Chapter 15 Do You Want to Hear the Truth or Falsehood?
"I don't know, you should know this question in your heart."
Li Xiang just glanced up at Leonidas and replied decisively, he was not interested in any hidden mission.
At this time, if it were an ordinary person, he might directly answer that he could believe it or prove that he could still prove it, but Li Xiang didn't want to do it, Leonidas left a very unreliable impression in Li Xiang's heart before, so at this time Li Xiang would not believe what Leonidas said.
Li Xiang didn't think that his IQ was high, so he naturally had to be cautious at this time, in case Leonida had any bad intentions, wouldn't he be cold?
Leonidas was silent, he didn't expect this guy to answer directly, you must know that those guys who came early before were not like this, they were very excited to prove that they could be trusted, and he also took this opportunity to do something he didn't dare to do before.
But why can't you get here when you get to Li Xiang? Could it be that this is some kind of bully?
"Okay, but are you sure you want to take this follower of yours with you to fight? He was still too weak at this time, maybe he could grow strong in a few years, but he was still too weak at this time. ”
Leonidas looked at Avalon behind Li Xiang, with appreciation in his eyes, he had already gotten the news from the soldier's mouth about the previous matter, it would be a pity that such an excellent young man died on the battlefield like this.
"He wants to restore his father's glory."
Hearing Li Xiang's words, Leonidas's face changed instantly, and the corners of his mouth moved slightly, looking like he wanted to say something, but in the end, he was silent for a while before saying to Li Xiang: "The Spartans did not allow the existence of deserters, he had violated the glory of his ancestors, and it was impossible for the Spartans to forgive him." ”
Leonidas suddenly became agitated, as if what Li wanted to say suddenly made him think of something, and suddenly became very irritable, and even the soldiers behind him looked worried, for fear that their king would do something irrational at this time.
In the Spartan tradition, running away was a shameful act, and in their view, a warrior was only the ultimate glory of a warrior if he died on the battlefield, as can be seen from Avalon's father still wanting to fight together, these Spartans were a bunch of dead brains.
However, it is precisely because of this tradition that they have a large amount of land and a strong army without great wisdom.
In this case, a deserter is naturally very conspicuous, and restoring the glory of Avalon's father seems very simple, it is a sentence from Leonidas, but if Leonidas does this, he will encounter a lot of trouble, such as being reprimanded by the people, or other Spartan soldiers will be forgiven for desertion, and then they will no longer be brave Spartan soldiers.
It will even lead to Leonidas being impeached by the people of the parliament, you must know that the king of Sparta does not have all the rights, the parliament even has the right to remove the king, the parliament at this time is the lord and faction, if he is deposed, this battle may not really be fought.
Li Xiang glanced indifferently at Leonida, who was a little angry, and then said, "Well, I know." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Xiang lowered his head and took out his Tang knife and wiped it gently, which obviously meant that Leonidas was going to stay where it was cool, and he was no longer welcome.
"Hey......"
Looking at Li Xiang's appearance, Leonidas glanced at the few people in the room, and finally sighed and left, taking the Spartan soldier with him by the way.
That soldier may have served Li Xiang and them, but Leonidas took him away in a fit of anger, and Li thought that if they wanted to find Leonidas for anything, they would need to go alone.
After Leonidas walked away, Gordon walked over to Li Xiang and said: "You are really awesome, you dare to talk to the king of Sparta like this, you must know that these Spartans are not good-tempered people, especially their kings, if they restrain their temper, their national strength may be stronger, and many countries are still willing to form alliances with them." ”
Gordon looked at the direction of Leonidas's departure and shook his head, their king had also considered whether to form an alliance with Sparta before, but the messenger sent over was beaten and then released, this kind of behavior is naturally impossible to form an alliance again.
"If they had a good temper, they wouldn't have such a strong fighting power, I have one thing to tell you, Gordon."
Looking at Li Xiang with a solemn face, Gordon was a little flattered, Leonidas had not been treated at this level before, but after a while, he couldn't be happy, generally this situation is not a good thing, although he has no such experience, but there must be a demon when things go wrong.
