Sparta!

The narrow but not dirty streets divide the thick stone bungalows into dozens of large and small areas, and combine them into a city without the shelter of the city walls.

Zhou Qi is among the ranks of the Silver Fox team, surrounded by the excited Daissos and Xia Ruobing, who can attract many eyeballs no matter where he is.

The closer you get to the heart of the city, the more ornate the overall style and exterior of the building becomes.

Pedestrians on the street are dressed in traditional ancient Greek costumes. Most of the women wore bast shoes with open toes, long skirts tied around their waists, and short linen shirts on their upper bodies, exposing their entire right shoulders and large areas of skin on their abdomen. Except for underage children and frail old people sitting against the wall, the men are all muscular hunks with only a pair of leather shorts around their lower bodies! Most had short swords stuck in their waists. Of course, the largest number of people are still a large number of slaves who are engaged in various jobs and are not clothed.

Zhou Qi and his entourage strolled through the streets. It looks more like a group of tourists from other places. Or rather, to be sightseeing. Their strange attire caused the Spartans passing by to stop and stare at them with curious eyes. At this moment, Zhou Qicai deeply realized that being watched by others was definitely a very unpleasant feeling. Of course, there are some alternatives, such as Xia Ruobing.

This girl did not feel the slightest discomfort, but talked and laughed with Xiaoxiao, and the crisp and pleasant laughter sounded quite hearty and pleasant. Plus that incomparably delicate looks, and perfect body. While appreciating it, it also makes people feel the vitality and beauty of life.

Soon after, after Dessos' briefing, they met the legendary king of Sparta, Leonidas. is different from the actor Gerald in the movie "Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta". Butler. Leonidas was unusually tall and burly. His eyes under his short black hair looked bright and full of wisdom, but in the midst of his anticipation, he looked like a tiger.

Beside him, a beautiful woman wearing a crown and a plump body full of ancient Greek style was obviously Queen Gogar. On the other side stood a middle-aged giant who was even taller than him, it was Elder Estino, the captain of the guard.

"Honorable messenger, welcome to the land of the Spartans!" Obviously, he had already known the identity of Zhou Qi and his party as "divine envoys" from the mouth of Daisos.

"Thank you to the gods of Olympus for their favor of his people, your arrival has stopped the Persian demons and given us precious time to prepare for battle." Leonidas led the Contractors into his palace. Hundreds of slaves had already prepared food and drink in the courtyard.

"Contractor No. 5106 Phase 2 Main Quest 1, meet with King Leonidas of Sparta to complete. The contractor was free to accept temporary assignments in Sparta. ”

Zhou Qi and Fu Yunsheng glanced at each other. Sure enough, the space left a lot of extra time for the contractor, and it was not for them to come for sightseeing and vacation!

At this time, the captain of the guard, Estino, came to Zhou Qi with a wine glass.

"I heard you killed Dasil?" Estino's tone was full of suspicion, and a pair of round tiger eyes stared firmly at Zhou Qi's eyes.

Zhou Qi shrugged noncommittally and nodded to him.

"Then draw your sword and let me see what you are capable of!" Drinking the wine in his hand in one gulp, he took the sword and shield handed by his son to the cheers of the Spartan warriors around him, and turned and walked into the open space in the middle of the courtyard.

"Why me again...... It's unlucky. Zhou Qi silently spit out in his heart. A stiff smile on his face. In full view of everyone, he had to take out his sword and shield and jump into the field.

Leonidas did not stop the impudent provocations of his men. It's just that when a weapon appeared out of thin air like magic in Zhou Qi's hand, in addition to a smile, there was a little more surprised expression on his face.

As soon as Zhou Qigang stood still, Estino tapped the round shield in his hand with the hilt of his sword. to show your respect for your opponents. However, that doesn't mean he's going to show mercy. Immediately after, I heard him scream, and the short sword in his hand was already slashing down with a gust of wind pressure.

Zhou Qi hurriedly flashed sideways, the shield in his left hand slapped out hard, and at the same time, the broadsword in his right hand stabbed fiercely, attacking his left rib. Estino's eyes lit up, and his mouth burst into an excited laugh. The heavy round shield swung vigorously horizontally, slamming into Zhou Qi's shield.

There was a muffled sound of "bang". An unstoppable force passed down the shield. Zhou Qi's left hand was unspeakably sore, and he hurriedly jumped back, and with the momentum of retreat, he barely blocked this powerful blow. His face was already full of solemnity. This seemingly understated blow actually gave him the feeling he had when he was swung by the sword-like giant sword when he fought with Hamel! You know, now his strength has reached 25 points with the support of equipment. It has long exceeded the beginning.

