"...I pretended to be an envoy of Turri, and after several efforts, I finally arrived in Sparta. In the council of elders, I told the elders of Sparta about Turri's disaster and asked them for reinforcements. The Spartan elders expressed sympathy for our encounter with Turri, but there was no reinforcement to send. Instead, they gave a certificate of recruitment permission..."

"Clever!" When Burkos said this, Pharys couldn't help but praise it, and the other generals were also relieved. It seems that Sparta didn't care too much about Turri's assistance to Athens. .

"Thanks to our timely measures, Sparta can treat us with this attitude." Kunogolata said from the side, and several generals agreed. Regardless of whether Sparta changed his attitude because of Turri’s deportation of the descendants of Athens, or did not take Turri at all, these generals who had expressed support and approval for the expulsion of the descendants of Athens. All need this kind of false identification to dispel the guilt in the heart.

Burkos glanced at the generals and continued: "When I arrived at Miletus, during the recruitment of Drax, Sesta and other mercenaries, I heard a lot about the little Cyrus leading Greece. The mercenaries attacked Persia and attempted to usurp the throne."

Several generals nodded. Don’t look at Turiyi being thousands of miles away from Asia Minor, but they know the news. Not to mention the frequent merchant shipping between the east and the west in the Mediterranean, the first batch of mercenaries can only be stationed. Outside the city, but there are constantly small merchants and hawkers even going to the military camp to do business, thus spreading some news and stories to the city.

"The Greek mercenaries defeated the army of the Persian king. Although Cyrus died in battle, they also defeated the Governor of Persian Asia Minor Tisafunis, the army of Armenian Governor Orontas many times on their way back to Greece. It is said that they also killed several famous generals in Persia! They marched thousands of miles and constantly fought with the local indigenous people. Among them, there are many mountain races that make Persians headaches. Generals, you say such a Greek Are mercenaries rich in combat experience? Are they amazingly powerful? Are they comparable to Spartans?"

"Is this the army you hired--" Some of the generals couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's the Greek mercenary expedition to Persia?!"

"Yes, generals." Burkos saw the expressions of surprise and excitement intertwined, and a stone in his heart finally fell: "The last time we failed in the battle with the Lucanians was not only because of Assi The negligence of Kurodayaks is also because the citizens have lived in peace for a long time and lack combat experience."

Actually, after the Turyis repelled the Lukanian invasion, they took the initiative to invade the Lukanian territory. It was not the will of Asikurodojaks alone, but all the citizens of Turei. Including the generals are pushing, this strong desire to retaliate against the Lukanians prompted the entire army to underestimate the enemy's land, and almost the entire army was wiped out.

At this time, Burkos pushed the blame on Asikurodojax against his will (this was also the scapegoat found by the Turíy Citizens Congress after the fiasco). Seeing the generals nodded in agreement, he could not help but secretly contempt. But I still said seriously: "I think if such an army can be hired, then the danger that Tury faces will not only be relieved, but it will also deal a huge blow to the Lukanians. So I arranged for my men to be stationed. In the tavern and the inn, inquire about the whereabouts and movements of the Greek expeditionary forces at any time. Soon after, I learned that they had reached the city of Heraclea on the coast of the Yoke Xing Sea, but I also learned another bad news,'Sparta The war with Persia was about to begin, and the Spartan general Tiburon was even appointed governor of Asia Minor, and rushed to Mili to start recruiting troops. "I was afraid that this Greek expeditionary force would be recruited by Sparta, so I took a fast boat to Hebrew overnight. Lesbian, and found them in Byzantium.

But most of the mercenaries are tired of fighting and don’t want to go far away from home to fight in the remote and unfamiliar Turye. Only this unit led by Davos is tempted by the high salary I proposed. , I agreed to accept employment after I agreed to accept some of their requirements. And just after I led them out of Byzantium by boat, they were intercepted by the Spartan fleet. It turned out that the Spartan Governor of Asia Minor Tiburon sent an envoy to let the entire Greek Expeditionary Force fight for him. This army is the best in the expeditionary army, and several Persian generals actually died in their hands. It was only because I had a signed employment agreement in my hand, and a recruitment permit issued by the Spartan Council of Elders, and at the same time I paid half a tarent to bribe the Spartan messenger, that I was able to let the fleet release..."

"Everyone, after accepting the task given to him by us, Burkos has gone through difficulties and dangers, and even his life is in danger. He did not fear or give up. Instead, he used his talent and tenacity to finally complete the recruitment. It is said that it has completed the recruitment task beyond our expectations! Not only has it attracted strong support for Turri, but also let us understand the attitude of Sparta towards Turri. We should thank him! The citizens of Turri should all Thank him!!" Ferris said excitedly, applauding first.

The other generals also clapped, and the applause lasted for a while.

Burkos didn't know what to say at this time.

Kunogolata stepped forward and said sincerely, "Burkos, you are Turri’s hero! Please forgive me for what I said just now. I shouldn’t be suspicious of you like that. It’s just a recent picture. Lee’s financial problems are giving us a headache. Will you accept my apology?!"

Burkos nodded in acceptance.

Next, Neonsis also expressed apologies.

Ansitanos, another general, said: "Should we visit the leader of the Greek mercenary expedition to Persia to show Turri's welcome to them?"

"Ansitanos, I know you want to learn more about Persia from them, in order to complete the sequel to your teacher Herodotus's great "History"." Kunogolata sternly Said: "But it is not a good time now. I admit that the force that Burkos said is really amazing, but they are mercenaries and Gentiles after all! And we represent Tury! You know, you are used to it. It is not uncommon for soldiers who **** slaughter to threaten themselves while frightening the enemy. We cannot spoil them and let them have unnecessary fantasies. What will happen to another mercenary if we pay too much attention to them. Think?! What will Tarantum’s reinforcements think?!"

"That's right! They are just some free people. We hired them to fight for us!" Niyonsis shouted loudly.

Kunogolata took the opportunity to take the conversation and continued: "Neonsis is right! No matter how strong a mercenary is, it is still a mercenary. We pay, we are the employer. You guys, don't talk about this relationship. It's the opposite!"

Although there is some disagreement with Kuno Gorata in terms of governing philosophy, Ferris also had to nod and say: "Kuno Gorata is right. We treat them as mercenaries before. There is no need to be too much. Pay attention."

At this time, Neonsis said: "Since we have strong reinforcements and the Lucanians are about to launch an offensive, shall we re-discuss the countermeasures?"

Kunogorata immediately said: "Villages and farms outside the city have been renovated, and wheat seeds have been sown. We must repel the Lukarians before they destroy the citizens' property again!"

"The last time we failed miserably was because we were too aggressive and killed more than 10,000 citizens, so we must be cautious! According to the news, the number of Lucanians may exceed tens of thousands." Ferris said cautiously: "The number of our soldiers plus mercenaries and Tarantum's reinforcements is no more than 9,000 at most, including many citizens over forty years old." /
