Chapter 53: The Oracle Messenger
Walking through the narrow city of Sparta, Wang Jun expressed deep contempt for the level of urban planning shown by the Spartans.
Emphasis was placed on military affairs, so the Spartan warriors were famous throughout Greece; Despise art, as a result of which the Spartan city throughout Greece, is notorious.
The various buildings of the city have no connection with the words beautiful and beautiful, there is no level between high and low, the walls are dirty, and garbage can be seen everywhere; Thanks to the blessing of attaching importance to the military, these buildings that are not very good inside and outside are very solid and solid, which can be regarded as an advantage!
Looking at the Spartan warriors beside him, Wang Jun couldn't help but think maliciously, these muscular men just wore a pair of briefs and put on a battle robe and walked around, is it because it is convenient to take a bath?
Wang Jun wanted to find a place to bathe now, the air in the wild was fresh, the natural environment in BC was beautiful, but the city of Sparta in BC was dirty...... In all fairness, Wang Jun had no intention of belittling Sparta; Look at the men and women walking on the streets, the hems of their robes are covered with dirt and grass seeds, gray and black, and this is just a microcosm. Compared with the Romans during the "Gladiator" period, Sparta is now like a dark age, and the sanitation is really poor; Wang Jun remembered that even in the barracks, those Roman soldiers would make bathhouses and toilets a key project.
Sparta, located in the south-central part of the Peloponnese, was geographically quite good, both economically and militarily; The city is located in a valley that gradually spreads from north to south, and the valley expands from the valley to the plain of the canyon, which is more and more open to the south, and stretches to the coast, with vast fields.
The two mountain ranges that form the canyon, starting at the intersection northwest of Sparta, one runs due south and plunges into the sea, the other southeast and finally into the sea; Two huge mountain ranges, like huge walls, kept Sparta's land routes safe; And the ends of the two mountain ranges, which plunge deep into the sea, form a huge caliper that arches over the natural U-shaped bay.
Perhaps the Spartans were the illegitimate children of some great Greek god, and in this already quite good geographical condition, they were actually given a small island; The island of Pesila, like a huge jewel, dots a little south-east of the huge U-shaped bay; If you set up a cannon on this island, the bay will be safe, but at this time, there is absolutely no such thing as a cannon.
As soon as Leonidas and his party entered Sparta, they got a bombshell news that the heavyweight of the Senate, Siron, Leonidas's wife, and Queen Gou Ge stabbed him to death with a sword, and the incident took place in the Senate chamber.
Some of the information contained in this was expected by Leonidas, for Wang Jun had told him; Some were unexpected, of course, this was also because Wang Jun had scruples and didn't tell him.
For example, Gou Ge was said by Xi Lang in public to be a prostitute, and he once seduced Xi Lang and other parliamentarians!
For example, Siron is a traitor!
……
These bullshit incidents further confirmed the accurate surname of Wang Jun's prediction; In Leonidas's heart, he added several pounds of weight to Wang Jun, who was already considered a heavyweight. However, now it is actually involved in his own queen; There's nothing to say about stabbing Xi Lang to death, but what Xi Lang said in public, those things between men and women, are they true? Or is it fake?
Leonidas was messy.
Wang Jun could only sympathize with Leonidas's housework in his heart, but it was really difficult to help; So, Leonidas had no heart to deal with official business, and after sending everyone away, he went home alone in a daze.
He was not familiar with the environment in Sparta, and the environment was really not good, so Wang Jun simply took 12 of his subordinates and followed Fassbender and his party into the Spartan barracks.
The Spartan barracks, with few people, but a large and large area.
Looking up, I saw a large area in the barracks, which was used for training for soldiers; The Spartan men, who hardly did anything else, were training every day how to cut and stab people; In addition, they have been selected since childhood, and all of them have a good natural physique, so it is actually normal for the bravery of the Spartan warriors to be able to laugh at Greece.
Walking into the Spartan barracks for a while, Wang Jun soon found that it was divided into areas according to the age structure of the soldiers.
For children aged 7 to 12, a separate area is assigned to an experienced veteran to teach; All the child soldiers also underwent further detachment training according to their age, getting up before dawn and having training classes after dark.
