Chapter 558: Magic Mothership

"Then let's talk about the second possibility."

"Their second choice is to put all their eggs in one basket and send the navy to attack Lion Harbor directly. In fact, attacking Lion Harbor is not the key point, the key is... They may want to directly destroy Lion Harbor, and even spread to Athens. In this way, even if they fail elsewhere , as long as Athens is destroyed, it is enough to explain to their gods."

Fast said in a low voice: "This is something we have not considered. Yes, if Persia cannot break through Thermopylae Pass, it is really possible to die. Even if our Greek navy is stronger, Persia can destroy Lion Harbor by virtue of its numerical advantage. Once Triggered a legendary shot, and the waves were strong enough to destroy the entire city of Athens."

"There is also a third possibility, which is to transport the troops to the Marathon Plain again. It is far easier to attack the Marathon Fortress than to attack Thermopylae Pass. Moreover, they have sufficient troops. If they carry out four-line operations at Thermopylae Pass, Hunter Channel, Marathon and Lion Harbor, If we keep procrastinating, we may be dragged down forever." Suye said.

"It's a headache. If Persia is really shameless, using this method to fight against Greece, or even send troops continuously, we will definitely not be able to bear it." Fast frowned.

"So, apart from the Battle of Thermopylae, what really determines the outcome of the Battle of Hippo is the naval battle. As long as the Persian fleet is completely defeated, we can attack their military camps at Thermopylae or the Marathon Plain with impunity. .But the premise is...the ban on Plato Academy must be lifted, and we magicians are allowed to build more powerful magic warships, magic motherships!"

Fast sighed deeply.

However, Su Ye didn't seem to see Fast's expression, and continued: "As far as I know, as early as more than ten years ago, Master Plato proposed to build a magic mothership. As long as the academy has the right to use it, it will hand over the command to the God of War. Mountains and temples. However, out of fear of magicians, Athens resolutely rejected this proposal.”

"The magic mothership is the most powerful magic ship designed by a magician. There is a magic tower built on it. Even if the legend and the sanctuary do not attack by themselves, only the golden mage can activate the powerful magic circle. Bombards super-long-distance magic. Basically, as long as there is a magic mothership, the Greek navy will run rampant on the sea. Unless the legend personally attacks, it will become an island that will never sink in the sea, no less than the heroic sea monster, only half Divine Sea monsters can be on top of it."

"Perhaps the Plato Academy's description of the magic mothership was too exaggerated, which frightened many nobles. They were afraid that it was a conspiracy of magicians, so they tried every means to obstruct the construction of the magic mothership. In the end, the magic mothership plan was stranded. In these years, Athens has repeatedly fought naval battles with some countries. Except for the Marathon naval battle, which was a complete victory, other naval battles were won and lost, with a total loss of more than one magic mothership. But even so, Athens still refused."

"If Plato Academy didn't take care of the overall situation, it would have cooperated with other city-states to build a magic mothership and sweep across the sea."

Fast sighed again,

Said: "If you participate in the military meeting, you will understand that the short-sightedness of those noble generals is far beyond imagination. For the small interests of their own families and the short-term interests of the nobles, they don't care about the long-term and overall situation of Athens and even Greece. interests. I can clearly say that in the eyes of some nobles, they would rather let the Persian army break through Athens than see Plato’s academy expand again.”

Su Ye sneered and said: "I don't need to participate to understand, just look at the history books, there are too many such things, for the sake of a few people and short-term interests, abandoning the majority and long-term interests, the final result must be a long-term stigma. It's a pity that they still can't get out of the short-sighted cage, and generations of people are always spiraling in place. In the eyes of those nobles, the Persian nobles are allies, and there is no difference between magicians and domestic slaves."

"You really have a thorough view of the problem. A kind and generous person like General Mitiadeh lost his temper on the spot at the meeting. After the meeting, he dropped the pottery. Of course, I didn't want to drop the porcelain you gave me." Fast looked helpless.

"What does the general mean?" Suye asked.

Fast said: "The general has nothing to do. Although he is unparalleled in military strategy, he has never been as aggressive as Pericles and Themis in dealing with nobles and God of War Mountain. He is a nobleman after all, and he cannot openly oppose God of War Mountain."

Su Ye pondered for a long time, and said: "I will contact Plato Academy on this matter, and I can tell you one thing on behalf of Plato Academy, if the magic mothership cannot be built, then our academy will refuse to recruit, and our academy will all relocate to Miletus, and willing to accept Persian asylum."

"You!" Fast stood up abruptly, his eyes breathing fire, but after a moment, the flames disappeared, like an old man bent over to pick up trash in a dark corner, he sat down helplessly with his head in his hands.

At this moment, no one could see that he was a dignified sanctuary general.

