The World of Deities

After a while, the carriage stopped and Su Ye dismounted.

General Fast got out of the carriage, his gray hair stood up like short black and white needles, and his smile was so brilliant, he opened his arms and walked over to give Su Ye a big hug.

"It's been half a year, you seem to be taller and stronger." Fast held Su Ye's shoulders with both hands, his body leaned back slightly, his eyes full of joy and admiration.

"Hello, General. I am growing up right now, and I have changed a lot. Today is the academy meeting to discuss the possible battle of Hippo, so you just wait. Let's go in and talk." Su Yedao.

Fast nodded and walked in with Su Ye.

After walking a few steps in the yard and approaching the pillars, Fast suddenly said in surprise: "Have you been promoted to gold?"

"Just promoted not long ago." Su Ye smiled.

"Well, this is the best news I have heard in the past six months!" Fast sighed lightly.

"Oh? You don't know about the Knight Order?" Su Ye asked.

Fast froze for a moment, looked around, and whispered: "We vaguely guessed a little bit, but we can't figure it out. Has something to do with you?"

"Since you don't know, you still can't talk about it in detail. You can only talk about it when there are results." Su Yedao.

"Okay. Let me just say something. You predicted the marathon last time, so where do you think we will fight this time?" Fast sat down and looked at Su Ye.

Su Ye opened the magic book, and a three-dimensional map of Greece appeared.

"I've been thinking about this issue for a long time. Let's talk about ground warfare first." Su Ye said as his fingers circled in midair, and three red circles appeared on the ground in Greece.

When he saw the four red circles, Fast's eyes flashed.

Su Ye pointed to the first red circle and said: "First of all, the landing point of the last battle in Persia, Marathon. We do not rule out the possibility of Persia landing from here again, but this possibility is very small. The battle of Marathon against Persia The blow was unprecedented and it was the worst defeat in Persian history."

"Yes, it's also the first time that Persia faced a far fewer opponent and was defeated. Of course, the biggest hero is you." Fast smiled kindly.

Su Ye pointed to the northwest of Greece and said: "I judge the fundamental reason why they will not land from the marathon is that they have dispatched too many troops this time, claiming to be five million. Even the Persian Empire cannot carry across the sea. Five million people. Of course, we can't calculate how many actual combatable soldiers they have. Does your military have any predictions?" Su Ye asked.

Fast sighed and said: "Persia has not many elite troops, less than half a million, but this time, Persia has mobilized manpower from other countries that it has captured, and has deployed a large number of ordinary people as soldiers. That is, the common soldiers we used before, known as light infantry, have nothing except light. We suspect that the total number of various main forces plus mixed soldiers plus auxiliary soldiers will really exceed three million."

"Are they going to use the magic bread tree to provide support?" Su Ye frowned.

"Yes. Such a huge army can't provide perfect logistics, so only the regular army can get normal supplies, and those miscellaneous soldiers can only eat magic breadfruit."

"It's perfectly fine to eat breadfruit for a short time, but if you eat it for several months, it will have a great impact on your body."

"What they need is that those miscellaneous soldiers can hold a spear and can stab forward, that's enough, they only need to live for another year." Fast sighed.

"Hey..." Su Ye also sighed softly.

"Go on." Fast said.

Su Ye pointed to the two parallel circles in the northwest direction, and said: "Since the Persian army will detour from the northwest to the south, it must pass through Tempe Valley or Proguan, conquer Thessaly, and arrive in central Greece. The generals have reached a consensus, right?"

"Yes, we have used these two places as the first line of battle against the Persian army, but we are not sure which place they are attacking, and we can only guard them separately." Fast said.

Su Ye felt a little helpless. He knew about the marathon and the hot spring pass, but he didn't remember these two places before, let alone where the Persian army in that world passed through.

"Yes, we have no way of judging this. They may move the whole army to one place, or they may divide their troops into two directions and attack two fortresses at the same time. After all, they are the leader of the two kings. But what is certain is... We can't keep it."

Su Ye stared at Fast's eyes.

Fast sighed lightly and said: "Many generals think they can hold on, but General Miteyade and a few generals believe that Persia will do whatever it takes in these two places, even if life and flesh are used to pave the way. To pave a way through Thessaly to reach Greece. The reason is simple, they have already lost the marathon, and they are even prepared for the defeat of the second Hippo War, but they must not lose in the first place. Outside the barrier."

Su Ye nodded.

Fast continued: "Neither Xerxes nor Gilgamesh is the idiot of Madaus. Gilgamesh has an unimaginable age, and his grasp of war far exceeds all of us. Xerxes Sis also received the guidance of a famous teacher. His experience in Persia proved that he is an excellent commander. Therefore, the two of them will choose the most correct way to pass through Thessaly and arrive in central Greece. At the beginning, I I didn't figure this out, until General Mitheyade pointed it out. I didn't expect you to see it too."

