spartan ancestor

Although the rain from the westerly wind had ceased, the sky in Sparta was still gloomy.

A white dove cut through the continuous dark clouds, circled over Sparta, and finally flew into a building covered with red tiles.

"...I don't know what you are hesitating about, father." Cleo's tone was full of irritability, he grabbed the pigeon with his rough hands, and untied the cloth strip on it, "We have raised the reward order to hundreds of thousands of silver coins, There is no news until now. It is obvious that the group of useless mercenaries did not succeed at all. According to the time calculation, Yacintos and that Oss have already finished the match, and now they should return to Spar soon... oh !Damn it!"

He almost jumped up and cursed: "I'll just say—" Cleo just missed a few words, and met his father's face as dark as the bottom of a pot, "...you can see for yourself!"

Angrily, he stuffed the cloth strip into Old Kesang's hand, and sat down on the chair to sulk.

This is the settlement of the Eurypontides family. After the painstaking management of the last five generations of kings, even if it is only a reception hall, it is as spacious as two meeting halls.

An eagle holding a pomegranate is carved on the blue stone pillar, which symbolizes the supreme authority and the continuation of the blood of descendants.The plump pomegranate has cracked its skin and is dotted with gold and precious stones, symbolizing the wealth bestowed by God.

At this time, there were a dozen or so people sitting or standing in the hall, each stepped out and stamped their feet, and Sparta would tremble three times.They are either the lifelong elders in the Senate, or the powerful people of the great aristocracy with ancient origins, but now, almost all of them have eagerness and contradictions on their faces.

They wanted to see the banner, but they were also afraid that the content on the banner was not what they wanted to see.

Old Kesang calmly unfolded the cloth, read it intently for a while: "..."

His steady hands trembled, and he slammed the cloth in anger: "Those useless mercenaries! What do you mean? What do you mean by 'Oss has won the crown' and what do you mean by 'Unfortunately, Ellis's allies Also accidentally down'?!"

"??" The people who were still sitting calmly also stood up suddenly, and squeezed a few steps to the front of the crowd. As for those who had just seen the content clearly, a heated discussion broke out:

"We pay so much silver to these mercenaries just to send us a rag and tell us 'sorry, but Oss has won the laurels'?! They should have been in Argyades when the brothers Kill the brothers before reaching Elis!"

"What is 'accidental downfall'?? According to the previous contacts, Yagame is the most likely candidate to succeed Ellis as the consul. His family has deep roots in Elis and runs an underground casino. There is no shortage of connections. Silver coin, why did it suddenly fall?"

"Are you kidding me, this group of shameless mercenaries actually said, 'Everything is a conspiracy of Os'? Zeus testified, if these mercenaries were not in front of me, I would tear their mouths apart now!' Orth's plot'? If they make up a plot that is the plot of that cunning Hyacinthus, I am willing to believe it!"

"That's enough," someone in the furious crowd finally spoke out, suppressed all the curses, and calmly analyzed, "Instead of worrying about these irreversible results, it's better to think about how to reverse the decline based on the current situation."

Old Kesang drank a few sips of cold water before barely holding the table and sitting down. He said in a bad tone, "At first we thought it would be impossible to fulfill our ambition without fighting, but now it seems impossible."

"It's impossible, and it's not necessary!" Cleo said angrily, "The gods have already stood by our side and conveyed to us the oracle, saying that if Sparta wants to go to glory, it is bound to pour blood on the land Why do you have any hesitation? Well now, Os not only has an invincible record, but also won the honor of Olympic champion, and people in the whole Mediterranean will know his name! Originally, those Spartan people It is said that Os is the real son of Hercules, and now they probably want to make a statue of Oss and enshrine it in the temple!"

"So, we have to let all the dust settle before these news spread." One of the elders suddenly turned around and said to the rest of the people, "Our news came relatively quickly. Yacintos and the others still have two It will take about a day to reach Sparta. My friends, go and prepare a rich sacrifice, and offer a sacrifice to the West Wind God who has cast his favor on us!"

…………

The skies over Sparta were cloudy.

In the thick clouds, there was the faint sound of Yin Lei rolling, as if it symbolized that some kind of ominous existence was about to come.

But in fact, the god of West Wind is still trapped in Zeus's first temple dedicated to adultery, wiping the ground with a purple face.

He didn't want to be in this damn place at all, but Zeus was in the backyard of this temple, messing with some fairy.Hermes went to lure away Hera who had come to arrest the rape, and Zeus personally entrusted him with the important task of releasing the wind, so he could only stay here bitterly and stand up for his post.

Fortunately, before Hermes called him, he hid in the woods of Arcadia, healed his wounds and drifted to Sparta with his consciousness, and appeared in front of the group of old men who were hostile to Hyacinthus. He got himself, bewitched them to become his believers, and issued an "oracle".

Now, he felt that the group of old orange peels were offering sacrifices to him, so he must have made good progress in completing the oracle, right?

With a tinge of joy and anticipation, the God of the West Wind, using the connection between the statue and the god, turned his ear to listen to the report of the old Xan who was far away in Sparta: "... What did you say??"

