The Inquisitor is the Demon King

Temporary mission issued by the government of the time.

Battle of Thermopylae in the Persian War.

This war is familiar to everyone-if I mention it with another keyword.

That is, the three hundred warriors of Sparta.

In 480 BC, King Xerxes I of Persia personally led an army of 30 warships and 1000 ships to invade Greece.The Greek city-states were under enormous pressure, so they joined forces to encircle the city-states.

King Leonidas of Sparta led 300 elite soldiers from his own country and 7000 people from other city-states to defend the first line of defense in Greece - Thermopylae Pass.With just such a small number of people, fighting desperately with hundreds of thousands of Persian troops, the Persians were unable to advance an inch in the first two days and suffered heavy casualties.On the third day, a traitor came out here, and he led the Persians to take a small path to the rear. The Spartan king asked the allied troops to withdraw first, and he and 300 warriors broke up and defended Thermopylae Pass.

After a fierce fight, the king and 300 warriors were all destroyed, but their heroic deeds were handed down and admired by later generations.And at that time, they also won precious time for Greece, thus successfully defeating the mighty Persian Empire.

By the way, Xerxes I is known as an army of one million.

In ancient times, many people liked to call themselves millions or something when they went out to war, but in fact, most of them were only hundreds of thousands.For example, Cao Cao led more than 80 people in the Battle of Chibi that year, claiming to be an army of [-].

This is a tacit little game between the superiors, and it can only be used to coax the mindless people.

But most people actually believed it... 囧.

In the first team, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada, Presser Hasebe, Saya Zuomonji, Yaken Toshiro, Utasen Kanesada, Oda Jinyo.The reason why he brought the drug researcher was his medical ability. The government of the time said that it doesn't matter if they participate in the war this time, as long as they don't move the [-] warriors, it doesn't matter how many soldiers of the Persian Empire die.

"It says that this mission is mainly to protect the King of Sparta and his [-] warriors, but the King of Persia also needs to protect it. I think the pressure on Sparta is greater, of course, this is obvious." Oda Komyo said , "So, I plan to send Xiao Ye to accompany the King of Persia, and the others will accompany me with the King of Sparta. Do you have any objections?"

"Master, what about our identities?" Candlestick Qie Guangzhong asked.

Oda Komyo thought for a while, and said, "Let's say that we are foreigners from Athens, from the east, and then came to help out when we heard the news....Well, let me just call myself noble, and you are the warriors I raised. "

Greece has two famous city-states, Athens and Sparta.Unlike the brilliant and open civilization of Athens, when one mentions Sparta, the first thing that comes to mind is darkness and blood.

It was a dark city-state, and the highly militarized management oppressed every citizen, but they were proud of it.

The Battle of Thermopylae, of course, was a cruel and tragic war.

Being able to participate in it, I faintly feel the blood boiling.

300 people, and finally the Persian Empire paid the price of 2 people.

——What a terrible result.

The [door] opened, and a group of people walked into it one after another.

The sky is spinning, and the battlefield is full of blood and flesh.Severed limbs, broken flesh, the wail of the Persians and the roar of the Spartans.

Before Oda Kindai stood still, a Persian slashed at him with a sword. Yaken Toshiro leaped high and plunged his short sword into the back of the opponent's neck, with a scarlet smile on the corner of his mouth, "Even the hilt was inserted."

"Nice job." Oda Kamyo praised, then used the scabbard to hold a Persian's slash, and said, "Go ahead and do what you want to do. Persians are like ants, they can't be killed. .”

"Yes, my lord." Several people did not have time to salute, because a large number of Persians had already surrounded them.

Only Saya Zuomonji stood quietly beside Oda Komyo, Oda Komyo nodded to him, he lowered the brim of his hat skillfully to avoid the place of the battle, and walked deep into the Persians.

The Spartan soldiers attacked with spears. If the spear was broken, they drew out their swords and slashed. If the sword was damaged, they picked up the enemy's sword and continued to attack.

The fierce battle didn't last long. The Persians were terrified by Sparta's ferocious and powerful aura, and they kept retreating. In the end, they turned into a disgraceful rout under the roar of the Spartans.

On the mountain road they fled, countless Persian corpses were left behind.

