Realist Maou ni Yoru Seiiki Naki Isekai Kaikaku - Vol. 3 Ch. 17

[Anreon]

So, uh, what's stopping the enemy from climbing up the sides of the cliff and attack down at them? It seems like such a fucking dumb thing to do, walk through that fuck-narrow canyon. This realist is a bit of an idiot, isn't he?

 

[Aria321]

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Mogima]

@Armsdealer12 yes.
and even if it's just the sparta city-state, it'll be more than 300. because said 300 is knights(well, not really but this is just to make it easier to understand).
and each knights is accompanied by at least 2 squire.(which, in that time, also doubles as a boy toy)

@OP_Zed Nope athens was already a democracy by the time they were invaded by the persians, however not mentioned here is that the navy that cut off the persians was actually the athenian-in-exile fleet.

 

[OP_Zed]

@optiso so History channel lied to me...

 

[Gamer0000]

Today! Is the day! They..... Die twice!

 

[josepiza3008]

YOU AGAIN?

 

[Revvex]

This doesn't have anything to do with the chapter, but please make your credit page smaller. It's a pain to scroll past, and Mangadex has enough bandwidth issues as is, we don't need your huge ass credit pages taking up half of that

 

[jessiej]

@Armsdealer12 And unless im mistaken, they did have the weaker soldiers retreat while his men took the front to hold back the army. There was another pass to go around behind them. i forget why they had them retreat though, but the 300 that stayed behind did die... but the ones that retreated did make it out alive though.

 

[TheLastTLK]

This is pretty good, a few more chapters and i wouldn't mind an anime adaptation of this.
thanks for the chapter

Yandere old man is finally here!

 

[AzurLux]

Shartal is gae for Astaroth I can feel it-

 

[The5thSeraph]

Yeah, it is all fine and well fighting with smaller numbers in a natural bottleneck as long as your enemy is on the ground ahead trying to get through said bottleneck, but it would be another matter entirely if they were up on the cliffs above.

 

[bosbarret]

They clearly have hair growing magic in that world.

 

[Izaya_Onisai]

That was so obvious... normally anyone in his situation would have ordered his soldiers to destroy the brains of the fallen... but no, for the sake of writing this obvious idiotic situation the author let astaroth do this dumb error...

 

[itisidio]

NGL, I'd probably go crazy too if my name had "Shart" in it.

 

[llde]

Joined by their brothers
A few against the fateful horde
Hellenic hearts are set aflame
The hot gate calls their name
A final stand
Stop the Persians, spear in hand
Form a wall
Live to fall, and live forever
Sparta! Hellas!
Then, and again, sing of three hundred men!
Slaughter! Persians!
Glory and death, Spartans will never surrender!

From Sabaton- Sparta (album The Last Stand)

Even as I am not a history buff, I know damn well there was more than just 300 men fighting against the Persians at Thermopylae.
Even the movie 300 showed how there were other forces fighting else where from Leonidas and his men.

But then again, the "myth" of 300 men at Thermopylae was more of a "tale" than a "myth".
It's clearly passed down as a tale to boldster courage and rally people for a war. And it got so famous people thought it was real without thinking of the biases clearly shown, exactly because it's an impressive "tale". Which is also shown as such in the movie too (the whole event was presented as a motivational talk by one of the messengers who was leading the battle at the end of the movie).

So yes. The guy, who, if I'm not mistaken, was not even Japanese, and only knew it from some convenient Japanese memory can be justifiably talk about said "tale" as if it was true.

I have already put up with the shoddy excuse for convenient knowledge as him having the memories of some modern man and Hijikata Toshizou as well as Jeane d'Arc showing up as nothing like their actual historical counterparts. Might as well just let the inaccuracy of a battle "tale" go.
