And the number of points obtained, you can find the Quartermaster of the Coalition Army and exchange them for the corresponding rewards.
In addition, Yun Qi also learned that in addition to fending off the attack of the Persian army, there are additional tasks that will be released to obtain points, but the timing of the release is timely.
Yun Qi was about to ask Sandru about the task, but saw that Sandru couldn't wait to wave the long whip in his hand at a pile of dead corpses.
This is, of course, a test of the power of the messenger's whip.
It's just that Sandru's actions were stopped by the captain of the Spartan royal guard: "The black sorcerer has cast a spell on the corpses of these Persian sentinels, and you can't touch these dead people at will." ”
"Spellcasting? Helots? Sandru was even more puzzled.
He knew what the captain was talking about? It was the nine hundred serf soldiers brought by the king of Sparta.
The vast majority of them were stationed in the secret passages of the Thermopylae Pass, in case the Persians discovered and attacked from the back of the Thermosen Pass.
Of course, these people are serf soldiers, but to put it bluntly, they are actually slaves.
However, there were also high-ranking figures among the slaves, such as the sorcerers in charge of rituals, many of whom wielded the mysterious dark arts.
But the problem is that the level of black magic that the Black Witch can master must not be too high.
If the dark arts were advanced enough to repel Xerxes' army of 300,000, wouldn't the poor Black Laus be enslaved by the Spartans?
"Is this your unique tradition of respecting the enemy?" ”
Captain of the Royal Guard, Eli: "No, friend, Sparta respects warriors, but will never treat sneaky spies like warriors. ”
"If these corpses are used by us, it will at least relieve a little bit of pressure." Sandru is still fighting.
"No, my friend, these corpses are a gift from the great Greek Commonwealth to that son of a son of a 纸 Xerxes. Until he or his slave soldiers arrived, it was better not to move. ”
The upright and rough captain of the royal guard insisted on not letting Sandru move the corpses that were interspersed on the sharp stakes, and Sandru had no choice.
However, looking at the situation, it seems to have another meaning.
At that time, the black Witch in Eli's mouth finished casting spells on the corpses one by one, and the wizards who were only a dozen people were so tired that they were sweating, as if they had just experienced a fierce battle.
Sandru seemed to feel something about these people's actions.
Yun Qi, on the other hand, clearly felt the distinctive aura emanating from the corpse.
There's something tiresome in the stench of the corpse.
But no one is looking into this now, because the big war is coming.
At this time, it was necessary for the Spartan warriors to cheer up everyone.
This is already a Greek tradition: whenever a city-state is threatened by a powerful foreign threat, the scattered Greek cities abandon their old grievances and come together. And at this time, it was often the most powerful Athenians and Spartans who became the backbone of other friendly nations.
Now, the Athenians are fighting with the Persian naval commander Artemisia in the Aegean Sea, and they are flawless in their spare parts of Thermopylae.
The Spartans naturally became the backbone of everyone.
This time, however, Leonidas, the king of Sparta, did not raise his morale, as he had done on the expedition, but ordered a clay pot of fine workmanship to be brought.
Don't look at the rough manufacture of clay pots, you must know that this is BC, porcelain has not yet reached the West, glass products have not yet been invented, and the utensils used by the nobles to put wine are only silver wine cups.
In those days, there was only one thing that qualified to be served in earthen kiln pots: wine!
At that time, wine had been carried forward in Persia, but it was not yet popularized in the relatively backward West, and neither the raw materials used for winemaking nor the winemaking technology could satisfy the appetite of the Western aristocracy, so a lot of financial resources had to be consumed, and the Persian merchants used camels to transport the grape wine from the desert thousands of miles away.
In front of everyone, wine is a luxury that only nobles can afford.
Ignoring everyone's puzzled gazes, Leonidas ordered his 300 royal guards to fill the wooden wine glasses in their hands with wine as bright red as blood, and then raised the same wooden wine glasses and shouted to the people of Dassos: "I need 100 warriors to fight with us on the front line of the pass." Whoever is willing to do so will drink this glass of wine. ”
The big war is approaching, and encouraging soldiers to drink alcohol is a taboo in the army.
If someone else dared to do this, he was pulled out by the commander on the spot and beheaded to set an example.
But when King Leonidas said so, naturally there was no fool who didn't open his eyes to give a military order.
While the others were still wondering if this was the king of Sparta who came to test the military discipline of the group, perhaps some of the people who volunteered to stand up and drink that tempting glass of wine were regarded as a model by the commander at the beginning, and they came to behead the public.
The vast majority of people have no interest in hedging on the front line of the array; A small number of brave enough people wait and see what happens, to see if this cup is a gallant wine or a killing wine.
Just as everyone hesitated, a slightly thin figure stood out from the army, took the wine that was already full of blood plasma, and drank it in a silent gulp.
King Leonidas nodded appreciatively to the warrior, this small detail seemed to make those warriors who "wait and see" boil, and they scrambled to stand out from the crowd one by one, take the wine glass, drink it all, and do it neatly.
It's just strange that the people who robbed the wine were all mercenaries brought by Dassault.
It wasn't until these men had drunk that the allied warriors of the other Greek city-states stepped forward and joined the drinking daredevils. (To be continued.) )
