Vol 2 Chapter 4: oracle

Davers’s chief accountant can accommodate no more than forty people, so he asked the captain Martius to lead 30 players (the number of guards has also expanded), and surrounded a large open space before the big account. The stranger entered the scene to snoop and lit the torch around...
Daphus’s gaze swept across everyone’s face:
First heavy infantry company captain - stable and substantial Capps
Second heavy infantry company captain - Antonios who is good at cultivating people and capturing fighters
The third heavy infantry company captain - brave Amintas
The fourth heavy infantry company leader - Alexis who is good at thinking and planning
The fifth heavy infantry company captain - his loyal heart Hilos
First light shield company captain - tactical ability of Epiphanes
Second Light Shield Corps Captain - Worshiping Devs's Zeppel for Devotion to God
And the heavy official Melsis, medical officer Hulps, the commander Assest, the cavalry captain Leddes (although his horses are running low, Daves still retains this preparation and soldiers, after all They already have a lot of experience in cavalry combat). There are also 28 team leaders who are experienced and talented team officers. Together with 1,400 veterans who have been through a long battle for more than a year. This is his team based on all the world!
Tonight, he must convince them that after a long period of battle, he continued to follow him to a foreign land thousands of miles away, and he did not have much confidence. When he thought of it, he coughed and said: "Brothers, you are playing a farce in Byzantine today, and it is a good performance! Kryand immediately expressed sympathy for our situation and is willing to provide us with some food. This is all your credit!"
Everyone laughed.
Oliver even said loudly: "The leader, this is not a farce, but a comedy. You don't see those Byzantine fainted!"
Everyone was laughing again. Only Martonis had a ghost in his heart and had to snicker.
"Yeah, comedy." Daphus sighed and said, "How long can this comedy last? We are trapped here, can't go anywhere, and dare not go. According to reliable news, Sparta Da has already prepared to fight with Persia. Spartan general Tiburon has already recruited soldiers from Ephesus. How can he let us go through our veterans who have experienced the Persian combat! It will take us long before we can fight again. On the land of Persia!"
"Is this true? I am tired of fighting with the Persians, I don't want to go back!"

How could this be?! I am ready to buy a piece of land in Crete and find a wife...

......
The crowd immediately rioted, and there was a lot of uneasiness in the discussion...
Daves did not answer them, but shook an amazing news: "And, the good-hearted Kryand is about to step down, replacing him with Aristacas of Sparta!"
Someone "had" a cry.
Davers glanced in that direction and said coldly: "Someone knows him, some people don't know. I tell you, this Spartan is famous in the war with Athens! It is not because he fights heroic. Rather, "Daves looks dignified, and the tone of the word is aggravated," he said: "He sold the defeated Greeks as slaves twice!!"
This is like pouring a can of cold water into the boiling oil pot, and everyone suddenly blasted the pot.
"Does he want to sell us?!"
"He has to dare to do this, I will fight with him!"
"We are free people, not the enemy of Sparta! They have no reason to do this, and this is a violation of the Greek tradition!"
"Sparta was already arrogant, and now it is the hegemon of Greece. It is not something that it has to say!"
......
Davers looked at the panicked people, and his voice was filled with emotions. He said: "We are free Greeks. We live in hardships for survival. But in the eyes of Spartans and in the eyes of those city-state citizens, we It is a landless people, a thief and a robber who threatens the stability of the city. Therefore, Anak West can deceive us at will (referring to the Spartan Navy chief in order to deceive them to Byzantium, said to send them Pay, the result will be destroyed when it arrives!) Kryand can also deceive us at random, deceive us out of the city, close the gate, not to give food, but also to face a large number of Thracians! Sparta is so powerful We dare to resist?! Or be sold as a slave, not enough to eat, not to wear warm, until one day is exhausted on farms and mines, and then thrown into the wilderness; or follow Sparta to fight, daily bruises, until The war died in an unknown wilderness; of course, it is also possible to be lucky enough to return home safely, but what about it?! As a landless free people, in any city-state is a foreigner, enjoy Not any right to the city, but also have been cast aside, to die in obscurity until ...... "
Everyone listened quietly, quiet enough to hear someone crying...
At this time, Davers was also full of tears: "Is this the result of the year we want to fight back to the hometown in Persia? We don't want the right to a stable and happy life. Isn't there a place in the world where we can live quietly for these poor free people!!!"
Daves’s heartfelt roar and question awakened every team officer in the room. They clenched their fists, clenched their teeth, and looked angry and painful...
Hilos stood up and shuddered and stretched out his hands and said, "Daves leader! Our commander! The goddess of Hades! Please tell us, what do we do?! What to do to get rid of our predicament? !!"
"Yes, Daves leader, we need your god!!" Hilos's words reminded many people that Capps and Antonios were excited to make a pleading to Davis.
When everyone's eyes were gathered on Daves's face, his look became incomparably solemn: "Last night... There was a man who entered my dream, and the golden light that he had spread out made me unable to see his appearance... ...He pulled me out of bed, through the window, and flew into the air... I looked down with fear, and the Mediterranean appeared as clear to me in the same picture... The Peloponnesian Peninsula is like a hand The hammer went deep into the sea, and Italy, next to it in the west, was like a leather boots... and further west, I saw the pillar of Hercules as a doorkeeper separating the Mediterranean from the ocean... Egypt The Mediterranean coast is like a long green carpet that stretches to Afrika..."
Dave's dreamy narrative attracted everyone~EbookFREE.me~ They found out that the Mediterranean was such a look against their own geography, which made them believe in Davers's words.
"At this time, the person who gave out the golden light said a word to me?"
"What did he say?" everyone asked.
"He said, 'Davers, the mission of you and your soldiers is in the West of the Mediterranean!', when I finished, I pushed me out of the air, and then I woke up." Daves said with a lingering heart. I am still in a dream.
"The West of the Mediterranean, where is that?"
"In Sicily?"
"It may be Italy."
"Iberia is also possible."
"Why not be Nubia."
"Who is that golden light man, Hatdis?"
"How could Hades have golden light? It should be Athena!"
.........
At the time of everyone's speculation, Davers sighed. Since he became a leader, he deliberately avoided the identity of his "God", but earned his trust through his own ability. But this time it’s a big deal. He has to resort to the Greek gods again. He deliberately vaguely said the gods.
Because the gods are ambiguous. For example, in the past, Asia Minor had a Lydia kingdom. To fight with Persia, specially to Delphi, spend a lot of money to ask for the Apollo gods, and the said: A great country will be destroyed. The Lydians went back to the war with joy, and the result was the demise of the Lydia kingdom. The explanation of the Apollo priest is: In Asia Minor, the Kingdom of Lydia is also a big country.
