Chapter 44 Assassination of Xerxes

(Please collect and ask for a recommendation ticket!)
The morning sun dispelled the fog, but the salty sea breeze could not blow away the strong smell of blood.

There were scattered and collapsed tents, a few wisps of smoke rising from the pitch-black fences, broken weapons, broken shields and layers of dead bodies all over the camp.

Qin Ruishi strolled on the battlefield, looking at the corpses on the ground at random. Some undead enemies cut off their heads and threw them into their pockets. The other Greek soldiers around them were keen to rummage through the gold and silver on the corpses. accessories.

The wounded soldier groaned in pain, and the rude doctor casually pasted the hemostatic herb on the wound, wrapped it around a few times perfunctorily, and then went to take care of the next wounded.

Leonidas sat on the stone on the side with a vicissitudes of life. The bloody battle last night caused the loss of one-third of his Spartan Royal Guards. More than 100 people were killed in the battle. The remaining ones were mostly injured and intact. There are not many.

The Legion of the Sun lost more than 1000 people, and other Greek soldiers suffered similar losses. If Qin Rongshuai hadn't activated the morale halo immediately after being attacked, the entire Greek coalition army would have collapsed long ago.

The only ones who were unscathed were Qin Ruishi and the Amazon female warrior, thanks to their strong physical fitness, and Qin Rongshuai's meticulous care. Like a hardworking nurse, he kept releasing healing techniques for his subordinates. After the battle, he I feel like my body has been hollowed out.

The Undead Army suffered heavy losses. More than 2000 corpses were left in the camp.

Among them, Qin Ruishi contributed more than half of the kills, and the Spartan soldiers' record in the melee was three to one.

Qin Rongshuai was sitting across from Leonidas, with a sad expression on his face, terrified in his heart, if he hadn't gotten up in the middle of the night to check the movement, then it would have been the Greek coalition that was defeated in this battle.

The two sat at each other speechless for a long time, before saying anything, a soldier ran over, "Your Majesty, the deputy commander, Xerxes sent a message requesting a truce, and he said..."

Leonidas narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "What did Xerxes say?"

The soldier who sent the message swallowed nervously, "He said he wanted to meet the commander of the army in person, just outside the Hot Spring Pass."

Leonidas got up abruptly and laughed loudly, "Okay, I'll go see him right away."

The Spartan soldier next to him was startled and hurriedly dissuaded them. When the two armies were fighting, the coach was negotiating before the battle. What is this? What if it is a trap?
Leonidas is holding a war spear, have you ever been afraid of it? Strengthening, regenerating, enchanting and invisibility, you can't beat him or run away.

At this time, Qin Rongshuai also stood up and high-fived, "Yes, if we don't go, it seems that we are afraid of Xerxes. I will go with you."

The people of the Greek Allied Forces panicked. They couldn't go alone, but they had to go together with two.

Before anyone could dissuade him, Qin Rongshuai waved his hand and said very boldly: "I will take my guards with me."

Everyone in the Greek coalition army was speechless, unable to utter words of persuasion.

Qin Rongshuai led a group of Qin Rui soldiers and female warriors, followed Leonidas, and strode towards the entrance of the hot spring pass with proud expressions.

After the two of them stood still at the entrance of the valley, they looked up and saw a gleaming golden light in the direction of the Persian camp, getting closer and closer. It seemed that a golden mountain was moving here.

Xerxes sat on a huge golden throne and was slowly moved by hundreds of slaves, surrounded by two rows of undead soldiers as guards.

Qin Rongshuai looked at this splendid scene and suddenly asked: "You said I want to chop down a piece of gold, is that okay?"

Leonidas was stunned for a moment, why did this guy suddenly have this idea? He pondered for a few seconds and shook his head, "I don't think it's possible."

"Oh, that's a pity." Qin Rongshuai looked regretful, "I killed Xerxes at that moment, what do you think?"

Leonidas was stunned, and it took him a while to open his mouth, "You have taken a fancy to that piece of gold, I'll cut it for you."

"Haha, I'm joking." Qin Rongshuai patted Leonidas, "Don't be so nervous."

He was indeed joking about cutting gold, but he was serious about assassinating Xerxes.

