"What exactly are you after?" Ota frowned.

"Pursue what? No, no, my friend, you've made a mistake." He waved his finger with a furious smile.

"The point is not the result, but the process. Some people choose the means for the result, and some people choose the result for the means, and I belong to the latter."

He waved his hand gently, and a light blue crack appeared in front of them

"Go in and face your destiny and future."

Chapter 28. The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta

In 492 BC, a mighty war broke out in the Mediterranean.

Darius I, the king of the Persian Empire, sent a million troops to attack Greece from land and sea seven years ago, hoping to conquer the source of European civilization, so as to achieve the huge territory of the Persian Empire across Eurasia.

Darius I's invasion ended in failure. The ambitious monarch's fleet was first destroyed by a hurricane on Cape Athos, and the land was also attacked by Thracians, and was forced to retreat.

Darius I, who was unwilling to fail, assembled 400 warships to expedition to Greece, but under the two-day 246-kilometer marathon of the long-distance runner Felipides, he connected the Greek cities to establish the Delian League, and faced the Persian army with the Marathon Plain. In the end, he won a complete victory with an incredible 162:6400 battle loss ratio, and Darius I was also attacked by the Athenian consul Themistocles on the way to retreat, and he died with an arrow.

The more civilized, stronger, and more disciplined Persian Empire fell into the sand again and again in Greece.

There is no doubt that it is full of strangeness and mysteries, because whether it is the cross-country long-distance running marathon that exceeds the normal endurance level of human beings, and the 10,000-brand army that is loosely pulled back to repel 50,000 Persian elites, or the Persian Empire. The fleet capsized several times on the sea, and everything was full of legendary charm.

But behind the legend, there is often some incredible but despicable mysterious power.

When Darius I was dying, he asked his son, the cowardly Xerxes, not to repeat his mistakes, not to attack Greece, and let them fend for themselves, because only God O can defeat the Greeks.

After the death of Darius I, his favorite general, the ambitious Artemisia, told a grieving Xerxes that Darius I meant to become a god-king and then conquer Greece.

Xerxes, wrapped in Siri gauze soaked in ancient potions, walked over the Persian wilderness, the cowardly child being devastated by the fever and heat.

At last he came to a mysterious place, he stepped into the golden pool, and when he reappeared, his eyes were as scarlet as burning coals, and his body was haunted by divine light, Artemisia Killed everyone who ever had contact with Xerxes. All who he loved, who he loved, who knew about Xerxes' past, are dead.

Athens, Sparta, Thebes, Mycenae... Xerxes swore that all the Greek city-states that had brought him shame and suffering would kneel before him!

Even the high Olympian gods, because he, Xerxes, is already the king of gods!

And now, Xerxes is reborn as a god-king, and he has once again launched an attack on Greece. Artemisia and the sea attacked Athens, and Xerxes, with his invincible undead army, launched an attack on Thermopylae.

Standing in front of them was the Sparta kingdom, which had always been known for its military power.

Sparta implements the most brutal elimination mechanism. At birth, weak children are abandoned. Every Spartan child has to undergo military training. At the age of seven, he is taken away from his parents to live in military camps until They became an honorable member of Sparta.

Xerxes sent his messenger to Sparta, and the arrogant messenger told King Leonidas to offer the soil and water of Sparta and kneel to the god-king, and Xerxes would give Greece to Leonidas .

Leonidas' answer was to kick the messenger into the deep well of Sparta, let him go to get the water of Sparta, and let him be buried in the soil of Sparta.

Xerxes swore to trample every Spartan land, sprinkle coarse salt on every farmland, and at the same time he sent his messengers to buy Sparta's Elder, so that Leonidas could not mobilize the Spartan army, and could only take 300 elite 'trained inner guards' to guard the hot spring pass.

And now, the great god-king of Xerxes has brought the army of darkness, the coldness and darkness of the immortal army will freeze the entire Hot Spring Pass, the warriors who belong to another world will be among the warriors of the god-king and Sparta Choose a side.

Conquer Sparta or resist Xerxes.

Is it to kill the **** king Xerxes, or to destroy the three hundred warriors of Sparta.

It was such a choice that was placed in front of Loki and Freya's family.

After having "watched" the entire "movie" of the Spartan Three Hundred Warriors, Finn scratched his face in confusion.

The TV is very epic and very entertaining, especially the scene where King Leonidas knelt down and threw a spear at King Xerxes. It can be said that the blood is boiling and it is very exciting.

