At dawn.
Thermopylae.
At this moment, wherever the Spartans looked, there was silence.
Now, a thin morning mist with a slightly black smoke covered the narrow valley of Thermopylae, and even the air was two degrees hotter than usual.
Even the seagulls did not dare to approach the nearby sea. They just circled far away in the sky, as if waiting for something.
At one end of the valley, three hundred Spartans were stationed at the entrance to the pass.
The Spartans were wearing heavy armor. They didn't speak or move, just looked in the distance in one direction.
There, a Persian vanguard appeared, but the Persian vanguard was weaker than Leonidas thought.
They completely defeated the enemy's vanguard with almost no effort, relying solely on the advantages of terrain and formation.
Of course, Leonidas was also very clear that if he killed the envoy and defeated the vanguard, they would soon face the wrath of the Persians.
At this time, Leonidas was standing at the front of the line.
His armor was no different from that of other warriors, the only marking being the bright red feathers on his head.
He was feeling the smell and humidity of the air, and the change in the air alone made him realize that the number of Persians was far greater than he had imagined.
So Leonidas kept his eyes fixed on the mountain road in the distance.
Because it's already dawn.
And everything was so quiet that it was too strange.
At this moment, on the other side of the hill, Lin Ke and the three of them came to the highest point of a cliff.
The wind is very strong here, and the road up is very steep.
But because of this, no one could find Lin Ke.
The same is true of what he observed in the civilization panel.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, this place is too dangerous... What is that?"
Ramses was originally worried that it was too dangerous for Lin Ke to come here, but the dense metal torrent in the distance immediately attracted Ramses' attention.
Even the knowledgeable Nan Tong and the succubus were stunned for a moment when they saw the scene in the distance.
After all, no one could imagine how the Persians could muster such a large army.
"The Persians will soon launch their first attack."
When the other three heard Lin Ke's words, they immediately showed nervousness in their eyes.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! The Persians have so many people. Protecting the Spartan king under such circumstances is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"
"They are completely outnumbered. If they are completely mixed up with the enemy, it will be difficult for me, your humble servant, to cast magic to help the Spartan king!"
Nan Tong raised his voice slightly at this time. Of course, this was because Lin Ke’s plan was to save the king of Sparta.
However, after they saw the size of the Persian army, they realized that this was an extremely difficult task.
Even Ramses shook his head.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, I'm afraid the King of Sparta cannot survive this round of attack."
"Please have this subject of yours go down immediately and make our wishes known to the King of Sparta."
"This way, you can also achieve your plan to stop the war..."
However, Lin Ke just shook his head slightly after listening to Ramses' words.
"You underestimate the Spartans."
Of course, what Lin Ke said was not without reason.
In his knowledge and memory, Sparta had successively blocked several powerful attacks from Persia.
Their king was forced to leave the canyon after being surrounded by the Persians at Thermopylae and died in battle under the iron hoof of the Persians.
In other words, the king is still safe now, at least in Lin Ke's memory.
However, there are other reasons as well.
Because Lin Ke could see in the civilization panel that the three hundred Spartan warriors below were [Greek heavy infantry] that could be identified by the civilization panel.
Compared with ordinary [Spearmen], this type of [Greek Heavy Infantry] has higher combat effectiveness and will gain additional combat effectiveness bonus when fighting against heavy and light units.
"[Greek Heavy Infantry]: If adjacent to at least one Heavy Infantry, increase combat power by 10 points."
The army sent by the Persians now is not displayed in the civilization panel.
The Persians' most powerful [Immortal Army] is still in the camp.
This is the most important reason why Lin Ke is sure that the King of Sparta will not be killed now.
Of course, even if an accident occurs, Lin Ke can still provide assistance to the king of Sparta here.
His [Marianu Chariot Archers] were already ready in the distance, and the area where the Spartans were stationed was just within the maximum attack range of his [Marianu Chariot Archers].
Of course, unless Lin Ke could confirm that the Spartan king was really in danger of his life, he would not act rashly.
However, after hearing Lin Ke's words, the other three widened their eyes.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, but today, their number is even greater than the Persian corpses thrown off the cliff before!"
"That's nearly 10,000 people!"
"Each of them throwing a weapon at those Spartans would be enough to completely overwhelm them!"
Nan Tong raised his voice at this time, because he could see the Persians in the distance beginning to gather together. That dense, moving crowd like ants was the Persian army that came to attack the Spartans today.
After all, the size of the assault force alone is enough to be compared with the Hebrew Empire army in the Battle of Sun City.
In Nan Tong's opinion, the situation is even worse than that in Sun City.
After all, the Persians not only had messengers of God, but also many types of soldiers that Nan Tong had never seen before. On the other side of the coast, he could also see many huge rhinos and elephants.
Even the fleet of Holy Egypt could not withstand the attack of the Persian vanguard.
When Lin Ke heard Nan Tong's words, he just shook his head slightly.
"The terrain here is very favorable for the Spartans."
"What we need to do is observe both sides and obtain more intelligence."
"The Spartans here are not the same warriors as the Spartans who invaded Holy Egypt, Nan Tong."
"Just keep an eye on the King of Sparta."
"He's the guy with the red feathers on his head."
After the words fell, Ramses, Nan Tong and the succubus did not say anything else, but just looked at the scene below with suspicion.
"Even more powerful than those guys who came to the land of Holy Egypt..."
Nan Tong murmured softly, opening his eyes wider.
