Chapter 30: The Dogs of the Spartan War

When the order for slaughter is given, the dogs of war are immediately unleashed.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Hearing Aaron's appointment, Kurush's bright pale blue eyes were full of experience, calmness, and fire.

When he accepted the appointment very quietly, his youthful and vigorous face showed an expression of courage and confidence.

The palm of his hand gently patted the other party's shoulder, and a pair of blazing silver pupils were hidden deep under Aaron's thick eyebrows, which were full of trust and encouragement.

It's just at this moment.

A new set of stats appeared, forcing Aaron to look away from Kurush.

With the slight tremor of his eyelids, his two wide eyes swam slowly, and his handsome chin was slightly upturned.

"The appointment of the consuls of the Spartan vassal territories was successful. Through a successful conquest and efforts on the battlefield, a strong fighting instinct is once again stimulated. The King of Sparta has a potential of 12 stars, and the current effect is 2 stars. ”

No surprises, no disappointments.

Sometimes, the data is just a reference, and witnessing the Spartan King 2 star effect, Aaron didn't feel any difference from before.

And compared to Kratos and Kulush, there is only a 2-star effect, and Aaron really can't afford to spend time pondering this poor data.

"Great Canyon Ruler! Look--"

An arm crossed in front of him, and under the guidance of the Green Bear Warrior's voice, Aaron's eyes revealed an extremely spectacular cave.

The so-called official residence of the king of the bear clan, the cave sits east and faces west.

It sits on a mountainside, and from a distance, the entrance of the cave looks like a huge fish mouth, presenting a desolate and lonely scene.

"Most of the black, yellow, and red-haired barbarians live around the plains of the valley, but this cave is located on a high place."

Aaron couldn't help but think, "This should be the core of the tribe, but living in such a cave, the chieftain tribe is really a little barren." ”

Regardless of the shape of this cave, it takes a lot of effort to conquer a tribe after a bloody battle.

However, it was discovered that the chief of the tribe was a 'caveman', and he looked around the flat land and found no loot to loot.

For both the Spartan warriors and Aaron, this was probably a very disappointing thing.

But after a few minutes, follow the boulder steps and climb to the entrance of the cave.

Not only Aaron, but no one could have imagined that there would be another wide horizon in this cave.

In the field of vision of the Spartan warriors, the natural cave is surrounded by greenery, and the entrance of the cave is lined with several stone statues of the hairy bears.

……

Several tall ancient trees point to the vaulted roof of the cave dotted with stalactites. Bypassing a huge cistern, the cacophony of people and animals in the cave comes to you.

The open inverted figure-of-eight cave fully absorbs the natural light from outside the cave. Inside the low-hanging cave is a large wooden house that is lined up and scattered.

The Green Bear Barbarians live in a cave with the King of the Bear Clan as clans.

These large houses are connected and scattered according to the terrain.

As his eyes moved, there were strings of dried meat hanging from the eaves, as well as all kinds of bone and rattan daily necessities.

In addition, there are wild fruits, pickled meat, dried vegetables, grass stalks, fodder, bamboo, pottery or piles or sun, hanging or hanging, and there is a dazzling array of everything.

There are also animal pens and livestock breeding places similar to pigsty and chicken pens. All the buildings are built according to the hanging corners of the houses, or built on the rocks, or use natural stone caves, which are very crowded.

……

Greeting the new ruler of the canyon, a large number of old and weak women and children are simmering.

As he scavenged for the loot, Aaron's alert eyes moved nimbly, sweeping over the hoarded supplies and the faces of the green-haired bears.

It can be seen that the entire chieftain tribe is hoarded in this cave.

It is worthy of a large tribe with a population of tens of thousands, but the materials seen on the surface are much richer than Sparta.

"Spartans, it seems, our giving and receiving are equal."

Aaron's gaze turned to the Spartan warrior, smiling gently, and his handsome cheeks were slightly outlined, as if a harvest expression.

"My king, under your command and rule, the blood and sweat of the Spartans have never been shed in vain."

