"Ka... Castellon is a big city?" Assistus asked curiously.
The guide shook his head and said, "A small city, built by the former Subaris, is now independent."
Hearing this, Daves looked towards the southern station, and sighed: I think at the beginning, the sphere of influence of Hybaris was from Amendorara in the north and Castellon in the south... Such a powerful city-state was actually Crotone, weaker than it, destroys the city! It really complied with the sentence "Born in sorrow, and died in happiness."
For a long time, Davers said: "Go back."
After waiting for the guide to leave, Daves said to Asistes and Leides: "Have you seen what it's like when a hound meets a bear?"
The two shook their heads. You have to know that there are no bears in Greece. When they reach the Duqueya Mountains, they know that there are such strong terrestrial animals in the world.
"The fur of its whole body will stand up, showing its sharp teeth, desperately yelling at the male, and making a punting posture. In fact, it knows that it can’t beat the bear. It just wants to show its power and let The bear knows it's not easy to mess with..." Daves had seen it in the online video of his previous life, and it was not meaningful to say it at this time.
After all, Asistes was young, and based on the situation he saw today, he quickly reacted: "Chief, are you talking about... the Lucanians of Amendorara?"
"The Lucanians of Amendorara wanted to scare us away, but they exposed their thoughts and strength. I guess there are more than a thousand soldiers in the city!" Daves said affirmatively.
Leides also understood at this time, and said excitedly: "Chief...Chief, are you going to lead us to capture Amendorara?!!!"
Asistes' eyes were wide open. After all, they had all participated in a secret military meeting before coming to Greece, and they knew what the real purpose of the mercenary was.
"Brothers, before any plan is implemented, we must eat it in our stomachs and don't confide a word! Otherwise, let the soldiers know, and if we accidentally spread it, the Turiyi people will stop us. The Lucanians will strengthen their defenses, and other forces will undermine our plan, because they don’t want a strange group from outside to take root here! Do you understand it!!" Daves Solemnly warned.
"Understood!!" The two nodded repeatedly.
"I decided to cover my mouth when I sleep." Asistes also joked.
Looking at the two excited people, Daves said sternly: "Now I have a task to give to both of you. Ryders!"
"Here!"
"You lead your subordinates to monitor the Lucania camp to the west and the city of Amendorara to the north. You report to me once a day. At the same time, you must do everything possible to clarify the city of Amendorara. The more detailed the defense, the better, but don’t let the Lucanians in the city notice it, can you do it?"
"Yes!" Ryders gave a powerful military salute.
"Asisters!"
"Here!"
"You secretly search for the citizen who escaped from Amendorara. After you find it, you will try your best to bring him to our camp. Don't let the Turyi know."
"Understood!"
……………………………
Burkos listened carefully to the guide's description of the situation with Daves over the past two days, and Daves was a little surprised by how serious he was in investigating the surrounding environment of Turri. In his impression, even the Spartan Criandridas, who was previously called a famous general by Turri, did not personally investigate like Daves, or even face the enemy alone.
He couldn't help asking: "Molas, what do you think of Daves?"
Molas thought for a while, and said, "Master, Chief Davos is very nice to people!"
Molas was an Egyptian slave. Although Burkos regarded him as a confidant, his contempt for him was obvious in the eyes of other Tury citizens, but Daves did not feel this, on the contrary Davers talked with him in an equal manner from beginning to end, never arguing.
Burkos nodded, he thought so too. Even though Daves was a mercenary, he was a very cultivated man.
"What else?" he asked again.
"Well... he's always thinking about questions... asking questions makes me a little bit confused, and it feels like he's a bit mysterious." Molas continued.
Strange, Burkos had this feeling before. He thought he was thinking too much. After all, Daves was less than twenty years old. Could this be the temperament of the "favorite"? He laughed dumbfounded, and he didn't quite believe this statement that had been circulating within the mercenaries.
"And he is so bold, he doesn't seem to be afraid of the Lucanians at all!" Moras said.
"He is someone who has seen war scenes! Besides, the charge is in front of the battle and the guard is behind in the retreat. This is the performance of a famous general. Back then, Criandridas did this. But Dai Firth is only nineteen years old!" Burkos said with a sigh. He remembered the Archita who had visited with Ferris in the morning. This young nobleman from Tarantum was also very young. He just met him. At that time, he was lying on the ground working hard to calculate something. The rumors that he was the most gifted member of the Pythagorean school were probably true. This young nobleman from across the bay not only has no prestige, but is also gentle and polite in dealing with others, but also sincerely expressed his willingness to assist Turri in repelling the Lucanians with all his strength.
Achita’s promise is very precious! You know, before coming to Turri, he has independently led the army several times, repelling the fierce Mesapi who invaded Tarantum territory. Although he is not very talkative, it can be seen that the Tarantum soldiers treat the young commander out of sincere respect. They are very similar to the attitude of mercenary soldiers toward Daves. These are two extraordinary things. Talented young man! Why doesn't Turriy? Thinking of Ahirodo Yax, the son of Criandridas, Burkos felt disappointed at the same time, and suddenly thought: Can Daves become a citizen of Turei by discussing with Ferris?
………………………………
A few days later, the mercenary camp was built, and the soldiers could finally have a good rest.
Adrian and Sesta also took the opportunity to visit Daves.
Davers received them very warmly, and the two sides had a very happy conversation, and the little conflict that had happened before was long forgotten. As Daves said, the two mercenaries are in the same boat. Only by working together and cooperating fully can they complete their tasks and get paid alive.
In fact, long before the leaders of the two sides met, the soldiers on both sides had begun to get close. On the one hand, Adrianks and their mercenaries are curious about the rumored Greek Expeditionary Force; on the other hand, most of them are from the Ionian region and can be regarded as fellow villagers, especially those who are unfamiliar in this place. The place feels more cordial. So in the end, it was Adrianx and their soldiers who built the camp together with Daves's soldiers while listening to them tell the story of the expedition. The leaders of both sides did not stop, but were happy to see the result.
Daves also reached an agreement with Adrianx and them: to build a tunnel to connect the camps of both parties, once one party is in trouble, the other party should provide help.
Actually, both sides understand that compared with experienced expeditionary forces, Adrianx and their recruits have more chances to have problems, but Davers agreed without hesitation, causing him to send the two leaders. When leaving the camp, Adriantes and Setta repeatedly thanked him and paid him a respectful farewell.
"Look, that's our leader, Dafus the Favored!" A soldier pointed at Dafus not far away and said proudly.
"He is Daves, he is so young?" Another soldier from Adrianx's barracks was a little puzzled.
"What's wrong with your youth! Several Persian generals died in his hands. When he charged like a lion, even the Spartans would be scared! I didn't see your leader being so respectful to Daves Is it!" the soldier said proudly.
At this time, another soldier interjected: "And Chief Davos is very kind to our soldiers! Even if you are seriously injured, he will not abandon you! I was shot by a Persian arrow, all over my body. As hot as fire, thinking that he was going to die, it was the leader of Davos who rescued me from hell..." After that, he opened his clothes and exposed the wound, as if it were not a scar but a medal.
Hearing this, the soldier showed a look of envy: "It would be great if the Davos leader could also command us!!"