Timid?
Do you want to persuade you to eat?
Engage in a petty surname?
Wang Jun looked all the way, there is really no here!
Moreover, even if the children make only a little mistake in training, the result is tragic; It is impossible to distinguish between them, tied to a stake, and using thick rattan is a severe beating, and you can't cry halfway, and you can't cry when you're done; If someone cries, I'm sorry, hit it again.
In order to train these children's courage, in order to give them a preliminary understanding of what it is like to kill, the old soldiers also provided [***] for them to try.
The so-called "[***]" is the "black laborers" under Sparta, these slaves who have no human rights are captured at will as "[***]"; A 1-meter-long, bowl-thick log is firmly tied vertically behind the back of the "Black Laborer", and at the same time, the hands of the "Black Laborer" are also tied to the wood; Only his feet can move freely, but the log behind him is dragging to the ground, making it very difficult to walk.
And those 7 or 8-year-old child soldiers, holding special spears in both hands, under the "education" of the veterans' rattans, screamed and rushed to the "black laborers" who had difficulty in moving; Every child soldier must kill "[***]" within a limited time, otherwise, it will be a fat beating.
Even though the royal army had already participated in all kinds of bloody killings, it was still a little creepy to see the Spartans do this; If the scene in front of us is put into the future generations, it will inevitably be a major crime of child abuse, and it is the most inhumane kind.
The 13 to 18-year-old boy soldiers are also a reading area, and the people who are responsible for guiding them are all Spartan warriors in their prime; The training here has obviously increased the intensity, improving strength, improving endurance, skill training or something, Wang Jun's eyes are straight when he sees it; Think about yourself, what are you doing as a teenager? Climbing trees to dig birds' eggs? Carrying a school bag to school?
The training of young soldiers, battle formation training and confrontation training have become the main contents; Groups of young soldiers formed small Spartan phalanxes, confronting each other, and the scene was extremely hot.
Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime, this sentence is not easy to use when it comes to the Spartans.
This is how the Spartans taught the young soldiers, to shed more blood in peacetime, and not to lose their lives in wartime. And so it is, on the training ground, there is blood; The scars on the bodies of the teenagers can be seen everywhere, the spear is a real spear, the round shield is a real round shield, the training of real knives and real guns, accidental injuries are inevitable. Recalling the Battle of Hot Springs, the Battle of the Ancient Sheep Road, the scenes where the Spartan warriors pressed the Persian Empire's ace undead army, all the reasons can be found here.
After that, there was the Spartan Chengren barracks; It's also not idle here, and on the training ground one after another, a group of muscular men are organizing and disciplined to PK each other; In short, throughout the Spartan barracks, the shouts were endless.
After seeing too much, Wang Jun was a little numb, and went into the camp provided by Fassbinder, intending to take a break and sort out his next thoughts; It was not an easy task to completely defeat the Persians and gradually unify Greece.
However, before the king's stool was hot, the figure at the entrance of the tent swayed; Looking up, hehe, the energetic Starlius and Astino, mysteriously got in.
"Wang Jun! Take you to a good place. Starlius frowned and said to Wang Jun.
"Where?" Wang Jun asked curiously.
"Talk as you go......" Starlius glanced at Astino, and the two of them dragged Wang Jun out.
……
"Who are they?" Wang Jun looked away, turned his head and asked Starus in a low voice.
"Oracle Messenger...... This year's Sun God Sacrifice Festival is given to those ugly oracle messengers. Starlius replied in a low voice, his eyes a little misty; And Astino, who had just turned 18, was even more unbearable, his eyes were already hooked, and he didn't hear what Wang Jun said at all.
a large tent, surrounded by a thick wooden fence, guarded by Spartan warriors; Through the gap in the fence, you can clearly see that in the open space inside, ten unusually beautiful Spartan girls are sitting on the ground. They had no smiles, no sorrows, and their faces were blank; Wang Jun has excellent eyesight, and naturally has a big advantage in the voyeuristic activities carried out by lying on the side wooden fence.
Starius they were all briefs, and then there was only one cape, which, in fact, most Spartan men were; Only those who were older than 60 years old, or those members of the Senate, wore a little more cloth, which was considered a robe, but still exposed their arms and part of their chest.