"So, what is the strategy of General Mitaiyade?" Su Ye asked.

"He said that the temple has already begun preparations, and no accident, it can inflict heavy damage on Persia. However, even so, it is impossible to completely defeat Persia in the first battle. Because they have too many people, as many as our soldiers and wizards. You can't kill them if you exhaust your divine power or magic power."

Su Ye pondered for a moment, and said: "It seems that General Mitheyade's opinion is the same as mine. No matter which fortress Persia is attacking, we must be prepared to retreat. However, in the first battle, we must give them head-on. Beat them hard, hurt them to the depths of their souls, and make them fearful! I want the Greek coalition forces to turn into demons in the hearts of the Persians!"

Su Ye's voice was firm.

"Can you really do it?" Fast's eyes beamed.

"I will be the commander in command of the first battle." Su Yedao.

Fast was about to ask, suddenly turned his head to look at the Acropolis Hill in the center of Athens, and at the giant statue of Athena under the night.

"I probably understand. I have also vaguely heard some news. It seems that the temple was preparing for a long time, and you should be the core of the whole thing. Good!" Fast looked at Su Ye with his eyes Piping hot.

"However, I can only say that we can win the first battle and even the first few wars. Once the Persians fight desperately in the war of attrition, our Greece will be unbeaten. Therefore, we must retreat and let the outstanding Sally." Su Yedao .

"What about after?" Fast asked.

"After that, we will stick to the hot spring pass! That is the last gateway to Greece. Once Persia breaks through the hot spring pass, it will drive straight in, and the entire Athens will be exposed to their army, which means that all our efforts will be forfeited. Liu, we even have to abandon the city of Athens, flee to the south, continue to escape, looking for the last chance. But this is not the ending I want to see." Su Ye said solemnly.

"Yes. Even those generals who are opposed to General Miteaud understand that once the hot spring pass is lost, the Persians will become a nightmare for Greece." Fast said.

Su Yedao: "So, we have to defend Hot Spring Pass at all costs until... we confirm that we can't hold it."

Fast said firmly: "We must be! The hot spring pass is far narrower than the other two fortresses, and the battle line is narrow. Even if Persia has ten times the strength of our forces, it can't be used! The hot spring pass is enough to hold on until the Persians retreat."

"However, Hot Spring Pass is not the only passage." Su Yedao.

"What? You mean... Mount Roms has mountain trails that we don't know?" Fast was taken aback.

Su Ye nodded, then pointed to the three-dimensional magic map, and saw the magic map continuously zooming in.

Finally, I saw the extremely narrow Hot Spring Pass. The south side of the Hot Spring Pass was marked with Mount Roms, and the north side was Maris Bay.

The map continued to change, and finally showed a mountain road in Mount Roms, which can bypass the hot spring pass.

"This mountain road is very steep and rugged, and large troops cannot pass at all. As long as they are stationed to block the mountain road, the Persians will pay a hundred times the price of the hot spring pass if they want to pass. However, everything is possible, in order to avoid us. In order to avoid accidents, I hope that a mountain fortress will be established in the most precarious part of Mount Roms, and then... a temporary teleportation formation will be established at the mountain fortress and the hot spring pass to ensure the crisis on either side. At any time, the other party can send elites to help."

"Okay! General Mitheyade sent me here, and indeed it is right! We don't know the mountain road! Although we will find that mountain road after we arrive at Wenquan Pass, if the fortress cannot be built early, it will inevitably become a hidden danger. Don’t worry, I’ll tell the general today to let people go to Mount Roma to build a fortress and completely stop the Persians!"

Su Ye nodded and turned to contemplation.

Fast said with excitement: "Our Greek magicians are far better than Persia. As long as the warriors and magicians join hands, in the narrow hot spring pass and the Roma Fortress, even if the Persian people bleed out of blood, they will not be able to reach Athens! "

Su Ye shook his head and said, "You underestimated the Persians. If Persia can't break through the hot spring barrier, they still have three options."

"What do you think."

"The first possibility, you should think of. It is the method used by the Persian army to outflank it from the rear. As long as the land is guarded at Mount Roma and the hot spring pass, the Persian army has nothing to do. However, they can bypass the Hunting Strait by sea, Looking at the temple of the great goddess of hunting, I walked around to the back of the hot spring pass to land and flanked back and forth. Therefore, the Hunting God Strait is a hot spring pass on the sea. I believe that there is General Dimis, which can block the enemy from the Hunting Strait, but ...What if there is an accident?" Su Ye asked.

Fast was silent for a long time and said: "We have also considered the Hunter Strait for a long time. However, although the number of the Greek navy is small, the naval power has always been stronger than that of Persia. As long as we mobilize enough navy, it is enough to block the Persian army."