He jumped backwards with his feet on the ground, and his body had turned from backward to forward again. While the shield in his left hand was raised high to protect his head and face, the broadsword followed the squatting body and aimed at Estino's legs with a horizontal slash!

Estino was slightly taken aback, and his eyes swelled with fanatical intent. The tall body jumped up with the dexterity that did not match it, and he kicked it in the air and kicked on Zhou Qidun. This was followed by a powerful slash!

Zhou Qidi turned around, and the broadsword stabbed behind Estino, who had lost his center of gravity. This move is even eliminated, and it looks extremely smooth! Seeing that the blade of the sword is about to touch Estino! Caught off guard, Estino suddenly kicked backwards and kicked him right in the air, kicking him all the way around. The strong concussion made Zhou Qi feel that his throat was hot, and a mouthful of blood had gushed up.

He quickly gritted his teeth and forced himself to swallow the blood. And Estino didn't completely dodge the moment just now, and was cut a shallow wound in the back by the broadsword.

The two of them fought each other a few times, and the transition between offense and defense was extremely fast. Let all the Spartans and contractors around them be thrilled and excited.

But Zhou Qi knew that he was bitter in his heart at this time, and just now he quietly released the insight technique. Estino's strength is as high as 35 points, and his agility is also equal to his own to 15 points. Constitution 40 points. It's all the quality of a humanoid beast. With the back and forth between the two sides, after all, he suffered too much in strength, and he gradually became at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, at this moment, Leonidas called out to Estino loudly.

Zhou Qi nodded slightly to Leonidas, raised his hand and cast a reply word to Estine, and in the exclamations of the Spartans around him, he only saw that the wounds on his body were quickly healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and there were no scars left.

Leonidas looked at Zhou Qi with a happy face. In pure martial arts fighting, he can entangle with Estino for a long time and remain undefeated. This has been recognized by him. What's more, he had heard Dessos say that the real power of these "divine envoys" was divine magic. As for Zhou Qi, he didn't use any magic in the battle. As a Spartan, who was known for his bravery, he admired it even more.

After witnessing Zhou Qi's "magic technique" with his own eyes, this brave king already had a trace of respect in his eyes when he looked at him.

"Contractor number 5106, you have earned the respect of Leonidas and your friendship with the Spartans has increased. You will be able to hire Spartan warriors by spending blood points. There are currently 10 people that can be hired, and each Spartan warrior costs 2000 Blood Points. ”

The moment he received the prompt, his mind suddenly cleared. So that's it!

At the beginning of the beach defense, he had been surprised that the plot of D difficulty actually gave far more than expected bloody point gains. After that, the space was left enough for another 7 days to reach Sparta. Taken together, it is clear that the Contractors need to hire Spartan troops through the Bloody Points to assist Leonidas in defending Thermopylae!

That's the only answer that could exist!

The more people the Contractors survive in the first phase, the higher the benefits! The more Spartan warriors you can hire. With hundreds, if not thousands, of Spartan warriors joining, Leonidas led three hundred men to defend the Thermopylae Pass, which was almost certain to die, would undoubtedly have an extra chance of survival. And whether he survives or not is precisely the condition for the contractors not to be erased!

To put it simply, the space has designed a path to complete this scene, forcing everyone to follow this path. That is, in the early stage, you will work hard to make money, and in the later stage, you will spend money to buy your life!

When he was stunned, Estino came over laughing and slapped him the shoulder!

"In you, I see the qualities of a Spartan warrior! Honorable oracle. If you can bring me the head of a Persian warrior, you will earn my respect, and you will receive my gift! ”

"Contractor No. 5106 gains the favor of Estino and accepts a temporary mission, the head of the Persian Brave. Quest Complete Conditions: Track down and kill the Persian Courier and bring the head to Estinor. The time limit for completion is 3 days. Acceptable? ”

"Yes!" After Zhou Qi confirmed, he hurriedly came to Fu Yunsheng and told him what he had just thought.

"Yours is yours! If that's the case, then everything makes sense! I said, you really don't consider coming to the silver fox? He smiled and hugged Zhou Qi's shoulders and threw an olive branch again.

"Hey! I said pay old man! You little shovel, and give me this corner of the wall to loosen the soil!? Xia Ruobing pulled Zhou Qi behind her like a little hen protecting her cubs. His eyes stared at Fu Yunsheng like a fighting.

The result was naturally the defeat of the latter, which was full of black lines. After the contractors learned of the situation through Fu Yunsheng, they lost their appetite in the face of the sumptuous wine and food, and they scattered in all directions, surrounding the Spartans to find possible tasks.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Zhou Qi thought alone for a moment and left Sparta. Based on the information he received from Estino, he headed towards the plains north of Thermopylaseki.

However, not long after he left, Yang Siwei led the only two remaining snake tooth team members to follow him from a distance.
