To be king [Greek mythology]

It hinders the enthusiasm of these warriors to watch their idols at close range.

Hercules was used to seeing him like this, because even the warriors of Sparta respected him to some extent, but the way the men of Sparta expressed their admiration was to challenge him.

The arrival of the kings of Corinth and Sparta made the pier suddenly quiet.

The captain looked at the two kings who were looking at him, and his sweat was breaking down.

"Captain, what are you worried about?" Hercules' eyes fell on the captain at some point, and he said with a half-smile.

"No, it's nothing." The captain shivered, looked up at the two kings, shrunk his neck, and tightly held his trousers with his hands hanging on both sides, looking extremely nervous.

"Where does this merchant ship go?" asked the King of Corinth.

Surpus looked around and raised his eyebrows when he saw a strong man carrying goods and turned away from the pier, and reached out to touch the extra Typhon's tooth on his neck.

Covering the eyes of others with the palm of his hand, a thin black line emerged from the cusp of the tooth, swam out from the tooth, circled around Thurpus' hand at a very fast speed, rubbed it intimately, and then quietly Disappeared in the void without a sound.

The next moment, the man carrying the goods paused, turned and walked back, and passed through the crowd.

The captain turned his head and saw the man, his eyes widened instantly.

Thurpus remained calm, and the King of Corinth looked at the man in surprise. The king didn't think this man looked familiar, but he looked at the costume of a Corinthian warrior.

The man silently glanced at King Corinth, put down the goods he was carrying, and pried open the four corners of the box.

People's eyes were inevitably attracted by his actions.

The captain's face changed, and he pushed the man away, panting heavily, looking very bad.

"Where does your merchant ship lead to?" Surps looked at the captain with a smile, hooked his fingers, a thin black line wrapped around his fingers again, and helped the animal tooth on his neck. The blackness disappeared instantly.

The captain glanced at Thurps, "It's leading to... Ke, Crete!"

Thurps looked surprised, and raised his chin towards the captain's back, "Crete? It seems that your sailors don't know they are going to Crete."

The captain gritted his teeth and said nothing.

These sailors were all newly hired by him in Corinth. The original route was to go to Salamis, which is now under the rule of Athens. He has also been traveling between Corinth and Salamis.

But now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sparta has hooked up with Corinth, and the relationship between Sparta and Athens is quite hostile.

"Open the box." Surpus gestured to Hercules.

Hercules spread his hands, lifted the dizzy man and the captain straight away, and opened the box.

Inside the box is a set of Spartan armor and melee weapons.

It is the latest batch prepared by Prometheus for the Spartan warriors in order to go to Argos and Athens.

Thurps' face suddenly sank.

He glanced at the captain. The leader of the merchant ship had beads of sweat on his forehead, his face was pale, and he looked as if his mind had been punctured.

Sparta's war equipment has always been set for each person, and there are only two possibilities for others to obtain it. Some warriors were killed and traitors.

Preferably the former.

But if the former is also quite a bad thing.

Thurps was reluctant to lose any of his troops before the battle. After all, it is not uncommon for the Spartan warriors favored by Ares to have one against three.

"Assemble, re-count the number of people." Thurps closed the box, his voice low with obvious anger.

The warriors behind him also showed anger, took orders, turned and left, and went straight to the camp where they were stationed.

King Corinth glanced at Thurpus, surprised at the young king's keen sense of war, but he was a little uncertain whether it was true or if Sparta was giving him a blow.

But no matter which possibility it is, neither the captain nor the man can escape.

After all, he was wearing the military uniform of a Corinthian warrior, and the King of Corinth must give Thurps an explanation.

By the way, it is also good to remove the traitor.

Surpus didn't care about watching the King of Corinth's handling. He said goodbye to the king and walked to the Spartan camp.

Hercules smacked his lips and stepped up to follow.

"This is not the only spy in Athens," said Hercules.

"This should be the first group to go, the explorers. After all, we have only been here for less than half a day." Thurps said, "But with this, it will be difficult for subsequent spies to leave Corinth from the main channel smoothly. , Collins is now tied to a rope with us, and they will definitely work harder than us in this matter."

Because the distance between Sparta and Athens is much farther than that between Corinth and Athens.

