Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"There is another problem." Daveus glanced back and asked righteously: "Where on this road did we count out of the jurisdiction of the Persian royal family?"

Mariji was anxious to please Daveus, thought about it seriously, and drew a circle on the sketch: "Here! Pass Mespila!"

"Mespila?" Daveus looked carefully at the pattern on the floor.

"Mespila was the capital of Nineveh, the former Assyrian capital! After it passed, it was Dukeya." Mariji emphasized.

Daveus nodded: "Are you familiar with Duquesne?"

"Not very familiar, just do business with them, exchange their food with food!" Mariji said with an angry expression on his face: "But they are barbarians who are not loyal and often don't pay. Wound, grab something!"

After listening carefully, Davers turned to Matonis and said, "Take his family to the camp and let Melses take good care of it, but you must tell Melses not to abuse him and his wife and daughter, Don't use them as slaves!"

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

"It seems that you can understand Greek and pretended not to understand it before," Dave said.

Mariji didn't justify at this moment, just howling and crying.

"In fact, I'm not letting you go with your family, it's for your own good. Do you know that your lord, the king's brother, Cyrus, has died in battle!"

Mariji suddenly stopped crying, and the hand holding Daphes' legs lost strength, and asked weakly: "His Royal Highness Cyrus is really dead?"

"Actually, you guessed it just now, didn't you? Otherwise, how did Tisafness bring us here, and it was he who allowed us to rob your village because it was a punishment for the rebellion of Little Cyrus! Such punishment , I believe, this will never be the only one! I am afraid that everyone who has a close relationship with him will not be able to escape, are you right?"

Mariji was already paralyzed on the ground, delirious.

Matonis pulled him up and dragged him out.

"This man doesn't look like an ordinary businessman." Hilos watched Mariji being dragged out of the tent and said to Daphes.

"You are right!" Daveus nodded.The family lives in a dilapidated house, but hides a lot of gold and silver and gorgeous clothes, just look at the temperament of him and his wife, which is like an ordinary Persian businessman, but also proficient in Greek, know so many things .Perhaps he was a relative or a supervisor of Little Cyrus, or his royal merchant. After knowing that Little Cyrus was a rebellion, he hid in a remote village in his territory to avoid misfortune.If it weren’t for the village chief’s whistleblower, he almost missed a big fish

Daphes was thankful that he had selectively forgotten how he tortured the village chief and his family.He said to Silos: "Captain, you have to trouble you again to emphasize with Mercis, no one is allowed to harass his family, he is very useful to us! Since little Cyrus is dead, I want to let He truly trusted us!"

A soldier gave orders to his captain, and everyone present was not surprised. Davis' leadership in the squad was established.

"Okay." Silos quickly stepped out of the tent without hesitation.

"Pixar, thank you very much! Today, you have helped me a lot!" Daveus turned and said to a soldier.

"It's my pleasure to be able to help you!" Pickles said slightly obediently.

Daveus pulled out two drachmas and put them in his hands.

"This...this..." Pickles resigned pretendingly.

Daphes said: "Please accept it! I really want to thank you for this matter today, and I hope you can keep it secret, so that Mennon will not know it!"

After listening to this, Picoles said no more, and put the silver coins in his arms, and said in his mouth: "You can rest assured, I don't like that guy! Assure Hades, I won't tell you anything!" Picco He made a gesture of closing his mouth, and then said excitedly: "Next time there is such a job, just call me!"

"It must be you!" Daveus smiled.

When Pikels came out of the tent, Gilgris immediately asked with concern: "Pikeles is Mennon's Persian translator. Is he reliable?"

"I heard that Mennon speaks Persian, and Piquels has nothing to do. Instead, he is often called by Mennon as a brute force. He will be silly to offend us, not to mention he can make money," Olivers interjected.After he was awake, he knew that he had almost gone to hell. He immediately thanked Daveus. Who knows that Daveus reacted coldly to him. He realized what he was aware of, so he has been quieter until now.

But as soon as he spoke, the tent fell into a brief silence.

"Daveus, how do you know that Persian businessman buried the money in the yard?" Georgris suddenly asked.

Daphes understood that Geogris wanted an active atmosphere, and said: "It's very simple. When we captured Mariji, I found him besides worrying about his wife and daughter being bullied by us--" Davos Speaking of which, he glanced at Oliver: "His eyes still quietly glanced at the old tree in the yard. I walked over to take a closer look. There was a place under the tree that was a little different in color and was new soil. Of course I There was suspicion, and the result did not scare him much. The guy was timid and confessed."

Several people’s congresses claimed to praise Davos for his carefulness, especially when Oliver spoke most loudly.

Daveus said to Georgris: "The money is of great use to us, you go to the camp every day to check, don't let that fat man take advantage."

"Ok."

……………………………

After multiple looting by Greek mercenaries, the marching column of the team became larger and bloated.

In the following days, as Mariji said, the army had been walking along the right bank of the Tigris River, and then crossed the river to reach the city-Gagne.Here, they received another adequate supply.However, the Greek mercenary soldiers' suspicion of the Persians has become more serious, and new rumors continue to spread in the army, resulting in increased conflict between the two soldiers after the camp.

Finally, when they reached the Zapatas River, the soldiers of the two armies engaged in large-scale fighting. More than a hundred people on both sides held weapons and fought, killing more than ten people.If the leaders of both sides arrived in time, sending troops to separate the two parties in time, the result is unimaginable.

This caused the march to be cancelled the next day, and soldiers from each battalion were restricted from leaving the battalion.Every day was marching, and they were exhausted physically and mentally. Dafos rarely had a day of free time, and everyone slept.

In the battalion, Mercis seized the time and slaughtered the looted animals to make a sausage.

Just when Daveus woke up, Antonios got into the tent, his face anxious: "Daveus, Menon, Clearkus, Proccinus and other leaders are going to the Persian barracks Go negotiate!"

"What!!!" Daveus turned and sat up in shock.

"I heard that because of what happened last night, Clearkus immediately went to Tisavonis to negotiate, hoping to eliminate the suspicion of mutual distrust between the two sides and avoid the occurrence of such hostilities. Maybe the two sides talked well , Clearkus spent the night directly in the Persian military barracks, he returned safely this morning, and then sent someone to notify the leaders of the various military barracks to go to the Persian military barracks with him for further talks with Tisavonis. It is said that other military barracks There were many soldiers and team officers who opposed their past, but in the end the leaders still reached an agreement, and they were about to leave." Antonios quickly finished the story.

"Why didn't anyone in the camp inform about this?" Hilos asked in surprise.

"Mennon didn't discuss with others, he only quietly took Capes and Milstic two squadron captains." Antonios said embarrassedly.He knew in his heart that since the last collective "forced palace" incident,

Most of the team officers and soldiers no longer wanted to obey Menon's orders, and after Menon's prestige was lost, he did not want to discuss with them any more, and directly found two squadron captains who were willing to listen to him.

Antonius did not explain in detail, but said: "I also heard the noise from the soldiers of the neighboring Socrates barracks. I only knew about it when I asked."

"Who are you going to?" Daveus stood up and asked seriously, while dressing quickly.

Anthony “giggled” in his heart, and Dave’s expression confirmed the uneasiness in his heart: “The five chiefs of Clearkus, Proccinus, Menon, Socrates, Agias, and A dozen squadron leaders."

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Take me to find them, and it will be over later!!!" Daveus put on a linen lining and dragged Antonios out of anxiety, and Silos followed them.
