Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Ketips took a look at the left and the right. He wanted to say something in his mouth, but when he looked at Matonis' face, he immediately shut his mouth consciously, knowing that he made the team leader Matonis anxious, he But he really punched people hard with his fists, and of course his short guard was also famous throughout the army.Ketips stubbornly lifted the tool and dug hard down the ground...

Matonis was too lazy to take care of him again. He lifted a wooden basket full of soil with one hand, stepped on a wooden ladder, and went up to the ground, pouring the soil on the earth barrier to be built in the trench.He observed that his team’s progress was pretty good, but looking at the situation of the Oliver team next to him, he was immediately anxious and stood by the trench and shouted, "Brothers, make every effort. Let’s fight for the first place this time. After completing this, you will get the reward promised by the leader! If anyone doesn’t do it seriously and drags their hind legs, I will never let him go, you know!!!"

"Roar!" The veterans howled, and most of the recruits responded weakly...

……………………………

"Boss, we will not only dig trenches, earth walls, and sentry towers, but also build wooden fences on the earth walls, and build walkways after the wooden fences. We will also dig pits and bury the tip before the trenches. Wooden stakes... The requirements of this camp are too complicated! And the amount of labor is much larger than before, and the soldiers are complaining, is this necessary?!" Yasister asked inexplicably.

While keeping an eye on the progress of the camp construction, Davers replied in the affirmative: "Of course it is necessary! Bulcos said that at least 10,000 soldiers attacked Turíi by the Lucanias last year! We are not like Turíi, With the protection of the tall and thick walls, can you resist the attack of the Lukalia if you don’t build a defensive camp?! When we are under siege by the Lukanians, will the Turuis come to rescue us mercenaries? ?!"

Yasistus shook his head.

"So it’s a bit tiring to build such a complex camp, but with it, the soldiers will feel at ease to rest and sleep inside, and the enemy will have no way to take us! And this camp is not for them to build in one day, you can It’s done in a few days.” Daveus saw Yaciste’s clear look, and then said, “Before, I didn’t ask you to gather the carpentry soldiers in the team and form an engineering battalion. Let They led the soldiers and fumbled to build the wooden fence, the sentry tower, and the walkway. With this experience, they can build the camp in the future, and they can handle it accordingly.

Yasisters said sincerely: "Boss, you are too thoughtful!"

Daveus smiled: This is just an effective method summarized by the Roman army in history through hundreds of years of war. He directly borrowed it and pushed it vigorously.It is hoped that the military tradition of the Roman legion "whoever builds a strong camp first" will become a habit of his own army.

"Chief, Philius is back." Asistes saw Philius coming from the north.

Daveus hurried up and asked, "How is it going?"

"Burcos is right, there is a small river about a dozen miles north, and there are forests on the other side of the river."

"Is it easy to cross the river?"

"The river is very shallow, but we found the Lukalia spies. According to the guide, it may be from the city of Amendora."

The news made Dafus ponder for a while, he said decisively: "Bulkes said that this is the only Lucanian force left in the north of Turui. I will give you 500 soldiers and One hundred strong slaves, you lead them to the mountain forest, let some of them cut down the wood, and the other is responsible for vigilance. If possible, look northward to the situation around the city of Amendora. "

"Ok."

……………………………

"Drakos and the other two leaders are standing and looking around on a large stone 100 meters away from Camp Davers.

"What do these guys want to do? Does a camp need to be so complicated?! Where is the camp building, which is clearly building the city! Do the Turiris allow them to do this?" a leader said ironically .

"Adrians, you have to admit that if such a complex camp is built, the Lukalia want to attack, I am afraid it will be very difficult! On the contrary, looking at our camp, it looks much simpler by comparison! Hearing the Turiris say that the Lukarias are gathering troops in Laos, and once they go south, I am afraid that it will be us who are the first to suffer! Should we consider rebuilding our camp?” another leader suggested.

"Sesta, you are not ignorant of the virtue of our soldiers. When you are asking for money, you are active. Once you let them work, they all steal and play!" Adrians said helplessly.

"Yeah, that's where I feel weird. They--" Sesta pointed at the soldiers who were doing the heat in the distance, and said curiously: "It's nothing like a mercenary, or even some city-state civic soldiers. They are not as good as they are, but they are a bit like the style of Sparta! But just listen to their accents, Cesari, Rhode Island, Thrace, Crete, Chersonis, Kaius... various Local accents are the same as ours! But why is the difference so big?"

"Don’t think about it. Although they fought with them, they didn’t mean anything to us, and they voluntarily asked to help us treat the wounded. Let’s not provoke them in the future. It’s a good thing to say that they are strong. Having them by our side Reassure!" Adrians finished with emotion, jumping off the stone: "Go away, don't stand here for long, let them think we have any attempts!"

Adrians felt the horror of this mercenary and couldn't help but want to stay away from them.

"I think we should still try it and let the soldiers re-enforce the defense of the camp!" Siesta also jumped down.

"Okay, go back and discuss with the soldiers." Adrians shrugged helplessly, walked a few steps, remembering something, and shouted back, "Drakos, go!"

Dracos grinned and his red swollen chin hurt when he moved it. He glanced deeply at Camp Davers and went with them.

Soon after returning to the camp, the wounded healed also came back. From their mouths, these mercenaries, mainly from Ionia and Asia Minor (because Burcos was recruited in Miletus at the time), learned that they had fought with them. It is a Greek mercenary who expeditions to Boss with Little Cyrus!You must know that after they arrived in the sea of ​​Yokexing, Dafus, when the merchant ships of the city states of Yokexing went to the mainland of Greece to do business with Asia Minor and Ionia, the merchants and sailors used the Greek mercenaries in Persia in the chat of the tavern. Fragments of battle were spread through exaggeration and rendering, making Davis their reputation when they were still marching along the shores of the Eukers Sea.After understanding their plight, many mercenaries admired their experience and regarded them as heroes. After all, Greek troops have never reached the hinterland of Persia so far.

Now that the group of people who beat them was part of the Persian Expeditionary Force, the grievances of the mercenaries not only disappeared, but also heartily sighed: No wonder the fighting is so powerful, it turned out to be the Greek mercenaries who returned from the Persian expedition, and they are now Right beside us!

The soldiers who could not suppress the surprise, regardless of the obstruction of the leaders, rushed out of the camp and ran to Camp Davers, wanting to hear their heroes talk about their experiences in Persia...
