Battle of the Hot Springs Pass, early morning of the third day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

There was still a morning left before the Persian Janissaries took a path to encircle the Spartans, and there was still a full day left before the Spartan reinforcements arrived at Thermopylae.

These slight gaps announced the fate of the Spartan warriors before the Thermopylae Pass.

There was still a full day left before Ling Zifeng killed Xerxes, and this was also his fate.

One last chance, today!

Early in the morning, King Leonidas sent a warrior with a special skill in storytelling to return early to meet the Spartan reinforcements.

He wanted the warrior to tell the story of the place to the people who had come to his aid, so that all Greeks would know what had happened.

Finally, he instructed the warriors to tell the people a story of victory.

Indeed, the Spartans won.

Because judging from the form of the battlefield, they have successfully dragged the enemy here for two days and two nights.

Although in Ling Zifeng's opinion, the three days he spent seemed to be longer than the three years, or maybe the three days were shorter than the three minutes.

Whether it is three years or three minutes, the enemy can no longer break through the vast plains of Greece in the first place, and their terrifying numerical superiority can no longer pose a threat to Greece.

So, the Spartans were already victorious by this time.

Today, though, they've failed too.

Because of the loss of the rear, today they will inevitably be surrounded by the enemy.

Although Leonidas thought that they would inevitably die today, it was not too much of a threat to Ling Zifeng.

As long as he completes the task and kills Xerxes, he can teleport back to the main god space in an instant, and no matter how many enemies there are to him, it will be meaningless to him at that time.

But only if he can kill Xerxes, can he do that?

Ling Zifeng also kept interrogating himself in his heart.

The warrior, who was already about to leave, came back to the king and asked, "Your Majesty, is there anything else you want to explain?" ”

King Leonidas understood and said, "To the queen?" ”

The warrior nodded in acquiescence...

The king took an amulet made of snow wolf teeth from his neck and handed it to the warrior.

He thought for a moment and said, "Needless to say. ”

From the eyes of the king, Ling Zifeng saw a strong attachment, how could he really have nothing to say, he had a thousand words at this time but didn't know where to start.

Whether the relationship between the king and the queen is deep, Ling Zifeng has seen it all the way, needless to say.

Since there is no need to say much about their feelings, there is no need to say much about the so-called confession now.

Thinking that King and Queen Leonidas might never see each other again in the future, Ling Zifeng couldn't help but sigh melancholy.

He thought that a couple with deep feelings had been separated from each other since then, and somehow in his heart, a delicate figure of an assassin beauty silently emerged.

The warrior who is good at telling is gone, and he is going to tell a "story of victory"

The remaining Spartans remained, and they would become the protagonists of this story.

Of course, our real protagonist Ling Zifeng was also forcibly restrained by the main god and became a member here.

Or maybe he was unlucky, and he encountered a battlefield in the second reincarnation world.

With his current strength, it is indeed a bit reluctant to face such a battlefield-type reincarnation world mission.

However, having come to this point, it is impossible to retreat, not to mention that the Lord God did not intend to let him retreat in the first place.

"I'd rather die than win" was the battle cry of a certain tribal chieftain.

"If I don't achieve it, I will die" is a realistic portrayal of Ling Zifeng's sadness.

Leonidas stood in front of the crowd, he looked at the enemy on the other side, and said in a loud voice to the people behind him: "Brothers, enjoy your breakfast. Because tonight, we're going to Hell for dinner! ”

The Persians on the opposite side began the third day of the offensive.

Looking at the approaching enemy, the Spartans once again raised their heavy shields and clenched their long swords.

Like the same movements that had been repeated for days, they had neither fear nor trembling, and their hands holding their swords were as tough as steel.

They silently faced the enemy's charge, and Ling Zifeng also mixed in with the Spartan warriors, from time to time using magic to solve the enemies who were close to them.

Ten people, hundreds, thousands of people.

The Persians were like a raging tide crashing on the shore, wave after wave.

Like a thousand-year-old reef, the Spartans stood across the heavens and the earth to meet the stormy attacks of the enemy.

Today's Persians are as surging as wolves and tigers, a far cry from the cowardice and cowardice of the past few days.

They knew that the rear path had been outflanked, so they could rush and kill without fear of life and death today, just waiting for the moment when the Spartans were besieged.

The Spartan warriors were already exhausted after many days of exhausting battle, and the sudden bravery of the enemy made them even worse.

The first Spartan fell, the second also fell, and more and more Spartan warriors died at the hands of the enemy.

Ling Zifeng's mana was also getting less and less, so little that he could barely use the shield of the Philosopher's Stone.

However, for the sake of a predetermined plan, he always kept this mana that used the shield, waiting for the last chance to come.

As time passed, more and more Persians flocked to attack the Spartan warriors in front of Thermopylae.

There was no suspense, and before noon, the Persian Janissaries really came to the rear of the Hot Springs.

