Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 11: Meet me

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

Unexpectedly, the Persian envoy did not mention the surrender of the Greek mercenaries, but proposed a truce between the two armies. Of course mercenaries who are already in trouble cannot ask for it. After some negotiations, the two sides reached a truce, and the Persians had to provide for the Greeks. This is a good news for the mercenaries, because their food storage has bottomed out, and they were planning to burn and loot the villages along the way.

Although there was a truce agreement, Clearkus did not relax his guard: Persian envoys led the way, and Clearkus ordered the whole army to march in a three-way column and a four-row battle formation. Along the way, three or four meters wide trenches were continuously encountered. The trenches were full of sewage. The soldiers had to cut down trees to build wooden bridges. Daves, who was located in the main guard camp, managed to relax.

"Look, that's Clearkus!" Following the direction of Oliver's finger, Daves saw a tall middle-aged man, naked to the upper body, with strong bronze muscles. The conspicuous scar is carrying a section of the tree trunk that has just been cut down with the soldiers. When he walked to the ditch, he took the lead and jumped into the ditch without hesitation. He didn't care about the sludge splashed, and immediately began to repair the wooden bridge that had just been broken.

"Yeah, this is Klarkus! And where is our Menon?!" Matonis said sighfully, meaningfully.

Although due to the conflict between Menon and Clearkus, the troops led by them have also engaged in combat due to the conflict. But the soldiers are not fools. They see what the leaders do. Who is trustworthy? Who is strong? They are like a mirror in their hearts. There are more than a dozen mercenary leaders, why is it always based on Clearkus? ! It's not unreasonable.

This is the way to command troops! Daves has been watching Clearkus's performance and said to himself from the bottom of his heart.

As it approached dusk, the Greeks arrived at their destination. The Persian envoys not only prepared comfortable residences for the villages where the Greek mercenaries settled, but also provided a wealth of food: fruit wine, drinks, bread, palm dates...

The soldiers couldn't help but cheer.

For a while, Daves also wondered: Are the Persians really scared by the Greek heavy infantry, and really want to truce?

Just after he and his companions tasted the food and determined that there was no problem, when they were about to eat and drink, Antonios came: "Davers, Menon wants to see you!"

"Now?!" Daves swallowed.

"Now!" Antonios nodded.

"Don't worry, nothing! Menon just heard that Davers helped us solve a few problems. Out of curiosity, I wanted to see him, maybe there are rewards!" Seeing everyone showing concern, Antonios made a guarantee.

Antonius took Daves to a big house in the middle of the village and said to the guard at the door: "Mennon wants to see Daves, he has come."

The guard looked at Daves curiously, and then said: "Mennon is doing something important now. Please wait a moment."

After a while, there was no movement inside. Daves still spoke to Antonios calmly. Antonios was anxious: "What is not done yet, I'll go in and remind you!" He rushed in and was stopped by the guards: "Antonios, do you want me to be scolded!"

Antonius glared at him, and the guard finally gave in: "I'm afraid of you, I'll go see it again." After speaking, he turned and ran into the house.

After a while, he came out: "Go in, Menon is waiting." He said, but his eyes did not dare to touch Antonios.

Daves was about to go in, and Antonios pressed his shoulder and told: "Mennon sometimes has a bad temper. If he says something about you, you must not argue with him, just listen."

Davers smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a kid."

Antonius nodded. Talking all the way allowed him to get a better understanding of Daves: this young man has much more stability than his peers. Seeing Daves entering the house, Antonios recollected: No, he is not a child, who is a child? Menon?

He smiled helplessly, it seems that this young man is not easy to provoke. He turned his head and angered the guards and said, "Potax, you deliberately left us here."

"Oh, Antonios, you are a sensible person. Apart from Menon, who would do such boring things."

"Huh!"

"That young man is what you call Hades's ‘favorite’?! I think he also understands what’s going on, and he smiled at me just now..."

…………………………

Davos certainly understands what happened: I have seen a lot in the agency in the past life, is it just disarming? The more people who adopt this method, the less confident they are in their own control. Menon is such a person. NS?

Davers curled his mouth and walked through the small courtyard to the main house.

"Chief Menon, soldier Daves is ordered to come!"

"Come in." A shrill voice came from the room.

Daves strode into the house. There was a person sitting in the middle of the living room. He was still wearing a shiny breastplate, but it didn’t seem to add more majesty to him, because if his white face was shaved off his beard, absolutely It's pretty clean.

Daves can't help but think of some rumors about Menon's bad news, such as the ambiguous story between him and the young Cyrus adjutant Alireus. He suddenly became a little nervous: this person shouldn't be to me...

Menon is also looking at Daves: a strong body, average height, average appearance, and a slightly immature face without even a beard, but standing there gives a person a distinctive temperament.

"Well... I heard that you are a "favored one", so I want to ask, are the Persians sincere to truce with us this time? Or do you have other ideas?" Menon asked casually. road.

"Sorry, boss. I don't know!" Davers replied without thinking.

Davos's such direct answer made Menon a little stunned. Finally, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Then tell me, can we go home safely this time?"

"I don't know." Daves' answer was still straightforward.

"Asshole!" Menon was furious and slapped his chair hard: "Didn't you tell me that you have an oracle in the whole camp? Didn't you tell other people that you know everything! Now you don't speak! You liar!"

Daves raised his eyebrows: "Chief Menon, I am lucky to survive the battle, but I have never claimed to be the favored one. This can be proved by my teammates. What other people think I can't control how to say it is their business.

As for the oracle, I never said it. It’s just that sometimes when I chat with my teammates, I’m lucky enough to talk about what I might encounter next. Whether you can go home safely is a matter for you leaders to worry about. We soldiers just want to get some comfort and encouragement by talking and chatting after fighting. "

After listening to this, Menon’s first reaction was that this guy was very eloquent, and he couldn’t catch his handle for a while to fight back, and he looked straight at Menon’s calm gaze face to face, making Menon feel the courage of the other party. .

Mennon was a little irritable, and after a while, he waved his hand and said: "I will investigate what you said. In short, don't guess about the Persians. This will affect the morale of the soldiers." /

Davers immediately lowered his head and said obediently: "Yes!"

Menon felt better now. He reached out and grabbed a handful of Drachma and said, "Anyway, this time you made an offer to help our troops. This is me-the mercenary leader Mei The reward from the farmer. Remember, next time there are any good ideas, come and tell me directly, I will reward you again!"

Davers stretched out his hand pretending to be happy and took it: "Thank you, Chief!"

Mennon waved him to retreat, watching him walk out of the house, Menon's expression was still a bit dazed: Menon and Daves are in an employment relationship, and Menon has no right to life or kill, only the right to dismiss. But fire a warrior with a brain, he will be reused in other military camps, but Menon will suffer. So Menon just wanted to beat Davers, not wanting him to expand his influence in the barracks while keeping him in his hands. But judging from this meeting, it seems not so easy...
