Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

When the sun began to sink, the soldiers began to sort out their equipment.

Put on the breastplate-this is made of multiple layers of linen glued together.It is about five or six centimeters thick, very hard and tough, but not too heavy.The hem is down to the thigh and is cut into wings to facilitate movement.

Put on the shin guard to protect the calf.Tie the Greek saber on the waist-this is a curved sword with a length of sixty-five centimeters and a single-edged blade that bends like a dog's hind leg.

The Collins helmet cannot be worn at this time, because the march was not clear at night, and this helmet with only the eyes will narrow the line of sight.Daveus learned to tie his helmet to a two-meter spear.

The bayonet is the main weapon of the Greek heavy infantry.The barrel is made of ash tree, the leaf-shaped barrel is made of iron, and the end of the barrel is also set with copper tail nails.

Davers picked up the shield in his left hand.It is shallow bowl-shaped, with a wooden interior and copper-coated outer body, with a diameter of about ninety centimeters. The shield is painted with Minotaur's face.There is a belt on the inside for the left arm to be inserted into the elbow, so that the soldier can put the entire left arm on the round shield, which is not only labor-saving, but also more convenient for defense and shield strike.There is also a small metal hook attached to the outer edge of the inside of the round shield, which can be hung on the shoulder, which is convenient for marching.

With a shield in his left and a gun in his right, Daphes couldn't help laughing: he transformed himself from a modern man into an ancient Western armored warrior.However, the cells of the whole body boiled with joy, making him realize that the muscle memory of this body is working.

He tried to walk a few steps and felt comfortable.I was agitated when I was nervous.Every man has a warrior dream in his heart!That is the ancestor's inheritance in the blood from the Ru Mao drinking time.Modern people in the peace era can no longer feel the courage to fight face-to-face, and Daveus of this era of crossing has such an opportunity!

While Davos was still adapting to this outfit, Hilos reminded him, "You have nothing to take."

See two javelins and a bunch of sausages on the ground.He smiled bitterly: This is really self-inflicted!

He carefully put the sausage on his chest, lest the grease might get on the breastplate.

At this time, the squadron leader Antonios came over and said to Silos: "We have to go to the camp and act together with Melses." After finishing speaking, he nodded to Daveus. Apparently, Daveus's reputation had reached this man. In the ear of the squadron leader, he did not dare to ignore.

"Who gave the order? Isn't Menon still there at Aliros?" Hilos asked strangely.He was reluctant to act together with the yoke camp, and his actions were slow, and the danger was still great.

"On the order of Deputy Lieutenant Philius, he temporarily acted as commander for Menon. Last time the Persians broke through our camp, most of the slaves in the battalion escaped. They are now short of manpower, and Mercis named our team to help. "After that, he glanced at Daveus again.

…………………………

"Daveus, didn't expect it! We met again!" Mercis laughed and walked straight through the team officers and soldiers, giving Davies a hug.

I knew it was the fat man who was making trouble!Davers grinned helplessly.

"Everyone else is going to lead those animals. Daphes is with me." He ordered.

This fat man is harsh and ruthless when he is not familiar with you. Once the relationship is good, he is too passionate.Isn't this helping you pull hatred?Davers quickly refused.

There are hundreds of livestock and dozens of bullock carts full of goods, as well as many slaves and women.

Simultaneously.The tandem can be up to two miles long.This is just a military barracks, and you can imagine how bloated the mercenaries in Greece are.Daveus observed all this and meditated in his heart.

At this time, the long camping number in the night sounded over the noisy camp.

Time to go.Daveus pulled the cow rope subconsciously, feeling a little nervous.

The team started to advance.The battalion was on the right, the troops were on the left, and the team officers held torches high.In the cold moonlight.The entire Greek army crawled slowly like a long, blinded fire dragon.

After walking for about an hour, I heard the sound of running water ahead.Daphes knew: the Euphrates was coming.

The river at night is dark and gloomy, as if it has infinite width and depth, which can cause great fear.Therefore, the team is much quieter, lest the river god be disturbed.

