Chapter 585: Su Ye and Hope
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the soldiers of the Protectorate Cavalry Corps lined up in a long line and led their horses to Puluo Pass.
Even if the temple joined forces, it would not be able to gather 100,000 magic horses, so most of these war horses were ordinary horses.
With the physical strength of ordinary war horses, it is impossible to carry these knights in armor for a long time.
In the center of the procession, Su Ye and Euclid sat in the carriage, holding the magic book and studying.
As for Kabazin, Roctett and Meders, they were always standing by the window, always on guard.
Until noon, the procession stops for rest and lunch.
Su Ye invited the generals and magicians to have dinner together.
When the generals and magicians gathered, Su Ye successively took out the delicacies of the dragon's beauties and put them on the table.
Hot dishes are steaming hot.
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Su Ye took out a knife and fork, made a gesture of please, and then forked a steaming piece of stewed beef brisket, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and enjoyed the pleasure brought by the food.
The magicians were better and ate very reservedly.
The warrior generals tentatively tasted it, and then turned into hungry wolves, regardless of their image, and feasted on it.
They have been training in closed mode for half a year, eating military food for half a year, and they are already on the verge of collapse.
Suddenly I tasted the best food in the world, and I couldn't help it.
These warrior generals ate the scene of the devil's lion dinner, which frightened the nearby soldiers.
After the wind and clouds were eaten, all the generals suddenly felt that Su Ye was pleasing to the eye.
After the meal, the march continued.
On the carriage, Medels looked out the window and said, "Su Ye, when did you say that Persia would find out about our team?" β
"I found it early." Su Ye said nonchalantly.
"Oh?"
"This kind of large-scale personnel movement, no matter how slow Persia is, can be clearly understood, even if it is only through the transportation of materials." Su Ye Dao.
"Hmm...... You overestimate the Persians. At most, they will use magic and magic to detect, and at most they will use internal responses. Meders said helplessly.
"Can't you?" Su Ye asked.
"Not only Persia, but even we in Greece do not have the ability to accurately judge from the aspect of materials, first of all, the flow of materials is difficult to accurately detect, and the time is not timely, and then there are many obstacles to transmit back." Meders' expression was somewhat unnatural.
"That's why I said that the Ares Mountain is a bunch of stupid donkeys." Euclid mocked as he read the spellbook.
"It's really easy for you?" Meders was half-convinced.
"Quite simple. And the cost is not high, you only need to buy Persian merchants and logistics officers, it is easy to buy these data, do you think the Persians will care about this kind of data? β
"Hmm...... I would suggest to the temple that we should use magic more vigorously. β
"Philosophy, to be exact." Euclid's tone still lacked a hint of sarcasm.
Meders looked indifferent.
Su Ye shook his head.
In this era, almost all subjects other than magic were called philosophy, including mathematics and geometry. In the Blue Star, even the book that opened up classical physics is also called "Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy", and the author Newton has always considered himself a philosopher and theologian. Science evolved from philosophy.
"Now that they've discovered our cavalry legions, is our attack still useful?" Melancholy flowed between Meders' brows.
Su Ye smiled slightly and said, "Not only is it useful, but it is also very useful." If you were a Persian general, would you be more cautious or more at ease than you were when you didn't know? β
"I see. You think they're underestimating the power of the Knights' Legion and thinking they have enough of the situation, and even if they're prepared, they can't be enough. And you, it seems, think that even we underestimate the Knights. β
"Persia did not underestimate the cavalry corps, but underestimated the cavalry corps I led." Su Ye smiled indifferently.
In addition to Euclid, the three of them fell into deep thought, what other means did Su Ye hide?
Late at night, the team finally arrived at Puluoguan.
Outside the Puluo Pass at night, the Protector Cavalry Corps spread like a looming river.
Many generals who had already received the news stood outside the south gate of Puluo Pass and hurried to greet each other.
Su Ye saw many familiar faces.
General Mityades, General Fast, the Academy's Sanctuary warrior Tagora, and teachers and fourth- and fifth-year students from numerous academies.
At the same time, he also met people that Su Ye had not expected, the gladiator king Commodus, the little white-faced Castor, and the gladiator Segus.
Su Ye stepped out of the carriage and looked at Micyades.
Just like when he saw it at the marathon, the legendary is tall, slightly hunched, with his hair standing on end.
However, his hair is grayer and there are more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.
"Su Ye, the first deputy head of the Protector Qi Soldier Legion and a senior general, is here to reinforce!" Su Ye said, his right hand clenched into a fist and placed it on his heart.
Everyone on the other side immediately raised their heads and saluted in return.
"General Mitead of the coalition forces, on behalf of all the soldiers of Proguan, welcome General Su Ye! Welcome every soldier who comes to reinforce you! "Micher is tall and straight, no longer hunched over, not even visible to age.
