Chapter Twenty-Eight: Into the City
All three battles were lost.
The Spartans were silent.
If they had only lost once, the Spartans might have been furious, and would have seen it a great shame to lose to the by mistake.
However, losing three times in a row, this can no longer be explained by mistakes, it can only be said that there is a huge gap between the strength of the two sides.
The Spartans respected the strong, and they looked at Aske in awe.
What kind of monsters are in your mercenary group (gender doesn't matter)!
To be able to lead these monsters, how terrifying is this regiment leader's skills?!
"That's it, right?" Asker smiled and asked, "If you still have to try, we'll only have non-melee classes like Mage, Gunner, Thief, and Medic on our side." ”
Spartans: ..................
They still want to try the strength of other people, but it doesn't seem to be for consideration or to save face, but to see how powerful other monsters are.
But Aske said so, and the Spartan warriors were not always good at pointing at a doctor and saying, "I'm going to fight you", shame.
So the Blue Sword and his party successfully joined the Spartan mercenary group and got on the bus to the city of Olympia as foreign aid.
"Actually, we're here to help Olympia." In the car, Rudasius and Aske explained, "Constantinople has fallen, and the Franks have established the Latin Empire there, and have installed Baldwin, Count of Flanders, as emperor. ”
"But after the siege, the industry of the Golden Horn was destroyed, and the Seljuks were wreaking havoc in Asia Minor, leaving the Latin empire without any financial support."
"So they have occupied Thrace, followed by Macedonia, and the ultimate goal must be to plunder the rich Ciris."
"In the foreseeable future, Thessaloniki City should not be able to hold on. But we can help hold Olympia like a nail in the march of the Latins. ”
"If they are going south to conquer Ciris, we will attack the back of their armies and cut off their logistical provisions. If they are going to storm it, we will repel them on Mount Olympia. ”
"Just like our ancestors led 300 warriors to repel the Illanian army at Thermopylae!"
"Roar!" The Spartans in the car roared in unison.
Asker groaned.
There was no such plot in the previous life, and it seems that because there are no players in this world, the hurricane set off by butterfly wings has changed a lot of plots.
In the previous game, after the players had beaten the Franks back, the Seljuks captured Constantinople.
This is followed by an attack on Cirith in the first version.
The first was the attack on Crete. Originally part of the Eastern Solomonic Empire, the island was sold to Venis after the fall of the imperial capital, a copy of the so-called "Battle of Crete".
In the end, the Seljuks won and captured the island from the Venisians, and then used it as a springboard to attack Syreus from the northeast and southeast.
The Spartans defended the Peloponnese, that is, the Seljuk landing party to the southeast. Olympia defended the Seljuk Army to the northeast.
The two forces defended Cirith together, but they never crossed paths on the battlefield.
And in this world, because the Franks preemptively captured Constantinople, the Latin Empire was formed.
Venis also destroyed Constantinople and took Crete as a trading hub, so he had no interest in Cirius at all.
The Spartans then had the strength to go north to support Olympia.
Of course, the enemies of Olympia this time are also different from the previous life.
The Seljuk enemies in the previous life were mainly composed of transcendent troops, that is, hierarchical transcendents, who controlled a massive mortal army without rank, as well as a large number of demons and transcendent creatures to attack.
As an arcane mage with a group damage AOE, it is not worth fighting these massive enemies.
In the Latin Empire this time, the army was composed of a large number of knights, knights' servants and levies, and these poor Frankish men were characterized by extraordinary strength, and their attributes were more flesh-oriented, and they were resistant to high blood and durable fighting.
Then it is not realistic to rely on output suppression alone.
An arcane mage who focuses on mental power is very injured when he is close to the enemy, even if he is controlled by the demigod Alexander's corpse, Lv.5's meteor rain suppresses the whole field, and he can't escape the fate of being taken away by a wave after being close to Asker.
Therefore, the support for the Spartans is also a relief for the official Olympia.
It was nothing more than that in the case of the blockade of free travel routes, these Spartans were still able to travel to Olympia in special vehicles.
The city of Olympia was built on the towering Olympus Snow Mountain, on which there is a giant tree of Eden, more than 1,000 meters high, and its name is Olympus......
Because of the twisting and turning of these Syris' names, they are tentatively referred to as Olin Mountain, Olin Tree, and Olin City.
Built on the inside of the trunk of the Olin tree, Olin City is a veritable "city in a tree".
Originally, the purpose of the Ciriths to build the city here was to obtain the flowers and fruits of the Olin Tree, namely the "Flower of the Tree of Eden" and the "Fruit of the Tree of Eden", which are potion materials for various sequences such as life and stealing.
In fact, the Olin tree itself is a huge and transcendent creature, and due to its excessive size and weight, its lower trunk has long been overwhelmed, and the ducts around the bark have almost been crushed and deformed.
The Cyris who built the city built it made a huge cavity around the trunk at the bottom of the tree and built a city in it, helping to support the cavity with high-strength materials, and by the way, protecting the conduit and ensuring that the water from the roots of the tree was continuously transported to the branches above the trees.
That's why the Olin tree grows so huge, and it forms a kind of wonderful and tacit symbiotic relationship with the people of Cyrith who live within it.
The bus traveled up the mountain road, and gradually the road extended to the roots of the trees, which were so large that at first they thought they were rocks.
The bus then drove into the tunnel, surrounded by only faint roof lights.
Suddenly, the car stopped.
"Here we are." Rudasius said this, and the leader stepped out of the car.
The men of the Blue Sword also got out of the car with the Spartans, and saw a military fortress at the end of the tunnel, guarded by heavily armed soldiers.
An aristocrat dressed as an officer was waiting there and shook Rudasius' hand vigorously.
"Quintus. Appios. The officer nobleman introduced himself as follows, "Welcome to Olympia, Spartans." ”
"Fight for the Empire." Rudasius gave a military salute.
Quintus looked behind him, his gaze falling on the Azure Sword Crowd.
It can't be helped, because the Spartans' attire is too obvious: wrought iron sheet armor, heavy infantry helmets, steel greaves, and a red cloak (used to wrap corpses after being killed in battle).
In comparison, these people in the Azure Sword have full body armor, half-body armor, chain armor, iron armor, cloth armor, leather armor, and all kinds of equipment are dazzling, and they look like a ragtag mercenary unit from nowhere.
"Foreign aid." Rudasius simply said two words and didn't explain anything more.
"Very well, Olympia needs more combat forces." Quintus didn't ask much, on the one hand, he had an early understanding of the Spartan's speaking style, and on the other hand, he believed in the Spartan vision.
Not everyone is qualified to make the Spartans agree, these guys are strong in battle, their eyes are above the top, and they have refused to fight with the Cyris many times in history on the grounds that "the Cyris are too weak".
It was not until they were conquered by the more militarily powerful Solomonic people that these Spartans began to switch allegiance to the Empire, willing to be incorporated into the army along with other peoples.
"We are the last of the Spartan mercenaries." Ludasius said directly, "The level of martial law in the city has been raised again? ”
"There was another assassination the other day." Quintus said, "His Excellency Aristo, a councillor of the Mage Federation, has been assassinated, and the murderers were two Illanya black-clad assassins, and my boys died four or five before two assassins were cut down in a pool of blood. ”
"The mage is too weak." Rudasius said.
