Chapter 65 Destruction of the War
This decision is not easy to make, especially Kassandra is also a spiritual Spartan.
It is the most taboo to change generals in the war.
Lagos has been in charge of the Spartan granary of Alcardia for many years. Once he suddenly dies, it is almost impossible for Sparta to calm the chaos in a short period of time, and the military supplies on the front line will inevitably be affected.
It’s not that Kassandra couldn’t see the interests clearly, but as a Spartan who valued glory, she could not tolerate such filthy corruption within Sparta.
While leaving Kefalonia Island by boat, Kassandra also boasted about Sparta's discipline and low corruption in front of Xin Sheng, but unexpectedly he was slapped in the face just over a month later.
"I see!"
Natiya encouraged herself: "I will..."
"Wait, don't worry."
Xin Sheng patted Natiya on the shoulder and said, "You are not Kassandra, the Order God Cult will not take the highest level of alert against you."
"After arriving in Alcardia, you'd better wear a hood to cover up your identity, hide it in secret and investigate quietly, and don't let your temper come to the door impulsively."
Kassandra rubbed Natiya's head: "Last time you almost had a bad thing because of impulse, this time it was another test for you, don't mess it up again."
"I know!"
Natiya clenched her fist firmly: "I will never fall twice in the same place!"
“Just as Xin told me, humans must learn from their mistakes to grow, and I will let you see my progress!”
“Haha~”
Xin Sheng smiled and encouraged Natiya, "Come on, rookie mercenary."
"There must be a reason why the God Cult sends people to arrest you. Maybe you can get clues about your life experience while pursuing the God Cult."
Seeing that the three of them had determined their whereabouts, Herodotus stood up and said, "Please wait, I still have one more question."
He pointed at Brisson who fainted, and Herodotus asked with a tangled expression: "How should we deal with Brisson?"
Kassandra and Natiya did not hesitate: "Kill! The gods deserve to die."
Xin Sheng couldn't help rolling his eyes: "I think Brisson is valuable. If someone with outstanding eloquence can convince him to abandon darkness and turn to light, he will become a secret son we have inserted into the Divine Cult."
After Xin Sheng's words fell, the three of them all turned their eyes to Herodotus.
The old scholar was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'll try it, there's no guarantee that I will succeed."
Cassandra smiled heartily and patted Herodotus' thin shoulders: "Don't worry, if you fail unfortunately, I will help you with the bottom of your back, so do it with confidence."
"…Your promises can't help me at all."
...
In terms of life experience, the few people present together may not be as rich as Herodotus who traveled all over Greece.
He handed Brisson to Herodotus and returned to the hotel where he was staying to meet Barnabas.
When he learned that Xin Sheng was finally planning to go to Bootia to unblock Sphinx, Barnabas was excited and ready to go. He couldn't wait to see the mythical creature with his own eyes.
Speaking of Xin Sheng's destination Macedonia, Barnabas was quite puzzled. He didn't understand what Xin Sheng was doing in this place where birds didn't poop.
Macedonia during this period was not strong and was an absolute marginal city-state in Greece.
In addition to Ezesa, the capital of Upper Macedonia, the only towns of Amphepolis and Portidia have relatively dense populations.
It was not until the 4th century BC that Regent Philip II came to power and then that Macedonia would gradually embark on the road to prosperity.
Although Macedonia was very weak at this time, the territory of this city-state was very vast, even comparable to the Attica region where Athens was located and Laconia in Sparta.
If you want to find Darius in Macedonia, where you are hiding, you don’t know where to go with your legs alone.
Xin Sheng needs a mount to travel.
He had thought about buying a random animal companion gift pack to gamble.
But looking at the pitiful 2,800 points of energy in the system interface, Xin Sheng, who was short of money, had no choice but to give up.
During the more than a month when Fokis worked hard to complete the mercenary entrustment, Xin Sheng still saved some savings.
However, horses in this era are very expensive, and most of the good horses were forced to be exiled during the war.
Xin Sheng found the largest horse dealer in Delphi City and left disappointedly soon.
Most of the horses in the entire Delphi City are used for weight-bearing and milling, and there is no good horse that meets Xin Sheng's expectations.
"Since I can't buy the best goods, I'll go out to catch them myself!"
After all, he is also a hunter with the ability to tame beasts. Xin Sheng made up his mind to tame the right wild horses by himself.
There are many plain terrain in Macedonia's territory, which is more suitable for horse survival and reproduction.
Because of the importance of horses in Macedonia, even their city-state flags depict horse heads.
Cassandra and Herodotus go to Attica, where Athens is located, and need to go east through the Borussia region.
Natiya's destination, Alcardia, is far away, and you also need to head south from Bootia, through Megalis and Corinthia to reach it.
In other words, the three groups of people can still walk together for a while before they part, and they will only part ways when they reach the fork in Bootia.
Bootia, also called Viotya, according to different translations.
The most famous landmark in this area is Lake Copes, a city called Orconomis is located on the west shore of Lake Copes.
In order to avoid unnecessary troubles such as robbers on the road.
At Herodotus' suggestion, the group found a caravan along the way, and paid a small pen to get on the ride.
The numerous caravans set out from Delphi City and advanced all the way east. The robbers usually do not come to rob such heavily defended caravans. The group smoothly arrived at the city of Orconomis on the shore of Lake Copes.
Natiya sat in the carriage and waved goodbye to Xin Sheng and Kassandra freely, and followed the caravan to continue south towards Megalis.
"We're leaving, too."
Cassandra pointed to Herodotus, who was discussing business with another caravan: "Herodotus was worried that the time would take too long would cause a change, so he hurriedly wanted to arrive at the city of Athens."
Xin Sheng nodded understandingly: "In the minds of these scholars, Athens, which encourages various theories to bloom in full bloom, has a very special status."
"Go, Barnabas and I will set off as soon as possible after a little rest. The goal we are looking for is on the south shore of Lake Copes."
"Ha ha!"
Barnabas rubbed his hands excitedly: "Sphinx! I can't wait anymore, let's go immediately after lunch!"
After seeing off Cassandra and Herodotus, Xinsheng and Barnabas quickly had lunch, took rhubarb and Daedalos and headed south along the revet.
After the Second Peloponnese War began, Borussia fell into a long civil strife, and the multi-party forces supporting Sparta and Athens continued to fight in this area for a long time.
The local militia gradually became numb in the increasingly intensified contradictions, and only knew to act according to the orders of superiors, no matter how absurd this order was.
A large number of innocent villages were destroyed by war, and farmland was burned in large numbers. Bootia, which was once self-sufficient in food, gradually fell to the end of the country.
During the process of moving south along the lake, Xin Sheng and Barnabas were attacked by three waves of "robbers" in a short period of time.
Although they looked like robbers, these pale and thin robbers had no robber's aura, were dressed in tattered clothes, had no armor, and their weapons were just pitchforks and simple sticks.
"It's not just a robber..."
Xin Sheng had a complicated expression and put down the last thin man. The long-term hunger made these robbers unable to use any effort and were easily subdued by Xin Sheng.
Barnabas sighed: "These people used to be honest and honest villagers, and they had to become bandits if they couldn't live a life."
"After all, it's all caused by war."
"After the end of the First Peloponnese War, both camps were secretly preparing for wars and horses, and the most affected were these poor people."
"War..."
After entering the Odyssey world, Xin Sheng had no intuitive understanding of the Battle of Peloponnese.
‘The people are suffering, the people are suffering, the people are suffering.’
Xin Sheng, who had been swaying left and right, began to think carefully about the harm brought by the war.
