Ling Zifeng smiled slightly, and said to Leonidas:

"In our China, there is a saying that summer insects cannot be said to be ice, which means that insects that grow in summer cannot tell them the cold ice of winter. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

It is also appropriate to use this sentence as a metaphor for the priest on the mountain, who only knows the immediate benefits and does not worry about future threats.

Such an opening statement was a trick made by Ling Zifeng in order to gain the approval of the king of Sparta.

Sure enough, Leonidas savored this sentence, thought for a while and said: "Yes, your statement is very appropriate, summer worms can't talk about ice, these maggots really can't talk to them about future threats." ”

Ling Zifeng saw that his Xuan Xuan was effective, and immediately continued with confidence: "So His Majesty doesn't have to worry about these people, the army that should be sent still needs to be dispatched. ”

"After all, your country and your people can only rely on you to protect them, and it would be the greatest dereliction of duty to your subjects if you rely on those deworming priests."

Leonidas listened to this slightly critical sentence, and his eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness and helplessness hidden in his heart.

He sighed slightly and said: "As long as the priest does not agree to send troops, those old guys in the Senate will not support me, I have no right to mobilize the country's army, and it is futile to think about it." ”

Ling Zifeng saw that the king had really fallen into the trap, so he immediately squinted his eyes and smiled: "Don't you still have a personal guard, you don't need to ask the consent of the Senate and the priests for the transfer of these people, right?" ”

He had already thought about this answer, although this was still according to the original plot, but now that he took the initiative to say it, it was not the helpless feeling of the original plot at all.

Hearing this, a flash of joy flashed in Leonidas' eyes, and he nodded and said, "That's right, the transfer of the pro-guard force is directly under my own control, and I don't need to inform anyone."

"But the total number of people in the pro-guard team is only about 300, and you plan to let me use this little manpower to face hundreds of thousands of troops?"

Ling Zifeng thought to himself, "Very good! Here's your chance! ”

So he smiled and said, "Isn't this crazy?" ”

The king of Sparta was a man of great character, and his words were right on the king's stomach.

But this is obviously a kind of foolishness, how can he not take advantage of the development of the plot when he knows it?

Sure enough, when the king listened to his evaluation, there was suddenly a lot of sympathy in his eyes.

He noticed that the magic boy in front of him seemed to be very angry with him, and it felt like he had been his old friend for many years.

Ling Zifeng didn't wait for the king to speak, he continued to flicker in an accentuated tone: "If His Majesty the King doesn't seize the opportunity to occupy the Tianyan Hot Spring Pass, then there will be no more wars in the future!" ”

"Once the Persian army has broken through the Thermopylae, they will gallop across this open field, and it will be in vain to put up any resistance."

These words were actually what the king of Sparta said to the priests on the holy mountain, but the king would not know that Ling Zifeng had already seen the plot.

When he found out that Ling Zifeng actually had the same thoughts as himself, the pity in his eyes couldn't help but turn into a burning appreciation.

He couldn't help but secretly admire in his heart, "Okay! This magic boy turned out to be a strategic person, not bad! ”

Before the king of Sparta could express his appreciation, he listened to Ling Zifeng continue: "What's more, the two of us will also help His Majesty the King to guard the hot springs together, and Miss Mo's strength of the assassin family can also help Your Majesty." ”

As he spoke, he nodded to Mo Sandi on the side and said, "Are you Miss Mo?" ”

Mo Sandi was a little at a loss by his sudden inquiry, but she thought about it for a while, what Ling Zifeng said basically did not conflict with her own plans.

So she nodded naturally and said to Leonidas: "That's right, Your Majesty, our League of Assassins will be responsible for patrolling, spying and even participating in the battle after you arrive at Thermopylae. ”

"Please rest assured, when we help you, we are helping ourselves, after all, my brother is still waiting for me to rescue him."

Leonidas nodded and grinned: "Very good~ This idea is indeed crazy, but I like it!" ”

He continued heroically: "You go to the city to rest, and I will let the general gather the men, and we will set off early tomorrow morning to meet the 100,000 army of Xerxes. ”

Although it was domineering to send troops like this, the king of Sparta was not an idiot, and he knew that it was impossible for him to really fight against 100,000 people with this alone.

So he thought for a moment and said, "I can let the queen try to persuade the Senate to send troops during the time we are away, we are not completely out of chance, the Spartans are the descendants of the god of war, will they still be afraid of those Persians!" ”

These words were heroic, and the king reverted to the strong, confident, and even crazy Spartan.

Ling Zifeng didn't know whether his behavior was good or bad, and what should have been figured out by the king from the queen was boiled by him in a few words.

Although the king of the original plot did it so crazy in the end, it was forced to go out with a heavy heart.

It's not the same concept at all that being confident now is like going to fight a war that must be won.

However, Ling Zifeng's original intention was to try to change the plot and see if he could get the luck value, but unfortunately he didn't hear the reminder of the main god, it seems that this kind of subtle plot change can't get the luck value.

However, the plot change was too drastic, and he didn't dare to try it now.

After all, he hadn't even landed the basic task [Kill Xerxes in Six Days] yet, and he didn't want to get the attention of the main god of the space again, and then reluctantly abandon a little black book or something.

