Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"That's because there is only one small dock!" Burkes was so angry that his chest was ups and downs. Just now he was aware that after he had finished the market, he finally understood: The reason why the types of trading here are so complete is not the need of mercenaries, but the needs of businessmen and surrounding residents. The Krati River is wider. After all, it is not as wide as the sea. When there are too many merchant ships, it takes time to enter the port of Turui, and the transaction will be taxed after entering the market. Now, the mercenary has built a market directly near the coast. Once the ship arrives at the dock on the coast, it can unload the goods. When entering the market, as long as one Opel (there is no equal), there is no tax, as for the buyer, Turui is not far away, a large number of sailors, fishermen, etc. They are mainly free people, not Turri citizens, willing to take a few more steps to buy goods that are cheaper than in the Turif market ( Because it is not taxable, it is cheap), not to mention the merchants of the city-states attracted by the exotic customs of the mercenary sales objects.

Looking at Mariji's head down and a criticized look, Burkes was angry and difficult to say, but he didn't want to say more: "Oh, I will go to Daves with this matter! You can't do the Lord, You are just a Persian slave."

When Mariji heard it, he trembled and almost screamed: You are a Persian slave! Your family is a Persian slave! Do you have any eyesight in this Greek barbarian! I am a royal businessman who has been a royal family in Persia!!

Fortunately, he finally resisted, but did not want to talk more, and fell behind them in Burkes.

When approaching the West Gate of the market, Burkes found that it used a half-man-high earthen wall to separate an area with a large shack built of wood. Compared to the noisy stalls in front, it was quieter, but the entrance was quiet. Long queues...

"This is..." Burkes asked doubtfully.

In spite of his heart and heart, Mariji had to explain: "This is a clinic. The doctors in our barracks followed Longevs’s leader for long-term study, and they were highly skilled. Many long-term sick Turui people passed their The treatment has improved, so it is very popular now. It is often at dusk, the market is closing, and the patients are still not willing to leave."

"There is such a powerful?!" Burkes was a little shocked. Moras whispered in his ear: "Master, the old lady's illness can come here to see if they really have a cure."

Looking at the "long dragon" in front of the shack, Burkes nodded and suddenly remembered something and asked: "You said that these doctors are studying medicine with Davers? Davers will see a doctor?!"

"That is of course! The leader is given the help of Hades, and of course the understanding of the mystery of the disease that can bring death." Mariji proudly said.

Burkes was undecided, out of the market, and after bidding farewell to Mariji, Moras asked: "Master, is there anyone in the world who is good at commanding war, good at doing business, and optimistic about illness?"

"Dave isn't it? He is still the **** of Hades." Burkes said indifferently.

Going a few hundred meters to the west, Dafos’s camp is in sight. It’s not so much a camp, it’s better to say that the camp is more accurate: a three-meter-wide, three-meter-deep trench, and a three-meter-high barrier. A two-meter-high wooden grille is used as a shield. Sentinel patrols can be seen behind the wooden walls, so it can be judged that there are walkways on the wooden walls. There are a number of outposts in the wall, which are six meters high and can overlook the blind corners under the trenches and wooden walls. The exit in the middle of the wooden wall is fitted with a wooden door, and there is also a simple tower above it...

Burgos and Moras carefully walked along the straight road in front of the camp, because there were several big wooden signs in the roadside: "There are traps, please take the avenue!"

Moras, while observing the faint reflection of the metallic luster in the half-high grass of the road, guessed what traps might be there, and sighed and said: "Master, our defensive facilities in Turui are not as complicated as here. ”

Burkes is a bit gloomy. He has been worried about a problem: the mercenary built it like a city. What do the Crotones think when they see it?

The guards at Yingmen asked the two people to come and immediately sent people to report.

Soon, Assisi came out and led the two in.

The waste grass and waste rock in the camp were cleaned up and the ground was smooth and clean. At the back of the wooden wall, the wooden walkway was laid so that the wooden wall beyond the walkway could block the chest part of the soldier. There were several wide woods. The ladder can go up to the aisle. The tents are also neatly arranged. There is a wide open space between the tent and the wooden wall. There is a wide passage between the four or five tents. The passage leads directly to the center of the camp. The center of the camp actually has a circular wooden grille.

Seeing Burkes’s doubts, Asistus explained: “The inside is usually a camp for heavy camps and medical camps, as well as the heads and team officers. When fighting, once the periphery is attacked by the enemy, we can retreat inside. , continue to defend."

"This is really the most complicated and considered military camp I have ever seen!" Even though there are some opinions on the mercenary, Burgos can't help but sigh at this moment.

Assisi smiled and said: "The Daves leader said that this is still the most basic camp construction, more complicated, we still can't use it now. He said that 'the war has never been unbeaten, A sturdy camp can provide protection for soldiers when they fail, reduce casualties, and rebuild morale. So even if you have to work hard, be patient and careful to build it, sweat more often, and less blood in wartime... ”

"It's usually sweating, it's less **** in war..." Burkes whispered these two words, and he suddenly realized that he was about to see a mercenary leader with extensive experience in war, Turui. The generals did not discuss with Davis, they planned ahead and asked him to follow the instructions. Is this appropriate?

At this moment, Moras asked with doubt: "Why? Only a few soldiers are seen in the camp?"

“The brothers are all participating in the ‘ tug-of-war’ competition.”

"Turking?" The two were curious when they heard the strange words.

In fact, there was a huge shout in front of him. Ascends simply took them, bypassing the central ring-shaped wooden grille, and walked forward into a wide field, showing people in front of them. Thousands of soldiers were surrounded by five or six large circles. All the soldiers looked flushed and excited, and shouted in the circle.

"One team of two teams cheers!"

"Five team four team cheers!"

"Come on! Come on! Add more strength!"

"Oh, oh~www.wuxiaspot.com~win!!"

......

Such a hot and exciting scene, Burkes only saw it at the sports meeting. Now he has not seen the real scene, and he has already been excited.

Assisi saw the thoughts of both of them, and they squeezed into a circle, let them go in and watched, and they went to call the leader first.

On the ground in the center of the circle is a rope with a length of forty meters. It should be composed of several marine ropes, which are full of fists.

At this time, a person in the central open space called: "The next round, the second team three squad VS seventh team one team, please both sides to enter!"

Soon, more than a hundred strong men entered the circle. After the person confirmed the number and name, he said, "Please prepare for both parties."

So the two sides picked up the ropes.

Burkes found that a red rope was tied in the middle of the rope. The rope was hung with a heavy object, pointing to a white line on the ground, and there was a white line on each side of the white line.

The person who was considered a similar referee by Burkes announced loudly: "The game begins!"

The 100 strong men of both sides tried their best to pull the ropes to their own side. The cheering around and the sound of cheering also sounded like a tsunami...

Just look at the red rope to the left for a while, to the right for a while, constantly swinging back and forth... For a while, only to move to the left side greatly... The cheering sound reached its peak.

Finally, the red rope reached the white line on the left.

The referee waved: the game is over!

Cheers and sighs sound at the same time...

The Burks were looking at it with relish, and Assisi found them, and they reluctantly left.
