Their bravery is commendable. Let's see if it translates to battle.
A display of unity. It may just tip the balance in their favor.
Interesting indeed. Sacrifice often yields unexpected power.
That will suffice.
Fascinating! Mortals never cease to surprise me.
Liuku: 2
Thank you, my god. I am truly grateful for your generosity... but I have one final reques to make.
Liuku: 3
Oh? And what is this request, brave king?
Given what is about to unfold, no one will survive to tell the tale. Therefore, I ask this: spare one of my men, so he may carry our story to the world. Let him proclaim that SPARTA WILL LIVE ON!
Liuku: 4
Hmm, that is quite interesting. I will allow it, but under one condition: we must both choose the same soul to carry your story forward."
I understand, my god. If I may, please grant me some time to think...
After a moment of contemplation...
Ah, I see now, my god. I know whom I wish to pick.
Liuku: 5
Oh really? How are you so certain?
Well, you see, the person you’ve chosen... to put it bluntly, he doesn’t seem particularly special. He’s not the strongest, nor my best warrior, and certainly not the biggest. But what most don’t know about him is that he would give his life for me—and not just for me, but for his brothers as well. He is one of the bravest men I’ve ever seen, perhaps even braver than I am...
Liuku: 6
I see. You are correct; he may be the bravest soul I’ve witnessed in thousands of years. I likely won’t encounter another like him for another millennium...
Well, with that said, my god, I must call upon my soldier. Brother Henry, please step forward.
Liuku: 7
I see. You are correct; he may be the bravest soul I’ve witnessed in thousands of years. I likely won’t encounter another like him for another millennium...
But, my king, I… I don’t know what to say. Thank you… but are you sure it should be me?
You are more than you think… It was an honor to fight alongside you.
Thank you, my king.
Liuku: 8
I see. You are correct; h may be the bravest soul I’ve witnessed in thousands of years. I likely won’t encounter another like him for another millennium...
Well, with all this settled, my god, may I have a moment with my man before we return to battle?”
Liuku: 9
Very well.
Liuku: 10
Men... strong men... warriors of Sparta...I know what I've asked of you here is a lot. Your souls—your very essence—will be no more. But think about what we fight for... think about your wives, your children, your homes...We do this not for ourselves, but for Sparta! For the glory of our land, for the future of those we leave behind!We may not return from this battle as men, but our victory will echo through eternity. Our names will be sung by generations to come. Let us fight for something greater than ourselves! Let us fight for Sparta!
FOR SPARTA
Liuku: 11
It’s time for you to return to the battlefield, brave king. Show the world the strength of Sparta! Strike down all who stand in your way, and let them tremble at the name of your people!
Liuku: 12
He speaks with the wisdom of ages, rallying them for a cause far greater than themselves
His words carry the weight of true leadership. He understands the essence of sacrifice.
That fire in his heart is what makes a warrior! Let them charge into battle!
A noble sentiment. Few are willing to give up everything for their homeland.
Spoken like a true Spartan! His resolve will inspire them to greatness.
