"But this blood will not only flow from your enemies, but also from you. Every time you fight and kill an enemy, you will also have another wound on your body. I can tell you one thing: the God of Strife only wants to see blood shed, not where it comes from."
"The enemy will be dead everywhere, as will the Spartans and Greeks."
He used the famous saying of the K Party to label Ares. Even the Spartans, who were famous for their discipline and silence, could not help but whisper to each other. After all, there were many women and children among the people present.
At this time, the beautiful Queen Gego came out and took the initiative to ask, "Excuse me, what is the blessing of Her Majesty Athena?"
105: This is Sparta (IV)
Al said that it would make you victorious in every battle and would not cost you a heavy price. In fact, the more you fought, the stronger you would become. From then on, from the east to the west, no one would be your enemy. No matter on land or in the sea, no one could compete with Sparta.
Ares only relied on brute force and skill, and El could defeat him on his own. Athena, on the other hand, added wisdom to her strength, combining the two, using the latter to control the former. As long as she did so, victory would surely belong to her.
His words made it even more difficult for the Spartans to choose, and at the same time they felt even more in awe of the "Oracle of Heaven" who boasted, "I can defeat Ares."
The ancient Greeks were very reverent, especially in this world which already had certain magical elements, where gods were believed to exist in reality.
As soon as Ai'er finished his boast, there was neither thunder nor heavy rain in the sky, as if Ares "did not hear" or "acquiesced" or "pretended not to hear" what he said. Any mortal would definitely not dare to speak so arrogantly.
And Al teleported him to the temple of Apollo in space, and the latter also held his "authority" over a group of incompetent insect inspectors for so many years without any action, and believed that there were no real gods in this world, so he acted very arrogantly and was not afraid of divine punishment at all.
Besides, he also praised Athena...
But the god-fearing Spartans still did not dare to make this choice on their own, even though Al's own inclination seemed very obvious. In the end, the queen, who was quick-witted, beautiful and brave, stood up. She walked out of the crowd and knelt in front of Al. Then all the Spartans knelt down again and followed their queen.
Looking at Queen Gogo's thick black bun and graceful figure, Al couldn't help but get excited. He wanted to find a more private place and ask the queen to "Come here! Take off your armor!" - his desire was really too strong, and he basically couldn't live without desire every day. Because after traveling through the world once, he gained a female nurse Anna, and his relationship with Claire and Ada became more stable, so before traveling through the world, he could have sex once a day, seven days a week, one person a day, and everyone would rest on the last day (mainly the women).
After traveling to Sparta, Al had already... Day 2 was almost over and Day 3 was almost over, which made his abundant energy feel restless.
It seems that because the original villain was taken care of by Al, the plot became chaotic and the queen's IQ is much higher than shown in the movie.
On behalf of all Spartans, she respectfully asked the question back to Al.
Ask the angel which god he wants the Spartans to receive blessings from, and they will hope to receive the blessings from that god.
Ai'er then claimed that he had "returned from learning skills" in the East. Because his mother had a close relationship with the goddesses, she took him to the palace on Crete, took him to see Athena, and let him learn the knowledge of Mount Olympus from the goddess of wisdom and victory.
He then learned about Athena's great power and the profound mystery of Athena's "victory through wisdom", which would surely enable Greece to win the war. Naturally, he hoped that the Spartans would choose "Athena's blessing."
So the queen and the elders said they would immediately kill an animal and offer a sacrifice to pray for Athena's blessing.
However, Al shook his head and said that Tingting was not like that. Sacrifice could only gain the temporary attention of the gods, but could not bless permanent victory. To obtain Athena's blessing, the most important thing was to "do it."
He said he had finished his studies
Chapter 447
Athena's wisdom: sometimes battle is not limited to battle, but is "a continuation beyond battle."
The best strategy is to attack their plans, the next best is to attack their alliances, and the next best is to attack their troops...
Those who plan for victory before the battle have made many calculations...
Barbara.
Anyway, I talked about some of the "profound meanings" of ancient and later generations. Of course, they were translated into ancient Greek.
The key point lies in the following part. Al said that the decisive factor of this war is not only on the battlefield, but more importantly off the battlefield. If the Greeks can unite as one, how can they dare to invade the Olympus even though Persia is vast and has rich resources?
