To be king [Greek mythology]

Continue the trial of the dead.

sparta.

Three days later, Thurps looked at the roughly formed rules and reward and punishment system engraved on the slate before him, and was very surprised at the action of the Spartans.

Just do what you say, and move extremely quickly, and pursue efficiency and quality. This is the Spartan trained under iron and blood training.

"I thought few Spartans could read." Thurps turned his head and said to Prometheus.

"It's true that no one knows how to read." Prometheus raised his chin and pointed to the people who were carrying the stone slabs. "The people with the highest level of literary education in the entire city-state are in front of you."

The so-called highest level of education is nothing more than knowing more words.

Thurps felt a little ashamed at this.

It is simply incomprehensible how Sparta, which relies entirely on conquest by force, exists until now.

Without the blessing of Ares, the Spartans would probably be strong for a period of time due to force, but they would eventually perish.

But now, that possibility is much lower.

Thurps didn't think he would be the one to save Sparta, but he had great confidence in Sparta after his own existence.

After all, on paper, he was already the king of Sparta.

Although he is inexperienced and very young, this does not affect his confidence and enthusiasm for his city-state.

Sparta is a completely dictatorial ruling system. In the past, apart from the king, Ares, the warriors and the warriors who have survived the battlefield until they were 40 years old and have not died, have never participated in the war. over decision.

The absolute concentration of power in Sparta gave Thurps a taste of the sweetness when he just arrived here.

After reading the content on the slate, he made slight revisions, and after referring to Prometheus' opinions, he finally conveyed it.

When the Spartans were founded in Athens three years ago, the king at the time left Sparta and returned to Olympus because he wanted to please Ares. At the time of the heel, he sent troops to conquer Athens.

The soldiers were divided into two groups, half of them went by water, and the other half by land.

In the end, because of leaking the news, Athens, which relied on natural dangers to defend the city, fought back. It is not an exaggeration to say that the battle was defeated across the board.

After Olympus was ridiculed by Athena who had just won the faith of Athens, Ares was so angry that he fought Athena directly. Although Zeus intervened to separate them, Ares The strength in combat power is still obvious.

Even so, Ares' anger didn't dissipate a bit, and he directly sent a miracle to kill the king.

The Spartans were not in chaos when they lost their leadership. They recuperated and recuperated as usual, and there was order and no chaos in three years.

"There is no leader among the warriors." Surps was extremely surprised. "How do they maintain such an order?"

"Because all they know is that they are loyal to Sparta and Ares." Prometheus said, "Their thoughts are highly unified, and the most common thing is to defend Sparta."

Of course Thurps knew this, but it still made him incomprehensible that no confusion happened, "But what if an accident happened?"

"Under absolute force, any accident is a joke." Prometheus shook his head, "They are under the care of Ares, so they don't have to worry about it at all."

They just need to get stronger, stronger and stronger without psychological pressure.

"But you said that at dusk..."

"Yes." Prometheus nodded, "That's exactly what I want to tell you."

Thurps sat opposite Prometheus, watching him without speaking.

"You should be wondering why I came to you. You are not the only prophet in this world." Prometheus thought about his words, "I think Thanadus also said that Nix has seen you, he said You are special in this universe."

Thurps was not as flustered as last time this time, he nodded calmly as usual.

"I guess you know why you are special, but you don't want to say it." Prometheus said generously, "Me and Nix—or those gods who know that dusk is coming, I hope you It can be the light that leads mankind to break through the night after dusk."

Thurps was taken aback, he didn't expect that he had such a task of saving the world.

It looks like it is very difficult.

"You need more growth and more fame, and you need to become an existence that can set off huge waves in the entire human race, so I agree with Ares to bring you to Sparta." Prometheus After expressing his thoughts, he was silent for a while, "I know you want to take back Athens and rebuild Syreis, which is also very beneficial to the height I hope you can reach, so..."

Thurpus pursed his lips, he could guess what Prometheus was going to say next.

