Chapter 54: The Roaring King

Before dawn, before the barracks began to grow, Leonidas's figure appeared in the barracks; Wang Jun slept in a daze in the bed, and was dragged out by a gloomy beard.

Looking at Leonidas's expression, Wang Jun knew that this cool bearded man had had a very unpleasant time last night; Twelve hoplites were called in and the tent was encircled, and no one was allowed to enter, even Leonidas's favorite general, Fassbinder, who had come to visit the king's army, was kept out of the tent.

Maybe because Wang Jun was not a Spartan, or maybe because Leonidas only had one friend, Wang Jun, anyway, Wang Jun became the object of Leonidas's confiding, and he confided without any reservations; For Wang Jun, Yali Mountain is big!

It is a blessing to be fully trusted, but it is also a responsibility.

Gou Ge did not deceive, told him everything that happened to Leonidas after he left home, and then stayed quietly, waiting for Leonidas to "decide"; Leonida spent most of the night on the balcony, saying nothing, doing nothing, or rather, he had no idea what he ought to do; This is a tragedy, and although Gou Ge's intention was to save Leonidas' life, Leonidas would rather die himself than do so.

When he went to the Hot Spring Pass, Leonidas had this idea, if he died, let Gou Ge find a good man to continue living, but the problem was that he was not dead, and Gou Ge ......

Wang Jun, who had nothing to do, threw out a blockbuster job: hurry up and clean up the traitors! For example, the priests.

This topic instantly attracted Leonidas's attention, and he put aside his personal affairs for a while.

This is the legendary "diversion target".

Regarding Gou Ge's obstruction, Wang Jun collected his intestines and scraped his stomach, and he didn't find a good trick; In this world, I can't find Du Niang, and I can't find a starting point for my aunt, so I have to use this method of treating the symptoms but not the root cause.

Keep Leonidas busy and find a place where he can vent his anger; In Wang Jun's point of view, give Leonidas and his family more time, Leonidas, or Gou Ge, may be enough to find a solution to the "problem"!

Sparta had a two-king system, with Leonidas in charge of the military and the other king, Pusanias, in charge of religious sacrifices; When Leonidas went on his march, the rest of the army was under the management of Psanias, and vice versa; As for the executive power and major matters of Sparta, it was decided by the Senate, and each of the two kings had a seat in the 30-member Senate, so they did not have much say in it.

Therefore, Wang Jun had a judgment earlier that this Leonidas was actually not too cool in Sparta.

Now on closer analysis, the dead Siran colluded with the Persians, bribed the priests, and had a close relationship with another king, Psanias; And Psanias now manages religious sacrifices, and has a close relationship with the priests, so it's no wonder that there is no problem here.

Whether there was a problem with Psanidas or not, it was important to Leonidas; But for Wang Jun, if there is a problem, we must find a way to clean it up; Not only that, but the power of the Senate, Wang Jun also hopes to be able to be compressed.

Why?

In the main quest, Wang Jun wants to protect Leonidas; Hidden mission, unify Greece.

Calculate it, let Leonidas gain more power, through the power of Sparta, unify Greece, this is a more reliable way.

With Leonidas' order, the entire Spartan barracks moved.

Soldiers of all ages, all of them were concentrated on the main training ground of the barracks, lined up in three neat and huge phalanxes; The fierce battles at Hot Springs Pass and Guyang Road have spread throughout the barracks with the returning warriors of Fassbinder; All the warriors looked at their supreme commander, Leonidas, and the little man who followed Leonidas, the king's army, with fiery eyes.

Leonidas was noticed because he was the boss of the army and brought only 299 Royal Guards soldiers to the Persians' disarray; And Wang Jun, a small man who is said to have come from Rome, has the strength of a violent bear, and has terrifying archery skills, and even the Persian emperor Xerxes was shot by him, and it is natural that he is concerned; The Spartans, who only admired warriors.

