Chapter 226 Going to Sparta
Chapter 226 Going to Sparta
On the same day that Lin Feng successfully refined the Demon Book and implanted it into Hris's body, the fleet passed through Cape Mikal on the Aegean Sea and arrived at the Greek Islands. After getting off the boat, the local residents' attitude towards Lin Feng and Koshan was unexpectedly good. On the same day, the group moved into the residence of the Corinthian city-state. Although the Greek architecture was not as gorgeous as Persian, the column-shaped buildings that matched the exquisite relief also had a unique feeling. The Corinthian nobles held a dinner that night like Sadies. The only difference was that the local residents had no hatred or dissatisfaction in their eyes, but only awe and curiosity.
This is the difference caused by different environments. The Greeks opposite the Aegean Sea are under the rule of Persians. The Persians are always at the top of the pyramids. Even the local nobles want to execute a Persian can only secretly attack. This class oppression undoubtedly aggravates the oppression of the lower class. The oppression of thought, culture and all aspects makes the locals extremely eager for freedom. The Greek people are different. The war between Persia and Greece only broke out in a marathon. For the Corinthians, all kinds of Persia were rumors, but the Persian emissaries brought luxury now is right in front of them. Even as long as Persia and the Corinthian city-state business and trade are closer, a large part of the Corinthians will become the Hapersian tribe. The hatred of the invasion of the nation is not important for them.
Although the Corinthians had a good attitude towards them, the situation was completely different when they met the king. Before Coshan could persuade the king, they had rejected Xerxes' request. No matter how he tempted him, even promising to build this small city-state into the most powerful city-state in Greece was completely ineffective. Moreover, not only the situation in the Corinthian city-state, Lin Feng and Keshan and his group visited more than a dozen small city-states in a row, all of which were exactly the same as Corinthian.
As Persian messengers became closer to Sparta, the local residents treated them worse and worse, which had a lot to do with the customs of Spartan city-states. Under their strong means, although these small city-states had not been annexed, they were somewhat infected with the imprint of Spartan culture. On the roadside, you can often see thin serfs working under the whip. The overgrown roads obviously have not been built, and even livestock and farming tools are extremely difficult to see in the farmland. Many serfs are digging the soil with their hands. The turbid current of mud and sand mixed in the ditches next to the road is used to irrigate the farmland and are also the source of their drinking water.
Such harsh conditions often make the serfs unbearable, but the supervisors are all extremely strong, and they often resist as soon as they arise. The supervisors only need one hand to crush the throats of these slaves. This is Spartan's style: powerful and barbaric. When Spartan babies are born, they must undergo the first test. If they are not healthy enough and fail the elders' examination, they will be abandoned by their parents in the deserted mountains.
In the abandoned baby field, the wild wolf and vultures pecked at it. After that, they had to wipe the whole body with strong liquor. If the baby was fucked or lost consciousness, they would be treated as a system that was not strong and allowed to die. When they were seven years old, they had to undergo the third test: extremely rigorous Spartan training. These children were not allowed to wear shoes. Whether they were wearing only one coat in winter or summer, they only slept on weed mats, not knives, and they were pulled out long grass and made by themselves. They had no food and could only survive in the wild.
This is Sparta, a hysterical militarist city. When any Spartan man faces a cruel war of life and death, he will only hold up his shield and spear high. These soldiers who despise death and fearlessness are also the most brutal and cruel rulers. The massacre of the Hilo people can be said to be a Spartan coming-of-age ceremony. Even the primary state of this country is to implement the Kriput system, that is, after the "declaration of war" ceremony, the collective search and massacre of slaves under his rule. Although they cannot compare with the Bazter devil in terms of overall domination, the Spartans can be said to be the nation closest to the Bazter devil, and are extremely cruel and tyrannical but the most orderly soldiers.
At this moment, the Persian emissaries were walking along the inland sea on the way to the Spartan city-state. Koshan's originally handsome face now seemed extremely gloomy. He thought that although he had no hope of surrendering to Sparta and Athens, there were always some who were willing to surrender among the nearly a hundred small city-states. However, the dozen small city-states that were passing through did not even give a chance to test, and he refused so completely. He could even think of King Xerxes' unhappy face after returning to Persia and his sneering from his ministers. The extreme depression caused him to say almost no words along the way.
This scene was naturally caused by Lin Feng. On the sea, he not only killed Scula, but also asked the crew to peel out the skulls between them. This was simply a provocation to the Sea Emperor. Although there was no shipwreck in the future, this calmness was just a prelude to the storm. The strength shown by the Zhongzhou team was no longer something that could be dealt with by a shipwreck, and the dignity of the gods also made Poseidon not take action personally. Since the main line of the whole plot was biased towards myths and legends, the gods would never be at peace. Once these gods issued the will to fight against Persia to the Greek city-states, it would naturally be impossible for any party to surrender to Persia.
Ares is a bloodthirsty and violent god. He danced his hands when he heard the sound of war drums, and became fascinated when he smelled the bloody smell. Killing and fighting were commonplace. Wherever there was a fierce battle, he immediately rushed there and chopped and killed without asking. This brave god of war was surprisingly similar to the Spartan city-state in all aspects, so the Spartans became Ares' darling. It was precisely because of the support of this god that Spartan king Leonida would kill Persian envoys without any scruples.