At this time, the queue naturally turned into a yoke battalion marching along the left bank of the Euphrates River. The troops were outside and protected the property of their camp. Obviously, the leaders had some experience in marching at night.Daveus looked at it silently, studying.

Mennon’s troops were at the end of the entire queue.Of course, this was not Mei Long's request. In fact, he asked someone to come back and ask his troops to walk in the middle of the entire team.But the leaders were dissatisfied with Mennon.Because at the beginning of the march from Asia to Babylon, Mennon rushed to be a pioneer, burned and looted in order to earn a performance in front of the little Cyrus, and he had a lot of benefits.Now I have to retreat, and I want to walk in the middle to protect my soldiers from attacks and reduce losses.How could any good thing let him alone!So unanimously decided to let his team last.This is what Mellon's confidant, Melses, told Davis, so that he had a certain understanding of Menon.

At this time, the army's herald, Tormid, finally rushed to Mennon's team and conveyed the command: "The front has merged with Aliros's army. The leaders are discussing with Aliros. Please rest in place, Stay alert and wait for orders!"

The quiet team suddenly commotion:

"I can finally rest for a while!"

"We have been away for two hours, I am almost exhausted!"

"Me too. It's too tiring to take the bullock cart! We can't follow the camp again tomorrow!"

"That's right! Go talk to the squadron leader tomorrow."

"Speak now!"

...

Looking at the noisy soldiers, Davers stood up and said loudly, "Brothers, please be quiet! Brothers! I am Davers!"

Unexpectedly, his shouting was more effective than the squadron leader Antonius. The soldiers in the battalion stopped the noise and wanted to hear what the'sacred person' said.

"I'll tell you a story, how to solve the problem, okay?"

"what story?"

"It's called Ah...Aris and the forty thieves."

"Sounds great! Come and listen!"

So, Davers cleared his throat and began to preach aloud: "There used to be a family in a small town in Ionia..."

Gradually, the Yingying camp was completely quiet, and even the pack animals stopped hissing.The soldiers, as well as the slaves and women, listened attentively.They were envious that Aris had no intention of obtaining the wealth of the thieves; they were ridiculous for the screaming of cave passwords by Aris’s brother; they were nervous for the thieves to find Aris’ house; and they applauded the wisdom of the slave girls.

After the story is over, everyone's intentions are still not enough:

"Aris is so lucky!

"He is lucky because he has a smart and beautiful Persian slave girl!"

"Yes! I think he can redeem the slave girl and make her a free man! After all, she saved Aris!"

"Fool! He should marry the slave girl as a concubine. Then the slave girl can continue to help him!"

...

Everyone talked endlessly.

"Daveus, is there really a cave full of gold and silver treasures?" Even Mercys couldn't help but leaned to Daves to ask.

Antonios looked at the back of Davos in front and couldn't help but sigh: "Silos, there is a talent in your village!"

"Are you talking about Daphes? Of course, he is a'Godkeeper'! I even want to give him the position of my captain."

"Captain?" Antonius pouted.A mercenary leader will often replace the soldiers who supplement him, and most of the middle and senior officers who lead the team are his confidants, which will not be easily changed, because it is convenient for him to control the troops.Antonios and Menon have also been around for five or six years, because they have also seen a lot of Greek and Persian dignitaries in the task, and have some experience in seeing people.

After a day of observation, he found that Davis had a calm personality, not at all like a 19-year-old child.He is very disciplined in his work. He is humble and polite when dealing with people, and his eloquence is good. The soldiers are happy to be close to him.But he often has whimsy and can solve problems that others can't solve; when marching, he also saw with his own eyes that Daveus either helped others with shields or pushed carts.Such a person can be trusted even if he is young.

If his ability to command operations is not weak, then such a charming and capable person, his future is inestimable.If he has enough financial resources, he can become a qualified mercenary leader!Anthony thought of this and thought of Menon again: What would he do when he knew that such a character suddenly appeared in his military camp?
