Chapter 636: Argonauts

Grahana opened the black wooden box and took out a golden medal engraved with mountains and seas, spears and shields.

A faint breath of divine power billowed above.

At this moment, in front of the light curtains of almost all the city-states in Greece, there were countless people whispering.

General Medal.

"Until now, there are still many people who oppose it," Grahana said.

Everyone was silent, quietly waiting for the result.

"There are many reasons for those who support it, and there are many reasons for those who oppose it. Those who oppose it say many reasons, for example, Su Ye is too young, Su Ye is a magician, Su Ye has no years of war experience, Su Ye likes to fight against nobles , Su Ye is too radical, blah blah..."

"I have been thinking about this matter, especially in the face of the two sides who are arguing, and I have been thinking about it for two full days. Until yesterday, I suddenly asked the two sides a question, what is the purpose of setting up a general in Greece?"

The whole of Greece was quiet, and everyone was lost in thought.

"And then a lot of people said why they thought it was."

"Some people say that the general is to better lead the army to fight."

"Some people say that a general is the highest honor in the army, and this honor can inspire every soldier."

"Some people say that a general is a symbol of the accumulation of military achievements and the best spoils of war."

"Some people say that the general is awarded to an excellent commander, because only a general can lead the Greeks to win better."

"Some people also say that the purpose of the general is to spread the brilliance of the gods. Only by defeating the enemy can the brilliance of the gods shine on the enemy."

"Besides, there are many reasons, but I have listened to it for a long time, and there is no reason that has an age limit, no reason that has a limit on the number of years in the army, no reason that has a career limit, and no reason that has a temper. Restrictions. If there are temper restrictions, I must be the first to take off the general medal on that bastard Demis!"

Everyone was stunned and burst into laughter, almost all the people in the city-state were laughing.

Everyone looked at Themis in the light curtain. The bad character of this admiral, not to mention the Greeks, even the whole world knows.

Themis stroked his chest hair,

Confused.

Tell me what to do?

I am such an honest and kind person, why do I have to bear this kind of pain?

Wrong!

Grahana smiled slightly, and continued: "Some people may be curious, what is my old woman's opinion? My opinion is very simple, that is, those who can lead more soldiers back, and those who can protect more Greeks, When Greece fell into darkness, the person who can push through the clouds and lead the Greeks to move on is qualified to become a general!"

Grahana was obviously an elderly woman, but at this moment, her voice was particularly intense and resonant.

Everyone seemed to have an illusion that a heroic female general stood there, strategizing and controlling the army.

"Later, listening to those people's reasons, I suddenly realized a truth. All the reasons we think we can't do have nothing to do with the reasons we want to do it! , commanding excellent generals to be promoted to generals, other than that, all other factors should not be taken into consideration.”

The audience was silent, and countless Greeks chewed this sentence carefully.

Suye was also stunned for a moment, and took a deep look at Grahana. As expected of a legendary master, this truth is so profound. It seems to go against intuition and experience, but it can shock one's heart.

All the reasons why we can't do it have nothing to do with the reasons why we should do it.

"If you use this standard to consider, then Su ye should be promoted to general!"

As Grahana said, she put the rank of general on Su ye's right shoulder.

"As a Greek, I would like to express my sincerest thanks to General Su Ye." Grahana bowed her head slightly.

Everyone was stunned, and most of them followed Grahana's example and bowed their heads to Su ye.

The priests of the Temple of the Sun, the priests of the Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom, the priests of the Temple of War God...

Generals, civilians, a few nobles...

All the people in the city-states of Greece bowed their heads in gratitude.

When everyone raised their heads, Suye said: "Greece has given me glory, and I should repay it with sincerity."

Su ye bowed his head slightly in return.

"General Suye!" Demisi raised his arms high and shouted loudly.

"General Su Ye!"

Everyone suddenly realized that the youngest general in Greek history was born.

"General Su Ye!"

The magicians realized that the first general magician in history was born.

The civilians also discovered that the first civilian general in history was born.

Countless people cheered.

Many were teary-eyed.

At this moment, many people were no longer cheering for Su ye, but for their own group, for fairness and justice, and for true glory.

Greece, justice exists!

Greece, and glory!

The nobles from all over the place looked at the fanatical people with different expressions.

Some were smiling, some were indifferent, some were full of vigilance, some were in a daze, and only a very few people were lost in thought.

They were pondering why a commoner who couldn't make it to the stage, a mere golden magician, could gain such support from the people.

Just because of military exploits?

no.

In the crowd, the great nobles looked at Su ye quietly.

After his award ceremony was over, Su Ye thanked everyone, went back to the side, and continued to watch the award ceremony behind him.

Generals from the same camp as Su Ye, such as Mitiade, Themis, Leonidas, and Commodus, were the first to receive the honors and received the cheers of the people.