The leading Spartan general looked at the fleeing Persians tauntingly, then raised his arms with a serious expression, struck the shield with his sword, and shouted: "Spartans, salute my king!"

"pay tribute!"

"Salute to the brothers who died!"

"pay tribute!"

"Hail to our city-state!"

"pay tribute!"

"For Sparta and freedom! Fight to the death!"

"Fight to the death!"

Heroic, honorable, brave, heroic, a Spartan born for war.

There are two famous sayings in Sparta:

The first sentence: The Spartans don't ask how many enemies there are, only where they are!

The second sentence: The chest of a Spartan man is the wall of Sparta, and the head of a Spartan man is the border of Sparta's land.

On the first day of the bloody battle, the Persian attack was completely smashed, but Sparta lost only three warriors.

Oda Komyo and the others were completely exposed to the sight of the Spartans after the Persians retreated. Sparta sent a soldier to communicate with them, and Oda Komyo said the words he had prepared. The general received them soon.

"Welcome, my friends," said the general. "Now is the time for lack of people. Our king was injured last night by the devil summoned by the enemy wizard, so he cannot come to see you. On behalf of Sparta, I would like to express my respect to you." Thank you very much." He didn't look down on Oda Kamyo because she was a woman, because women in Sparta were as brave and good at fighting as men.

In Sparta, if the baby was born weak, it would be abandoned immediately, and even girls had to undergo brutal military training-the Spartans believed that only strong mothers could give birth to strong warriors.

And in times of crisis, those women would also take up arms and go to the battlefield.

The mothers of Sparta were also very brave and strong. When they sent their sons to the battlefield, they would not wish him a safe return, but gave him a shield and said, "Either hold it or lie on it."

It means to return with a shield in glory and victory, or to die in battle and be carried back with a shield.

After hearing the general's words, Oda Komyo's eyes darkened for a moment.

King Leonidas injured?And the devil summoned by the enemy wizard?Since it does not conform to historical facts, it must be the ghost of the time retrograde army.

"Can I go to see the king with my subordinates?" Oda Kamidai gave Yaken a look, and Yaken immediately walked to her side, and then she said, "He is the best doctor."

"But..." the general hesitated.

"You can watch from the side how we treat the king. If we make a slight change, you can do it." Oda Komyo said readily.

In the end the general agreed, but he was not polite, but really let the warriors surround the fusangshen.Candlestick Kirimitada told Oda Komyo in private that these Spartan soldiers were amazingly powerful and possessed divine power. He felt that he could face up to three people at the same time, and if he had one more person, he would probably be defeated.

The Spartans are really strong.

Leonidas' injuries were astonishing, and large areas of his skin had turned black.Oda Kindai recognized at a glance that this was the result of being invaded by the divine power of the time-traveling army. It seems that there is another reason why the general agreed to her, that is, the king really couldn't hold on anymore, so he simply treated the dead horse as a living horse.

Yaken brought a lot of potions this time, and Oda Komyo directly ordered the Spartan soldiers to strip their king naked, and then began to extract the tainted divine power from him.It didn't do any harm to the body, the only side effect was the pain. Leonidas opened his eyes halfway through the pumping, and the general next to him grabbed his hand with almost tears in his eyes, and shouted directly, "I king!"

"If you dare to cry, I'll goug out your eyes," said Leonidas in a weak voice.

"I'm very sorry, my king." The general opened his eyes wide, trying to calm his emotions, and then he said as if to divert his attention, "These are foreigners from Athens, from the east, and they came here specially to help."

"First meeting, King of Sparta, I'm Oda Komyo. To be precise, we came here for the monster that hurt you last night." Oda Komyo said, "That monster will appear again later, and It is estimated that there will be more.”

Yaoken Fujishiro on the side was a little bit emotional, he could grasp a lot of information through just a few words from the other party, and directly reset his identity, so as to make his identity more perfect.Really worthy of being the Lord.

Leonidas sat up immediately, "How much more?"

"I don't know the details... Please continue to lie down, my treatment has not been completed." Oda Jindai said, "But please rest assured, my profession is a wizard, and they are my enemies. Just give it to us, I won't let your soldiers break down on that filthy thing. Sorry about that though, it means we need to conserve energy, so maybe fighting alongside you guys to kill Persia Humans can’t do that.”

