Hearing that Crosus said that his goods had been robbed, Qin Rongshuai immediately became furious, which is unreasonable.

Is there any law left? !

Is there any law left? !

Normally, he, Qin Rongshuai, is the only one who robs other people's things, but I never thought that someone would dare to rob him, it's the opposite!Inverted!
Qin Rongshuai immediately drew his sword and shouted, "Come on, come with me!"

"The general is here!" All the warriors of Great Qin in full uniform came out and responded with murderous intent.

Krosos hurriedly hugged his boss, "Calm down, my lord."

After being repeatedly coaxed and persuaded by his clerk, Qin Rongshuai finally calmed down and inquired carefully about what happened.

"Since the purchase of [-] slaves, prices throughout Athens have skyrocketed, especially food and military supplies, and items such as weapons and armor have increased tenfold." Croesus began to complain with a sad face.

"Are the merchants in Athens driving up prices?" Qin Rongshuai frowned. He knew the virtues of merchants very well. The war was coming, and Athens began to prepare for war. Various materials began to be in short supply. At this time, prices would not increase. Sorry for myself.

"It's not a big problem to drive up the price. The problem is that there are no goods." Crosos said helplessly, "Right now people are collecting supplies everywhere. Anything related to war, including food and medicinal herbs, is being snapped up everywhere. Even All the wood has been robbed, and the Athenian government is short of strategic supplies.”

"Could it be that someone in the city of Athens snatched my goods?" Qin Rongshuai was a little puzzled, it shouldn't be, since the last time Hironios and his son were killed, no one in the city of Athens dared to provoke him again, could it be? There is a new powerful character.

"It's not Athens, it's Thebes." Krossos' face was ugly. "When Athens started to lack supplies, I entrusted my friends to buy them from other city-states, especially weapons. After Athens declared war, weapons were banned. In the transaction, you cannot buy weapons in Athens, you can only buy them from other city-states, as a result, the weapons I ordered for 5000 people were seized when they passed through Thebes."

"Thebes." Qin Rongshuai frowned. He didn't know much about this city-state. When he first came to this world, he took a look at it from a distance when he passed the Hot Spring Pass and went south. Thebes stayed.

Thebes has the same name as the ancient capital of Egypt. It is a very ancient city-state. It was an important city in Greece in the 14th century BC. It was destroyed and rebuilt several times.

Because they competed with Athens for interests in a certain area, the two sides concluded a bridge, and then hooked up with the Persians.

Historically, this city-state has been capricious, and it can be called a family slave with three surnames. It first colluded with Persia, and later turned to Sparta to fight against Athens. After defeating Sparta, it became the third largest power in Greece, and was later destroyed by Alexander the Great. .

"Very good." Qin Rongshuai smiled instead of anger. Before he went to trouble Thebes, Thebes came to kill himself first, so he had more excuses to do it.

Thebes is located behind Thermopylae. It has a feud with Athens and colluded with Persia. At first glance, it is particularly difficult to beat them, and it is impossible to let them go without reason.

Whether it is Qin Rongshuai or Sparta, it is impossible to put an unstable bomb behind their backs, let alone Athens, which must be the first to vote for it if it wants to engage Thebes.

When Qin Rongshuai approached Themis and asked for his opinion, he really strongly agreed and promised that Athens would provide all conveniences.

Leonidas' reaction was a little hesitant, "This is not very good, the collusion between Thebes and the Persians is just a rumor, and there is no actual evidence."

Qin Rongshuai laughed loudly, "As long as the city of Thebes is broken, don't you need as much evidence as you want, and what you want?"

Leonidas was greatly moved, and finally weighed it before nodding in agreement.

As a result, the freshly-baked Greek coalition aimed its first strategic goal at the Greek city-states.

After the discussion between the three parties, Themis left directly. He had to rush back to Athens overnight, and there were still many things to deal with, especially the preparation of the logistics materials for the Spartan army, which had to be prepared in advance.

On the other hand, Leonidas went to arrange with the other king for the assembly of the army, the transfer and other matters, leaving only Qin Rongshuai idle.

At this time, he has no intention of doing other things. If he didn't see if he could wait for Pythagoras to return here, he would directly follow Themis back to Athens.

Now he can only do boring exercises with the Amazon female warriors. His hand-to-hand combat tactics can only be regarded as average. He learned them when he joined the army. He just used those few tricks over and over again, including slashing, thrusting, grappling and fighting. The Black Dragon Ten Eight hands and the like.

Qin Rongshuai didn't learn much at the time. After all, the times have changed, and the emphasis is on firepower first. If you can use the sniper grenade, who will fight you with a gun, let alone hand-to-hand combat.

In this plane of cold weapons, Qin Rongshuai has always relied on his own digital body to fight recklessly, but he can't always rely on brute force and recklessness, he still needs a little skill.

The battle with the female warrior continued until night before Qin Rongshuai let the exhausted female warrior go back to rest, while he was going to take a shower.

As soon as I got back to the house, I saw a light in the yard, a pale golden light, and Pythagoras came.

Qin Rongshuai walked out of the room excitedly, and said loudly, "Good evening, Mr. Pythagoras."

Pythagoras even wore a hood this time, looking a little gloomy, "Qin, I'm back."

"Have you understood the problem last night?" Qin Rongshuai went straight to the topic without being verbose.

"I don't think that question is important. Mathematics is only a part of truth, or even a small part. We shouldn't stick to these things." Pythagoras began to pretend to be a wise elder again, and said persuasively, "This The world is so big, and we only know a small part of it, why should we devote our energies to boring secular disputes."

"Boring worldly disputes?!" Qin Rongshuai's words to Pythagoras were beyond comprehension, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Don't you really think about joining us?" Pythagoras asked kindly, "Explore the mysteries of the world and spread the truth of knowledge. You can bring everything you have learned back to the East, and you will become A saint who has been passed down through the ages."

"Mr. Pythagoras, your country and your hometown are about to be destroyed, don't you care at all?" Qin Rongshuai asked coldly.

"A country and a city will decline sooner or later. This is the law of history. I have long since ignored these things." Pythagoras said lightly, "You should understand that only knowledge and truth are immortal."

Qin Rongshuai thought for a moment and suddenly asked: "Mr. Pythagoras, you are so persistent in wanting me to join your organization. It's not because you value me as a person. Let us openly explain, what exactly do you want to do?"

"No, no, no, you misunderstood. I really think you are a talent." Pythagoras said very seriously and sincerely.

Qin Rongshuai turned his head expressionlessly and left, "Come here, send this gentleman out!"

"Wait a minute," Pythagoras said hastily.

Qin Rongshuai stopped in his tracks, staring at Pythagoras closely without saying a word.

"..." Pythagoras was silent for a while, then slowly said, "The golden apple must be at your place."

Hearing this, Qin Rongshuai suddenly realized.

It turns out that this old bald man is planning the golden apple.

Qin Rongshuai looked at the scepter in Pythagoras' hand, and suddenly felt that this was a good opportunity.