"You say?"
Gordon said tentatively.
"I'm going to take you to do a big thing, I'm going to kill those Spartan sacrifices, and then blame the Persians, are you interested?"
Li Xiang smiled and looked at Gordon opposite him, this is Li Xiang's decision after thinking about it for a long time, it is naturally impossible for them to let Leonidas and three hundred Spartan soldiers go to Hot Springs Pass to stop the Persians, three hundred people to deal with hundreds of thousands is really too little, maybe with the terrain can resist more, but the final result must be failure.
And the biggest reason why Sparta refused to send troops here was because Leonida reached the temple and prayed after the God's notice that he could not go on the expedition, so in the end Leonidas would take three hundred Spartan warriors to the hot springs, but if those gods were killed, and it was killed by the Persians, it would be a good excuse.
At least this is the best way that Li Xiang can think of for the time being, if more than 300 Spartan soldiers go over, it may not have any effect, and if Sparta can send troops, the result may be different.
As for killing those gods, Li Xiang has no psychological pressure at all, from the original book, Li wants to know that these people don't seem to be good people, since that's the case, there is no burden to contact and kill them, and by the way, you can also solve the problem of their task. It's the best of both worlds.
However, it is difficult for Li Xiang to accomplish this alone, so he wants to let Gordon and himself
Let's try it out.
In fact, Li Xiang is not very worried about Gordon, but Li Xiang is not afraid that Gordon is an undercover agent or something, because if Gordon is an undercover agent, it can be killed, and it has been strengthened to this point, although Li Xiang is not a mission and has no worries at all, but it is very simple to kill a Gordon.
However, Li Xiang still didn't want to go to the last step, after all, Gordon also came to Sparta with him, if it weren't for Gordon, Li Xiang might not have been able to find the location of Sparta, and he was taken by Avalon's second cargo and didn't know where he went.
"Give me a reason."
Gordon was silent for a while before answering, he was obviously shocked by Li Xiang's bold idea, he didn't expect Li Xiang to be so bold, because the Spartans had bullied him before, and he was going to kill their gods and sacrifice?
After glancing at Li Xiang, Gordon determined that he was not this kind of person, if this kind of person had any grudges, he might report it on the spot, and he would never go to other people's gods to sacrifice for revenge, so he felt that Li wanted to go to Sparta's sacrifices should not be as simple as revenge.
"Those sacrifices will stop the war, and Leonidas will be going to ask their gods about the sacrifices tonight, and then they will get the answer that they can't go on the war."
Although Li Xiang did not know the exact time, he deduced from some information that it should be the time for Leonidas to consult their priests tonight, and it was obvious that it was impossible to go on the expedition.
Maybe this is their tradition, but Li Xiang didn't want this result to happen, if that really happened, wouldn't Li Xiang and them have to fight against hundreds of thousands of Persians with three hundred Spartan warriors?
Don't make trouble, Li Xiang is just a weak contractor, he is not a savior or anything, against hundreds of thousands of Persians or something, forget it, even if Li Xiang and these contractors can organize battles similar to decapitation tactics, the effect may not be very good at that time, you must know that this is an army of 500,000, not 5550,000, this is 500,000.
500,000 people protect one person Li Xiang It is basically impossible for them to enter, and Xerxes's combat effectiveness is not low, if his combat effectiveness is too low, how can he suppress so many soldiers? Xerxes achieved this step by relying on his own great strength and means.
And under Xerxes, there are not no powerful warriors, this is naturally impossible to be the kind of Leonidas in the plot, no one can fight against him alone, although Leonidas's strength is indeed very good, but if it is said that Xerxes is such a big empire that can match Leonidas, it is impossible.
So Li thought that they had to face not only hundreds of thousands of soldiers, but also tens of thousands of elites and many bosses, as well as Xerxes, whose final combat effectiveness was unknown, and after thinking about it, they still found that the victory rate of this thing was too low, and even basically none.
