Su Ye smiled: "Indeed, whether you are stupid or not sometimes does not depend on the things and the person itself, but on the angle from which we look at things. In the eyes of some nobles, it was right to attack the mage for their own sake. If their horizons are a little higher, when they reach the second layer, it is also right to attack the mage for the sake of the family. Then, their horizons continued to rise, and when they reached the third level, it seemed right to attack the mages for the sake of all the nobles. The reason is simple, they believe that the wealth and power of the world are limited, and that when magic has power, they themselves will be damaged. I say that, right? ”

The crowd nodded.

"Now, then, we think of ourselves as individuals, as a man who is beyond animals, as a man who has the ability to think, and then, we suppose, if we go one higher and see not only individuals, families, and some nobility, we reach the fourth level, the whole of Greece. We think about it at the level of Greece as a whole, should we attack the magicians? Should magicians be curbed? General Fast, you answer first. ”

Fast was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Magicians can indeed take away the power of nobles, which is indeed disadvantageous for most nobles. However, the appearance of magicians can better protect Greece, make the Greek people live better, and at the same time, it can also make the nobility live better, and on the whole, magicians can improve the aspects of Greece. In the words you said before, the magicians add a diversity to all of Greece and open up a possible new path and direction for the future of Greece. This new direction and new path should not be blocked, for any possible direction would lead to a slowdown in the progress of the Greeks, and thus to their demise by foreigners, natural disasters, and internal contradictions. ”

Many of the noble generals present nodded helplessly, and the magicians smiled.

Su Ye nodded and said, "Very good, then, let's think about it, time goes back to the past, in the dark era, when Greece only had many villages and tribes, and there were no city-states. And the best of the villages, in action, built the city-state step by step so that the Greeks could live better. And those people back then were called 'state builders', and those state builders were the origin of the aristocracy. In that era, the aristocracy defeated those who opposed the city-state system, defeated those who still lived in the tribal era, defeated those who were ignorant and backward, and the aristocracy became the correct and advanced force of that era. No one would deny this, right? ”

The noble warriors nodded happily, and the magicians nodded in agreement.

"So, let's push back the time, before the tribal era, human beings struggled in the dark, and the leaders of those tribes took responsibility and formed tribes, leaving the seeds of inheritance for mankind, in the dark ages, did those tribal leaders also symbolize the correct and advanced power of that era?" Su Ye asked.

Many nodded.

Su Ye continued, "In the Dark Ages, tribal leaders represented the right and the advanced. But in the era of the city-state, even though the tribal leaders had the right side, they were wrong and backward compared to the aristocratic state-builders. If they conform to the changes of the times, do not consider their own interests, but stand on the fourth level, and consider the interests of all the people, then they are still the ladder of mankind and the pathfinder of mankind. However, if they rebel against the changes of the times, for their own small and short-term interests, and disregard the great and long-term interests of the times, and oppose the noble founders, then they are the enemies of mankind and represent evil. ”

The audience was silent, as long as the magician and a few warriors were in high spirits.

"Greece went through the age of the tribes, through the age of the old city-states, and came to the age of the new city-states. The new era of city-states has given rise to many new forces, including wealthy merchants, heavily armed warriors, civilians of all kinds, and magicians. So, do the current aristocracy learn from the tribal leaders of the founding period to fight against the founders, or do they learn from the founders of the past, blend into the torrent of the new era, abandon personal, short-term and petty interests, and pursue long-term interests for the benefit of the whole of Greece? ”

The crowd pondered in silence.

"Let's go one level further up, which is the fifth floor. This time, we are not thinking from the point of view of the Greeks, we are thinking from the point of view of the whole world and all of humanity. So, let's look down, what are those nobles doing? ”

"For their own benefit and for the sake of small groups, for their own power, they persecute civilians and hinder the well-being of many more; They enslaved the peasants and reduced them to cattle farming; They brutalized merchants and craftsmen and hindered the flow of more goods; They hunt mages, blocking and interrupting the possibility of progress for all mankind. You use your brains...... No, think with your heels, can a group that is hostile to almost all the forces in the world be immortal for all generations? ”

"So, they are smart in the short term, but in the long run, they are stupid and ignorant."

"Ordinary people can not examine themselves at a higher level, but those who bear glory cannot!"

"In order to survive better and make better progress, mankind will overthrow all evils, mistakes and backwardness! The whole history of mankind is a history of struggle, overthrowing the greatest evil of one era after another! ”

"Do you want humanity to fail?"

Su Ye glanced at the meeting hall.

The crowd was silent.

"So, General Fast, do you think those nobles were right or wrong in the end?"

"I'm ......" Fast stole a glance at General Miteaud, hesitating.

