Chapter 650: The Spartans
Promise, who had a belligerent heart, leapt to his feet, swinging his sword and knocking out all the spears that were stabbing at him around him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
His body was still in mid-air, and Xu Yu had already quickly kicked his leg on a huge shield in front of him. With a heavy muffled sound, the shield broke directly from the place where it had been promised, and then slammed backwards and flew out under the action of great force.
The promise fell directly into the ranks of the Spartans. Densely packed all around, there were red cloaks and glittering shields and spears.
The sword in his hand was like a long rainbow piercing through the sun, and with a sharp whistling sound, all the spears that pierced him flew away. And the empty hand did not stop waiting for the slightest. The fist was like a heavy hammer, and each blow knocked out all the Spartan soldiers around him, even those with shields.
The Spartans were in high spirits after the fierce battles of the day. Outnumbered during the day, they easily defeated a large number of the Persian army with negligible losses, and achieved unprecedented results.
Under this strong stimulus, the morale of these Spartan soldiers was high, and their will to fight reached its peak.
However, just after the day's fighting, a man who was so strong that everyone could not believe it suddenly appeared, destroying all their pride and self-confidence in an instant.
Promise's body moved like lightning, and often the Spartan had already swung his sword several times in succession before he made a single movement, cutting off all the spears that were stabbing at him.
Although the Spartan soldiers around them were extremely numerous, they could not keep up with the promised speed of movement.
And the rows of spears, though piercing from all directions, could not really threaten the promise at all.
The speed of the promise is too fast. Whether it's the speed of movement or the speed of the shot. As for the dense shield walls that surrounded him in circles. It was almost vulnerable in front of the promised fist.
Like the soldiers of the Trojan period, these Spartan warriors were extremely physically strong, far beyond the level of modern humans.
They have outstanding endurance, strong strength, and skilled combat. What is more important is to have a strong combat conviction and courage.
Even if the performance of the promise has exceeded the scope of imagination, no one still chooses to back down. Instead, they did their best to maintain the promise of a siege by the spear formation.
However, they were destined to face an invincible opponent at this time.
If it weren't for the impossibility of knowing, these Spartans would even think that they were facing Xerxes, the king of Persia, who was blessed by a foreign god!
'Oh~~~' Xu didn't look back, but directly threw the sword in his hand behind him with his backhand. In a series of dense metal crashes, a whole row of spears stabbed into his back were swung apart by sharp swords.
At the same time, in front of Promise, there were seven or eight sharp spears piercing all over his body almost simultaneously. These Spartan soldiers were extremely experienced in combat, and the cooperation was almost seamless.
Xu Promise's eyes condensed slightly, and his left hand stretched out his palm and suddenly reached out and peeled off a few spears. Immediately, his body stepped forward and rushed into the spear array.
When Promise raised his elbow and slammed forward, knocking out all the shield walls in front of him. All of a sudden, his eyes brightened.
Before you know it, the promise has actually penetrated the entire spear phalanx!
The promise finally stopped. It was also because the Spartan warriors behind him did not attack him again.
At this time, the spear phalanx, which was originally tight and tight, with spears like a forest, was already in a mess at this moment. Spartan soldiers staggered to their feet. Spears and shields were scattered all over the place.
After promising to break through the phalanx of spears, these hot-blooded and warlike Spartans were finally able to calm down a little. Think about the battle that came before.
These fearless Spartan soldiers had never seen such a powerful man as Promise. Single-handedly piercing a phalanx of spears of hundreds of elite Spartan soldiers only exists in obscenity.
But today, the mysterious Oriental in front of him has really done it!
Promise turned to look at the Spartan soldiers who had begun to rearrange the queue, his eyes calm, and he did not have the slightest intention of stepping forward to stop him.
The Spartans were not reckless warriors, they were all trained soldiers. What soldiers need most on the battlefield is not to defeat the enemy single-handedly, but to form and cooperate closely.
Having a tight formation and coordination allows the soldiers to defeat the powerful rabble. The single-handedness of warfare has gradually become obsolete after the advent of regularized and professional armies.
Of course, if the individual's martial prowess can reach the level of promise. Military formations and coordination in any situation are useless, as it is now.
"Who are you?" The Spartans were elite after all, and they quickly reorganized their formation. It's just that this time he didn't pounce directly to fight, but let out of the gap and a burly muscular man came out. The strong man with abrupt muscles all over his body asked in confusion.