"It doesn't matter, you have been of great help," Leonidas said.

This time there is no loophole in the identity.After Oda Jindai drained all the tainted divine power, Yakuken began to administer medicine to Leonidas.he thought silently.It doesn't matter if you don't help the Spartans kill the Persians, the Lord has already thought of everything.

That night, Oda Shindai and his party were warmly welcomed by the Spartans.

They set up a bonfire, ate large pieces of meat, drank low-purity sweet wine, and sang Spartan war songs for their friends from afar.

"This is a toast to our friends!" The general raised his glass and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you can eat with your stomachs open, there is enough grain here!"

The surrounding warriors also laughed.

This is the food stock of thousands of people, and 300 people will eat it, of course it is enough.

After hearing this, Oda Komyo felt a little bit stuck, but the Spartans didn't seem to care at all, and even thought it was a very interesting thing.

"You are really stronger than our women." The general looked familiar, and said to Oda Shindai, "I heard that he saw you in the afternoon and thought you would be killed by the Persians. , As a result, you stabbed the Persian to death with your backhand, and he was so shocked that his shield was almost cut off in half."

"Thank you." Oda Shinyo said with a smile.

The general scratched his head and messed up his pigtails.

He was not good with women, especially non-Spartan women.

His mind was full of various thoughts. He heard that Eastern women are very reserved, and that some Eastern women would be trained as assassins... Then he saw a few figures swaying past.The corner of his mouth twitched, and he growled, "Get dressed for me, stop walking the birds, didn't you see that we have female guests here!"

The so-called clothes are just pants, they are topless.

Those Spartan soldiers immediately ran away with their shields covering their lower bodies.

The companion next to him laughed mercilessly.

Oda Kinyo couldn't help but smile too.

And the general was stunned for a moment, then said dully, "You look so pretty when you smile."

His face seemed a little red in the light of the fire.

Oda Komyo was also taken aback, and then she said generously: "Thank you." Then she got up, leaned over to kiss his face, and said, "This is a reward for the brave."

General:! ! !

Ten minutes later, he found Leonidas, the king of Sparta, and asked seriously: "My king, what do you think should be the name of the child of me and Miss Oda?"

King of Sparta:? ? ?

cough.

At this moment, there was a commotion over there. It turned out that the messenger of the Persian king Xerxes arrived. He said that if Leonidas was willing to surrender, then the Persian king could make him the king of all Greece instead of Sparta. .

Leonidas laughed and replied: "If you know what is most precious in this life, you will not be coveting what others have; for me, it is better to die for Greece than to be my nation." The leader is more important!"

"Oh!" The Spartan warriors next to them shouted for their king.

"How does it feel?" Oda Komyo asked the candlestick beside him, Mitsutada softly.

"How lucky to be able to meet such a person and fight side by side." Candlestick Qie Guangzhong said.

"I feel the same way." Oda Shinyo nodded.

Feeling their blood and glory up close, this feeling... really...

Soon after, Xerxes sent a second messenger with an ultimatum for the Spartans to surrender.Leonidas replied scornfully: "Want? Come and get them."

The warriors next to him also sneered.

The Persian envoy went back in disgrace.

The Spartans held a banquet again.

Soon after, there was a second commotion.

"What? Has the Persian envoy come again?" Leonidas asked the people around him, who immediately stood up and checked, and then said:

"No, my king, it's that restless guy from Enpalos who wants to compete with others, that is, the oriental man wearing the blindfold."

"Really? Interesting, let's go and have a look."

"Hoohoho!"

"Haha, Empalos, don't lose face to the Spartans!"

"Hey brother, let's see your Eastern sword skills!"

"Hahaha Empalos, you're still wearing a shield."

The sound of laughter came from a distance, and the Spartans formed a circle, with Candlestick Qie Guangzhong and the soldier named Empalos in the middle.Empalos was stepping on his feet, and he was circling around the candlestick, obviously looking for an opportunity.

The laughter around him made him a little impatient, so he threw the shield aside and shouted, "It's okay for me to throw the shield!"