Moreover, it is not a matter of a day or two for the city-states in the Attica region to covet this side. King Corinth would not be so stupid as to trip up Sparta at this time.

What's more, there is still Aphrodite here.

When they arrived at the camp, the warriors had already lined up, neatly dressed and waiting for the review.

Thurps saw that the original phalanx was missing two or three corners, and his eyes were a little gloomy.

"It seems that there are quite a few people who have been inserted in the main city of Corinth." Even if they are alone, it is not easy to kill the Spartan warriors, and it is even more difficult to capture them alive. Taking a deep breath, "Go and find those who are missing. They want to see people when they are alive, and they want to see corpses when they die."

The warriors did not doubt the king's decision at all. After receiving the order, they were divided into tasks and all dispersed.

If there is a traitor in the Spartan Warriors and he leaves the team smoothly, it will have a great impact on the future.

Although the heralds have always been trusted warriors, at certain important times, they are still forced to choose people who don't know the basics.

If there was a traitor, he went back to Argos or Sparta lied about the situation here, blocking the reinforcements behind, and Thurps would be quite uncomfortable staying here.

After all, in terms of the mobility of the spies in Athens, the King of Corinth might not be able to stop all the spies.

Even if Sparta's follow-up reinforcements were only blocked for a short while, it would be a fatal wound to the ever-changing battle situation.

At this time, you will think of the benefits of having a god by your side.

Thurps glanced at Hercules.

Too bad it can't fly.

Gee.

"What do you want with that disgusting look in your eyes..." Hercules felt very hurt.

"It's nothing, it's just that it's inconvenient to think that you don't have a real godhead." Thurps was very honest.

With a godhead, at least he can fly.

Hercules: ...

You despise me for this.

There is simply no love.

Thurpus touched the teeth hanging around his neck, "But it's okay if you don't have a godhead."

"What do you mean?" Hercules was slightly taken aback.

"Because you are free, if you become a god, you can fight with me everywhere?" Thurps prevaricates casually.

Hercules suddenly felt that what he said was very reasonable.

"Since the situation has changed, let's build a bridge now." Surps poked Hercules, turned and walked towards the isthmus.

Then Thurpus received a letter from Crete while he was working as an overseer on the edge of the isthmus.

Naturally, the sender was not Hermes, but the clone of Thanadus.

The letter was not long, Thurps glanced at it roughly, and after excluding unnecessary love words, he said that within five days Minos would be able to take the power of Crete to himself.

Thurps calculated the time when Ares would arrive if he was not blocked.

That's about five days to a week.

But in terms of distance, if Athens' spies successfully leave Corinth and pass the news back to Athens, Athens will take the lead in defending or even directly organizing an attack, which will definitely take the lead.

After all, if the wind is down, the water route is much easier than the land route.

"Tell me, how many troops will Athens line up in Salamis and Megara?" Surpus turned his head to look at Hercules, who was cutting down trees, as if asking and talking to himself.

Hercules was angry and rolled his eyes: "I don't know."

Thurps nodded, "I don't think you will know either."

"..."

I'm not witty but you can't tease me like that!

Hercules slammed the tree trunk in anger!

Chapter 78

Hercules built a bridge here, and there was a lot of movement.

Thurps originally wanted Hercules to build the bridge in the dead of night, but he also thought that the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

After all, in today's environment, not everyone dares to wander outside late at night, and most city-states will close the city gates at night to prevent entry and exit.

But it's a pity that he overestimated Collins' defense against traitors and eyeliners, and at the same time underestimated the action of spies from all sides.

Anyway, they have been caught in the action now, and Thurps can only choose to hurry up.

Surpus took the letter sent by Thanadus' clone, looked at Hercules for a while, said hello, and turned to leave the isthmus.

The clone of Thanadus has been very free recently, probably smelling the smell of the upcoming war, that clone directly squatted in Corinth, waiting for the development of the matter.

Thurps did not follow the invitation of King Corinth to live in the palace arranged for him, but lived in the camp with the Spartan warriors.

He wrote a reply letter to Minos, in which he wrote his own future plans and estimated time, and raised the issue of faith a little bit. As for what decision to make afterwards, that is Minos' business.

Naturally, the one who sent the letter would not be Hermes, who can't find his shadow now, but directly
