The five hundred and twelfth chapter [Ding Persia four]
When a thousand Spartan warriors wearing fine armor and holding heavy shields were also successfully suppressed by the elite soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, Artes knew that the general situation was irreversible. However, he did not have much hatred for the Qin army in front of him. Instead, he was full of respect for this Chinese army from the East, just like the leader of the Spartans, Semonti, the leader of the Spartans.
Greeks were born proud because they had the most advanced civilization in the world. They had the sun-bright "civil rights" as bright as the sun during the Athenian democratic politics. Even though this democracy was built on the basis of dirty slavery and discrimination against women, they also maintained sufficient advancedness. At least before encountering another advanced civilization from the East, the Greeks looked at Persia like a lion who had survived dozens of winters and looked at a summer insect that could not survive the winter. There was a kind of pride that came from the soles of the feet and penetrated into the heavenly court. This proud blood flowed into the body of every Greek, even if they were once the lowest Greek slaves in the Lydia province.
In Artes and Semonti's view, the Persian nobles of Lydia were just jokes. As long as there was a suitable opportunity, Lydia would fall into the arms of Greece, and at least become a special province divided by the Greeks.
The army led by Sunako was a group of pigs. The Gambiss family might have had a glorious moment, but it must not be now. His stupidity made Artes and Semonti, who had been waiting for a century since their ancestors and had been waiting for a full century, finally saw the opportunity; but this opportunity changed in an instant. When they thought they were about to completely defeat the rule of the Gambiss family and thought that Lydia would become another city-state bathed in Greek civilization, they found that a sister Mo fell from the sky, and this Miss Mogina also had countless money, loyal subordinates and the support of the powerful China. In just one month after they arrived in Lydia, they became the patriarch of the Gambiss family!
A woman is the patriarch? Artes would always sneer. In the eyes of the wise and wise Greeks, there are the Olympic gods, the heroes in Homer's epics, and wise men like Paratus. But there are not those beautiful and diligent Greek women. However, it would be a little different if this woman with half Greek descent became the patriarch of the Gambiss family.
When Artes felt that this Greek woman named Morgina had become the patriarch of the first-class Persian noble family, she felt an inexplicable pleasure. When she thought of Morgina's legendary beauty and elegant self, she became more and more full of fantasy; however, this fantasy was soon broken after encountering Silde's army, and replaced by heartfelt shock and admiration; what shocked him was the elite level of the warriors under Silde, and what he admired was Morgina. A woman who could control a person like Silde would definitely be amazing, right? In Greek legend, it seemed that only a goddess like Athena who combines beauty, wisdom and courage would make such an excellent man follow him wholeheartedly.
The proud Spartans never give up easily. Even if their king died in the Battle of Hot Spring Valley, they thought it was the greatest victory. Because it was simply an unfair battle. What’s ridiculous is that from Greece to Rome, and from Rome to Persia, whenever they encounter Spartan warriors, the enemy will always send five times, ten times or even a hundred times to deal with them, including elite soldiers of the level of the Eternal Legion. The Spartans were both proud and depressed. They really hope to meet strong enough opponents and a fair and refreshing battle.
It was the Chinese who satisfied them. Silder personally selected a thousand elite soldiers to face a thousand Spartan warriors. The sharp swords and arrows of the old Qin people faced the strong shields and armor of the Spartans; the Qin team that evolved from the Wei Wuzu phalanx faced the tortoise shell formation that the Spartans were proud of. This was a direct collision of the highest combat powers of the East and the West, and it was also a contest between top equipment of the East and the West. If this was a battle, it would be better to say a competition between warriors.
"The Greeks are not Persians, Lydia is the best springboard to Greece. So what you have to do is not to eliminate them in battle, but to get their respect in battle!"
"Haha, it sounds so nice, just because they are Greeks, because you have Greek blood flowing in your body?"
Silde looked at Mogina with a smile. In fact, he also had the blood of the Greek nobles in his body. Although he had no good feelings for the Greek grandfather, he did not forget his promise to his mother. "When the sun spreads over the Aegean Sea, he will return to his hometown like the brave Odysseus." Although there was a ruthless grandfather and a head guard who betrayed his mother, he had his mother's childhood and girlish age. He always wanted to go back and take a look, but he just went to see it and fulfill his promise to his mother. Silde, who was born in Qin since childhood, could not have a 100% sense of belonging to Qin, and naturally the same with Greece.
"Is there no Greek blood in your body? Also, those words just now were said by your teacher Bai Zi. This is one of his plans and a test for you."
Morgina looked at Silde with a smirk, her eyes far more ambiguous than words. "Actually, what is the most amazing man? A woman will appreciate a strong man like you. But Bai Zi doesn't seem to like you very much. In his opinion, a successful general does not rely on killing people, and he should not be bloody."
"Stop saying it. Since it was said by the teacher, it must be right and I will do it."
Morgina blinked, not continuing to say anything, but a hint of disappointment quietly flew across her lips
Silde has seen something like a springboard in the Bai family. It can be used as a tool for children to play games or train soldiers. If you make good use of this thing, you will be able to climb over the wall and over the house, and everyone can become the best assassin. Thinking of Lydia's unique geographical location, Silde felt that this metaphor was too appropriate, and he instantly understood Bai Dong's intention.
Although he had all kinds of dissatisfaction with Bai Dong, Silde was a smart boy after all. Naturally, he understood that he was not full enough at this time. Understanding Bai Dong's intentions and working hard to realize them was his only choice now.
Once the Greek army with Spartans as the core encountered Silde, it would be difficult to create a brilliant victory. The Spartan soldiers had no advantage in the face of the elite Qin soldiers without any equipment. However, these Qin soldiers were all soldier kings selected by Silde from more than 10,000 troops, and some were even fighting masters from Rangers. As a result, after a melee, the two sides tied with fair competition. However, at this time, Silde's army had already sieged the Greek army. The Qin army was neatly arranged, and everyone smiled, which was simply polite.
When Semonti shook his head helplessly and ordered the fight to stop, he was surprised to find that no Spartan warriors died in this battle, and at most they were seriously injured. The Qin army did not bully each other with many people, did not hurt others with hidden arrows, and they were very cautious in their actions. They actually had a refreshing exchange with his warriors. This was really touching. He could not understand why the Chinese from the East adhered to the fighting spirit of Sparta. This was a respectable opponent!
"Actually we all understand very well that when Kodorman was killed by Baizi of Qin and when Miss Mogina became the real master of Lydia, the Greeks of Lydia and even the entire Greek would look to the distant and mysterious East to try to find new opportunities. Isn't this the case? The noble Mr. Artes?"
After the battle stopped, Silde and Artes met in the middle of the battlefield, raised the wine they had prepared long ago, and asked with a smile.
"The name Baizi is very strange, but I know that it was his army that destroyed Kodorman's Eternal Legion. And you are right, Greece never had any disgust towards Lydia, because most of the civilians in Lydia were Greeks. If Miss Mogina came to rule this area, Greece would definitely be her loyal ally."
Every Greek is smart and not lacking in political wisdom, so is Artes, otherwise today's battle would not be so fair, harmonious, friendly, and full of Olympic sports spirit. (To be continued...)
