Volume 2 Blood and Yellow Sand Chapter 39 The Siege

Zhou Qi took Xia Ruobing's little hand and stood on a high ground with Fu Yunsheng and others. He watched the Persian army in the distance, which had temporarily halted its flight, and beside them, groups of Greek soldiers rushed to the front line in a neat line with war intent in their eyes.

From the chariot of fire came the news that the valiant Spartans, just yesterday afternoon, had crushed five times as many enemies in one fell swoop. More than 100,000 Persians who invaded from the north survived.

According to true historical accounts, Xerxes conquered the whole of northern Greece. Heading south, he defeated 300 Spartan warriors and 6,000 slaves led by Leonidas at Thermopylae. Taking advantage of the situation, he attacked and burned Athens.

In this mission, it was because of their intervention that the historical plot took a major turn. Xerxes did not take part in the Battle of Thermopylae, but instead launched a direct attack on Athens by sea.

The defeat at the city of Athens forced the ambitious emperor to flee here with the remnants of his army. The wheels of history are rolling...... Uh, well, to put it another way. Maybe that's how fate was intended. It's back to the beginning. It's just that in the strength of both sides, there has been a earth-shaking change

"It's time to put an end to this." Zhou Qi thought silently in his heart. The expression on his face was neither sad nor joyful. Today, let yourself light up the first node on the endless journey.

Hold the wounded Artemisia in her arms. Xerxes sat on his horse, his eyes calmly staring at the pass in front of him, which had appeared countless times in his dreams. A jungle of steel through the weapons of the soldiers. He saw Leonidas not far ahead.

He and the tens of thousands of soldiers behind him seemed to merge with this dangerous land. Dead stopped his own progress.

In the rear, the sound of the trumpets sounded by the Greeks as they charged, got closer and closer. He silently rolled over and dismounted, and handed the reins into Artemisia's hands.

"Live, Artemisia! Perhaps this is the last order I will issue to you. Perhaps, you can take it as a request. Xerxes spoke in a small voice, like a murmuring whisper.

Artemisia, on horseback, gazed affectionately at the god-like man. Yes, at this moment, she found that the man who had buried his head in her arms and wept bitterly after losing his father at that time had finally returned to her side.

Xerxes picked up the tomahawk beside him, turned and rushed to the front line. Just like the fateful duel, at the same moment, Leonidas discovered the mastermind behind the war and disaster that brought the whole of Greece at the first time. He threw his spear with all his might.

The spear dragged a shadow on the ground in the midday sun. The sharp spear head, with a time-piercing trajectory, flew to Xerxes's throat! The whole battlefield seemed to be quiet at this time.

Xerxes, who was running in great stride, stopped and stared at the spear that came at him. Just as the spear was about to plunge into his throat, he stretched out his hand! No one can describe the power and speed with which he shot! The spear that flew like a bullet in an instant. He easily grabbed it in his hands!

"Themistocles! Where are you! Xerxes held his battle axe aloft and threw the spear in his hand. He turned and shouted the name of his father's killer to the crowd of people behind him who was fighting fiercely. He was going to face two of the most famous heroes of Greek history at the same time!

"I'll go, it's really fierce!" Fu Yunsheng, who was killed at the hot spring pass, looked at Xerxes who was unstoppable in the crowd, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This is the style of the final boss, which is like you pay the old man, the instant noodles that have been soaked in warm water are not long (exhibition) neat"

“.…..”

Zhou Qiqiang held back a smile, pulled Xia Ruobing beside him, and quickly ran towards Themistocles, who was swinging his sword. The mission has reached the most critical moment, and there is no room for accidents.

In the center of the battlefield, Xerxes wields a golden double-edged axe, and in front of him is Leonidas, who is struggling to support.

Leonidas' vaunted martial arts were completely useless under Xerxes' incredible power. Just now, if it weren't for the old Estino and the oracle named Fels, who desperately helped him block a fierce slash, he might have died under the great axe. Old Estino even paid for it with an arm!

Leonidas struggled to his feet from the ground, roaring and swinging his sword at the formidable foe. Xerxes held his battle axe in both hands, and the broad fans on both sides of the blade were like a huge shield in front of him. As soon as he pressed his feet, the whole person was like a train moving at high speed, crashing head-on into Leonidas!

After the loud bang! The valiant king of Sparta fell to the ground, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth and bruises on his arms. The short sword in his hand had already flown away from a collision just now. The only thing to rely on now is a round shield that has long since been deformed. He didn't know if he would be able to stop Xerxes' next attack.

Look at the tomahawk raised high in front of you. Is the prophetic moment coming? His love for the land made him desperately struggle to get back on his feet again!

