A true Spartan warrior should not have any **, shame, or retreat

Freezing three feet, not a cold. Dripping stone wearing, not a one-time work.

If you want to develop a strong body, you need to go through a cyclical process and not rush it. The harsh military training of the Spartan youth team was by no means bearable for ordinary people.

After supporting for half a day, only because of his weak body, he could not bear the overload, and a punch from the Spartan heavy helmet on the training ground finally knocked Aaron down, making him powerless to fight back, and let him sleep in the dark, wantonly devouring him for a day and half a night.

"The wound healed. Temple of Mars morale 100. 100 points of combat morale for the Spartan Reserve and 500 points for the Spartan Heavy Helmet. ”

Seeing the return to normal data, Aaron stretched his arms back and forth, gathered strength, and clenched his fists to the point of 'crackling'.

After a day and a half of the night, in addition to feeling the full recovery of his body, he also found that the arm with two more muscles and the body with four more abdominal muscles seemed to make him several times stronger than before.

Aaron will not forget that the reason why he was able to recover quickly was probably due to the high price of passing the blood sacrifice.

As for the physical enhancement, Aaron would rather not have this 'benefit' through the blood sacrifice than the risk of losing a high-ranking divine servant.

From the mouth of the squire, it was learned that Nosica's body was fine. It is only because of anemia and weakness that long periods of recuperation and sleep are needed.

Aaron made his way to the temple's apse, and as he looked at Nosillo, his long eyelashes covering her face, hiding her heavy dark circles.

Her eyes were closed, as if she hadn't had a good rest in a long time. Nosica's sideburns hung down her face, adding a touch of cuteness to her serenity. The thin and weak figure under the quilt seems to be able to take her into the distance as soon as the wind blows, which makes people feel a kind of gloomy and sad illusion.

In fact, in the early hours of the night, Nosica woke up once. After talking, she told Aaron that she had no regrets about offering blood to the god of war, and that it was the duty of a servant of the gods to save the king. In addition to these, she also brought a foreshadowing of the god of war from the 'Blood Sacrifice'.

This foreshadowing has some mysterious connection with the shipwreck at the Dead Sea and the origin of Nosica and the five hundred Greeks.

Ares' Foreshadowing - "Store and collect a lot of wealth, and when the temple is upgraded, be fully prepared for the upcoming 'God-given Trade'!" ”

'Collect Wealth', 'Temple Upgrades', 'God-Given Trade', etc.

All of them were heralding to Aaron that this would be an opportunity for Sparta to continue to grow and develop.

Next, from the slightly upturned corners of his mouth, a little clenched teeth, and a hint of solemnity between his eyebrows, almost all of them are accurately displayed.

Aaron is going to take this seriously, seriously. He picked up a piece of wood, judging by the graphics engraved on it.

Three damaged galleys, and another commercial sailing ship that was later discovered, with their shapes and flags, all displayed a symbolβ€”β€”β€”β€”Athens, Greece!

In particular, the hulls of commercial sailboats are 30 meters long and more than 9 meters wide. A mast is set in the middle, on which hangs the Greek flag of an owl and a sphinx, both representing a β€”β€”β€”β€”powerful Athenian city-state.

(The Sphinx, a winged monster with the head of a sphinx in Greek mythology.) )

Aaron is not very new to such flags. Just as 'Ξ›' stands for the city-state of Sparta, it is the eleventh Greek letter which means freedom and readability.

"In the tradition of the Spartans, since a promise has been made, it must be obeyed."

In the afternoon, Aaron returned to the training ground, and like the others, he wore only a tunic and no other clothing, including shoes.

Stepping on the hot, sand that had absorbed the high heat of the sun's rays, Aaron ignored the discomfort of the soles of his feet. On today's training ground, he will be on an equal footing with every Spartan youth.

In the horizon, the Spartan heavy helmet, who was more than fifty years old, his voice was sonorous and powerful, "Young Spartans, no matter what the training is today, are depressed, cowardly, afraid, and crying...... None of these expressions should appear on your face. ”

A little older, but more sharp, the strength of his roar, and the momentum he cultivated from the battlefield, were enough to intimidate every restless Spartan youth.

"Because this land is called Sparta, and you were born strong, brave Spartans!"

From his words, and from those two contemptuous glances, it was shown at this moment that he would treat all the Spartan youths equally.

At this moment, two Spartan heavy helmets with full beards and in the prime of life stood out from one side. "Before today's training, I must say that those tiny skeletons that have been discarded on the training ground, I believe you can all witness them."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Weak or deformed babies were rejected and abandoned by Sparta from birth. No reason, these children must die, and their corpses will be seen by every Spartan. ”

Aaron obeyed the orders of the prime Spartan Heavy Helmet and witnessed the small bones scattered on the training ground. In the meantime, when he saw a newly discarded newborn baby, he subconsciously shook his eyebrows, and stopped talking.

However, from the eyes of the two Spartan heavy helmets, there was a cold black light, which met the eyes of Aaron and every Spartan youth, and then issued an encouragement and warning that was enough to shock the soul. "Remember! Those who are weak and forsaken will be cursed and will not be able to live forever. Raising the weak ,β€”β€”β€”β€” would bring shame on the whole of Sparta! ”

"Raising the weak ,β€”β€” would bring shame on the whole of Sparta!" There is no doubt that Aaron understood it only from the tiny bones that had been discarded in the field.

"Every Spartan, growing up, must be proud to always be aware that he has been chosen as an elite from birth."

"And once identified as weak, or if you don't work hard, you will be labeled as a 'coward' and abandoned by the whole of Sparta!"

Watching the newborn baby being discarded, the corners of Aaron's eyes were slightly unbearable. But he knew from the bottom of his heart that it would be the rules he had to follow.

He also finally realized why the surname and will of each Spartan heavy helmet were surprisingly consistent.

From today's scene, we can gradually find that the so-called Spartan training is not only to smash the surname of every Spartan youth, but also to push him to the extreme of stoicism, discipline, and indifference at all times.

In the time of the Spartan city-states, production was backward, wars were frequent, and most people were hungry.

Sparta used this method to transform itself into a tough, courageous people.

This shows their indifference and cruelty, but also indicates that there is a high price to be paid behind them, and countless bitter blood and tears.

"Spartan Youth Reserve, 230 points of combat morale."

Witnessing the sudden spike in morale, Aaron stood still, did not look sideways, did not exchange his head and ears, and in the light of the sun, he just calmed down and looked ahead more calmly.

Throughout the Spartan youth team, conversation will also be severely restricted, and since Aaron is the king of Sparta, he must accept everything Spartan from the bottom of his heart.

All other young Spartans will be subject to these strict and uniform disciplines.

So that the Spartan elders who were watching could study, compare, and record them.

The Spartan Elder, who has an 8-star loyalty rating and is in charge of the barracks and weapons, will use the perspective of an onlooker to better judge and record everyone's surname and courage.

Find out how these Spartan youths will behave when they finally make it to the battlefield.

And in these long records, all those who are not brave enough and unqualified will be eliminated, because the invincible Spartan phalanx will not allow the slightest mistake.

The rigors of Spartan training did not intimidate Aaron.

But what he didn't expect was that in the next training process, a group of Spartan girls would also participate.

"Everyone, strip naked at once." Hearing the order of the Spartan heavy helmet, Aaron's mouth inevitably had a wry smile on the corner.

When all the young Spartans, stripped naked and barefoot, came to the maidens, and let them praise or sneer.

This is only because, a real Spartan warrior should not have any **, shame, or retreat......
