"I didn't know what 'the west of the Mediterranean' meant at first? But today, when the Turians came to me, I understood that the dream came true!" A brief introduction to the matter.
"Turii wants to hire us to fight the natives?" Kapus asked.
"Yes, I heard that the entire Greater Greece region is now threatened by indigenous people, and Turii is only the city-state that has suffered the most." Davos explained.
When everyone was still thinking about whether to accept the invitation, Antonios stood up and said, "But Persia is far away from us, and Turii is also far away from us. Going to Turii to fight is no different from Persian!"
Davers secretly cast an admiring look at Antonios, because he asked questions on the surface, but it was actually convenient for Davers to explain further. Davos said seriously: "We follow Sparta to fight against Persia. If we win, Sparta will profit, we only have a meager salary; if we defeat, we will fall on a foreign land, and even our souls will not be able to return. Hell. And going to Greater Greece is different—"
Davos looked around the crowd and said a little excitedly: "First of all, as I said just now, the salary Turiyi gave us is two Dalic gold coins per person per month, which is much more than what little Cyrus gave us back then. Second, the Greater Greece area is all Greeks like us, helping them fight on the land of the same race, we do not lack support, and we will also receive care and attention; Thirdly, Greater Greece is different from the barren mainland Greece, There are many rivers, fertile land, and every city-state is rich. Does anyone know how many people were in Athens in the time of Pericles?" Davos asked, but looked at Alexis, because this man from Megara The captain of the heavy infantry squadron studied in Athens for two years as a young man.
Sure enough, he did not live up to Davos' expectations, he thought for a moment and said, "About 300,000 people."
"Yes, 300,000, an astonishing number! But you know what? Syracuse in Greater Greece a few decades ago also had 300,000! And Turii, Crotone, Locri, Taran Tum, Ligium, Agrigento, etc. are all big city-states like Syracuse (the information Davos learned from Cristoia)! So what we are going to is not A remote and backward area, but a prosperous city, there are many opportunities waiting for us!" Davos highly praised the prosperity of Greater Greece.
"Leader Davos, what are you talking about? Defeat the Lu... Lucarians, get rich rewards, or something else?!" The clever Epithenes noticed the mystery in the words and asked.
"Good question! This is also the last and greatest benefit of going to Turii that I was about to say—" Davos raised a finger and said energetically: "The messenger said, 'Because Luca Large-scale invasion by the Nians and Brutians, and some small towns in Greater Greece, especially in southern Italy, were occupied by the natives. 'What does this mean for us?!'"
Davos turned his fingers into fists and waved them in the air: "It means that when we gain a firm foothold in Greater Greece and take back a small city, we will have the opportunity to become the masters of this city! We will no longer be looked down upon by others. Landless freemen, we are citizens of a city-state with land! We are no longer mercenaries who are at the mercy of others and cannot decide their own destiny, but the masters of the city-state! I think this is the mission that the 'Dreamers' told me Regardless of your decision, I have decided to go to Greater Greece and fulfill my mission!!"
The venue fell into a strange silence. There was only rapid breathing. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Davos' raised fist, full of extreme longing. For thousands of years, the Greeks of various city-states have fought each other for the barren land that is not large and full of gravel in Greece, isn't it just for the land! The Greeks became a seafaring nation, which is also the persecution of more people and less land! The mercenaries are running around for a living, aren't they helpless without roots! Now, with the hope of owning land in front of them, how could they not be maddened by surprises, lest the flame of hope be blown out!
In this moment of loneliness, it was Tspit who said weakly first: "But there are many strong natives there, and the people of Great Greece can't stop them, we—"
"We're not the rubbish of Great Greece! The Lucanians will never be stronger than the Duques and Cardans! If you're afraid, don't go!" Amyntas shouted disdainfully.
"Who said I wouldn't go! Chief Davos, since it is the mission given to you by Hades, even if I sacrifice my life, I will help you to complete it!" Tspit opened his palms and walked towards Davos extremely piously. A holy kneeling.
"Davos, I'm your strong shield, how could I go to Turii without me!" Hiros raised his right fist and stood up.
"And I, Amyntas, are your stab gun. It's not enough to have a shield without a spear!" Another fist was raised.
"Leader, please let me continue to help you handle military affairs, so that you have more time to think about how to win the war!" Felixius stood up.
"Leader, it's natural to go to Turiyi without my pioneer!" Antonios stood up.
"Boss, let me continue to take charge of the middle for you!" Caps also stood up.
"And I, Alexis, will always be your backup force at critical moments!" Another fist was raised high.
"How can we go to Turii without our light shield soldiers who can fight and cast!" Epithenis stood up with a smile.
"Davers, don't forget, you still lack an important transportation officer!" A chubby fist raised.
"My respected teacher, I will continue to study medical theory with you, so I will follow you wherever you go!" Helps stood up solemnly.
"I'm your herald, you can't leave me! Asisters hurriedly stood up.
…
Davos watched more than forty fists stretched straight to the sky, like a small forest rising up, ready to meet the baptism of the coming storm, he couldn't help his blood boil, and his right hand suddenly waved forward: " Brothers follow me and go to the west to find our 'Elysee Paradise'!"
… … … … …
After Davos got a warm response from the team officials, he discussed with them: let them keep the real purpose of going to Turii secret, otherwise they will be obstructed a lot.
Everyone immediately swore to the Underworld God.
Then, after letting them go back, Davos tried every means to persuade the soldiers to go. And let them go to other military camps secretly, and secretly persuade the soldiers to join. These veterans with rich combat experience have fought together before, and Davos does not want to give up.
Then, Davos took Marigi back to the military tent. Before he could speak, Marigi said, "I am willing to go to Turii with you."
Davos turned around and said with a smile, "You are very smart."
"Isn't that why you asked me to sit in?" Marigi said angrily, "If I don't agree, what will happen to you? Kill me?"
Davos shook his head and said, "I'll just tie your hands and feet, throw it into the cabin, and let you out when I get to Turii."
"Davos, I always thought you were a cultured, knowledgeable Greek who kept his promises, but I didn't expect you to be the same robber as them!" Marigi said through gritted teeth.
"Is this what a slave said to a master who had a life-saving grace?" Davos said, pretending to be surprised.
"Slave?" Marigi was shocked, with a look of misunderstanding Davos.
Note: Elysee Paradise (elyseeparadise): In Greek legends, after the death of human beings, the souls will be judged by the three judges of hell, and innocent people will be allowed to enter the Elysee Paradise, where it is beautiful and peaceful, and it still belongs to Hades. In the area in charge, it was once said that the Christian paradise was born out of the Elysee.
