Chapter 813: The First Day of the Great War
Just as Chen Yihan was thinking this, Leonidas waved at the centurion, "You go to the Phosians and let them garrison that path." ”
When the centurion heard Leonidas say this, he saluted him respectfully, and then left.
Leonidas saw the centurion walk away, and leaned down to Ephiati's side, and then whispered, "Ephiati, are you able to fight?" ”
"No problem! 陛xià. ”
Ephiati said as she stabbed the halberd out of her hand. With this assassination, there was a buzzing sound from the tip of the halberd. Obviously, his strength was so great that even Chen Yihan was shocked.
Leonidas nodded in satisfaction when he saw Ephiati's actions.
After that, his eyes were on Efati. Although Ephiati has one big eye and one small eye, a rickety body, and a big bulge on her back, it doesn't matter! If Ephiati could raise his shield and fight with the other Spartan soldiers, he could keep him.
Leonidas thought so in his heart, and straightened his body.
After that, he said in a high-pitched tone, "Then can you lift the shield?" Let it protect the place between your shoulders and thighs. ”
"I can do it!" Ephiati gritted her teeth and agreed to Leonidas's words. At the same time, his figure straightened as best he could. It's a pity that his left arm was born deformed, and it is not as powerful as his right arm at all. As a result, there was no way for his left arm to lift the shield at all.
Leonidas watched as Ephiati struggled, and finally could only shake his head helplessly.
Subsequently. He said in a low tone, "Enough, Ephiati! You've worked hard. It's just that. Our Spartan tactics are all about helping to defend, and it's hard to protect yourself and your teammates like you are now. In that case, I can't let you into battle. However, if you are willing to stay, I can let you do the field care work. ”
Efati listened to Leonidas's response, and her eyes glazed over. The whole person was also stunned.
Leonidas saw Ephiati's expression and obviously didn't want to talk to him any more. With that, he got up and left silently.
Efati listened to Leonidas's footsteps and walked away. His face changed to a look of despair. Then he cried out in despair and turned his gaze to the other side of the sea. But before he threw away the halberd and shield in his hand, Chen Yihan walked over and grabbed his arm tightly. "Brother. Actually, you still have a chance! ”
"Ding...... You have triggered the Hidden Mission: The Fate of Ephiati. Rewards: 3,000 main god points, one A-level skill; 3000 main god points will be deducted for mission failure, and those who are not enough main god points will be wiped out! ”
Chen Yihan didn't expect that the main god would also set a task here.
He had already had the idea to change the plot when he stopped Ephiati just now. After all, if he was able to prevent Ephia from mentioning the Persian military camp, it would only be good for the Greek camp, not bad. Not only that, but it will also make their campaign to defend Thermopylae a little easier. At least he didn't have to think about enemies sneaking up from behind.
In this case, there was no need for him not to help Ephiati. What about fulfilling his wish?
"Who are you? How are you going to help me? Efiyati tilted her body, stared at Chen Yihan with misaligned eyes, and asked in a low voice.
"My name is Chen Yihan. From the distant Xia Kingdom! Like you, I came here to help Leonidas fight. In the same way, I don't use a large shield, and I can't join the Spartan battle array. If you're willing to stay with me, I can let you fight with me. Chen Yihan replied calmly.
"Good! I listen to you. As long as I can kill the Persians, I will listen to you. I must let Leonidas, and the rest of the Spartans, know that I, Ephiatis, am not a disgrace to the Spartans! I can fight, and I can kill enemies on the battlefield! ”
"It's enough for you to have such determination, Ephiati."
Chen Yihan said as he put his hand on Efati's shoulder and patted it lightly a few times. Truth be told, if it weren't for the Spartan uniform worn by Ephiati, he would have thought he was standing with the Licker.
When Chen Yihan took Ephia to present in front of Lie and the Cheap Wolf, the Mean Wolf even said something like this, "Hey! Brother Han, are you next to your new pet? How do I think he's more ugly than a little lick! Could it be that this is a new species developed by Xiaohong? ”
"Holy! If you don't speak, can I take you for a dumb person? ”
"Nothing! I knew what weird I had become. As long as I can fight, I can prove myself, I don't care. Efati replied in a unique hoarse voice.
Chen Yihan took a deep breath when he heard Ephiati say this, and introduced him to Lie and Cheap Wolf. After that, he also introduced the two of them to Efati. At that moment, there was a sound of the earth shaking, and the ground under their feet trembled slightly.
