Chapter 603: Bloodletting

A few city-states played all sorts of tricks.

For example, Su Ye and Mithiades are not shown on magical images at all, only those distant images are played, so that anyone who is not from his city-state becomes a hero.

Athens was even more excessive, except for the magic images played at the entrance of Plato's Academy, the broadcast of magic images with Su Ye and Mithiades was forbidden in other places.

However, the populace is not stupid.

The more the God of War Mountain is banned, the more crazy the spread of the people becomes.

Some of the populace and bards even gave up their jobs for a while and scattered throughout the city of Athens to spread the story of Suye and let everyone go to Socrates Avenue to see magical images.

And in the world meeting room of the Magic Council, it was completely boiling.

The number of people discussing was a little smaller than when the three-dimensional magic array appeared, but the exchange was more lively.

Everyone was talking about Suye's realms and powers, and even the Persian magicians who had not participated in the war had time to think about the Persian magicians and Persians who had died in battle, as well as the legendary warrior Mahal who had died.

The students of Plato's Academy were all very excited, especially Su Ye's classmates, there was nothing during class, and as soon as class ended, the male classmates immediately gathered around and shouted loudly like primitive people.

When class returned to normal, and when it came to the next class, they couldn't hold back and yelled together.

Regardless of the actions of the rulers of the city-states, the massacre of two million Persians by the Greek coalition continued to spread throughout Greece like a typhoon.

The Egyptian army, which had been eyeing Greece, immediately retreated, and the battle for Crete ended.

The terrifying torrent of hell cavalry woke up all the Egyptian generals.

However, the Nordic war maniacs were eager to try, and some even claimed that when the two countries were finished, they would find an opportunity to have a fair battle with the Greeks to see whether the Hell Knights of Suye were strong or the Norse berserkers were invincible.

At a time when the whole world was boiling over Su Ye and the Hellcavalry, Proguan was calm, but Tempe Valley was the complete opposite.

Beginning in the afternoon, almost every hour, Proguan received military information, requests for help, or orders from the Tempe Valley coalition forces.

The generals of Proguan simply gathered in the big tent and waited.

Su Ye also straightened out what happened in Tempe Valley through magical faith.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the hero King Gilgamesh led an army of more than two million people and arrived outside the Tempe Valley.

It's different from Xerxes's shabby palace of the Hundred Elephants.

Gilgamesh directly brought the Palace of Heroes, a floating castle floating in mid-air, with a radius of more than 300 meters.

The whole body is covered with gold, and the golden can shake the eyes of blind dogs.

Xerxes stood honestly behind Gilgamesh.

The Persian army raised the banner of a single king, which meant that Xerxes did not have any command.

After all, Xerxes had all gone.

Unlike the slightly aggressive Xerxes, upon arriving outside the Tempe Valley, Gilgamesh immediately set up camp and established fortifications, using not only magic but also a large number of non-magical items such as wood, rock, metal, etc., to establish a well-established defense line and fortification.

With the help of a large number of giants, monsters, and magicians, the fortifications were built extremely quickly.

After the basic defenses had been erected, a group of Persian soldiers, who had been resting, suddenly went out and began the first round of siege during the night.

Xerxes' siege engines were destroyed before they could be used, while Gilgamesh's attack was steady enough to alarm the Greek generals.

From the horn of battle, the entire Persian army was like an orderly ant colony, never using any tricks, only the purest coordination of various arms, with siege equipment.

Fight a war of attrition.

Each Persian team fought like a puppet with a magic crystal, fighting in an orderly manner.

But this is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is that the ace army of Persia took turns to attack, and the Undead Army, the Giant Legion, the Flying Serpent Legion, the Warcraft Legion, the Giant Elephant Legion and the Heroic Guards Regiment were not absent.

Su Ye only looked at the simple information, and he had to admit that Gilgamesh was terrible.

This is slowly bloodletting the Greek army.

This is to bareage the Greeks in the Valley of Tampe.

This is what the coalition headquarters fears the most.

Because, for the Persians, it is a good thing to quickly capture the Tempe Valley, the Thermothermal Pass, and the hinterland of Greece, but there are also huge hidden dangers.

Once the Persians invaded the hinterland of Greece, they would inevitably divide their troops everywhere, and if the Greeks had preserved enough living force, they could completely rely on their geographical advantages to consume the Persian army.

But now, as long as the Persians slowly bleed the Greeks here, they don't need to kill all the Greek warriors, they only need to inflict heavy damage on the Greek living forces for a certain period of time, and then break through the Tempe Valley, and finally rush into the Greek hinterland.

If only light infantry went into battle, the Persian attrition would have been enormous, but because the ace legions were sent in turn, the Persian attrition was minimized.

At first, some of the generals in the Puluoguan tent were a little gloating.

But as the war reports continued to increase, everyone began to worry about Greece.

In the middle of the night, intelligence from Persia properness kept many of the generals awake.

Darius the Persian Emperor was furious at Xerxes' defeat, but at the same time he requisitioned a million more troops to come to his aid.

