Chapter 142: The Army of Three Thousand Queens of Sparta
Hearing Lake's words, the councilors and the three elders were very unwilling in their hearts, and let them spit out the gold coins that had already arrived, and no one was willing to exchange them.
But I think of the evil things that happened to myself and others.
The gods are real, and in the last year they have paid special attention to Sparta.
"In three days, in three days, contribute 60% of the gold coins in your family, and the gods will bless you.
Otherwise, hehe, what punishment will there be, and you know better than I do in your hearts those who disrespect God. Lake looked at the crowd with a wicked smile.
The council hall fell silent, and not a single councillor or elder spoke.
The generals of the military, when they heard Lake's words, felt that they could accept it, anyway, they didn't have many gold coins at home, and some didn't even have gold coins, so they contributed if they contributed, and they could also increase the strength and expenses of the military.
"The Spartan Legion of Three Thousand Warriors must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
Now that the gods have decreed, we, as God's people, cannot delay.
This matter was handed over to a few generals, who first selected 4,000 young people of appropriate age, and then selected 3,000 elites from these 4,000 young people through training.
Another thousand youths, temporarily placed under the responsibility of the military as reserves. Lake took the opportunity to continue announcing his plans.
Lake wanted to form a 30,000-strong army of Spartan warriors, but the population of Sparta was not large, and he couldn't afford to spend so much on the army.
If the 30,000 Spartan legions had been formed, there would not have been many people in the country who farmed and hunted.
In Ryke's case, it is estimated that in less than two years, before the million-strong army of the Persian king Xerxes came to attack, Sparta would be dragged down by its huge military spending.
Lake began to discuss the details of the conscription and expansion of the army with several generals in the council hall, and in the council hall, many councillors and three elders listened to the heartache, this year's military expenses, but they have to come out of the gold coins they offer to the gods.
But the Holy Council, their councillors and elders could not leave early, and they could only wait for Lake to get tired of talking and arrange everything properly, and they would not dare to leave until Lake, the king of Sparta, announced the end of today's council.
After the council ended, Lake took the lead out of the council hall and walked in the direction of his palace.
When Lake returned to the chamber representing the king of Sparta, he saw his little queen kneeling and praying in front of a statue of a male god of war.
"God, I hope you will bless my king, and if he is at fault, I hope you will forgive him for his fault!" The little queen said reverently.
Lake listened from the sidelines, looking embarrassed.
Lake thought about spending his days, whether it was better to replace the statue of the male god of war in his dormitory with a goddess, such as Athena, the female god of war.
Lake thought of Athena, the goddess of war, and looked at the figure of his beautiful wife, the little queen.
I didn't expect my first woman to be in the copy world, fortunately, Greece during this period was a period of male supremacy, this wife was not only beautiful and in good shape, but also very obedient to herself most of the time, the only thing that had a little disadvantage was that her combat strength seemed to be better than herself, and she was worthy of being born in a military family.
"My Queen, the God of War will bless us, rest assured. Have you been at the palace lately feeling like you don't have much to do? Lake said to the little queen.
When the queen heard Lake's voice, she realized that her king had returned, and she quickly got up and stopped praying.
"The matter of the Spartan army of three thousand warriors, judging by your expression, it has been done, my king?" The queen looked at Lake and said.
"That's right, but 3,000 warriors is far from enough, and in the face of possible crises in the future, I actually want all of Sparta to be soldiers.
But it's going to take it one step at a time, and it's only my second year on the throne.
I'll find you something to do, you lead the women, and set aside an hour a day to also train in martial arts.
For example, you have martial arts, and you can teach them. Anyway, you women spend most of your time being free. Lake said.
Hearing Lake's words, the little queen was completely petrified this time, and only after a few minutes was Lake stepped forward and woke up with his arm: "Women form an army, my king, aren't you crazy!" ”
"I'm not crazy, I grant you a quota of three thousand to form the army of three thousand queens of Sparta.
However, there is no military salary, and the equipment is estimated to be pitiful for the time being.
But rest assured, everything will be fine next year. Lake looked at his queen with a smile.
"The army of three thousand queens of Sparta, my king, do you want to marry more beautiful women? I can agree to your wife, but not so much! The little queen looked at Lake in disbelief and confusion.
"What are you thinking, I want you to form a women's legion, which is to have combat effectiveness.
Although you women are not as strong as the men of Sparta, you can make up for it in terms of fighting skills and speed.
For example, your fighting ability is not weaker than the average Spartan warrior in my opinion.
My queen, are you only willing to be married and taught at home, and do not want to fight for the defense of Sparta and for the honor of Sparta?
You are also a Spartan citizen, and you also have the blood of the Spartan god of war in your body!
You also have a chance to become the goddess of war of Sparta! Lake looked at his queen and continued to bewitch.
After all, nine years later, the million-strong army led by the Persian king Xerxes attacked Greece, and what Lake had to do now was to arm Sparta to the teeth and get as much combat power as possible before that.
When the time comes, let alone guarding the Hot Springs Pass for ten days to stop the Persian army, Lake's idea will not be limited to satisfying.
Lake wanted to directly repel the Persian army.
In this dungeon world, at the end of the final mission, rewards are awarded according to the number of Persian troops killed and the time spent blocking the Persian army.
Lake thought that if he could repel the Persian army, it would be an indefinite extension of the blocking time, and it was estimated that the heavens online would evaluate him for completing this task in excess of the sky.
At that time, it is likely that you will be rewarded with a Platinum Chest again.
In the platinum treasure chest of the last American Team 1 dungeon world, Lake opened the Hulk transformation skill, but he was very satisfied.
This Spartan 300 warriors as the main line of the battle plot world, if there is a platinum chest, the reward must also be related to the battle, if you are lucky, you can immediately increase your strength several times.
After all, in the real world where Lake is located, the battle situation on the melee battlefield there is already urgent.
Lake also sensed the crisis, and this time to enter the Spartan Three Hundred Warriors plot world, he still needs to get at least eight bottles of healing potions back!
Lake felt that he couldn't work hard if he didn't work hard, and he had to work hard for another nine years while enjoying the rights of the Spartan king.
