Ktips looked left and right. He wanted to say something more, but when he saw Matonis' face, he closed his mouth wittily, knowing that the team leader of Matonis was anxious. Now, he really punches people with his fists, and of course his short guards are also well-known throughout the army. Ktips aggrievedly raised his tool and digged into the ground fiercely...
Matonis didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore, he picked up the wooden basket full of soil in one hand, stepped on the wooden ladder, went up to the ground, and poured the soil on the soil barrier to be built in the trench. He observed that the progress of his team was not bad, but when he looked at the situation of the Olivers team next to him, he immediately became a little anxious, standing by the trench and shouting: "Brothers work hard, let's fight for the first place this time. This is done and get the reward promised by the leader! If anyone doesn’t do it seriously and drags their feet, I will never let him go, you know!"
"Roar!" the veterans howled, and the recruits mostly responded weakly...
……………………………
"Leader, when we are building a camp this time, we will not only dig trenches, build soil walls, and build outposts, but also build wooden fences on the clay walls, build walkways behind the wooden fences, and dig pits in front of the trenches. , Bury the sharp stakes... The requirements of this camp are too complicated! And the amount of labor is much larger than before, and the soldiers are all complaining, is this necessary?!" Asistes asked puzzledly.
While watching the progress of the camp construction, Daves replied affirmatively: "Of course it is necessary! Burkos said that last year the Lucanians attacked Turei with at least 10,000 soldiers! We are not like the picture. Riy, is protected by a tall and thick city wall. If you don’t build a solid camp, can you withstand the attack of the Lukarians?! When we are besieged by the Lucanians, the Tury will come to rescue us. A mercenary?!"
Asisters shook his head.
"So to build such a complex camp, tired is a little tired, but with it, the soldiers will feel at ease in resting and sleeping, and the enemy will have nothing to do with us! And this camp is not for them to build in one day. It can be done in a few days." Daves saw Asistes's clear expression, and then said: "Before, I didn't ask you to gather the soldiers who have worked in carpentry in the team and form an engineering battalion. Let them lead the soldiers to find out how to build a wooden fence, outposts, and walkways. With this experience, you can do the same when you build camps in the future."
Asisters said sincerely: "Boss, you are so thoughtful!"
Daves smiled: This is just an effective method summed up by the Roman army through hundreds of years of war in history. He directly learned from it and pushed it hard. It is hoped that the military tradition of the Roman Legion, which "build a strong camp wherever you go," can also become the habit of your own army.
"Leader, Felicius is back." Assistus saw Felicius coming from the north.
Davers hurriedly greeted him and asked: "How is the situation?"
"Burcos is right. There is a small river for about ten miles north, and there are forests on the other side of the river."
"Is it easy to cross the river?"
"The river is very shallow, but we found a spy from the Lucaria. According to the guide, it may be from the city of Amendorara."
The news made Daves ponder for a while, and he said decisively: "Burks said that this only Lucania troop that remains north of Turri is not large. I will give you five hundred. A soldier and a hundred sturdy slaves, you lead them to the mountains and let some of them chop wood, and the other are responsible for guarding. If possible, go further north and check around the city of Amendorara. Situation."
"Okay."
……………………………
"On a large rock 100 meters away from Camp Davers, Dracos and the other two leaders are stopping and looking.
"What do these guys want to do? Does a camp need to be so complicated?! This is building a camp, this is obviously building a city! Do the Turiyi allow them to do this?!" A leader Said sarcastically.
"Adrianx, you must admit that if such a complex camp is built, it will be very difficult for the Lucarians to attack! On the contrary, look at our camp, it looks simple in comparison. Too much! I heard from the Turian that the Lucarias are gathering forces in Laos. Once they go south, I am afraid that we will suffer first! Should we consider re-strengthening our camp?" Another leader propose.
"Sesta, it's not that you don't know the virtues of our soldiers. You are active when you ask for money. Once you let them do the work, they will all be sneaky!" Adrianx said helplessly.
"Yeah, this is what makes me strange. They—" Sesta pointed at the soldiers who were doing their best in the distance, and curiously said: "It's not like mercenaries at all, even some city-states. The civilian soldiers of Japan are not as good as them, but they are a bit like Spartans! But just listen to their accents, Cesali, Rhode Island, Thrace, Crete, Kerthonis, Caius ......There are accents in all places, just like ours! But why is the difference so big?!"
"Don’t think too much. Although they had a fight with them, they didn’t have any bad intentions towards us. They also took the initiative to help us treat the wounded. Let’s not provoke them in the future. Besides, it’s a good thing that they are strong. They are there. We are at ease by our side!" Adrianx finished with emotion, jumped off the stone: "Go, don't stand here for a long time, let them think we have any other intentions!"
Adrianx felt the horror of this mercenary and couldn't help but want to stay away from them.
"I think we should try again and let the soldiers reinforce the defense of the camp!" Setta also jumped down.
"Well, go back and discuss with the soldiers." Adrianx shrugged helplessly, walked a few steps, remembering something, and shouted back, "Dracos, let's go!"
Dracos grinned, his swollen jaw hurt when he moved, he took a deep look at Davos camp, and followed the two of them.
Shortly after returning to the camp, the wounded who healed came back. From their mouths, these mercenaries, mainly from Ionia and Asia Minor (because Burkos was recruited in Miletus at the time), only learned that they had been with them. The fighting was actually the Greek mercenaries who accompanied the young Cyrus on the expedition to Boss! We must know that after Daves and the others arrived at the Sea of Yoke, when the merchant ships of the city-states of Yoke were going to the mainland of Greece, Asia Minor and Ionia, merchants and sailors were chatting with the Greek mercenaries in Persia. The exaggerated and exaggerated experience of the battle was spread out, so that when Daves and the others were marching along the coast of the Yoke Xinghai, their reputation had already spread throughout Ionia. Many mercenaries understand their plight, but they are very envious of their experience and regard them as heroes. After all, the Greek army has never reached the Persian hinterland so far.
Now that they learned that the group of people who beat them up was part of the Persian Expeditionary Army, the mercenaries’ grievances not only disappeared, but they also sighed sincerely: No wonder the fighting was so fierce. It turned out to be the Greek mercenaries who came back from the Persian expedition. And they are by our side now!
The soldiers who could not restrain the surprise, regardless of the leader's obstruction, rushed out of the camp gate and ran to the Davos camp, wanting to hear their heroes tell about their experiences in Persia...