The same was true in Sparta. Helots had always been engaged in hard labor to support the Spartans. It was only because of past defeats that they were enslaved from generation to generation. However, human nature is free, and there must be resentment in their hearts. The Spartans seemed to have gained temporary benefits, but because they were afraid of slave uprisings, they did not dare to leave their hometown to travel far to foreign lands even with elite legions.
This twisted relationship is actually like a rope. The Spartans tied up the helots, but were afraid that they would escape, so they tied the other end of the rope to themselves. As a result, the price they paid was that they were also restricted by the helots.
Every time the Spartans went on an expedition, there were only a few hundred of them, but there were thousands of helots. However, the actual combat still depended on the Spartans. Naturally, this was because the Spartans wanted the helots to die and be cannon fodder, and the helots would naturally choose to work without putting in any effort.
If Sparta wants to grow and become stronger, and if it wants to win the war, this situation must be corrected.
Ai'er told the Spartans to promise the 6,000 helots who were accompanying the army that as long as they fought bravely and made military achievements, they and their families would be given freedom.
In this way, these 6,000 helots would have to fight to the death for their freedom and rush to be the first. Although their training was not as good as that of the Spartans, even if the ratio was 2 to 1, 3 to 1, or 6 to 1, they could still replace the role of 3,000, 2,000, or 1,000 Spartan warriors. And the Spartans would not have to pay any price for this. After all, they were going to drag these people to die as cannon fodder. Instead, they would be grateful to Sparta if they survived and were free.
Everyone was talking about it and seemed a little hesitant. After all, the helot system was the "foundation of Sparta" and the "law passed down by ancestors". Now it was suddenly going to be changed. Although what Al said made sense, the Spartans still felt hesitant.
Seeing this, Al "became furious."
He took out a shoulder-fired RPG from the space and fired a shot at the empty Senate not far away.
The flames were accompanied by explosions, like a bolt from the blue.
Al angrily accused the Spartans of being corrupt and unchangeable. They looked like stubborn stones, but were actually hollow inside. If they could not change, they would become corrupt. He said that even the gods changed and the thrones were replaced, so how could mortals remain unchanged forever?
If the Spartans were so stubborn, then the Senate at this moment would be the Spartan city-state a hundred years from now! He used fire and thunder to show the Spartans what it would look like a hundred years from now!
This sudden incident frightened all the Spartans. The beautiful queen looked at the Senate, which was still so disgusting in her eyes just a moment ago... because the senators were against sending troops to support her husband, but the authoritative and sacred Senate now became a "ruin" burning with raging fire - in fact, the effect of the RPG was not so exaggerated, but Al's sudden move was very shocking to these ancient Greeks, so the scene was exaggerated in their eyes.
All the Spartans present were terrified, and those who witnessed this scene were even more convinced of Ai'er's identity as "the oracle of heaven, the savior of the world". They believed that he was a noble person on Mount Olympus, holding the divine weapons forged from Zeus' thunder and Hercules' fire. He must be a demigod, or even a true god!
The elders immediately expressed their willingness to obey His Majesty the Angel's orders. Ancestral rules? Laws?
Angel! God!
It is the greatest law!
Chapter 106: This is Sparta (V)
Chapter 106: This is Sparta (V) (1)
They were completely convinced by everything Al said. No matter what they thought in their hearts, at least they carried out his words without any compromise in their actions.
The helots were assembled, and the Spartan elders informed them of Aiur's instructions.
In this war, helots who obeyed orders and made military achievements (beheadings of one level or above) were freed after the war, and Sparta would recognize their special status as free citizens.
For those who beheaded people of two or more ranks, for each additional military merit, they could designate a relative to be freed with them.
Those who obeyed the order and were not beheaded could also be freed if they continued to serve the Spartans for two years after the war. On this basis, they would be given a relative for each additional year of work.
Under normal circumstances, the helots did not believe the promises of the Spartans, because the latter, for their own safety, would not hesitate to persecute the helots with all kinds of despicable acts in order to reasonably reduce their power.
Deliberate deception and killing were not unheard of, but those who witnessed Ai'er emitting the "Fire of Heracles" and "God's Wrath" were not all Spartans. Among them were some helots who were working nearby at the time. They excitedly called out to their "compatriots" - in fact, the composition of helots was very complex, including descendants of ancient indigenous peoples, prisoners of war, and gains from trade and looting.
But in the humblest class of "slaves", they also developed a common identity among themselves that transcends blood, ethnicity, and geography.
What happened in the preaching square described the
Chapter 448
The description of "Athena's Way of Victory" and the scene where the "Angel" saw the Spartans hesitate and became angry, destroying their senate with thunder and fire...
