Vol 2 Chapter 8: Arrivals

Davers looked up and looked at the three-layer paddle ship next to him, only to see someone waving to him on the side of the ship.
"Hey, Xenophon, I thought I didn't have a chance to say goodbye to you!"
"Davers, I accepted the request of Anak West, and rushed to Byzantium, ready to regroup our mercenaries and rush to Asia Minor. I didn't expect you to go to Great Greece! Stay, let us Continue to fight side by side!" Xenophon made a sincere request to Davers.
Daves was in danger, then shrugged and said seriously: "Unfortunately, I have signed an agreement with Turui and swore to Hades!"
"That... it’s too unfortunate!" Xenophon, who respected the gods, showed a regretful look: "We can't fight together!..."
"It seems that Sparta is going to fight Persia. I can only wish you to be sheltered by Zeus in the next battle!" Daves said this from the heart.
"I also wish you the same!" Xenophon said sincerely: "I would like to invite you to Athens to see my teacher Socrates, he will be very interested in your novel ideas! And one of his students, my friend Plato, is somewhat similar to yours. You two will be friends! Unfortunately..."
"One day I will go to Athens! I believe that you have already finished the story of our battle in Persia, don't forget to send me a copy." Daphus only knows that Xenophon later wrote "The Long March", but not I remember the life experience of Xenophon. After all, he was not a historian in his previous life.
"Do not worry, I will give you more copy." Xenophon laughed.
Daves vaguely remembered that Socrates was sinned and poisoned by the Athenian authorities. He was not clear at the specific time, but he remembered that Socrates could have chosen to be driven out of Athens. He insisted on staying and wanted to awaken numbness with death. Athens citizens. So Daves gave up the decision to remind Xenophon, just waved and said: "Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
Who knows this wave, goodbye is already a sea of ​​sang, friends become enemies. Unpredictable things, embarrassing...
As the fleet progressed, the ship of Sparta gradually disappeared under the blue sky...
When Burkes saw that Davers was still standing at the stern, he could not help but walked over and said, "I still want your Athens friend?"
"Xenophon is a talented and capable person!" Dafoss lost, after all, Xenophon was the first historical celebrity to connect the world with his past lives.
"Athens is relying on a group of talented people to create its brilliance!" Burkes said with deep feeling: "Even if we are also exposed to the light of Athens, we have established The sight of prosperity!"
"Oh, is it?" The words of Burkes succeeded in the interest of Davers.
"At the time, the leaders responsible for the formation of Turri were two highly capable Athenians, Lamboun and Selkolitus, and the famous Athenian scholar Protagoras enacted laws for Turif, Athens also Invited the famous Greek engineer Hippodamus to design the city for Turiyi, responsible for the construction... There are also two Athens VIPs who moved to Turui, one is Herod, who wrote "History", one is The famous rhetorician Tisiyas, and even the Spartan Kryan Derridas, commanded the battle for Turii. So, Turui can keep peace with Crotone and to the north; Tarantum vie for the Celes Plain; westward, defending against the Lukanians and the Brutites; to the east; strengthening trade with Greece. Therefore, it became a strong country of the great Greece!" Burkes recalled the past, saying I am dancing.
Davers listened carefully.
Then, Burkes's proud look became bleak: "Unfortunately, Athens lost to Sparta. Now Sparta is the Greek hegemon..."
"Do you have a big influence on Turui?" Daves asked urgently.
Burkes didn't want to say more, only one sentence: "You will arrive in Turui and you will know slowly."
Davers smiled and comforted him: "You don't have to worry, Sparta's dominance must not last long."
The amazing words of Davers immediately attracted the attention of Burkes: "Why?"
"Because the Spartans began to accept bribes." Daves half-jokingly said half-heartedly: "The unique system that came to Kuko for Sparta was intended to train Spartan citizens into fierce warriors. In order to suppress the number of black sergeants who are much more numerous than the Spartans, they will dominate Greece. To this end, all Spartan citizens will maintain a simple and simple life in order to guarantee basic equality, otherwise there will be Sparta Citizens raised objections, 'Why do you eat well and wear warm clothes? I have to accept cruel training from an early age. I have to be 30 years old to be separated from the single life of the military camp.' So they closed the country, prohibited commercial trade, and prohibited the use of it more. Carrying money, prohibiting debate, prohibiting drama, prohibiting poetry, prohibiting writing and selling other books besides military... Everyone says that Spartan warriors are terrible because Spartans have no other fun, fighting and killing are Their only fun! Now, Sparta has reached the Greek hegemony, strategically required to be stationed, their fleet needs to cruise, and Spartans go abroad. It’s half a year away, and of course you’ll be exposed to things that they haven’t touched before. It’s not easy to cultivate a simple and simple life, but it’s too easy to destroy this life! Let the Spartans fight the Greek fight. The spirit is eroded and how long Spartan's hegemony can last!!"
Burkes has never heard anyone analyze the Spartan political system in such a simple and vivid language, just like a sharp dagger that pierces the fragile core of the Spartan system, which sounds very reasonable. He looked at Davers in a daze. The young man made him feel a little awe. He suddenly remembered the rumor that Davers was a "god". He opened his mouth and found that the scorpion was dry and coughed a few times. Sound, can not help but ask: "If ... if so, then in Greece, who will be the opponent of Sparta?"
Davers shrugged: "I am not a god, how can I know." He said, he looked up and looked up at the blue sky and the seagulls flying, thebes, Macedonia... a lot of flashes in his mind The name of the city state, I do not know why the heart has raised a hero...
.................................
After the Spartan warship interception, Burkes was afraid of another accident and ordered the fleet to work day and night.
After arriving in Euboea a few days later, I went ashore to replenish food and fresh water, then sailed through the Cyclades and bypassed the Attica Peninsula in Athens. Due to the lack of time to go ashore, Davers could only regret it on board. Looking westward to the famous Athens, which is not in sight. ~EbookFREE.me~ Then, the fleet traveled to Algos and carefully bypassed the Peloponnese peninsula until it reached Zakynthos Island. Only then went ashore to rest for one night. The next day, he continued to sail north to Kokkira Island, when he turned to the west and entered the Taranto Bay named after the great Greek powerhouse Tarantum.
This is a calm seaport, the damp sea breeze looks down on a wave of waves, the blue water is quiet like a smooth blue silk, countless ships are like a shuttle shuttle, weaving on this huge blue silk A beautiful picture.
The mercenaries saw this beautiful scene, the body and mind that had been exhausted by the long-term sea-air, suddenly became excited and began to laugh loudly.
This small fleet of Burkes also caught the attention of those who were concerned. Several sails on the sails with the pattern of "People riding a dolphin" greeted them.
"It's okay, it's Tarantum's cruise ship." Burkes was telling Daves that the fleet's pilotship had already greeted him.
"Is we entering the waters controlled by Tarantum?" Daves asked curiously.
"Not yet. This is just an agreement between several city-states in the Gulf, keeping them ventilated, just in case," Burkes explained.
Seeing the warship of Tarantum turned and left, the fleet continued to move forward...
About an hour later, Bourges said in front of his finger, "The front is Turui."
Dafoss was busy holding the ship's side, and his eyes widened. The road was more than 500 meters ahead. It was a green coastline. One of the white "streamers" went from west to east and went straight into the sea. At the end of the "streamers", there were countless stars. The white sails gathered, and thousands of seagulls hovered in the sky, but did not see the shadow of the city...