"How do you know that the priests will not agree to the battle with Persia? Although they may have thought that for some special reason they were not pure Persians, but they must have at least once been a Spartan warrior, and it was impossible for those Persians to conquer their lands? ”
Gordon still feels that what Li wants to say is not very reliable, although those sacrifices are different from ordinary Spartans, and may not even abide by the spirit of the Spartans, but they should at least be Spartans, and they must stand on the side of their own race in the face of foreign invasion.
"They may have defected, and this is the reason why they stopped Leonidas from going on the expedition, but I don't have any evidence, I just have a great deal of confidence in which sacrifices have defected, I just want to tell you, as for whether to go or not, the decision is still in your hands."
Li Xiang showed a faint smile, and he said that his hand had actually been pressed on his Tang knife.
"Ahem, I wonder if you're ready to kill you if I say no?"
Gordon naturally saw Li Xiang's hand pressed on the Tang knife, at this distance, if Li Xiang broke out, it was impossible for him to go out, as for the distance, it was even more impossible, as long as he also tried this way, he would definitely be attacked by Li Xiang, Maybe at the beginning he thought that he could escape from Li Xiang's hands, but after seeing Li Xiang kill Rice, he was suddenly unsure.
Gordon's strength is not considered top-notch, if you talk about combat effectiveness, he is at most about the same as a top Spartan warrior, his advantage is in his speed, as long as he exerts his speed, he Leonidas is not afraid, but at this distance and such a strong melee battle is not the rhythm of death?
"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"
Li Xiang moved the hand on the knife slightly, making it more convenient to launch an attack in a timely manner.
"Truth."
Gordon doesn't have the habit of listening to lies first and then listening to the truth, it's too torturous at this time, and it's better to solve this matter early.
"You guessed it, but things are not what you think, and you won't understand it anyway."
In fact, Li Xiang is not the kind of unreasonable person, if Gordon is honest, Li Xiang doesn't mind giving up this idea, but Li Xiang doesn't know what Gordon's character is, if Gordon is not a good person, wouldn't Li Xiang be embarrassed if he went to report Li Xiang in the past?
At that time, Li Xiang may have to face a bunch of Spartans and Leonidas to chase and kill, and it is even possible that those contractors will come to pursue him, this result is what Li Xiang does not want to see, so he can only pull Gordon into the water or find a good way.
And if Gordon hadn't joined, even if Gordon wouldn't report himself, wouldn't it be safe, and if Gordon suspected that he would kill him, would he have come to take revenge on Li Xiang? Li Xiang is not afraid of an enemy on the surface, but an enemy who is always thinking about sneaking up on him is not what he wants to see.
According to Li Xiang's understanding of Gordon, it is very likely that he will take revenge on himself or worry that he will cut the grass and eradicate the roots after leaving, and Gordon has been in this world for so many years, he must still have friends or something, and when the time comes, Li Xiang may not be an opponent, rather than let him come and kill himself, it is better to kill Gordon here, which is also a very good destination for him.
"Ahem, if this is the case, I joined, I would have long felt that something was wrong with the group of Shinto guys in Sparta, it turned out that they took refuge in Sparta, if we hadn't found out earlier, maybe Ha was really succeeded by them, although our approach is indeed not very fair, but we are thinking about the whole war, I believe our approach will be understood in the end."
Gordon suddenly said to Li Xiang with a righteous face, and that impassioned tone almost made Li Xiang think that they were just going to do something very honorable.
"Is it really good for us to do this?"
Avalon, who had been afraid to speak on the side, whispered, his eyes full of doubts.
There's an honest guy here, everyone come and bully him.
"No, we're just here for the final victory, and those people aren't good people."
After getting Gordon's affirmative answer, Li Xiangba put his hand down from above, but still put it in a position where he could attack at any time, turned his head to look at Avalon with a confused face, and said seriously.
Li Xiang is not making up lies to deceive Avalon, lies are easy to debunk, what Li wants to say is the truth, those guys are indeed not good people, even if they did not defect to the Persians, they must have something to do, and when the country was in danger of life and death, they actually said that the timing was not right so they did not resist?