It was too late to say it, and at that moment, the candlestick cut Guangzhong's sword out of its sheath.Empalos immediately blocked the attack with his sword. He thought it should be easy, but he felt the numbness of the tiger's mouth for a long time.

He instantly understood that this time he had encountered a hard problem.

The battle between the two was burning, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada clicked softly, "The opponent's hit value is about to catch up with Odachi."

The strong muscles of the Spartan warrior had a bronze-like metallic luster, and the red cloak behind him set off a gust of flames.Not a metaphor, it's real.The scorching heat brought by the burning divine power made Candlestick Kiriguang Tadao squint his eyes.

The tip of the sword turned slightly, the shining metal had a life-threatening luster, his golden eyes opened suddenly, and the crazy flames with overwhelming fighting spirit were also dancing.Pressing down hard with both hands, Candlestick Kiri Mitsuchu's mouth showed a maniacal smile, "But my strike value is also among the best among the swords—"

The high temperature scorched the skin and brought a tingling feeling, and when he pressed the blade down, he felt the opponent's divine power stagnate for a moment.Candlestick Qie Guangzhong immediately backed up and jumped up high. Sure enough, the opponent suddenly withdrew the knife and stabbed him in the lower body. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he must have been stabbed in the leg.

The martial arts of the Spartan warriors are indeed terrifying.

But with one miss, he had already lost his chance.

"And this level of flame is far worse than that of the Lord."

The smile on Candlestick Cut Guangzhong's face became more and more mad, and when he swung the knife again, the opponent couldn't resist it at all, and it seemed that he was just holding on.

"Okay, Mitsutada." Said Oda Shinyo, who was watching the battle.

"Yes, my lord." Candlestick Qie Guangzhong took a step back and exited the battlefield. He was about to habitually say a few polite words to his opponent when he was grabbed by the wrist by the Spartan next to him.

Eh... Is this for revenge... But he didn't feel the murderous intent, did he?

Then another person also grabbed his wrist, and another person hugged his waist.

Candlestick Cut Guangzhong: What the hell?

In the next second, he was lifted up by a group of people, thrown directly into the air, caught, and thrown high again.

"This is...?" Oda Kinyo asked beside him.

The general explained: "Emperos is the number one warrior of the Royal Guard,... Well, of course, he is a little worse than me."

"Is this their congratulations on his victory?" Oda asked.

"Well, but under normal circumstances, uh, look..."

Candlestick Qie Guangzhong enjoyed it, and then after being thrown high, all the people below ran away suddenly, so he was caught off guard and his back and butt came into intimate contact with the ground.

The people around laughed and slipped away, Candlestick cut his face black, drew out his knife and ran after them.

"...that's what it is," said the general awkwardly. "Part of the custom."

Oda Jinyo couldn't help laughing again.

The happy time always passed quickly, and most of the Spartans found a place to sleep, but they still held on to their spears or sabers.Oda Komyo and Fusangshin were standing not far from them talking, they didn't plan to sleep these days, just use their divine power to support them.

"Tomorrow, I will stand behind their shield wall and not participate in the battle, so if you have any questions, you can come to me directly." Oda Shindai said, "Gaxian, you go to guard the King of Sparta, if you have time to go back to the army Kill them if they come, and help him if any Persian soldiers attack him."

"Yes, my lord." Kasen Kanesada said.

"Pharmaceutical research, pressing and cutting, you guys tomorrow—forget it, tonight, you will climb up the mountain over there later, and find a foothold on the mountainside, so you can overlook the entire battlefield. If you see the shadow of the time-traveling army Just attack immediately. Don't love to fight after eliminating them, immediately return to your original positions and continue to observe." Oda Komyo said.

"Yes, my lord." They also bowed and saluted.

"Okay, you guys go first." Oda Shinyo said, "Gaxian, remember to stay with the King of Sparta."

"Understood." Kasen Kanesada said.

The three of them left, so only Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada and Oda Shindai were left here.

"Are you curious why I didn't assign you a task?" Oda Shindai asked first.

"I believe the Lord has his own plan." Candlestick Qie Guangzhong said.

"Hmm... your words sound very smart." Oda Shinyo said.

"Thank you Lord..."

"But it's really nonsense," she continued.

Candlestick Qie Guangzhong twitched the corners of his mouth, "Thank you, Lord."

