Chapter 370: Waiting for You to Come Back
The sun in the east seemed to be the point of separation between the deep blue sea and the light blue sky, and under the sun, two completely disproportionate armies looked at each other from afar.
On one side there were 120,000 large phalanxes, plus 3,000 undead legions.
There were only 25,000 people on one side, and the Chinese army was even less than 10,000.
Looking at the opposite formation, one party's heart is like fire, and the other's heart is like ice.
Su Ye saw that most of the Persians on the opposite side were smiling, even those ragged temporary light infantry, who couldn't even hold their spears steadily, still carried the arrogance of a great power.
The mages who were behind the warriors laughed even more, and it was destined to be a one-sided slaughter like the battle of Euboea.
Su Ye looked at the Greek coalition forces.
Except for a very small number of warriors with indifferent expressions, most of the warriors looked nervous, their palms were sweaty, and they kept releasing their spears to wipe their palms on their bodies.
There were also a few warriors with a look of despair on their faces, their faces turned pale and trembled slightly.
An old voice sounded from behind.
"I, Micyades, stand here for Greece, and will be here, to witness a miracle."
Su Ye looked back at the old man standing on the city wall.
The old man had gray hair, and unlike the Greeks, who had curly hair, he had a short inch of hair, and his hard white hair stood on end like silver needles.
At first glance, he looked like an ordinary old man with a round nose, but he was so tall that he stood there like a giant bear, so tall that he was even slightly hunched back.
The slight hunchback not only did not affect his momentum, but made him look like a fierce beast ready to pounce at any moment.
In his eyes, there seemed to be a frost and cold divine sword, and the sharp blade in his eyes pierced people's eyes.
"Last year, I knew they were going to land in the marathon! I personally liaised with the city-states, and in the end, the city-states agreed to send troops against Persia. And today, as I said last year, I, Mi-Te-ades, will stake the glory of the past and the life of the future to direct this battle. Reinforcements are pouring in from all over Greece. We just need to hold on for one day, only one day, the first reinforcements will arrive, and the next day, more reinforcements will appear. β
"Behind us, not only the Marathon fortress, but also the vast Greek farmland, and the villages and farmers, and our city-state, our families. I'm tired of the old woman at home now, who chatters all day long, always counts me down, and I sometimes even suspect that I was blind to marry him! If you have wives, do you think the same way? β
Many veterans burst into laughter.
"We don't dare say that in front of tens of thousands of people."
"No, you're the only one in all of Greece who thinks so!"
The nervous soldiers laughed.
Too-Thail's voice was heard through the army again.
"Not only does that old woman bore me, but my son is also an idiot. He's just a golden warrior I can pinch to death with one hand, and he's already married, and my grandchildren are taller than him, but he's still as stupid as he was back then! I asked him to stay in Athens honestly, this idiot, not only sneaked to the Marathon fortress behind my back, not only personally led the troops, but even, stood among you, stood in the middle of the army! β
The soldiers looked around.
Only a few recognized.
Su Ye searched for a long time, but he didn't find the son of General Mitaide.
However, it was as if something was ignited in my heart.
"My stupid son said that his third son had just been born, and that when he left Athens, the child did not even open his eyes. He said that he came here, he stood in the middle army, and he faced Persia with his chest, so that his children would at least live until the day when they opened their eyes and saw the Greek sun. β
The audience was silent.
"And I, very tired of the old woman at home, who was always nagging, always disgusted with me, but, when she sent me out, she didn't nag. Just like when I went to war for the first time after marriage, and every time I went out, she stood by the door and said to me, "Wait for me to go back." I don't know how many times she said it, and I forget how many times I heard it, but I can definitely hear her say to me next time, wait until I go back! You'll hear it! β
"I can't be at the front, but I'm going to be the last one to leave here! I, MitΓ©ades, look at each one of you, on each of your backs, and I see that on the shoulders of each and every one of you is the same as I am, carrying the family, carrying the city-state, carrying Greece! I'll watch you kill those dog monggrels, kill all the lowly Persians, and drive them into the Aegean Sea like rats! The gods are with us! β
"The gods are with us!"
"The gods are with us!"
β¦β¦
Su Ye shouted along.
Invisible but powerful forces stir in the armies.
"Greeks, never fear!"
Mityades shouted, and spun around and threw a dark golden spear in the direction of the Persian camp.
The spear tore through the sky, emitting a piercing roar, igniting the air, pulling the raging fire, turning into a ray of red light, like a meteor falling from the sky, and falling on the Persian camp.
In an instant, in the Persian camp, a spear with the same flame coil flew out of the ground and collided with Milyades' spear.
Rumble......
The flames and divine power of the sky bloomed like fireworks, and it happened to be in the sky above the Persian army.