It's as if the enemy has put the knife in front of you, and you still don't resist, and say that this is not a good opportunity to resist, is it time to fight when the enemy wants to cut off your head and trample on your corpse?
Li Xiang saw in the movie that those Persians killed all the people in a town and then hung their bodies on trees, after seeing the ruthlessness of the Persians, Li Xiang would only believe that the real Persians would only be more cruel, and in the face of such cruel Persians, they didn't resist, which is simply pedantic.
This would be fine in normal times, but at this time, it is naturally impossible for them to stop the final battle like this.
"That's right, we're just trying to defeat the Persians in the end, those sacrifices have already taken refuge in the Persians, and even in their houses there may be a lot of gold coins from the Persians, and they may stop us from fighting the Persians and stopping the Persians from advancing, and the Spartans here are very much like those gods, if we don't do something, maybe Sparta will be broken by the Persians in the end."
Gordon looked at Avalon sitting next to him with a serious face, and described the consequences of this if they didn't do it in a very serious tone, not caring at all that he was the one who didn't want to do this just now.
In fact, Li Xiang didn't think about whether to cooperate with other contractors in this matter, but after meeting Les and Green, Li Xiang gave up this idea, the contractors are not indigenous here after all, maybe for the plot characters, their purpose is to win this battle, or money or something.
But this set is completely different on the contractor, each contractor is fighting for the same thing, some sinister contractors will even maliciously kill other contractors to get the treasure chest, but for the time being, there should be no need to worry about this, judging from the punishment from Rice, the punishment for maliciously attacking others should be very large, after all, the time will have to compensate .......???
Li Xiang suddenly thought of one thing, is it that the owner who has received the loss does not need to be compensated after he dies, or that the amount of compensation is much less? If it weren't for this, the battle between contractors in the mission world wouldn't be so fierce, and the legion seems to be very supportive of this approach.
Thinking of this, Li Xiang didn't want to find those contractors, basically there are few contractors who have survived to this stage and are still good people, and if they are willing to cooperate with a contractor who has not known him for a long time, Bacheng will have no purpose, even if Lucy's strength is very good, but if you want to deal with contractors, you still have no psychological bottom, especially a team of contractors.
The strength of a contractor is far beyond their original combat power, and they can even kill a much stronger BOSS than themselves if they cooperate well, Li Xiang doesn't want to be the boss who was killed, and Li Xiang's strength at this time is far less than a BOSS.
"Okay, so when are we going to act?"
Avalon had an eager expression on his face, it seemed that he was very interested in this operation, because their father had given Avalon almost all the knowledge about the Spartans, but he did not tell Avalon about the sacrifices, and some of the ways of these sacrifices seemed to his father to be rotten, but it was useless for him to see through them.
And as a father, it is naturally impossible to pass on this rotten idea to his son.
"No, you don't have to go, I'll go with Gordon, you stay here."
Li Xiang decisively rejected Avalon's request.
"Why, I can fight, and I'm not afraid of sacrifice."
"No why, you're too weak, too easy to die, I don't have time to take care of you."
Just kidding, Li Xiang hasn't brought a drag oil bottle to sneak attack the sacrifices that live on the mountain, Li Xiang is not sure that he will be able to defeat those damn sacrifices, you must know that their sacrifice as gods may be a bunch of waste in history, but in the mission world given by the legion, their strength should not be so weak, if they are unlucky, Li Xiang and they will not succeed this time.
"I....... All right. ”
Avalon seemed to want to say something, but after looking at the spear and shield in his hand, he agreed to Li Xiang's arrangement with some grievances.
Spartan warriors are not suitable for those things that break through alone, their individual combat effectiveness is not the strongest, when the Spartans are strong when their numbers are enough, the Spartans at that time are the most powerful existence, they are more suitable for the battlefield, and the kind of fighting alone is not suitable for these Spartan warriors.
"What when to do it?"
Gordon asked in a low voice, his voice was very soft, he suddenly felt a little panicked at this time, what if there were still Spartans outside who heard it?
Li Xiang replied calmly: "I don't know, let's go investigate when Oneida went to find those sacrifices first." ”
