Chapter 624: Miscellaneous Pieces!
Su Ye and other generals stood on the wall of Hot Spring Pass, quietly watching the battle in the port.
The morale of both sides of the Greco-Persian side was the exact opposite of the battle of the Tempe Valley.
The Persian soldiers were like lost dogs, while the Greek warriors fought with a heart to wash away the old shame, knowing the shame and then bravely forgetting their lives.
In this batch of Persian army, there were only the undead army, the king's army and ordinary light infantry, and there was no rest of the ace army, and the structure was single, and at the time of the Battle of Marathon, this kind of army was slightly inferior to the Greeks, not to mention that the situation was now reversed.
After the Greek navy began to land, the Persian army was flanked by both sides and retreated.
Viewed from the city walls, the Greek coalition was the largest in number and steady.
The more than 5,000 people, led by Leonidas, were the most ferocious, because it was the combination of Sparta and Tebai, and these two cities were the two strongest warrior city-states in Greece.
Sparta produced the most elite warriors, while Tebay produced the strongest formations, the latter being the birthplace of Hercules.
Leonidas led a large army to make the Persian soldiers cry and cry for their mothers, and Leonidas was particularly good at avoiding his edge, avoiding the undead army, and killing the king's army and light infantry.
There was no suspense in the normal battle, and the Persian army soon collapsed in morale.
In just a few hours, more than 200,000 Persian troops fell into captivity.
The whole army rejoiced.
The generals at the headquarters of the coalition forces wept with joy.
After fighting for so long, there is finally a first battle that is not Su Ye's.
But on second thought, they cried even harder.
The Athena was designed and built by Su Ye, and the first credit of the Battle of the Bay of Marys still belonged to Su Ye.
General Themis directly called Grandpa Su Ye, if anyone wants to rob Su Ye's first credit, he must first ask Dimis if he agrees.
The Greek coalition recaptured the port and then held a celebration party to celebrate it with great fanfare.
This time, they are not fighting for military merit, but to boost morale, to vent the frustration of these days.
In the Tempe Valley, the Greek coalition was completely broken by the Persians.
After that, he fled all the way, except for the soldiers under Su Ye's command, all the Greek soldiers even suffered from Persianphobia.
In fact, when the Persians landed in the port, the allied soldiers could have resisted much longer, until Themis came to them, which would have made the battle smoother.
However, the morale of the coalition forces collapsed and they had to withdraw early.
And now, the coalition headquarters has finally won a battle.
Even if the main force is the navy.
The whole port is filled with a festive atmosphere.
After a little rearmament, the fleet of Themis sailed away from the Bay of Maris in the darkness of the night without even saying hello.
All Greeks mourned in silence for the coastal cities of Persia.
None of the opponents who were hated by Themis had good fruit to eat.
Opposite Thermopylae, the Persian army retreated into the camp.
The whole Persian camp was gloomy.
In the meeting of generals, no one spoke for half a day.
The dim light drifted in the night wind, illuminating the big tent into a tomb.
Because even the stupidest generals understand that this war has been lost.
Next, Greece could take advantage of its naval superiority and easily cut off Persian supplies.
The Aces can't just eat breadfruit.
According to the current trend, at most half a month, all the ace legions except for the undead army will all be withdrawn, or even flee.
Without these ace legions, the Greeks would launch a full-scale counteroffensive.
Without the sea route, this army could only return by land, and the Greeks would inevitably use the sea route to constantly transport troops and launch sieges and interceptions in various places.
Of the more than two million Persian troops, at most one-tenth will return to Persia.
These things are clear in the hearts of every general, but no one dares to say them.
Especially no one dared to let Gilgamesh hear it.
In case now Gilgamesh is a tyrant, who says who dies.
The Persian generals sat like statues, like the guardians of the mausoleum.
On the walls of Thermopylae, most of the Greek generals cheered.
However, a few generals such as Mithaides looked at the brilliant starry sky and did not say a word.
The Gulf of Maris has returned to calm, and the stars are as bright as the starry sky in the ocean.
Su Ye also thought expressionlessly.
"Su Ye, what do you think?"
"Normally, we've had the final victory, but the problem is that Gilgamesh is a huge variable. The kind of hero king with the strength of a demigod is not Xerxes who cherishes feathers. Su Ye said.
"I'm worried about it too. We made a pact that if Gilgamesh showed up, you would run away. If he catches you, I'll help you resist for a moment. Michayade said.
"How long can you hold him back?"
After being silent for a long time, Mityade said weakly: "Ten seconds? ”
"It's been ten seconds since the legend resisted the demigods." Su Ye said with emotion.
"If he directly uses the artifact, the entire hot spring pass will be a matter of blink of an eye." Mithiades said helplessly.
"Shall we ask the temple to come out?" Su Ye looked at Medders.
Meders said helplessly: "On the other side, I expect the temple to come forward, and then use the temple to intervene in this war, and then Gilgamesh can split the hot spring pass with a sword, kill hundreds of thousands of Greek coalition troops, and then enter Greece." ”
"In other words, the temple can only be moved after Gilgamesh has started, but by the time the temple does it, it is actually too late?" Su Ye asked.
