spartan ancestor

What is the backbone, it does not exist.

The pirate firmly expressed his stance of surrendering to the enemy with ghostly begging for mercy. If Aka hadn't stepped on his back, he seemed to want to rush over and hug Jacintos' thigh.

"..." Hyacinthus put the mask back on without a word, and wrapped the warm cloak tightly by the way, "Get up, let's talk in another place."

Now that the pirates have retreated, there is no need for them to stay here as gatekeepers.Hyacinthus was too lazy to deal with the troublesome strangers in the tavern, so he might as well just leave.

So, when the owner of the tavern released his weapons and led the guests to muster up their courage and rush out screaming and screaming, the door was already empty, leaving only a bunch of pirates who didn't know their life or death, but most of them were dead. For unknown reasons, their clothes were disheveled and their belts were unbuttoned.

Hyacinthus had already led the people away, throwing a heavy new purse in his hands: "Tell me, Luke. What's the deal with Persia?"

The pirate named Luke shuddered violently, with tears in his tiger eyes, and sneaked a glance at the king who was more proficient in business than him: "This, this must start with our old captain."

According to Luke, pirates and armies have always been sworn enemies on Euboea.But their old captain broke this convention and accidentally captured the heart of the consul's only daughter.

"The consul got a daughter in his later years, and after working against the old captain for more than ten years, he finally softened his attitude and allowed his daughter to be with the old captain. So in the next 30 to [-] years, we hardly had conflicts with the army on Uboa Island. , the way of making a living has changed from plundering to maritime trade, more like merchants than pirates."

"It makes some of us resentful."

Not everyone is in this business simply because they are desperate, or because they want to make a lot of money.Some people become pirates just for the thrill.

"They are eager to return to the old days, but the old captain's lingering prestige is still there, and the punishment for his subordinates who behaved outrageously is also very cruel, so no one dares to make big moves. Until some time ago, when the old captain passed away, those radicals Hooked up with Persia—"

"Those?" Jacintos turned his head and raised an eyebrow at Luke, "Why, aren't you?"

"Of course not!" Luke's eyes widened, like an offended innocent lady, "No! Most of the lives on our deck were saved by the old captain, including me. But those white-eyed wolves hijacked Hein ——It is the son of the old captain, who sent him to the Persians, and we can only hold our noses and follow their orders."

According to this, the pirates are not of one mind?Jacintos was thoughtful: "How many people support Hein?"

"Half to half," Luke scratched his head, "but Persia also sent troops. Although there are not many people, there is only one warship in total, but they are loaded with a lot of powerful new weapons, so they can take Euboia Island The army was smashed into pieces."

They happened to come to a high ground on Euboea Island. Luke looked northwest and pointed to the sea in the distance: "See? The ones docked on the shore are our ships. The one on the far left with a golden shield and A ship like a worm, belonging to the Persians."

Hein was on that ship, including those powerful new weapons.

Jacintos squinted his eyes and looked at the sea: "Hein is on the deck?"

"No, they locked Hein in the prison in the cabin." Luke finished speaking weakly, and was a little puzzled, "Why are you asking this?"

Jacintos looked up at the waning moon covered by hazy clouds in the night: "If I can save Hein, how many people do you think I can persuade to help?"

"You want to send the army to help us?" Luke was very surprised, and then he was surprised again, "No, no, no, Hein is still on the boat. If you send troops, those Persians will definitely take Hein as a hostage!"

"..." Do you have brains, but not many, Yacintos patted Luke on the shoulder, "How can the Persians take the initiative to send Hein out of the cabin without being a hostage?"

He looked calm and composed, acting as if there was a Spartan army ambushing on the island: "But I will not send troops. It is easiest to lure the Persian Lahain as a hostage if you make a noise. When the Persians' attention is all When we focus on suppressing the uprising on your side, it is convenient for us to go around to the other side of their warships to sneak in and assassinate."

