Davers was tasked with going to the battlefield to pick up the spears, shields, and even carriages that had been discarded by both sides, and use them as wood to cook meat. For www.biquge.info this purpose, they were also allocated an ox cart.

The battlefield was not far from the camp. Yesterday the cavalry went out to reconnoitre, and found that the army of the king of Persia had left, so they dared to send soldiers out to clean up the battlefield. However, many soldiers were sent, mainly for fear of being attacked by the Persian cavalry.

Before he reached the battlefield, Davers saw the sky in front of him from a distance, as if it was dark, and countless crows were circling, and the piercing cry made him feel palpitations!

Approaching, the grass within a radius of several miles was covered with human corpses and horse corpses, and the corpses were densely packed with flies and insects, and even wild wolves and wild leopards were gnawing on the bones of the corpses......

With each step, Davers kicked off a layer of flies, buzzing, and slamming them in his face.

Davers turned pale and felt his whole stomach churning.

"Davers, you've experienced this kind of scene many times, why do you still feel uncomfortable?!" There was a hint of joy in Mattonis's words of concern. Because he felt that although Davers had changed, there was still something he needed to take care of.

"I'm fine! …… ...... vomit," Davers swallowed hard. Memories are memories, and this is, after all, the battlefield where he, a modern person, has witnessed this bloody massacre with his own eyes. But he knew in his heart: in this troubled world, such scenes will appear in front of him again and again in the future, and he must adapt!

He let go of the hand covering his nose, forcibly endured the pungent stench, picked the corpse on the ground, pulled out the shield pressed underneath, quickly slapped the maggots on it, and threw it down on the ox cart.

When he first arrived at the battlefield, the cattle in the trailer could not bear the horror of the environment, and were restless all the time, and almost hit Matonis, but it was Davers who came up with the idea to blindfold it with linen, and it was much quieter.

Everyone was busy for a long time, the ox cart was full, and each person carried a bundle.

"What about Davers?" Martonis noticed that there was one man missing from the team.

"There!" Oliver pointed not far away: Davers was throwing a javelin at a vulture pecking at a corpse, only to be nimble by the seemingly clumsy vulture.

"Looks like he's going to compete in the javelin at Olympia!" Oliver said jokingly.

"Shut up!" Martonis glared at him, then walked towards Davers.

Seeing him coming, Davers picked up a javelin from the ground quite naturally. Now, he has begun to adapt to this harsh environment.

"Mattonis, how many archers do we have?" Davers asked, stroking the sharp tip of the gun with his hand.

Mattonis, who was not at all good at this aspect, was fortunate to have the attentive Giogris: "Archers? …… I remember that there seemed to be almost three hundred Cretan archers under Clearcus alone...... If you count the light shieldmen who can throw javelins...... Well, all ...... There may be ...... There were three thousand people. ”

"Three thousand. How many light shields do we have on our side? Davers asked.

"About 400 people......

"Mattonis, don't burn the javelins, it's a pity, why don't we each have one or two javelins, what do you think?" Davers thought for a moment and said

Before Mattonis could reply, Oliver preemptively said, "We're hoplites!" ”

"But when facing the Persian cavalry, our heavy infantry can't get close to them, and can only dodge their bows and javelins!" The reason why Davers has this proposal is because this regret is kept in the memory of this body. While collecting this wooden weapon, he had the idea because he knew that another world-famous Roman hoplite in history was not only amazing in melee combat, but also terrifying in their javelin throwing.

"Arirous has enough cavalry there." Oliver said.

Davers smiled: "It's better to rely on others than on yourself." ”

"Is this the 'oracle' that Hades gave you?" Giogris asked urgently.

Davers laughed but didn't answer.

"I think it's a good idea, go back and talk to Shiros." Martonis took the javelin from Davers's hand, turned around, and threw the javelin violently, and the vulture, which was still pecking, fell to the ground.

"Still, Davers, you still need to learn your javelin technique!" Mattonis said proudly.

It is only a matter of tradition and habit that the Greek heavy infantry does not use javelins, but the Javelin skills of the Greeks are not bad, even among the best in the Mediterranean, because the javelin is one of the pentathlon at the Olympia Games, and Greek boys have been training in the arena since childhood.

"Great! At noon, there is not only beef and mutton to eat, but also bird meat to eat! ”

"I've heard that the meat of this bird can't be eaten because it comes from hell......"

………………………

In the camp, the livestock had been slaughtered, the meat had been cut, placed in clay pots, filled with water, set up on makeshift earthen stoves, and everything was ready.

Everyone pulled back their weapons, chopped them up, and burned the fire to cook the meat.

Martonis told Shilos what Davers had in mind.

Since it was the proposal of the "Divine Favorite", after careful consideration, Shilos felt that this idea was acceptable: the javelins were not heavy, and one heavy infantry carried two javelins, which was completely acceptable. So, he went to Antonios, hoping for support.

Antonios summoned the remaining nine squad leaders to hear what they had to say. Some of the squad leaders are for and some against. Opponents clinged to the tradition of the Greek heavy infantry, and argued that Menon already had five hundred light shields under his command, and that it was completely unnecessary for the heavy infantry to carry javelins; Those in favor argue that although there were 500 light shield soldiers in the camp, they were all Thracians, and the two sides did not cooperate very well. The heavy infantry had their own javelins, which at least could force the Persian cavalry not to get too close in order to reduce casualties. The two sides argued, and Antonios could not make a decision, so he had to say: as long as it does not affect the battle, each squad decides whether to carry javelins or not.

Shilos returned happily and was about to speak to Davers, only to find a crowd of salivating stares at the churning pieces of meat in the crockpot, except for Davers.

"What about Davers?"

"I said I was going to see the entrails of the animals that had been thrown away...... What else is a waste of ......"

While everyone was puzzled, they saw Davers approaching with a spear carrying a bloody sheep's intestine.

"Hey, get rid of this stinky! Affect our appetite! The crowd covered their noses and shouted.

Davers ignored it, but exclaimed, "I saw that a large amount of cattle and sheep offal were discarded in the baggage camp and left to be eaten by birds and wild dogs, what a waste!" Don't forget, the other two days we were so hungry that we couldn't eat our hands! In the next few days, whether it is fighting or marching, there may be times when we go hungry, and we should pick these things up and stock them up in case this happens again, and we still have something to eat! ”

"Can you eat those things?" A strong soldier asked.

Davers remembered that his name was Maltius, that he was a soldier who lived in another tent, and that his question was exactly what everyone wanted to ask. The Greeks mainly ate cereals as a staple food and ate very little meat, but it was only this time that they went deep into Persia and began to eat meat frequently because of logistical supply reasons. Animal offal not only smells fishy, but also tastes very fishy in the absence of spices and cooking methods, so few people will try to eat it except for using it for divination, and even think that eating it will be poisonous.

"Of course you can eat it! Not only are these things very ...... Not only can it fill our stomachs, but it also improves our body. For example, it allows us to see more clearly at night. Davers replied in the affirmative.

"Really?! That's great! Mattonis said happily.

The five men in the other tent looked suspicious.

"Davers is a 'god'! Did you know? After he fell on the battlefield and fell unconscious...... "Oliver began to brag to them about the amazing changes in Davers over the past two days.