"Xerxes! You want me! ”。

"You're finally here, Mistoclery! I've been waiting for this day for a long time! And you guys! Messenger of Greek false gods! Today you will be judged by Xerxes! Xerxes turned and looked at Themistocles' eyes filled with hatred.

"We have been waiting for this day for a long time!" Zhou Qi raised his hand and replied to Leonidas. Firth took the opportunity to pull up the king of Sparta who had fallen to the ground.

More than thirty contractors, and two Greek heroes, in the center of the battlefield, formed a semicircle, surrounding Xerxes. The dark muzzles of the guns and the bright swords were pointed at him.

"Do you really think that this will stop the great Xerxes? No! Today, you are all going to die! ”

"Be careful!" Zhou Qi gently pulled Xia Ruobing's hand beside him. He was afraid that this woman would be impulsive and rush forward with a big knife.

As Xerxes's words fell, the muscles around him began to expand rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The body, which was already a lot taller than ordinary people, was raised again.

"Fire!" Zhou Qi decisively ordered. In the face of this fierce man who can easily slash Xia Ruobing with an axe, he can't be too careful. The dense gunfire was so loud that it even drowned out the shouts of soldiers on both sides of the battlefield. A rain of bullets washed over Xerxes' trembling body.

The gunfire continued for more than ten minutes. Many contractors have changed their magazines a few times. It wasn't until Xerxes' vaguely visible figure in the smoke of gunpowder slowly fell to the ground.

"Whew, are you finally done?" Old Chen let out a long sigh. No one believed that in the face of such dense firepower, a flesh and blood body could have a chance of survival.

However, the truth was beyond his expectations!

"That's the strength you rely on!?" Xerxes, who fell to the ground, put down his arm covering his eyes, and slowly stood up from the warheads that fell all over the ground around his body! This moment! What appeared in the eyes of everyone was a man who was more than 4 meters tall! A monster covered in shiny metallic muscles!

Except that Xerxes could barely be seen from his face, no one could associate him with the emperor with a resolute face and a poet's eyes. Overall, he looks more like a Hulk who has changed his complexion!

"Is this a second form?" Zhou Qi secretly spit out a groan.

This is a big problem!

Xerxes stretched out his stout arm and picked up the toy-like tomahawk on the ground. Stepping on the rumbling footsteps, in the slight tremor of the ground, rushed over!

"Take the two of them, flash mob!" Fu Yunsheng stretched out his hand and pointed at Themocles and Leonidas, who had become Spartan. In a panic, the contractors spontaneously divided into two teams, and ran into the crowd with two separate heads.

"Boss, be careful!" Liu Jianping flew and pounced, and hit Fu Yunsheng who was at the end!

The great axe sent a gust of wind over his head. He hurriedly rolled on the spot, turned over and stood up, and wanted to run back. That's it! He suddenly felt a tightness around his waist, and Xerxes's huge palm had already grabbed him!

"Jianping!" Fu Yunsheng, who was lying on the ground, kept stepping on the ground with his feet forward, and while his body moved back rapidly, the magic spear Dawn dragged out two bullet chains and shot at Xerxes from the side.

"You're afraid of getting hurt too! You will also fear death! Xerxes was not afraid of the bullets that came from him, and threw Liu Jianping in his hand to the ground! Immediately afterwards, the big axe swung down, and Liu Jianping, who was not in human shape after falling, was cut into two sections!

"No!" Fu Yunsheng hissed and shouted! Silver Fox's team channel came with a hint of Liu Jianping's death.

"Now it's your turn!" Xerxes carries a blood-drenched battle axe, like a god who rules life and death on earth! strode towards Fu Yunsheng.

Critical moments! Two high-temperature firebombs roared down in front of Xerxes, blowing up a cloud of dust. Zhou Qi grabbed Fu Yunsheng, who was struggling to rush up, and dragged him back.

Xerxes followed closely behind the two, and the battle axe in his hand swept the soldiers along the way, regardless of whether they were enemies or enemies, and swatted flies on both sides. The tall body is running fast!

The Contractors ran through the crowd and kept firing at him! Except for the sparks splashed by the bullets on him, there was nothing to stop him from moving forward!

Zhou Qi dragged Fu Yunsheng along, but in his mind, he suddenly remembered what the high priest Mustaso recorded in his witchcraft notes, Mozac. The kind of sorcery that makes people invulnerable and has infinite power!

If it's really Mozac! According to the description in the book, Xerxes could not have been in such a state for long. As long as you can delay for a while. Once the state is gone, there is hope to kill him!
