The calm Sparta did not fall into stagnation because of the departure of the eight thousand young people, and the women continued to give birth, mending shields, sewing leather armor, and children playing with each other to exercise their young fighting skills. But there are always some people who can see through the turbulent waves behind the calm.

The queen of Sparta, Gogar, is such a woman with far-sighted vision, and she is just a woman.

In Sparta, the status of women was extremely low, so it was necessary for Gog to seek the support of the councillors, and among the Spartan councillors, only Featis, as an old Spartan, consistently supported Leonidas's proposal to send troops.

"Queen, a married woman should be entertained in the courtyard!" Fiatis was stubborn and old-fashioned among the Spartans, and always adhered to the Spartan tradition, asking the queen to come to the bright courtyard for a conversation without intrigue and concealment.

"Councillor, I don't care about rumors or manners at this time. Out of my room, I don't feel at ease anywhere. Even in my house, Xi Lang's eyeliner is looking for an excuse to create a dispute, so that he can deceive people in the country. Gogg came out of the room and apologized for inviting Fiatis in.

"Hearing you say that, it seems that the whole of Sparta is plotting against you." Fiatis also understood that extraordinary choices had to be made at very moments, and after a moment of hesitation, he went up the steps and entered the king's bedchamber, but he still turned his head sideways politely, not looking at the queen.

"I'd rather they were the only ones dealing with me." In Sparta, the king, the councillors, and the priests made up the power class of Sparta. There was no support from the councillors and priests. The king's rights will only be wielded. No matter a queen of low status.

"A lot of parliamentarians are willing to vote yes and give everything they can to support Leonidas, but what good is it for them to do so." Fertis affectionately addressed the king by his first name to indicate his political leanings, but that was not what the politicians in the House wanted.

"Can you arrange for me to speak in the House? If they need a reason, then I'll tell them! "Gog was a little disappointed in this elder, no matter how pure and brave the Spartan, after entering the parliament. It will also gradually wear away the glory of the Spartans.

"Tell them what, Queen?"

"Freedom is not without a price! It was paid for at a very high price - the price of blood! ”

Featis nodded with satisfaction, even though he was old and frail, and no longer brave, but Gog's fearlessness reawakened his blood: "I will do my best to gather all the councillors, and your voice will echo throughout the council hall."

"Boom!" The thin wooden door was directly crushed by the mace, and dozens of Spartan warriors rushed in from outside the dormitory, each armed with a weapon, and surrounded Fiatis and Gogar.

"Ridiculous, I don't think you have this chance!" Syron spun out from behind the Spartan warrior. Glancing at the two of them, "Look." What we see, a beautiful/glamorous queen, entertaining parliamentarians in the king's bedchamber and making ulterior deals. ”

"Siron, you are offending the majesty of the king and driving your people out, and no one can enter the king's chamber without permission." Featis was so angry that his beard was shaking, and he loudly accused Siron.

"Offending the majesty of the king? If I bring a few people in, even if it offends the majesty of the king, what about you! Adulterer/husband with the queen! "Knowing that the Persian cavalry was coming, the greatest credit that Xi Lang could make was undoubtedly to destroy the order of this city-state.

As the most powerful member of the Senate, Siran was clear about the deployment of Spartan troops, and the two hundred royal guards were always loyal to Leonidas, and the Spartan soldiers who supported the king and remained neutral were sent to meet the king, and the remaining 2,000 Spartan soldiers were all under the orders of the Senate, that is, the orders of Siron.

"Catch them and wait for the House of Representatives!" Sylon gave an order that was absolutely in line with the law but absolutely unpopular, and this order immediately aroused the wrath of the Spartan royal guards!

"Put down your filthy hands, and don't defile the queen's body!" One of the royal guards rushed out, drawing his dagger and slashing at the parliamentary warrior in front of him.

"Boom!" The parliamentary samurai also drew his short sword to block the attack, but in the next second, a thick thigh appeared on the parliamentary samurai's stomach, and the powerful impact brought severe pain, knocking the parliamentary samurai down in the blink of an eye.

"Councilor Xi Lang, you are a mess!" The royal guards had a shield in their left hand and a sword in their right hand, and there was a commotion at the door, and more than a dozen royal guards rushed in, forming a Spartan battle formation with shields in front and swords behind, forcing the parliamentary warriors loyal to Siron to retreat, and a half-meter interval was drawn in the center of the small courtyard, and the two sides were clearly distinguished.

"Xi Lang, you despicable politician, you dare to slander my reputation." Gao Ge was protected by the royal guards, and there was a good environment to think about Xi Lang's intentions, and immediately understood his despicable behavior, if the queen had a bad reputation, then Gao Ge would not be able to win the trust of the parliamentarians, and passed the plan to increase the army.

"It's not a slander, it's a fact, and these private soldiers of yours are also hindering me from enforcing the laws of Sparta!" What Xi Lang wants is for these hot-blooded and brainless royal guards to resist, once they resist, they can create friction, and then the blood of hatred will blind the eyes of all sane people, "Take them all down for me!" ”

"Boom!" The collision of the metal round shield and the metal round shield, "Boom! "Shortsword and shortsword sparked.

When the Spartans' most elite royal guards sent their short swords into the necks of the first parliamentary warriors, the battle slipped to the brink of spiraling out of control, from the king's chamber to the door of the council hall, where Spartans who supported the council or the king fought in chaos, and the Spartans who held different beliefs only used strong fists and sharp swords and spears to silence their opponents.

It is not unsad that the Spartans on both sides did not fall on the battlefield against foreign enemies, but died in internal intrigue struggles.

Watching the fire in the city, Gao Ge, who had always stood in the king's dormitory, showed sadness in his eyes, which was the sorrow for his people who were about to lose.

"Xi Ron, what exactly do you want to do?!" Featis's face was full of anger, his withered body seemed to ignite anger, and his clenched fist was filled with the hot blood of the god of war!

"I'm just a shameful politician." Xi Lang shook his slightly curly short hair with his hand and mocked, "So I'm on the side of the winner." ”

"Boom boom boom~~~" The sound of thousands of troops running from far and near, like rolling thunder in the sky, became louder and louder, and the water tank of the dormitory began to ripple in circles, and Gao Ge felt the slight vibration of the earth.

"Traitor!!" (To be continued.) )
