When Cornelus was led into the Senate by the soldiers, he was both excited and apprehensive.
Since Amendolara was occupied by the Lucanians, the life of Cornerus in the past six months has been like hell: during the day, under the watch of the Lucanians, she grazes cattle and sheep, chops down trees, carries supplies, and a little bit. Slacking off, he was abused at light, sticks at worst, and even not given food; at night, he was imprisoned with others in the temple of Zeus. Although the temple was large, thousands of people were crowded together, eating, drinking and lhasa. Inside, the air is filthy, the space is small, and children are often noisy, adults are crying, and they cannot sleep peacefully all night, so one can imagine the harsh environment. The body is weak, and people continue to fall ill and die.
During the long detention, Cornelus, like everyone else, was exhausted in both physical and mental resistance. He accepted his fate and felt that he would live numbly like this until he quietly returned to hell...
But yesterday, they were urgently gathered to prepare the pack car and load the items, and they were busy until the night. Even the ferocious Lucarians did it themselves. From their panicked expressions, Cornelus felt something.
Sure enough, the Lucanian-speaking people quietly told them that he overheard the content of the Lucanian conversation, saying "...Grummentum's army was wiped out by some Greek mercenary", " Those Greeks are murderous beasts, terrible..." and so on.
This news cheered the people of Amendolara. They saw the hope of getting out of trouble, so that in the middle of the night, many people tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and then they heard the faint sound of fighting...
What happened? ! ! The sensitive people of Amendorara got up one after another, came to the gate of the temple, and looked out through the crack of the door: Lucania's guards panicked and shouted in panic to each other, so that the people in the temple could hear clearly: " The Greeks have attacked the city!"
The people were extremely excited, and the always decisive Archon Glat Buffalo saw the guards leave one after another, as if to reinforce the enemy fighting under the mountain, and immediately organized the citizens to counterattack. The people of Amendolara, who hated the Lucarians deeply, slammed open the gate together, rushed forward, and used stones and fists to knock down the few Lucania guards who were left with no fighting spirit.
The people had just left the temple, but unexpectedly they encountered the Lucania who returned to help (actually, the Lucania warriors were completely unable to resist the attack of the mercenaries, and Vespa thought of being imprisoned in the gods in a hurry. The more than 1,000 Greek people in the temple might be able to serve as hostages in exchange for the survival of their own tribe), the unarmed and frail people of Amendolara were of course not the opponents of the Lucalia warriors, but they had just broken through the cage, Another reinforcement was coming, and the Amendolaras, full of anger and hope, were unwilling to surrender. As a result, the consul Gratt Baflo was killed first, and the strong and charging citizens were almost lost. Even the Lucarians couldn't control their bloodthirsty impulses and were ready to fight the remaining ones. When the trembling people of Amendolara attacked the killer, the Greek mercenaries arrived.
In front of the people of Amendola, these strong and burly soldiers showed their might, and in an instant they slaughtered the wicked enemy just now, and surrendered on their knees.
When these murderous soldiers approached the people of Amendolara, the people of Amendolara could not help trembling. Unexpectedly, these soldiers supported them with concern, prepared clean beds, served steaming oatmeal, and doctors carefully examined their bodies and treated their wounds. They entered Elysee Paradise from hell!
More than once, Cornelus shed tears of gratitude, and he, like everyone else, began to inquire about the origins of this gallant and caring team. And those soldiers, doctors, and women who bandaged their wounds, called "nurses" by the soldiers, and slaves all told the people of Amendolara everything about themselves, so Cornelus knew Now: This Greek army came from Asia Minor. Under the leadership of the Persian prince Cyrus the Younger, it went deep into the hinterland of Persia to fight against the army of the Persian king. Then they fought for thousands of miles and returned to Byzantium safely. Greece, after the failure of the battle led by the Turians, the mercenaries and the Tarantum reinforcements took the lead and wiped out the allied forces of the Lucanian tribes. Then, without repairing, they attacked Amendolara that night and saved them...
The story of the mercenaries is as legendary and fascinating as the epic Odyssey. What made Cornerus even more amazing was Davos, the leader of the mercenary army. According to the soldiers, this young leader was just an ordinary soldier at first, and there was nothing special. During the battle, he woke up after falling unconscious. Not only did his personality change drastically, but he was also smart and wise, and solved many problems. The soldiers believed that he was favored by Hades, the king of the underworld, and received divine inspiration, which made him different. , so he was elected as the leader, and Davos lived up to expectations, creating one miracle after another: leading the soldiers to break out of the encirclement and return to Greece; he was alone and accepted the invitation of Turii; in the defeat of the battle, everyone When he was pessimistic and lost, he resolutely launched an attack on the powerful Lucania coalition, annihilated the enemy with disparity in strength, and created an almost impossible miracle; then, when others thought that the mercenary war was in urgent need of rest, he was in the The attack on Amendolara was launched again within a day...
Therefore, when the mercenary told Cornerus that the leader of Davos wanted to see him, he was so eager to see this man who led such a unique army, was respected and admired by the soldiers, A young leader known as "God's Blessed One", "Child of Miracles", "Our Davos".
As soon as I entered the hall, I was greeted by a young man with a smile on his face, and he kindly shouted: "Lord Cornelus!"
Cornerus was stunned: "Who are you?"
The guard leading the way said proudly: "This is our Davos leader!"
Although he learned from the mercenary that Davos was a young man, when he stood in front of him, Cornelus was still surprised that he was too young and so easy-going, completely unlike the battle-hardened man he imagined. The leader of the mercenary army was a little rude for a while.
And Davos is also looking at the elder of the Amendolara Senate: it is reported that his family was one of the founders of Amendolara more than 200 years ago, and it has continued to this day. It can be said to be a famous family of Amendolara, and although Cornelus himself is only a veteran, he is kind, helpful, and has a high reputation among the people, which is why Davos chose him in the first place. Looking at the middle-aged man who was devastated by the long-term detention, Davers asked with concern: "I heard that you were injured last night, don't you know you are better?"
Kerperus stroked the bandage on his abdomen and said gratefully: "Much better! Much better! Your doctors are very skilled! Chief Davos, thanks to you for arriving in time last night, otherwise we will be finished. !"
Davos jumped in his heart, looked at Cornerus carefully, his sincere expression did not seem to be fake. Last night, when he learned that there was a fierce battle between the Lucanians and the people of Amendolara who had broken out of the temple, he deliberately slowed down the pace of the attack, causing most of the young citizens of Amendolara to die in the battle. He felt a little guilty. He quickly said: "Well... Lord Cornelus, I invited you to come over today. I have news to tell you that we will be leaving soon."
Cornelus was taken aback: "Why?"
"Although the Lucarians have suffered heavy losses this time, they are after all a vast area and a lot of people. I heard that Portentia was going to help Grummentum, so Turui rushed to us to go back and help defend their city." Davers' serious expression seemed to be true.