……

As soon as the king left, Mo Sandi said to Ling Zifeng excitedly and worriedly: "Mr. Ling, do you think that the king of Sparta can resist the Persian army by doing this?" Will we be able to rescue my brother? ”

Ling Zifeng smiled and said, "First of all, I'm not sure that the Spartans can resist the Persian army, but this is the only way we can get close to the Persian king at this stage. ”

"If your intelligence is okay and your brother is indeed being taken by Xerxes, then we will have a chance to rescue him."

His words don't quite pick out the development of the plot.

Because he knew in his heart that it was impossible to tell Mo Sandi directly what was going to happen next, because that would seem too incredible.

In front of him, he could only let the plot develop, so under the help of the two, he decided to follow Leonidas to the hot spring pass to improvise.

Mo Sandi also sent a letter to the elders of the Assassin League in advance, asking them to send men to Hot Springs Pass to help as quickly as possible.

The two then separated and rested, and did not speak for the night.

The next morning, the two went all the way to Leonidas outside the city.

I saw a neat line of people lined up in front of him, about hundreds, all of them were fierce and burly, and all of them looked fierce and strong.

Ling Zifeng thought that these people were going to face hundreds of thousands of Persians, and he felt that it was both tragic and crazy.

Thinking that he was also forced to be helplessly involved in this madness, he had a slight sense of crisis.

But now the situation forced him to do so, and following the Spartans to Thermopylae was his only hope of completing his mission.

With his current strength, killing a target in six days is not a thought he can think about at all.

I saw Leonidas say to his general in front of the army: "All are here?" ”

The general said, "Three hundred, as you commanded... All Spartan warriors as crazy as you are! ”

Leonidas nodded at them slightly, seemingly satisfied that the group had the same madness as himself.

What kind of spirit is this kind of spirit for these people to be generous even though they are about to die.

This probably shouldn't be called death, there is a very strong word to describe their current behavior - "to die".

Suddenly, a young soldier said in an impassioned and loud voice: "Your Majesty, we are willing to follow you and give our lives for Sparta, for freedom." ”

Leonidas looked at the young warrior and smiled again, and he nodded in satisfaction.

At this time, Leonidas suddenly saw a young figure in the ranks, this man was the only son of the great general.

He turned to the general and said, "He's your son, he's too young to start a family." The king's implication was that the young man should not have accompanied them to his death.

Young people should have a future, but if they lose, Sparta's future will be dark.

So it's not surprising that there are a lot of young people in this team.

The general smiled slightly and said: "Although I have other candidates, he is just as brave and good at fighting, and when we fought side by side for the first time, he was only at this age. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at King Leonidas with memories in his eyes, and his eyes showed incomparable determination and madness.

He didn't seem to care at all that his son might stay under the loess of Hot Springs Pass forever, which was their pride!

Leonidas looked at the general's crazy and determined eyes, he smiled and nodded, "You are really my best friend! He is an incomparable general. ”

After speaking, he looked at the team again and was ready to leave, and at this time, a group of people came from the city.

These were all old men with gray beards, dressed in the standard robes of the Senate, and they were the members of the Spartan Senate, the "old fellows" of the king's mouth.

One by one, the "old fellows" walked to the head of the procession and came to King Leonidas, where one of them, a gray-haired old man, stepped out of the crowd.

With anxiety in his eyes, he said in a trembling voice: "My king, the oracle has already instructed that the priest has said that we can't send troops!" ”

"The Spartan army must not go to war, and it should not go to war, this is the law!"

Leonidas looked at the old guys in front of him and raised his eyebrows playfully.

He said sarcastically: "I didn't give a battle order, I just took a walk here, well~ move your muscles, these 300 people are my personal guards." ”

Listening to Leonidas' obviously perfunctory answer, Mo Sandi and Ling Zifeng both felt a little funny.

The old men of the Senate had already discovered them, and continued to ask, "What about these outsiders?" ”

Leonidas smiled and replied, "These two are my guests, and I will show them around Sparta... En~ That's right... They always need a tour guide or something~"

Mo Sandi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, and Ling Zifeng couldn't help but laugh.

I didn't expect the king to have such a humorous side, maybe in the face of these old-fashioned guys, only this humor can complement each other.

Leonidas continued: "Rest assured, the army of Sparta will remain in the country. ”

Perhaps the "old guys" also knew that the king was "singing a big show", but they could not directly refute the king's perfunctory.

So someone in the Senate asked unwillingly, "Then where are you going to go... Tourism? ”

Leonidas grinned and said, "I didn't think about it, but since you asked, then we will choose to go north." ”

"Hot Springs?" The man asked as if he had expected it.

Leonidas did not answer him, but waved his hand to the general beside him.

The general willingly gave the order to the troops to set off, and everyone turned and headed north.

The Senate had no right to interfere with the transfer of the King's Guard, and they were anxious when they saw that the King was about to leave.

Someone in the Senate anxiously asked, "What should we do?" ”

"What are you going to do? Hey! Sparta has to be defended! ”

Leonidas looked at them disdainfully and replied, and after saying that, he ignored the group of "old fellows" and turned north.