What Su Ye saw was a statue on the top of a mountain, commanding the storm. In the midst of the storm, under the thunder, it did not move.
Everyone behind General Mitead looked at Su Ye excitedly.
Some of the students at Plato's Academy even covered their mouths and cried, especially those of their female classmates.
Including the aristocratic female classmate who was once held to the head by Palos with a soup bowl.
"Meders." MitΓ©yard looked at Medders with gentle gaze as if he were his own nephew.
"Uncle Miteaud." Medders smiled.
"We've got you guys ready, let's go!" With a wave of his hand, Mithiade led the group forward.
"I knew we would see each other again, but I didn't expect that we would meet in this way." Mitaade's voice was full of emotion.
"I didn't expect that either." Su Ye Dao.
"I don't want to see you here."
Mitaades' voice was low, but the people around him could hear it clearly.
Some have dim eyes, some have sad and angry faces, some have fiery eyes, some have clenched fists, and some have their heads down.
"But I want to see you, and I want to see each and every one of you leave here and return home!" Su Ye's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"Good! You kid is still a kind of kid when I was younger! Mithiades praised loudly, with enthusiasm, and instantly melted into the gloomy night.
The young students of Plato's Academy kept wiping away tears.
"The people over there in the Tempe Valley won't let you go." Michayade Road.
Many people's faces changed slightly, and no one expected that General Mitaiad would be so direct.
"If I don't come, they won't let me go. What's more, Meders and I are the commanders of the cavalry corps, and they can't control me! β
Michayades glanced back at the cavalry army and said, "I can't ask much about the cavalry regiment, and I don't need to ask after the battle. Since you are here, we are comrades-in-arms who fight side by side. What do you think. β
"I'm at the mercy of the general." Su Ye replied quickly.
The generals present nodded slightly.
Mithiades said, "I can't control your cavalry legions, and besides, I don't know the combat methods of the cavalry legions. On top of that, I was told that you are Proguan's greatest hope. It's like, you were the best hope for a marathon, and you made it. β
The people nearby looked at Su Ye, and torches lit in their eyes.
"I don't want to be presumptuous, but what I want to say is that all of us together are Proguan's greatest hope! And I and the cavalry corps will definitely do what we should do, and we will definitely be able to exceed everyone's imagination! β
"Good!" Once again, Mithaides praised.
"Since the general respects our cavalry corps, then I will say a few points. First, in the future, the logistics of the cavalry corps must be guaranteed, which is our foundation. β
"That's fine!" Michayade Road.
"The second point is to build a road for the cavalry corps to the outside of the city, the city gate is definitely not enough, the best way is to build a dirt slope on both sides of the city gate, inside the city and outside the city, so that our cavalry can go uphill to the city wall, and then charge downhill. Especially the uphill road must be gentle. With the power of a magician, it is possible to do it in a single day. β
"You're a magician, and if you say it's okay, then I'll do my best to build it."
"The third point is that I decide when to attack. So...... Your comrades may suffer some losses. Su Ye said.
"In order to maximize the victory, we can afford to lose! The biggest loss was to be buried with the city, as we expected. β
"Yes!"
"We are not afraid of losses!"
"We believe in the cavalry corps, we believe in Su Ye!"
The soldiers of Proguan shouted one after another.
"I'll start with these three points, and as for the rest, after the first battle, everyone will find out! What I brought with me, in addition to the 100,000 cavalry corps, there is hope! Su Ye's words were loud.
Those who knew Su Ye's deeds, for some reason, swept away the dark clouds in their hearts, and were full of confidence in the battle situation.
This is something that even Mithiades can't do.
When the 150,000 people were transferred, the entire Puluo Pass seemed to be shrouded in black clouds and night.
General Mithiades also gave an Athenian motivational speech yesterday, and everyone was in good spirits, but after that, morale dropped again.
Now, Su Ye brings hope.
Hope for victory!
Hope to live!
"Su Ye!"
"Su Ye!"
"Su Ye!"
People nearby shouted, followed by more shouts.
Everyone walked into the fortress of Puluoguan, and countless soldiers and auxiliaries shouted Su Ye's name and title.
"The King of Marathon!"
"Champion King!"
"The Great One!"
"The Greatest Magician!"
"Twin Kings Su Ye!"
The eyes of countless people were ignited by Su Ye.
The cavalry corps arrived at the garrison, and after the reorganization, the generals and the high-ranking magicians began a pre-battle meeting.
The discussion lasted until the sun rose the next day, and then the meeting ended.
After that, Su Ye called General Mithiad to another room, and originally wanted to lend Midiad two items, but he only took one, and he did not lack the other.
After returning to his residence and taking a nap all morning, Su Ye met with his friends and the teachers and students of the college.
