Leonidas casually waved the spear in his hand and separated the tip of the general's spear and said, "I didn't give this order. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The general slowly lowered his spear, but the vigilance in his eyes did not decrease by half a minute.

The king signaled that he was safe, and continued to say to the hunchbacked man in front of him: "Forgive my general, he is a good soldier, but he is a little quick-tempered. ”

The hunchbacked man bowed his head and said humbly, "It doesn't matter if you forgive, brave king, I know what I look like。。。。。。 ”

The king interrupted him and said, "You, in the red robes of Sparta? ”

In this sentence, the king is asking about his origins.

The hunchbacked man raised his head a little excitedly and said, "My name is Ephiati, and I was born in Sparta. Because my family took pity on me and did not want me to be abandoned by the state and die, they stayed away from Sparta. ”

(According to Spartan tradition, they would abandon babies born with birth defects, so Ephiati's parents chose to leave their homeland in order to keep him alive, regardless of Spartan honor.) ）

The king asked, "Then where did your shield and armor come from?" ”

Ephiati replied proudly, "This is my father's, Your Majesty!" ”

The king nodded before he could speak, but listened to Ephia continue, "I beg you, the king of great courage... Give me a chance to restore my father's reputation and let me fight for you! My father trained me to be fearless and to turn the shield in my hand into a part of my body, just like my burning heart! ”

While talking about him, he waved the weapon in his hand excitedly, and his posture was a good master.

Ling Zifeng admired in his heart, this may be the master of escapism who is disabled and determined in martial arts novels, and the prince of Dali is not like this.

The mutilation of the body does not stop them from seeking strong determination, but once these disabled and determined creatures have the ability to surpass ordinary people, they will also have some emotions that ordinary people do not have.

I saw that the hunchbacked man over there, Ephia, continued to say excitedly: "I will prove with my actions in the battle that I can inherit my father's armor and weapons, the noble king... ”

Leonidas nodded solemnly and said appreciatively:

"Good skills!"

However, he seemed to suddenly think of something, frowned, and slowly stepped forward and commanded Efati:

"Raise Your Shield"

Efati seemed to have heard a very difficult order, and he looked at the king with some hesitation and asked:

"Your Majesty's 。。。。。。"

King Leonidas insisted on repeating it:

"Take your shield as high as you can."

Unable to refuse the king's order, Efati exerted all his strength to raise the shield he held in his left hand.

Unfortunately, no matter how hoarse he roared, the shield was not raised even half an inch.

He was born with a disability, his left hand was almost crippled, and he didn't know how much effort it took to hold such a heavy shield in his hand, and it was impossible to lift it high.

Leonidas looked at him with some regret and said, "Your father should have told you how we lined up our formation, and everyone formed an unbreakable whole, and that was the secret of our victory. ”

The king walked around to his right and stood side by side, only to see him raise his shield in front of the hunchbacked man and continue: "Each soldier covers the man on his left, covering his thighs to his neck with his shield, and if there is a single hole, the formation will collapse. ”

The king withdrew his shield, walked back to the hunchbacked man, and said helplessly, "From thighs to neck, Efati. I'm sorry... My friend."

As he spoke, he gestured his hand from his thigh to his neck, and it was indeed impossible for his teammates to block the enemy under any circumstances with the height of the hunchbacked man's shield in front of him.

The king was sorry, but the hunchbacked man Efati was very unwilling, and his face was displeased, and he stood silently thinking about something.

After a moment of silence, the king said apologetically, "Not everyone can become a soldier, if you really want to help Sparta。。。。。。 ”

Efati replied with some annoyance: "Yes, the king I want to help Sparta, but what can I do?" ”

"Then clean up the soldiers who died on the battlefield, take care of the wounded soldiers, bring them water... Because of the war itself ... Because we cannot let the Formation Collapse ... I can't use you ... ”

The king said gloomily and turned to leave.

The hunchbacked man Efati was full of unwillingness, he was angry, he was resentful, he was unwilling to be a logistics soldier, he wanted to go into battle to kill the enemy, he wanted to correct his father's name.

"Ahhh~ Why? Why don't you let me go to war! Why? ”

Unwilling tears slipped down his ugly face, and he screamed and screamed, and turned around to leave.

While quietly watching all this, Ling Zifeng suddenly felt a burst of excitement.

He stepped forward a few steps forward and asked the hunchbacked man with a solemn expression, "Warrior Ephiati!" Would you like to hear a few words from below? ”

Efati turned around, wiped away her tears, and said vigilantly, "Who are you?" What to say? ”

Say what? Of course, Ling Zifeng wanted to leave such the most critical plot character behind, at least he couldn't let him go to the informant, otherwise the entire Hot Spring Pass would face the danger of being attacked by the enemy.