"Your 'thank you' makes me feel like you're saying 'thank you all' again." Oda Shindai spit out.

"Uh, isn't thanking the whole family a very prudent gift?" Candlestick Qie Guangzhong asked.

"...Is this a cultural barrier?" Oda Kinyo asked.

"Ah, is that...?"

"It's like, if I say, I'm your father—would you think it's my kindness?" Oda asked.

"...This is really uncool. As a girl, my lord, you should stop saying that." Candlestick Kiri Guangzhong seemed to have gotten the meaning of the other party.

"Okay." Oda Komyo said kindly, "Then, I'm your father."

Candlestick cut Guangzhong: "...the point is not this, my lord."

"Oh yes, I want to say that this is a curse word, and the sentence just now was actually a curse word." Oda Komyo said, "Well, that's not the point, we seem to be digressing."

Speaking of this, words like "I rely on" and "Wow" are actually very bad. "Wa Sai" was originally a swear word in Taiwanese Hokkien, "Wa" is "I", and "Sai" is a verb expressing sexual behavior, and you can understand the extended meaning.

"So, what is the Lord's plan for me?" Candlestick Qie Guangzhong said.

"You get along well with the Spartans." Oda Komyo didn't say it directly, but said so.

The daytime of the bloody battle, the beautiful dusk, and the night covered everything but made Hot Spring Pass look a little more peaceful.On a moonless night, even the wind seemed to turn blue.The wind blows over the gravel, making them roll and make a sound.

There are also crows in the distance, and the sounds of various birds. They know that there are a lot of sweet flesh and blood here for them to feast on, but the murderous aura here is too amazing. Unwilling to tweet.

A thin layer of moonlight seemed to be falling on Oda Komyo's body, and as she walked, the moonlight swayed like light and dark shadows on her body like flowing water.She walked up to Candlestick Qie Guangzhong, raised her face and said to him, "You have no mission these days, you can rest on the side, or you can join their shield wall, or fight the enemy side by side with them."

Candlestick cut Guangzhong showed an obvious expression of surprise.

"This is a privilege I give you, maybe only once, you decide for yourself." Oda Komyo slightly raised the corners of his lips and said, "I know you like them very much, if you let you sit by and watch, you probably won't feel good .”

Oda Jindai did this mainly for three reasons.

The first reason is what she just said, the psychological considerations for candlesticks.

The second reason was mentioned by the government. It doesn’t matter if some Persian soldiers were killed by mistake this time, there are too many of them.

The third reason is that in this chaotic battlefield, it is very difficult to find the time retrograde army - besides, Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada's mobility value itself is not high, so its role is extremely limited.

So, to sum up, Oda Komyo simply let Candlestick Kiri Mitsutada do what he likes.

"Thank you, Lord!" Candlestick Cut Guangzhong saluted solemnly and said.

If this is an RPG game, then from the player's perspective, you must be able to see the notice that Candlestick Kirimitada's loyalty has increased significantly.

Sure enough, there was a few hours in the night when the retrograde army came to sneak attack, and they quickly dealt with those guys, trying not to cause trouble to the Spartan warriors as much as possible.

The bloody battle at Hot Springs, the next day.

On this day, Xerxes, king of Persia, sent his most elite imperial army "Immortals". He thought that he would need to use his elite soldiers to capture the last Athens in Greece, but he did not expect that a small Thermopylae Pass, unexpectedly It will be used.

The terrain of Hot Spring Pass is narrow, and only one chariot can pass through.It can be said that it is a situation where one man is in charge of the gate and ten thousand men are not open.It is the only passage from northern Greece to the south, so it is very important.

The Persian king had no choice but to use the advantage of numbers to launch waves of attacks in an attempt to crush the Spartans.

After all, ants can eat elephants.

Moreover, Persian soldiers were not mobs, but elite soldiers who made the whole world tremble.

Oda Kindai stood beside Leonidas overlooking the army at the foot of the mountain. There were densely packed black infantrymen with identical silver masks on their faces, uniform steps, and bright armor shining in the sun. ——Persia's most elite legion, the Immortals.They carried double knives and wore terrifying masks. After joining the Immortals, they destroyed their faces and bid farewell to their past selves.

