7. The undercurrent is turbulent
Soaking in the hot water, Chu Ci felt the impact of the water flow and massage, and the fatigue accumulated in three days was washed away by the warm pure water, and he felt extremely relaxed and natural. Sadako's soft little hand pressed on Chu Ci's chest to relieve the soreness of his muscles (don't ask me why they are in the same bathtub, please look at the naked/naked dragon girl in another bathtub three meters away), and he is like a hedonistic uncle, his eyes are slightly narrowed, looking at the diffuse mist and the delicate and lovely girl, but his head is thinking about his next trip.
The world is impermanent, so Chu Ci never makes an immutable plan, but always adapts measures to local conditions and makes changes at any time.
Therefore, when Chu Ci had an in-depth understanding of the customs and folklore of Greece, he woke up from the delusion of 'one person attacking one city' at the beginning, he didn't want to exhaust his alchemy energy to create an army of battle puppets, and on the way to attack half of the Greek city-states, thousands of adventurers and rangers suddenly appeared, and then directly took the Chinese army, shouting 'Enemy shame, I go and take off his clothes', and kill himself.
So even if you want to attack the Greek city-states, you need a little skill.
For example - Trial of the Brave!
There is no shortage of brave and warlike warriors in Greek history, who, for various strange reasons, waved their arms, gathered the people into soldiers, and then killed the tyrannical king, ascended the throne and became the new exploiting class, and were talked about by the world.
"So you need to be famous, the main line of Hot Springs Pass can't fail, once it fails, at least five city-states must be defeated to make up for the loss, plus the time for the Persians to march, I only have days left -
Thirteen days! ”
Chu Ci opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze was like two long swords unsheathed, revealing the edge of broken gold and broken iron. I was about to shake the tiger's body.
The next second. A warm tongue licked lightly on Chu Ci's chest. Like a naughty cat, Chu Ci, who had not yet shaken the tiger body, was knocked down at once, and then the water splashed, and the spring / color was rolling, even the little dragon girl next door couldn't help but hold her breath, and her skin was full of emotional pink.
The next day, Chu Ci leaned on the straw pile and basked in the sun. Let the ox cart go slowly, pressing his left hand on his waist from time to time, and showing a pleasant smile on his face, which provoked the two girls to be disgusted.
There were still a few miles to Athens, and Chu Ci was not in a hurry, thinking about how to provoke the contradictions between the Athenians, profit from them, and achieve the goal of capturing Athens.
Dozing off and giving the pillow, before Chu Ci could think of it, several knights who galloped away on the side sent good news to Chu Ci.
The Athenians are divided!
Athenian democracy. It is a compulsory test point in middle school history textbooks, although the textbooks also say that this democracy has the limitations of the times. The rudiments of a democratic republic had all its drawbacks, but the textbooks never considered how a 'democratic' regime could unite to resist Xerxes' army of tens of millions when a 'democratic' regime was confronted with a devastating war, and the enemy was 'merciful' to give him a way out.
"Fish in troubled waters, and then sow discord, if it succeeds, this cultural source will be the first to fall!" Chu Ci smiled lightly, in history, Xerxes was blocked by Leonidas in Hot Springs for ten days, and when he hit here, the Athenians would have run away a long time ago, but I didn't expect that as soon as Xerxes changed the surrender policy, the Athenians fell into a divided and chaotic situation before they made the decision to clear the wilderness.
Every move Chu Ci made in this place was constantly changing the balance of the Polish-Greek war until he accumulated enough advantages to eat Greece, a gathering place of scholars and wisdom, in one fell swoop.
And
The power of the gods is waiting for Chu Ci!
When he arrived at the Athenian city-state full of humanistic atmosphere, Chu Ci could almost feel the ubiquitous divine grace, which was a vast and magnificent divine power, less than the divine power of the Persian gods on Xerxes's body, a little less drastic destruction, and a little more gentle and steady.
The architectural style of Athens was not much different from that of Sparta, with stone columns stacked on top of each other in the form of drum-like blocks, connected by mortise and tenon joints or metal pins. The wall is also made of stone blocks, the blocks are smooth and fine, the masonry joints are tight, no cemented materials are used, and the internal space is simple to close. As a result of this environment, the walls of Athens are not too high, about seven or eight meters, and it is easy to attack the city, but at the same time, the roads inside Athens are well-connected and extremely smooth, especially suitable for small-scale elite rangers to engage in street fighting.
The Athenians dressed coolly, and their clothes were mostly made of uncut and unstitched rectangular fabrics, draped, wrapped, or tied with pins and belts, revealing underpants and bodices inside the cloth as they walked. This kind of clothing looks elegant and loose, and can be freely adjusted and changed according to the wearer's aesthetic wishes and different wearing needs, fully reflecting the wild imagination of the Athenians.
Chu Ci paid attention to another point, how many short swords and daggers could be hidden in the seemingly spacious clothes of the Athenian guards who were patrolling the streets? With a pull of the white belt, will it be able to immediately put the excess clothes into a fighting state?
As Xerxes approached, Athens became restless, and people could be heard arguing everywhere about current affairs, some considering surrender, some arguing and protesting, and some thinking of fleeing.
A few days ago, Athens would never have been so chaotic, and the Democratic Assembly had only two options: fight or withdraw.
"Young man, where are you from?" Chu Ci watched the quarrel of several Athenians, rising from moving to moving, and finally was pressed to the ground by the guards to eat mud, during which he did not show his face at all, as if he did not agree with the views of either side, which attracted the attention of a certain old man, who took the initiative to come and say hello.
"I'm from France, and I'm travelling around, sir, is Greece going to war?" Chu Ci's clothes were completely different from those of the Athenians, so he was not surprised that the old man saw through them.
"Yes, the barbarian Persians are coming." The corners of the old man's eyes and eyebrows were full of scratches left by the years, but this could not stop his wisdom, there was no cloudiness in those half-squinted eyes, and some were full of clarity and wisdom: "But Greece is not Egypt, nor Macedonia, even if Greece is destroyed by fire, the spirit and culture of the Greeks will live forever." ”
Chu Ci sighed in his heart, this is a city-state that can only be defeated materially, even an old man passing by has such a firm will, and gently strokes his chest with his right hand: "Hello, my name is Lancelot, may I ask who you are?" ”
"Oh, Lancelot, good name." The old man held out his hand: "I am Heraclitus." ”
"Heraclitus?" Chu Ci obviously returned all his knowledge to the history teacher, although it sounded a little familiar, but he couldn't think about it, so he could only secretly remember that he would ask Zhenhong again when he had time in the evening, and now he would praise this old man first, "I wish you a long life, happiness, and more truth and knowledge." ”
"Haha, the mouth is not right. You young people just don't know how to calm down and do learning. Heraclitus is old and sophisticated, how can he not see Chu Ci's thoughts, and he is not angry after breaking it, and now the situation in Athens needs a large number of heroic rangers with a full sense of justice to turn the tide, so he smiled and said: "Come, I will take you around Athens."
