged into their camp, mauling and killing soldiers in its rampage. Dozens of soldiers were killed or injured before Achilles managed to wound its side with a spear, forcing it to retreat.

Grrrr!

"It’s a monster wolf! Arrows just bounce off it!"
"Achilles! Isn’t your armor forged by the god of blacksmiths? Use it...!"
"I know. Patroclus! Haaah!"

One week later:
As the soldiers began cutting down trees to repair their ship, they were confronted by nymphs. Achilles revealed his divine heritage in an attempt to placate them, but it was too late. Some soldiers had already fallen victim to the nymphs' mischief, further demoralizing the men and exhausting the heroes.
