CHAPTER XXIX
Mersis leaned over and whispered, "Davers, the Persians you sent to the baggage camp last time, according to your request, I have taken good care of them!" ”
"Really?" Davers looked at him with a smirk: "How can I thank you?" ”
"You're the leader, that's my duty. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Info" Mersis smirked, leaned closer, and whispered, "In addition, Menon has nearly two Tarrant silver possessions stored in the baggage camp......"
Two tarantos were equivalent to sixty-five kilograms of silver, which was a lot of money, and Menon was indeed very profitable. It's just that for Davers, who has only been reborn for a long time, he doesn't have a deep idea of Greek coins, so he doesn't seem very surprised, he thinks about it seriously and says, "Does Menon have any immediate family?" ”
Mersis kept looking at Davers, seeing that he didn't look unusual, and when he heard this, he immediately understood Davers's intentions, and there was a little more admiration in his heart, and he hurriedly said, "No." ”
"Have you ever had a will?"
"Nope. He never thought he would die so early. ”
Davos pondered for a while, and said with a sigh: "Menon created this military camp, and he has also put in a lot of efforts for this military camp, so use this money for the development of our military camp." ”
"Davers, you are so impartial!" Mersis complimented loudly, then rubbed his hands and asked carefully, "You counted the number of people so quickly just now, could it be that Hades gave you some inspiration?" ”
Davers had already seen that he still had something on his mind, but he didn't expect it to be for this: "Of course there is!" ”
"Can you teach me?" Mersis begged.
Davers was surprised that this fat man could still have such a strong desire for knowledge even though he was also a handful of years, and couldn't help but admire a little: "Of course it's no problem." ”
"Great! Davers, you are the best boss! Mersis couldn't help but hug Davers, who stiffened, the ancient Greek homosexual tradition made him always wary of excessive physical contact, but soon he realized that he was overthinking, and Mersis was just expressing his gratitude to him. Undoubtedly, this fat man has also become his staunch supporter.
………………………………
By the time everything had been arranged, it was past noon, and Davers thought he was going to be late, but when he and Phellisius arrived at the mercenary tent, they found only Chrysopes and Timason in the tent.
When Christopus saw the two men entering, one of whom was the same young man he had seen at the rally earlier, his brow furrowed at once, and he said in a deep voice, "You are mercenaries from Menon." Who is the leader of your camp? As he spoke, his gaze naturally turned to Phellisius.
Before Davers could speak, Felicius turned to one side, led his left hand to Davers, and said solemnly: "All our soldiers unanimously elected Davers as the new leader of our barracks!" ”
Chrysops and Timason's eyes widened in shock. After a while, the two looked at each other, and then Tima Song questioned loudly: "We are about to go to war with the Persians, everyone must go all out, your military camp elected a child who has not grown up yet, do you want to drag us down!" Did you know that war kills people, and many people die!! ”
Timason's last remark was addressed to Davers, clearly intimidating.
Davers faced the somewhat hideous Timason, and responded without showing weakness: "When the fight starts, I don't know who will drag who!" Fighting the Persians, brute force alone will not work! Where were you when I went to stop Clearcus and Menon! If they had heeded my advice, they wouldn't be in such a bad situation today! ”
"Of course I do...... There is an obstruction...... "Timason's heart has always felt guilty about the capture of Clearcus, so he was drawn by Davers's topic and answered with little confidence.
"Everyone in our barracks thinks that Davers is the best person to be the leader, and not a single one of them object! and entrusted me with the position of adjutant to assist the chief of Davers in the management of military affairs. Phelicius stressed loudly again. As an old mercenary, he knew what Chrysoppes and Timason were worried about and trying to do.
Chrysopus looked at Phellisius again: "Who is this?" ”
"Phellisius, Menon's lieutenant, the de facto ruler of his barracks......" Timasong said in a strange tone beside Cresops.
"Oh......" Cresops looked intriguing. Davers could guess what they were thinking, but he didn't want to argue, time would tell.
"Other camps are still fiercely electing, but you are choosing quickly." Christopus finally stood up and said with a slight teasingness.
Davers immediately said: "At this critical juncture, it is better for the whole army to be ideologically unified than to go their own way!" ”
Chrysops was stunned: this young new leader didn't know anything else, at least he was not weak in eloquence. He reluctantly saluted and said, "You're welcome." ”
Davers returned the salute, "It's a pleasure to fight with you!" ”
For a while, there was no word in the tent.
Ten minutes later, Zantiparis entered, and he replaced Socrates as the new chieftain.
Cyano then replaced Achilles as the new leader.
The last to come in was Hieronymus, who squeezed out Agacia and replaced Proxinus as the new chieftain. And with him came Xenophon, an acquaintance of Davers, who became the lieutenant of Hieronymus.
Everyone expressed surprise at Davers's age, but fortunately it was already afternoon and time was pressing.
As soon as everyone arrived, Chrysopus immediately said, "Ladies and gentlemen, let's first decide on the retreat route back to Greece. My opinion is to follow the original route, to go north along the Tigris, into Armenia, to the Sea of Euks, and then to return to Aeolia by boat......"
"This is the route that Tisa Fernis arranged for us, and it was originally a conspiracy! I have heard that there are quite a few barbarian races in the north, even the Persians have a headache, and they are a great threat to us! Zantiparis objected.
"So what's your suggestion? Heading west?! Not to mention the further distance, the more important thing is that we are now in a state of war with Persia, and every day we stay in Persian soil will be in danger for one more day, and the Persians can mobilize more soldiers to besiege us at any time! Since the north is a headache for the Persians, it just means that their rule over the north is not strong, and this is our chance! Those barbarians have no grudge against us, and we have a common enemy, Persia! ......" Timas spoke eloquently, apparently having communicated with Chrysops before.
Sure enough, I still have to take the north road! Davers looked approving when he saw that Zantiparis looked like everyone else.
"Let's vote. Raise your hand if you agree to go north! Chrysops said
It was unanimously adopted.
"In order to concentrate our soldiers in battle with the Persians, and to prevent them from being struck by being too dispersed," said Chrysopus, "I propose that the small mercenary battalions of Sosis and Pacion be incorporated into our midst. Of course, this is subject to the voluntary merger of both parties. ”
"Together, how to distribute the military rations? How will the property collected by each of them be distributed? ......," Hieronymus asked earnestly.
"It's already been said that both parties are voluntary, if he is willing to join your barracks, you can discuss it privately." Timasong said impatiently.
Annexation of other small barracks?! Davers was a little moved, after all, the more troops there were, the better the chances of the barracks surviving in battle.
"Since everyone agrees, we will announce this at the All-Army Congress. In addition, there is the more important question, in a state of being attacked by the Persians at any time, in what formation will we march in order to ensure our safety as much as possible? Curithorpes looked around at the crowd, and without waiting for them to answer, he had already taken out a wooden stick and gestured on the ground: "My suggestion is to advance in a large air formation, that is, two mercenaries to lead the whole army in the vanguard, one mercenary on the left and one to protect the flanks, and two mercenaries to act as the rearguard, and our baggage team and non-combatants in the middle...... What do you guys think? ”
