Chapter 389: Helen?
"You don't know what kind of character she has, it's like you owe her money all day...... Ahem, anyway, it's still so cold. But when she heard that you were all right, she was relieved. Castor said.
Su Ye nodded.
"We can see today which one is more stupid, the Persian aristocracy or the Athenian aristocracy."
Su Ye looked at the sky in the direction of the Marathon Plain.
"Would you like to hire a golden mage to use the Eye of Watch, and then use the Visioning Technique?" Kastor.
"Can it work?" Su Ye asked.
"Anyway, I'm also a member of the demigod family, and no one will give me this face! I'm going to borrow a golden magician who is resting. Kastor finished and left.
After more than half an hour, Castor returned with an elderly mage wearing a golden oak badge on his left chest.
The old mage looked kind, and Castor's expression was a little gloomy, obviously things didn't go as smoothly as expected, but they still succeeded.
"This is Master Antoine, and he's willing to help us watch the battlefield."
The two sides exchanged simple greetings, and Antoine cast a spell.
In the dark blue magic array, a fist-sized eye appeared, the whole body was white, and then, a black pupil slowly appeared on it.
Even the well-informed Spartan warriors felt strange at the sight of this eyeball.
The Eye of Observation slowly rose and soon flew above the fortress.
Antoine said: "I am just a golden mage, and I will remain motionless after turning the Eye of Observation into water, and I ask you to protect me." ”
"Use this, a little thing from someone else." Castor casually took out a palm-sized silver water cup from the Space Ring, which was carved with intricate patterns and inlaid with gems of different colors, which looked like the utensils of a wealthy Persian.
"It turned out to be the cup of vision, and it saved me a lot of magic."
Antoine said, using magic to connect the cup of manifestation to the eye of watching.
I saw that in the empty silver and gem cup, there was more transparent water out of thin air, and the water became more and more, and finally it gushed out of the mouth of the cup, and instead of flowing downward, it continued to surge upward.
Eventually, a large curtain of water with a side length of about two meters was formed.
Slowly, the gems on the surface of the cup of manifestation glowed differently, and many points of light appeared in the transparent water curtain.
After a while, those points of light condensed, and soon the scene of the battlefield of the Marathon Plains emerged.
The light brown earth is dotted with messy green grass, with occasional red and black colors.
On the land, the Persian and Greek armies were close to each other.
There was no sound above the water curtain, but the battle on the ground was clearly visible, exactly the same as if it were viewed from the sky.
The Spartan warriors watched curiously.
"I didn't expect it to be so clear."
"I can see even the most basic movements."
"Magic is amazing."
Su Ye, Commodus, and Castor looked calm, compared to their own eyesight, this kind of water curtain was too blurry.
"Now it looks like the two sides are evenly matched. In other words, the lethality is superior to us Greeks, and the Persians have far more deaths than we Greeks. However, in terms of the proportion of dead and wounded, the two sides are actually about the same. Actually, we Greeks suffered a small loss. ”
Kastor sighed and said, "The number of dead people is the same, and the Persians don't really care, because they are basically one in some way. On the Greek side, on the other hand, each city-state was an independent state, and any single city-state would lose too much of it, causing the entire city-state to be suspicious of other city-states and give up all their efforts. Thankfully, though, we have a common deity. ”
"But our gods are not united." A Spartan warrior muttered quietly.
"Ulak, what do you think of the current situation?" Kastor suddenly called out Su Ye's fake name, and the others nodded slightly, realizing that Casor was reminding everyone not to leak their mouths in front of outsiders.
Su Ye thought for a while and said, "Our water curtain can only see the fiercest battlefield, but the core of the Battle of Marathon is neither on the battlefield nor in the Marathon Fortress, but in the Persian camp. ”
"Insightful." The golden mage Antoine immediately adjusted the angle of the Watching Eye, which quickly looked at the Persian camp and quickly zoomed in on the frame.
Su Ye carefully observed the expressions of the Persians, and several high-ranking people looked up at the eyes of the watchers, and then smiled slightly, not caring.
Su Ye's gaze observed everywhere in the water curtain, and his complexion became worse and worse.
"Did you find anything?" Commodus asked.
"I felt something was wrong, but I couldn't say it." Castor tract.
Su Ye glanced at Antoine and did not speak.
Antoine smiled, "I followed General Mithiades for fifteen years, and I was promoted from bronze mage to gold. ”
"General Fast assigned him." Castor tract.
Su Ye nodded and said, "The first thing I paid attention to was the demeanor and subtle expressions of the Persian generals, which was very wrong. It wasn't like what it should look like after two major defeats and three days of siege, unless the Persian generals, the Golden Warriors, and the Golden Mages, all of them were well versed in ...... I'll call it 'expression management' for now. ”
"I kind of see what you mean, it's an interesting word." Antoine's eyes lit up.