"When we look at a problem and only look at the present, it means that we give up looking for the future; Just looking at the lower levels, that means we give up climbing the peaks. So, Fast, tell me, do you want to stay where you are, or do you want to pursue the future? Do you want to retreat in the sanctuary, or climb the peak? ”

Fast remained silent.

Mityade looked at Su Ye and smiled with satisfaction.

"Born as a human being, we should pursue the future and climb the peak."

The voice of the legendary general continued to echo in the council chamber.

Euclid said slowly: "If Su Ye had not pursued the future, the sound of iron hooves outside the Puluo Pass would not have sounded; If Su Ye had not climbed the peak, there would be no papermaking and movable type printing in the world; If Su Ye, like those nobles, only thinks about his own interests, only the interests of Plato's Academy, and even only the interests of magicians, then the Palace of Hundred Elephants and the Palace of Heroes are already standing in the city of Athens, and Su Ye is already the new king of Uruk. ”

The noble warriors bowed their heads silently.

"When the Palace of Heroes ascended to Mount Romus, when the light of Gilgamesh shone on Thermopylae Pass, there were no reinforcements, and I chose to retreat." Su Ye had an elusive smile floating on his face.

Everyone looked at Su Ye blankly.

Fast gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

He knew that the retreat that Su Ye said was not just the withdrawal from the Hot Springs, not just the withdrawal from the northwest region of Greece, and not just the withdrawal from Athens.

"I'm a little tired of it, too," Euclid said with a frown, "Su Ye's destiny should be like me, wandering in the ocean of magic and knowledge, and then, creating amazing theories and constantly opening up new disciplines for mankind." You have been delaying Su Ye. ”

The meeting ended in a solemn atmosphere.

Early the next morning, the Persian army did not come.

The coalition headquarters sent only 10,000 Greek warriors to guard the port, and all the large armies retreated in an orderly manner.

They were going to withdraw from Mount Romus.

Withdraw from the place where Gilgamesh practiced.

On the wall of the hot spring pass, everyone looked ahead, the golden pillar of light surpassed the mountain, like a pillar of heaven, once it fell, the entire Romus Mountain and the small hot spring pass would collapse in an instant.

The generals even lost the courage to discuss, just watched silently, silently in a daze.

Su Ye flipped through the magic book and read about Gilgamesh's deeds.

The more he read, the more Su Ye sighed.

The Hero King is too strong, and this kind of person who can fight on the ground according to the new god has surpassed common sense.

He was so strong that he even aroused the jealousy of the Persian gods, who refused to be a god for him.

Almost everyone is sure that once Gilgamesh is a god and can be promoted to the position of the main god in just a few decades, he will inevitably compete with Marduk for the position of Persian god king.

This kind of super genius with the qualifications of a god king has become his own opponent.

Su Ye sighed, in front of such a strong man, there is no shame in retreating.

Unfortunately, there is no one left in Greece.

Su Ye closed the book and returned to his room for the final tidying up.

After finishing everything, go back to the hot springs.

The sun slowly rose, and as it rose right in the middle of the sky, suddenly, the sky and the earth darkened.

Eight pitch-black hurricanes rose from the ground, like eight pillars of heaven, straight into the sky.

Each hurricane was a kilometer in diameter, lined up behind the Persian camp and reached the sky, like the end of the world.

With the eight hurricanes as the center, more and more dark clouds gathered, and eventually, dark clouds covered a radius of thousands of miles, covering Mount Romus.

The sea of clouds covered the sky, and the hot springs were reduced to night.

The sea was also blackened by dark clouds.

"Gilgamesh's artifact, the Sword of the Eight Winds......"

The generals muttered to themselves, their voices trembling.

Then, in place of the sun, pale golden rays shrouded a radius of hundreds of miles.

Dark clouds and golden light alternate between dark and light.

Where the golden light is, it is indestructible.

"The Armor of the Heavenly City, which is said to be made of the skin and bones of the Heavenly Bull, is his second artifact, which is higher in rank than the Sword of the Eight Winds......"

The whole hot spring was in despair.

After the Battle of Proguan, the army of Xerxes was completely annihilated.

After the Battle of the Tempe Valley Pass, Su Ye single-handedly intercepted the Persian pursuers.

Finally, the Battle of Thermopay Pass and the Battle of Maris Bay witnessed the total destruction of the Persian navy.

But now, the invincible power of the world is unfolding at the end of the sky.

In the golden light, before the eight pitch-black hurricanes, the huge Heroes Palace slowly rose into the sky.

It is like a temple hanging from the sky, looking down on the world.

Su Ye took a deep breath and slowly raised his hand, about to give the order to retreat.

Suddenly, a glimmer of golden light flew from the eastern sky.
