Chapter 13: Madness
The key man was the deformed Spartan descendant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
This man wanted to join the king's team to defend against the enemy, but because of his non-standard body shape and inability to cooperate with the other warriors, the king of Sparta politely refused.
The man then threw himself into the enemy camp in a fit of rage, and led Xerxes' detachment to the back of the Spartans, causing Leonidas to see his hopes of victory almost come to naught.
Ling Zifeng was vigilant in his heart, but there was really no good countermeasure in front of him.
Since this man had always been a Spartan descendant, and although Moisanthi's Assassin team could assassinate him, Leonidas would certainly not let them do whatever they wanted.
If they were to act rashly and accidentally make a self-defeating move, it would inevitably turn the Spartans' trust in them into hostility in the blink of an eye.
If that's the case, the gains outweigh the losses, so we can only ignore the improvisation for the time being.
Everyone hurried all the way down and soon came to their destination.
Onsen Pass is a natural pass, and at a glance, you can see a slender valley entrenched in the belly of the mountain like a long snake.
The valley is deep, and when you look at the top of the mountain, you will feel as if you are as high as the sky.
Similarly, the cliffs on both sides are naturally high and smooth, and it is impossible to climb them with the manpower of this era, of course, this also cuts off the possibility of the enemy sneaking around the mountain.
The valley was still very narrow, and the slender passage stretched for miles, and at the end of the passage there were two portal-like mountain walls in between, leaving only an even narrower passage, the only road in the place.
In Ling Zifeng's eyes, these two "doors" are too big, too grandiose, and too shocking.
It looks like a golden gate to heaven, and a blood-colored pass to the abyss of hell.
The wall is also very thick, much thicker than the average wall, and the wall blocks the already narrow passage even more crowded.
According to Ling Zifeng's estimation, this natural pass can allow more than a dozen people to pass side by side at most, and it is impossible for the huge army to give full play to the advantage of numbers here.
One can imagine how wise Leonidas made the choice of the battlefield to block the enemy.
Ling Zifeng followed the Spartans out of the passage to the outside of the Hot Spring Pass, only to see that outside the pass was a relatively spacious passage with one side of the sea and one side against the cliff, and not far from the passage was an endless plain.
The vast gray sea outside the gate rises and falls in the sky, and the wide sea seems to be connected with the sky, looking so high and so terrifying.
Of course, there is also the plain in the distance of the passage, and Ling Zifeng can't see the edge when he looks at the past.
This scene made him sigh in his heart, "I'll go~ This is called the sea and the sky, and the land is vast." β
For an otaku like him, how have he ever seen such a majestic and magnificent scenery, and the immersive scene is really not comparable to a movie.
Just as he was sighing, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "Look! Persian! β
As the man shouted, he saw a black thing appear in the distance between the plains and the sea.
Those things were like a vast dark cloud spread over the earth, and they didn't look very real from a distance.
Ling Zifeng thought to himself, "Could it be that these are the Persian army?" How much does it look like it's pitch black? β
He didn't dare to think or wonder if the number of enemies might really be too terrifying, and as time went by, those black things slowly approached, and gradually became visible to the naked eye.
Ling Zifeng shuddered.
The shadow of the ship that covered the sky from the sea was as black as a dark cloud, and a large area of water was dyed and changed.
An army from the plain stretched as far as the eye could see, towering over the plain like a mountain, obscuring the sky over the plain.
Ling Zifeng had never seen such a large legion, nor had he seen so many people.
Suddenly he felt very small, very small.
In front of this army like mountains and seas, he is not even as good as an ant.
In an instant, his pride in becoming a magician vanished, and the childish idea of killing Xerxes with magic alone dissipated.
He thought to himself, what an idiot he was, he actually thought that he could be powerful in this era of cold weapons.
Now it seems that his own trick is a joke in front of a huge army.
Needless to say, Mozandhi, a petite and delicate assassin beauty, and not to mention the brave warrior of the king of Sparta.
Even the Persians on the other side of the country, they only need one percent.
No! As long as the first thousandth of people surround him, then he will definitely die.
And they will die very quickly, very tragically.
He finally understood his arrogance, in fact, he was still very weak.
A truly strong man, such as King Leonidas and the like, he is no opponent.
Even if it is an ordinary person, as long as it exceeds a certain number, he will die.
This is the gap in strength.
Thinking of these gaps that he ignored, Ling Zifeng couldn't help but feel uneasy in his heart, and some complicated emotions in his eyes were undoubtedly revealed.
All this was seen by Leonidas, he walked to Ling Zifeng's side, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Look at these bitches, they actually marched here without any scruples!" β
"It seems that they have long expected that there will be problems inside Sparta, otherwise they would not dare to attack so recklessly if they borrowed a few more dog guts."
Ling Zifeng came back to his senses in a slight daze, and said with some confidence: "Yes, I didn't expect them to really have so many people, it seems that it will be very difficult for us to kill Xerxes." β
He had not forgotten the task given to him by the Lord God to kill the Persian king Xerxes, but he was extremely worried when he looked at the enemy troops scattered all over the mountains in front of him.