The Persian army was in a panic, and the horses screamed in fright, or raised their front hooves to overturn the knights, or spun around the ground, or fled in all directions.
After the Greek army, the trumpets were melodious.
"Kill!"
The voice of Michayades spread throughout the plain of Marathon, and even seemed to spread throughout Greece.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
One Greek after another roared forward.
The three armies of Greece marched forward.
The Persian army quickly suppressed the chaos and turned on the Greek coalition.
Su Ye is in the middle of the army and keeps moving forward.
The captain of each hundred-man team, wearing a magic beard, constantly gave orders to his nearby men, and the ten or so squads followed closely under the command of the soldier leader.
Every thousand people converged into a corps, and the voice of the captain's magic beard was farther away.
The three armies on the left, the center and the right, each have a general who constantly gives orders to ensure that the army continues to advance.
In the beginning, the three armies were very dense, reminiscent of the battles when there were no magicians.
At that time, the Greek phalanx was the best in the world, and every warrior would stick close to his comrades, and each of them would use their left shield to protect their left half and protect the right half of their teammates' bodies.
So, the far right of each platoon, is always the best fighter in that platoon, because only their right half of their body does not have the shield of their teammates.
However, times are different.
After the phalanxes of various countries and city-states were used as live targets by magicians, the dense phalanx completely withdrew from the stage of history.
Su Ye saw as he walked forward that the three armies were slowly spreading out like ink falling into water, and every two soldiers had to keep a distance of at least two meters.
Even so, each squad, brigade or corps is still united by an invisible force.
The sound of dense footsteps, the sound of rubbing armor, the continuous orders of superiors, the subtle sound of panting, under the urging of the horn, like a torrent, kept moving forward, forward.
The Spartan warriors surrounded Su Ye in the middle, and the distance between everyone seemed to have been measured.
In the morning breeze, the dark red cloak fluttered gently.
The two sides are getting closer and closer, getting closer.
Su Ye felt that his heart began to beat faster, his breathing began to be heavy, and some parts of his body even went numb.
When the army of more than 100,000 was a number, Su Ye didn't feel it.
When an army of more than 100,000 rushed towards it, the body instinctively became vigilant.
Your opponent's number is only one-fifth of the opponent's.
Su Ye even felt that the magic power in the magic tower was flowing faster, and he was fully prepared, both physically and mentally.
Try to take a deep breath, stay calm, and soon, the faint panic in your heart dissipates and is replaced by an euphoria.
It's a feeling that can't be experienced in the gladiatorial arena.
In the ranks of tens of thousands, face hundreds of thousands of enemies.
I have become incomparably small, because I am only a part of the hundreds of thousands.
However, he became incomparably huge, because, at this moment, the three Greek armies were one.
Su Ye looked ahead, his right index finger and thumb lightly struck, and asked himself a basic Larkin question, what should I do most at this time?
The brain turns instinctively.
What is the strength of the king's army, how will they attack, what means should they use to hold them back, and how can they avoid being attacked by the king's army......
What about the undead, what about the magicians, how the crossbowmen fought, what about the spearmen......
After a brief consideration, Su Ye completely ignored the King's Army, focusing only on the Undead Army, the Mage, the Spearman, and the Crossbowman.
"The flying spears and crossbow arrows are yours." Su Ye Dao.
"Respect, General." Commodus stepped forward and stood in front of Su Ye, always keeping a distance of one and a half meters from Su Ye.
No matter whether Su Ye speeds up or slows down, Coconut can change accordingly, and now even if Su Ye deliberately wants to catch up with Cockodes, it will be difficult.
Even if the two sides are so close.
"You move a little to the right, blocking my view." Su Ye said as he moved forward.
Commodus immediately moved to the right, and Su Ye could see straight ahead.
The two sides got closer and closer, and when they could see each other's faces clearly, both sides slowed down.
The magicians chanted incantations, and the light of magic shimmered in the ranks of archers on both sides.
A light breeze blew across a large area, and a pale cyan glow appeared on the magic bows of the archers, and the power of the bow of the long wind made the bows fly faster, farther, and more powerful.
Then, a wide range of wind magic swept by, and the power of the guiding arrows allowed everyone to send arrows with a certain ability to guide and hit enemies more accurately.
Then, a sonorous metal clash resounded across the battlefield, and all bows were attached to the power of metallic brilliance, and each arrow became sharper.
The Golden Mages, who specialize in battlefield spells, multiply the lethality of every ordinary archer.
Su Ye was not idle, and successively applied protective magic to everyone in the Spartan team.
Every Spartan warrior could feel the powerful protective power and his heart was filled with gratitude.
After adding protection magic to all the protective spells, Su Ye also applied a rock shield to himself, and the rock shield, which was mostly half a person tall, hovered in front of him, moving as he moved.