Together with the Persian army attacking head-on, they surrounded the last remaining Spartan warriors.

Although the mountains of corpses were piled up again in front of the Hot Springs, it proved that the Spartans were still strong in combat.

But so far in the battle, there are only a few dozen Spartan warriors left, which shows how tragic the battle was.

Under the front and back attacks, these dozens of people chose the most helpless and defensive turtle formation.

They covered themselves tightly with heavy shields, and their spears thrust outwards as a last struggle.

Of course, this struggle is not so easy to deal with.

The Persians can't cut through their swords, they can't shoot through their arrows, and if they are not careful, they will be killed by the spears that pierce out.

However, they could have bypassed it entirely, for the Spartans were now so few that they could no longer block the pass of Thermopylae, but they did not, because the arrogant Xerxes ordered the troops to stop.

The Spartans were very happy to see this, because his purpose was to delay time, and the reinforcements were not far behind, so they were not in a hurry, and they could delay it for a moment.

Ling Zifeng, who was hiding in the turtle formation, couldn't help but be anxious, he watched his comrades fall one by one, and the sad emotions in his heart were mixed with worries about the task, the last chance.

Now, this opportunity has finally arrived!

The Persian army, which was like a mountain and a sea, surrounded the king of Xerxes and came to the hot springs.

Leonidas held a shield in his left hand and a spear in his right, and he slowly walked out of the army in full dress.

The tassel on his helmet was swayed by the wind blowing in front of the hot springs, but the swaying tassel was still strong and powerful no matter what.

The hat is nailed to the top of the hat and does not loosen, just like the weeds nailed to the sand in the cold wind of the Gobi are stubborn and strong.

Just like the king's mood now, although facing death, he is not worried, and he is not afraid of death.

The reason why he left the team alone was not because he wanted to die, of course, but because he was preparing for the last kill, and he wanted to ensure that the blow was absolutely sudden.

It turned out that after discussing with everyone earlier, he had anticipated the picture in front of him.

Xerxes, who is arrogant and arrogant, will inevitably persuade them again, or give the greatest humiliation, after surrounding them.

Xerxes was such a proud man, and he came as expected.

A Persian general was the first to speak, and said to the king of Sparta, who had left the array: "Leonidas, you have done it, congratulations, you have indeed turned disaster into victory." ”

He took a few steps forward, glanced at Xerxes in the king's seat behind him, and continued: "Although you are so arrogant, it is unbearable. ”

"But the god-king Xerxes still admires you, and with Sparta's bravery and superb tactics, you are qualified to be our strong friend."

As soon as he finished speaking, a misshapen hunchbacked man came out of the crowd, none other than the Spartan descendant who had told Xerxes, Ephiati.

He had long since abandoned his red robes and wore the clothes of the Persian Janissaries, of course, this black garment did not make him look more powerful, only made him look more and more deformed.

He walked crookedly up to King Leonidas and said with a cold and arrogant expression, "Surrender, Leonidas." Use your reason and think of your subordinates! ”

The Persian general on the side also duly added: "Listen to the advice of your Spartan compatriots, who can testify to the generosity of the god-king Xerxes." ”

"Despite your many insults and blasphemy, the God-King Xerxes is ready to forgive you and repay you for your efforts."

Leonidas looked up at Xerxes sitting in the king's seat behind him, and secretly admired in his heart, although this guy was an idiot in military command, but he was unusually clever in political and diplomatic skills.

Faced with the mortal Spartans, Xerxes did not choose to slaughter.

Instead, he once again showed magnanimity, and once again persuaded the Spartans with words of warning and appreciation, and even made the hunchbacked man Ephia come forward to testify.

I have to say that this was a very wise decision.

Because needless killings only increase the enemy's determination to resist.

Xerxes clearly knew that the Spartan army that was hurrying behind Thermopylae was not far from here.

After these days of incredible battles with the Spartan warriors, his assessment of the enemy's combat effectiveness was as pertinent as what the Persian general had said earlier.

If he were to get out of the customs and face tens of thousands of such terrible warriors, he put a big question mark in his heart about the combat effectiveness of his troops.

If things do come to this, it seems that the conquest of Greece will be extremely difficult.

Therefore, he wisely chose to persuade him to surrender.

Seeing that Leonidas did not answer, the Persian general continued: "The god king Xerxes appreciates your fight for your kingdom, so your land is still yours. ”

"If you are willing to submit, Sparta will be stronger than ever. As long as you are willing to surrender, you will be able to achieve real victory in no time. ”

"All you need to do is lay down your arms and kneel before the God-King Xerxes."

During the field, there was a sudden silence.

Only the sound of the wind, the tassels on the king's helmet, which continued to blow, also blew his calm mood at this time.

The king's eyes looked into the distance, as if he were looking into the distance.

Actually, he thought of an old incident from many years ago.