Isn't there too many enemies?
Ling Zifeng frowned deeply, thinking about how he should deal with the situation in front of him.
Leonidas suddenly grinned and said, "Do you think that it is an impossible task for us to defend against the enemy, or even to kill Xerxes?"
Ling Zifeng was guessed and thought, and nodded helplessly.
But before he could speak, Leonidas rushed to say, "Don't worry too much, the gods of Olympus have not abandoned us. β
"Look! God, it's going to rain! β
After speaking, he pointed to a place on the sea in the distance and motioned for Ling Zifeng to take a look as well.
"What does it have to do with the situation of war? Could it be that God will still drench the Persians to death? β
Ling Zifeng wondered in his heart what the rain had to do with the battle situation in front of him, but he still looked carefully into the depths of the sea, and suddenly a flash of brightness flashed in his heart, and he thought of a fragment of the original plot.
He saw the dense Persian fleet on the sea in the distance getting closer and closer, and he thought that the black thing he saw was the Persian army.
Now when I look closely, I find that it is not only the army, but also many real and dark clouds, which are rain clouds of torrential rain.
Nimbus clouds, very thick.
Suddenly, a flash of lightning in the sky illuminated the dark earth under the dark clouds, and the majestic thunder of "boom" kept coming and roaring.
In the blink of an eye, a hurricane from nowhere, mixed with a downpour, rushed towards the Persian ships.
Thunder and lightning combined with storms.
Ling Zifeng didn't know why this kind of heavenly damnation-level storm could come at all.
And it came so unreasonable, so merciless.
Leonidas knew that the gods of Olympus would have no mercy on their enemies.
A merciless storm ravaged the Persian fleet, and for a time the ship cracked and the people turned over miserably.
In the eyes of the Greeks, however, these terrifying storms were not only unforgiving, but also very lovable.
For in less than half an hour, the Persian fleet was completely engulfed by the storm in front of them.
The storm stopped, and everywhere there were floating wrecked ships of the Persian fleet, and everywhere there were Persian corpses that went with the flow.
Not a single Persian survived the storm!
The Persian navy, all destroyed!
As the Spartans prayed in praise of God, Ling Zifeng's heart was terrified again.
Others may not know it, but he studied magic in the last reincarnation world and experienced that feeling.
He knew that unleashing magic would produce a trace between heaven and earth that ordinary people could not detect.
This inexplicable storm just now, he is very sure that it is a kind of magic!
However, what kind of person, or what kind of creature has the ability to unleash such a terrifying magic, can change the color of the heavens and the earth and make the sea churn in an instant.
He didn't dare to think about it, and he didn't want to think about it.
After all, this is the world of reincarnation, not the real world.
Even if there really is such a high god in this world, it is not an incredible thing.
He felt so real about the storm just now, and thought to himself, "If you can survive in this reincarnation world, when you return to the main god space, you must ask the time lord god about the problems of these incredible powers in the reincarnation world." β
But now is not the time to think about that.
Ling Zifeng listened to the deafening cheers of the Greeks around him, and he looked at the wreckage that was still sinking on the sea in the distance.
found that even Mo Sandi beside him was looking at the sea with excitement in his eyes.
It was an excellent start, as half of the enemy's army was swallowed up by the sea before they could see it, relieving them of untold pressure on their defenses.
However, he discovered that there was one man in the crowd who was still maintaining the usual caution of the Spartans - King Leonidas.
He looked into the distance, as if he was lost in thought, and there was an indescribable depth in his eyes.
γγγγγγ
At the same time, far away in the chamber of the Senate of the Spartan capital.
The queen of Sparta, dressed in a solemn and solemn robe, stood in the center of the hall.
An old voice rang out from the senator's seat: "The queen should stay in the court to entertain guests, or educate our prince, not to come to the senate!" β
The queen stood in the middle of the hall and said in a voice that was neither humble nor high-pitched: "I don't care about any traditions and rules now, I only know that my husband faces an army of 100,000 on the border. β
"And yet he has only 300 guards, and he is also the king of Sparta, the king of all of you!"
Perhaps the queen spoke in a harsh tone, or perhaps she said something so loudly that the hall was silentγγγγγγ
It took a long time for everyone in the hall to come to their senses, only to hear another old voice say harshly: "Even if we, the Senate, are willing to vote and support King Leonidas with all our strength." β
"But what do we get?"
The queen was very angry when she heard this.
She thought that her king was struggling to defend himself against the enemy outside the country, and that he was going to die!
However, the incomparably glorious and sacred matter of rescuing the king has become a bargaining chip in the mouths of these old immortal fellows.
The queen was speechless for a whileγγγγγγ
"How shameless and pathetic they are. Could it be that when people are old, they are all so bloodless, and everything is judged by the gains and losses of interests? The queen couldn't help but curse in her heart.
She wanted so badly to lash out at these ruthless old fellows, and she wanted so badly to use the overnight toilet to snap on the heads of these shameless members of the Senate.
However, not today.
She must save the king of the country and save her husband.
