Chapter 8: The Stirrups
The Persian envoy found that his patron was useless at this moment, and the mighty Persian Empire had not been able to succumb to the mad king in front of him, and he found himself in a very bad situation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He represented Persia on his own missions, and the kings had not surrendered and surrendered with respect; Or they were intimidated by themselves, and they shrank on the throne like quails and trembled.
But the king or the man in front of him, his eyes were so firm that there was not the slightest fear, and he could not find the slightest sign of surrender.
King Leonidas grinned and his expression was so casual and so crazy, his casual eyes of course refused to surrender, and the only thing revealed in his dark and deep eyes was endless war intent and madness!
So the Persian messenger was afraid, and now he is afraid of death.
No one is not afraid of death, maybe there are some exceptions to this one or a group of madmen in front of them, the Persian Empire is so powerful, they are all fearless? Are they not afraid of an army like a tidal wave?
The Persian messenger did not bother to think about this, because he was about to die.
He shuddered his legs and felt the foul wind blowing behind him, smelled the rotting and disgusting smell coming from the mouth of the sewer, and he thought that he would soon become one of the rotten things below!
Faced with the fate of his imminent death, the Persian envoy gritted his teeth and said tremblingly: "The two countries do not cut each other, and Persia and Greece have been no exception since ancient times!" ”
Seeing the Persian envoy trembling and uttering such words as "the two countries will not be cut off", King Leonidas did not think or wait, as if he had expected the Persian envoy to say this.
At the same time as the Persian envoy finished speaking, Leonidas also said in a cold voice: "You have come to my kingdom with the head and crown of the conquered king, and then you have humiliated my queen!" You threaten my subjects with slavery and death! Persian! I've really considered what I've said, and maybe you should have done the same in the first place! ”
When the Persian envoy heard this, knowing that he was doomed today, he gritted his teeth and exclaimed: "This is blasphemy, madness!" ”
When King Leonidas heard him say this, his cold eyes changed slightly, and he seemed to have a little more self-deprecation and a little more pride! He slowly lowered the sword that was resting on the neck of the Persian envoy.
The Persian envoy was already sweating profusely by this time, and as he watched Leonidas withdraw his sword, his heart was relieved that he had finally calmed down the mad king.
Leonidas' anger subsided, and he turned his head to look at his queen affectionately again, and the queen of Sparta saw that her husband was looking at her with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
She understood that her husband needed a support, she knew that the king needed an affirmation, so she nodded with a solemn and firm look in her eyes, as if deciding the rise and fall of a country, and as if deciding the future of a family.
The two did not need to speak at this moment, but the meaning they wanted to express was deeply rooted in each other's minds, and no matter what choice Leonidas made, the queen would always support him.
Even if it is the wrath of Xerxes, who is high up and has a heavy army, or the crushing of the Persian army.
She supported him; She, always with him.
That's enough!
Leonidas was overjoyed to see his wife's firm nod, and he smiled and nodded in return, and then he turned to face the Persian messenger, who had already been frightened.
His eyes were full of self-deprecation and pride again, and he said:
"Crazy?"
He paused, and suddenly roared like a lion and a thunderbolt from the sky:
"This. It is.. Sparta! ”
Sparta, who uttered this very "Spartan" sentence, affirmed that he had never given the Persian envoy a chance to speak again.
Leonidas, whose eyes breathed fire, approached the trembling Persian envoy, and with the roar like thunder just now, he flew up and slammed his foot into the Persian envoy's chest.
The ears of the Persian envoys were still filled with the words "This... It is... Sparta! The roar was so loud that he didn't even have time to react before he fell into the endless darkness of the well.
There was no trace of arrogance in his eyes, all that remained was the horror of his death, and the scream that pierced into the sky, echoing through the dark waterways until he could not be heard.
Almost at the same time, the well-trained Spartan guards mercilessly swung their weapons at the remaining Persians, and with a clean burst of swords and spears, they filled the well with blood-soaked corpses.
When arrogance meets madness, only the death of one side is the inevitable end.
Proud, powerful, crazy!
This is Sparta!
The Persian messenger asked King Leonidas for water and earth, and Leonidas brought him here and told him that there was a lot of water and earth underneath, and then he asked him to go down here and get it himself.
Seeing the frightened appearance of the Persians before they died, the heart of the king of Sparta ignited with greater ambition, the Persians are all bullying and afraid of the hard, if he surrendered before, it would be a loss of face to the ancestors of Sparta!
It's unusually simple and crude, and it's very crazy, yes, without a hint of hesitant madness, at least in Mosandi's opinion.
However, Ling Zifeng, who had been acting as a passer-by on the sidelines, didn't think there was anything wrong with it, not because he had seen the plot of the movie, but because he liked the king of Sparta in front of him, his subjects, and even his queen very much.
