Chapter 103 Specialties of Sparta (addition 1226 for the leader "Foxes don't eat pears")

480 BC, Thermopylae Pass.

A lightly armed Spartan soldier came to the edge of the cliff, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with reverence, and said, "My king, we are ready."

The middle-aged man's name is Leonidas, who is the current king of Sparta. He nodded slightly, and suddenly asked, "Tell me, Dionysus, have you ever taken your son fishing?"

Dienix was slightly taken aback, but still answered, he clenched the spear in his hand and said, "No, never. As a soldier, glory is everything to me!"

"Oh." Leonidas chuckled, "I've always wanted to go fishing with my daughter, but before that..."

The King of Sparta put on his battle helmet, looked at the Persian warships that had filled the harbor and said, "We have to meet our destiny first."

In front of Thermopylae Pass, 300 Spartan warriors lined up in a neat square formation, and Leonidas walked through them step by step.

"Spartan warriors, every breath of your breath has led you to this moment, and every drop of your sweat has made you what you are today."

"The Persians set foot on our land to enslave us, but I have a better idea, why not offer their blood to the gods, what do you think?"

300 warriors raised their spears: "Oh!"

Leonidas shouted: "Fight for our son!"

"Oh!"

"Fight for our daughter!"

"Oh!"

"Fight for Sparta!!!"

"Oh!!!"

Leonidas turned around, and the shouts of killing gradually increased, and then the Persians, who were several times larger than them, rushed out from the darkness screaming.

"Array!"

The warriors lowered their figures and erected their shields.

The Persian army slammed into the shield, spread like a sea wave, and began to shatter.

The battle turned from night to day, and the Persians dropped thousands of corpses and chose to retreat temporarily.

This is not their first attack, nor is it their last, this kind of battle has been going on for several days, and all the warriors have become accustomed to it.

Leonidas patrolled the battlefield, and warriors cut down on the Persians who were still alive, then stacked their corpses together to build a wall of evil sighs to protect the good.

Dionysus dragged a Persian prisoner and walked quickly: "My king, traitors have appeared among us. Xerxes knows the path behind the mountain, and they are coming soon."

"Hahahaha..." Although the Persian prisoner knelt on the ground, his attitude was high and arrogant. He said with a smirk, "By noon, you will be surrounded by our large army."

Leonidas shook his head: "We are Spartans, nothing can surround us."

"Spartans?" The Persian soldier spat: "After the great King Xerxes destroys you, the word 'Sparta' will no longer be... poof!"

Before he could finish his sentence, Leonidas pierced the opponent's throat with a spear.

"Sparta may disappear one day, but before that, I will send your king to have a drink with Hades!"

The warriors gather.

Leonidas drew his spear and said loudly: "The Persians will remember this day, and the whole world will remember this day. For Sparta, the gods are with us!"

The warriors responded in unison, they knew that today would be a battle that must be lost, but this is not a reason to back down, because they will create miracles in this battle that must be lost, ushering in hope!

A soldier came to Leonidas and whispered, "My lord, that one is still refusing to eat, and she will not be able to hold on any longer."

"I see, I'll go see her."

Leonidas entered the tent with a bowl of boiled beans, and in it lay Siris, who had fallen from the sky five days before among the three hundred Spartans who were marching.

As for why it's not the world of Elden's Circle, Siris guessed that there was some kind of deviation in the transmission process, but she didn't care, because she lost an important person, and now she just wants to lie down, and doesn't care if the sky falls lie down.

"Some people say that yours is the daughter of Hermes, because you fell from the sky. But in my opinion, you are more like the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of harvest. Otherwise, how could you not eat or drink for five days in a row? Will you be hungry?" Leonidas said with a smile.

Siris stared straight at the top of the tent without responding.

"Well, I always thought I had a good sense of humor. I can make Myrrine laugh every time." Leonidas put down the boiled beans, sat next to Siris and thought about himself Said: "By the way, Myrrine is my daughter. She is as old as you. At least she looks as old on the outside. After all, you are a god who descended from the sky. You must have lived tens of thousands of years."

"By the way, did you fight Ares, the god of war? Few of your bones are intact. Myrrine, too, is as brave as a man though she is a woman. She dares to fight a wolf with her bare hands. , will also wear helmets and armor to participate in fighting competitions that only men can participate in. Others say she is a crazy girl, I do not deny this, she is indeed crazy, very naughty, sometimes too lively, will provoke A lot of trouble, but anyway, I still love her and am proud to have such a daughter."

Leonidas smiled, as if recalling the happy time with his daughter, and then he quickly came back to his senses and said: "Sorry, I talked a lot to myself, probably because you and Myrrine The age is similar, so I can't help but think of her. This feeling is a bit too weak for a general, but it is precisely to protect her that I stand here."

"There will be a big battle at noon today. I will die in battle with honor, and I will not be able to take care of you after that. But don't worry, I have arranged for Dienix to take you back to Sparta. I hope you can tell Myrrine that I Love her very much."

"I hate you." Siris said suddenly.

Leonidas was taken aback: "What?"

"I said I hate you, I hate you guys who think you are sacrificing for others!" Siris shouted loudly: "Have you ever thought about Myrrine's feelings? Have you ever thought about the people who are forced to accept your protection? Do you feel it? To them, your great sacrifice is nothing more than a lifetime of shackles and burdens, maybe they don’t intend to live in vain, maybe they just want to live and die with you, have you ever thought about it?!!!”

"Honestly, I haven't thought about it."

Leonidas thought for a while before answering: "I only know that Myrrine will die if I don't come forward, so I must stand up. Maybe my death will make Myrrine miserable, but she lives down, and as long as you are alive, you will always find new hope. Love, friendship, beautiful scenery, delicious food, these things are so beautiful! I believe that Myrrine, she will be able to find the life again Reason, come out of grief, and stand up again!"

Sirius remained silent.

Leonidas shrugged, picked up the bowl of boiled beans and said, "Although I really want to talk more, I still need to prepare for the battle. Nice to meet you, unknown god."

Just as he was about to walk out of the tent, Siris suddenly spoke.

"Leave the food. Also, my name is Siris."

Leonidas laughed, he turned around and put down the bowl: "My name is Leonidas, try it, this is a specialty of our Sparta!"

Siris took a mouthful of the sticky boiled beans, and an expression of lovelessness suddenly appeared on her face.

Leonidas laughed gleefully.

After the laughter, the horn sounded.

"The Persians are here, and I'm going to meet my destiny." Leonidas put on his helmet, tapped his breastplate and said, "Nice to meet you, Siris, I'll let Dionysus come from the path Take you away, may the gods be with you!"

The king of Sparta resolutely walked out of the tent.

Siris didn't look up, but stuffed boiled beans into her mouth, and said with a disgusted face: "Made, broken beans, it doesn't taste good at all!"
