"The gods you believe in have given you infinite power, and at the same time they have placed endless shackles on you." Zhou Qi looked back at the mountain behind him in dismay. In my heart, I silently recalled the prophet's parting words.

I saw the Prophet's delicate body, and his dreamy face dissipated with the light smoke. These words echoed in his ears like a gust of wind, with that hoarse and sweet voice. To him, it sounded like a thunderbolt, piercing the fog in his mind!

She! What does it seem to be felt? Zhou Qi felt an inexplicable horror in his heart.

At the dawn of the sun, Athens awoke from its sleep in the warm sunshine and the sea breeze blowing in the distance.

Xie Long stepped briskly and walked into the conference hall. In the physical intercourse of two gentle Persian slave girls, he counted with his own hands a bag full of gold coins bearing the head of Darius (Xerxes his father). It made his mood extremely happy.

Hum! If it weren't for those die-hard militants, he would have had more untold wealth. He will be the supreme ruler of the land. Especially the damned Leonidas! Every time he shouts the name of Gogar in his mouth and vents his beastly desires on the slave girl who moans in pain under his crotch, he thinks of this name that should be cursed by the gods!

"Leonidas! You're going to be completely doomed this time! Gogol, she's mine! ”

In the chamber, as usual, hundreds of councillors dressed in white linen were gathered in twos and threes, either talking happily or arguing over a damn topic. There's always some episode before getting into the subject, isn't it?

Compared with the past, Xie Long, who seemed to be in high spirits, strode to the center of the council hall. He opened his arms and bowed slightly.

"Good day! Distinguished parliamentarians, executors of the will of Greek citizens! Not long ago, perhaps you all received news that the Persians were attacking again! What I want to say today is, what choice do we make? It was to accept the offer of the Persians, to give only a limited amount of land and that worthless so-called glory. Let our people, and all of you here, meet the wrath of the millions of Persian armies with their blood! ”

At this point, he paused at the right time and looked around the people around him. I saw the expressions of surprise, anger, panic and fear on those faces. The corners of Xie Long's mouth smiled slightly.

"War! Greece has never been afraid of war! But, dear councillors, not even the gods want their people to go to a war to the death! We need to be wise and cautious about our actions, what we need is crouching and forbearance, and time, and the glory and disgrace of the moment will eventually dissipate in history. Now that I've said that, where do we go from here, distinguished parliamentarians? ”

"Get down! Coward! Coward! ”

"I think Sheron is right! 5,000,000 Persians, how can we resist! ”

"It's Olympic time for the Holy Spirit, obey the will of the gods, we can't start a war!"

……

Xie Long bowed down to a corner of the council hall, with a smile on his lips, and looked coldly at the chaotic and quarrelsome councillors. He was very pleased with his speech to-day, at least in a quick glance he had seen that more than half of them had a look of panic on their faces at the mention of the Persians. Of course, that handful of diehards, well, will soon be the same fate as the damned Leonidas!

At that moment, a city-state soldier hurried into the council chamber.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Oh no! The flame of Olympia was extinguished by the Persians! ”

Just now, it was like a vegetable market in the meeting hall, and suddenly it became quiet! Everyone, especially Xie Long's face, was shocked by the sudden news.

"What the hell is going on?" Sheron roared, striding over and grabbing the collar of the soldier's chest. Asked loudly.

"The Persians attacked Olympia last night, and they extinguished the flame!" The soldier replied in a dry tone, with difficulty.

"Nope! O great gods! Please send down the thunder and punish these damned demons. An old-looking lawmaker fell to his knees crying.

More parliamentarians knelt down with him, facing in the direction of Mount Olympus. Fearful faces began to pray.

"Nope! This is not true! Xie Long's heart was full of panic. The Persian envoys who met secretly last night did not say that they would go to extinguish the flame! How could the Persians possibly do this at this time?

"Wait! Honourable Members of Parliament, The Persian army was still far beyond the Thermopylae Pass, and it was impossible for them to approach Olympia. It is impossible to extinguish the flame! Xie Long stood up, a confident look on his face, and shouted loudly to the distracted members of the council.

Suddenly, a burst of applause rang out at the door with "pop, pop". A group of strangely dressed people, led by a man with black hair and thin eyes, entered the council hall.

"The Persians are indeed still outside the hot springs! But if only there was a traitor among the Greeks! Extinguishing the flame is not impossible! You're right, Councilor Sheron! Fu Yunsheng had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and looked at Xie Long with a smile on his face.

"You! Who are you! How dare you break in! Guardsman! Xie Long's pretended calm expression, unable to hide the panic in his heart.

"Don't panic, councillors! We are messengers of the gods! It was we at the beach of Hellesbon, together with General Dessos, who stopped the devil's footsteps! Fu Yunsheng raised his eyebrows, with a divine expression on his face.