Along the stone path, in the long line, a bold response came from an unknown location. It made many Spartan warriors have an uplifting smile on their faces.

Pausing to think about an appropriate allocation of resources, Aaron rolled his gaze and ordered, "Kurush, take these green-bear barbarians and a hundred Spartan warriors, go and collect four thousand black-haired slaves, and then pack and sort two-thirds of the food and supplies in the cave. Wait until dawn tomorrow and bring them back to Sparta. ”

With this order, Aaron left behind a third of the supplies, an archon and a small half of the slaves.

The Bloodstained Grand Canyon is not only the border entrance and exit of the western plain of Sparta, but also the place where the annual migration of beasts must pass.

The Bear Chief Tribe is not prolific, but it has a sizable population.

It shows that the annual migration of the herd is enough for them to live a life without food and clothing.

Coupled with the two iron mines that Aaron had already confirmed, there was no reason for Sparta to give up such a strategically important and abundant subordinate territory.

……

Continue up a simple and wide artificial stone path. Walk past a row of wooden porches that are rudimentarily constructed.

At this time, standing in front of the throne of the king of the bear clan, the golden sunset sprinkled all over the walls of the cave, which was magnificent.

Walking up a few steps, the tentacles carried a hint of coolness, and under Aaron's touch, what appeared in his eyes was not a throne of bones as he imagined, but a round branch, hung with dark green leaves, and a bunch of white and yellow flowers, exuding a faint fragrance.

It is like a large natural tent, shielded from the harsh light, from which you can see the setting level.

The dots of light that sifted through the leaves of the trees were scattered on a stake-like chair.

"This ...... It seems to be a very close to nature. ”

Aaron was sitting down, feeling that the place was very cool, especially close to the evening breeze, which had the power to stir people's hearts.

The horizon is pleasant, wide, far-reaching, heavy, and desolate!

"I just don't know why the Orbia created such a throne, and what kind of race he came from."

Just when Aaron was secretly curious about the Orbia's throne, the deep voice of the Spartan warrior caught his attention.

"My king, in addition to a warehouse full of weapons, these things have also been found here."

The Spartan Heavy Helmet opened several wooden chests filled with red and green gems.

These things, in Aaron's eyes, are just one more capital that can be used for 'God-given trade'.

So, he couldn't think of beautiful words to describe the magnificence and nobility of rubies.

However, there is still a sentence in his mind, "Wisdom is worth more than rubies".

Being able to compare with wisdom shows that the value of rubies is still cherished. Even in the eyes of savage tribes, it is a very valuable asset.

Actually, compared to gorgeous gemstones.

What intrigued Aaron even more was that he had discovered a fierce war dog in the tribe of the bear people.

The war dogs used by the bear tribe for fighting and entertainment are about 1 meter tall and weigh about 60-70 kilograms, which is a large dog that Aaron has never seen.

Touching it with his hands, the war dog's fur is smooth, his body is short, fat, strong and heavy, his head is large and his jaw is wide, and his whole body is pitch black without any variegation.

……

"When the call for slaughter is given, the dogs of war are immediately released."

According to Aaron's observations, when these war dogs are ready to attack, their large, flabby jaws will show their hard teeth and start growling.

The threatening sound they make when they suppress their anger is far different from that of other dogs, and finally when they bark wildly, they can shake all directions.

In the horizon, a female wardog lovingly licks and kisses their cubs with her tongue, or grabs them with her paws and tosses them around, and gently bites them with her teeth.

In general, although these dogs have a primitive and fierce appearance, they are loyal and determined, and have the special surname of being brave and ferocious to their enemies.

Measured by Aaron himself, the scapular muscles of the war dog are very well developed, very heavy, widely distributed, and inclined outward, giving the impression of stability and very strong.

Ancient Greek city-states all have records of using war dogs on battle.

Seeing that the bears raised a considerable number of war dogs, Aaron's squinted eyes sparkled, and he seemed to see a Spartan army of war dogs.