Luke was dumbfounded for a moment, and forced out the question with his big head: "I, why should I trust you? Besides, although I heard that the Spartans are very powerful in stealth, what if you fail in the assassination?"

Yacintos didn't even bother to think of perfunctory excuses, and waved his hand at Luke impatiently: "I'm too lazy to explain to you. Go back and tell your companions, and think about it yourself. I only give you one night, before dawn, If you agree, just make a noise directly, and we will do it naturally."

Luke was still stuck in place, his big eyes were full of blankness, and he didn't realize that Yacinthos meant to let him go.

Aka waited impatiently, rolled his eyelids at him, and said coldly, "Get out."

"Oh, oh, okay, get out!" Luke moved slowly, clutching his head and running away.

Witnessing how other pirates were smashed to the ground by a mace, and how their corpses were touched, Luke didn't dare to turn his head when he ran away. , was surrounded by several companions: "How did you escape back, I clearly saw you being captured by the Spartan king!"

Luke wiped his face, looked around carefully, and confirmed that there were no radicals: "Actually, I was released by them. They want to cooperate with us and rescue the little captain. Listen, the situation is like this... "

Luke narrated the incident with his companions, and then said with a serious face: "Do you think there is any fraud in this? I feel a little strange, why I have never seen them join the Spartan army and discuss the assassination plan?" It doesn't seem to include the army either..."

No one paid attention to him, and everyone gathered together excitedly:

"That's all right, ha! Let Poll eat ashes! He's got a Persian backing, and we've got a Spartan backing!"

"We must cooperate with the Spartans. It is impossible for the Persians to accept us. If we continue to reject Sparta, we will be in a very embarrassing situation when the war breaks out, and we will not be able to keep the little captain."

"In terms of long-term interests, the Spartans came to us probably because they wanted to reach an alliance with Euboea Island. If it hadn't been for Boll and the others to make trouble, the little captain could have taken over the post of consul! The captain is equivalent to having the friendship of Euboea Island, which is a political game."

"That's right, so the Spartans don't joke about this kind of thing, and they put Luke, an idiot, back to inform us. I think it's a gamble, I heard that the Spartans are very good at stealth assassination." I have a hand."

"Gamble! Boll and the others must have told the Persians about the Spartan army on the island, and the Persians will definitely use us as pawns. What is the use of the little captain after we are all dead?"

Luke reached out his hand in vain: "Ah, but, I really didn't see the army..."

"Oh, use your brain, Luke!" One of the companions took the time to turn around and looked at Luke with pity, "How could a Spartan king sail across the ocean to Euboea Island alone? "

·

After letting Luke go, Jacintos didn't stay with Aka for long.

Taking advantage of the night, they approached the coast and were forced to stop when they did not reach the shore.

The patrolling pirates were prowling the shore in twos and threes, and Yacintos was lying in a bush, tilting his head slightly and whispering to Aka: "When Luke's companions make a noise, these people will be transferred away."

"..." A-Ka leaned back slightly, and glanced at Yacinthos.

Hyacinthus cast an innocent look, as if he hadn't deliberately said some nonsense just now, just to blow into A-Ka's ear.

This was so much fun, Jacintos felt as if there was a restless kitten in his heart, scratching it non-stop, so instead of calming down under A-Ka's eyes, he pretended not to Knowingly, she leaned a few inches closer, and continued to suppress her breath: "Why are you backing away?"

... Why are you talking nonsense so close?

There was a bit of intolerance in Aka's eyes, he stretched out his hand to wrap around Jacintos' arm, and turned him back to the original face: "Look at your boat."

They sneaked all the way, and it took a lot of time. After Aka turned Jacintos back, Jacintos was about to open his mouth to tease a few more words, when there was a sudden noise from the direction of the pirate ship, and the flames on the deck flickered .

The pirates who were patrolling the shore were immediately attracted attention, and they rushed towards the ship as Jacintos expected, and then the Persian ships also lit up with flames.

