Daves saw his huge wound in his abdomen, and he could even see the intestines inside. He knew that his vitality was slim, but he couldn't bear to give up. He said to the soldiers beside him: "Send him to the medical camp of Menon Barracks. Said it was sent by Davesjean."

"Medical Care Camp?"

"Oh, I know!" someone replied, and the soldiers carried the wounded, preparing to pass through the Klarkus barracks and head south. Others looked at Daves at a loss.

Daves said anxiously to them: "Go and inform the garrison officers of the military camps that the Persians broke their promise and slaughtered Greek soldiers. The leader who went to the meeting may have been captured by the Persians and asked them to gather soldiers. Ready to fight!"

The soldiers rushed to their barracks immediately.

"What happened to Davers?!" At this time, Xenophon rushed to the camp gate.

Davers quickly told him what happened briefly.

Xenophon's expression was bleak, and his eyes were full of regret: "I also persuaded Proxinus before, but he didn't listen to it, and I didn't insist... Hey, so to speak, Proxinus. I'm afraid..." Xenophon's trembling voice choked a little.

Daves nodded silently.

Xenophon looked at the Persian cavalry galloping ahead, and said loudly: "We should gather the whole army immediately! Attack the Persian barracks and rescue Proxinus and them!"

"This is not a good idea!" With the voice, a strong middle-aged man walked over: "Although the soldiers have fought with the Persians many times before, we have been in peace with them during this time. Now you Suddenly going to war with the Persians, the soldiers are unacceptable for a while, let alone besiege the Persian military camp."

"At least the Persian cavalry in front should be driven away, and maybe some soldiers who went out can be rescued!" Daves reminded.

The man glanced at him and asked, "Who are you?".

"Daves, a soldier of the Menon Barracks."

"What to do is the responsibility of the team officers, and you don't need a soldier to guide you!" the man yelled angrily.

Davers quietly said nothing.

"Xenophon, you immediately go back to your barracks and inform Agarcia to bring troops over immediately." He ordered Xenophon again.

Xenophon responded and turned and walked back. Daves immediately followed him and asked about Xenophon before he knew that this man was Clearkus’ adjutant Timathon.

Clearkus barracks assembled very slowly. The soldiers came out of the tent slowly one by one. They were still chatting with each other while wearing armor. Obviously they didn’t know the danger, Timathon was anxious. After beating and scolding, he finally gathered about five hundred soldiers.

While Daves and Xenophon have not yet left the Clearkus Barracks, the team officers of other barracks also arrived with a few soldiers, they are: Kriano and Sogla of Akias Barracks Zanteparis of the Die Barracks, Agarcia of Proxinus... The Menon Barracks have the most people, adjutant Felicius, Squadron Captain Antonios, Capps, etc. Of course, among the soldiers, there is also the Hiros squad. . Their arrival gave Daves confidence.

After everyone got together, some team officers didn’t know what happened. The squadron captains of Menon Barracks headed by Antonios unanimously asked Daves to tell the situation. The reason was that the whole thing passed through him. It was witnessed.

Some team officers headed by Timathon were surprised: Daves was just an ordinary young soldier, why all the team officers at the Meron Barracks showed respect to him.

Some people looked at Daves curiously, because some soldiers who went back to spread the letter publicized that: Daves, the Favored of Menon Barracks, prevented Clearkus and the others from going to the Persian barracks to talk, and the leaders didn’t listen. "The Oracle" ended up suffering disaster. It soon spread to everyone.

Therefore, facing the complicated gazes of everyone, Davers will go through a brief explanation calmly.

The team officials quickly reached an agreement: immediately drive away the Persian cavalry in front of the barracks, so that the soldiers who went out can return smoothly.

The soldiers began to line up, and Daves returned to the Hiros team. At this time, Antonios at the front of the queue shouted: "Davers, come to the front!"

Daves was taken aback.

Next, Capps also began to shout.

"Go." Shiros nudged him encouragingly, and his teammates looked at him excitedly.

Davers understands. His heartbeat speeded up, but he didn't refuse, and squeezed forward with great effort. The soldiers took the initiative to make way for him.

"Your position is here." Antonios pulled him to the left of Felicius-this is the forefront of Menon's army, and said to him earnestly: "We may have to negotiate with the Persians in a while. , We need your guidance!"

Antonius said to Felicius again: "Fili, take care of him for us!"

Philipsius answered without hesitation: "Leave it to me without any hesitation!"

Standing at the position of the phalanx commander for the first time, Daves was both excited and a little unnatural. He turned to look at Felicius, who happened to be watching him and reported to him. Gentle smile.

Before, Daves had several contacts with Felicius, and learned some things about him through Antonios and others. Daves had a preliminary impression of Felicius: this The forty-five-year-old Sesari is a good old man who is proficient in military affairs and does not like to fight for fame and fortune. If you think about it, you can understand that Menon, who has a strong desire for control, will of course not choose an equally ambitious person to serve as his adjutant. You must know that he often goes out to make friends with Persian nobles, accept some employment tasks, and things in the barracks must Someone presided over and dealt with it. Over time, there was a danger that the soldiers would only recognize the adjutant but not him, so the good-tempered Felicius was his adjutant carefully selected. At this moment, Daves was undoubtedly cheaper, because Felicius had no objection to the young man standing in the position of commander, and his attitude was very friendly.

The Greek mercenaries lined up in front of the barracks consisted of about 700 heavy infantry and 200 light infantry. The heavy infantry was in front and the light infantry was behind. With the sound of the bugle, the phalanx began to advance slowly. . The Persian cavalry did not push up, but retreated back. The fighting sound gradually became quieter, and the dust mist in front of them gradually dissipated. From time to time, dusty Greek soldiers ran back to the barracks in embarrassment, but more were comrades and corpses moaning on the ground, and the soldiers' sadness and fear were increasing.

"The enemy is coming." Felicius whispered.

I saw a Persian team appeared in front, walking slowly towards them. Daves was both nervous and excited: Is it possible that his first battle is about to begin?

When the two armies were about two hundred meters apart, a group of cavalrymen on the opposite side rushed out and came to the front of the Greek army, shouting in Greek: "The Greeks on the opposite side, listen, let your generals and captains come Come and listen to me read the will of the king!"

There was a commotion in the Greek phalanx. The team officers whispered to each other, but no one came forward. The tragedy of the soldiers who had just been attacked impressed them too deeply, and Persia's previous violation of promises was alarming.

The Persian shouted again, and the Greek army remained calm.

At this moment, a man walked out of the army, armed with a copper shield and a stabbing spear, and walked forward unhurriedly.

"Who is that?! I'm so bold!!"

"That's Daves of our barracks! The beloved of Hades!"

"Is it true?"

"Oh, he is so young!"

……

The soldiers of each battalion were curiously talking. While the team officers were still hesitating, Felicius chased after him, but he promised Antonios and the others to protect Daves' safety. Then Xenophon also walked out of the army, and the young Daves dared to step forward, how could he fall behind.

"It's so messy!" Timathon scolded to cover up his embarrassment, and strode forward. Afterwards, more than a dozen team officers including Zanteparis, Criano, Agarcia, etc., stepped forward one after another.

Daves did this because he was not afraid of the attack by the Persian cavalry, but because he knew that when the mercenaries were facing a disaster and the soldiers panicked, only those who dared to take risks and dared to take responsibility could be accepted by the soldiers. Support and even forget his youth and inexperience.

He didn't walk fast. He was always observing the sides from the side of the eye, and he was slightly relieved when he saw that the other team officials were catching up. Only then did he realize that the palms of his arms were all sweaty.
