lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
Daves’ leader’s big tent can’t accommodate more than forty people, so he asked Martius, the captain of the guard, to lead 30 players (the number of guards has also been expanded) to enclose an open space in front of the big tent. , Don’t let strangers come in and spy, and light torches all around...
Davers's gaze swept across everyone's face:
Captain of the 1st Heavy Infantry Company-Capus of Stability
Captain of the Second Infantry Company——Antonios who is good at knowing people and capturing fighters
Captain of the Third Heavy Infantry Company——The Valorous Amintas
Captain of the Fourth Heavy Infantry Company——Alexis who is good at thinking and planning
Captain of the Fifth Heavy Infantry Company-His loyal confidant Hiros
Captain of the First Light Shield Company-Epithenis with strong tactical ability
Captain of the Second Light Shield Company-Spitt who worships Daves for his devotion to God
As well as the delivery officer Melsis, the medical officer Helps, the herald Asistus, and the cavalry captain Leides (although his horses are running out, Daves still retains this organization and Soldiers, after all, they already have a lot of experience in cavalry combat). There are also twenty-eight team captains, all of whom are experienced and talented team officers. Plus 1,400 veterans who have gone through a long battle for more than a year. This is his entire team based in this world!
Tonight, he must persuade them that after a long year of battle, he will continue to follow him to fight in a foreign country thousands of miles away. He is not very confident about this. Thinking of this, he coughed lightly and said, "Brothers, the farce you played in Byzantium today was pretty good! Creander immediately sympathized with our situation and was willing to provide us with some food. This is all your credit!"
Everyone laughed.
Olivers said loudly, "Boss, this is not a farce, but a comedy. You didn't see the Byzantines fainting in fright!"
Everyone laughed again, but Matonis had a ghost in his heart, so he lowered his head and snickered.
"Yes, comedy." Daves sighed softly, and said, "But how long can this comedy last? We are trapped here, we can't go anywhere, nor dare to go. According to reliable sources , Sparta is ready to go to war with Persia, and the Spartan general Tiburon has arrived in Ephesus to recruit soldiers. How could he let off our veterans who are experienced in fighting Persia! It won’t be long before we will May fight again on the land of Persia!"
"Is this true? I'm tired of fighting the Persians, and I don't want to go back!"
"How could this happen?! I am ready to buy a piece of land in Crete and find a wife..."
……
Everyone immediately became agitated, and there were a lot of uneasy discussions...
Davos did not answer them, but gave another shocking news: "Moreover, the kind-hearted Criande is about to step down, and he will be replaced by Aristakas of Sparta!"
Someone said "Ah".
Daves glanced in that direction and said coldly: "Some of you know him, some don't. I tell you, this Spartan was famous in the previous war with Athens! It was not because of him. Fighting heroically, but—" Daves looked solemn, and said with a heavy tone every word: "He sold the defeated Greeks into slavery twice!!"
These words were like pouring a pot of cold water into a boiling oil pan, and everyone suddenly exploded the pan.
"Does he want to sell us?!"
"If he dares to do this, I will fight him!"
"We are free people, not enemies of Sparta! They have no reason to do this, and it is against Greek tradition!"
"Sparta was originally arrogant and domineering, but now it is the overlord of Greece, it doesn't matter what it does!"
……
Daves looked at the panicked people, his voice full of emotion, he said: "We are free Greeks, we live hard to survive. However, in the eyes of the Spartans, in the eyes of the citizens of the city-states, Here, we are landless untouchables, thieves and robbers who threaten the stability of the city! Therefore, Anaxes can deceive us at will (referring to the Spartan navy commander in order to deceive them into Byzantium, saying that Pay them and break the contract as soon as they arrive)! Kriande can also deceive us at will, trick us out of the city, close the city gate, not give food, and face a large number of Thracians! Sparta Sparta is so powerful, do we dare to resist?! Either we are sold as slaves, can't eat enough, don't wear warm clothes, until one day exhausted to death in farms and mines, and then thrown into the wilderness; or follow Sparta to fight, every day He was wounded all over his body until he died in an unknown wilderness; of course, it may be lucky to return to his hometown safely, but so what?! As a landless freedman, he is a foreigner in any city-state. Can't enjoy the rights of any city-state, but will be spurned until he dies in obscurity..."
Everyone listened quietly, quiet enough to hear someone sobbing...
At this time, Davers was also full of tears: "Is this the result we want after a year of **** struggle in Persia and struggling to return to our hometown! Do we want the right to a stable and happy life? Don't you give it!!! Is there no place in this world for us poor free people to live in peace!!!"
Davos's roar and questioning from the heart awakened every team official present. They clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, and looked angry and painful in their eyes...
Silos stood up, tremblingly stretched out his hands, and said: "Head Davos! Our commander! Hades's favorite! Please tell us, what are we going to do?! What can we do to get rid of Our dilemma!!!"
"Yes, Chief Davos, we need your oracle!!" Silos' words reminded many people that Capps, Antonios and others excitedly pleaded with Daves.
When everyone's eyes were on Davers's face, his expression became extremely solemn: "Last night... a man entered my dream state, and the golden light from his body made me lose sight of him. His appearance... He pulled me up from the bed, through the window, and flew into the air... I looked down in fear, and the Mediterranean Sea appeared clearly in front of my eyes like the same painting... The Peloponnesian Peninsula Like a hammer deep into the sea, and Italy next to it to the west is like a leather boot...Further west, I also saw the Pillar of Hercules like a gate separating the Mediterranean from the ocean... …The Mediterranean coast of Egypt is like a long green carpet extending to Africa..."
Davers' dreamlike narrative attracted everyone. They compared their geographical knowledge and found that the Mediterranean Sea was like this, which made them believe in Davers's words.
"At this moment, the golden light said something to me?"
"What did he say?" everyone asked.
"He said,'Daves, the mission of you and your soldiers is in the west of the Mediterranean!' After finishing speaking, he pushed me down from the air, and then I woke up in shock." Daves had a lingering fear. Said, trance still in a dream.
"Where is that in the west of the Mediterranean?"
"Are you in Sicily?"
"It may be Italy."
"Iberia is also possible."
"Why not Nubia."
"Who is that golden man, Hades?"
"How could Hades have golden light? It should be Athena!"
………
Just as everyone was speculating, Daves sighed secretly. Since he became the leader, he has deliberately avoided his identity as a "favorite", but instead used his ability to win the trust of his subordinates. . But this time it’s a big deal. He had to resort to the Greek gods again. He deliberately made the oracle vague, yes
Because the oracle is ambiguous. For example: In the past, there was a Lydian kingdom in Asia Minor, who wanted to fight Persia, and went to Delphi to spend a lot of money to obtain the Apollo oracle. The oracle said: A big country will be destroyed. The Lydians happily went back to fight, and the result was the destruction of the Lydian kingdom. The explanation of the priests of Apollo is: In Asia Minor, the Kingdom of Lydia is also a big country.
