Chapter 177: Ajax angry

"Lyrnessus has fallen. Our first battle ended in great success," Patroclus announced, his voice carrying a tone of satisfaction.

The commanders and heroes of the Greek forces had gathered inside a large, well-furnished meeting tent, spacious enough to accommodate over twenty individuals. The atmosphere inside was thick with the heady scent of sweat, dust, and battle-worn armor. At the center of the tent stood a large wooden table, and spread across it was a meticulously detailed map of the Trojan territories.

The map was marked with strategic points—fortresses, rivers, and the path to Troy itself. Lyrnessus, once a powerful stronghold in support of the Trojan capital, had been a key obstacle to their campaign. Its fall now represented a crucial victory.