"Sister Xia, the boss looks so handsome"

"Hmph, Old Man Fu pretends to be forced, very much like Zhou Qi's guy."

Fu Yunsheng, who was about to make a generous statement, turned around and glared at Xiao Xiao and Xia Ruobing.

"I'm Councilor Herthos, how do you prove yourself." The old councillor, who had been kneeling on the ground, walked over with the help of the others. looked at Fu Yunsheng in disbelief.

"Tiny!" Fu Yunsheng stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Roger." Xiao Xiao responded happily. She closed her eyes and began to chant the incantation in a low voice. In the incredulous expressions on the faces of the councillors, her petite and plump body slowly rose from the ground and stayed in mid-air, wrapped in a holy light around her.

As her eyes opened, a pillar of white light fell, and a phantom of the goddess, holding a statue of the goddess of victory in one hand and a spear in the other, appeared in the sky above the council hall.

"Crowd Blessing – Grace of the Goddess of Wisdom! Temporarily increases all allied units by 10 Intelligence and 10 Spirit. Duration: 30 minutes. Blessed units regenerate an additional 3 energy per second. This skill has a mana cost of 50. Cooldown time 48 hours. ”

"Athena!" After an uproar, all the parliamentarians fell to their knees! There was no longer the slightest doubt in their hearts about their self-proclaimed oracles. How can this be doubted? Summoning the miracle of Athena in the city of Athens! Who dares to doubt!

"No!" Xie Long, who was kneeling on the ground, retreated into the crowd with a panicked face. It was really Athena's miracle! Those damned Persians didn't talk about that!

How could Fu Yunsheng let him slip away, strode over, and stepped on his back.

"Councilor Sheron, huh? Don't be busy, we've found a lot of interesting things from your house! As his words fell, Lao Chen and another member of the Silver Fox team named Liu Jianping threw a large bag on the ground, as well as a Persian with a panicked face.

With a "bang", a large number of Persian gold coins scattered out of his pocket.

"Humph! Xie Long! You have fornicated with the Persians and tried to betray all of Greece! Even extinguish the flame of Olympia! What else do you have to quibble about until now! ”

"Nope! I didn't extinguish the flame! The Persians didn't say they were going to extinguish the flame! No! I didn't betray Greece! Xie Long, who was distraught, was surprised by Fu Yun's business expectations and did not admit himself.

"Traitor! Kill this traitor! ”

"Kill the Persian demons! Kill all the blasphemers! ”

Fu Yunsheng saw that his goal had been achieved, and he took the team members back at the right time.

In the council hall, the angry and frantic parliamentarians surrounded Xie Long, and in the sound of his wailing, their fists and feet fell. Soon, as the blood continued to flow from the feet of the crowd, Xie Long's wail became deeper and lower.

In a hall full of flesh and blood, the Greeks, enraged by the extinguishing of the flame, unanimously passed the resolution to wage war against the Persians! On the same day, a stream of orders came out of Athens.

The huge fleet set out from the shores of the Aegean Sea and faced the Persian navy from the sea front.

The armies that had begun to gather from the various city-states, under the leadership of the commander Mistoclery, gathered towards Thermopylae.

The contractors, who were originally demoralized because of the snatching of the Thorn Tigers, after receiving the news from the Silver Fox team, everyone spent the only remaining blood points to hire Spartan warriors. Let the 5,000 troops led by Leonidas have nearly 500 more elites.

If the direction of the original plot is followed, then what awaits everyone will definitely be a battle to the death in the hot spring pass. Although space doesn't have to kill everyone. However, judging by the strength of the Persians, only a few were destined to survive after the war. Not to mention the need to ensure that Leonidas could not die.

On the night of the meeting with Leonidas with the prophet, according to the plan discussed by the two in advance, Fu Yunsheng led the team to attack Olympia at night and extinguished the holy fire! Afterwards, he quickly rushed to Athens and stared at Xie Long! Sure enough, it went very smoothly to bribe the patriarch in the original plot, and when Leonidas went on the expedition, the traitor who raped Queen Gogger showed his original form.

As the screenwriter of the whole incident, at this moment, Zhou Qi was thinking solemnly about the hints from the bloody heraldry.

"Warning, Contractor 5106, there has been a major shift in the plot, and the main quest has been temporarily changed.

Main quest 1: Assist King Leonidas and defend Hot Springs. The time limit is 48 hours. Leonidas must survive. Mistoclery must survive. Mission Failure Obliteration!

Main quest 2: Stop Xerxes from destroying Athens, and the mission will be obliterated if the mission fails!

Main quest 3: Kill the High Priest Mustasso and kill the Persian Admiral Artemisia. Mission Failure Obliteration! ”

The three blood-red words of obliteration cast a shadow on the already bright prospect again!