"For freedom, for Sparta; I led 299 warriors to fight bloody battles on the front line, and some of them have died honorably! Leonidas preached loudly.

"But when the warriors fought bloodily, in Sparta, there were traitors!" Leonidas's tone grew up.

"Shame! Shameful! "Whether it is an adult soldier, a 7-year-old child soldier, or a veteran soldier who is nearly 60 years old, shout in unison; Everyone knows very well about the Senate member Xi Lang.

"Moreover, there is more than one traitor! They, in high positions, actually betrayed us! At this, Leonidas gritted his teeth a little; If it weren't for these traitors, how could he only take 299 soldiers to Hot Springs Pass for a "walk"? How could his wife ......

"Find the traitor! Kill the traitor! "The huge phalanx of tens of thousands of people was silent for a few seconds, Leonidas's message was too fierce; When the soldiers came to their senses, they immediately sent out a tsunami-like echo of a landslide; In a high position? Xi Lang's status is high enough, if he kills, he will be killed, no matter how high his status is, he will be knocked down with one sword!

The Spartan warriors were not highly educated and did not like to speak at length; Eight simple words that speak their minds.

Next, Leonidas ordered all of his more than 30,000 underage soldiers and their instructors to remain in the barracks, and that no one should enter or leave without his own orders, not even another king and the senators; More than 10,000 adult soldiers, all of whom followed Leonidas out of the barracks.

Leonidas intended to divide his troops, but the king's army was resolutely opposed; The king's army was not worried that anyone would resist, but that after the division of the army, if there was no personal command from Leonidas, the troops would be fooled by those clever politicians, and the fun would be great. These more than 10,000 Spartan warriors are the essence of the whole Sparta, and the soldiers left in the barracks are either their elders or their descendants; Therefore, as long as they are led all the time, no matter what they do, the winner will be Leonidas.

At the first stop, the king's army and Leonidas directly surrounded the hill where the priests were; I don't know what these monsters think, they actually like to live on a straight and steep mountain, it's so inconvenient to go up and down, what do you want Persian gold coins for? Do you count the gold coins on the top of the mountain?

There was a hanging basket at the top of the mountain, but it was obviously the exclusive use of the priests, who were not so kind to put it down for Leonidas to use.

As a result, Wang Jun and Leonidas began a freehand climbing "competition", and Leonidas was much slower than Wang Jun's speed; Under the gaze of countless eyes, Wang Jun easily climbed the path on the cliff like a spirit monkey, which greatly admired the Spartan warriors. Leonidas, on the other hand, was more struggling, and there were several dangerous situations along the way, and the soldiers below were in a cold sweat; Wang Jun now has a strength of 26 and a agility of 27, and there are still 10.3 points that have not been added, while Leonidas's average surname is actually around 16 points, which is a big difference between Wang Jun, so it is too normal to lose to Wang Jun.

It was daylight, and there was so much movement below, that the priests had already noticed it; However, these people are not worried. They have always been high, and they never thought that anyone in Sparta would dare to attack them; The ugly and disgusting creatures muttered that Leonidas had come to ask for their consent to take the warriors below with him.

"Leonidas, what are you doing here?" The five priests looked at Leonidas with cloudy white eyes, and their attitude was very arrogant; In the words of the king's army, it is to pretend to be 13 in front of the king.

"You're still bringing outsiders with you! You are blasphemous! ”

Without waiting for Leonidas to reply, one of the leading priests pointed at the king with a sore finger and roared.

Wang Jun looked at them coldly, just this garbage, he actually sent 10 Spartan beauties to them every year!

According to the tattered rules of Sparta, non-Spartans were not allowed to enter the priests' dwellings or the temples where the priests were trained, let alone ascend to the altar; The five priests looked at Leonidas angrily, thinking about how to take advantage of the upcoming sacrifice to the sun god to depose him.

"Haha! What am I here for? Leonidas looked up to the sky and laughed, and the irrepressible anger in his heart exploded in this instant.

