Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Just then, thunderous cheers sounded: "Davers! Davers!! Daves!!!..." The shouts were so neat and loud, overwhelming all the noisy, so that several leaders Can not help but change color.

"That is the mercenary of Menon!" Tima Song looked at the direction of the voice.

"Now should be the mercenary of Daves!" said Hironimos enviously.

Davers on the stage smiled, and he said: "Greek warriors, I am Dyves of Sesali, instead of Menon, become the new leader!"

When the soldiers on the stage were finished, the soldiers at the Duffus Barracks immediately stood up and applauded him, making other soldiers look like each other: Are these guys crazy? !

Some people who know the inside story began to show off in front of their companions: "I heard that this young man is the **** of Hades, and every time he gets the 'God' is very incomparable!"

"I heard that he will magically save the dying soldier. Yes! That is the one standing behind him!"

"He also invented something that is very useful to us! For example, this on my leg... um leggings..."

The soldiers passed by word of mouth. In a blink of an eye, everyone looked at his eyes and lost a little contempt, but more curious.

The words of Daphus came to their ears again: "Just, the words of the guest Sophos are very exciting, but they are too short! Just like men and women do things, women just start to get excited, men end Now, how uncomfortable the woman is!"

The soldiers in the audience didn't expect to spit out such vulgar words in the mouth of this young child. After a moment, they burst into laughter: "Ha ha ha..."

Many people also took the opportunity to make awkward buzz...

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

"Nonsense! It’s too messy!" Tima Song looked at the guest Thorpe and snorted.

Xenophon is also very surprised. The Daves he knows is a young man with unique knowledge and politeness. It should not be so rude.

Guest Thorpeth didn't talk, even though Davers was taking him to ridicule him, he was not angry. Sophos, who had been living in the military camp before the age of 30, knew the soldiers well. He didn't know that Davers was wrong. It’s still intentional to make a mistake. In short, this sloppy joke has made the soldiers feel intimate with this too young leader. Also let the customer Thorpes look forward to the next speech.

"When I came up, I saw you all downcast, and some people even had tears in their eyes. You are afraid! I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Greece! You are afraid! The fear of the Persians will destroy you! - But, you Think about it, when we were in the hinterland of Persia, our employer, Little Cyrus, was killed. When we didn't know what to do, the Persians who had more than our majority of soldiers did not attack us immediately, destroying them! How did it do it?” Daphus slowly raised the interest of the soldiers with questions.

"Everyone in the room is very clear. The Persians spend their energy to talk with us and provide us with a wealth of food. We have traveled so far with us... They spent so much time, money and energy to deceive. Our lord was fooled and killed by them!” Daves said slowly, then he paused and asked aloud: “Soldiers, tell me! Who is afraid?! Are you afraid?! – Persian People! They are more afraid than us! They are afraid of our bravery! They dare not kill us with their faces! They are weak and only dare to use these plots quietly! They fear that we are more afraid of their gods, so that they are against the gods. Make an oath!

Now they have killed our leader. When we are in chaos, we dare not attack us immediately. We also want to let us surrender! In the face of such a timid Persian, what are the fears of everyone here! Be aware that our Greeks are not afraid of any threatening race! - A few decades ago, the Persian king Darius led the army and conquered all the races in the land. When he pointed the target of the next conquest to the Greek city-states that were still weak across the strait, the soldiers, please tell me, did Greece surrender? ! Daves leaned forward and straightened his right hand, asking loudly to the soldiers under the stage.

"No." Someone answered in succession.

"Too small, I can't hear it! Please tell me if Greece surrendered?!!" Daves asked loudly.

"No!" The answer was very neat.

Davers is still not satisfied: "The voice is as small as a timid Persian! Once again, did Greece surrender?!!"

“No—Yes!!!” the soldiers shouted, their emotions began to be mobilized.

"Yes! We Greeks did not give in! In the marathon, the Athenians beat the Persian army with a small win, and Darius rolled back to his nest, and died in a few years. His son Xerxes Revenge, bringing together an unprecedented army and invading Greece again. However, we Greeks never give in under power!

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

This time, Davos is not required to guide again. The soldiers are eager to speak: "Salamis!"

"Platia!"

"There is still a hot spring!"

......

Davers took the remark: "Yes, the Greek people are united and defeated the Persians again, making Greece a fertile ground for freedom. There will be peace and prosperity for decades to come. Soldiers, can you tell me some? Did you participate in the battle against the Persian warlords and soldiers in the same year?!"

"Mitai Yade!"

"Aeschylus!"

"Filipods!"

"Leonida!"

"Mimitokeley!"

"Aristide!"

"Paulania!"

......

The names were shouted out by the soldiers. They started as the name of the official and later the name of the soldiers who participated in the war... The Hippo war only passed for about eighty years, almost spreading to the entire Greek world, and the mercenaries applied to it. The memory is still fresh, and even many of the soldiers present are still descendants of the war fighters. They can't wait to make their ancestors' names proud and public. Even the leaders of Zantitipis, Kryano and Hieronymus can't help but participate. among them. The atmosphere of the entire venue began to boil...

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

For a long time, the shouts in all directions have weakened...

Davers continued to say with enthusiasm: "The names in your mouth, they were written by Herodotus in history ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ written into your memory! They became Greek heroes! Their spirit As immortal as the gods! We grew up listening to their stories. When we grew up, we used them as role models, eager to accomplish the earth-shattering achievements like them! Now - the soldiers have a chance, A great opportunity to be a Greek hero and write history like them!" Daves paused again.

The eager soldiers stood up and couldn’t wait to ask: "Tell us! What is the chance?!"

"Don't you find out!" Daphus said loudly: "Our ancestors defeated the Persians, but not in Greece, or at sea. There has never been a Greek army that can penetrate the Persian Empire. And we have Going deep into the hinterland of Persia, as long as we work together to defeat the Persians, overcome difficulties, and finally return to Greece, then we have created history! Our deeds will be written into books, compiled into songs, sung throughout Greece, beautiful Girls and cute children will wrap us around and tell us about our adventures! Our children and grandchildren will be proud of us like we are today! More importantly -"

Daves took a deep breath and said with excitement: "Our deeds will inspire the future Greeks! Let them know that the Persians look strong, but the inside is weak. They are just a giant of clay. The country is like a human being. Similarly, when there is strong time, there is also time for aging. When one day, when Persia and Greece start fighting again, the Greeks will use our example to follow the route we have traveled into Persia. When they win, they come. When we used to slay the **** battlefield, sacrifice us and praise us, what would they say?!"

The soldiers were fascinated.
