[Greek mythology] Born to be arrogant

The king of Persia was wounded by a boulder.

When he came to Diana limping and being supported by his own soldiers, followed by dozens of strong and strong Spartan men, who occasionally kicked the King of Persia's ass to express his dissatisfaction, The long-suppressed anger finally turned into...

Speechless.

The King of Persia stared blankly at Diana, frowning for a while and muttering to himself. The weird Persian sounded the same to Diana as the Atlantean language, perhaps with a little Egyptian element of unknown meaning added. .When the King of Persia waved his hand and grabbed an interpreter, and the interpreter tremblingly said to her, "I hope I can talk to you alone", Diana came to her senses.

She tentatively asked in Egyptian: "Ramesses?"

The King of Persia stiffened for a moment, but he didn't say yes or no.

The surrounding Spartan soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling that they were a burden beside the Temple of the Goddess—because they couldn't understand.

Diana tentatively asked in Thessaly language: "I heard that the ultimate goal of the King of Persia is this strange effect?"

The King of Persia waved his hand, indicating that he did not understand.

Diana waved her hand: "...Poor communication, take it away."

"and many more!"

The King of Persia finally spoke, but in pure Spartan, "I think we need to talk."

"Talk? Talk about what? Talk about how you invaded the Kingdom of Sparta?" Diana became angry.Regardless of whether the King of Persia has anything to do with Ramses, it is a fact that he invaded Sparta.

Persian King Xerxes frowned, and a strange embarrassment flashed across his dark face.

Diana lowered her head and carved something on a small clay tablet, and said to him: "There is an ancient oriental proverb called, 'When two countries are at war, do not kill them'. Your Excellency Xerxes, although I don't understand why you I insist on being this 'commander', but you can go."

"'Han'?" The King of Persia spit out a strange syllable.

Diana temporarily put down the small clay tablet in her hand, her expression changed slightly.

That's right, it is indeed "Han".

At the same moment when the King of Persia invaded Thermopylae and the Spartan warriors fought to the death, the ancient Eastern Empire ushered in their most powerful dynasty.Diana suddenly suspected that Xerxes had fought with Dongfang, otherwise he would not know Dongfang so well.

"I want Sparta." Xerxes said in a blunt tone.

"It can't be done."

"I want Sparta." Xerxes' tone was cold and stiff, "I want Thessaly, Ephesus, Thermopylae, Magnesia..." He was rambling on counting his future battles Planning, with a flash of obstinate fanaticism in his eyes, "...the last one is the sanctuary of light, Delphi."

Diana felt a chill in her heart.

The surrounding Spartan warriors had drawn their swords in unison, and Leonidas looked at Xerxes with a look of foolishness.

Who would tell the enemy all about his plan of aggression?

Except the fool Xerxes.

Diana didn't laugh because she didn't think it was funny.

Thessaly was the place where she was born in her first reincarnation, and where she and Ramses first met; Ephesus, Thermopylae, Magnesia, and now Sparta... They are all sanctuaries under her name, and everyone in those places respects her as the supreme god; as for Delphi, it was the place where Ramses and Apollo made a bet.

If it is said that Xerxes has nothing to do with Ramses, even if Diana is killed, he would not believe it.

But Xerxes' expression didn't look like he was pretending, it seemed that he really didn't know her, and he didn't know who Ramses was.

"...King Xerxes."

Diana spoke slowly, "Why did you come to see me in person?"

If it was because those big rocks hurt his subordinates, then he could send a noble envoy to negotiate with her.

If it was because he wanted to see her, then he could have rushed up the cliff and smashed the Moon God Temple with his army... although it would cause more casualties.

But now, Xerxes had at most twenty soldiers whose weapons had been confiscated, and he himself was limping in an extremely embarrassing situation.Want to give in to her?What a joke, how could the King of Persia, who swept the world, retreat because of this little setback?

Diana was annoying and messy.

She almost instinctively determined that Xerxes was related to Ramses, just as Xerxes ran over to her inexplicably to talk about old times.

"Her Majesty." Xerxes stepped forward a few steps, bent slightly, and said in a very sincere tone, "I want to compete with you in a dignified manner."

Diana set her sights on Leonidas.

