Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At this moment, thunderous cheers sounded: "Daveus! Daveus!!! Daveus!!!!!!" The shout was so neat and loud that it overwhelmed all the noise and made several leaders Can't help but change color.

"That's Mennon's mercenaries!" Tima Song stood on tiptoe in the direction of the voice.

"It should be called the mercenary of Daveus now!" Hironimos said enviously.

On the stage, Daphes smiled, and he said, "I am the warrior of Greece. I am Davis of Thessaly, replacing Menon and becoming the new leader!"

After the soldiers on the stage finished speaking, the soldiers of the Davis Barracks stood up immediately, applauded and cheered him, and made other soldiers look at each other: Are these guys crazy?!

Some people who know the inside story begin to tease the news in front of their companions: "I heard that this young man is a goddess of Hades. Every time I get the "oracle", it is very effective!"

"I heard that he will also rescue the dying soldier miraculously. Yes! It is the one standing behind him!"

"He also invented something useful to us! Like this one on my lap... um legging..."

The soldiers passed on word of mouth.In a blink of an eye, everyone looked at him with less contempt and more curiosity.

Daveus’s words spread to their ears again: “Just now, Kerry Thorps’ words were very exciting, but they were too short! Just like when men and women did that, when women started to get excited, men ended. Now, how uncomfortable should that woman be!"

The soldiers under the stage didn't expect such a vulgar word to be spoken in the mouth of this still naive young man. For a moment, they burst into laughter: "Ha ha ha..."

Many people also took the opportunity to make a frivolous boos...

"This young man is very interesting!" Many soldiers nodded and said with a smile.

"Nonsense! It's too chaotic!" Tima Song looked at the guest Lithops and scolded.

Xenophon was also surprised. The Daphus he knew was a young man with unique insight and polite speech, which should not be so rude.

Kleethorpes didn't speak, although Daveus was mocking him, he was not angry. Kleethorpes, who had lived in the barracks before the age of thirty, knew the soldiers' thoughts well, he didn't know that Daveus was wrong It was still the intention to hit it by mistake. In short, this indecent joke has made the soldiers feel kind to this too young leader.It also made Kerry Thorps look forward to the next speech.

"When I came up just now, I saw your heads down, and some people even had tears in their eyes. You are afraid! You are afraid that you cannot return to Greece! You are afraid! Fear that the Persians will destroy you!-But, you If you think about it, when we were in the hinterland of Persia, our employer, Cyrus, was killed, and when we did not know what to do, the Persians, who had more soldiers than us, did not immediately attack us and destroy us! They How did it do it?" Davers slowly aroused the soldiers' interest with questions.

"Everyone here knows clearly. The Persians spent energy to negotiate with us, provided us with rich food, and walked us so far... they spent so much time, money and energy to cheat. Our chiefs were fooled and killed by them!" Daveus said slowly, then he paused and asked aloud: "Soldiers, tell me! Who the hell are you?! Fear?!-Persian People! They are more afraid than us! They are afraid of our bravery! They dare not fight us directly! They are cowardly and only dare to use these conspiracies quietly! They are afraid of us more than their gods, so that they violate the gods A vow made!

Now they have killed our leader. When we are chaotic, we dare not attack us immediately, thinking of letting us surrender!Faced with such a timid Persian, what are you afraid of!Know that we Greeks are not afraid of any threatening race!——A few decades ago, King Darius of Persia led the army and conquered all the races in this land.When he points the next target to conquer the Greek city-states across the strait, soldiers, please tell me, has Greece surrendered?!"Divers leaned forward, straightened his right hand, and asked loudly to the soldiers under the stage."

"No." Some people answered one after another.

"It's too quiet, I can't hear it! Please tell me that Greece has surrendered?!!!" Daphus asked, increasing the volume.

"No!" The answer was neat this time.

Daveus was still dissatisfied: "The voice is as small as a timid Persian! Again, did Greece surrender?!!!"

"No-there is!!!" the soldiers shouted, their emotions had begun to be mobilized.

"Yes! We Greeks did not succumb! At the marathon, the Athenians beat the Persian army with fewer victories, Darius rolled back to his old nest, and died of illness within a few years. His son Xerxes Revenge, gathering an unprecedented army, and invading Greece again. However, we Greeks never succumb to power!

Soldiers, tell me, where did we beat the Persians?!"

This time no need to guide Daphus, the soldiers enthusiastically spoke: "Salamis!"

"Platia!"

"There is also a hot spring pass!"

...

Daveus took the conversation: "Yes, the Greek people united and defeated the Persians again, so that Greece became a fertile ground for freedom, with peace and prosperity for decades to come. Soldiers, who of you can tell me some Was the name of the generals and soldiers who participated in the battle against Persia?"

"Mita Yard!"

"Aesculos!"

"Philipbordes!"

"Leonida!"

"Dimi Stockley!"

"Aristide!"

"Paul Sania!"

...

The names were screamed out by the soldiers, and they were originally the names of the generals, and later the names of the soldiers who participated in the war... The Hippo War only passed for about eighty years, which almost affected the entire Greek world. The memory is still fresh. Even many of the soldiers present were descendants of those who participated in the war. They can’t wait to make their ancestors’ names proud and public. among them.The atmosphere of the whole venue began to boil...

Tima Song couldn't help but widen his eyes and realized that he underestimated the young man.

It took a long time for the cry from all directions to weaken...

Daphes continued to say with passion: "These names in your mouth were written by Herodotus into history and into your memory! They became heroes of Greece! Their spirits are as immortal as the gods! We grew up listening to their stories. When we grew up, we followed them as an example, eager to complete the earth-shattering achievements like them! Now-soldiers, you have a chance, an excellent performance They also have the opportunity to become Greek heroes and write into history!" Speaking of which, Davers paused again.

The eager soldiers stood up and could not wait to ask: "Tell us! What is the opportunity?"

"Did you not find it!" Daveus said loudly: "Although our ancestors defeated the Persians, they were either on the mainland of Greece or on the sea. No Greek army could ever penetrate the territory of the Persian Empire. And we have already Going into the hinterland of Persia, as long as we work together to defeat the Persians, overcome all difficulties, and finally return to Greece, then we have created history! Our deeds will be written into books, composed into songs, sung throughout Greece, beautiful Girls and cute children will haunt us and let us tell our adventures! Our children and grandchildren will be as proud of us as we are today! More importantly—"

Daveus took a deep breath and said excitedly: "Our deeds will inspire the Greeks in the future! Let them know that the Persians look strong, but in fact they are weak internally. They are just giants made of mud. The country is like a human In the same way, there are times when we are strong and when we are aging. When one day, when Persia and Greece fight again, the Greeks will follow our example and enter Persia along the route we have traveled. When they win, they come to We used to spit blood on the battlefield. When they sacrificed and praised us, what would they say?"

The soldiers listened intoxicated.
