At the beginning, unlimited skill tree!

When I think about the lives of those left behind,

He can't help but hold the handle of the gun tightly, so tight that he is about to break it.

However, this man who said he was not afraid of fighting,

Can this real man have such a complex expression on his face at this moment?

People were also a little stunned,

What kind of emotion is that?

Until they heard an extremely familiar word again.

At this time Leonidas mentioned the "Battle of Thermopylae".

That was also the most serious time for his fear!

Even without Leonidas' description, people's minds could not help but picture the battle scene at Thermopylae.

Hot Spring Pass?

Chapter 1,331 Observing the stars and the story of this earth - its name is Chaldea

Leonidas: “The enemy Persian soldiers number one hundred thousand.

In contrast, we at Lacedaemon (Sparta) only have about three hundred people. "

Everyone's breath shortened. This was the first time they heard confirmed words from their own mouth.

Even if you have already seen some of the images in the epic.

But people didn’t have time to count how many people were on the battlefield at that time.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to count them.

but--

Is it really three hundred versus one hundred thousand? This difference in combat power is really too huge!

Not to mention the gap in combat power,

It's already a miracle just how he persisted in fighting against so many warriors for so long without his will breaking down!

And as Leonidas describes,

Only then did people realize that the three hundred of them were actually members of the seven thousand Greek coalition forces assembled, which was only a drop in the ocean.

But seven thousand versus one hundred thousand is still an exaggeration.

As Leonidas recalled, people were shocked to learn that they had a chance to survive.

As long as you fight, you will inevitably lose. But if they surrendered and allowed the Persian army to advance, they promised to spare Sparta.

"Then -!" Everyone almost subconsciously wanted to blurt out, 'Why? ’

But thinking that it was very shameful to be a deserter, they could only remain silent.

But this does not mean that the spirit of sacrifice is not precious.

On the contrary, it was the entire Sparta who persisted in fighting until the last moment, which made it so valuable.

Leonidas said that if they didn't stop Sparta could survive,

But as long as it takes just one day, as long as it is delayed for a few days, these small resistances may be able to save the huge country of Athens.

They knew how terrible the consequences would be for Sparta to resist this terrible enemy and for their own tiny country, but they still chose to fight.

Choose integrity or survival.

Falling into confusion, followed by unprecedented fear.

Leaving his wife and children behind to rush to the place of death,

Even if the fear of his own death has long paralyzed him, the thought of sending his wife and children into a dark future...

Leonidas once also fell into a deep struggle.

Seeing this, people opened their mouths wide and were shocked silently.

They seemed to be able to feel this man's past confusion and extremely entangled heart from between the lines.

Such a heavy sense of responsibility is enough to overwhelm anyone.

country and small family,

In the light and shadow of the epic before, the young people were simply immersed in the heroic figure of Sparta's three hundred against one hundred thousand and their blood was boiling.

Only now did I feel what the hero was carrying behind him.

A simple choice, but also a not simple choice,

To fight or not to fight is no longer simply a matter of bravery.

Heroes do not only have a beautiful and happy side. Behind this term, there may also be many sad past events.

Leonidas said he was confused and prayed to heaven for the voice of God.

Finally got the oracle——

[If you join the battle, you will never be able to return to Sparta].

Just because the oracle didn't say "Fighting is meaningless\

,"Even if they were defeated, Sparta would not perish.

therefore,

Even though he knew he would die, Leonidas' confusion disappeared.

When I saw Matthew’s memories,

Standing on the absolute warcraft front, he spoke majestically: "We will definitely not be able to return from the battlefield again.

But it's not pointless. "The King of Sparta said this,

People's hearts were so shocked.

Even if I can't come back, I still know,

Fighting will protect those who come after.

This strength is not to accept fear, but to hope to rewrite fear,

What a strong will!

Perhaps it is also what humans need when they are about to face the god Tiamat.

Leonidas said with a smile. After he understood that truth, he went to his friends to show off proudly, "How about it, do you know this?"

As a result, my friend replied: "What's the point of proudly showing off to me now that everyone except you is doing it?"

Leonidas: "Hahaha. Three hundred people really laughed.

I'm always so slow.

Until the final battle, I failed to detect the source of strength and the inner way of being of my respected friends. "

"...No. At the end, I finally realized it.

If you say I caused a miracle in that battle with the Flame Gate,

That must be thanks to this incident. "

Listening to Leonidas's words, people's expressions were moved,

Thinking about the legend of the three hundred Spartan warriors who held back a hundred thousand troops, this is indeed——

Humanity’s ‘miracle’! !

And now they know that it is not because of their personal strength, but because of their faith and their extremely strong hearts!

'Every one of those three hundred people is a hero...' At this time, this was the only thought left in people's hearts.

Overcome loneliness and fear, face death with a smile——!

A true man from Sparta...! ! !

Everyone was trembling in their hearts.

Then Leonidas said to Matthew: "The reason why you are afraid of fighting is because you know too many precious things.

The more of those things, the more fear of transcendence,

Your heart will become stronger.

That will be your strongest weapon.

As long as the heart does not give in to its own fears -

Your shield will not be defiled by anyone.

Nor will it fail. "

ah--

People couldn't help but look at the shield in Mashu's hand. It wouldn't be defiled by... anyone, wouldn't it surrender? !

In a daze, it seemed as if he had seen the scene at the sixth singularity again.

I imagined the chalk city unfolding and resisting the Lion King's Noble Phantasm.

Oh, what a sacred and noble statement.

The memories end and we return to Uruk at night,

Ishtar praised Leonidas as indeed an excellent servant;

Matthew also said that the heroic spirits are great people and they have taught him a lot.

Ishtar showed a knowing smile: "——Really.

That’s why it’s called Chaldea. "

Chaldea does not refer to the Chaldeans, but to the Observatory.

Ishtar said understandingly: "You are observing the stars.

Just like the stars in the night sky.

The life of someone who shined in the distant past, in a distant era.

After thousands of years, it was passed down to modern times.

The stars in the sky and the story of this earth.

It is this kind of story that Chaldea weaves. "

Observe the stars and weave stories——!

People looked at Ishtar in surprise, not expecting that she would look at Chaldea like this,

I never thought that Chaldea had such a beautiful way of understanding.

It was obviously similar to the information they had learned.

But when it comes to Ishtar's mouth, it feels like a dream.

Chapter 1,032: Not only, but also, this is a great cause!

Ishtar: "The reason why I think I can help you must be because I have such a wish.

You are not reaching out to us to take advantage of us, but to get to know us. "

Entrusted by the youngest generation who "lives in the present\

,"No senior (heroic spirit) would have the heart to refuse.

Matthew: “——The story of the stars.

The name Chaldea...the true meaning-"

As Mashu muttered, people's eyes gradually became distracted.

What a name full of beautiful connotations.

Although this is just the speculation of the goddess Ishtar,

But people inexplicably feel that it matches——
