Mersis leaned over and said in a low voice, "Davos, the Persian family you sent to the baggage camp last time, according to your request, I took good care of them!"
"Really?" Davos looked at him with a half-smile: "How should I thank you?"
"You are the leader, this is my duty." Mersis sneered, got closer, and said in a lower voice: "In addition, Menon has nearly two Tarrant silver property in the baggage. The camp kept…”
Two tarantos were the equivalent of sixty-five kilograms of silver, which was a lot of money, and Menon really made a lot of money. But for Davos, who had not been reborn for a long time, he didn't have a deep concept of Greek coins, so he didn't seem very surprised. He thought about it seriously and said, "Does Menon have any immediate family?"
Mersis kept looking at Davos and saw that he was not at all strange. Hearing this again, he immediately understood Davos' intention, and he admired a little more in his heart, and hurriedly said, "No."
"Have you ever had a will?"
"No. He never thought he would die so early."
Davos pondered for a while, and said with a sigh: "Menon founded this barracks, and he has put in a lot of effort for this barracks, so let's use this money for the development of our barracks."
"Davos, you are really impartial and selfless!" Mersis complimented loudly, then rubbed his hands and asked carefully, "You counted the number so quickly just now, did Hades give you any inspiration?"
Davos had already seen that there was something in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be for this: "Of course there is!"
"Can you teach me?" Mersis begged.
Davos was surprised that although this fat man was also of age, he still had such a strong thirst for knowledge, and couldn't help but admire: "Of course there is no problem."
"Great! Davos, you are the best leader!" Mersis couldn't help hugging Davos, Davos froze all over, the ancient Greek tradition of homosexuality made him over-contact with the body always A little wary, but soon he found himself thinking too much, and Mersis was just expressing his gratitude to him. Undoubtedly, this fat man has also become his firm supporter.
… … … … …
After all the arrangements were made, it was past noon. Davos thought he should be late, but when he and Felixius arrived at the commanding tent of the mercenaries, they found that only Kerisopes was the only one. In the tent with Tima Song.
When Kerisopes saw two people, one of the young men was the same one he had seen at the rally earlier, his brows immediately frowned, and he said in a deep voice, "You are mercenaries from Menon, right? Who is the leader elected by your barracks?" As he spoke, his eyes naturally turned to Felixius.
Before Davos could speak, Felixius turned to one side, pointed his left hand to Davos, and said solemnly, "All our soldiers unanimously elected Davos as the new leader of our barracks!"
Kerethorpes and Timasone's eyes widened in shock. After a long while, the two of them looked at each other, and then Tima Song loudly questioned: "We are about to start a war with the Persians, everyone must do their best, and you want to drag us down by electing a child who has not yet grown up in your military camp. Do you! Do you know that war is killing people, and many people will die!!"
Timasson's last words were addressed to Davos, which was obviously meant to intimidate.
Facing Tima Song, who had a somewhat ferocious face, Davos responded without showing weakness: "When the fight starts, who will be dragged and who will not know! Fighting the Persians, just relying on brute force is not enough! Back then, I went to Where were you when you stopped Clearkus and Menon! If they had followed my advice, they wouldn't be in such a bad situation today!"
"Of course I also... got in the way..." Timasone had been feeling guilty about the capture of Clearkus, so he was distracted by Davos's topic and answered with insufficient confidence.
"Everyone in our barracks believes that Davos is the best candidate for the leader, and no one objected! And I was entrusted as an adjutant to assist the leader of Davos in managing military affairs." Felixius emphasized again loudly. As an old mercenary, he knew what Kerethorpes and Timasone were worried about and what they were trying to do.
Kerisopes looked at Felixus again: "Who is this?"
"Philicius, Menon's adjutant, the actual commander of his barracks..." Timasson said in a strange tone beside Kerisopes.
"Oh..." Kerethorpes looked knowingly. Davers could guess what they were thinking, but he didn't want to argue, time would tell.
"Other camps are still electing fiercely, but you are choosing very quickly." Kerethorpes finally stood up and said slightly teasingly.
Davos immediately responded: "At this critical juncture, it is better for the entire army to have a unified ideology than to act independently!"
Kerisopes was stunned: this young new leader doesn't understand other abilities, at least his eloquence is not weak. He saluted reluctantly and said, "You are welcome."
Davos saluted back: "I'm very happy to fight with you!"
For a time, the account was speechless.
Ten minutes later, Zantiparis came in, and he replaced Socrates as the new leader.
Then, Crianno replaced Achilles as the new leader.
The last to come in was Hieronymus, who squeezed out Agarcia and replaced Proxinus as the new leader. With him was Xenophon, an acquaintance of Davos, who became Hieronymus' adjutant.
Everyone expressed surprise at Davos' age. Fortunately, it was already afternoon and the time was pressing.
As soon as they arrived, Clethorpes said immediately: "Everyone, let's first decide on the retreat route back to Greece. My opinion is to follow the original route, along the Tigris River, enter Armenia, and reach the Eokes Sea. , and then take the boat back to Ioria…”
"This is the route that Tisafonis arranged for us. It was originally a conspiracy! I heard that there are many savage races in the north that even the Persians have a headache, and they are a huge threat to us!" Zantiparis objected .
"Then what's your advice? Go west?! Not to mention the longer road, the more important thing is that we are now in a state of war with Persia, and the danger of staying on Persian soil for one more day is one more day, Persians. We can mobilize more soldiers to besiege us at any time! Since the north is a headache for the Persians, it just shows that their rule over the north is not strong, and this is our chance! Those barbarians have no hatred with us, let alone us There is also a common enemy - Persia!..." Timasson talked eloquently, obviously he had communicated with Chrysopus before.
Sure enough, we still have to go north! Davos saw Zantiparis showing the same approval as everyone else.
"Let's vote everyone. Raise your hand if you agree to go north!" Kerethorpes said.
All unanimously approved.
Chilisops added: "In order to concentrate our soldiers to fight the Persians and prevent them from being attacked because of the dispersal of the troops, I suggest that the small mercenary battalions such as Sothis and Pasion be merged with us. Of course, It's up to both parties to come together voluntarily."
"How to distribute the military rations when they are combined? How to distribute the goods collected by each other in the past?" Hieronymus asked seriously.
"It has already been said that it is voluntary. If he is willing to join your military camp, you can discuss it in private." Tima Song said impatiently.
Merge other small military camps? ! Davos was a little moved. After all, the more troops there were, the better the chances of the barracks surviving in battle.
"Since everyone agrees, we will announce this at the general meeting. In addition, there is a more important question, in a state where we will be attacked by the Persians at any time, what kind of formation will we march in to maximize the Is it possible to ensure our safety?" Kerisopes looked around at everyone, and before everyone could answer, he took out a wooden stick and gestured on the ground: "My suggestion is to move forward in a large square formation, that is, two mercenaries take the lead. The troops guide the entire army, with a mercenary on the left and right to protect the flanks, and two mercenaries as the rear guard, and in the middle are our baggage units and non-combatants... What do you think?"