And the Spartans weren't just talking nonsense this time.
El asked them to bring the representatives of the Helots to the burning Senate, and then went to find a statue of Athena and personally lifted it to the scene with his telekinesis, saying that at this moment, the eyes of the female ruler were already fixed on the scene.
He made both sides swear to Athena and himself that the Spartans must not break their post-war promise to the helots, and that the helots must obey orders and fight bravely on the battlefield, with Athena as witness and El as judge.
Both parties were convinced and knelt down and swore to Al and the statue of Athena behind him that they would never disobey.
Then a strange music suddenly started playing (Al turned on the stereo).
A "fairy" with blonde hair, blue eyes, dressed in pure white and with an emerald wreath on her head suddenly appeared in the middle of the venue, standing beside the statues of El and Athena. There was a flash of confusion on her face, but she quickly got into the mood and remained silent.
Everyone was surprised again.
At this time, Al showed a "very happy" expression, took the fairy's hand, and introduced to everyone present that this was a healing fairy under his mother's command. When she was in Asgard, she could cure nine thousand nine hundred diseases. She had always taken care of him in the past and later returned to Olympus with him. She was now in the realm of Athena. She was sent here. It seems that Athena recognized this "covenant" and sent this healing fairy "Ana" to help the Greeks.
This miraculous scene of a living person naturally deepened everyone's respect for Al.
For hundreds of years, the Spartans may not have been as enthusiastic about going to war as they are today, because there is a "real god" standing shoulder to shoulder with them.
This was even more true for the helots accompanying the army. They had always been used by the Spartans as cannon fodder or as daily consumables. Now they finally saw the dawn of freedom, with "angels" and the goddess Athena as witnesses in front of them. Whether they could regain their freedom depended entirely on the next war. So everyone was full of fighting spirit, and spontaneously, they began to hone their battle formations and fighting skills without the need for their superiors to spur them on. As the saying goes, sharpening a spear before battle will make it brighter even if it is not quick. After seeing that people's hearts were ready, Al called the Spartans again and asked them to send some outstanding instructors to train them specifically.
There was a small episode before the troops were officially dispatched.
That is the "Oracle".
Before this, when the Oracle girl who appeared in the movie was being raped by the monster inspectors one after another, El appeared. El killed the inspectors and then he used the surviving one as a waste and decisively gave her a 9mm bullet.
The oracle girl was "rescued", but of course, it cannot be considered as such, because this poor woman, who was harmed by her own beauty, had her brain damaged by the long-term slavery and violation of the five old monsters and the harm caused by alcoholism and hallucinogens. Even without the effects of drugs or drunkenness, her mental state was not very normal. She kept mumbling and saying things that no one could understand.
She was indeed very good-looking and had a great figure, but Al was a mysophobe, and he couldn't bring himself to touch those old monsters who had been touched by the Inspectors. He felt sorry for their plight, so he told the Spartans about the Oracle being violated by the Inspectors.
However, since the woman had dedicated herself to Apollo, the Spartans could not blame her despite the humiliation she suffered. If she had a family, they would be allowed to return home and be well cared for. If she did not have a family, they would find a loyal and qualified husband for her to marry. The two of them would erect a shrine to Apollo in their home and offer sacrifices to him daily. Similarly, the Spartan "commune" would also provide a special amount of supplies for this family...
After bringing Anna to the world he traveled through, El couldn't help but make a big fuss that night. The queen gave up her and King Leonidas' palace, and she took her children to live in a side room.
This behavior made her scream almost all night long. The nurse Anna, who used the pseudonym "Ana", was almost penetrated by Al all night. The next day, the queen woke up drowsy and hurriedly dealt with the flooding caused by the erotic dream. She then ran to discuss with several close elders. Everyone thought it was feasible, so they came and offered a woman to Al.
Medea.
A beautiful woman who was almost considered a "waiting oracle".
Once the Oracle's appearance ages or she has serious health problems—due to long-term drunkenness and various hallucinogenic substances, as well as being imprisoned and used by five ugly old men—this period of time generally won't be too long.
Those lustful inspectors would abandon the oracle on the grounds that the oracle could no longer gain the favor of the gods and could no longer bring oracles to the people. Then the Spartans would naturally offer them a new oracle.
This kind of thing definitely cannot be found right away. Generally, there will be "preparation" in advance, such as investigating and finding someone who is suitable.