Old Kesang recounted the news from the banner, and then said in a pious tone: "Great God of West Wind, I am very worried now. If the war does not go well, maybe the Yagiade family will rise because of it."

Xifeng God was so angry that he fell on his back, and almost couldn't help yelling: Are you worried?You worry ass!

What did he say before, "Sparta wants to go to glory, it must pour blood on the land", where did these idiots not understand? ?Wasn't he hinting clearly enough? ?Worry now... You should have done it long ago!

West Wind God took a deep breath, gritted his teeth to maintain the dignity of the god, and sent a message to Old Kesang and others through the statue: "My people, don't be afraid. I chose you, which means that you are destined to Fulfill the oracle. Go ahead and start the war to glory!"

That's right.Go ahead, destroy the House of Argiades, destroy the peace and stability of Sparta, destroy everything that Hyacinthus values—and then destroy Hyacinthus who dared to reject him.

Jacinthos deserved this despair and pain.

The old Xan and others far away in Sparta did not know the mind of Zephyrus God, nor did they know the past between Zefeng God and Hyacinthus. They really thought that Zefeng God chose them because they were destined to lead Sparta Up to glory.

Old Kesang was affirmed by the gods, and he stood up from the altar confidently: "Friends." He spread his arms and smiled, "This moment is finally coming, there will be no more stupid citizen meetings, There is no need to worry about another royal family with frequent freaks. We will build a brand new Sparta through the weapons in our hands—”

Everyone present smiled tacitly, even though what they wanted in their hearts was different.

Old Xang thought that he was about to become the sole lord of Sparta; the nobles thought happily in their hearts: In the future, they finally don’t have to worry about whether the Citizens’ Assembly will overturn their proposals, and they don’t have to worry about the Arquitect family’s actions. The group of freaks will talk about ""redistribution of land" and "ethnic equality".

After this cleansing, they can annex the land as much as they want. Those black laborers and border residents will always work hard for them like cattle in the black land, and they only need to whip these lazy guys , urging them to produce the fruits of labor for their enjoyment.

Old Kesang slowly withdrew his hand, with a kind of complacency in his smile.

He thought, yes, I've already made enough gestures.In writing this section of future history, there is nothing to blame for my behavior. Before the gods issued the oracle like that, I was "benevolent" and did not want to hurt my compatriots. "Here, he raised his arms to Old Una and the others very sadly.

·

Two days later.

"Why do I feel like it's going to rain again?"

In the settlement of the Algiade family, Aizhi leaned on a spear and looked up at the sky. After a while, he bumped Nome: "Did you hear the thunder?"

Norm glanced at the sky: "It's a bit strange."

In the summers of previous years, there was not a drop of rain to be held back for several months. This year, it has been raining for a long time, and the dark clouds have not yet dispersed.

But they don't care if it's going to rain, they don't care about it, the two of them continued to stand after muttering, guarding their posts, until the little girl from Helaus in the Yacintos courtyard came down from the foot of the mountain with a small basket. Trotting over: "Aizhi! Aizhi!"

"Huh?" Ai Zhi straightened her waist and hit the ground with her spear, "Who bullied you?"

"No... no," Tana panted, raised her hand to wipe her sweaty face, raised her head and frowned, "It's just a little strange, have you heard of any military training activities in the city-state recently? Where is the army returning to the city?"

"?" Aizhi and Noam looked at each other, "Why do you ask? As far as I know, there is no such thing."

Tana pointed in the direction of the back door of the Acropolis: "That's strange. I just picked wild fruits for the light-haired pig that His Highness caught on the mountain. I saw a long and big team coming in from the back door, all wearing armor. And the soldiers guarding the gate didn't stop..."

The little girl's voice suddenly dropped because she saw Her Majesty Una walking slowly behind Aizhi.

Hearing this, he glanced at Tana, then turned to the direction of the back door of the Acropolis, and then fell to the meeting hall.

After Hyacinthus and Oss left, the group of idiots in the Senate began to rack their brains to cause trouble for him. Today, it was rare that there was no entanglement, but the meeting ended early.

He felt a little suspicious at the time, but now after hearing Tana's words...

The meeting, which could not wait to end, poured into the armed forces of the Acropolis without a sound.

His Majesty Una stretched out his hand with a calm expression, and took the small basket in the little girl's hand: "Aizhi, Noam, go to the barracks to mobilize troops in my name, as many as you can."

He turned his feet and turned back in the direction he came and went.

"?!" Ai Zhi subconsciously chased after two steps, "However, the deployment of the army also needs to be approved by the Citizens' Assembly and the Senate. Where are you going? What are you going to do? Do you need my help?"

His Majesty Una kept walking: "Just tell the army that it has been approved. I will go back to the courtyard. Let the tiger go back to the mountain. No help is needed."

Ai Zhi: "..."

He stopped slowly.

Longitudinal... The tiger returns to the mountain?

which tiger?Is there an extended meaning or those tigers in the backyard... huh?
