Naturally, the mercenaries didn't take a fancy to this Ephiati, but they still remembered that in this main quest, there was no reward for this deformed person. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

[Side Mission 1: Kill the Spartan traitors and reward 10 kill points; 】

10 kill points, it doesn't seem like much, but for veterans who are familiar with the rules of the killing city, 10 points is equivalent to the reward for killing a reincarnation whose strength is slightly worse than his own.

You must know that in the killing city, even if your strength is stronger than the other party, it does not mean that you can easily take the other party's life, and in this hellish space, there are countless cases of the weak defeating the strong.

What's more, being "slightly weaker" in the eyes of the main god is not really that the other party is inferior to you.

The systematic evaluation of strength and weakness is just a conclusion drawn after simply combining attributes, skills, bloodlines, abilities, exercises and other abilities.

This mechanical rating usually does not really reflect a person's strength or weakness. It's like a fighter has a little upper hand in weight, punch power, and speed, just because you can win.

In the eyes of the mercenaries, killing an isolated, deformed creature is more affordable than fighting a reincarnation with a small gap.

However, Leonidas did not seem to be averse to this deformed compatriot.

Especially after he said that "war is not a game", Ephiati showed his king the skill he had cultivated over many years - a beautiful spear stabbing with all his master's strength, and the spear had a low trilling sound after stabbing out.

"Nice straight stab." The king of Sparta sat on a stone pier and nodded his head in praise.

"I'm going to kill a lot of Persians." Efiati said without losing any time.

"Raise your shield," Leonidas said, rising from the stone pier.

"Your Majesty?" Ephiati looked up in bewilderment and looked at the nine-foot-tall king.

"Try to raise your shield as high as possible."

Ephiati was ordered to raise her shield, but her deformed body made it difficult for ordinary people to raise their arms easily, and finally had to fail.

"Your father should tell you how we lined up. All of them form an impenetrable whole, which is the source of our strength, and each soldier must cover the man on his left, blocking his thighs to his neck with a shield, and if there is a single flaw, the formation will collapse. I'm sorry, my friend, but not everyone can be a soldier. ”

"But I, I'm going to fight, I'm going to restore my father's lost honor,"

"If you really want to help Sparta, clean up the fallen soldiers on the battlefield, take care of the wounded, and bring them water. I can't use you because of the war itself. ”

After being rejected, Ephiati looked up to the sky and screamed angrily: "Father, mother, you are all wrong!"

Enraged, Ephiati threw his father's relic, the shield, into the mountain stream, and then pointed at the back of the departing king of Sparta with his spear: "You are also wrong! You're wrong, too! Leonidas! ”

This time, he no longer addressed him as "my king."

Even when Leonidas refused to join his guards, Ephiati was appreciated by the king, and the mercenaries had to consider killing Ephiati to provoke the king's wrath.

Of course, a tenacious man like Hagrid insisted that taking out Ephiati was a priority.

Because with the development of the plot, this deformed man who was "underestimated" by the king finally chose to take refuge in Xerxes, and revealed the secret of the path of Hot Springs Pass to the Persian army, in exchange for being appointed by Xerxes as the commander of an army.

However, Yun Qi stopped him.

"If it's just in the original plot, killing this bastard who hasn't betrayed yet can indeed buy a critical time, but don't forget, the people who participated in this Battle of Hot Spring Pass still want us!"

Hagrid didn't understand, "Then we are not good at the foresight, and before he betrays, we will eradicate this trouble?" Hagrid stood by his opinion.

"No, my friend, I want to tell you that it is not only us who is the prophet, but also the reincarnators of the opposing camp, or the killers. Since the main god announced Ephiati's reward, naturally considering that we will have someone to kill this key person who affects the plot, according to the urine nature of the main god, it is impossible for us to drill such a big hole. ”

Seeing that Hagrid was still going to get lucky, Yun Qi paused and continued: "In addition, if you kill him now, it will only attract the disgust of the Spartans, and they even think that you are a spy sent by the Persians."

"I can prove that I am not a spy!" Hagrid retorted indignantly.

"I know, you're going to tell him you're willing to be at the forefront of the battle and then die as cannon fodder shortly after the tower defense starts to prove your innocence?"

Now it was Hagrid's turn to be speechless.

Rashly killing a person who was favored by the king of Sparta and not being killed on the spot by the hand blade is the only way to be cannon fodder.

Hagrid, though reckless, is not an idiot. He has not yet realized that he will put his own safety at risk for the life and death of the NPC.

In the eyes of others, the killing point is important, but it is by no means as important as one's own life.

No one wants to be used as cannon fodder and dispatched to the forefront of the customs because of small losses.

Leonidas cautiously put his head on Yun Qi's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "The rest will be left to you."

……

A few hours later, the sun was shining.

The temperature in the Euborean Strait at noon is almost like two seasons compared to other times.

The temperature is amplified again by the overlap of the scorching sun on the reflection of the calm sea surface.

The Persian navy, who had come from afar, were now lazily lying in the shade so that the hellish heat would pass quickly.

These Persian navies also had to suffer the double blow of not adapting to the soil and water, and they did not fall ill, and they were already in good health.

There are no ready-made ports in the Euboean Strait.

There used to be a humble port that supported the livelihoods of hundreds of people, but it was destroyed by the outbreak of the First Polish-Greek War.

By the time the Greeks won the First Grepro-Greek War, the Persian Empire was likely to make a comeback, considering that the Persian Empire had not yet been broken.

This foresight helped the Greeks so much that the Persian navy had to anchor hundreds of ships closer to the coast, whip the slaves, and laboriously carry boxes of baggage from the ship's hold to the shore by pure manpower.

This inefficient handling lasted for a morning, and only one sixth of the baggage had just been moved ashore.

The quartermaster anxiously danced the leather whip, and ruthlessly pulled out bloody whip marks on the back of the slave ****, but to no avail.

Unless, let the Persian elite soldiers take care of the work, don't try to move all the heavy grain and grass before Xerxes's main force arrives.

And there is only one result of incomplete handling, military law disposal!

However, the unruly Persian army could not be mobilized by a mere quartermaster, especially on this hot afternoon.

Just as the quartermaster was in a hurry, a slave carrying military rations walked on the plank between the ship and the shore, and without warning he stumbled, and the whole person fell from the plank half a foot narrow, and the whole person fell into the sea. (To be continued.) )