"What's going on? Could it be an earthquake? The cheap wolf felt the shaking of the earth and couldn't help but ask.
"Nope! This is the Persians attacking us. Ephiati replied in a low voice.
"Alright! Let's go to the front. Let's see how Leonidas and his men fended off the first wave of the Persian attack. Chen Yihan said as he took out the Dragon Soul Knife from the Order of the Main God. At the same time, Lie took the Ghost Blade and the Cheap Wolf held the Dark Staff in his hand.
Seeing the weapons in the hands of the three of them, Efati's mood was indeed much calmer.
He found that following Chen Yihan and the others would be useful. At least they didn't need to form a Spartan phalanx and then fight the enemy.
When Chen Yihan stood behind the low wall, Leonidas had already led the Spartans to guard the bottom of the wall. At this moment, they were holding shields in their left hands and halberds in their right hands against the wall. Obviously, as soon as the Persians entered their defenses, they were ready to attack.
In the distance, the Persians were marching forward in a single formation.
They held a scimitar in one hand and a crescent-shaped curved shield in the other. At the same time, they wore the robes of the Persian nation and hid their faces.
In their ranks, several tall horses were wrapped in them. On one of the horses sat a handsome commander.
When the Persian ranks marched more than a hundred meters from the low wall, the commander raised his arms high. It seems that he still wants to call out to the Spartans behind the low wall, and make one last effort to persuade them to surrender. But at this moment, a Spartan warrior suddenly appeared on top of the low wall! Immediately, the halberd in his hand was thrown out.
Under the blow of the halberd, the commander of the Persians fell from his horse with just a flicker. Seeing that the Spartans had killed their general, the Persian soldiers did not retreat, but rushed forward with a cry. After that, their army swooped down on the low wall like mad beasts.
At this time, although the Spartans were separated from the Persians by a wall, they did not panic or rush to attack. At this moment, they were still leaning their bodies against the low wall according to Leonidas's deployment, and were waiting for his orders.
"We rush! Rush up. These Greek killed our general. ”
The Persian soldiers shouted as they erected a human ladder outside the wall. In a matter of moments, some of them climbed to the top of the low wall and prepared to climb over it.
"Spartan warrior! Knock down low walls. ”
At this moment, a high-pitched and powerful command came out of Leonidas's mouth. At his voice, the Spartans, who were close to the wall, put their arms against the great shield and pushed the low wall towards the Persians. At the same time, the Spartans, who were in the second row, pointed their halberds at the Persians at the wall.
Under the push and assassination of the Spartans, the first wave of the Persian offensive was broken down as the low wall fell to the ground. But after that, the follow-up troops of the Persians did not retreat, but still rushed forward.
"Gun array!" Leonidas's voice spoke again.
The Spartans, who were assassinating the Persians, immediately shrank back at his command. After this, the Spartan, who was in the first row, raised his shield flat on the ground and raised his halberd flush outward. Then, the Spartans in the second row put their halberds lightly on the shoulders of the people in the first row. At this time, the Spartans in the third row drew the dagger that the shield carried with him and prepared to stab forward.
"Rush! Kill all these Greeks. ”
When the Persians saw the Spartans retreating, they roared and rushed forward. As a valiant and warlike people, they could not abandon the attack on the Spartans because of this little loss in front of them.
But when the soldiers of both sides crowded together, the Persians in the first row were stabbed to death by the Spartans at that time. However, these dead Persians did not even have a chance to fall to the ground, and they were squeezed into meatloaf at that time under the crowding of soldiers on both sides.
At the same time, the Spartan warriors in the second row stabbed the halberd forward. In this way, the Persians who were pushing the corpses were killed and wounded again.
"Pikemen! Let the pikemen come to the front...... Ah......h
By the time the Persians woke up and shouted loudly, the Spartan queue had moved backwards. When they threw the Persian, who had fallen to the ground on the shield, they cried out in high spirits. At the same time, their pace moved forward again with the shouting.
"Run! We stepped back and let the pikemen come to the front. ”
The Persians, dodging the ranks of the Spartans, shouted and retreated. After that, their people collided and blocked the narrow gorge in front of the hot spring pass. The Spartans, under the command of Leonidas, then rushed forward and stabbed the Persians who were close to them...... (To be continued......)