But he really didn't understand what Fury was trying to do to get them to such a "strange" place, and to be honest, he never knew there was a place called Sparta and Persia.

But Finn, who had heard the Lord God Loki mention the 'mysterious man' base, had a little idea in his heart.

But in any case, the first thing before them is to solve this task.

Main quest (choose one of two): Help the Persian Empire to eliminate 300 Spartan warriors and kill King Leonidas or help King Leonidas to repel Xerxes' army and kill King Xerxes

Mission success reward: unknown, mission failure penalty: unknown

There is such a simple sentence on each of their watches. But since the initiative is completely out of hand, even the most impulsive among them will not want to let this 'job' fail.

They have already been reduced to fish and meat on someone else's sticky board. If you don't want to die, why don't you have to obey other people's orders?

"That's needless to say? Of course I want to help Sparta!" Allen touched his spear and was eager to try

Although Leonidas was a mortal, his performance in the 'movie' undoubtedly conquered Alan, a real man, a man of blood boiling, king and rebel!

Allen's words are naturally recognized by most people, and King Leonidas' performance in this movie is naturally flawless. An image of a powerful King Xerxes who rebelled against the mighty King Xerxes for the sake of his country, his family, and everything he loves, but ultimately failed because of the betrayal of a despicable villain. Naturally, it is extremely regrettable.

This high-scoring film from Zach Snyder is naturally very appealing in an era when most heroic stories are dictated by narration, and Leonidas' image is more in line with the hero's attitude in their minds.

Even though they knew it was false, they all hoped to change Leonidas' sad fate.

"I don't think so." Hedin was the first to object.

The white goblin pushed his glasses. They were now standing on the edge of the cliff at Wenquan Pass. One side was the Persian army competing for power, and the other side was the three hundred Spartan warriors who were waiting in battle.

"From the plot of this story, there is no doubt that King Xerxes is far stronger than Sparta. If we choose to help Sparta, it means supporting the weak against the strong."

"So what?" Allen spat in disdain.

"But it's just a group of ordinary people, just like Lagia's 'army' attacking Orari every year, or even worse, it's not difficult to penetrate them!"

"But don't forget, what is the purpose of the people who put us in this 'story'." Finn said lightly

"The essence of his purpose is not to kill us, nor to let us experience the joy of changing the story. If I guess correctly, he... wants to let Lord Loki and God Freya see something."

There is no need to hide such a thing now, Finn looked at Ota, the strongest adventurer in the city sighed softly, took out the Olihagang alloy sword around his waist, and said lightly.

"Finn is right, Lord Freya explained it to me before leaving, she will observe the words and deeds here through the crystal ball. She believes that the person must not just destroy anything, and even releasing the girl is the right thing to do. An invitation from her."

"He wants to overtake us and convey some inconvenient words to Lord Freya and God Loki!"

"If it's inconvenient to convey..." Hedin pushed his glasses, thoughtfully.

There is no doubt that the only way for a strong man who can easily destroy the alliance of the two major families in the city to "bypass" is Orari's guild master God Uranos.

Bypassing the GM of this family game to contact the two biggest players in the game, what he wants to do seems to be predictable.

"He wants to show something that will interest Mrs. Freya." Ota said lightly

"It's interesting, novel, and comes from something that gets more attention... Finn is right, if the story is really that simple, it certainly doesn't deserve to be an interesting 'story' ' and exist."

"I agree with Hedin's idea that we should choose the side of Xerxes. Whatever his purpose, it should also be beneficial to us to successfully complete this 'mission'."

Under the leadership of Ota, the rest of the Freyja family obeyed unconditionally. And the Loki Familiar side is similar, Finn's prestige and wisdom are enough to convince them without reservation.

"Then, choose to help the Persian Empire to destroy the three hundred Spartan warriors and kill King Leonidas!"

With Finn's choice, the light screen on the watch slowly dissipated, but it was replaced by a new set of options.

"Please select your strength limit level, note:

High strength limit (down three levels) to vanilla difficulty.

Low power limit (down one level) to Spartan difficulty.

No strength limit is Gods difficulty!

Chapter 29. Interview with Xerxes

Before Finn and the others, it was another difficult question to decide.

Should you limit your own strength to perform tasks?

There is no doubt that it must be unacceptable for them to take the initiative to weaken themselves. After all, things like weakening themselves are linked.

For example, Riviria, if she were to lower her level by three levels, the linkage effect would not be as simple as a decrease in magical power.

The nine magics that she has mastered, 'Fairy King Sing', are linked to a large extent by the magic attributes brought about by her high level. The magic release will become extremely laborious.