Subsequently, the generals of the coalition headquarters were awarded honors, and all their honors came from the battle of the port that beat the dog in the water at the end.

Many well-informed people and soldiers in various city-states even booed loudly while looking at the light curtain.

After the awarding ceremony, the chief high priest of the Temple of Zeus came forward, summed up the battle of Hippo, and led everyone to thank the gods.

After that, there is the ceremonial dinner.

The tableware of Julong's Meiwu brand was used throughout the dinner, which was very different from the past dinners.

This dinner was almost distinct, the priests were together, the nobles were together, and the generals were together.

Su ye had been with the generals such as Mitiade and Themis until late at night, when the dinner was over, before going back to Plato Academy.

Mitiadeh and Leonidas got into the carriage together and said that they would send Su ye off.

The rest of the people knew that the three of them had something to say, so they changed to other carriages.

In the carriage of the magic carriage, three people drank tea silently.

Mitiadeh and Leonidas hesitated to speak, but Su ye didn't ask.

After a while, Mitiadeh and Leonidas looked at each other.

Mitaiad said: "Do you have the nerve to let me, an old man, speak first? I don't know how to respect the old and love the young at such a young age, not to mention that I am still a general, and you are just a meritorious general!"

Leonidas really wanted to refute that Lao Tzu was a demigod nobleman, but he just sighed helplessly and said, "Suye, the two of us are here to represent the great noblemen of various city-states, and I want to see what you think of noblemen? "

"I don't have any opinion on nobles, it's pretty good." Su ye said indifferently.

"So, do you want to join the nobility?" Leonidas asked.

Su ye took a serious look at Leonidas, then at General Mitiade.

"He didn't lie." Mitiayd said.

Su ye put down the teacup in his hand and stared into Leonidas' eyes.

Leonidas looked calm.

"What's the attitude of the nobles?" Suye asked.

Leonidas shrugged and said: "Except for a few dead ducks who are stubborn and some are neutral, more than half still want you to join the nobles. After all, your achievements this time are too great. No matter how stupid they are, they are afraid of losing a talent like you." .If you don’t become a nobleman, they won’t be able to sleep well in the future.”

"Then these big nobles don't look very good. They can be scared like this by a golden mage. I'm just gold, not a sanctuary. I'm not qualified to be promoted to a noble." Su Ye said.

"If you say you don't have qualifications, you don't have them. If you say you have them, you have them. Even if you don't have 15 sacred fighters in Persia, you still have them. As long as more than half of the demigod nobles agree, and you have the guarantee of the Temple of Wisdom, We will use your merits this time as an excuse to make an exception and promote you to a nobleman, and you are... legendary! Strange! Noble! Family!"

Leonidas said the last word.

Su ye was stunned for a moment, this is of great significance.

It is nothing to make an exception to be promoted to a noble, but super nobles are extremely rare, and there may be less than five in history.

It is unprecedented for a golden magician to be promoted to the patriarch of a legendary family.

"Have the nobles taken the smart medicine?" Suye asked.

Leonidas sighed, and said: "Several demigods, heroes, and even legends should have exerted pressure. It is said that many heroes such as Ajax and Achilles scolded the headquarters of the coalition army, and publicly cursed that the God of War Mountain in Athens has no eyes. Ajax, in particular, pointed at several great nobles of Athens and cursed, saying that if you were forced out of Athens, he would immediately lead the Telamon family to rebel from Athens and join other city-states. Achilles is not from the city-state of Athens, but he just To be promoted to a hero has a great discourse power in Greece."

Su Ye said: "I remember that the hero Telamon is still in charge of the family, and Ajax is just his son, so he is not qualified to lead the family away."

"Someone asked Telamon later, and Telamon said casually that Ajax would inherit the position of patriarch anyway after he died, and he would not be able to control the future Telamon family. Do you understand?"

"don't know."

"Except for Ajax and Achilles, most of the nobles this time are..." Leonidas took a deep look at Su Ye and said, "The descendants of the Argonauts."

Su ye's eyes flashed, staring at Leonidas and Mitiayd.

Neither of them spoke again.

Su ye was lost in thought.

More than ten years ago, it was the famous Heroic Age in Greece.

Two major events took place in Greece. The first event was the famous Argonaut expedition, and the second event was the first Trojan battle.

The famous Greek hero warrior Jason went to Colchis to retrieve the Golden Fleece in order to regain his position as the head of the demigod family and the throne of the city-state, so this incident is also called the Golden Fleece Expedition.

Because Colchis was on the other side of the distant ocean, Jason asked his friends to help build a ship called the Argo, and invited many friends to participate, and his friend invited many friends.

At the beginning, even Jason thought it was an ordinary journey, but as his friends kept calling for friends, the situation exceeded his imagination.

In the end, the number of fighters who participated in this journey increased from a dozen to more than a hundred!
