Chapter 139: Bad News
At Hot Springs, it was already dawn, and it was the time when everyone was most sleepy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The sound of the iron hooves of a noisy war horse woke all those who were still asleep, and they sat up like arrows, their weapons in their hands.
These men all slept in armor and in their clothes.
It was the ten reincarnators, but they took off their armor and enjoyed the beauty of the last night in this world on the soft haystack.
At this time, the sentry in charge of the sentry did not issue a warning, indicating that it was not an enemy attack.
Coupled with the fact that the sound of iron hooves came from the south of the rear, but it was the opposite of the north where the Persian army was stationed, everyone should not be much panicked.
"What's going on? Dilius! Leonidas saw clearly who was coming, and it was actually the Spartan commander he had sent to guard the path south of Thermopylae with the 900 lightly armed serf soldiers, Dilius!
"Your Majesty......" Before Delius could turn over from his horse, the horse snorted twice, and stepped on the spot twice, and suddenly he went limp, and the horse fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
Seeing this scene, everyone felt a bad omen, especially the high-ranking commanders who knew about Leonidas's deployment, they all had some points in their hearts, and their faces were ugly.
"Your Majesty, it's not good."
"Don't get excited, Delius." Leonidas said with a serious expression.
Derius: "The hunchbacked traitor, who led Xerxes' 2,000 immortal legions, outflanked us from the Ancient Shepherd Road to our rear. The 900 serf soldiers stationed with me were able to break through all the defenses at once under the frantic onslaught of the Immortal Legion......"
If you look closely, Dilius is covered in blood, his heavy armor has long been tattered, and one eye has been blinded in the battle. The two arms were even more intertwined with sword marks, and the average soldier had already lost his hands when he was injured by this, and he didn't know how Delius had stopped the reins with both hands and galloped over the rocky mountain stream.
Come to think of it, if it weren't for the fact that his serf soldiers were routed and scattered and fled, I am afraid that he would have handed over the task of giving orders to a small soldier a long time ago, and he would have died on the battlefield.
"Dilus! What did you say! Dassos, the commander of the coalition forces on the side, turned purple as a pig's liver.
"......" Leonidas fell into deep thought.
"Leonidas! This battle is over. Dassos shouted at the king of Sparta.
At this moment, he completely ignored the surprised eyes of the soldiers around him.
The ordinary soldiers had no idea of the consequences of the occupation of the Shepherd Road.
"I'm done with it!" Leonidas yelled at Dassos.
"Before dawn, Xerxes' army, along with the Immortal Legions, will surround us all. The hot springs can't be stopped! Dassos ignored the Spartan king's rebuke.
At this moment, he doesn't care whether what he said just now shakes the morale of the army, anyway, he is hitting the front and back, and the breakthrough is imminent.
As a commander-in-chief, he was well aware of the importance of morale. But in the same way, once the current situation happens, it has little to do with morale.
King Leonidas no longer paid attention to Dassos, or rather, he no longer cared about Dassos's opinion, turned around and shouted to the rest of his men: "Spartans! Get ready for glory! ”
"Glory? Are you crazy? My old friend! Dassos looked at the king of Sparta with a pair of surprised eyes, he didn't know what to say, he looked sideways at the few remaining Spartan soldiers: "How can there be glory!" Only retreat, surrender, or die in battle! ”
"Arcadians," Leonidas said no longer by the name of his old friend, but instead of calling his old friend by name, "the choice is very simple, the Spartans will not retreat, they will not surrender." ”
Leonidas approached Dashos, face to face, and the two were no more than half a foot apart: "Go, spread my word, tell all the Greeks here the truth, and let them touch their conscience, and when you say this, you also touch your conscience." ”
Unable to look the Spartan king in the eye, Dassos simply turned around and walked a few steps before turning around and saying, "I'll take my people away." ”
When he came to his horse, he said, "I wish you victory, Leonidas." ”
At this time, the coats of arms of all the reincarnators finally sounded, and the mission of the final battle was finally released!

……
Sure enough, it was exactly the same information as the information provided by the intelligence.
And, the last battle
In this case, everyone took over this task as previously discussed.
"Boys, lean in." Leonidas looked at his Spartan warriors, who were less than 200, and sighed in his heart.
However, when he saw that none of the remaining mercenaries had left with Dassos, he had a relieved expression on his face.
"No retreat, no surrender. This is the law of Sparta. According to the law, we will resist and fight to the death. A new era has begun, an era of freedom! There were once three hundred Spartan warriors......"
Speaking of this, Leonidas glanced at Yun Qi and the other mercenaries again, and then said, "There are also ten mercenaries who don't know which city-state they came from, and they sacrificed their lives to defend their freedom. ”
Everyone was excited! Swinging his muscular arms and yelling, "Woo~Woo~"
The sound rang out louder than the other, resounding through the sky.
Seeing everyone's blood boiling, Leonidas was a little relieved.
He turned to the Spartan commander who had reported the bad news: "Dilius, let's go." (To be continued.) )
