Chapter 142: Surrender

The Persian army spread all over the mountains and blocked the only exit from the hot springs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Standing at the forefront of the army is the black and oppressive immortal army, each wearing metal masks, and the battle intent is burning in the eye holes.

And behind the Immortal Legion, a golden chariot was carried by a hundred wrestlers, and on it sat the god-king Xerxes with his thighs cocked and sitting upright.

He didn't say a word, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't know if he was excited or angry at the moment.

Around the golden driver, there were the military generals of Wenchen, who stood sideways, not daring to make any sound.

If you look closely, you will find that whether it is a gorgeously dressed Wenchen or a military general with silver armor, their bodies are trembling slightly, but the amplitude is different.

Therefore, just now, the Wenchen who rebuked others for being beaten and feared by the Spartans was killed by Xerxes.

Then, the army all poured towards the hot spring pass, blocking all possible ways out.

Wherever there was a foothold, there stood the shadow of a Persian soldier.

Not to mention the Spartans, even the birds did not want to escape under the army of sharpshooters everywhere.

In front of the innumerable Persian army, there was only one lone army.

The Spartan warriors blocked the only exit from Thermopyla, and they formed a shield formation to completely block the exit, as if they were vowing to win the battle.

In front of the shield array, a burly and powerful middle-aged man was standing.

He was fully armed, and although the heavy armor on his body was worn, it still had a strong murderous aura.

He is the king of Sparta, Leonidas!

His eyes swept everything in front of him, at the murderous Immortal Legion, at the sharpshooters with bows and arrows bent all over the mountain wall, and at the indifferent gaze cast by Xerxes.

A richly dressed Persian officer stood in front of the large army, facing King Leonidas.

"Leonidas, you are really good. At the same time, congratulations on how you have turned disaster into victory. Even though you are intolerably arrogant. But His Majesty admired Sparta's bravery and superb tactics. You are qualified to be our strong friend. ”

Perhaps because of the lobbyists' lack of reasoning, a man with a clumsy figure squeezed out of the Persian army.

He was the traitor who led the way, Ephiati.

"Surrender, Leonidas. Use your reason, think of your subordinates, I beg you! ”

The lobbyist followed Ephiati's words and said, "Listen to your fellow Greeks, who can bear witness to the generosity of His Majesty the King of God, and in spite of your many insults and blasphemy, the Lord of Nations is ready to forgive you and repay you for your efforts." You will fight for your land, the land will still be yours, you will fight for Sparta, your country will be richer and stronger than ever, it will become stronger and stronger. You fight for the throne, and you will be made commander of the entire Greek army, one man and ten thousand. Leonidas, you will soon get a real victory. As long as you lay down your arms and bow down to His Majesty the Holy Xerxes. ”

Leonidas stood silently, his eyes fixed on the god-king not far away.

No one could have guessed what he was thinking at the moment.

At this time, Leonidas was thinking back to thirty years ago, when he was a child, on a cold winter night, facing the giant wolf of the ice field alone.

As at the time, it was not fear that gripped him, but a growing feeling.

The cool sea breeze kissed his neck and sweat on his body. Even though thousands of floating corpses are being eaten by countless seagulls in the sea, they still complain.

There were less than two hundred soldiers behind him, but they waited calmly, ready to die for him without hesitation.

Everyone has a heart of death.

It seemed that sensing the solemn atmosphere in the field, the immortal warriors' breathing became heavy one by one, and they didn't know if it was because the conditions offered by the god king were too lucrative and they were unhappy, or because they failed to kill the Spartans who had ruined the honor of the Immortal Legion with their own hands.

Yes, such lucrative conditions, only a fool would refuse.

Leonidas moved, and he took off his load-bearing helmet.

This action touched the lobbyist's heart, and he involuntarily turned his head to look at Xerxes.

At that moment, he saw His Majesty the Supreme God-King, and his body moved, as if he was also affected by Leonidas's movements.

Then, His Majesty the God King actually stood up.

The heavy shield in Leonidas's hand also fell to the ground, making a metallic vibrating sound that stirred Xerxes's heart in waves.

"Your gun!" Seeing Leonidas's behavior, the lobbyist reminded.

This was already the last weapon of the king of Sparta.

Leonidas did not immediately have the heart to call the lobbyist, and pointed his war spear at Ephiati in front of him.

At this time, Ephiati was still in a clumsy figure, but he was wearing the dress of a Persian commander, which looked ridiculous.

"Ephiati, I wish you a long and 100th birthday."

Leonidas's words seem to express his surrender.

No one noticed that Ephiati's face showed an unbearable look, and he could feel the anger of the King of Sparta at the moment, as well as ......

What little glory remained of Sparta made this naturally deformed man bow his head, close his eyes, and be ashamed of himself.

"Leonidas, put down your gun!" Again, the lobbyist reminded that his tone had become impatient.

Leonidas looked at Xerxes standing on the golden throne not far away, and finally let go of his hand, and the only weapon, the Spartan war spear, fell to the ground.

At that moment, Xerxes, the god-king, smiled rarely, the joy of conquering Sparta, the unbeatable and legendary fighting people.

Especially the moment he saw Leonidas fall to his knees, his smile had turned into an unbridled laugh.

The depression that was suppressed in the heart of this god king was completely vented at this moment.

"Spartans, I have conquered you at last! I will keep my promise to make you the sole commander of Greece, but before that, you will be my sharpest spearhead, exposing the stubborn Greek city-states one by one. In the end, I will destroy the entire Greek civilization, and you, Spartans, when Greece disappears, you will obediently accompany the lost civilization to hell and become your commander! Hahahaha......"

Xerxes swept away the previous unpleasantness, he saw that Greece was destroyed in the war, the men of Sparta were slaughtered, and the women and children of Sparta would forever be reduced to slaves of the Empire, and the lowest among slaves.

And Leonidas, who will survive, will watch his beloved wife and son suffer humiliation, but he cannot change it.

In this way, it is possible to counteract the previous rudeness of Leonidas towards him.

Just when the God King was silent in the "beautiful future" he was looking forward to, a silver light suddenly flashed in front of him. (To be continued.) )