Leonidas immediately half-kneeled beside Diana, lowering his head slightly: "Your Highness orders." He played very well under the radiance of Her Majesty the past few days, and he clearly knew that Her Majesty would come down to command the three teams. A team of hundreds of warriors is much better than his own brute force.

Diana nodded slowly, "Well", "I promise."

----

The so-called fight in an upright manner, Diana thought it was a joke.

The Persian king brought at least 8 people, plus those who transported food, grass and supplies, there were at least [-] to [-].Just relying on the three hundred warriors of Sparta to go head-to-head with the opponent is undoubtedly courting death.

Diana's first order to Leonidas is: defend Thermopylae.

That narrow pass can only pass through four or five teams at most, and the narrowest place can only be passed by a single person.The more than [-] troops of the King of Persia are a joke in front of Hot Spring Pass, and [-] warriors are enough to guard this pass tightly.

For Leonidas, Diana was at ease.

This king can be said to be the last conscience of Sparta. Even if three hundred warriors died in battle, he would fight against Xerxes with spears like hedgehogs all over his body.After Diana taught a Spartan soldier how to use a trebuchet, she began to think of a new method.

No matter how dangerous the terrain is and how advanced the weapons are, it is always a fantasy for 300 people to fight against 13 people.

Diana has already begun to appeal to the surrounding city-states for help in the name of the King of Sparta.After earnestly explaining the truth of "dead lips and cold teeth", soldiers from three or two small countries finally arrived late.Although the mosquito legs are as small as meat, when Diana saw their frail bodies, rusty weapons, and weak slogans, she resolutely gave up the plan of joint confrontation.

After all, he is not his own person, so it is quite difficult to use.

The only good thing is that Hera finally calmed down and did not trouble Diana anymore, which made Diana feel very relieved.No matter how much the Greeks fight in groups, it is the Greeks' own business. The Persian king aggressively invaded the Greek city-states, and that is the business of the whole of Greece.If Hera makes trouble again, she will be a god of the Greeks in vain.

Diana counted the time day by day, the more she counted, the more she smiled.

Because the terrible end of the world in the previous life, the twilight of the gods, just slipped away without a sound, not even the slightest sound was left.Although the gods are still arguing fiercely in the Temple of Order, and even though Apollo is still confronting that fateful opponent in the dream... But the future is already bright.

Facts have proved that Diana's idea is too simple.

After her No.30 commanded the Spartans to block Xerxes' attack for the second time, there was rumbling thunder in the sky, and then it began to rain heavily.Cracks gradually appeared on the ground, and even the dead volcano that had been silent for a long time began to erupt...

In an instant, the sky fell apart.

Diana rushed out of the Moon Temple and stood on a high cliff looking at Olympus.She remembered that in her previous life, the sky was scorched black and the earth was curled. The endless sky fire burned the whole world and rearranged the rules of the whole world; now it's just louder thunder, more rain, and frequent earthquakes A little bit, it seems that it has not reached the level of heaven and earth.

She only thought for a moment before she understood: the gods had awakened.

The main gods who were sent into dreams by her with moonlight gems finally woke up in a 200-year-long calculation of rules. 200 years is neither long nor short for God, but it is enough to cause a Trojan War and a Battle of Thermopylae to break out on earth.Of course the gods had no idea what a terrible crisis they had just escaped, except Diana herself.

She waited and watched the sky for a while, then continued to call Leonidas, and began to arrange the next battle plan.Diana was not talking about war on paper. In her previous life... I don't remember which time it was. Anyway, before she was reborn, she had been reincarnated countless times. She was a general or a soldier at least seven times. She knew the rules on the battlefield very well.

Gods who have lived for thousands of years, no matter how stupid they are, can still have a little more experience than humans.

Leonidas admired Her Majesty the goddess so much that even the slightest bit of dissatisfaction at the beginning disappeared.Her Majesty is right, every Spartan warrior is extremely precious, and must be exchanged for as many Persian soldiers as possible.Of course, the unprecedented earthquake just took the lives of 39 Spartan soldiers and the souls of more than 3 Persian soldiers.

Persian King Xerxes had ordered to rest on the spot, and the remaining Spartan warriors silently packed up the bones of their companions.

No cheers, no wailing.

The cruelty of war has left the deepest imprint on everyone's heart.What they are eagerly looking forward to now is to end the war as soon as possible and return to their hometown as soon as possible.
