Chapter 81: The Dilemma

Although the cliff in the southern part of Onsen Seki is only a few tens of meters high, it is not easy to climb to it, and there is only one path that can be passed.

Anyone wishing to climb the cliff must first pass through the canyon at the middle gate to the southern exit of the canyon, where the entrance to this narrow trail winds its way up the steep slope.

The top of the cliff was bare, full of stones, no grass, rolling wood and firewood, all of which had been chopped down by the people before, and then carried up the mountain.

Because the mountain is steep and the road is difficult to navigate, dozens of migrant workers carried the rolling wood and firewood to the top of the mountain for two whole days, but it only took half an hour to throw them away.

And these pieces of wood are not cut and can be used, they must be cut and then exposed to the sun for a few days before they can burn.

In order to get the wood up the mountain, in the end only dozens of migrant workers could only be pulled out of the construction site to carry it, due to the serious shortage of manpower, has seriously affected the progress of the construction of the fortifications, if there are no accidents, this method of using the fire to block the road, will certainly not be able to be replicated in a few days.

The fires could stop the Persian army from advancing, but it could not stop them from firing their bows and arrows.

As soon as the dozens of laborers began to cast the first rolling logs, the Persian commander immediately ordered the archers to assemble, and at the beginning of the fire, the Persian archers were already lined up outside the west gate.

I saw that they took out their arrows and put them on the bowstring, and then neatly raised the strong bow in their hands, and experienced people will find that they raised the angle much higher than usual.

"Not good! Come on! The Persians are going to shoot us! John was the first to notice that something was wrong, exclaimed, and turned to run.

No one in the reincarnation team doubted John's judgment, and they immediately hugged their heads and ran away.

At the command of the Persian commander, countless arrows began to be thrown into the sky, and then rained down on the top of the cliff.

Just a wave of arrows shot and killed dozens of unsuspecting migrant workers, and none of them escaped with their lives.

The people of the reincarnation team ran faster because of their high vigilance, and they could escape with their lives, but everyone was frightened, and if they were slow just now, they would have to add themselves to the dead......

Today is a bloody day, although the Persians suffered heavy casualties, but after more than ten hours of non-stop attack, the Spartans also suffered many casualties, and even civilian workers suffered casualties for the first time.

This was only the third day that the Persian army had begun their assault on Thermopyla, although the fire would have bought everyone a night and dragged the defense until the fourth.

But what about tomorrow after dawn, after this fire is extinguished? What to do?

Of the 300 warriors of Sparta, less than half of them can still go to the battlefield, let alone defend for another month, it is already a miracle to be able to hold for seven days.

In particular, the accidental death of dozens of migrant workers has led to a serious shortage of manpower to do the work, and the progress of the project will naturally be affected.

Faced with this dilemma, everyone in the reincarnation team naturally had to discuss solutions.

"Liu Ping, it can't go on like this, the casualties are too heavy, according to the intensity of the Persian army's attack, in just two days, the Spartans will have to die, don't you have any other way? Ah, tap, it hurts! ”

Wang Dahai sat in the corner of the tent, Zhengping stretched out his hands to let Jun Ningxiang give him medicine, and when he jumped off the cliff, in order to slow down the fall, he inserted his claws into the stone wall, causing ten fingers to be seriously injured.

"What to shout, now I know it hurts! Tell you to be strong! Just jumped off like that, and deserved it! Although Jun Ningxiang said unceremoniously, the movements in his hands were much lighter.

"Hey, hey! For you, what is this injury? No matter how important it is, it's worth it! ”

"Humph! What does this have to do with me, don't talk nonsense! ”

"Isn't it! You can't afford to pay off! I said it before! All I have to do is jump and you'll be my girlfriend. ”

"I just said I promised you one request!"

"Then my request is for you to be my girlfriend!"

Jun Ningxiang suddenly blushed with shame, and kicked Wang Dahai fiercely.

"Okay, can you two pay attention to the influence, everyone is here!" Wu Yun finally couldn't stand it anymore, and opened his mouth to remind the two.

Liu Ping also looked at Wei Xuan at this time: "Wei Xuan, I don't have any good way, what about you?" Do you have any good suggestions? ”

Wei Xuan spread his hands: "If the number of workers is enough to complete the fortifications, there is still hope, otherwise I can't do anything?" ”

Wang Dahai sighed: "Tomorrow is only the fourth day, as long as the Persian army can maintain today's offensive intensity, how can we hold the remaining three days." People, after all, there are still too few of us, and there are no villages and towns around here, where can we find people? ”

Wei Xuan helped his glasses: "It's not difficult to want manpower, compared to the current predicament, in fact, I am more concerned about the situation of those newcomers in the rear, I have always been very strange, why haven't those newcomers appeared until now, aren't they afraid of being wiped out by the main god?" ”

Wang Dahai: "That's right! If you don't say that I forgot about them, it's really strange, what are those newcomers doing! It's been so many days, and I haven't even seen a shadow. ”

Wu Yun frowned: "Indeed, tomorrow will be the fourth day, the task of the main god, but at least to help the Spartans to hold the hot spring pass for seven days, if they don't show up again, even if we keep it for seven days, they will still be unable to escape death, because they have never helped the Spartans at all, and once the hot spring pass is broken, they will be wiped out directly." ”

Jun Ningxiang said hesitantly: "But this sentence in the mission may also mean that as long as you have guarded for seven days, everyone will not be wiped out." ”

Liu Ping shook his head: "Impossible, the Lord God will never allow adventurers to be opportunistic like this, this is contrary to his purpose, if you don't do anything, you will inevitably be wiped out!" ”

Poker smiled coldly on the side: "Hmph, whatever they do, they will die!" Since they have chosen this heavenly path, they will have to bear the corresponding consequences. ”

Wei Xuan: "Naturally, I don't care about their lives or deaths, what I care about is how many migrant workers they can bring?!" ”

"Migrant workers?!" ……

Note: I'm sorry, I took my parents to the event during the Chung Yeung Festival today, so I'll update these today and make up tomorrow
