Chapter 126: Three Thousand Warriors of Sparta [Four Changes!] 】
Someone below snickered, because many people saw the scene yesterday with their own eyes.
"If there are still people who don't know who Xerxes is, you can ask those who know, in short, he is now leading an army of 300,000 tribes, known as an army of millions, with the aim of killing all the Greeks, and of course the Spartans are among them! King Leonidas wanted to get the right to lead the army from the elders, but unfortunately the five elders had been bribed by the Persians with gold coins, and they had humiliated your king under the guise of a prophet! ”
"He's lying!" An elder who was kneeling on the ground could no longer hold back, and jumped out in front of the public and shouted, but he did not have a megaphone, his voice was not too loud, and not many people could hear him speak, but many people found the abscesses and pus all over the elder's body through the sun's rays.
No one will say it on their lips, but everyone will surely think in their hearts, is this our elder? That's it...... Guys like monsters?
This was exactly what Su Chen was aiming for, he wished that these elders were jumping up and down, but now was not the time.
Swish!
With a single sword, the elder who jumped out suddenly lost an arm, and his retort was replaced by a scream.
There was some commotion in the crowd, but thinking of Su Chen's accusation against these elders just now, the Spartans temporarily accused the spartans.
"Look at these!" Su Chen picked up a large package and dumped it on the ground in front of everyone, "It's all gold coins brought by the Persians, and Councilor Theron is responsible for introducing them to bribe the five elders!" If anyone doesn't believe me, stop by and see that all of these coins have Xerxes' head engraved on them! ”
Bang bang bang!
In the sunlight. The light reflected by the gold coin is clearly visible. There was another commotion in the crowd.
But this time. The target of the commotion shifted from Su Chen to the elders.
Even the Spartans, no matter how simple, understood what so many gold coins with Xerxes' head meant.
If they had just put all their anger on Su Chen, then now, the Spartans had at least begun to calm down and think about it, wondering how true what Su Chen said.
"Guys, I don't need you to believe me, but you should trust your king! King Leonidas was unable to change this qiē because of the restrictions of Spartan law. So he decided to take only his own 300-man guard with him. Three hundred against three hundred thousand! This is the law of Sparta? No! This is just shit! ”
Su Chen roared loudly, openly trampling on the hearts of every Spartan, "What can you do? What do you want to do? Do you have to watch the king die for you before you come to your senses? You also deserve to be called Spartans? No, the Spartans in my eyes are dead! This nation has been bewitched by some monsters, obscured by lies and deception, ignored by a bunch of rotten parliamentarians! You Spartans, you are hopeless! ”
All the Spartans present were dumbfounded, but the anger in the Spartans' eyes could almost burn Su Chen to ashes!
Success provoked the wrath of the Spartans. Su Chen immediately shifted his target, and he pointed at the four elders. "It's you!" What qualifications do four monsters who dare not appear in the sun be called elders? Just for a few gold coins, you don't hesitate to sell your country and nation, you don't deserve to be admired by the Spartans at all! Let the most beautiful maiden of Sparta act as your catharsis. The instrument of desire, let lies and deception be your excuse to humiliate the king, and let the ugly and insidious curse you into monsters! ”
The four old monsters were already panicked at this time, and if their ugly side was really exposed in public, their fate could only be miserable.
"He's lying! He is...... Yes! ”
Su Chen shook his hand, and the black blood at the tip of the knife was thrown out, "Before you speak, just kneel here for me honestly!" ”
After scolding the Spartans and the elders, Su Chen turned his target to the prophet who was still bleeding from the nose, because he had just shot a little hard, and the bridge of the prophet's nose seemed to be broken.
"You, the most silent prophet, tell me how these old monsters have treated you, and the identity of your predecessors, including these women, say it out loud in front of the Spartans! If you try to get away with pretending to be a god, maybe the Spartans will believe you, but I won't! ”
The implication is that if you dare to talk nonsense, beware of Lao Tzu repairing you!
The prophet has long lost her previous sense of superiority at this time, she is a prophet on the surface, but she is a puppet in her bones, this has not changed because of her identity, and she saw that the elder sacrifice was cut off by Su Chen's arm with a knife, to say that she is not timid at all, unless she is really possessed by the gods.
So under Su Chen's gaze like a knife, with the help of a megaphone, the prophet's voice resounded throughout the audience.
The Prophet is just a doll of the elders and sacrifices. Looking for tools?
Was this true of prophets throughout the ages?
If you get tired of being played, you will be thrown off the temple mountain?
These girls with different appearances, at a glance, you can tell that they are not Spartans, but all of them are "new prophets" who were presented by Persians to the elders?