"I'm here to help you." Promise spread his hands and responded with a smile.
"Every attack you've made before has left a margin, and you didn't directly hit the killer." This burly man was none other than the Spartan king Leonidas, who had been carefully observing when he had promised to charge. saw that although the promise was ruthless, he did not mean to kill. He knew that the promise would certainly not be under the hands of the Persians.
"My name is Promise." Xu Promise smiled and stepped forward, "I'm here...... What's wrong with you guys? ”
As soon as Xu Promise said his name, the expressions of many Spartan soldiers on the opposite side changed dramatically in an instant. Looking at him was like looking at a monster.
"You said your name was a promise?!" Leonidas couldn't hold back his expression either, with a look of disbelief on his face, "A promise from the Eastern World?!" ”
"Am I that famous?" Xu Promise is also very puzzled, is he so famous here?
"In the Battle of Troy hundreds of years ago, there was a super strong man from the Eastern world named Promise." Leonidas stepped forward to the promise and looked at him with a fierce gaze: "This mighty warrior has defeated many Greek heroes, and even killed gods!" ”
Xu Promise raised his hand and touched his nose, "I didn't expect me to be so famous." ”
"The Trojans made a promise in honor of the strong man who helped Troy through the difficulties." Feeling the powerful aura on Promise's body, Leonidas's breathing gradually became rapid, "They erected a statue of him on the site of the destroyed Sun Temple. Hundreds of years have passed, and the statue has always been there! ”
"Troy is still there? Not destroyed? Xu was a little surprised, but then suddenly he was surprised.
At that time, the Greek coalition had collapsed and was no longer able to threaten the city of Troy. It's impossible to implement a Trojan horse or something. And by that time the Greeks had mobilized all the forces they could. After the collapse of the whole army, there can be no ability to do it again.
In fact, there is another important reason, although the legendary super strong man who still easily left under the combined attack of the gods did not reappear. But none of the Greek soldiers knew if they would ever encounter the mighty being who could kill the gods again if they set foot on the land of Troy again.
If the second battle of Troy is launched, God knows if the promise will come again!
Achilles had died in battle, and the gods themselves had not been able to leave a promise. If he reappears, will he beg the gods to deal with him on the battlefield?
"Are you really that promise?" Leonidas' eyes were filled with disbelief.
In this era, there was no advanced scientific and technological power, and the events of hundreds of years ago could only be recorded by word of mouth and written on parchment. Such a long time has passed, and the events of that year have long been transformed into legends.
And more importantly, Leonidas and others really have a hard time believing that anyone will really be able to live for hundreds of years. Immortality is really just a legend.
No matter how powerful a hero is, there is no room for resistance in the face of the incomparably sharp blade of time.
"It's like a fake." Xu Promise smiled, his eyes swept over the many Spartan soldiers who had rearranged their formations in front of him, and nodded slightly, "I am here this time to help you fight against the Persian attack. ”
In fact, the task given by the ring this time was to help the Spartans hold the hot springs for three days. It didn't seem to be too difficult, after all, there was nothing wrong with the promised strength against the Persian army.
Although the ring indicates that this world is not a real history, it is highly likely that there will be a great power in the Persian army. But for the promise, the so-called great power in his eyes is not taken into account at all. You must know that the promise is a strong man who has killed the gods.
He even promised to single-handedly rush into the army of the Persians and kill the king of the Persians, Xerxes. In that case, it won't be difficult to complete this mission.
However, the ring promises to make himself stronger by hunting down the gods who have fallen into their slumber. This means that he promises to spend most of his time running around fighting the gods.
If he had killed Xerxes, the Persian army would have collapsed in an instant, and his mission would have been accomplished.
After completing the mission, promise only a maximum of an hour to stay in this otherworld. If you exceed it, you will be rejected by the powerful world power and driven away.
If this is the case, then Promise does not have enough time to hunt the gods to strengthen himself. Therefore, he needed to help the Spartans hold the hot springs.
Both in real history and in the world of cinema, the Spartans managed to hold on for three days.
It seems that the task given by the ring can be accomplished even if it promises to do nothing. However, since the task is like this, it means that it will definitely not be so simple in these three days.
Moreover, the promise did not dare to risk such horrors.
If the hot springs are closed within three days, he will lose the opportunity to return to his hometown. For promises, this is the most terrifying thing!