The clothes worn by the Spartan women, and the fabrics used, were only between these two types of men; Because of regular exercise, the Spartan women are in good shape, and their healthy complexion and the curves of their surnames are looming under the embellishment of a few simple pieces of linen. And now, these young, hot, and outstanding-looking women, wearing such clothes, are not ordinarily powerful; Not to mention the stupid Asti post-80s Shaolin abbot Wang Jun, who has read countless pictures, is also amazing!
Wang Jun walked around the city before, and there were a lot of people with a sense of surname, but I really haven't seen such a superb.
Oracle Messenger! No wonder, they were the prettiest girls in the entire Spartan-controlled area; Picked once a year, no one dared to refuse, even the king's daughter, the Spartans were theocratic and law-conscious; The ten girls had just finished their selection and had been brought here to be given to the mysterious priests at the feast of sacrifices.
The so-called oracle messengers are "consumed" by the priests every year with the so-called communication with the gods, so every year they replenish a batch through the sun god sacrifice festival.
I rub! What could be more outrageous?
Thinking of the disgusting priests in the movie, Wang Jun vomited; Starlius said that they were ugly, and Wang Jun thought that this definitely lifted them up.
A girl with long hair tied up, as if sensing someone watching them, turned her gaze to the wooden fence on the right; The moment his eyes touched Wang Jun, Wang Jun could clearly see that there was no sparkle in this girl's beautiful eyes.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in Wang Jun's head: "Save them!" ”
Well?
This is indeed Wang Jun's idea, but ...... This is the voice of the female surname, and it is the plug-in that has jumped out.
"Look, don't you like such a nice girl? Are you willing to let them go with those monsters? "The plug-in bewitched Wang Jun like an abyss succubus.
"Is there a reward?" Habitually, Wang Jun subconsciously bargained with the plug-in.
“%¥#・……―*#¥; Are you mistaken! Do you understand that heroes save beauty? Do you understand the promise of being a person? "The plugin is annoyed.
"Please pay attention to civilized language." Wang Jun really can't stand it, no matter how magical the plug-in is, but it's essentially a software with a soul, why do you like to scold people so much.
"Ahem, do I have one? I want to be gentle, to be ladylike......; Well, it's not a task, there's no reward, and that girl is much better than the one who is taking a shower in reality; Forget it, you can do it yourself! The plug-in lowered his tone stupidly, and his tone gradually calmed down; I don't know what the reason is for this period of time, it seems that it is particularly easy to be hit by Wang Jun, and there is no longer the momentum of never giving up without scolding Wang Jun for being crippled in the early days; No, as soon as the voice drops, the plug-in stops moving.
In the original plot, the Persian envoy bribed the group of guys through Siron, which flashed in front of Wang Jun's eyes; The piles of Persian gold coins probably dazzled the dog's eyes of those monsters; Each gold coin bears the portrait of Xerxes.
The corners of Wang Jun's mouth pulled an arc, priest?
"Am I pretty?" The girl with the bundle of hair suddenly stood up, walked to the wooden fence, and asked Wang Jun softly.
"But what's the use of being pretty...... It's not ...... yet" Without waiting for Wang Jun to answer, the girl continued to talk to herself; It was as if Wang Jun was just a puppet.
"You wait, I'll get you out." Wang Jun's low but firm voice interrupted the girl's whispering.
Suddenly, the girl's pupils seemed to burst out with a trace of brilliance, not much, just a trace of it.
Suddenly, Starlius and Astino, the two fools, came back to their senses and broke out in a cold sweat.
No way?
Could it be that this goblin worm is in the brain and intends to save the beauty violently?
The two of them just took Wang Jun to take a look, and they dared to have other ideas!
"Don't!" The two fools, one on the left and one on the right, held Wang Jun's hands tightly; Wang Jun's strength, they know very well that if Wang Jun goes crazy, then something big will definitely happen, and everyone will be doomed.
"Trust me!"
Looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, Wang Jun dropped such a sentence, shook off the two fools whose faces had changed, turned around and left.
"It's okay......"
Starlius and Astinos muttered as they hurried up.
