You have No Idea About the Enemy’s Luxurious Lineup

However, a wave of intense fatigue washed over him.

Though his body bore no injuries, his spirit was heavily drained, after a whole day of high-stress vigilance,

Anyone would be worn out.

Night, who had fallen asleep unknowingly,

Woke up not long after, disturbed by the pained moans of the injured around him.

He looked around, feeling momentarily out of place;

It was just a simulated universe...

Yet it felt as if he had truly traversed time.

When he came to his senses, seeing the desolate surroundings and wounded everywhere,

And with the sky growing increasingly overcast,

He had no idea when the Greek army would strike again.

Night: 'I can't just sit and wait...'

Who knew how long it would take to get close to Achilles at this rate?

This war was going to last ten years...

He didn't have that much time to wait patiently,

He had to expedite the course of this battle,

At the very least, he needed to hasten the conclusion of Achilles' fate!!

Constantly defending the city was not going to get him close to that great hero of ancient Greece.

He had to take the risk and join the battles where he could directly confront Achilles...

Night's mind started racing,

With his now strengthened and resilient spirit, his judgment remained cool, and his memory became sharper.

Information about the Trojan War from Greek mythology that he knew before crossing over became incredibly clear in his mind,

Even the timeline was vividly remembered.

For a moment, he truly found a well-documented opportunity for a direct confrontation with Achilles.

And this event was very close in time.

According to records,

After the Greek heroes initially landed and drove back Hector's ambush,

The fighting continued into the second day,

When the conflict paused briefly to collect bodies and bury the dead,

The Greek army would drag their ships ashore and camp nearby,

With the stronger Achilles and the more defensive Ajax on the outer flanks,

And Agamemnon, the leader and the military strategist Odysseus' tents in the center for better command and protection.

Afterward—

The Greeks would send envoys to negotiate.

This negotiation, naturally, would not go smoothly.

It was this failed negotiation that led the enraged Greeks to launch a full-scale attack.

After several unsuccessful sieges and three consecutive failures to breach Troy,

They would turn their attention to other city-states around Troy;

Including Tenedos Island, Lesbos Island, Pedasus City, and Lyrnessus City,

In the midst of this, Thebes of Poteia was also occupied.

This city was governed by Andromache's father, Eetion, who was Hector's wife.

And the one who led the army to conquer this city was none other than the great hero Achilles.

Within one day after the siege, he killed the seven brothers of Hector's wife, Andromache, and captured the two daughters of Apollo's priest, Chryses: Chryseis and Briseis.

Chryseis was sent to King Agamemnon of Mycenae.

This was a well-documented battle that Achilles participated in.

Although the result was a defeat…

Even the daughters of the god's priest were humiliated, and the ending was extremely dark.

But Night's main goal was to make contact with Achilles, even to the point of engaging in battle—this was something that was bound to happen upon their meeting.

To face Achilles head-on and survive, the chances were not simpler than drawing ten gold cards in a card game.

In other words—

'The result is not important; what matters is the process…

As long as I can make contact with Achilles, after the battle, whether I survive or die under that divine spear, it doesn't matter to me,' Night thought, a cold glint flashing in his calm eyes.

From beginning to end, what he needed was clear: to maximize the benefits from this war,

Achilles' destiny (hero template)…

Even if he dies afterward, it would only mean the end of this simulated universe test…

If unsatisfied, he could start over from scratch and there would always be another chance to conquer this universe.

He didn't have time to spend ten years here with the Greek army.

With that effort, it would be better to get the template early and become stronger in other simulated universes.

On this battlefield named the Trojan War, aside from being a mad, slaughtering meat grinder, there were no other opportunities to be found.

It was definitely not a good place to settle down, train, or learn skills…

Perhaps it could provide some experience in killing and mental toughness, which were among the few benefits.

And just as Night was thinking…

Both the Greeks and Trojans began to clean up the corpses on the battlefield,

Clearly, they had prepared an ambush, but the casualties were still so severe in the end.

Seeing the piled-up soldiers' corpses being cremated, especially the bodies found outside the city, which were several times more than those who died defending it,

Hector, the leader of Troy's defense, felt an overwhelming heaviness in his heart...

Hector: "It seems that we can't go out for skirmishes in the short term.

Before figuring out a way to defeat Achilles,

No one can match that guy in battles outside the city.

What a terrifying enemy...

We can only rely on the walls built by the sun god Apollo and the sea god Poseidon to barely hold back the Greek coalition."

Hector felt heavy-hearted but still managed to stay calm—It's said that the walls of the city of Troy were built by Apollo, the god of light, and Poseidon, the sea god, two of the twelve main Greek gods, using their divine power.

This is also why even the demigod Achilles could not directly destroy them.

Night's previous thoughts were correct, the city of Troy indeed had the protection of divine power.

Or rather, on the surface, this war seemed to be just between the Greek coalition and Troy,

But in reality, it was still a game between the gods.

The walls of Troy were indeed tall and sturdy, giving a strong sense of security,

However, even relying on the strength of the walls,

They could defend against the heroes' assaults, but still needed many soldiers to guard against enemies trying to scale the walls.

Honestly—

Hector wasn't very eager to continue this war.

The enemy was far stronger than imagined, and even with the divine walls, they could only protect them but couldn't help eliminate the enemy once they left the city.

At this moment, although he felt troubled, he hadn't yet realized the severity of the situation,

He was still thinking of relying on the defense of Troy's walls, waiting for a chance to counterattack from a desperate situation,

However, if Night could hear his thoughts, he would surely tell him how rare such a chance was...

In the future, Hector would even sacrifice himself to find Achilles' weakness.

It's easy to imagine how difficult and costly this counterattack opportunity would be, otherwise, the war wouldn't have dragged on for ten years.

Night understood well just how formidable the enemy lineup was, much more than Hector knew,

Therefore, he didn't expect Hector to help him take down Achilles alone.

He had also considered using his knowledge of mythical history to achieve great feats in the simulated universe,

It had been explained clearly before how to use the simulated universe to become stronger.

If he could leave a name on this battlefield of the Trojan War, where heroes gathered, he would surely gain great rewards.

And given his natural standing in the simulated universe, he could not possibly side with the Greek coalition that would ultimately win.

He could only stand with Troy, battling to the end against legends like Achilles and Odysseus.

But just by understanding a bit about the enemy's luxurious lineup,

One would know how difficult this would be.
