Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Daveus looked intently and saw a middle-aged man outside the tent. He was of medium build and had a friendly face.

This middle-aged man is also looking at Daveus.Although he had heard some rumors about the mercenary leader before, he was surprised to see him when he met him.However, Daves at this time was a bit different from the one he had in the Battle of Kent River six months ago. Not only was there a stubble on his chin, there was a scar on his face, but also the hardship and bloody along the way Fighting, let him have more vicissitudes and murderous, eyes sharper and more compelling.

"Tului citizen Burcos said hello to the leader of Davos!" The middle-aged man stepped forward to salute Davos.

"Turii?" Daveus was a little ignorant. His previous life was not a history major. He knew nothing about the city-state's terminology, and the body's uneducated remnant memory could not help a little.

At this time, Christosia saw his confusion and explained softly: "The city of Turri is located west of the Gulf of Taranto in Greater Greece and is the youngest Greek colonial city in southern Italy. Subarris After being destroyed twice by Crotone, the Subaris who lost their homeland turned to Athens for help. At the time, it was Pericles who served as the chief general of Athens. He responded to the request of the Subaris and decided to A new pan-Greek city-state was built on the old site of Subaris, so he called out to all Greek city-states, including Miletus, and some people also immigrated there. This is the origin of Turri..."

"Madam, you are right. I pay tribute to your profound knowledge!" Although he was surprised that the woman appeared in an important meeting place, Burkos behaved politely.

"Subarris... Subaris..." Davos felt the term somewhat familiar, and after a few silent remarks, he suddenly remembered: "Oh, isn't the civic life there very luxurious, even using war horses? After training and dancing, the result was that Subarris, who was defeated by Crotone with music?!"

"Yes." Burcos looked at Davies' excitement, wondering if his ability was as magical as the rumor.

The reason why Daphes remembers this story is that the history of the death of Xu Baris's luxury life has become a fable story of the West in the previous life, and this story is also related to the famous Greek mathematician Pythagoras.Italy!...Deverus thought for a moment, and suddenly his interest increased greatly: "What are you doing for me?"

Burcos was nervous, and at first he was full of confidence, but the rejection of several leaders led him to suffer a little, and Daveus was his last hope: "Turii is suffering from the aggression of the indigenous people, so I think Hire you and your soldiers to help us and repel these indigenous people."

Daphes and Christoia glanced at each other.

Burcos continued: "Of course, we will pay you a generous salary!"

"How much can you pay?" Daveus leaned forward and asked with interest.

Burcos felt hopeful and immediately shook his spirit: "One soldier a month and one Dalik gold coin!"

Daveus said something, but sat back.

"Oh, I remembered correctly. It should be one and a half... Ah, no! No! It should be two, two Dalik coins!..." Burkos saw Davies always expressionless, and his words shivered a little. .

"What's the big deal with Turui, making you so anxious?!" Davers suddenly smiled.

Burkes heard: broken, he underestimated the young man, and at the same time worried about the success of the employment, the young man showed his feet under the temptation of quietly.

"Burcos, if you want me to cooperate with Turui, then it's best to tell me the truth!" Daveus said in an irresistible tone.

But Burkos heard a little hope, so he adjusted his emotions and said heavily: "Italian indigenous Lucanias invaded Turri's territory. After discussion, the Turrii Civic Assembly unanimously decided to send troops to repel Lu. The Caglias. So, we sent 10,000 heavy infantry and 1,000 cavalry, and they were defeated... The brutal Lucanias wantonly slaughtered our soldiers and cut their bodies into pieces , Piled outside the city...less than three hundred citizens ran back to the city...When I set off, the indigenous people had not yet attacked the city, but they had already occupied the city of Amendora in the north of Turri. The citizens of Turui caused considerable panic...now their hopes are on me! So...so..." As he said, Burcos shed tears.

Davis, who has seen too many tragedies in the past year, is already a hard-hearted man. He knows nothing about Burcos’s sadness, but asks in surprise: "So many soldiers are Turri Citizens?"

"Yes, Turriy is one of the most prosperous city-states in Greater Greece!" Burcos wiped his tears and said with a little pride.

"The strength of 11,000 people also failed. Is the Lucaria strong?" Daves continued to ask curiously.

"No, it seems that there are only eight thousand people in Lukalia." Burcos was afraid that Davos was frightened, so he had to say: "It's just...just inside Turri...um...um...main Is there no good commander, too aggressive, caught in ambush..."

"Oh, that's it." Dave Smoo leaned on the stubble on his chin and asked again: "Why don't you ask for help from other city-states?"

"We have a defensive alliance in the southern Italian Greek city-state, but for no reason in recent years, the indigenous people have begun to invade the territory of the city-states, Tarantum, Lockley... and Crotone have no excess. Power supports us, and Syracuse is also facing the attack of the Carthaginians...I also asked the Spartans for help, but Sparta seems to be dealing with Persia and refused my request, but agreed Help me hire soldiers in Greece..." Burcos said helplessly.

"Now there is no shortage of soldiers in the whole of Greece, why do you find us?" Davers asked again.

Burcos immediately complimented and said, "I had recruited some soldiers in Ephesus, but I heard of you! I think I can safely retreat back in the hinterland of the Persians, and your bravery and strength have been the most powerful. Prove that if you can hire you with rich combat experience, then it must be no problem to repel the Lukalia! So when I heard the merchant ship anchored in Ephesus speaking of seeing you in Crisopolis, I hurried over immediately, and I didn’t expect you to be in Byzantium again."

Burkos’ compliments did not affect Davos’ thinking. He nodded and continued to ask: "Is the Lucaria strong? What kind of arms do they have? How about their equipment? What are their combat characteristics? of?……"

Question after question is like hitting the nails of Burkos's brain with iron nails.Burcos was able to deal with it easily at first, but later it was very difficult, because Daveus had already asked some complicated questions: How big is the territory of Lucania?How many cities are there?What do you mainly live on?What about the political system?How is the foreign exchange?...

Burkes was struggling to answer Davos’ questions, but was surprised that a mercenary leader could ask such deep questions. After feeling that Davos was different, his confidence also increased, because he only wanted to Those who want to go will want to know the situation in detail.

"The situation is roughly clear to me." Daveus said, and Burcos breathed out: it was several times harder than answering citizens' questions at the Civic Assembly!

"I think Timmasong, Zantiparis and Kriano all rejected you, didn't they?" said Daphes.

Burcos looked at him in surprise again.

"My barracks is at the end, you have to pass them before you can come to me. As far as I know, Timmasong wants to return to Eurea, his hometown. Zanteipris and Kriano are He was invited by a high salary from Saeth, a tribal leader of Thrace, to prepare to play for him. Xenophon is now with Anaxisi, I am your only chance, isn't it?"

Davis's savvy has made Burcos no longer want to hide anything, he said frankly: "Yes, Chief Davos, you are my only chance! So do you refuse or agree?"
