Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The task assigned to Davis was to go to the battlefield to retrieve the spears, shields, and even carriages discarded by both parties, and use them as wood for cooking meat.To this end, they were also assigned a bullock cart.

The battlefield is not far from the camp.Yesterday the cavalry went out to investigate and found that the Persian army had left, so they dared to send soldiers out to clean the battlefield.However, there were many soldiers sent, mainly because they were afraid of being attacked by the Persian cavalry.

Before he arrived at the battlefield, Davers saw the sky ahead, as if it were black, hovering countless crows, and the harsh voice made him feel palpitations!

Before that, on the grass a few miles away, there were layers of human corpses and horse corpses covered with dense flies and insects, and even wild wolves and wild leopards were eating the corpse bones. Avoiding, just looking at it from afar, a cold light flashing in your eyes...

Every step of Daphes raised a layer of flies, buzzing, and fluttered straight to his face, driving away.

Daveus looked pale and felt his stomach tumbling.

"Daveus, you have experienced this kind of scene many times, how can you still feel uncomfortable?!" Mattonis said with a trace of joy in his concerned words.Because he felt that Daveus had changed, but he still needed something to look after.

"I'm fine!...vomiting..." Daveus swallowed hard.Memory is memory, after all, this is the first time he, a modern man, has witnessed this bloody massacre for the first time.But he knew in his heart: In this chaotic world, such a scene will appear in front of him again and again, he must adapt!

He released his hand covering his nose, forced to endure the pungent stench, lifted the body off the ground, pulled out the shield under pressure, quickly took the maggot on the top, and threw it onto the bullock cart.

When he first arrived on the battlefield, the trailer’s cattle couldn’t stand this horrible environment anymore. He was always restless and nearly hit Matonis. Or did Daveus come up with an idea and cover his eyes with linen cloth. Quiet a lot.

Everyone has been busy for a long time, the bullock cart is full, and everyone still holds a bundle.

"What about Davis?" Matonis found that there was one less person in the team.

"There!" Olivers pointed not far away: Daveus was throwing a javelin at a corpse-eating vulture, but it was quickly flashed away by the seemingly clumsy vulture.

"It seems he is preparing to participate in Olympia's javelin competition!" Olivers said jokingly.

"Shut up!" Matonis glared at him, and then walked towards Daveus.

Daveus saw his arrival, and quite naturally picked up a javelin from the ground.Now, he has begun to adapt to this harsh environment.

"Martonis, how many of our archers?" Daphes asked, stroking the sharp spearhead with his hand.

Matonis is totally not good at this problem. Fortunately, there is Georgis: "Archer?... I remember it seems that only Clearcous has nearly three hundred Cretan archers...if Count the light shield soldiers who can throw javelins... well all... probably there are... there are three thousand people."

"Three thousand people. How many light shield soldiers do we have here?" Dave asked.

"There are about four hundred people..."

"Martonis, don't burn the javelin, it's a pity, why don't we all equip one or two javelins, what do you think?" Davers thought for a while and said

Matonis has not answered yet, Oliver said first: "We are heavy infantry!"

"But in the face of the Persian cavalry, our heavy infantry can't get close to them, we can only avoid the bows and javelins they shoot!" The reason why Davis made this proposal is because of the regret in this body's memory.When collecting this wooden weapon, he suddenly got this inspiration, because he knew that another world-famous Roman heavy infantry in history was not only amazing in close combat, but their javelin throwing was also terrifying, so he only got this proposal.

"There are enough cavalry there." Olivers said.

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

"Is this the "oracle" Hades gave you?" Geogris asked urgently.

Daveus laughed without answering.

"I think this is a good idea, go back and talk to Shilos." Matonis took the javelin in Davers's hand, turned around, and threw the javelin out suddenly. The vulture still pecked fell to the ground.

"However, Davos, you still need to learn your javelin skills!" Matonis said proudly.

Greek heavy infantry not using javelins is just a matter of tradition and habit, but the Greeks’ javelin skills are not bad, and even the top in the Mediterranean, because the javelin is one of the pentathlons of the Olympia Games, and the Greek boys have been in the arena since childhood. Start training these.

"Great! Not only beef and mutton but also bird meat at noon!"

"I heard that the meat of this bird cannot be eaten because it comes from hell..."

………………………

In the camp, the livestock have been slaughtered, the meat has been cut, placed in a crock, filled with water, placed on a temporary earthen stove, everything is ready.

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

Matonis told Dalos what he thought.

Since it was the proposal of the "beloved", after careful consideration, Hilos felt that this idea was acceptable: a javelin was not heavy, and a heavy infantry carrying two javelins was completely acceptable.So he went to Antonios, hoping to get support.

Antonios called the other nine captains under his command and wanted to hear their thoughts first.Some of the captains were in favor and some were against.Opponents insisted on the Greek tradition of heavy infantry, and believed that Mennon had 500 light shield soldiers, and it was not necessary to allow heavy infantry to take javelins. Proponents believed that although there were 500 light shield soldiers in the camp, but They are all Thracians, and the two sides do not cooperate well.The heavy infantry has its own javelin, at least it can force the Persian cavalry not to come too close, to reduce casualties.After the dispute between the two parties, the Antonios could not make a decision. He had to say: As long as it does not affect the combat, each team decides whether to carry the javelin.

Silos came back happily, preparing to tell Davers, but found that a group of people were staring at the churning meat in the crock, but Davers was missing.

"What about Davers?"

"I'm going to see the internal organs of the animals that were thrown away...what was wasted..."

When everyone was puzzled, Davis saw a bloody sheep intestine with a spear and came over.

"Hey, take this smelly thing away! Affect our appetite!" everyone shouted, covering their noses.

Deverus ignored it, and said aloud: "I saw a lot of cattle and sheep offal at the camp, leaving the birds and wild dogs away, it's too wasteful! Don't forget, we were hungry two days ago I hate to eat my hands! In the next few days, whether it is fighting or marching, there may be hunger. We should pick up these things and store them to prevent this from happening again. We still have something to eat!"

"Can those things be eaten?" a strong soldier asked.

Daveus remembered his name as Maltius, a soldier living in another tent. His question was exactly what everyone wanted to ask.The Greeks mainly ate cereals and ate very little meat. Only this time they went deep into Persian territory. Because of logistical supply, they began to eat meat frequently.Animal offal not only smells fishy, ​​but in the absence of spices and cooking methods, it tastes very smelly, so apart from using it for divination, few people will try to eat it, and even think that it will be poisoned.

"Of course you can eat! These things are not only very camp... not only can fill our stomach, but also improve our body. For example, let us see more clearly at night." Davers replied affirmatively.

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

Five people in another tent looked suspicious.

"Daveus is a'family guardian'! Do you know? He fell down on the battlefield before, and after he fell into a coma..." Olivers began to brag to them about the amazing changes these days.
