“Greek Islands, beautiful Greek Islands!

Here the fiery Savoir sang love songs;

Here the arts of war and peace flourish side by side,

Delos rises, Apollo leaps out of the sea!

The eternal summer also gilds the island,

But except for the sun, everything has faded.┡┢╞.(.

Caio's muse, Theo's muse,

The hero's harp, the lover's lute,

I won fame on your shores,

But now I am mute in this place of origin..."

In a quiet villa on the island of Crete, Lu Qiujian stood on the balcony overlooking the sea, reciting passionate poetry in a clear rhythm to Natalie who was sitting on a deck chair sunbathing.

Natalie, on the other hand, was holding a glass of local Greek wine but had not tasted it for a long time. All she could see in her eyes was Lu Qiujian's body that was as muscular as Hercules and his magnetic voice that was as magnetic as Apollo, the god of poetry.

Perhaps most people think that European and American poetry does not pay attention to meter and rhyme. In fact, that is just the lack of ability of the translator and his inability to take into account the format, connotation and rhythm in poetry translation! The poem Lu Qiujian is reciting now is the work of the famous British romantic poet Ba

The most famous passage in Lord London's masterpiece "Don Juan" - "Elegy".

This poem uses iambic tetrameter. The so-called meter is a special combination of stressed and unstressed sounds in British poetry. This kind of meter is very rhythmic when read together. In addition, Byron's

The rhyme used in this poem is also very particular. The fricative sound "s" is alternately used with the "o" sound that most represents the sad mood in the American poet Edgar Allan Poe's mind, making the poem sound like a gentle breeze slowly turning into a deep sorrow and indignation.

of storm.

Lu Qiujian's chanting brought Natalie back to the situation 2,500 years ago when the Persian King Xerxes led an army to invade Greece. Thousands of warships were scattered on the Aegean Sea, and countless sails covered the sky.

Japan; and the Greeks were far inferior to the Persians in terms of military strength and equipment.

But they did not give in. On the 6th route, Spartan king Leonidas led 300 warriors to defend Thermopylae and killed tens of thousands of Persian warriors; on the sea route, Themistocles led the weak Greek navy to use

Due to the narrow terrain of the Gulf of Salami, Xerxes, who had fewer victories and more defeats, fled in a hurry.

"It's hard to imagine that the people here are the descendants of these heroes!" Natalie looked at the locals on the beach lazily basking in the sun and not interested in working. ╞┝╞┞╪┟┝═.〔(.c

[o?m said with emotion.

"When I went to Italy to compete, I also walked around the city. I couldn't imagine that those lazy and romantic Italians were the successors of the Roman Empire!" Lu Qiujian said with a shrug. If Caesar had seen Italy in two

His performance in the sub-world would probably make him crawl out of his grave.

The Greeks are similar to the Italians, and Lu Qiujian was deeply impressed by their cheating on the European Union in later generations! But then again, apart from the Chinese, the only nation that has maintained a strong fighting spirit since thousands of years ago is

Not seen often!

After reciting the poem, Lu Qiujian returned to Natalie, picked up the wine glass on the table and touched her gently. "Greece has a history of making wine for more than 2,300 years, although they are not as good as French wine.

Although it is very famous, it also has its own uniqueness. Now that you are here, why not savor it carefully!"

"I have drunk red wine produced in Naoussa before, but this is my first time to taste wine from Crete!" Natalie swung the glass, put the sobered wine into her mouth, then closed her eyes and slowly

of tasting.

The two chatted casually about the characteristics of fine wines from various places. You drank one glass and I drank one glass. They quickly finished the bottle of wine. A drunken blush began to slowly appear on Natalie's face. She looked particularly charming and charming.

.

Seeing that the time had come, Lu Qiujian stood up, put his hand on Natalie's leg, and put his arm around her shoulder. He carried her back to the master bedroom in the villa, placed her gently on the bed, and then began to take off her clothes.

At this moment, Lu Qiujian transformed into the largest warship under Xerxes' command, with the ship's thick horn raised high; while Natalie became the Greek side resisting the invasion, slightly giving way to the narrow Gulf of Salami.

, just waiting for Lu Qiujian's horn to enter the bay, he attacked from both sides, trying to lead the horn into the depths of the bay and then deal with it slowly.

Lv Qiujian was much smarter than King Xerxes of Persia. He saw that the enemy had opened the bay but did not attack rashly. The huge horn was cruising at the entrance of the bay to test, and slowly entered the entrance of the bay while the tide was rising.

They slowly retreated as the tide receded, allowing the ambush troops waiting on both sides to attack. They also retreated, just uneasy.

Repeatedly, the ambush soldiers on both sides lost their vigilance. Taking advantage of the opponent's trance, the angle of collision suddenly increased straight into the bay, and the thick logs were deeply wedged into the bay. The ambush soldiers on both sides were pushed away. At this moment,

, the bay seems to have become wider due to the collision; the top of the collision angle is only a millimeter away from the enemy fortress.

The cables that curled up from the bottom of the collision angle swept across the hills on both sides of the bay, and were entangled with the dense forests on the top of the hills. The two huge boulders hanging on both sides of the giant ship slammed hard against the fortress below the hills of the bay.

The enemy troops let out bursts of wailing.

The ambush troops on both sides finally reacted, re-united their determination, and squeezed desperately toward the center, trying to keep the collision point within the bay; but Lu Qiujian had anticipated this, and took advantage of the low tide to slowly withdraw from the bay;

When the defenders on both sides were extremely disappointed, they quickly rushed into the bay again, slowly filling the entire bay.

This time the offensive was even more fierce than the last one. The top of the angle reached the wall of the Greek military headquarters before retreating again. Then the attack of the angle became more unpredictable, attacking the mountains on both sides of the strait from left to right.

When the left and right sides were ready, it suddenly changed the direction of the attack, raising the angle of attack and pointing upward at the weak defense zone that the Greek army feared most.

Repeatedly, the mountains on both sides were covered with seawater from the waves caused by the fast entry and exit of the warships. Of course, the collision angle of the giant ship and the boulders on both sides were not immune.

Lü Qiujian's giant ships continued their attack until sunset, and then slowly withdrew when Salami Bay was no longer able to stop their attack.

The war lasted for three days. The Persian giant ship led by Lu Qiujian finally conquered Natalie's Greece and completely took this fertile land for itself.

After reluctantly saying goodbye at the airport, Lu Qiujian returned to Munich after a long absence; well, counting the time, it seems that the league has already played two more games. I wonder how Bayern performed in these two games? (To be continued.)