So he repeated his old tricks, unfolded his magic tricks, and said with a smile on his face: "I am a magician who followed the king on his expedition, and I am from the east, which is farther away than Persia. ”

Efati asked suspiciously, "A magician?" Looking for me, what are you doing? ”

Listening to the hunchbacked man's inquiry, Ling Zifeng replied with a smile on his face: "I don't know if the Efatiati warriors are interested in joining the special operations group on our side?"

"Although His Majesty has rejected you because of the situation, you can still go into battle and kill the enemy when you join us, and you can also deal with the Persians."

As he spoke, he pointed to the team of the Assassin League led by Mo Sandi.

Ling Zifeng suddenly looked like an old bustard, it was not his sudden idea to win over the deformed hunchbacked man in front of him.

As early as the first time he heard Mo Sandi say that someone was following and confirming that he was the key person in this plot, he had an idea in his heart to see if he could keep this guy who affected the development of the plot.

If they could, then they wouldn't have too many worries when facing the Persians, and it would even affect his future mission to kill Xerxes.

And in the world of reincarnation, it is possible to get luck points for those who take the initiative to change the plot.

Therefore, after thinking about it along the way, he felt that if this matter happened, not only would there be no bad consequences, but he might also get precious luck points.

So, he still mustered up the courage to take the initiative to persuade this key figure who affected the plot.

Seeing him like this, Mo Sandi frowned puzzled.

She didn't know what Ling Zifeng was thinking, but she thought that the magician might behave strangely and mysteriously like this, so she didn't have any opinions, and watched quietly.

Seeing Ling Zifeng say this, a more puzzled look flashed in Ephiati's eyes.

He asked curiously, "Special Operations Group?" What's that for? ”

Ling Zifeng smiled and explained: "It's like a sentry on the battlefield, conducting surprise raids, spying on military intelligence or something." ”

Efati listened to it and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Can you go to the frontal battlefield?!" ”

Ling Zifeng originally planned to accept directly, but looking at the worried eyes of King Leonidas on the side, he still asked casually.

"Your Majesty, the enemy's army will come in a while, can we go to the frontal battlefield?"

The king shook his head and said, "I will not allow you to mingle with the Spartan army when you enter the battle, and the same will be true of the Athenians who have come to their aid. ”

"Because it will disrupt our position, and it will be counterproductive in the process of blocking the enemy. I regret that this is a war of disparities in numbers. ”

"We can't afford to be negligent!!"

Ling Zifeng frowned helplessly, he didn't expect that the king would not even let them go to the frontal battlefield.

Ephiati roared angrily: "It's another formation! Speaking of which, I'm afraid I'll hold you back! ”

He spat and angrily threw away the heavy shield in his hand, turned around and disappeared between the hot springs and valleys after a few ups and downs.

Looking at his fading back, Leonidas instructed the general beside him: "Let the reinforcements from Athens send people to guard the ancient path of the shepherds, and pray that no one will leak secrets to the Persians." ”

Ling Zifeng on the side didn't think that God would stop the hunchbacked man just now from going to tell the Persians.

He was also not optimistic that the reinforcements from Athens could guard the Shepherd's Road, because he had watched the plot and knew that the Persians still copied the back road of the Spartans, and this group of Athenians was unreliable.

He was a little worried about not being able to keep the hunchbacked man, but then he thought, "Isn't there a team of elite assassins in this girl Mo Sandi, why don't you let them deal with this key person?" ”

"And seeing that the hunchbacked man has broken with the king of Sparta, the king will not take the initiative to solve him, but he should not care about this guy's life or death."

So, he solemnly leaned into Mo Sandi's ear and said, "Can you get rid of this guy just now?" I see that he is very angry, and if he doesn't make it, he will go to the enemy, but don't let such a person affect our plans! ”

Mo Sandi felt the slightly hot breath exhaled by Ling Zifeng, and she felt that her face was a little hot.

Slightly embarrassed, he replied: "This is easy, but this man seems to be a Spartan warrior?" Shall we ask King Leonidas? ”

As she spoke, she slightly left Ling Zifeng's lips a little, and the burning sensation on her face subsided a little.

Ling Zifeng didn't notice these movements, thought about it and shook his head, "I don't think it's necessary, and the Spartans don't seem to want to see him." And the king gave him a chance, but he was too proud. ”

Mo Sandi calmed down, regained her composure and nodded, "I'll send a few brothers to solve it." With that, she walked over to the Assassin team and gave a few orders.

Seven men in black clothes immediately left the team and walked into the vast mountains under the pretext of spying on the military situation.

The king watched their actions and did not speak, not knowing whether he had guessed their intentions or not, and he continued to arrange for the army to arrange the task in silence.

Leonidas thought for a moment and then came to Ling Zifeng and Mo Sandi and said, "I have a task here that I want to ask you to help with."

Ling Zifeng and Mo Sandi nodded in agreement, and the king leaned over and whispered to them, "In view of the particularity of your team... First to the rear station... It can be at this time ... Such and such... ”

After some explanation, both agreed to Leonidas' arrangement, and they silently led the Assassin team to a slightly higher platform in the valley behind, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Persian army.