The same is true for other family members. Take Finn as an example. If he lowers his level by three, then once the 'Ferocious Magic Spear' he holds is released, he will not only lose his sanity. Simple.

This is the same as playing an RPG game. Your level drop will not only bring about a drop in attributes, but also you cannot equip all the equipment that you can equip before, and the blow will be very fatal.

These high-level adventurers never thought that their level would suddenly drop, so it was impossible to carry low-level items and equipment.

And the supporters didn't carry them for this rapid march... It was extremely bad in every way.

Finn put his hand on the final difficulty of the gods with an ugly face, and before he could say anything, the happy and wicked voice of rage came from the watch.

"Under the difficulty of the gods, the strength of the enemy and oneself will be greatly improved, and they will show their true power outside the story. At the same time, they will also unlock their own hidden worldviews."

"Under the difficulty of the gods, you will receive special extra rewards. After accepting the task, you will be able to take away some of the rewards that belong to this world. Of course, the premise is that you complete your task."

"Under the gaze of your respective main gods, win glory for them, warriors of the gods!"

The next moment, the light screen of the watch exploded like a splendid fireworks, and time began to flow.

"Damn, that guy is really shameless!" Allen scolded angrily.

"There is no way, let's see what he wants to do." Ota said lightly with the Sword of Tyrant Black on his shoulders.

Not far away, the sound of horses' hooves trampling the ground sounded, and a tall Persian sat proudly on the horse's back. It was not the black image used to black Persians in the movie, but a hooked nose, black hair and green eyes. Caucasian, looking proud but not rude gesture.

Aside from the gold rings he wore on his ears, the thing looked like it was a pain in the ears.

"Warriors from the Western Continent, the great King Xerxes has summoned you!"

Finn and Ota looked at each other, Ota took a step forward, after all, before this relatively primitive civilization, tall men were more suitable as the team's card face.

"Then please lead the way."

...

Xerxes' tent is extremely luxurious. The huge throne and steps forged from pure gold are several times larger than the circus tent. Countless golden candlesticks studded with precious gems burn luxurious incense.

The most indispensable part of the tent is the beauty of all races, from the beauty of Persia, to the beauty of Greece, and then to other countries and regions, how many countries have been destroyed by the Persian army, and how many countries are there beauties here.

Their dresses were revealing and sensational, with bracelets and anklets of gold, silver, and gemstones, and their postures were charming and seductive. The only thing that was the same was probably the collars and chains around their necks, which represented their identities as slaves.

Here there are princesses from ten countries serving Xerxes as slaves, and these countries use their most honorable women to please the King of Kings and show the supreme majesty of the God-king.

When Ota walked into the tent, the musician with the sheep's head began to play the weird huqin, the slaves in the Aegean sea beat the fast-paced tambourine, and the female slaves danced provocatively, having crazy **** with others, and the air. Together with the incense, everything here is confused like an illusion.

The environment here is so bold and provocative that even the two Amazon sisters blushed and bowed their heads and did not speak, and even the familiars who served Freya felt that their eyes didn't know where to put their eyes in such an extremely provocative situation.

It can only be said that Xerxes really knows how to play. Compared to his gameplay, the Happy Street opened by the Eulerista family is simply weak!

"Shameless!" Riveria spit blushing, hugged Ais's head and told her not to look at these dirty eyes.

Ota did not change his face, but stepped forward and came to the center of the tent first.

At the top of the huge, luxurious throne, each step made of pure gold, sat a lazy figure.

Tall, strong, lazy, noble.

This is nothing like the arrogant stupid puppet in the 'movie' who was manipulated and arrogant.

Scarlet eyes like burning coals looked at the visitors under the throne, and complex and mysterious patterns were written on the skin like honey. Many dazzling gold ornaments are worn on his body, and his tall and fit body shows his beauty as indifferent as ancient Greek sculptures.

This is a king who exudes confidence, dignity, and a powerful aura all over his body.

God of Gods, King of Kings, Xerxes the Great of Persia

"Are you soldiers from the Western Continent?"

Xerxes' scarlet eyes looked at the Orari adventurer below, his voice was lazy and hoarse, but with a fascinating charm

"Yes, the noble King Xerxes." Ota and Finn stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"We believe in the great **** Freya (God Loki) and follow the will of the gods to help the king of gods take down the three hundred warriors of Sparta?"

"Interesting, the Nordic **** believers actually came to help me attack Greece?"

Xerxes looked at them with interest and squinted.