For this reason, he borrowed all the strong crossbows of Qin Ruishi, used the infusion energy of the spear of war to attach an explosion effect to the crossbow bolts, and then emptied out his personal space, stuffed all the crossbows in, and held the life force tightly with his left hand. The scepter, eyes aimed at Xerxes, waiting to draw out the crossbow at any time to shoot rapidly, and then teleport away.

The huge golden throne came to a stop not far from the two of them. The tall Xerxes stood up from the throne, with a haughty expression on his face, looking down at Qin Rongshuai and Leonidas who were under the throne. With an aura of looking down on the world.

"Who is the commander in chief of the army?"

Leonidas took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "I, Leonidas, the king of Sparta, the commander of the coalition forces."

Xerxes walked down the steps, came to Leonidas, and looked him up and down, "Your army is really strong, and my undead army suffered serious losses. Those who escaped praised you very much." add."

Leonidas suddenly felt a little embarrassed. He glanced at Qin Rongshuai and said sincerely: "In fact, there is someone else who really defeated the undead army."

Xerxes followed Leonidas' gaze and looked at Qin Rongshuai, but Qin Rongshuai didn't speak, but kept squinting his eyes and staring at Xerxes closely.

Xerxes was uncomfortable seeing him, so he asked with a sullen face, "Who are you?"

Qin Rongshuai laughed, and said loudly: "I, Qin Rongshuai, come from the great country in the east of Persia, the envoy of China!"

Xerxes froze for a moment, then said arrogantly and contemptuously: "Huaxia? I have never heard of this country."

Qin Ruishi took a step forward with a "swish", his face was expressionless, his eyes were like knives, his body was pierced with killing intent, and the guards of the undead army next to him suddenly felt the oppression of killing intent, and the sword came out of its sheath nervously.

Xerxes frowned, glanced at these iron-blooded soldiers standing like mountains, and couldn't help but admire them, "They are indeed amazing."

"Have you heard now?" Qin Rongshuai smiled, looking directly into Xerxes' eyes.

Xerxes was a little displeased, he frowned, "Then the envoy from China, what are you doing here?"

Qin Rongshuai pondered for two seconds, then suddenly pulled out a crossbow from his portable space, "I'll kill you!"

A ray of light rushed to Xerxes' eyes like lightning, and suddenly exploded into a ball. The loud sound shook the nearby people to stand unsteadily.

The flames dissipated, but Xerxes stood on the throne safe and sound, and the huge golden throne was covered by a faint film of light.

Xerxes was astonished, and then furious, "How dare you..."

Qin Rongshuai threw away the crossbow, and took out another stringed crossbow. The explosion sounded again in front of the golden throne, and the light film of the entire throne shook, but it was still unscathed.

At this time, the undead army guards on both sides also reacted and hurriedly rushed towards Qin Rongshuai.

Leonidas roared angrily, pulled out the spear of war and raised his hand to burn the two undead soldiers into flames, "I will cover, retreat quickly!"

Qin Rongshuai didn't make a sound, just stood there motionless, took out the crossbow arrow again, aimed at Xerxes and shot it.

Xerxes got over the initial panic, then calmed down, and returned to the throne to do his best, sneering at Qin Rongshuai's futile actions.

The guard next to him waved his whip and scolded the slaves to go back. Someone blew the horn, and the Persian camp in the distance began to boil, and countless black shadows poured out.

Qin Rongshuai pulled out another crossbow again as if he hadn't seen all this. Qin Ruishi behind him had already stopped in front of him and collided fiercely with the guards of the undead army.

One arrow!
Xerxes snorted coldly, "Huaxia people, there is no point in doing this, except to anger me!"

Two arrows!

The light film on the golden throne flickered for a while, then returned to normal.

Xerxes still said nonchalantly: "Why don't we talk!"

Three Arrows!

The light of the Golden Throne dimmed.

"How about we take a step back?"

Four Arrows!

"Wait!" Xerxes shouted hastily.

Qin Rongshuai sneered, took out another crossbow, pointed it at Xerxes and pulled the trigger. The white light penetrated the light film and hit Xerxes' body.