Hyacinthus and Akka fell silent, and while everyone's attention was focused on the direction where the noise started, the two quickly circled to the other side, took a deep breath, dived into the water, and swam towards the Persian ship.

The sea water in winter is icy cold, but this is also included in the training scope that Hyacinthus has received.

The cold only weakened part of his speed, and soon he touched the bottom of the Persian ship under the water, relying on the blind spot here, he surfaced quietly.

On the deck, the Persians seemed to have regained their composure from the chaos. Someone was yelling something sharply. Yacintos guessed that the commander was ordering the soldiers to bring the little captain to the deck.

Soon, another voice rang out, this time in a language that Jacintos could understand: "Bah! Shameless Persians, try your best to use dirty tricks. Come on! What kind of skill is it to spend money to bribe people to put medicine in our meals?"

"Your subordinates can be bribed, doesn't it mean that your ability to control them is not good?" The Persian commander taunted Hein with an awkward accent, "You are a pirate, and you are telling me to be upright?"

The voice of the conversation gradually approached, and Yacintos and Aka glanced at each other, exerted strength almost at the same time, jumped up with the force of treading water, climbed up the wooden frame structure on the ship board, and flipped up a few times deck.

With so many Persian soldiers, it was impossible to assassinate them. The dagger in Hyacinthus's hand was thrown, and the silver glow sank into the back of the commander's neck.

"Go get the weapon." A-Ka took a step forward, grasping the iron shackles that locked Hein with both hands, the muscles of his strong arms stretched slightly, and the shackles were broken from it.

It is said that those who are close to the ink are black, and Aka pushed him to meet He Yin's stunned eyes without changing his face, and said coldly: "It's just destroying the mechanism, why are you in a daze."

Fuck, isn't this worth the daze? !Hein staggered, and instinctively wrapped the iron chain in his hand around the rushing Persian soldier, grabbed the weapon with his backhand, and said that it was just destroying the mechanism, then he has struggled in prison for so long, why didn't he see any small parts broken? ?

On the deck, the pirates headed by Luke saw the little captain rescued, and their restrained offensive immediately became more brutal, only a few of them couldn't help but collapsed and shouted in the direction of the Persian ship during the fight: "What about the promised assassination? !"

Is it called assassination when the mother boards the ship?

"Focus on the result, don't care about the process." Yacintos held a pair of scimitars with his backhand, and the blades drew two semi-circular arcs. Together with a full moon, he harvested the lives of two enemies who wanted to climb up the platform, " Take care of yourselves."

While speaking, he stepped on the ladder and jumped up, turned over and landed behind the two big guys that the enemy wanted to approach.

This thing looks like a huge bow, and the arrows alone are as thick as the fingers of an adult male. Hyacinthus picked the enemy who had climbed up the platform, reached out to grab the horns of the big guy, and groped for a while , reached out and hooked the hook tongue in the center.

"Whoosh-crack!"

The arrows shot directly penetrated the three enemies standing side by side, and with good stamina, they were stuck on the ship's plank, sinking half of the arrows.

"..." Yacintos was shocked for a moment, then looked down at the big baby and sighed, "Wow."

No wonder the army on Euboea Island would be defeated. The power of this thing is far beyond human capabilities. If Apollo hadn't returned the divine power, he would have wanted to see if it was a gizmo created by Hercules when he was relaxing.

Hyacinthus couldn't help but fell to the cabin, and his eyes became hot for a moment: So, there are more such big treasures in this cabin?

Immediately, he turned his giant bow and yelled at the Persian soldiers who wanted to run to the cabin: "What do you want to do to my babies?"

"??" The Persian soldiers were pierced by arrows before they even had time to turn their heads.

The addition of the giant bow makes the battle situation fall into a one-sided situation faster.

Obviously, these Persians used the pirates, but did not give them enough trust. After withdrawing their troops, they took away the giant bows lent to the pirates.

