After the first attack was over, the Persians' attack did not come very quickly, and even from their point of view, there was no great movement in the camp of the Persian army.

At the beginning, there were some changes in the troops, but those people did not come to Li Xiang and them, Ann looked in that direction and should have gone to find those deserters, whether it was the slave army or those Persian soldiers who escaped, they could not go back, although they were also members of Persia, but they knew that Xerxes's treatment of deserters was not kind.

Xerxes is still very good to his subordinates many times, but there is only one situation that he cannot tolerate, and that is betrayal, as Xerxes the Great, who has conquered so many places, the most intolerable thing is that his subordinates dare to betray him, which is a great insult to him.

Although these Persian soldiers and slave soldiers only left the battlefield temporarily, and did not plan to go back, they had no intention of betraying for the time being, but in Xerxes's opinion, this was already considered a betrayal, he could allow those soldiers to flee back, although he would punish them later, but he would never allow these guys to escape.

At this time, among the camps of Persia, among the most luxurious tents in the middle, the decorations inside were very luxurious, and the food on the tables was also very rich, and this kind of enjoyment should be regarded as the best in the world in this era when material resources were not very rich, if not counting the contractors.

And among these people, there are also some scantily dressed beauties, they look like they should be dancing for these people, they dance some strange dances, although it is not very beautiful, but these people's figures and looks are excellent, if it is usually a good beauty.

But at this time, no one on either side dared to look at the dancing girl in the middle, and no one even ate the food on the table, but each quietly prepared it in its own place, and it felt like a child waiting to be trained.

"Stand down, I can't look at this."

In the middle of the tent came a flat voice, but there was a hint of anger in the blandness.

The dancing girl in the middle quickly left as if she had been pardoned after hearing the words of the people above, leaving only a quiet group of people in the tent.

And the person in the middle is picking up a piece of meat on the table and putting it in his mouth, as if he doesn't care about the performance of these people below, at this time the guy in the middle is naturally Xerxes, the emperor of the Persian Empire, but looking at him doesn't look very happy, and these people below are his so-called ministers or the like, but it is more important to say that ministers or generals occupy more, after all, he needs to fight everywhere.

It's just that at this time, none of these generals and the like spoke, just sat quietly below, and even looked at their expressions with a trace of worry and fear, you must know that they failed twice, although those battles were not commanded by them, but maybe Xerxes would blame them in the end, and this situation of not saying anything is the most terrifying.

If it's Xue

If the Sith were so angry that they were going to kill someone, they would be happy to see it, and that would prove that they still had a role, and the worst would be that the commander would be killed, but in this case, every one of them would be in danger, because they didn't know whose wrath Xerxes would manifest itself.

When he finished eating, a person happened to come in from outside, and the person in the middle glanced at the person coming from outside and asked lightly, "Did you catch it?" ”

After hearing the voice of the man in the middle, the person who came immediately knelt down and said: "Those guys who want to escape have been caught by Your Majesty, except for the soldiers who died on the battlefield, many of the other soldiers are outside." ”

When he said these words, he was actually weak-hearted, because he didn't catch all the soldiers who fled, although most of them had been chased back, but he knew that it was not only these that left at that time, but after these people jumped down, although they wanted to chase them, they could ensure that they could be chased, but it would take a certain amount of time, and what they needed most at this time was time.

The time given to them by King Xerxes was within two hours, although it was very short, but he knew that Xerxes's words could not be changed, and he mobilized all the troops he could, but in the end he only captured the slave army of nearly 3,000 and the Persians of less than 1,000.

And catching these people is already the limit of this time, if he is given more time, he can even chase those people back, but such a little time can still be recovered These are already his limits, but these people should not be enough to satisfy Emperor Xerxes, so he also made other preparations.

"Let's go out and have a look."

Xerxes got up from his seat and said to the generals who knelt down to deliver the message.

The generals below were shocked after hearing Xerxes's words, but they quickly regained their calm, and then led the way in front of Xerxes to go to the deserters he chased, and the generals in the tent also stood up in unison after Xerxes stood up, and then followed behind Xerxes, although they didn't know what Xerxes wanted them to do, but at this time they followed was the most correct choice.

"Are these all the deserters you've caught?"

Xerxes looked at the team of less than four thousand people below, his brows furrowed slightly, although it was said that there was still some distance from the hot spring pass guarded by Sparta, but from here he could still clearly see the situation over there, you must know that there were not only so many people jumping from it at that time.

"No, there are still some people who even want to resist our team when they are on the way, so these people were killed by us on the way to hunt down, if you add these people, they will all arrive, the heads of those people are over there, please see the emperor."

The general who had sent the message pointed to a bunch of heads and said to Xerxes, this is the way he thought of it, it was impossible to hunt down the Persians or the slave army, unless he wanted to fail to complete the task within the mission time, but he thought of another way, which was to fill the numbers with the heads of the Greeks.

though

It is said that the Greeks have evacuated from the surrounding villages, but there are still some villages that have taken refuge in the Persian side and have not left, in their opinion, the battle between Greece and Persia should not affect them, but what they didn't expect was that their role was played so quickly, and they were used by this ruthless general to count the heads.

The heads of the bunch were almost all cut off from the surrounding Greeks, but the heads of these people had been specially treated, so there should be no problem if you didn't look closely, and there were the heads of real slave soldiers and Persian soldiers on the outermost part, so it should still be possible to mix them up.

"Well, well done."

Xerxes praised the people behind him without looking back, but listening to this salty tone, he was not very satisfied with the result, at least this was not the result he wanted to see, and he would not be happy even if these people were all captured, because these people actually wanted to escape, which he could not tolerate.

"Emperor, what do you do with these people?"

The previous general continued to ask, although the matter of chasing deserters is temporarily confused, but these escaped guys also need to be dealt with, after all, if they don't deal with it, maybe someone will follow suit in the future, so it will be troublesome.

"Kill them all." After speaking lightly to the generals behind him, Xerxes turned to the group standing in front of him, and after arresting these people, he had already gathered all the troops in the bar, the purpose was to let these people see what happened to these traitors.

"These people are not a Persian anymore, they have betrayed their faith, they have openly abandoned their comrades when they fought, they have also betrayed their emperor, I am angry, as a benevolent monarch, I did not expect this to happen, and you can't even deal with a Greek of a few thousand people, I am so disappointed in you."

Xerxes scanned all the teams with his eyes, although their voices were not very loud, but they seemed to reach everyone's ears, and the last sentence he turned his head and said to these generals beside him, these so-called generals are usually very arrogant, but at this time, they didn't speak one by one in the face of Xerxes's questioning.

"Kill."

Xerxes raised his hand and waved it gently, he didn't like that these deserters were still alive, this time he made the other soldiers think that they could run away, made him think that he could be a deserter, but he was going to tell them today that it was impossible, and there was only one way to live, and that was to kill his enemies.

After Xerxes's order was given, the surrounding Persian soldiers began to move, but this time it was not ordinary Persian soldiers who did it, they were wearing heavy armor, they were holding weapons that were very different from the Persian scimitars, and most importantly, these people were still emitting purple-black smoke.

The deserters tried to resist, but their resistance was of little avail, and as the strangely dressed Persian soldiers began to kill, slaves and Persian soldiers began to fall one by one, and in less than a minute half of them died.
