Lake lived in Sparta for another six months. During the six months, his father-in-law successfully completed the selection of 3,000 elite youths in Sparta, and all of them made weapons and started training.

His wife, the little queen, has also formed a Spartan women's army of more than 300 people with her unremitting efforts and continuous lobbying in the imperial city. However, the strength of the 300-year-old women's army is a bit horrible. There are girls in their six or seven years old, and aunts in their forties. The oldest one is a long-lived old lady in her sixties.

One day, Lake went to see his queen training soldiers. The little queen took her girls, aunts and children's troupe to practice in a large open space behind the square.

In the little queen's team, there are more than a dozen old ladies practicing swords there, and Lake found that one old lady's sword skills are quite fast.

Auntie, you are so old, why do you still come to join the women's army? You are very good at swordsmanship, who did you learn from? Lake couldn't help but stepped forward and asked the old lady. It's not a hidden world expert or something.

My respected king, I stayed at home and had nothing to do, so my children introduced me to come here, saying that it can exercise my body, and wielding a knife a few times a day makes me feel much younger.

You said this knife method is what I use when I cut meat and cook! said the wrinkled old lady holding a kitchen knife.

Lake laughed dryly after hearing this, because the military budget is not enough, Lake has not injected any funds into his little queen yet.

Now for the training of the women's army, they are all holding the weapons they brought from home.

Lake looked at these old women in their fifties, and wondered if their bodies would survive until eight years later, when King Xerxes of Persia led an army of one million to come.

But it seems that even if they can make it through, after more than eight years, they may even struggle to run, let alone go to the battlefield.

In the evening, when he returned to the bedroom, Lake had a conversation with his little queen, and wanted the queen to stop training aunts under seven and over fifty.

They all have the heart of a female warrior. Warriors are regardless of age. The older the warrior, the richer the experience, and the younger the warrior, the more worthy of training. Don't look down on the elderly and children. The little queen directly rejected Lake's proposal. up.

What if she managed to recruit more than 300 people, if the children and the elderly were removed, the number could be reduced by half.

The little queen was still thinking about forming her legion of three thousand queens of Sparta. She even had someone embroider the flag of the legion, which was a ferocious phoenix.

But the disgusting king, Venerable No. 2 looked at the flag and insisted that it was a turkey.

My lord, when will I also provide some weapons to my women's army.

The 3,000 elite male soldiers formed by my father are now equipped with new shields, spears, and swords. I don’t want much, so it’s okay to equip me with some knives first! Since a few days ago, the little queen accompanied Lake to her father's barracks. After watching the training of the male soldiers, the little queen asked Lake every day for weapons.

And the little queen is very persistent, she wants a weapon on the bed and a weapon under the bed, and she has to mention it to Lake five or six times a day.

Lake looked at the cute and beautiful face of the little queen, and thought that he was the one who suggested the little queen to form the Three Thousand Women's Army.

And every time the little queen is soft and hard, she asks for a weapon, and it's not easy for Lake to turn his face.

Lake is also worried now. At the beginning of the establishment of this army, it still felt that there was a lot of gold looted from the elders and councilors.

But only half a year has passed,

That batch of gold was almost spent. Most of them bought more than 3,000 sets of new weapons and paid the food and military pay of 3,000 male soldiers.

Lake knew that if he got more gold coins, the three thousand warriors of Sparta would probably be disbanded by the end of the year, and they would all go home to farm.

Now that Lake doesn't even have the money to pay for male soldiers, how can he care about his queen's female soldiers.

My king, why don't you convene another meeting, invite the three elders from the temple on the mountain, and ask them to donate some gold coins to the gods? The little queen suggested to Lake.

Lake shook his head with a wry smile, It's useless, I had a meeting last month, and I invited those three old fellows from the temple to come down, they have learned to be smart now, and even learned to pretend to be sick, saying that they are seriously ill, no It is convenient to go down the mountain, and I can make all the decisions.

And it's only been half a year, if they go to search the personal coffers of the congressmen again, it will probably arouse their rebellion. At that time, I, the king of Sparta, should be abolished by the congressmen.

What should I do, my lord? People still want weapons. My Spartan elite group of 300 women has been established for half a year, and they are still training with kitchen knives and sticks! The little queen continued. At first, he looked pitiful and nagged at Lake.

Lake also had a big head. Since Sparta couldn't solve the military expenditure issue, Lake could only turn his target to Sparta's other small neighboring countries in Greece.

Of course, although launching a war is the easiest way to obtain wealth, Lake also knows that his Spartan country has too small a population base. Once it falls into a war, it will be difficult to recover within a few years.

And the Greek Civil War will weaken the strength of Greece as a whole.

More than eight years later, when the Persian army arrived, it was difficult for the Greeks to unite again.

God, the god gave me new inspiration. The god asked me to travel around Greece to perform miracles and let more believers collect donations to build Odin's golden body. Lake stood up with a solemn expression on his face. talking.

My king, don't start a war, that's not our original intention! The little queen persuaded nervously when she heard what Lake said. She was afraid that because she was too eager to ask for weapons, she forced No. 2 Venerable instead. Their king went to war, and she would also become a sinner of Sparta.

My queen, you have misunderstood me.

I am not going to war, I will visit my neighbors as a peaceful king of Sparta.

This is the friendship visit between countries. I will work hard by the way to try to make more people believe in gods. Lake said with a smile, and raised his hand to pat the little queen's head to reassure her.

The identity of the peaceful Spartan king? You can get back the military salary just by visiting around, do you want me to go with you? The queen said with some worries and doubts.

If you want to go, go together, treat it as a tour, and take you to other neighboring countries to learn more.

But before I go, I have to prepare and meet some caravan leaders. said Lake.

The little queen on the side nodded. She didn't quite understand what Lake said, but as long as it wasn't a war, it would be fine to get military expenses.
