It was an army of nearly a thousand people, different from the Persian servant army that had fought before, just by standing for that point, the aura of killing quickly spread out from their bodies, and this momentum was not only emanating from people at the officer level, even ordinary soldiers had a formidable illusion.

It can even be said that this army is several times more elite than the black armor army that Yun Qi and they have encountered.

A real tiger wolf!

After seeing this army, all the mercenaries made combat equipment, and all kinds of weapons were put into combat readiness.

The other party also discovered the mercenaries, and the leader immediately gave an order, and those soldiers wearing bronze armor formed a defensive line on the spot in the fastest time, and raised their thick and heavy brass round shields one by one, and held them in front of them, and the fine iron spears were raised in unison.

This is a typical phalanx of spears!

Seeing that the battle was about to begin, Yun Qi waved his hand to stop a mercenary from casting a spell!

"Wait, they don't look like Persians."

Yun Qi's words immediately attracted everyone's attention.

It was a group of elite soldiers wearing brass helmets and wearing refined heavy armor all over their bodies, and from the exposed parts of their armor, their knotted muscles could be seen, and their bronzed skin glowed with a healthy halo in the setting sun.

Carefully observing the other party's equipment, the reincarnation people all had the same thought in their hearts: Could it be that the hoplite in front of them was the legendary Spartan 300 warriors?

Sure enough, in the opposing camp, a middle-aged man over 40 years old walked out.

Different from the brass heavy armor of other soldiers, this middle-aged man was wearing a bright gold heavy armor, and with his gestures, he naturally exuded an aura that was not angry but mighty.

He was tall, slightly taller than Ivan, with a slightly graying hair, but he maintained a figure that was the envy of all bodybuilders, and his thick beard added a bit of majesty to his resolute face.

"Tell me, who are you!" The middle-aged man's falcon-like eyes quickly swept over the mercenaries one by one, and his sharp gaze made even the experienced reincarnation feel a little dazzling.

A group of mercenaries looked at each other, after they entered this world, the main god did not arrange any legitimate nation or kingdom for them, and when asked at this moment, they didn't know how to answer for a while.

Yun Qi said in a hurry: "We are mercenaries invited by General Dasos, from the second son group. ”

The so-called second son group is a product of the ancient European aristocracy under the rule of primogeniture.

As the second generation of nobles without inheritance, the only way for them to achieve glory is to join the Second Son Alliance, as mercenaries, hired by the state and the lord's commission, participate in the competition between countries, and obtain wealth.

If you have enough wealth, you can get the right to buy land from the king or lord you serve, and of course, you can also choose to return to the family and continue to work for the family heir.

Hearing that the other party was Dassos's person, the middle-aged man lowered his raised thick arm.

The soldiers behind him immediately put away their spears and placed the heavy brass shield behind their backs.

Under the self-introduction, the identity of the middle-aged man is indeed Leonidas, the king of Sparta! And his 300 warriors.

It is also worth mentioning that the rebellious king of Sparta led not as many as 300 men, but 1,200 men.

As for the extra 900 men, they were Spartan lightly armed serf soldiers, or slave soldiers for short.

This is beyond the expectations of the reincarnators.

In the movie, there is no description of the 900 serf soldiers, of course, this is probably because of the details that Hollywood cut in order to highlight the Spartan warriors and save production costs.

You must know that the invincible Persian king Xerxes had a large army of servants, and Sparta, as one of the strongest city-states in Greece, naturally had several times the slaves of the Spartan nation.

The Great War is imminent, and slave soldiers are the best cannon fodder.

After listening to Yun Qi's explanation, King Leonidas tilted his head and carefully studied the seventeen people in front of him.

He directly pointed out his doubts: "Why are you, as mercenaries, here." I remember that the place where Dassaults agreed with me was at the hot springs Guanzhongmen, not here. ”

It is worthy of the king of Sparta, who integrates wisdom, commander and combat power, and sees the "problem" to the point.

Yun Qi smiled lightly, he already had a draft, so a half-fiction and half-truth story came out of his mouth.

"I see, you can't see the Persians slaughtering the outskirts of Sparta, retaliating against the Persian barracks, losing three people for the first time, and now this time they have repelled 500 Persian troops?"

The king of Sparta was still skeptical of this seemingly absurd story.

In fact, no one would easily believe that a mercenary squadron of only 17 people could defeat 500 Persian troops, and nearly half of these 500 Persian elites were still there.

It wasn't until Yun Qi took them to the scene of the incident and saw the corpses everywhere that Sparta was convinced of Yun Qi's words.

A few hours later, the mercenaries and the Spartan army arrived at Thermopylae.

The defenders spotted this menacing army a few miles away and immediately reported it to Dassos.

General Dassos, who was dressed in military uniform, greeted him in person, but the smile on his face suddenly changed after seeing the army brought by his old friend.

"Dassos, what a surprise to see you!" The king of Sparta greeted him.

"There are many surprising things today, Your Highness Leonidas." Daxos grimaced with a bitter face and said politely with a forced smile.

The others were not blind, and they could see at a glance the number of troops led by the king of Sparta, and their expressions were complicated: some were disappointed, some were angry, some were self-pity, and some were confused.

A soldier who looked like an adjutant of Dassaults interjected very rudely: "We have been deceived, how come there are only more than a thousand people!" This is truly surprising. ”

Dassos rebuked: "Shut up, this is not their army. We have heard that Sparta is preparing for battle, and we are eager to join forces with you. ”

Reprimanded at any time, Dassos clearly questioned in a more questioning tone.

The king of Sparta said arrogantly: "If you want a bloody battle, you are welcome to join." ”

Finally, Dassos couldn't hold back any longer: "But you only bring these few soldiers, how can you resist Xerxes's army." I think I misestimated you, and I thought I was at least as many as us. ”

"Isn't it?" King Leonidas pointed to the adjutant who had just interjected: "You." ”

The lieutenant faced the king's sharp gaze, and his body involuntarily straightened.

Leonidas asked, "What do you do?" ”

The lieutenant said, "I am a blacksmith, Your Highness." ”

Leonidas pointed to another person: "What about you?" Arcadians, what do you do? ”

The strong man stood up respectfully and replied, "I am a sculptor." ”

Then King Leonidas pointed to a few of the soldiers of the Greek Alliance, and the others were confused, not knowing what the famous king of Sparta meantly meant. (To be continued.) )