"So you have plenty of time to prepare for the next battle against Athens. Even if it takes a few years or decades, we can afford to wait." Prometheus said.

Thurps sighed and said, "But you can only win, not lose."

"Yes." Prometheus was quite satisfied with the understanding of his students.

Thurpus was silent for a long time, and looked up at Prometheus for a while, and snorted softly.

"I never thought I would fail, teacher."

Just kidding, I am the man who wants to conquer the stars and seas to save the world!

I am the center of the universe!How can you lose to Athens!

Thurpus is full of confidence in the future of himself and Sparta.

You are the most special one in the entire universe. This kind of statement made Sudsurpus feel extremely sour.

I was in such a happy mood as if I had eaten Xuan Mai, and I couldn't stop at all.

Chapter 67

Once again the Spartan warriors triumphed.

The famous king of Sparta and his warriors, after dealing with the follow-up affairs of the city-state, are enjoying the fruits of victory on the flat square outside the new city-state they conquered, facing the night sea .

Thurpus sat on the root of the tree, holding a glass of wine exuding the sweet smell of grapes in his hand.

He didn't put on the solemn clothes that belonged to the king. He was dressed in armor like his warriors, with the helmet aside, and smiled as he watched his warriors show off their heroic achievements and majestic physique to each other. .

After the initial excitement of the victory wore off, Thurps felt a little tired.

The city-state they captured was called Argos, and it was an extremely wealthy and prosperous coastal city-state.

The natural and excellent fjords and excellent location make Argos' maritime trade extremely developed. It is not far from the islands in the Aegean Sea. It only takes less than a month for a captain who is familiar with the waterway to complete it. two trade exchanges.

The extremely convenient water transportation allowed Argos to own a large amount of wealth even by collecting tolls from several surrounding city-states.

What's more, Argos doesn't just rely on other city-states, they also have abundant food production in their own territory.

The wealth of Argos is extremely famous throughout Greece-of course, it is much inferior to the strength and wealth of Attica.

The warriors were so excited that they couldn't sleep tonight, because they could clearly sense that their king, who had been dormant for several years, would really take up the sharp blade in his hand and slash at Athens, which had given them setbacks!

The fall of Argos was just their first shot at more victories.

In fact it is.

Surps looked down at the wine glass in his hand, and the wine reflected Surps' slightly tired face.

Six years allowed him to grow from a teenager to a young man, and also allowed him to change from a prophet who was newly appointed as the king of Sparta to a savior who saved the entire Sparta.

Of course, that title was not spoken by the Spartan warriors, but by the slaves who made contributions and watched their descendants be deslaved.

What the Warriors care about is not these, they care more about the honors Thurps promised.

What Thurps has done most in the past six years is to constantly improve the reward and punishment system, and there are some extremely simple and crude rules.

And start some wars that can make slaves and warriors deeply understand how these rules and systems are implemented.

Of course, the targets of these wars will definitely not be directed at those prosperous and powerful large city-states, but some small city-states around them that are not so well-known and unwilling to submit to Sparta.

How could others be allowed to snore on the side of the couch, and Surps mercilessly brought these city-states under the rule of Sparta.

Sparta needs the combat power of young adults, slaves, and more resources.

And Sparta consumed too much in war, and the collection of those resources could not keep up with the speed of consumption.

But the loss of such small fights is far less than the benefit gained.

Originally, the Spartan warriors could not understand the reason why Thurps would attack the surrounding small city-states, but later the renovation and changes of the Spartan city fortifications and the equipment they wore made them quickly understand the king's intentions. intention.

Warriors need more than just food.

Thurps felt that since the warriors regarded themselves as the blades of Sparta, he would try to polish the outside of these blades to be sharper and tougher as much as possible. Although blowing hair and breaking hair could not be done, it could directly pierce the leather armor Even penetrating copper armor can be considered.

The Spartan warriors faced those small city-states with the help of Tekula