Medea is one such candidate.
She was also quite special. She was not like the average Spartan woman whose duty was to bear children and educate future generations from the moment she was born. She had a certain "adventurous spirit" and was one of the very few Spartan women who had left the city-state. It is said that she had been to Athens and debated with scholars there; she had also been to Magna Graecia and traced the deeds of the legendary demigod Hercules, and finally returned to Sparta. Because of her outstanding appearance and heroic spirit, she was far different from the average Spartan woman, so she was regarded as a candidate for the next oracle.
However, Medea did not want her future fate
Chapter 449
She was imprisoned on Lonely Mountain and tried to escape, but was captured and locked in the dungeon of the palace, waiting for her to change her mind or for the Inspectors to ask for the selection of a new Oracle.
When the queen and the elders learned that El was not aloof and aloof, but a real "human god" with flesh and blood, emotions and desires, they secretly rejoiced:
They finally found a way to please this "God of Destiny".
So Medea was sent over like this.
As for whether Apollo would have any ideas...after all, Medea was not officially "selected", so forget it.
After learning that she was here to serve a "god", Medea felt much less resistant and she also recognized El's charm. However, she still tried to escape that night, but was chased back by the deliberately indulged El.
He found the woman interesting and decided to take her with him on the expedition.
The fifth day after Al's crossing.
Sparta officially formed an army of 8,000 people and rushed to the front line to support King Leonidas at Thermopylae.
However, it was already mid-August, and the Battle of Thermopylae broke out at this time in history. It was unlikely that Sparta's reinforcements would arrive in time.
But this is actually what Al would like to see.
The span between the two films is actually not that long. The Battle of Thermopylae where King Leonidas died took place in August, and the Battle of Salamis, the main focus of the second film, took place in September. After the battle, Xerxes I was afraid that his retreat would be cut off by the Greeks, so he chose to retreat. He came back to invade again the following year, but failed again this time.
Afterward, Xerxes I fell into depravity, indulging in pleasure, and was even murdered by his own vizier in his later years. His death marked the decline of the Achaemenid Empire of Persia. The Greeks, having defeated three consecutive invasions of the far larger Persian Empire, gained immense power and expanded rapidly. The Hellenistic cultural sphere became the undisputed hegemon of the Mediterranean, until this seed matured, giving rise to the behemoth that was Alexander the Great's Macedonian Empire, whose legacy was subsequently plundered by the Latin Romans...
It was about 150 years since Alexander the Great fought the Battle of Thermopylae.
What Al wanted to do was to bring this event forward...
Please take a day
I used up all my leave requests at the beginning of the month.
107: This is Sparta (VI)
He set out with the Spartan coalition forces in great force. In order to strengthen his presence and prestige as much as possible, Ai'er also sent many scattered small troops and messengers to all "all the city-states you can find" to publicize his existence and the crucial "Oracle of Olympus requires mortals to unite and resist the invaders."
Most people may appear excited on the surface, but they don't really believe it in their hearts. Although the Spartans, a powerful and prestigious Greek nation, endorsed the miracle of an "angel bringing an oracle", the ancient Greeks were superstitious and it was not easy for them to believe it without seeing it with their own eyes. They might even suspect that the Spartans wanted to use this opportunity to fight for the position of overlord and leader of Greece?
After all, if one believed that an "angel" had descended upon Sparta and chosen Spartans as his followers and subordinates, then obviously the latter's status would be greatly enhanced.
And what if...all this was a trick played by the Spartans themselves.
Then they will undoubtedly use the so-called "angels" to fight for their own interests. Otherwise, what is their purpose in doing so?
Is it simply a desire to unite the Greeks to deal with a threat that has been identified and whose importance everyone recognizes?
Chapter 106: This is Sparta (V) (2)
There is no need to forge miracles, oracles, angels... If it were exposed, Sparta would undoubtedly be nailed to the pillar of shame of Greek civilization and would be despised and hated by the God-fearing Greeks and other peoples of the Mediterranean.
If the oracle and the angel are true, or Sparta is plotting something big... In either case, they must treat it with caution, as this is a major emergency that is no less threatening than the Persians.
Were the Spartans courting death and trying to seize the power of Greece, or was it really... a true God who had descended to the world?
The Greeks were very superstitious and reverent, and they had absolute faith in the Delphic Oracle. However, in today's world, to be honest, probably 99.999% of people have never actually seen a "miracle."