This is a fearsome army.

However, the Spartans could handle it.

It is recorded in the history books: the king of Persia made a mistake, and he lost his patience when he stumbled at Thermopylae. He sent his elite legion when the Spartans were not injured and tired, so this battle is still the same. will fail.

Yes, even the most elite legions of Persia were only fit to fight a tired and wounded Spartan.

For them now, no.

Is it strong?Yes, powerful.

Strong body, honorable spirit, courage to fight or die. ——This is the Spartans, a nation born for war.

King Leonidas of Sparta ordered his men to pile up the corpses of the Persians who died yesterday, so what was displayed in front of the immortal was a high wall made of corpses.

The high wall of corpses and blood... is really terrifying.

There has been a commotion among the Immortals.

But of course this was of no use in defense, but immediately after, Leonidas asked everyone to join him in pushing down the wall of corpses.Looking at the overwhelming pile of corpses pouring towards them, the hearts of the immortals were no longer simply "lying in a big trough".

These are the corpses of his colleagues.

In the first confrontation, the morale was killed a lot.

Then, the war began.

Fighting, blood, but no whine.

Neither the Immortals nor the Spartans are warriors, so neither of them would make that noise so far.

After the Spartan shield wall was breached, Leonidas drew his sword and gave the order to fight freely, and at the same time, this was the beginning of chaos.

——The sword of Oda Jinyo was also out of its sheath.

She has seen war, of course she has seen such a cruel war.In fact, there is something more cruel, that is, a group of samurai clenched their swords and rushed towards the enemy with guns, and then all died on the way.

"For Sparta——!!!"

The Spartans around were roaring, slashing, charging, and dying.

The Immortals were relatively silent, but they didn't retreat the slightest bit.

Meet on a narrow road, the brave wins.

Inevitably, Oda Kindai was also involved, and she approached Leonidas while slaying the Persians.Whether it is Kasen Kanesada or Leonidas, they are very conspicuous on this battlefield. The former is dressed like an elegant troubadour, and the latter burns like a fire.

Fight, fight, fight.

It seems that there is not much skill to speak of, but he held his breath in his heart and did not fall down.

But it seems that the Spartans have stronger beliefs.

The first deserter among the Immortals appeared, followed by the second, and the third... The Spartan warriors seemed to have flames burning in their eyes. They did not chase, but raised themselves high at the pass weapons, roaring:

"Sparta! Invincible!"

Sparta is invincible, and Sparta's opponent is only itself.

For on the third day of the bloody battle a Greek betrayed them by telling the king of Persia that there was a path leading behind Thermopylae.

How sad that the death of a warrior should be covered with such dust.

The next day passed like this.

On the second night, the Spartans looked very tired, but everyone's morale was good.The general's leg was injured. Such a serious injury should have left the battlefield, but he asked Leonidas: "My king, please put me in the first row of the shield wall tomorrow."

Leonidas looked deeply into his eyes, and already understood the decision in the heart of this friend who had accompanied him since childhood.

So he agreed.

In the first battle the next day, the young general raised his spear at the enemy while shouting "Sparta", and then his chest was pierced.He laughed and grabbed the opponent's arm, then pulled out the saber with his hand and inserted it into the opponent's throat.

"Long live Sparta!" he finally yelled, contented satisfaction on his face.

"Long live Sparta!" The remaining 200 Spartan warriors also shouted together.

Oda Kindai raised his hand to block Leonidas. After repelling the wave of Persians, the King of Persia's attack temporarily stopped, and the Spartans got a moment of respite.

"It's almost over." Oda Kinyo whispered.

She's talking about missions, but she's also talking about Spartans.

In the end, it was still Leonidas who witnessed the death.

When his chest was pierced, Oda Komyo felt his heart twitch violently.Then he turned his head and met her eyes.

"What's next for Greece...?" he asked.

After hearing this, Oda Kindai immediately understood that Leonidas had already guessed their origin.

"It will be good," she said. "The Persian Empire will be defeated in the end, and you will be remembered in history."

Leonidas closed her eyes with a gratifying smile on her face.

A soul-stirring epic, the Battle of Thermopylae, the three hundred warriors of Sparta.

Mission - over.

-
