When the last soldier was asked by King Leonida, he looked at the darkness behind him and roared, "Spartans, what are you doing?"

The 300 Spartan warrior held the iron spear in unison and shouted loudly: "Aowu~Aowu~Aowu!"

The sound shook the sky and rushed straight into the sky!

In the afterglow of the sunset, the three hundred warriors in brass heavy armor reflected dazzling light, like gods descending to earth, majestic and solemn.

When the deafening call stopped, King Leonida said to General Dassus with a prominent eyebrows: "Look, old friend, I bring more soldiers than you."

This statement is equivalent to insulting others, and it simply treats the 7,000 Greek coalition forces as nothing.

But if these words come from the Spartans, then the situation will be different.

Because everyone present knew that the Spartans were born warriors and the most famous fighting nation. They did not have children, and from the moment they were born, they were destined to become warriors.

Not only Dassus, but even his subordinates, recognized King Leonida's words from the heart.

That night, the Spartans slept very soundly, only their king patrolled sleeplessly, and were thinking about how to drag the Persian army firmly into the hot spring pass in the following battle, their own country and allies, and to fight for crucial time.

The mercenaries couldn't sleep all night at this moment. They had harvested a large number of killing points, which was a great harvest. However, the arrival of the Spartan army also means that the real offense and defense will begin soon.

Yun Qi counted the harvest. There were 20 killing points in total, which meant that he killed Persians between 20 and 25. This value was lower than the average. However, considering that Yun Qi had always hidden his melee ability, relying solely on Barrett and Magnum's battle, this number was actually quite amazing.

The next morning, a Greek city-state explorer, Xerxes' army had crossed the pontoon bridge and began to move south.

Wherever you pass, you will be invincible.

No nation or city dares to challenge hundreds of thousands of Persian troops.

Instead, they were soon conquered by Xerxes and were forced to join the torrent of the Persian army.

Now, a large number of Persian navy is heading to the Hot Spring Pass.

Even worse news came, Xerxes' main force would soon arrive at the Hot Spring Pass.

Moreover, after they had breakfast, all the mercenaries were unanimously notified of the main mission.

After waiting for the long-awaited main task, everyone had nothing to be happy about.

That is a total of 300,000 troops!

Before, they were still anxious about the Lord God's delay in issuing the main mission. Now, after experiencing the black armored army, which is not too elite in Persia, they finally understand the horror of the 300,000 Persian army!

For King Leonida, he had already been looking forward to the arrival of the Persians, but now he has a little more concern.

As soon as Yun Qi noticed, Leonida looked complicated when she looked at their mercenaries.

Sure enough, while eating, King Leonida specially brought jerky bacon and oatmeal porridge to the campfire where the mercenaries were sitting around for dinner.

"Don't mind me sitting down?" As a king, Leonida has the modesty of a modern person.

But Yun Qi clearly remembered that when King Leonida led his personal guards to meet with 7,000 Dassos, he showed Spartan's unique arrogance last night.

King Leonida now looks humble, probably because he saw with his own eyes that 17 people killed ten times the Persian army. This is the essence of Sparta's humility: only by proving your strength and courage can they treat others with humility.

Leonida sat down next to Yun Qi, and handed Yun Qi a piece of smoked and half-charred bacon: "Do you want a piece?"

Yun Qi knew that communicating with such a rude man would only underestimate people. So, after nodding his head to express his simple thanks, he grabbed the bacon and stuffed it into his mouth to tear it.

The secret bacon made by the Spartan royal family is completely different from the modern bacon.

Before the Silk Road to the East was opened, the seasonings for making bacon were more precious than gold. Even the Spartan royal family could not produce much. The only spices were sacrificed as tributes to the Spartans' sun god believed in on sacred festivals.

"It's very unique." Yun Qi swallowed the whole piece of bacon, and did not forget to suck his fingers stained with butter. It seemed that he was enjoying the deliciousness of bacon.

King Leonida said: "Look at how you eat, you should all come from famous families, right?"

In the eyes of ancient Greeks, modern people's casual dining methods seemed too elegant to them. In addition, they introduced themselves before that they came from the mercenary army of the second son, so the Spartan king naturally connected them with the nobles.

From the following conversation, Yun Qi learned about Leonida's doubts: Even if he became a noble child of a knight or a second son, there was no need to take on such a risky business for a little money.

In the view of the entire Greek city-state, the army led by Xerxes was simply unstoppable. If they had not had to take up weapons to fight in order to defend their homeland and to protect Persian slaves.

But there is no need for mercenaries to participate in a war with slim victories for a little limited money.

Yun Qi told Leonida: "Who said we are not defending our country? Xerxes was ambitious. This time his plan to invade Greek states succeeded, and the next one was our home and castle."

King Leonida did not expect the other party to think so far, but he said it was reasonable.

Leonida drank half a bowl of oatmeal in one sip and said, "Tell me about your abilities. I don't believe that you can destroy ten times your Persian army by relying solely on your strength."

Yun Qi added: "There are also strategies."

"Well, I admit that you are not reckless. Strategy! Without terrain and home court advantage, strategy plays a very minimal role."

Under Leonida's questioning, Yun Qi no longer concealed it. In fact, he had no need to conceal it. As the war began, their abilities would eventually be displayed in front of the Spartans and the coalition forces one by one.

Yun Qi briefly talked about his abilities with the other sixteen people. King Leonida kept nodding, and he seemed very satisfied with the abilities this mercenary had.

Finally, he sighed: "Now I understand a little bit why the general paid a lot of money and asked you to help the battle."

"General?" This was the first time Yun Qi heard that his group of people were employed by the so-called "General".
