Chereads / A Spartan's galactic empire / Chapter 40 - the fall of Athens.

Chapter 40 - the fall of Athens.

"Oh no" the commander of the Athenian garrison despaired when he saw Codrus cruble.

"Quickly close the gates."

He never planned on keeping his promise, wanting to use this tactic to kill Sparta's king.

But it backfired and now Athens gates were wide open.

But gates weighing tons were not so easy to open or close.

And the Athenian army blocking the way was bravely buying time for Athens, while stopping the wave of Spartan soldiers marching on them.

Spears flew trough the air impaling Athenian soldiers making their way towards the gates.

But what they did not count on was Leonidas next command.

"Blow the fuse!!"

Next explosions went off at the gate blowing out the hinges of the city gate.

"NOOO!!"

The commander shouted he never expected this to happen.

The Spartan spies had placed highly flammable substances in a cramped space together with oxygen making primitive explosives.

Destroying the gates when they were their way to salvation.

Screams sounded and the full might of Sparta fell unto Athens.

"For Glory, For the King, For Sparta, For God!!!"

"Attack!!"

When the overwhelming Spartan Amy pushed trough the famished Athenian lines they started a massacre.

Temples were burned priestess were murdered and raped.

Houses were burned and civilians were slaughtered.

The soldiers were having a great time reveling in their evil and sin.

Leonidas frowned upon this display but didn't stop his men.

He made his way towards the house of Hippias the tyrant of Athens.

Leonidas was guarded by 300 of his personal soldiers.

"Dillios report"

"We have taken over a quarter of Athens now, but there are still pockets of resistance in the controlled zone."

"But we are slowly pushing them back, and they should fall within the hour."

"Good let's get to Hippias he should be looking forward to our visit."

Just as they were about to move the Earth started to tremble and undulate up and down, rumbling showing its wrath.

"It seems my son has returned."

"Let him handle this undisciplined army."

Deimos stood high up in the air.

His silver hair fell over his shoulders and his golden eyes scoured over the battlefield.

He was far from happy.

Dark matter was seeping out of his skin tendrils swaying in the air ripping the very fabric of space while the earth responded to the wrath of the Arch human.

Rumbling and collapsing buildings.

The Devine blessings were reeling in disgust seeing these displays of sin

"It's a god please save us!!"

The Athenian civilians started to plead for help seeing Deimos in the air.

Hoping he would be their salvation.

And in a way he was.

Deimos opend his mouth and it was like a morning bell tower his voice echoed trough the Athenian streets.

"WHAT IS THIS SOLDIERS OF SPARTA!!"

"ARE YOU ANIMALS NO BETTER THAN CHICKENS AND RATS"

"IS THIS HOW YOU WANT TO PRESENT YOURSELF TO YOUR WIVES AND DAUGHTERS"

"IS THIS HOW YOU WANT TO PRESENT YOURSELF TO GOD"

"ANIMALS DEFILING WOMAN AND KILLING CIVILIANS"

"YOU ARE SOLDIERS BEHAVE LIKE ONE YOU ARE DISCIPLINED"

"NEXT TIME I SEE THIS BEHAVIOUR I WILL KILL ON SIGHT"

After finishing his outburst Deimos released his pressure.

All the Spartan and Athenian soldiers had been pressed against the ground.

This was a strong unbridled force of a higher bloodline to a lower one.

Like a emperor deciding the life and death of a begger.

After the release the Spartan soldiers bowed their heads to Deimos.

They would never dare to do such acts again.

For they knew doing so would mean death.

The Athenian soldiers lay down their weapons in desperation, they could not fight against the forces of nature.

They could not fight against a god.

Athens was taken with a lot les bloodshed and pillaging than what would have happened otherwise leaving most of Athens population intact.

Deimos descends towards the place his father was staying.

Leonidas was talking to Athens tyrant, seeing how Athens had run and how he could use it in the future.

"Father I have returned."

"Yeah you don't say, I almost didn't notice the earthquake and the voice of heaven"

"Hehe I am sorry dad but I was truely angry."

"I get it no harm done"

"How did you know I was here"

" Went to Sparta first asked mom where you were"

"I see"

"How is she I haven't seen her in months"

"It's all good, no problems at home"

" Medusa has started her apprenticeship, most of Sparta's political world is scared to death of her"

"I mean I would be too if one angry look from her could kill me"

"Hahaha yeah I bet they are scared"

"But who is this bound men here at your feet."

"Ah yes let me introduce you this is the dictator of Athens Hippias"
