"Yes, wait for Kerry Thorpes to come, let's discuss it again!" When mentioning Kerry Thorpes, everyone's expressions were obviously lighter, which made Davers feel curious, and asked Xeno in a low voice. Fen: "Who is Keli Thorpes?"

Xenophon said with a complex expression: "I heard that Cyrus had an agreement with Sparta. He fully funded Sparta to build a navy. When Cyrus fought, Sparta also needed Provide military assistance."

Davers reacted immediately and said in surprise: "You mean, Kerry Thorpes was sent by Sparta?!"

"He is the inspector of Sparta. I heard that he took 700 heavy armored infantry and joined the team of Cyrus... At that time he didn't know that Cyrus was going to rebel, etc. It was too late when he knew, so he and his troops have been very low-key in the mercenaries, but many high-level officers know his identity..." Xenophon said with some glee.

Davers knew why Xenophon had such an expression, because he was an Athenian. I heard Xenophon introduced the Spartan Ombudsman a long time ago. Unlike other Greek city-states that also have Ombudsman, Spartan's Ombudsman system is unique because of its great power: it can supervise citizens and judge asylum. The Liasis, who sanctioned the Black Laoshi, enjoy the highest civil trial power and part of the criminal trial power; they can always monitor the king's every move with a vigilant eye, have the right to sue the king, and can call him for trial at any time. Moreover, Spartan’s inspectors can only be held by civilians. Every autumn, five inspectors are drawn by lots for citizens over 30 years old. When they enter office, they will issue an order requiring every citizen to shave their upper lip and beard and abide by national laws. Spartan’s emphasis on the Ombudsman. According to Xenophon, it is precisely because of the ombudsman system of Sparta that civilians have power, and it is not regarded as a tyrant country by other city-states.

There is such an important figure hidden in the ranks of the Greek mercenaries. He is probably the only official with official status among the mercenaries, and he is also a Spartan. After defeating Athens, Sparta was already the overlord of the city-states in Greece. Not to mention, the Greeks regarded its horses as if they were looking ahead, or at least in awe. The former Spartan, Klarkus, was a deserter and was sentenced to death by the Spartan government. The upcoming Spartan is a real Spartan warrior, and he also brought the same authentic Spartan seven hundred. warrior.

About to see the ancient Spartan warriors who swept the world in past lives, Daves eagerly anticipated and thought maliciously: Will they wear red pants?

While waiting for Rethorpes, the temporary heads of these military camps were not idle. They invited the officers from the military camps to the level of the squadron leader to participate in the discussion. There were nearly two people in total. There were more than a hundred people, and there was no room for so many people in the big tent, so I sat down in a large circle on the clearing of the Clearkus camp. Arrived.

Early in the morning, Kelithorpes went to a nearby village to prepare supplies for his soldiers. This village was located to the south of the Greek mercenary camp, so it was not intercepted by the Persian cavalry. When the messenger found him, he was rushing back in a hurry, and he had already understood what happened along the way. When he came to the meeting place, everyone consciously gave him a spacious space. He didn't hesitate to sit on the muddy ground just like everyone else, and began to look around everyone: indeed did not see the main mercenary leaders... He felt a little sad when he thought that Clearkus was undecided. Klirkus and him are comrades in arms. They made a lot of military exploits in the war with Athens. They were a member of Spartan, but because they couldn't adapt to peace, they refused to obey Spartan's orders and were sentenced to death and fled. . When Kerithorpes saw him in the little Cyrus’s army, he did not see him, and did not send his men to arrest him. First, he did not want to destroy the cooperation with the little Cyrus; second, he fell in love with this friendship...

His gaze swept across faces slowly, and stopped when it fell on a person: this is a very young face, among the many team officers whose average age is mostly over thirty. This young man should not be more than twenty years old, and sitting in the forefront of the team, so it is very conspicuous. What is even more strange is that the few people around him still respect the young man’s attitude. He stared at him with piercing eyes and nodded to him with a smile... Kerry Thorpes was a little confused and hurriedly asked his adjutant in a low voice. The adjutant asked the others before coming over to tell him.

The "favorites" of the Menon Barracks? Has issued the "oracles" repeatedly and has been fulfilled? Kerry Thorpes frowned: The management of the mercenary was really messed up, letting a young man with a childish face occupy a high position!

Although the Spartans claim to be the descendants of Hercules, they actually don't respect the gods, they believe in their own power. They do not believe in the conservative saying that they are young and promising, otherwise there will be no regulations that "Spartans can only be separated from collective life after 30 years old, be independent, get married, and hold important positions...". Therefore, Kerry Thorpes's first impression of Daves was not good.

In the eyes of Daves, there is a big gap between the image of Kerry Thorpes and the imaginary Spartan warrior: he is not tall, looks ordinary, if there are no scars on his face and sharp His gaze reminded others of his status as a fighter, Daves might think he was just an ordinary Greek farmer.

After the surroundings were quieter, Kerry Thorpes began to speak: "I already know what happened. Do you have any suggestions?"

For a time, there were a lot of people whispering in the venue, but no one stood up to speak. After all, to express opinions in the face of more than two hundred combat-experienced generals requires not only courage, but also certain speaking skills and insights. This is not an easy task for poor Greek mercenaries.

Daves did not come out to speak, not because he was afraid, but because he was in contact with the responsible team officers of the various military camps. He found that among this group of people, he was young and just an ordinary soldier, and his behavior that was too public was too easy to provoke. People were disgusted, so he decided to watch the changes.

Finally, Xenophon stood up: "Everyone, the Persians broke their promise, killed or imprisoned our leaders and soldiers, and wanted us to surrender our weapons. Now, our war with the Persians is over. Inevitable! You have all seen that when the soldiers in the camp heard the news, most of them were confused, fearful, or even crying! If this situation does not change quickly, once the Persians come to attack, they need to fight. At that time, they can't show courage and swing a stabbing gun at the enemy, and we are in danger of annihilation!

Everyone, you are the officers of various military camps. Your salary and your status are usually better than ordinary soldiers, and your abilities are also stronger than them. Now in the face of danger, the soldiers pin their hopes on you. You must show great courage and determination to fight the Persians to stabilize the soldiers' emotions and inspire their confidence!

At the same time, we must immediately elect someone with outstanding ability to serve as the new generals of each barracks to replace Klirkus and them, manage and restrain the soldiers of each barracks, formulate a good plan, command the whole army to defeat the Persians, and lead us Return to Greece smoothly! With the protection of Zeus, we must be able to get out of Persia! ! ……"

Xenophon's words evoked a great response in the crowd, and some even applauded. Xenophon cast his gaze on Timathon, who was indifferent, and immediately moved away.

In fact, the Greek mercenaries in trouble at the moment have only this option. Keli Thorpes immediately stood up and said decisively and firmly: "Everyone, we have no time to delay. Just follow what Xenophon said, please go back to your respective barracks immediately, choose your new leader, and let them Come here to have a military meeting together to discuss and develop a plan."

He looked around the crowd and continued loudly: "This afternoon, it's still here. We will hold another military convention!" After finishing speaking, he turned and left before the team officers could respond.

Sure enough! Daves squeezed his fists and followed Antonios to their feet.

The team officers rushed to their barracks.
