As Raya shouted, everyone looked at Wang Han excitedly. After doing several missions, everyone knew the importance of understanding the mission world and even the plot. It could not only help them complete the mission more easily and maximize their gains, but also reduce danger and even save their lives.
"Wang Han, quickly tell me about this world." Radon hurriedly came to Wang Han and asked. Then he even handed the mission orb to Wang Han to look at.
After examining the orb, Wang Han pondered for a moment and said, "King Xerxes I of Persia (Rodriguez Santoro) led an army of 500,000 (claiming to be 5 million) and over a thousand warships in a massive invasion of Greece. They advanced south, approaching the Democritus Pass. The arrogant Xerxes I even sent letters of surrender to various Greek city-states, hoping they would surrender without a fight. This naturally included Sparta. However, Xerxes's envoys suffered greatly amidst the fervent resistance of the Greeks. At this time, to resist the powerful enemy, the valiant King Leonidas of Sparta (Gerald Butler) personally led a coalition of approximately 7,000 Greek soldiers assembled from various places, arriving first at Thermopylae." The pass held a strategically important and treacherous position. Meanwhile, the Persian army, already heavily depleted in the fierce naval battle, was clearly unable to mount a strong offensive on land within two days. Therefore, close combat between the two armies did not immediately erupt. However, two days later, the cunning Xerxes sent an elite force to raid the pass from the rear, and the unprepared Greek defenders were quickly routed. To preserve his strength, Leonidas, facing attacks from both sides, ordered the main force of the Greek coalition to retreat rapidly. He personally led three hundred Spartan warriors to cover the rear, engaging in a bloody and desperate battle against the surging Persian army of tens of thousands. Ultimately, all three hundred warriors perished.
After saying that, Wang Han pointed to the three hundred Spartan warriors guarding the canyon entrance.
As Wang Han spoke, despair settled on everyone's faces. There was no way to avoid battle; they had no choice but to fight head-on. Perhaps some of them would survive, but only a minority would.
"How could this happen!" Radon said helplessly. There was no plot to exploit, and they couldn't stray too far from their mission objective. Plus, the terrain was treacherous, making escape difficult even if they wanted to. As for abandoning the mission, the system didn't offer that option; it was either mission success or failure. They could choose not to participate, but they absolutely couldn't attack the mission objective. But now they were caught in the middle, making it difficult not to participate. Moreover, the penalties for mission failure were severe.