This kind of liking is just a kind of appreciation, perhaps because the world before Ling Zifeng crossed over was mixed with too many human feelings and sophistication, and too many complicated and disgusting interpersonal relationships, he admired the Spartan's straightforward style of doing things very much.
Although he has watched this movie of the reincarnation world once, the personal experience is another feeling, he feels that he seems to be in the blood for a while, Sparta is really Sparta, simple, rough, refreshing and direct.
It seems that the helplessness, the powerlessness, the powerlessness, the obedience, etc., in the real world, were all released at the moment when Leonidas shouted "This, this is Sparta".
He felt inexplicable excitement as if he were also a Spartan, and the comfort of the bloody manifestation of pleasure and revenge made him want to shout loudly and frantically with Leonidas.
But in the end, he still didn't shout, he didn't know where he came from, this inexplicable blood and excitement, but Mo Sandi next to him saw all this.
She didn't speak, she just looked at Ling Zifeng, and there was a strange look in her eyes.
King Leonidas on the opposite side saw that the Persian envoys "had gone in search of earth and water."
He turned to his general and commanded, "Damn the arrogant fellow, but the flames of war will soon burn here, so you go and prepare the army first, and I will go up to the holy mountain to ask the priests for permission to fight, and bless us." ”
With that, he turned and headed towards the mountains outside the city, and the crowd dispersed to go about their own business.
Mo Sandi looked at Leonidas, who was gradually leaving, and asked Ling Zifeng, "Do we want to follow?" ”
Ling Zifeng nodded, he knew that Leonidas' purpose of going to the Holy Mountain to pray for blessings, or to apply for Sparta to fight, would not go well.
But now it's hard to reveal anything to Mo Sandi so as not to cause her unnecessary nostalgia. The two tacitly did not speak again, and silently followed King Leonidas.
In a short time, the three people had left the city center and came to a secluded field.
Seeing that she was getting closer and closer to the Holy Mountain, Mo Sandi was once again amazed at Ling Zifeng's hidden magic, which actually made Leonidas, a warrior who seemed to be very capable of fighting, unaware of it.
Just when the two of them thought they could follow Leonidas all the way to the Holy Mountain, a strong wind struck the two of them behind for no reason.
The speed of the strong wind was already suffocating, but there was a penetrating chill in the strong wind, Ling Zifeng subconsciously reacted, his hidden magic was still seen through by the other party!
He wanted to react, but it was too late.
Mo Sandi shouted, "Be careful! ”
I saw a cold long sword suddenly flying in front of his eyes, as if he was going to pierce him in the next moment, he shouted in his heart, seeing that he didn't have time to react at all, and the cold sweat on his back flowed all over his body.
Suddenly, he only felt a pain in his waist, and the whole person flew away several feet away like a cloud, and the long sword that should have pierced the door in front of him also "poofed" deep into the ground behind the diagonal back and went straight to the handle.
Ling Zifeng was shocked into a cold sweat, he didn't react in a hurry at the moment of lightning just now, that is, he didn't draw his wand to resist, nor did he open the protective shield of the Philosopher's Stone, and he didn't even have time to dodge it.
Thanks to Mo Sandi's quick reaction beside him, he flew up and kicked Ling Zifeng's waist to help him avoid this catastrophe.
Ling Zifeng turned his head and saw Mo Sandi sitting on the side, obviously she had thrown herself to the ground with too much force just now, fortunately she didn't look bad, but her eyes were also full of horror.
The two of them turned back together, looking at the long sword behind them.
The sword was so fast, so fast that it made them shudder.
Ling Zifeng couldn't imagine how such a heavy metal long sword could come to him at such an astonishing speed.
"Could it be that King Oneidas in front of him threw it? It's horrible! How strong does he have to be? Ling Zifeng couldn't help but think of it in fear.
They were some distance away from Leonidas, otherwise they would not have been able to follow them.
It's incredible that a sword can whizz like a cannonball, how terrifying is that power? Not to mention the accuracy of the long sword directly at Ling Zi's wind face gate, these were beyond the scope of his cognition.
Shocked, the two hurriedly got up to check what was going on.
"Humph!"
Before they could stand still, a cold snort rang out behind them, deep and deep, it was Leonidas, the king of Sparta.
I saw a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he walked to the long sword inserted in the grass and held the hilt with his right hand, and I didn't see how hard he "brushed" with a soft sound, and the long sword came out in response.
Leonidas pulled out his long sword and slowly walked towards the two who had just stood firmly, he squinted at Mo Sandi and said with some surprise:
"I didn't expect that your little girl is not weak, what is the relationship between you and the assassin family when you dress as an assassin?"
Mo Sandi was stunned for a moment, then took out the waist card from his bosom and showed it to the guards when he entered the city, and threw it at Leonidas.
Ling Zifeng secretly realized that she must have known that King Leonidas seemed to have been in contact with the Assassin family for a long time, so she showed her identity without fear.
