Chapter 23 The War of the Council
(Sorry for the late update)

During the tense period when the Persian army was pressing down on the border, Athens began to gather its own armed forces. The sea near the city was densely packed with warships, close together, and moored neatly at the pier.

At this moment, the Athens Navy has assembled more than 37 trirew warships. This is a large warship commonly used in the Mediterranean region. It has a total length of 45 meters and a total weight of [-] tons. It can be said to be the most powerful warship of this era.

A trireme warship carries a captain, 1 archers, 4 harpooneers, 14 sailors, and 25 oarsmen.

The oarsmen are mainly poor people and slaves, although there are many of them, they are not to be feared.The most important thing is the other 44 crew members on board, which is the main combat force of the trireme.

In other words, there are more than 3000 troops in the naval camp at this moment, and the camp stretches for more than ten kilometers.

Faced with such a situation, it was naturally impossible for Qin Rongshuai to directly lead people to attack the military camp. Although he had won consecutive battles since coming to this world, he had not yet expanded to the point of sweeping thousands of armies.

At this moment his heart is full of AC numbers.

If you can't attack by force, you can only outsmart it.

Qin Rongshuai took out the mask of the God of Order and put it on his face, dressing up like a temple priest, and then asked the two Amazon female warriors to dress up as Pythian girls and put on white linen dresses.

Then let Pythia lead the way, and prepare to sneak into the military camp pretending to be the gods of the Aegean Sea, so that they can meet Epines directly.At that time, in order to avoid other people's eyes and ears, Epines will definitely interview them alone.

In this way, Qin Rongshuai has the opportunity to use the mind control ability of the golden apple to easily subdue Epines, and when Kshantipos arrives, he can immediately hand over the command of the navy.

After mastering the navy, immediately lead troops into the city of Athens and disarm the city guards, so the overall situation is settled.

After the four people finished refitting, Qin Rongshuai led a group of people and walked straight to the naval barracks. They were stopped by patrolling sentries before they reached the door.

The sentinel was polite yet vigilant, and said loudly: "Please stop your steps, priests of the temple, this is the naval barracks, please explain your purpose."

Many people in the naval camp cast curious glances at the people who saw the temple, and it was crowded for a while.

It was the first time that so many people were watching, Qin Rongshuai felt a little flustered, but at this time Pythia was very calm, and said with a dignified face: "Soldier, go and inform Epines that his guest has arrived, and he needs to be seen immediately."

The sentinel immediately turned around and ran into the camp. It took more than ten minutes before he came back. During this period, Qin Rongshuai was anxious, and the seconds seemed like years. Although he knew that the camp was huge and it would take some time for the sentinel to go back and forth, it felt quite pleasant to be surrounded by people. It's good, especially if he has ghosts in his heart.

"The general said that the guests can go in, but those attendants must stay outside." The sentinel quickly brought back the message.

Qin Rongshuai nodded, and only brought Pythia and two female soldiers into the camp, led by the sentry to a small hillside, where the general's tent was stationed.

Not only is the terrain high here, but the field of vision is wide, standing on it can overlook the entire barracks.

However, Qin Rongshuai felt that the biggest advantage was that it was quiet, and he would not disturb the soldiers in the distant military camp if he moved his hands for a while.

The general's guards took a look at a few people and found that they were not carrying any weapons, so they let Qin Rongshuai and others in. After entering the camp, they saw a middle-aged man with a beard sitting behind a table, fully armored and sharp-eyed. He glanced at everyone.

"What are you doing here?" Epines frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.

Qin Rongshuai stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty General, we bring a message."

"What message?" Epines asked curiously.

Qin Rongshuai took out the golden apple from his pocket and shouted, "Kneel down!"

A light golden halo emanated from the top of the golden apple, spread out in all directions, and filled the entire camp.

"..."

However, nothing happened. Epines stared wide-eyed, looked straight at Qin Rongshuai, his eyes were gloomy, his right hand was already on the hilt of his sword, and he asked in a low voice, "What did you just say?"

Qin Rongshuai was stunned. Why didn't the golden apple work? Could it be that the one he took was a fake?

It shouldn't be, I tried it in the temple before.

"Uh, general, would you like me to try again?" Qin Rongshuai asked awkwardly.

"Come on, there are assassins!" Epines pulled out his sword with his backhand and shouted loudly.

Qin Rongshuai reluctantly took out the weapon from his pocket and threw it to the Amazon female warrior, "Oh, are we going to resort to force in the end?"

Complaining, but Qin Rongshuai didn't slow down at all, kicked over the table in front of him, and rushed towards Epines.

"Stop them!"

The guards who heard the movement outside the camp rushed in and were met with two cold rays of light. The guards who were caught off guard were chopped to the ground. The guards behind hurriedly took a few steps back. They saw two women in white skirts holding long swords and looking at each other. He stared coldly at the guards outside.

Seeing that there were only two women, the guard immediately cheered up and rushed over again holding his long sword.

Epines dodged to avoid the overturned table, swung his long sword, and slashed across.

"clang!"

With a crisp sound of metal impact, Qin Rongshuai held Epines' saber with a machete backhand, flipped his wrist, and swung the saber back.

Withdraw the machete, hold the handle of the knife with both hands and push it forward, following the movement of the knife, the whole person fits and rushes over.

White light as practiced!

Epines raised his sword in shock to block, but unexpectedly the sharp machete directly cut off his saber, and the blade pierced Epines' chest.

This lightning-fast knife stabbed Epinis's chest but could no longer stab it. A milky white light flashed from Epinis' body, blocking the blade.

At this time, the shouts outside the tent shook the sky, and a flood of guards rushed towards the tent.

Seeing that he couldn't stab it, Qin Rongshuai's eyes turned red, he used both hands hard and shouted, "Open it!"

The milky white light on Epineas flashed for a moment, then shattered, turning into little white lights and disappearing.

The snow-white blade cut through the flesh and blood of Epines's chest, and was blocked by a bone. Qin Rongshuai immediately stopped, put the knife on his neck, and slapped Epines' wound with a healing technique.

"Everyone who tells you to stop!" Qin Rongshuai shouted.

Epines was so frightened that his hands and feet went limp. Looking at the stab wounds he gradually encountered, he nodded hastily and shouted: "Stop, stop!"

The guards outside stopped hesitantly, but still tightly surrounded the tent.

"Take your men back twenty steps!"

Epines hesitated for a moment, Qin Rong's handsome hand exerted a little force, and a blood mark suddenly appeared on the skin on his neck.

"Back off, everyone back off!" Epines shouted in fright.

Epines' guards backed away slowly, and Qin Rongshuai asked the female soldiers to guard the entrance of the tent, and then began to press Epines for any evidence of collaborating with the enemy.

How could Epines say that he would die after he made it clear that he might as well deny it and try to get away with it.

The situation was deadlocked for a while, Qin Rongshuai was not in a hurry, he was waiting.

At this time, there was an uproar outside the camp, and the entire military camp was in commotion, as if something had happened.

"General Xantipos is here! General Xantipos is here!" The clerk's familiar shout sounded from outside the tent, "Everyone backs off and puts down their weapons."

The clerk Krossos was running while shouting loudly. After seeing the flag of General Xantipos, the soldiers who heard the shouting slowly retracted their weapons and looked suspiciously at General Xantipos and his entourage. barracks.

Croesus rushed to the camp first. Seeing that his boss was safe and sound, he was immediately relieved and shouted happily: "Master Qin, I have brought General Keshantipos."

Qin Rongshuai nodded and said expressionlessly: "Very good!"

Then he cut Epines' throat with a knife casually, and the blood shot out like a fountain, drawing an arc in the air.
