Chapter 603 Bloodletting

A few city-states played various tricks.

For example, Su ye and Mitaiyad were not shown on the magic images at all, and only those distant images were played, so as to prevent anyone who was not his own city-state from becoming a hero.

Athens is even more extreme. Except for the magic video played at the entrance of Plato Academy, the magic video with Su ye and Mitiayd is prohibited in other places.

However, the people are not fools.

The more the Zhanshen Mountain is closed, the more crazy the public spread.

Some people and bards even temporarily gave up their jobs and took the initiative to disperse all over the city of Athens to spread Su Ye's deeds and let everyone go to the Socrates Avenue to watch the magic video.

And in the World Reception Room of the Magic Council, it was completely boiling.

The number of people discussing was a little less than when the three-dimensional magic circle appeared, but the communication was more enthusiastic.

Everyone was discussing Su ye's domains and powers. Even the Persian magicians who hadn't participated in the battle had no time to think about the Persian magicians and Persians who died in battle, as well as the legendary warrior Mahal who died.

The students of Plato Academy were all extremely excited, especially Su Ye's classmates. They had nothing to do during the class, but when the get out of class was over, the male students immediately gathered around and shouted like primitive people.

When the class returned to normal, they couldn't hold back again and yelled together at the break of the next class.

No matter what the rulers of the city-states do, the story of the massacre of two million Persians by the Greek coalition forces is still spreading throughout Greece like a typhoon.

The Egyptian army, which had been eyeing Greece, retreated immediately, and the battle on Crete ended.

The terrifying torrent of Hellriders woke up all the Egyptian generals.

However, the war madmen in Northern Europe were eager to try instead. Some even claimed that after the war between the two countries was over, they would find a chance to have a fair fight with the Greeks to see if Su ye's hell knights were stronger or the Nordic berserkers invincible.

When the whole world was discussing Su ye and Hell Troopers, Proguan was peaceful, but Tempe Valley was the complete opposite.

Starting in the afternoon, almost every hour, Proguan received military information, requests for help, or orders from the Tempe Valley coalition forces.

The generals of Proguan simply gathered in the big tent and waited.

Su ye also straightened out what happened in Tempe Valley through the magic letter.

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, the hero king Gilgamesh led an army of more than two million people, and arrived outside Tempe Valley.

It is different from Xerxes' shabby Baixiang Palace.

Gilgamesh directly brought the Palace of Heroes, a floating castle floating in the air, with a radius of more than three hundred meters.

The whole body is covered with gold, so golden that it can dazzle a dog's eyes.

Xerxes stood obediently behind Gilgamesh.

The Persian army raised the banner of a single king, which meant that Xerxes had no command.

After all, Xerxes was all gone.

Unlike the slightly aggressive Xerxes, after Gilgamesh arrived outside the Tempe Valley, he immediately set up camp and built fortifications, not only using magic, but also using a lot of non-magic items, such as wood, rocks, metal, etc., to build Established a complete line of defense and camps.

With the help of a large number of giants, monsters and magicians, the fortifications were built extremely quickly.

After building the basic defense, some Persian soldiers who had been resting suddenly moved out and started the first round of siege at night.

Xerxes' siege equipment was destroyed before it could be used, while Gilgamesh's attack was so steady that it shocked the Greek generals.

Starting from the horn of battle, the entire Persian army is like an orderly colony of ants, never using any tricks and surprises, only using the purest coordination of various arms to cooperate with siege equipment.

Fight a war of attrition.

Every Persian team is like a puppet filled with magic crystals, fighting in an orderly manner.

But this is not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing is that the Persian ace army took turns to attack, and the undead army, giant army, flying snake army, monster army, giant elephant army, and hero guards were not absent.

Su ye only had to admit that Gilgamesh was terrible after only reading the simple information.

This is the slow bleeding of the Greek army.

This is to beat the Greeks in Tempe Valley.

This is what worries the coalition headquarters the most.

Because, for the Persians, it is a good thing to quickly capture the Tempe Valley, capture Thermopylae Pass, and enter the hinterland of Greece, but there are also huge hidden dangers.

Once the Persians invade the hinterland of Greece, they will inevitably divide their troops, and if the Greeks retain enough vitality, they can completely consume the Persian army by virtue of the favorable location.

But now, as long as the Persians slowly bleed the Greeks here, they don’t need to kill all the Greek soldiers. They only need to severely damage the vital forces of Greece within a certain period of time, then break through the Tempe Valley, and finally rush into the hinterland of Greece.

If only light infantry went into battle, the loss of Persian personnel would be huge, but because the ace legion was dispatched in turn, the consumption of the Persians was reduced to a minimum.

At the beginning, some generals in Proguan's tent were a little gloating.

But as the battle reports continued to increase, everyone began to worry about Greece.

In the middle of the night, intelligence from the Persian mainland kept many generals awake.