"I'm here to kill someone!" Leonidas roared madly, and stepped forward to the priest who was at the head with a big kick; The priest was defenseless, or in other words, defenseless; The priest, like a broken sack filled with some garbage, was stopped and folded at the waist, and his short and small body, covered with pus, flew straight out of the altar.

"Ah......h

Outside the altar was a cliff, and the priest, who thought he was still high, dragged a long and terrible howl, and fell directly off the high cliff; In the crowd of Spartan warriors below, "Bang! With a thud, it fell into a meatloaf.

After that, four figures flew down from the cliff in a row; In front of the Spartan warriors, there were again four more meatloafs.

Since they had besieged the priests' territory by order, all the warriors understood that the traitors to whom Leonidas was referring probably included the priests; Everyone is waiting...... But before the warriors could understand the situation, the king's roar came down from the cliff; After a few seconds, these priests, who everyone actually didn't like, fell down one by one, and all of them could not die anymore.

The priests, in Sparta, were higher than the king, higher than the councilors; A lot of people hate these monsters, but they can only talk about them in private.

Now, Leonidas dared to kill even the priests directly, so naturally he had his reasons; The Spartan warriors believed in Leonidas, and they waited silently below, waiting for him to come down and show evidence.

Why proof?

The rules of the law have been deeply ingrained in the hearts of every Spartan, and even if their commander, Leonidas, is believed, the warriors still need to be explained; Leonidas didn't kill a foreigner, he was killing a Spartan, and he was a priest of high status.

To kill a citizen of Sparta, it must be in accordance with the law, and there is nothing surprising that this is Sparta.

Not long after, the hanging basket was lowered on the cliff, and Fassbinder and other warriors immediately rushed up.

Outcry!

Gold! It's all gold!

A large amount of gold coins directly dazzled the eyes of the soldiers.

And the head of the Persian emperor on the gold coin, even if everyone had a hunch, still pierced the hearts of the warriors; It turns out that the people of Sparta have always worshiped with money and beautiful women, and they are such rotten goods!

"Traitor! Damn it! ”

Bursts of roars rang out, and with the evidence, the warriors let go of the last vestiges of fear in their hearts; Is the priest? As long as you dare to betray Sparta, you can really communicate with God, and you will still be cut to death.

Wang Jun was responsible for finding the belongings, and Leonidas was responsible for collecting the large hanging baskets, which were placed thirty-six times in all; As baskets of golden things were lowered down the cliff, the anger of the warriors below grew stronger; When they got to the back, even if the priests were all meatloaf, the warriors did not let go, and one by one they ran to the meatloaf and stomped their feet fiercely.

5 meatloafs, which ended up with a meat sauce.

Speaking of which, these priests are really not ordinary greed, and there are frightening amounts of gold coins and bars; Leonidas didn't know that the space ring of the king's army also contained a full 2 cubic meters of gold, that is, there were Persian gold coins and Spartan gold bars.

At the second stop, Leonidas had his warriors besiege the palace of another king, Psanias.

The architecture of the Spartans is really not very interesting, and the place where the king lived is really not very good, although it is also called the "royal palace", in fact, it is a two-story building, and the scale is not large, but the courtyard is relatively large.

"Leonidas! What do you want! ”

"And you, do you still have the laws of Sparta in your eyes?"

Psanias roared at Leonidas, all of the 299 Royal Guards who belonged to him were disarmed; And Psanias himself, now carrying only a Spartan dagger.

"Psanias, do you still have the face to ask? Traitor! ”

Leonidas slowly drew his short sword, since he was a traitor, then kill it; Without these traitors, his wife would not have been forced to do that.

"You're the traitors!" Psanias was furious and drew his short sword.

"Kill!"

Leonidas only wanted to vent now, as long as he was a traitor, he would kill him, no matter who he was.

"Kill!"

For survival, for pride, Psanias roared towards Leonidas.
