"There's one more problem. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Davers retracted his gaze and asked with a straight face: "On this way, where can I get out of the jurisdiction of the Persian royal family?" ”

Marigi was anxious to please Davers, thought about it seriously, and then drew a circle on the sketch: "Here! Over Mespira! ”

"Mespila?" Davers looked closely at the pattern on the ground.

"Mespila is the former capital of Assyria, Nineveh! After it, beyond that is Dukeya. Marigi emphasized.

Davers nodded: "You're familiar with Dukea?" ”

"I'm not very familiar, I just did business with them, exchanging grain for their mountain goods!" Mariji said, with an angry look on his face: "But they are barbarians who do not speak of faith, and they often do not pay, hurt people, and rob things!" ”

After listening carefully, Davers turned to Mattonis and said, "Take his family to the baggage camp and let Mersis take good care of him, but you must tell Mersis not to abuse him and his wife and daughter, and not to use them as slaves!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Mariji knelt down with a "flutter": "Please! Please! Let me go! And my wife and daughter! I've said everything! Please spare us......"

"It seems that you can understand Greek, but you pretended not to understand before." Davers said.

Mariji didn't defend himself at this point, just howled and cried.

"In fact, I didn't let you and your family go for your own good. Did you know that your lord, the king's brother Cyrus the Younger, has been killed in battle? ”

Marigi suddenly stopped crying, and the hands holding Davers's legs also lost their strength, and asked weakly: "Is His Highness Cyrus really dead?" ”

"Actually, you just guessed it, didn't you? Otherwise, how could Tisaponis bring us here, and he allowed us to plunder your village, for this is the punishment for the rebellion of Cyrus the Younger! This kind of punishment, I believe, will never be the only one! Anyone who has a close relationship with him can't escape it, right? ”

Marigi was already slumped on the ground, in a trance.

Matonis picked him up and dragged him out.

"This man doesn't look like an ordinary businessman." Shilos watched Marigi being dragged out of the tent and said to Davers.

"You're right!" Davers nodded. The family lived in a dilapidated house, but they hid a lot of gold and silver and splendid clothes, and he and his wife looked like ordinary Persian merchants, and they were also proficient in Greek, and knew so many things. Perhaps he was a relative of Cyrus the Younger, or his supervisor, or perhaps his royal merchant who, knowing that Cyrus the Younger, had rebelled and took refuge in a small village in the middle of nowhere. If it weren't for the village chief's informant, he almost missed a big fish

Davers thought happily that he had chosen to forget how he tortured the village chief and his family. He said to Shiros, "Captain, I have to trouble you to stress to Mersis that no one is allowed to harass his family, he is very useful to us!" Now that Cyrus the Younger is dead, I will make him come to us with all his heart! ”

A soldier gave orders to his captain, and it was not surprising to everyone present that Davers's leadership of the squad had been established.

"Okay." Without hesitation, Shiros walked out of the tent quickly.

"Pichols, thank you so much! You've done me a great favor today! Davers turned to one of the fighters.

"It's my pleasure to be able to help you!" Pickles said with a little deference.

Davers pulled out two drachmas and shoved them into his hands.

"This ...... It's ......," Pickles pretended.

Davers said, "Please take it!" I really thank you for this today, and I hope you can keep it a secret and don't let Menon know! ”

Hearing this, Piccols no longer shied back, stuffed the silver coin in his arms, and said, "Don't worry, I don't like that guy either!" Promise Hades that I won't give a word away! Pichols made a gag gesture and then said excitedly, "Call me next time you have this kind of work!" ”

"You're definitely indispensable!" Davers laughed.

When Pichols came out of the tent, Gilgris immediately asked with concern, "Pichols is Menon's Persian translator, is he reliable?" ”

"I've heard that Menon can speak Persian, and Pichols has nothing to do, but is often called by Menon as a coolie, and he will be stupid enough to offend us, not to mention that he can still earn money." Oliver chimed in. When he woke up, he knew that he had almost gone to hell, and immediately thanked Davers, who knew that Davers reacted coldly to him, and he realized something, so he has been relatively quiet until now.