Darius the Great of Persia was very angry at Xerxes' failure, but at the same time he recruited millions of troops to come to support him.

Unlike most of the generals, a few people such as Su ye and Mitiadeh were not only not afraid, but were also very happy.

From a short-term perspective, the Greeks will be under great pressure and will encounter more enemies.

However, from a long-term perspective, Darius continued to expand wars and consume manpower and resources regardless of the country's ability to bear, which was digging the foundation of Persia.

Once there is a huge gap between the consumption and development of a country, but this country has no new strength to develop by leaps and bounds, then it will inevitably collapse.

After receiving the news, Su ye fell asleep soundly.

When I woke up the next day, various news spread in Proguan.

Basically, it is spread by magicians who can send messages secretly.

It turned out that the carriages of the adjudicators of the Tribunal of the Gods had already stopped over the Tempe Valley, just like the warlords, they never fell.

The coalition headquarters in Tempe Valley was under great pressure, because each of them realized that they had done a stupid thing, which led to the Tribunal of the Gods. Since Proguan not only has no problems, but has great military exploits, the Tribunal of the Gods will inevitably select the unlucky generals from the Tempe Valley to adjudicate.

Now all the generals in Tempe Valley are like people who tie their shoelaces after meeting a lion. They don't need to run past the lion, they only need to run past their teammates to survive.

When all the generals pursued the doctrine of doing more and making more mistakes, doing less and making fewer mistakes, not doing good and throwing the pot away, the entire Tempe Valley fell into chaos.

When they aim at doing nothing and breaking the pot, they no longer think about war, no longer think about the Greeks, no longer think about victory.

The middle and lower level officers and soldiers complained endlessly.

Fortunately, Gilgamesh's battles have always been relaxed, and will never put pressure on the Greek army in Tempe Valley, but it will make the Greeks breathless every moment.

Since last night, the battle of the Persian army has not stopped.

Fortunately, the Tempe Valley is not wide, and the battlefield contact line is limited. Even if Persia has a huge numerical advantage, the Greek coalition forces can already support it.

One day, two days, three days, four days...

On the fifth day, Su ye read all the information and realized that Tempe Valley was about to fail.

The number of casualties has even become insignificant. What really caused Tempe Valley to be unable to sustain it is that the entire coalition has lost its unified goal. Everyone is fighting for their own interests. No one cares about others or the coalition.

The chaos at the top of the coalition forces has dealt a fatal blow to the officers and soldiers at the middle and lower levels. In addition, the Persian army has been attacking continuously these days, non-stop.

Their bodies can take turns, but their spirits never rest.

They have no idea where the end of the war is, and they see no hope because there is not even an easy victory.

Whenever the Greeks gain a little advantage, the ace army of the Persians will inevitably appear and carry out a crushing blow.

When two or three thousand giants stood hundreds of meters away and threw boulders continuously, no one could stand on the city wall.

The narrowness of Tempe Valley is not only the advantage of Greece, but also the advantage of the trump card army.

The most terrifying thing is that some Greek generals realized that if they killed too many Persians in a short period of time, they would be retaliated by the ace army, so they would deliberately slow down the battle rhythm at certain times, and withdraw when they could give Persia a hard blow. Lost a group of people.

In a short period of time, this kind of command was extremely correct, but it didn't take long for the Greek soldiers to fight more passively. What's the difference between this and kneeling in front of Persia?

However, the Persians became more and more courageous as they fought. Since the opponent did not dare to attack desperately, what should they be afraid of?

Looking at the information, Su ye shook his head. Gilgamesh is really powerful, and he has considered all aspects.

At this time, Su ye even suspected that Gilgamesh was testing Greece by agreeing to Xerxes' attack on Proguan before making a move.

Sure enough, Gilgamesh was rewarded by Darius, and given a new honorary title, some new porcelain plates and a set of golden tableware, but no treasures were rewarded.

Because everyone in Persia knew that Gilgamesh was richer than Darius.

In the Persian camp.

Xerxes sat on the throne of the king's tent, looking down at a sanctuary and a golden magician.

"I heard that you are working for my sister Yixinna?"

The two magicians were frowning.

"Your Highness, Princess Yixinna is still waiting for our report, you can't recruit us indiscriminately." The sanctuary mage said helplessly.

"Tell me, what are you doing to help her in Rome?" Xerxes asked blankly.

He has been expressionless for five or six days.

"How do you know we went to Rome?" Sanctuary mage said helplessly.

"Nonsense! Whether you are returning to Persia from northern Europe or from the mainland of Greece, you will not pass through the city of Oluzon. You will only pass through this area when you return to Persia from Rome."

"We're just going to rest for one night in Olupine City..."

"If you want to blame, blame you for coming at the wrong time. Tell me, what did you do for her?"

"We need to keep this matter a secret," said the Sanctuary Mage.

Xerxes sneered and said, "In normal times, I really can't do anything to you, but now is wartime!"
