| Xerxes sends me two Persian messengers to tell me we cant win this war. that he wants us to put our weapons down and kneel before him. Ha! well you should tell your king that we are Spartans and we have something we call Spartan pride. He looks upon us with pity he doubts us you should tell your precious king to never doubt the skills of a Spartan. We will continue to defeat his armies one after another until his blood has been spilled by my sword. yes we are few but 300 hundred Spartans are equivalent to 3000 Persians. I have 300 well trained abled men who are thirsty for Persian blood. so return to your king and tell him that if he wants my empire that he will have to take it from me Leonidas KING (Withdraw sword) OF (stab one of the Persians) SPARTA (Spartan kick Persian).Now leave or die where you stand. Throw his body in the fire and get some rest men. Tomorrow we move forward toward Persia toward FREEDOM. |
