Cornerus was both excited and nervous when he was led into the Senate by soldiers.
Since Amendorara was occupied by the Lucanians, Cornelus’s life in the past six months has been almost like in hell: during the day, under the supervision of the Lucarians, he grazes cattle and sheep, cuts down trees, and carries The supplies, a little slack, sometimes being insulted, and sometimes sticked, even without food; at night, they were imprisoned in the temple of Zeus with other people. Although the temple was large, thousands of people were crowded together, eating and drinking. , It’s all inside, the air is dirty, the space is small, and children often make trouble, adults cry, and can’t sleep well all night. The harsh environment can be imagined; at the same time, the Lucanians only give them half full every day. , Making them weak, people continue to fall ill and die.
During the long detention period, Cornelus, like everyone else, was exhausted in both physical and mental resistance. He confessed his fate and felt that he would live so numbly until quietly returning to Hell...
But yesterday, they were gathered together in an emergency, ready to pack trucks and load items. They were busy until the evening, and even the murderous Lucarias took their own hands. From their panicked expressions, Cornelus felt What's there?
Sure enough, the people who could speak Lukanian quietly told them: He overheard what the Lukanians were talking about, saying, "...Grumentum’s army was wiped out by some Greek mercenary. ", "Those Greeks are murderous beasts, terrible..." and so on.
This news cheered the people of Amendorara. They saw the hope of getting out of trouble, so that in the middle of the night, many people toss and turn and couldn't sleep, and then they heard the vague sound of fighting...
What happened? ! ! The sensitive people of Amendorara got up one after another, came to the entrance of the temple, and looked out through the crack of the door: Lucania's guards were panicked, and they shouted in panic, so that the people in the temple could hear clearly: " The Greeks have entered the city!"
The people were extremely excited. The consul Glatt Baflo, who had always acted decisively, saw that the guards left one after another, seeming to be going to reinforce the enemy fighting under the mountain, and immediately organized the citizens to counterattack. The people of Amendorara, who hated the Lukarians, smashed through the door together, swarmed up, and knocked down the few and unscrupulous Lukania guards with stones and fists.
The people just came out of the temple, but they ran into Lucarians who were returning to help (actually, the Lucanians were completely unable to resist the mercenary attack. Wesbah thought of it in desperation The more than 1,000 Greeks imprisoned in the temple may be taken as hostages in exchange for the survival of their tribe. The unarmed and frail Amendorara people are certainly not the opponents of the Lucaria fighters, but they were just now. After breaking through the prison, another reinforcement is coming, and the Amendorara, full of anger and hope, are unwilling to surrender. As a result, the consul Glatt Bafflo was the first to die, and the strong and charging citizens were almost lost. Even the Lucarias could not control their bloodthirsty impulse and were ready to deal with the rest. When the trembling people of Amendola killed the killer, the Greek mercenaries arrived.
In front of the people of Amendola, these strong and burly soldiers showed their power, and in a flash, they knelt down and surrendered to the fallen flowers and water that had been killed by the vicious enemy just now.
When these murderous soldiers walked towards the people of Amendorara, the people of Amendorara could not help shaking. Unexpectedly, these soldiers lifted them up with concern, prepared clean beds, delivered steaming cereal, and doctors carefully examined their bodies and treated their wounds, and they entered Elysee Paradise from hell!
Cornerus shed tears of gratitude more than once, so he, like everyone else, began to inquire about the origins of this fierce fighting and caring team. The soldiers, doctors, and women who bandaged their wounds and were called "nurses" by the soldiers, and slaves all told the people of Amendora everything about themselves, so Cornellus knew A: This Greek army comes from Asia Minor. Under the leadership of the Persian prince Cyrus, it went deep into the hinterland of Persia to fight against the army of the Persian king. After that, it fought thousands of miles and returned to Byzantium safely. In Greece, after the defeat of the battle led by the Tureis, the mercenaries and the Tarantum reinforcements took the lead and wiped out the allied forces of the Lucanian tribe. Then they attacked Amendorara that night and saved them...
The story of the mercenary is as full of legend and fascinating as the epic "Odyssey". And what made Cornellus more miraculous was the mercenary leader Daves. According to the soldiers, the young leader was just an ordinary soldier at first, and there was nothing special about it. During the battle, he woke up after falling fainted. Not only did his personality change drastically, but he was also clever and wise, and solved many problems. The soldiers believed that he was favored by Hades of Hades and received enlightenment, so he became different. , So he elected him as the leader, and Dafus did not disappoint, and created one miracle after another: leading the soldiers out of the siege and returning to Greece; they stood alone and accepted Turri’s invitation; in the battle, everyone failed. When he was pessimistic and lost, he resolutely launched an offensive against the powerful Lucanian coalition forces, annihilating the enemy with disparity in strength, creating an almost impossible miracle; then, after everyone thought that the mercenaries needed a rest after the war, he was in Within a day, the attack on Amendorara was launched again...
So, when the mercenaries told Cornellus that Chief Davos was going to see him, he was so eager to see him leading such a unique army and being respected by the soldiers. And admiring young leaders who call them "The Favored", "Son of Miracles", and "Our Daves".
As soon as I entered the hall, a smiling young man hurriedly greeted him, and he cordially shouted, "Master Cornellus!"
Cornerus was taken aback: "You are?"
The guard leading the way proudly said: "This is our leader of Daves!"
Although Daves was a young man from the mercenaries, when he stood in front of him, Cornelus was surprised that he was too young and so easy-going, completely unlike what he had imagined. The mercenary leader of all battles was a little gaffey for a while.
Daves is also looking at the senator of Amendorara Senate: It is reported that his family was one of the founders of Amendorara more than two hundred years ago, and it has continued to this day, with countless consuls. The veteran, can be said to be the famous family of Amendorara, and although Cornelus himself is only a veteran, he is kind, helpful and has a high reputation among the people. This is why Daves chose him in the first place. Looking at this middle-aged man who had been detained for a long time, Daves asked with concern: "I heard that you were injured last night, don't you know if it's better?"
Corperus stroked the bandage on his abdomen, and said gratefully: "Much better! Much better! Your doctor is very skilled! Chief Davos, thanks to your timely arrival last night, otherwise we It's all over!"
Davers' heart jumped, and when he looked at Cornelus carefully, his sincere expression did not seem to be fake. Last night, when he learned that the Lucanians had a fierce battle with the Amendorara people who broke through at the temple, he deliberately slowed down the attack, causing most of the young citizens of Amendorara to die in the battle. He couldn't help but feel a little guilty. Hurry up and said: "Well... Sir Cornelus, I invite you to come over today. There is a message to tell you that we will leave soon."
Cornerus was taken aback: "Why?"
"Although the Lukarias have been hit hard this time, they have a vast land and many people. I heard that Potentia is ready to assist Grumentum, so Turri eagerly sought us back to help defend them. City." Daves looked serious as if it were true.