Unlike most generals, a few people, such as Su Ye and Miteade, were not only not afraid, but were very happy.

In the short term, the Greeks will be under great pressure to encounter more enemies.

However, from a long-term perspective, Darius was digging into the foundations of Persia by constantly expanding the war and consuming manpower and resources, regardless of the country's ability to bear it.

Once there is a huge gap between the consumption and development of a country, and the country does not have new strength to develop by leaps and bounds, then it will inevitably collapse.

After receiving this news, Su Ye slept beautifully.

When I woke up the next day, all kinds of news circulated in Puluoguan.

Basically, it is spread by magicians who can communicate secretly.

It turned out that the carriages of the adjudicators of the Inquisition of the Gods had stopped in the sky above the Tempe Valley, and had never been found, just like the Overseers.

The pressure on the Coalition Headquarters in Tempe Valley was extremely high, as each of them realized that they had done something stupid that led to the Inquisition of the Gods. Since there is not only no problem on the side of Proguan, but there are huge military exploits, the Judgment of the Gods will inevitably choose the unlucky ones from the generals of Tempe Valley to decide.

Now all the generals in Tempe Valley are like people who tie their shoes after encountering a lion, they don't need to run past the lion, they only need to run past their teammates to survive.

When all the generals pursued the doctrine of doing more wrong, doing less wrong, not doing well, and throwing the blame, the entire Tempe Valley fell into complete chaos.

When they aim for the standard of not doing things and throwing pots, they no longer think about war, no longer think about the Greeks, no longer think about victory.

Officers and men at the middle and lower levels complained bitterly.

Fortunately, Gilgamesh's battle was always relaxed, never putting the Greek army under pressure to crush the Tempe Valley, but it was overwhelming the Greeks at every turn.

Since last night, the fighting of the Persian army has not stopped.

Fortunately, the Tempe Valley was not wide, and the line of contact on the battlefield was limited, even if the Persians had a huge numerical advantage, the Greek coalition could already support it.

One day, two days, three days, four days......

By the fifth day, Su Ye looked through the intelligence and realized that Tempe Valley was about to be unable to support it.

The number of dead and wounded has even become insignificant, and what really makes the Tempe Valley unable to hold on is that the entire coalition army has lost its unified goal, everyone is fighting for their own interests, no one cares about the others, no one cares about the coalition forces.

The chaos at the top of the coalition army has dealt a fatal blow to the middle and lower ranks of officers and soldiers, coupled with the fact that the Persian army has been attacking continuously these days, and it has not stopped all the time.

Their bodies can rest in turns, but their spirits never rest.

They simply do not know where the end of the war is, they do not see hope, because there is not even a simple victory.

Whenever the Greeks gained the slightest advantage, the Persian ace army would inevitably appear and deliver a crushing blow.

When two or three thousand giants stood hundreds of meters away and threw boulders continuously, no one could stand on top of the city walls.

The narrowness of the Tempe Valley became an advantage not only for Greece, but also for the ace army.

The most terrifying thing is that some Greek generals realized that if they killed and wounded too many Persians in a short period of time, they would be retaliated by the ace army, so they would deliberately slow down the pace of the battle at certain times, and withdraw a group of men when they could have given the Persians a heavy blow.

In the short term, such a command was incomparably correct, but it didn't take long for the Greek soldiers to fight more and more negatively, what was the difference between this and kneeling before Persia?

And the Persians are getting braver and braver, since the other side does not dare to attack desperately, then what are they afraid of?

Looking at this information, Su Ye shook his head, Gilgamesh was really powerful, and he took all aspects into account.

At this time, Su Ye even suspected that Gilgamesh had not made a move before, and had agreed to Xerxes to attack Proguan first, which was to test Greece.

Sure enough, Gilgamesh received Darius's commendation and gave him a new title of honor, as well as some new porcelain plates and a set of golden cutlery, but other than that, he did not award any treasures.

For all Persia knew that Gilgamesh was richer than Darius.

In the Persian camp.

Xerxes sat on the throne of the king's tent, looking condescendingly at a sanctuary and a golden magician.

"I heard, you're doing something for my sister Ixina?"

The two magicians frowned.

"Your Highness, Princess Izina is still waiting for our return, and you can't recruit us indiscriminately." The Sanctuary Mage said helplessly.

"Tell me, what are you going to Rome to do for her?" Xerxes asked with a blank face.

He had been expressionless for five or six days.

"How do you know we're going to Rome?" The Sanctuary Mage said helplessly.

"Nonsense! Returning to Persia from Northern Europe or from Greece proper, you will not pass through the city of Orouson, only from Rome to Persia, you will pass through this area. ”

"We're just going to rest for a night in the city of Olusson......"

"If you want to blame it, it's the wrong time for you to come. Say, what have you done for her? ”

"We need to keep this matter a secret." Sanctuary Mage Dao.

Xerxes sneered and said, "In peacetime, I really can't help you, but now it's wartime!" ”
