Chapter 23: The War of the Council (Part II)

(Sorry for the late update)

During the tense period of the Persian army, Athens began to gather its armed forces, and the ships were densely packed on the sea near the city, close together, and the queue was neatly moored on the docks

At this moment, the Athenian navy assembled more than 300 triculars, a large warship commonly used in the Mediterranean, with a total length of 37 meters and a total weight of 45 tons, which can be said to be the most powerful warship of this era.

A three-oared battleship carried 1 captain, 4 archers, 14 javelinmen, 25 sailors, and an additional 170 oarsmen.

The oarsmen were mainly poor people and slaves, and although they were numerous, they were not to be feared. The main thing is the other 44 crew members on board, which is the main combat strength of the three-oared battleship.

That is to say, there are more than 13,000 troops in the naval camp at this moment, and the tents set up stretch for more than ten kilometers.

Faced with such a situation, it is naturally impossible for Qin Rongshuai to directly lead people to attack the military camp, although he has won consecutive battles after coming to this world, he has not yet swelled to the point of sweeping thousands of troops.

At this moment, his heart was full of AC numbers.

If you can't attack it, then you can only outwit it.

Qin Rongshuai took out the mask of the Kosmos Cult and put it on his face, dressed up as the priest of the temple, and then asked the two Amazonian female warriors to dress up as Pythian maidens and put on white linen dresses.

Then let the Pythia lead the way, and prepare to disguise themselves as the gods of the Aegean Sea and infiltrate the barracks, so that they can meet Epinys directly. When the time comes, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of others, Epignes will definitely meet them alone.

In this way, Qin Rongshuai has the opportunity to use the spirit control ability of the golden apple to easily subdue Epinys, and when Kerantipos arrives, he can immediately transfer the command of the navy.

After mastering the navy, he immediately led his troops into the city of Athens and disarmed the city guards, so that the situation was decided.

After the four of them were modified, Qin Rongshuai led a group of people straight to the naval barracks, but was stopped by the patrolling sentry before they reached the door.

The sentinel's attitude was polite but not wary, and he said in a loud voice, "Please stop, priest of the temple, this is the barracks of the navy, please explain your intentions." ”

Many people in the naval camp who saw the temple cast curious glances, and for a while, the crowd was crowded.

Being watched by so many people for the first time, Qin Rongshuai was a little panicked, but at this time, Pythia was very calm, and said with a majestic face: "Soldier, go and inform Opines that his guest has arrived and needs to see him immediately." ”

The sentry immediately turned around and ran into the camp, and it took more than ten minutes to run back, during which Qin Rongshuai was worried in his heart, and the seconds were like years, although he knew that the camp was very large, and it would take some time for the sentinels to go back and forth, but the taste of being watched by others was quite uncomfortable, especially because he had a ghost in his heart.

"The general said that guests can go in, but the retinue must stay outside." The sentry quickly returned the message.

Qin Rongshuai nodded, and only took Pythia and the two female warriors into the camp, and led by the sentry to a small hillside, where the general's camp was stationed.

Not only is the terrain towering, but the view is wide, and you can overlook the entire barracks from standing on it.

However, Qin Rongshuai felt that the biggest advantage was seclusion, and he would not alarm the soldiers in the military camp in the distance when he moved his hands for a while.

The general's guards glanced at a few people, and found that they were not carrying any weapons, so they let Qin Rongshuai and others in, and after entering the camp tent, they saw a middle-aged man with a full beard sitting behind a table, covered in armor, and his eyes swept everyone sharply.

"What are you doing here?" Epinies frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

Qin Rongshuai took a step forward and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, General, we bring a message. ”

"What message?" Epinies asked curiously.

Qin Rongshuai took out the golden apple from his personal space and shouted, "Kneel!" ”

A pale golden halo emanated from the golden apple, spreading out in all directions, filling the tent.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

However, nothing happened, Epinies' eyes widened, looking straight at Qin Rongshuai, his eyes were gloomy, his right hand had already pressed on the hilt of the sword, and asked in a low voice, "What did you just say?" ”

Qin Rongshuai was stunned, why didn't the golden apple have any effect, could it be that he was holding a fake?