On the entire battlefield, only the giant bow controlled by Hyacinthus was showing its might. Aka firmly guarded the entrance of the cabin. At the end of the fight, the remaining Persian soldiers even jumped into the icy sea in panic.

On Luke's side, the radical pirates also lost their morale after witnessing the defeat of the Persian soldiers. Many of them were about to flee immediately, but Hein yelled, "Don't let any one go!"

Betrayal of brothers, collusion with Persia, what kind of people are these things? Dad should have put this group of garbage to death long ago.

Hyacinthus glanced at Hein, and didn't intervene in how the little captain dealt with the traitor, just squatted on the edge of the deck and looked down.

Three or five remaining Persian soldiers floated in the cold sea, choking on the water and trying to swim far away.

Under the moonlight, a treacherous pointed triangle streaked across the slightly blood-stained surface of the sea. After disappearing in the dark for a moment, it reappeared behind a certain Persian soldier, and suddenly opened his mouth and dragged him into the water.

More triangles came cruising and devoured those soldiers.

"Persian ships have appeared on Uboia Island. It seems that Emperor Shamis really intends to ignore the civil strife and just want to expand his territory." Yacintos murmured, "I really don't know about this battle. What happened after the fight..."

Aka looked at Jacintos' worried frown, and was silent for a moment, then stretched out his hand to wrap the red cloak around Jacintos.

Just as he was about to comfort the other party, Yacintos's brows that had been huddled together and fighting just now parted suddenly, and his eyebrows became joyful. He stood up from the edge of the deck and took Aka's arm: "Go, go and see my big baby!" them!"

Holding my little baby to see the big baby, Jacintos raised his chin triumphantly, walked halfway with cheerful steps, and kicked a broken chain.

"..." Yacintos looked down, guessing that it was dropped by Hein.

His brain uncontrollably played back the scene of A-Ka breaking the thick iron chain without changing his face, and the hand on A-Ka's arm couldn't help but pause.

He coughed dryly, and slowly retracted his hands.

Little baby...ha, haha, it seems that this name is a bit inappropriate...

…………

Macedonian, Persian station.

General Shali, who was in charge of this expansion campaign, sat in his tent, listening happily to the soldiers reporting their victories on the Macedonian battlefield, and raised his glass to toast with his lieutenants: "It's a pity that our emperor can only face those enemies in the imperial capital." A pariah who might revolt. He should have come in person to taste victory with us."

The lieutenants laughed and toasted with General Sally above the military map of the Mediterranean Sea, as if celebrating in advance that they had included this piece of azure sapphire in their pockets.

"General, there's news from the spies on Euboea Island..." A soldier trotted into the tent panting, interrupting the generals' drink.

The soldier glanced at General Shali with a pale face, and said in a bit of a whisper: "The spies said that the team sent to Euboea Island was wiped out, and there was no one left, even the guns on board were taken away." It's..."

"What?!" General Sally's drunkenness disappeared, and he stood up abruptly, "Aren't there only some shabby pirates on Uboa Island? We have already controlled them, why are they all wiped out?"

The soldier whispered: "It is said that King Hyacinthus of Sparta personally led the army to Euboea Island, and all the pirates who turned to us were executed..."

"Sparta, Hyacinths, Sparta..." General Shali read through gritted teeth, sneered, and strode out of the tent, "We only sent a small boat, I hope they don't feel We have won a big battle. Just now, let us pay a visit to the 'military adviser' dispatched by His Majesty..."

Meanwhile, the underworld.

Hermes has not fulfilled the responsibility of the messenger of the underworld for a long time, not because he is incompetent, but under normal circumstances, the dead souls do not need his guidance, unless there is a large number of dead souls pouring into the underworld.

Unfortunately, the Macedonian battlefield created such a situation that Hermes had to be busy on this land for a long time before he followed the official document to pick up the dead souls trapped on Euboea Island and send them to the underworld. .