But as soon as he spoke, there was a brief silence in the tent.

"Davers, how do you know that the Persian merchant buried the money in the courtyard?" Giogris asked suddenly.

Davers understood that Geogris was trying to liven up the atmosphere, and said, "It's very simple, when we captured Marigi, I found out that he was not only worried about his wife and daughter being bullied by us-" Davers said this, glancing at Oliver: "From time to time, I quietly glanced at the old tree in the yard, and I walked over to take a closer look, and there was a place under the tree that was a little different in color, and it was new soil. Of course, I was suspicious, but I didn't scare him much, this guy was timid and took the initiative to confess. ”

Several people loudly praised Davers for his attentiveness, especially Oliver's loudest voice.

Davers said to Giogris: "This money is of great use to us, you go to the baggage camp every day to check it, don't let that fat man take advantage of it." ”

"Okay."

……………………………

After several raids by Greek mercenaries, the marching column of the contingent grew larger and more bloated.

In the following days, as Marigi said, the army marched along the right bank of the Tigris River, then crossed the river and reached the city, Caigne. Here again, they were well supplied. However, the suspicion of the Persians among the Greek mercenary soldiers increased, and new rumors continued to spread among the army, leading to an increase in clashes between the soldiers of the two armies after the camp.

Finally, when they reached the Zapatas River, a large-scale armed fight broke out between the soldiers of the two armies, and more than 100 people on both sides were armed with weapons, and more than 10 people were killed and wounded. If it weren't for the timely arrival of the leaders of both sides and the dispatch of troops to separate the two sides in time, the results would have been unimaginable.

This led to the cancellation of the next day's march and the restriction of the soldiers of the battalions from the camp. They were marching every day, and Davers was physically and mentally exhausted, and it was rare to have a day of free time, and everyone slept lazily.

Mersis of the baggage camp hurried to slaughter some of the plundered livestock and make them into sausages.

Just when Davers woke up, Antonios got into the tent with an anxious face: "Davers, Menon, Clearcus, Proxinus and other leaders are going to the Persian military camp to negotiate!" ”

"What !!" Davers rolled over and sat up.

"After hearing that because of last night's incident, Clearcous immediately went to Tisa Finnis to negotiate, hoping to dispel the suspicion of mutual distrust between the two sides and prevent such hostile behavior from happening again. Perhaps the two sides had negotiated well, and Clarchus had spent the night directly in the Persian barracks, and this morning he returned safely, and then sent to inform the leaders of the barracks, and went with him to the Persian camp for further talks with Tisaponis. It is said that many soldiers and officers in the other barracks objected to their passing, but in the end the leaders came to an agreement and they were about to set off. Antonios spoke quickly and quickly to finish what had happened.

"Why didn't anyone in our camp inform me about this?" Shilos asked in surprise.

"Menon didn't consult with the others, he only quietly brought the two squadron leaders, Capes and Millstic." Antonios said with an embarrassed expression. He knew in his heart that after the last collective "forced palace" incident,

Most of the officers and soldiers were no longer willing to obey Menon's orders, and after Menon lost his prestige, he did not want to consult them anymore, so he went directly to two squadron leaders who were willing to listen to him.

Antonios did not elaborate, but said: "I also heard the noise of the soldiers in the nearby Socratic barracks, and I found out about it when I asked. ”

"Who are the people who are going?" Davers stood up and asked with a serious look as he quickly dressed.

Antonios chuckled in his heart, and Davers's expression confirmed the uneasiness he felt in his heart: "There are five leaders of Clearcus, Proxinus, Menon, Socrates, and Akias, and a dozen squadron leaders. ”

"Let's go! Come on! Take me to them, it's too late!! Davers put on his linen liner and anxiously pulled Antonios out, Shilos and the others following closely behind.
