When Krossos heard the name, he was immediately incredulous, and he asked with confusion, "Ambrera?!" What does this mean? I haven't heard of this term? ”

"Oh, it's a foreign word, which means umbrella in Greek." Qin Rongshuai waved his hand, "Don't care about these details, remember that your task is to quietly find the pieces of the Garden of Eden, and by the way, develop the offline, and don't do anything else." This shouldn't be difficult, after all, our goals are the same as those of the Order of the Ancients. ”

Krossos nodded, indicating that he understood his boss's intentions, and he thought for a moment, "Then do we need to merge with the Order of the Ancients and then infiltrate the control?" ”

Qin Rongshuai was shocked when he heard this proposal, Krosos's head is very good, and he is deeply heartfelt.

"That's a good idea, but you don't have to put too much thought into it." Qin Rongshuai nodded and said with a smile.

Krossos was a little puzzled, "Why, I think it's better to merge into one organization than two organizations to compete with each other." ”

"Because now the mind of the Ancient Order is to rule the world and establish a new order," Qin Rongshuai patted Krossos, "What's more, the strength of the Ancient Order is stronger than that of the Order of Order, and after the merger, our people are easily marginalized and even in danger of being eliminated, and strengthening oneself is fundamental." ”

"Don't worry, if you do a good job of the Order God Cult, the merging of the two organizations will be a matter of course in the future, and even annex the Order of the Ancients in turn."

Krossos is a smart man, and he is naturally a little bit clearer. , Qin Rongshuai gave him a few more points, such as strengthening economic construction, and with money, many things will naturally be easier to do.

Make more friends and bundle more people with interests, which can not only expand intelligence channels, but also increase organizational strength.

Strengthen the construction of corporate culture, put forward a lofty and great goal as the purpose, and engage in more down-to-earth and affordable welfare activities on a daily basis.

The rest is to pay attention to the activities of secret organizations and strengthen confidentiality measures.

He gave Krossos a long list of points, and left him to fill in the details of the rest.

After explaining these things, Qin Rongshuai received 1,500 gold coins from the people sent by Themis, which was the money for the thirty war horses that had been negotiated before.

Themis was now a busy man, busy with arming up for war, dealing with traitors and spies, unifying the minds of the Athenian citizens, and by the way, squeezing the Speaker of the Chamber, who retired early with dignity after handing over a large sum of money to donate to the Parliament.

However, now Qin Rongshuai was not so excited about the fifteen hundred gold coins, because a large amount of treasure had been found in the secret room of the Order God Sect, and there were more than 100,000 gold coins alone.

If you have money, you will naturally have to shop, Qin Rongshuai was very excited to ask the clerk to contact the largest slave trader and arms dealer in Athens, he has never been so rich in his eight lives, of course, he has to open up.

However, when he heard the slave owner's offer, his face was not very good-looking, because the slave owner proposed that Qin Rongshuai would take salt in exchange.

In ancient Greece, the general slave trade liked to trade salt, but Qin Rongshuai only brought a total of 100 small bags of salt, no matter how good the quality was, he couldn't exchange many slaves. What's more, he was going to use salt as a gift, how could he be cheap for those greedy slave owners for nothing.

Qin Rongshuai rejected this proposal and offered to pay for the goods with gold and silver coins.

Greek slaves were born from prisoners of war, bankrupt peasants, pirates, and slaves, with prices ranging from 4 to 40 silver coins, depending on age and health. If it is a craftsman, it is more expensive, for example, a slave in a weapon workshop is worth 100-150 silver coins.

The slave owner was very disappointed when he saw that Qin Rongshuai refused to sell the refined salt, so he wanted to slaughter him, you must know that Qin Rongshuai bought the largest number of slaves in history.

Facing the slave owner's lion opened his mouth, the clerk jumped out directly before the boss could speak, and began to bargain with the other party endlessly.

In the end, the two sides reached an agreement, and Qin Rongshuai bought 10,000 slaves for 30,000 gold coins, most of them adult males, between 20 and 40 years old, in good health, and a large number of trained gladiators, plus a thousand artisan slaves.

This business wiped out almost all the stocks of slave owners in the city of Athens, and the price of slaves skyrocketed for a while.

It's not that Qin Rongshuai didn't want to buy more slaves, but he couldn't afford to raise them, and these 10,000 slaves would consume 2,000 gold coins every month. Then it cost more than 60,000 gold coins to buy weapons, and the deposit of the Kosmos Sect was instantly reduced by half.

However, Qin Rongshuai is not distressed at all, anyway, all this money is robbed by the God of Order, it is easy to come and go faster, and he is a boss who firmly believes in people-oriented.

People are capital.

With people and weapons, naturally there is no need to worry about money or not.

Go grab it again...... Ah, no, just earn it again.

Qin Rongshuai is ready to arm these 10,000 slaves, and when the time comes, he will follow the Spartans to block the hot spring pass, and then there will be logistical support from the Athenians in the rear, and he Xerxes will not be killed if he is not convinced.

When the time is to block the Persian army, the Athenian navy will have no worries, and can directly go to sea to meet the Persian fleet.

As long as the Persian navy is annihilated, the Persian army does not want to be cut off from the back route, so it can only retreat, and the hot spring pass will be held.

This is the most secure clearance plan that Qin Rongshuai can come up with, he doesn't want to be blocked in the hot spring pass with the 300 Spartan warriors, and all of them will die.

The Persian army seems to be strong and strong, claiming to be a million-strong army, but in fact there is nothing to fear. In the Greco-Persian War in real history, when the Spartan king Leonidas was holding on, Athens mobilized all its citizens to go to sea en masse to hide, turning Athens into an empty city, and then the navy looked for fighters on the sea to fight a decisive battle with the Persian navy.

The Persians set fire to the city of Athens to vent their anger, but the Spartan army had been assembled, and the Persian army hesitated in the city of Athens, and the navy was completely annihilated by the Athenian fleet.

Therefore, as long as it is blocked in the hot springs, the longer it drags on, the greater the chance of winning.

It was now April, and the Persian army would not arrive at Thermopylae until August, which was enough time to train the slaves.

Because the Greek infantry phalanx was most suitable for the use of undertrained novices, except for Sparta, the other city-states did not have standing armies, and they were all assembled citizens in wartime, and these people lacked training in peacetime, so the Greeks invented this combat phalanx.

During the battle, everyone lined up and listed their shields next to each other, and stabbed with spears together at the command of the commander, and in a mountainous place like Greece, other countries could not gnaw at all in the face of this hedgehog tortoise shell phalanx.

With Qin Rongshuai's ability, it is more than enough to train these people, not to mention the defensive battle of the position where they are blocked, they are still prepared in the second line, and it is not a problem.

But now there is one of the biggest problems, and that is how to make these slaves obedient.

If you want these slaves to be obedient and obedient, not to run away and not to make trouble, you don't have to rely on gentle influence.

He needs to use the ability of the golden apple, but the golden apple is not very easy to use now, and if he wants to achieve the effect of brainwashing 10,000 people, he needs the cooperation of the scepter.

The only whereabouts of the scepter that Qin Rongshuai knew of was the Hermes Scepter of Pythagoras.

But the man traveled everywhere and his whereabouts were uncertain, and the only sure clue was that he had been in Sparta for a while, and it was not known if he was still there.

Whether he is there or not, Sparta is something that Qin Rongshuai must go.
