Chapter 372: This is Sparta
Kingdom of Crete!
Perhaps because of the caravan's sacrifice, the whole trip was smooth, and the fleet only took one day and one night to arrive here.
Conrad looked at Herkas who was following him in amazement, this kid was simply a self-acquaintance, he just talked to him for a few words, and the other party actually entangled him.
But fortunately, as a ranger, this kid knows the customs of various places well, and he can be a free tour guide for himself.
Compared with the semi-lithic life on the island of Kasos, the Kingdom of Crete, as one of the ten city-states of the Greek Union, finally evolved into an ancient feudal society.
At the very least, I can finally find a tailor shop to change into the right clothes for me.
It's just that after paying for the clothes of twelve silver coins, the Duke is depressed to find that his wallet has no money!
The money from the counter-killing has been all spent!
This is really the first time in decades that I have encountered a situation where I have no money.
I knew that I should have robbed the owner of the island when I was on Kasos Island yesterday, and I think the other party would definitely have some savings.
"I said cast, do you know how to get money fast?" Putting down the empty sac, Conrad asked Hercas.
Originally, going out to rob was definitely the fastest way to make money, but at present, Crete City is full of aspiring young people who rushed to participate in the hero's memorial after hearing the news, so the patrol efficiency of the city defense army has also increased several times, so he really has no chance to start.
After all, if you are a newcomer to a new place, it would not be good if you were wanted by the whole city.
"Big brother, aren't you here to participate in the hero's memorial, as long as you can win three games in a row, you can get a lot of bounty, if you can win the championship, you can be named a hero!" At this, Herkas smiled with a mysterious smile.
"By the way, it is said that the princess of the King of Crete is sixteen years old this year, and this time the champion should be able to take the princess away!"
Well, anyway, no matter where or what dynasty, this kind of Grand Prix champion marrying a princess seems to have become a fixed routine, and if you don't turn a princess, something will be wrong!
The whole tournament is a bit lacking, there are not many rules in the competition this year, a circle of about 200 square meters is drawn in the central square of Crete, as long as you think you are good, you can walk into that circle, and then win three games in a row to get the right to play, and by the way get a prize of three gold coins.
Three gold coins is definitely a huge amount of money for this year, after all, a hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin, and it is said that the price of a coquettish and beautiful slave girl is only one gold coin!
Under the leadership of Herkas, Conrad came directly to the central square, and there was already a sea of people outside the ring, and the shouts shook the sky.
He took a look and found that the people of this year are really much higher than the later generations in terms of physical fitness, and the two guys who are fighting in the ring now should belong to the strength of the second-level peak, if it is put in the future generations, it can definitely be regarded as a top soldier king or a fighting champion.
But in today's ring, these two guys can only be regarded as ordinary goods, belonging to the kind of soy sauce that specializes in brushing their faces and then being killed in seconds.
"Sparta! Sparta! ”
Just as Conrad was about to step forward to clean up the two guys on the stage to get some start-up funds for himself, he only heard that the melon-eating crowd who were still chatting with each other were all boiling and shouted in unison.
A big man who looked extremely strong walked directly into the ring, wearing only a leather panties and a large red cloak tied to his shoulders, and the rest of the body was completely exposed, revealing his body full of wounds.
After a cursory glance, Conrad saw no less than three penetrating wounds and more than a dozen slashes from the other party's body, and even if these injuries were distributed among four people, they were serious injuries that could definitely kill people, and the other party seemed to be affected at all.
"Oh my God! Why did the warriors of Sparta come here! Herkas complained with an ugly face.
He was going to compete and see if he had any hope of winning the championship!
Originally, Herkas thought that Conrad would be his worst enemy, but who would have thought that he would meet the Spartan warriors here!
Among the ten city-states of the Greek Alliance, Athens is the well-deserved boss, with the largest population and land, and even has the blessing of the goddess of wisdom.
Other major city-states also have their own characteristics, such as Crete, which is famous for shipbuilding, with thousands of warships, and is an absolute overlord of the sea.
But if you say you can fight!
Then whether it is the Greeks, Persians, or Romans, they must admit that Sparta is the strongest warrior in the whole world.
Seventy years ago, the Spartan king Leonidas led three hundred warriors to resist the 400,000 army of the Persian emperor Xerxes, and relied on the three hundred Spartans to block the 100,000 army for more than half a month, killing nearly 10,000 enemies.
It is also because of the blockade of Thermopylae for more than half a month that the Greek city-states have time to mobilize their troops, which made Xerxes finally have to retreat to Persia, it can be said that if it were not for the combat opportunities created by the Spartan warriors, the Greek alliance is estimated to be history!
After that, the Spartans kept improving, forming a Spartan warrior group of only three hundred people, and the Spartans who could enter the warrior group were the elite of the elite, and they could almost reach the strength of quasi-heroes if they picked one out.
"This guy's strength is good!" Seeing the Spartan warriors on stage, the two guys who were still fighting suddenly turned their blades and slashed at the Spartan.
As long as you can take out a Spartan warrior, even if the two join forces, it is enough to be proud and proud!
But!
Seeing the two guys who joined forces to cut at him, the Spartan did not panic in the slightest, but grinned, separated his hands, and did not use weapons, and directly waved his hands towards the big knife that was chopped over.
'Bang ......'
The clash between the palm and the big knife actually made a sound of gold and iron, and the two dragon sets were still surprised why this guy in front of them was so powerful, and they saw that Spartan bent his arms and circled the heads of the two of them directly under his armpits.
The two dragon sets hurriedly wanted to admit defeat and surrender, but Sparta didn't give them a chance to open their mouths at all, and their arms clamped hard.
Immediately, I heard two pops, and the two heads were directly crushed by him!