Su Ye said expressionlessly: "We can participate in the defense of Tempe Valley. We can participate in the defense of Hot Spring Pass, and even the defense of Athens. We can also participate in the battle, but the premise is that our rear is safe. People stabbed us. The Greek navy has no ability to defeat the Persian navy. Once the Huntsman Strait cannot be defended and the Persian navy lands from behind Thermopylae, our participation in Thermopylae is tantamount to suicide! Please tell me why we participated in a A battle where you must lose or die?"

"But……"

"Nothing! I will send a magic letter to Dean Lawrence right now to explain my position. If there is no magic mothership and Plato Academy is still involved in the war, I will leave Plato Academy immediately, and then spend a lot of money to use the temple to teleport, teleport To Miletus. With my current strength, the magicians of the Miletus school will definitely do everything possible to keep me."

After Su Ye finished speaking, he immediately opened the magic book and sent a magic letter to Dean Lawrence.

Afterwards, Su ye showed Lawrence's reply to Fast.

"What you said is very reasonable. Our Plato Academy does not fight a battle to the death. We will consider a result within three days. I personally support your opinion, but in the end, I still have to obey the arrangement of the academy."

Fast looked at Lawrence's letter and remained silent for a long time.

Suye stretched out three fingers, and said, "Starting tomorrow, I will give you three days. If Zhanshenshan disagrees with the magic mothership plan, then I will start lobbying at Plato Academy and let all magicians boycott this time." Go to war, get ready to escape from Athens, go to Miletus or even Rome. Perhaps, in the end, some people will stay in Plato Academy, but I can guarantee that none of the smartest people in the Academy will stay.” Read a good book

"You are Greeks." General Fast said.

"But we don't want to be the dead in Greece, let alone those who died in vain!"

"If you do this, it will only arouse the resistance of Zhanshen Mountain."

Su Ye smiled slightly and said, "I have a compromise."

"You... tell me." Fast sighed helplessly. It turned out that what Su ye said before was just to put pressure on himself.

"I can make Zhanshenshan not lose face, and let Plato Academy get a license to make a magic mothership. But the premise is that Zhanshenshan is willing to cooperate."

Fast frowned, thought for a long time, and said, "Impossible, I have never heard of any special permission to bypass Zhanshen Mountain."

"Temple franchise." Su Ye said.

"Huh?" Fast stared at Su ye dumbfounded.

The dignified Sanctuary General was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

After a while, Fast said: "Don't be joking. Do you know the consumption of a large sacrifice for this level of temple franchise? Only the patriarch of the demigod family will come forward in person, and the sacrifice is at least worth more than five million golden eagles." It can only be obtained by offering sacrifices. A magic mothership is only 10 million golden eagles."

"No kidding, I can get it." Suye said.

Fast suddenly fell into deep thought, but soon realized it, and asked in a low voice: "Now all Greece says you are doted on by the goddess of wisdom. Could it be that you have some means in the temple of the goddess of wisdom?"

Su Ye didn't answer, and said to himself: "As long as the temple grants permission and God of War Mountain doesn't fight, we can join forces to build a magic mothership. After the battle, if God of War Mountain feels that the magic mothership is a threat, it can prohibit the magic mothership from stationing in Lion Harbor , Let the magic mothership go to the overseas territory of Athens. Our academy wants to build a magic mothership, not to fight against the God of War, but to protect Athens. Of course, we also have some selfishness, which is to test some magic technology. If we can create magic Mothership, then the magical power of our academy will go up to another level."

"Can you really get special permission? I heard before that your college has already obtained a temple franchise, but the scope of that franchise did not include the magic mothership."

"Then ask for a new franchise," Su Ye said.

Fast thought for a while, stood up abruptly, stared into Suye's eyes and said, "Since you've said it to this extent, if Zhanshenshan still doesn't agree, then I'll make the final call. I can't leave Athens , can't leave Greece, but if you leave Athens and make Athens lose its last hope, then, in the first battle between Persia and Greece, I will be the first to go out and challenge the opponent's sanctuary, one by one, until I die You, either wait for the news of Zhanshenshan’s cooperation, or wait for the news of my death in Miletus.”

After Fast finished speaking, he strode out.

The back is majestic, and the gray hair seems to be burning with sparkling fire, illuminating the yard.

Su ye sat on a chair, watching Fast's back disappear into the yard, and remained silent for a long time.

"I can die for Greece, but not for mistakes and sins."

Su ye sat blankly for a long time, and suddenly sighed deeply.

I saw this young man who was chatting with the general in the army a moment ago and giving advice, and in a blink of an eye, he went back to his room to do his homework.

At noon the next day, the cafeteria of the college was bustling with activity.

The pig goblins respectfully raised the magic plate in front of Su ye, watched the magic plate jump up in front of Su ye by itself, and then looked at Su ye eagerly.

Others can't feel it, but they can clearly feel the powerful breath of the golden mage, which is enough to crush their pig's heart. _