No, I've tried it in the temple before.

"Uh, General, will you let me try again?" Qin Rongshuai asked with some embarrassment.

"Someone, there's an assassin!" Epinies drew his saber with his backhand and shouted.

Qin Rongshuai reluctantly took out the weapon from the carry-on space, and threw it to the Amazon female warrior with his backhand, "Alas, do you have to resort to force in the end?" ”

complained in his mouth, but Qin Rongshuai was not slow at all, and directly kicked over the table in front of him and threw himself at Epinies.

"Stop them!"

The guards who heard the movement outside the tent rushed in, and two cold lights slashed down on their heads, and the guards who were caught off guard were cut to the ground, and the guards behind hurriedly took a few steps back, only to see two women in white dresses holding long swords, staring at the guards outside with cold eyes.

When the guards saw that there were only two women, they immediately perked up and rushed over again with their long swords.

Epignes dodged the overturned table, and slashed at it with a swing of his sword.

"Bell!"

With a crisp sound of metal impact, Qin Rongshuai backhanded the saber of Epines with a machete, and with a flip of his wrist, he swung the saber back.

The machete was withdrawn, and he held the handle of the knife with both hands and pushed it forward, and his body moved with the knife, and the whole person pounced on it.

White light is like practice!

Epinies raised his sword in surprise to block, but unexpectedly, the sharp machete directly cut off his saber, and the blade stabbed Epinies in the chest.

The lightning-fast stab stabbed EpiΓ±es in the chest but could no longer stab him, and a milky white light flashed from Epinies' body, blocking the blade.

At this time, shouts outside the camp shook the sky, and a tidal wave of guards poured towards the camp.

Seeing that he couldn't stab, Qin Rongshuai's eyes turned red, his hands slammed hard, and he shouted, "Open it for me!" ”

The milky white light on Epinys's body flickered, then shattered, turning into bits of white light and vanishing.

The snow-white blade cut through the flesh and blood of Eppies' chest, and was blocked by the bone, Qin Rongshuai immediately withdrew his hand, put the knife on his neck, and slapped a healing technique on Epins's wound.

"Tell your people to stop!" , Qin Rongshuai shouted.

Epinies was already frightened to the point that his hands and feet were weak, and looking at the knife wounds he gradually encountered, he nodded busily and shouted: "Stop, stop!" ”

The guards outside hesitated, but still tightly surrounded the tent.

"Let your men take twenty steps back!"

Epinies hesitated, Qin Rong Shuai used a little force, and a bloody mark suddenly appeared on the skin on his neck.

"Stand back, stand back!" , Epinies cried out in fright.

Epinies' guards slowly retreated, and Qin Rongshuai asked the female warrior to guard the entrance to the camp, and then began to ask Epinies if there was any evidence of collaboratorship.

Where is Epines willing to say, he will die after he makes it clear, it is better to deny it and try to obfuscate the past.

The situation was stalemate for a while, Qin Rongshuai was not in a hurry at all, he was waiting.

At this time, there was a sudden uproar outside the camp tent, and the entire barracks was in an uproar, as if something had happened.

"General Quesantipos is here! General Quesantipos is here! The familiar shouts of the clerk rang out from outside the tent, "Everyone stand back and lay down their weapons." ”

The clerk Krossos ran and shouted loudly, and the soldiers who heard the shouts saw the banner of General Quesantipos, slowly withdrew their weapons, and watched suspiciously as General Czentibos entered the barracks with his entourage.

Krossos rushed to the camp first, and when he saw that his boss was safe and sound, he immediately relieved his heart and shouted happily: "Lord Qin, I have brought General Queshantibos." ”

Qin Rongshuai nodded, and said expressionlessly: "Very good!" ”

Then, with a casual slash, he slit EpiΓ±es' throat, and the blood shot out like a fountain, cutting an arc through the air.