Running all the way made him careless to listen to the chatter of the dead souls, until he sent these people to the gate of hell, he heard a few words: "... Hyacinthus..."

"?!" Hermes' footsteps stopped suddenly, and he turned around, "What Hyacinthus?"

He hurriedly flew into the gate of hell to catch up with the departed souls, and he heard the curses of these souls received from Euboia Island:

"Damn Spartans, cruel executioners, just watched me fall into the sea and be eaten by sharks! Look, look at my insides, what a terrible death I am!"

"Bah, what's wrong with you? You Persians think... hey, I can understand Persian, hey? Forget it, that's not the point. The point is that you want to occupy the Mediterranean. Everyone knows your wolf ambitions. He looked at What happened to you being eaten by a shark? Did you still jump into the sea to save you? It’s not your fault that you didn’t swim past the shark! Damn, I’m miserable. It’s all your fault that you lured that King Hyacinths to Euboea Island Come on, look at me! My head was blown off by a heavy hammer!"

"Ha! You accepted our bribes and pointed your knife at your own compatriots. How much nobler are you than me?!"

Brother Reaper flew over from afar listlessly, and glanced at the official document: "They are from Uboya Island, shouldn't this batch be sent to the underworld a few days ago?"

"Macedonia has always had dead souls who need to be guided, Euboea is so far away, why should I carry them back?" Hermes squeezed to Hypnos and flipped through the official document in his hand, "show me Look, my official document only has the time and place of death of the dead soul... oh!"

"Huh?" Thanatos lowered his head.

In the past few days, he has to deal with the influx of dead souls from the Macedonian battlefield, and he has to deal with the rectification of the underworld entrusted to him by Hades. He can't even spare Hades to bring Hyacinthus back to the underworld. Don't do it in vain, how can there be someone who is so lazy to look at the causes of death of the dead souls one by one, just pick up the dead souls and send them to trial, and it's over, until now Hermes has dug out all the official documents.

Leaving aside those who indirectly caused death, among the dead souls from Euboea Island, there are quite a few souls whose death was directly caused by Yacintos.

Hermes couldn't help but click his tongue: "So many."

Hades strolled over with the three-headed dog that was finally released from the dog cage. Hearing the sound, he glanced at the official documents in the hands of Brother Death and Hermes, and said in a slightly mocking tone: "Pure and kind, huh?"

"..." Hypnos was speechless.

In fact, regarding this issue, Hades had already persuaded them with examples before, but His Majesty Pluto would take it out and mock them again to be pure and kind.

He couldn't help but said: "I always feel that what you said sounds like 'you can't hear such an obvious message hidden in the story, can you please go and change heads with Yacintos?'"

Hades showed a slightly surprised expression: "Did you hear it this time?"

Hypnos: "..."

Are you a Hydra? Why are you so poisonous?

He swallowed his anger and pretended not to hear, lowered his head and muttered: "Well, the troubadour has written a new story."

Hermes was slightly worried: "Will these ghosts be dissatisfied with these stories about Hyacinthos? Don't make trouble then."

As he was speaking, the noisy ghosts beside him had already started to wrestle:

"What nonsense are you talking about? I was watching when your head was cut off! It was clearly done by an unknown soldier. His Majesty the king has never touched an axe. Why are you putting gold on your face here! "

"Nonsense! Nonsense! I was killed by Jacintos himself, and we were deadlocked for a long time!"

"Ha! Ha! Ha! I laughed so hard, you can't even beat me, and you are still in a stalemate for a long time? You were hacked to death by an unknown pirate! Look at me, look at the ♡ piercing on my chest Hole, this was shot by His Majesty the King himself! I died at the hands of a Spartan King!"

"Hey, what are you doing? Did that majesty look at your corpse after killing you? That majesty watched my body be swallowed by sharks after killing me. That's what he did to me! Respectable opponent! Respect!"

Hermes: "..."

Hades couldn't help casting his eyes slowly: "..."

You're dead, so don't compare, right?