"Kill them!"
Finally, someone in the crowd could no longer control their anger, which was equivalent to the collapse of spiritual sustenance, and the Spartans were almost going crazy!
"Yes, kill them!"
"Kill these monsters!"
"Spartans, no one is above the law, and neither can the elders!"
"Kill these bastards! Kill Theron! ”
"Kill!"
The shouts of killing rang out, and the four elders knelt on the ground, trembling all over, but they knew in their hearts that they were gone.
"Sorry, I'm not a Spartan!" Su Chen smiled secretly in his heart, it seemed that he could retire after success, and now he only needed Leonidas to be a ......
"The king is coming!"
"His Majesty Leonida!"
"It's Theron, he's been captured by the King!"
"Look at that black man, he's not a Spartan, he's definitely a Persian!"
"Your Majesty, kill them, we are willing to go with you!"
……
Just when Su Chen was imagining, the belated Leonidas finally appeared, believing that the bearded king must have deliberately come one step late.
The crowd was quickly split in two, with Leonidas and Queen Goorgor leading in front, and the guards escorting Councillor Theron and the Persians at the rear.
At this moment, Leonidas' prestige in the hearts of the Spartans climbed to its peak!
If you judge by the number of games, the bearded king's current public opinion support and sense of territorial belonging are all above 99, which is infinitely close to the full value!
Su Chen knew in his heart that his mission had been completed, and if he continued to stay, it would be really annoying, so after Leonidas came over, he immediately put the megaphone in the king's hand.
Leonidas had long been curious about this thing, and he could hear Su Chen's roar from a distance, which sounded quite emotional.
At this moment, his first thought was not to shout to his subjects, but to ponder and study how the megaphone amplifies the sound!
I have to say that the bearded king is actually quite funny sometimes......
Unlike Su Chen, Leonidas' appearance completely extinguished the illusions in the hearts of several elder sacrifices, and his prestige was not a second thought in the minds of the Spartans, and he was only because he didn't want to destroy the laws and national dignity of Sparta, so he would accommodate them in every way.
But now after Su Chen's toss, dignity and everything is all shit, so it's better to find a way to improve the morale of the Spartans first.
"Citizens! I am your king, Leonidas! Today, I stand here and declare one thing to you - no matter how many people vote against it, I will lead the Spartans to fight the Persian invaders to the death! If someone backs down, I allow him to stay at home, but I'll fight! Whether the Persians have an army of a million or 300,000, I will lead the Spartans to meet them! The Spartans never asked how many enemies there were, only where they were! Sparta - Woo! ”
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
"Whew!"
……
The scene was thunderous, and all the Spartans collectively chanted!
Leonidas's manifesto was very encouraging, and perhaps he was not very eloquent and could not speak as well as the Lotus Flower, but he was able to express his attitude in the simplest and most direct language.
Su Chen did not attend the upcoming trial because he did not want to provoke the sensitive nerves of the Spartans - after all, it was he who uncovered the abscess on the body of the Spartan people, and the Spartans might be grateful to him for squeezing out the pus in the future, but not now.
In the face of conclusive evidence, the fate of Theron and the four elders was self-evident, and even the prophet could not escape, just in accordance with Su Chen's previous prediction to her - doomed to be doomed!
As for the elder sacrifice who had Su Chen's head cut off, whether it was King Leonidas or the members of the parliament, everyone chose to ignore it.
It's all dead anyway, and it doesn't seem to matter who killed it or how it died.
The punishment of Sparta was also very severe, and Theron, as a high-ranking Spartan leader, was willing to act as a lackey and traitor of the Persians, and such a heinous act also attracted him to be burned at the stake - directly burned to death with flames.
The four elders are in a good fate, after all, they have a special status, even if they want to be executed, they can't be allowed to die too ugly, otherwise the Spartans will be disgraced, and the council finally decided to let them suffocate to death, which is considered to be a whole corpse.
Of course, the arms that were cut off by Su Chen were also put together one by one after the death of several elders.
The most ordinary death of the prophet was directly cut off by his head.
As soon as the execution was over, the expedition of the Spartan army was also on the agenda.
Since Sparta was not a gathering place, and there were many warriors scattered all over the place, and it would take some time to gather them, so King Leonidas decided to take the 3,000 warriors existing in the territory first, and the rest could arrive later.
This expedition is not as simple and trouble-free as in the movie, 3,000 people are lined up, and you can't even see the end at a glance, which is far from being comparable to 300 people, and the preparation before the expedition is also a lot more cumbersome. (To be continued......)
PS: There's one last more, but I'm hungry, so I'll eat first and then come back to codeword!
