lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

"Your Excellency, really let go of the Greeks like this?" the adjutant on the side asked unwillingly.

"Let it go?!" Tisafonis gave him a fierce look: "This is the order of the king. I have followed his will and successfully drove the Greek barbarians into Dukeya! Do you think the next step? Will they be better?!"

Tisafonis fingered the vast mountains in front of him, and said fiercely: "The steep and narrow mountain roads, the forests of snakes and insects, and the ferocious Dukya mountain people will devour their courage! Even if they barely pass it. Dukea, there are Orontas' army waiting for them! Even if Orontas can't stop them, they will still meet the Karubians, Cardans, Macronians... Let these barbarians fight each other! I think how many of the Greek barbarians can return to Greece in the end?!"

He sneered and said: "We don't have to spend our time and energy here, Asia Minor still has important things to do. Withdraw! Go back!" He shouted bluntly, and then turned around, unintentionally. Seeing Alireus' expressionless face not far away, he was taken aback for a moment, and subconsciously looked back at the rolling mountains again: It turned out that capturing the leader of the Greek mercenary was already a great achievement. When everything went well, he had a new idea, which resulted in the death of Mithradat and Artauzuus, and more than 10,000 soldiers suffered casualties, which greatly reduced his merits. Next, I hope that the Greeks will be annihilated in the mountains as they thought, so that they can relieve their hatred!

But, is it really possible?

……………………………………

The mercenaries reached the edge of the Dukya Mountains on the second day and began camping. The next action will depend on whether Mariji’s mission to the Dukya tribe can succeed.

Daves and the other leaders sent Mariji to the mountain pass. He was accompanied by dozens of soldiers led by Shiros. They drove several panniers, loaded with mercenaries from the dead Persian soldiers. The armors, shields, and spears of Duke’s are all weapons and equipment that the Dukeya mountain people lack. In addition, there are more than a dozen Dukeyas, mainly Daves let Merses intercept from the Persian village. Coming slave.

"Marigi, everything is up to you!" Daves gave him a strong hug, and then whispered in his ear: "If things don't go well, get out as soon as possible, and Hiros will help you escape. Come back. It’s okay if the negotiation fails, we can still push through, your safety is the most important thing."

Maliji was taken aback, looked at the other leaders behind Daves, and then said loudly: "Don't worry, with these weapons, and the Dukeyas, our negotiations have been half-successful! I used to He has done many transactions with the leader of this tribe, Kang Moro, and I still know him well. He has always been very ambitious and tried his best to make the tribe strong and monopolize the mountains of Armenia, Dukya and Medea. Trade channel, so he has fought with the surrounding tribes. I believe our proposal will make him very interested!"

"I hope so." Timathon stepped forward and urged stiffly: "You'd better hurry up, don't forget, we can only wait for you here for one day!"

Marigi glanced at him, but said nothing.

Daves ignored Timathon either, but went forward and gave Silos a stronger hug. For Hilos, who strongly urged to go and tried to persuade him to no avail, Daves knew that his choice was right. Only this most powerful confidant as an entourage would convince Mariji that: in any case, Dave Sidu will not give up on them easily.

Davers took his gratitude to heart and said to Hiros: "Come back safely, brother!"

Silos took a step back and solemnly delivered a military salute.

Davers watched them walk into the forest until the dense trees completely obscured them...

"It feels really strange that we were driven here by Persians, and we actually have to rely on a Persian to help us out of danger." Kriano said in a weird tone.

"Don't think so much, Kriano. We are all looking forward to the success of this Persian now, don't we?" Zantiparis said lightly.

"Perhaps this is the arrangement of the gods, and they are happy with this wonderful collision of fate." Xenophon's eyes are full of expectation: "And now we only have to wait patiently."

"Be prepared for battle besides waiting." Kerry Thorpes reminded everyone. After speaking, he turned back to camp.

………………………………

On this day, the mercenary leaders banned all soldiers from going out to prevent these looting and idle mercenaries from clashing with the mountain folks of Dukya, which would affect their plans and also let the whole army Raise your guard and defend against attacks from Dukeya or Persians.

But nothing happened this day. Only occasionally, there are a few Dukya mountain people wearing short fur coats with red stripes on their faces, wandering around the camp with short axes in hand and bows and arrows on their backs.

The soldiers waited and watched and commented.

Compared with the ease of the soldiers, the leaders have been nervously worried about whether the plan will be accepted by the Duques, especially Daves, who did not sleep well all night.

Until the next morning, Asistes broke into the big tent and shook him up: "Marigi is back!"

Davers became excited, and his sleep was gone.

"The leader, Camoro, the leader of the Dukeya tribe, has listened to my advice and is willing to form an alliance with us!" Mariji's excited shout came from behind Asistes.

"Great!" Daves jumped up, put his hands on Mariji's shoulders, and said happily: "You saved the entire mercenary, and all the Greek soldiers must thank you!"

A smile appeared on Mariji's face, and then he showed a look of embarrassment: "Heros and the others were not able to come back because Camoro wanted to entertain them well."

Davers was taken aback, he heard the strange voice of Mariji, and asked with an ugly face: "Hostage?"

Maliji hurriedly explained: "Yes, for safety, because Kang Molo will personally discuss the alliance with the leaders!"

Davos's face was slightly relieved, and he asked urgently: "When and where?"

"Originally, he wanted you to go to the cottage to negotiate, but I refused. I fought hard and was threatened by him several times with a knife. After repeated arguments, I decided to settle at the foot of the mountain forest in front. The time is today. In the afternoon." Mariji emphasized the difficulty of his negotiation.

"This afternoon...at the foot of the mountain ahead..." Daves meditated, then raised his eyebrows and said: "It seems that this Comoro is in an urgent mood to form an alliance!"

"Yes, boss!" Maliji had a bright face.

"What are you waiting for! Come with me to find Kerry Thorpes and the others!" After that, the doctor strode out.

……………………………………

In the afternoon, Grithorpes, Kriano and Davos led fifty Spartans to the foot of the mountain under the guidance of Mariji. In order to prevent the repetition of the leader of Clearkus who was killed by a net, the other leaders of the mercenaries lined up at the mountain pass one mile away from the foot of the mountain.

"It's right there." Mariji's finger: Not far away, there is a tree stump larger than a Greek soldier's round shield. A wooden pier, beside the wooden post, there is a curved path that extends up to the depths of the mountain...

"The Dukeya leader is a caring person." As the proponent of this plan, Daves must show confidence in it, so he was the first to walk over and push away the dust and fallen leaves on the wooden pier. sit down.

Kerry Thorpes also sat down calmly.

Criano looked around, then sat down slowly.

Marigi stood directly beside Davers.

At this time, it is already late autumn. When marching in the Tigris Valley before, the climate was fairly warm. In the Dukya Mountains, the weather turned cooler, the green grass began to wither, the mountain wind blew, the leaves continued to fall, and a thick layer was spread on the ground.

Kerry Thorpes looked up at the beginning of the bare branches, and said worriedly: "We must pass through this mountain area as soon as possible, otherwise winter will come and the mountains will be colder, and the soldiers don’t have thick clothing to keep warm..." /

Greethorpes' words reminded Daves that he had never thought about it before.

When the three of Kerithorpes began to discuss how to cope with the arrival of winter, the Dukeya mountain people came: dozens of sturdy, mature men, and an old man in weird costume.
