"Oh, it's ivory! And Egyptian perfumes! They shouted excitedly. This time I made another fortune!

"Hey, Captain, take a look!" Misconon beckoned to Picos from around the corner.

Picos walked over, and through the sunlight leaking through the cracks in the boat, he saw the corners strewn with corpses, dark red blood even soaking the surface of his feet.

"These are traders who have been robbed by pirates, right?" There was a hint of compassion in his eyes.

"There! There's something moving there!! Someone suddenly shouted.

"What the ghost is called, it will scare people to death." Misconon stepped back a little nervously.

Picos stared intently for a moment and shouted, "Come out!" If I don't come out again, my spear will pierce me! ”

"I'm out! I'll be out right away. With a cry, several corpses were pushed away, and a thin figure stood inside.

……

Shiloh saw Nurnusis on the deck looking at this and touching that excitedly, and remembered his idea: when disembarking, two or three people should form small teams, gather and run together, and be very separate from other squads, which would cause the distant lookout posts to have the illusion of misjudging the number of people. In the end, he confused the enemy.

Ginger is still old and spicy! Shiloh sighed and couldn't help asking, "Uncle, do you like this ship?"

Nurnusis tried to turn the rudder and sighed: "It's a pity that I can't afford to pay for the maintenance of this ship now!"

If only you understood! Shiloh breathed a sigh of relief.

"Shiloh, we've captured a slave!" Misconon grabbed a bloodied man and came to him.

The man fell to his knees with a thud and kissed Shiloh's feet: "Don't...... Don't kill me, I'm willing to be your slave! I...... I can keep accounts, and I can do it in several languages......"

"What's your name?" Shiloh asked with interest.

"Kozula, honorable master!"

Shiloh motioned for him to get up, and looked at him again: curly black hair, covered in blood that could not hide the whiteness of his skin, and a pair of gray-brown eyes full of fear but also a little curious.

and Cecito. Herrim is different, this is a pretty clever guy! Shiloh nodded secretly and asked, "Where are you from?"

"Etruscans, honorable masters!"

Etruscan?! Heloh was stunned, others may not know, but he knew better: Etruscan was once the master of north-central Italy, and later dominated the Mediterranean Rome was ruled and enslaved by them for a long time, so that later Romans could not avoid this period of history, so they had to write three of the seven kings in their deified early royal era as Etruscans.

"How did you become a slave?"

"Five years ago Rome broke through our city, and we ...... Was sold to Capua. Kozulla blinked in a low voice and said, "This time, my former master went to Egypt to buy goods, and was hijacked by pirates when he returned. They herded us into the bilge before you came, host, and then ...... Because I was short, I was crammed inside, and I was not found out, pretending to be dead. "

Having witnessed so many deaths, Shiloh was a little numb to such things, he thought for a moment and asked, "Did the Romans occupy Wiy?"

"How is that possible?" Kozulla suddenly became a little excited: "Rome is at war with Weiyi, but Rome will definitely not be able to defeat Weiyi!"

Shiloh smiled, he knew some historical events of this era, but he was not a professional in history in his previous life, and he couldn't remember the specific era at all. Date.

Well, Rome hasn't captured Wie yet, so it's not too strong.

Shiloh turned his gaze to Misconon, "Do you want this slave?"

Misconon shook his head: "You better keep it for yourself, my family can't even eat enough, but I can't afford to support him!"

Kozula was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly fell to her knees again: "I should die! I'm damned! How dare I offend my master, I deserve-"

Shiloh smiled again: "Okay, get up, you will follow me in the future."

……

When the sun was about to set, everyone stood on the beach. On the beach stood sixteen wooden piles, on which the corpses were placed.

They had thirty-seven hoplites, twenty-five sailors, and four slaves when they set out from the Great Port, but now there are only twenty-six hoplites, twenty-one sailors, and three slaves.

Everyone looked at the corpses on the wooden pile with solemn expressions.

Nurnusis and Pikos walked up to Shiloh and said, "We don't have priests of the gods, but you can give them rest more than priests. ”

Shiloh didn't refuse, and under the gaze of the crowd, he approached each corpse, shouting his name, and shoved a drachma into his mouth.

"Asaros, Doris...... My dear comrades-in-arms, your sacrifices have paid us for survival! You don't need to have any nostalgia, I will stop your families from running around for life, let your children be taken care of, and let them grow up to be warriors like you, a true Athenian!

Rest in peace, warriors of Athens, your bravery will win the favor of the gods, and the eternal pure land, Elysion, is your final destination! ”

There was a small uproar in the crowd, they had never called such an appeal, it was so full of human feelings, that they were not only moved, but also a little more love for the young man in front of them on the basis of their original awe.

Shiloh nodded to Pikos, who and Nurnusis took torches and lit the piles one by one, and in the midst of the raging flames, the people began to chant: "I sing to you, ruler of the underworld, Hades;

Thou art the great one of severity,

In the chariot of four black horses,

Thou noble prune,

Let the wicked return to hell,

Let the good enjoy eternity!

……

When the fire burned out, everyone put the ashes into clay pots.

Still standing in the middle of the sand, Shiloh swept his gaze over everyone who looked at him, and said, "I, son of Hepias, Shiloh is here to thank each and every one of you, for believing in me, and following me out of Sicily and here. We've been through the storm together, and together we've defeated the pirates! Although some of them died, your efforts were not in vain. I dare to assert that our army will eventually fail, and as sad as it may be, you have been given a new lease of life!

The pirate's ships and captured goods were worth about one Talient, and unfortunately I could not bring them into Athens, so I consulted with Pikos and Nurnusis and decided to sell them when we arrived in Crete, and then divide the money equally among everyone! ”

People were boiling, they were screaming and jumping excitedly, and even rushed forward together to carry Shiloh on their shoulders and parade on the beach.

"Great Shiloh!" They even shouted like that.

"My master seems to be a big man!" Kozulla watched it all and muttered to herself.

"Yes. But if you want to take advantage of your master's kindness to be lazy, I won't let you go. Cecito tapped him on the head as a warning.

"Barbarian!" Cozula muttered under his breath.

……

After six days on the coast, and after the ship of Nurnusis had been repaired, they set out for Crete, where they learned that the expeditionary force had been destroyed, and that the whole ship was completely subdued by Shiloh in grief.

After resting for a day in Crete and selling their goods, they sailed north.

"Shiloh, ahead is the island of Salamis, bypass it, and you'll be in Athens!" Nurnusis said, pointing to a small piece of land looming in the sea in the distance.

Shiloh suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned around and asked loudly, "Brothers, how did we escape?!" ”

"General Demosthenes sent all his ships for a decisive battle at sea with the enemy, our ships were placed on the right flank, and the two sides fought fiercely, and we were gradually approaching the harbor, when suddenly a storm arose at sea and rushed into the harbor...... By the time the wind and waves calmed down, our ship was already outside the harbor......" everyone replied in unison.

"Very well, don't forget your oath to God!" Shiloh reminded them, then looked back ahead.

Athens - the cradle of Western European civilization, here I am!