"Sure enough, I said that I always felt that there was something wrong, but it was your careful observation. As soon as you say this, I understand that the expression is a reaction to the state of mind, and they are so relaxed that they will not just think that they can defeat us, but they may win big. However, on the surface, they have no means to win, so it can only be that there is something hidden behind it. Castor said.
The Spartan warriors were surprised, were they bragging or were they talking seriously? So much to see just by looking at the enemy's expression?
Commodus asked, "Can the nobles see it?" ”
"If they lose in a row, it is very likely that they will be able to see it, but ...... They have experienced successive Persian illusions of victory, and have been rewarded by the Ares of War in succession, do you think they will carefully analyze the details of the Persian generals like us? Su Ye asked.
"Alas......" Chromides sighed softly.
"I really didn't expect such a gifted, strategic and even human heart magician among you Spartans. Interested in joining Athens? I can escort you to Plato's Academy. ”
Su Ye was silent.
The Spartan warriors had a strange expression.
"Ulak, do you find anything else?" Castor diverted the topic to ease the awkward scene.
"They...... An ambush was prepared. If you look closely, you will find that in the Persian camp, the doors of the tents and magic houses near our direction are closed, but the doors of the camp tents and magic houses in the distance are open and closed, which is very natural. I remember that the other day, the doors of the tents and the magic houses in those places were not closed uniformly, and it was clear that there was something hidden inside. Moreover, the road leading from the tent houses to the outside had been cleared, and there were hardly any Persians walking around there, which was completely different from the clutter of other places. Su Ye said.
Only then did everyone pay attention to the details of the Persian camp and suddenly realized.
"However, those ambushes are not for sneak attacks, nor do they look like they are for pursuit. The Persian battalion was far away from the center of the battlefield and could not be attacked, and even if it was won, it could not be pursued, so there were only two possibilities. One is mass transmission, and it is clear that Persia cannot afford such a high cost. Another possibility, I think you should have guessed. ”
After Su Ye finished speaking, those ordinary Spartan warriors looked dazed, what do you mean?
However, a handful of Spartan warriors and Antoine nodded slightly.
"It seems that Persia will lead our men to the big camp, such as deceit, and then attack. But, I always feel like there's something missing. Castor said.
"The worse is where their determination comes from. That's the source of our strangeness, and if we can find the source of their faith, it will all work out. Su Ye said.
The water curtain slowly changes, and the perspective shifts to the sea.
A large number of Persian warships were neatly arranged, and the Persian navy on them was in full array.
"Did the Persian navy strike?" Commodus asked.
"Just look at the waterline, those ships are no different from before, which means that there will be no ambush or other forces hiding on the ships. Compared to the formation of the previous days, the Persian fleet has not changed much. There was also the placement of the ship's equipment, and there was no preparation for landing. If you look closely, you will find that the battle on the Marathon Plain is in full swing, and the lookouts of the Persian navy rarely look at the Marathon Plain, and keep looking south, obviously still guarding against the Greek navy, which shows that today's battle has little to do with the Persian navy. Of course, there are no absolutes, just a small possibility. Su Ye said.
Commodus looked ashamed, the Spartan warriors were covered with cold sweat, it had been so many days of fighting, and he didn't even pay attention to such a key detail as the waterline, this Su Ye was good, not only paid attention, but also remembered it all the time, and used it.
"Amazing magicians and Spartans, if you can join the Athenian military, you will become the first magician general in Athens, or even a magician general! The real power of the general! Antoine's eyes flashed with brilliance.
"Alas......" Kastor looked at Su Ye and let out a long sigh.
Antoine didn't know what he was sighing about, but the Spartans knew.
Everyone continued to chat, and suddenly, Castor stretched out his right hand, which was as white as jade, grabbed Su Ye's wrist, walked into the room, and then motioned to Su Ye.
Su Ye took out the cage of blockade, isolated the inside and outside, and looked at the young man suspiciously.
"Are you interested in entering the demigod family?" Kastor stared into Su Ye's eyes.
"Huh?"
"If you want to seek greater development, Athens is no longer possible, you have offended too many Athenian nobles, even if the Pandeon family tried to protect it, it may not be useful. What's more, in the future, there will be a battle between the Athenian nobility and Plato's Academy, and behind the nobility are the gods, and Plato's Academy will inevitably lose. Even if Socrates once killed the gods. Casto's eyes sparkled.
"Go on." Su Ye vaguely guessed Kastor's purpose.
"Do you want to marry the princess of the demigod family as a wife? Don't think about it, Palos, she's unmarried! My sister Helen is prettier than her! ”
Castor's voice was like the temptation of the devil.
Su Ye's eyes were full of doubts.
Helen? The first beauty of Greece that even the goddess of beauty Venus is jealous of?
No, the point is, Palos is unmarried?
