Chapter 593: I'd rather die than give in

Leonidas received military training from his father from the age of six, this is a glorious tradition of the Spartans, every Spartan has to train from an early age, if you starve, exhaust, freeze to death because of the cruel military training, it can only mean that you are not a qualified Spartan.

During his life, Leonidas experienced countless battles, and even in the face of the million-strong army of the Persian king Xerxes, he was never afraid. No matter how powerful the orangutan-like creature in front of him was, with the blessing of Joan of Arc's divine magic, Leonidas believed that he could defeat it.

However, Leonidas had been at a disadvantage in the battle with Van Skull, after all, the standard Spartan spear and round shield were broken and could no longer be used, and Leonidas now had only one short sword in his hand.

The hemlock stick, which was more than a foot long, swung as easily as a straw straw under Van Crusher's muscular knotted arms. The short sword in Leonidas' hand was completely unable to resist the whistling hemlock stick, so he could only predict with rich combat experience and use flexible body skills to dodge, occasionally taking advantage of Van Skull's return force to launch one or two attacks in time, but unfortunately Van Skull Crush was also experienced in a hundred battles, and Leonidas's counterattack had already been expected by it, and there was no way to pose any threat.

The battle between this man and beast is fierce but not lively, although the slightest mistake is the end of a broken tendon or a sharp sword piercing the heart, but the weapons of the two rarely exchange fires, and often the opponent has already made a counterattack or dodge reaction halfway through the move.

Van Skull was in no hurry to take out Leonidas, it just had to hold the human commander in tow and give its guards plenty of time to rescue as many of the distrained people as possible. But that doesn't mean it doesn't want to kill the human in front of it.

Whether it was Leonidas' outfit or his martial arts, Van Skull could tell that this human was obviously the leader of the human legion in front of him, and if he could kill or even capture him alive, it would be able to make the morale of this human legion plummet, and maybe even bring the remaining vassal races back from defeat to victory.

Although he was strong and burly, with strong muscles all over his body, and his strength was superior at first glance, Van Crush's mind was also very clear that he could become the patriarch of the ape clan. It's not that the apes don't know how to use intrigues, but they can crush their opponents with just a strong body, so most of the apes are not willing to bother to use their brains, but this does not mean that the apes are dull, on the contrary, the apes' minds are actually very smart, otherwise Van Skull would not have the ambition to challenge the lion clan's dominance.

In the course of the battle with Leonidas, Van Skull gradually figured out the path of the human in front of him. His attack likes to go straight and kill with one hit, his defense likes to attack the enemy's save, and he likes to attack instead of defend, and his feet are flexible, and he likes to adjust his offensive and defensive state at any time by moving his feet back and forth.

If the Tiger Clan or the Leopard Clan encounter such an opponent, I am afraid it will be a headache, but Fan Crushed Skull has some secret joy in his heart, this human combat method is aimed at the human race itself, but the physical fitness of the ape clan is far beyond the limit of human beings, this is his Achilles' heel. A smile appeared on Van Crush's scarred ape's face, which in Leonidas's eyes was clearly a look of intimidation.

In a swing of the bat, Van Skull deliberately used his strength slightly, and the hemlock rod was raised a little higher than usual. Leonidas on the opposite side was keenly aware of this, his eyes lit up, and he jumped forward with an arrow step, clinging to Van Skull's furry body, and the short sword in his hand quickly stabbed forward, wanting to strike before Van Skull's retraction action was completed.

Van Skull Crush hurriedly returned his hands to the stick and wanted to attack Leonidas with the tail of the stick, but this action was already in Leonidas's prediction, only to see him raise his left hand, accurately hold the end of the hemlock stick, and force his one hand to stop Van Crusher's counterattack, and at the same time, the right hand stabbed straight without stopping, directly taking Van Skull's side ribs.

In this set of actions, between the lightning and flint of the two hands, Leonidas and Van Crush's eyes occasionally touched, only to find that the other's bronze bell-sized eyes were full of ridicule and mockery.

Leonidas's mind suddenly flashed such a thought, but unfortunately it was too late at this time, in order to exert the maximum power of the short sword stab, he had already ventured into close proximity with Van Crush, and the tip of the short sword in his hand had even touched Van Crush's fur.

With a pop, the short sword pierced into Van Crush's side ribs with unmistakable accuracy, but the moment it entered the flesh, Leonidas's face changed, and from the touch of the short sword, he knew that although the short sword pierced into the opponent's body, its muscles actually clamped the tip of the sword firmly, and even if he tried harder, he couldn't stab the short sword forward.

At this time, Van Crusher's hands that were originally holding the hemlock stick had already loosened the stick, and his left hand grabbed Leonidas's right wrist like lightning and did not have time to retract it, while its right hand, which was the size of a fan, pressed on the top of Leonidas's head, pinched it with five fingers, and lifted Leonidas's whole person up under a strange force.

"Stupid fellow, the ape's body is not comparable to that of humans, and your martial arts are simply not capable of dealing with orcs!" Van Skull said to Leonidas with a mocking tone as he brought Leonidas to his eyes, while his left hand was forceful, breaking Leonidas' right hand holding the sword.

With a painful snort, Leonidas' eyes glared angrily at the cunning ape orc in front of him, he really didn't expect that this orc, who seemed to be vulgar and barbaric and no different from a group of beasts, would also be able to deceive, and he would be stupid enough to fall for it.

"Humble human, order your soldiers to lay down their weapons and accept the rule of the orcs, and I will mercifully forgive you and let you live!" Van Skull tried his best to persuade him to surrender calmly, but his ugly face made his words full of threat.

"The Spartans are never afraid of death! The Spartans are never afraid of battle! If you want the Spartans to lay down their arms and surrender on their knees, then there is only one answer: never!" Leonidas's bearded face was full of determination and death, and he answered Van Crush's persuasion with all his strength.