"That's right."
"Can't the temple be as hard as I was in Proguan and slap it over?" Su Ye asked.
"I can't move......," the corners of Meders' mouth twitched.
"Neither can a demigod priest?" Su Ye asked.
"The god incarnation is no match for Gilgamesh, not to mention, he has even killed the new gods!" Meders Dow.
The nearby generals had a bitter look on their faces.
"Darius is really poisonous, knowing that he is a hot magma ball, he threw it directly into Greece. Euclid, what do you think? Su Ye frowned.
"I think we should give Gilgamesh a face." Euclid said seriously.
The generals threw their eyes in unison.
"Actually, even if we give up the hot springs now, Greece will not be in danger. No surprises. After the Persian army broke through the Thermothermal Pass, it wreaked havoc in northwestern Greece for a while at most, and then returned to the division, boasting that Persia had captured Greece. In this way, the Persians have a step down, and we in Greece also keep the losses to a minimum. A general said.
"It's not like the Greeks say it." Su Ye Dao.
There was a sigh on the walls.
One Gilgamesh is more difficult to deal with than a Persian army of millions.
"Wait, if it is Gilgamesh, the virtuous king, he will definitely communicate with Darius and then lead the Persians back."
"Yes, after all, King Xian still loves his people."
"His hero guards died hundreds of people, and he would not be distressed."
"And what if Gilgamesh is now a tyrant?" Su Ye asked rhetorically.
At night, the hot springs are quiet on the city walls.
At this moment, a strange, high-pitched, harsh, and even irritating voice resounded in the sky.
"Tomorrow at noon, this king will practice for a day in Mount Romus, irrelevant people, get out!"
Thundered......
I saw the direction of the Persian camp, and the golden light rushed to the sky, breaking through the sky.
The deafening word "roll" rolled in all directions like thunder, spreading thousands of miles away.
The hot springs were closed, and the generals were stunned.
It took a long time for everyone to react.
Fast said angrily: "He is blatantly violating the contract of the gods!" Saying that we are cultivating in Romus is actually forcing us to leave! ”
"He dropped with a sword and directly separated Mount Romus, is there still a fart in Hot Springs?"
"If he is more ruthless, the entire Romus Mountain, including the hot spring pass, will be razed to the ground!"
"It's too much! It's shameless! Sure enough, it's a tyrant! ”
"How can this be kept? Since you play like this, let's send out legends, heroes, and demigods to destroy the city and destroy the state! ”
"What about the heroes of Greece? What about demigods? Just watching him pee on the top of Greece's head? ”
"Hehe, I'm completely desperate for the Greek demigods."
"The priority now is to think about how to solve this problem." Mithiades sighed.
There was silence again on the walls.
Su Ye looked at the golden light rising in the sky.
"This crumb!" Su Ye finished speaking slowly, and he didn't know why, but he felt comfortable.
The generals looked at Su Ye with a frightened expression.
Is it so fierce?
Everyone returned to the council hall and continued to discuss, but the discussion came and went, but the discussion still did not come to a conclusion.
"What is the attitude of the temple? What is the attitude of the city-states? What is the attitude of those demigods? A grumpy general couldn't help but get angry.
Mitead sighed lightly and said, "The power of the temple cannot be moved at the moment, but the temple and the city-states are already in contact with the demigods. If you are a hero, you are no different from ordinary people in front of Gilgamesh, and he has killed more enemies and monsters of the hero rank than I have killed. ”
"What about the demigods?"
"Half-strong people rarely stay in Greece, and most of them are exploring various planes. There are also some old demigods, in order to prolong their lives, lock themselves in special places, and will not make a move until the destruction of their families or city-states. ”
"Now that Greece is about to be destroyed, won't they take action?"
"Obviously, we played too well and Greece got out of the crisis a little bit."
"So, coalition forces and temples, why don't you ask the legendary magicians of Greece for help?" Su Ye asked.
Silence returned to the chamber.
Su Ye said to himself: "One legend may not be able to help Gilgamesh, but the combination of multiple legends is enough to easily stop him." You all know the power of legendary magic, it is difficult to kill the hero king, but it is easy to stop him. Can anyone, then, tell me why the headquarters of the coalition armies, the city-states, and the temples would rather cede large swaths of the country, rather die a large number of warriors and civilians, and suffer the humiliation of being conquered by Persia than invite legendary magicians? ”
No one responded.
In other words, Greece is a fool who would rather sit back and watch Greece be annexed by Persia than work with magicians to create a better Greece. There are fools who would rather be buried with rotten, stubborn and ridiculous backward ideas, exterminated, and extinct, and would rather let outsiders replace themselves than give power to friendly people of their own, and never want to progress. I say that, right? ”
The people in the chamber remained silent.
Fast said slowly: "They are not stupid, they are just fighting for their own interests. ”
Some of the generals nodded helplessly.
