Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"All the army!" the team officers shouted.

The soldiers in the river hurried back and were almost washed away by the water.

"There are a lot of big and round stones at the bottom of the river, so it's slippery and not going!" After the soldiers came ashore, they reported to the leaders.

"It seems that in the case of a Persian opposite, it is very difficult for us to cross the river from here!" Timar Song said helplessly, and other leaders also agreed. They watched the other side closely: the Persians had stopped moving forward, and they were close to the river bank. Their queues were about a mile long and they looked like no less than 20,000 people.

"It's the force of Ortas!" Criano said with some surprise.

Xenophon said with some regrets: "It seems that he grabbed us."

Zandiparis pointed at the other side with amazement and cried: "Look, he has recruited a lot of Kardans!"

Kardan? Davers didn't know about it, and he turned to look at Felicius.

“The Kardans are tribes living in Armenia. I heard that they are brave and aggressive. Persians like to recruit them to serve as heavy infantry.” Filipius explained, pointing his finger to the other side: “Hey, that is!”

In the direction of his fingers, Davers saw that some of the Persian military squad were wearing leather helmets, wearing leather robes, holding long shields, and holding a spear at the forefront.

"Otatas seems to be trying to stop us, but the Caldan is not our opponent!" Tima Song said unwillingly.

"But with this river, everything is hard to say." Zantitipis said slightly pessimistic.

“Let the soldiers camp and rest, and send people to explore whether the river has a better place to cross the river.” Customer Thorpe said calmly.

The order was conveyed and the troops retreated to a tree camp less than a mile from the Kentrich River.

Not long after, Ledes brought back a message: the Persians were not found on the river bank, but some Dukeya people were spotted in the forests not far away. This made the chiefs frown.

"Go and call Izam," said Thorpeps.

Izam was the son of the former leader of the Kosok Cont tribe, Comoros. As a result, in the 20 days of getting along with the Greeks, this energetic young man has had a strong curiosity about distant Greece. He does not want to go back to the closed cottage, wants to go out and make a decision, and get the consent of Comoros. After that, the mercenary took him.

After Izam got the news, he first glimpsed and immediately swore that those Dukeyas could never have been sent by the Croscott tribe. And volunteered to explore.

After getting the consent of the leaders, Ledes took him with him. Half an hour later, he came back and reported that those people were among the tribes who joined forces in the mountains to take the initiative to attack the Greek mercenaries, several of whom he had seen.

After Izam went out, Xenophon sighed and said, "I said, Comoros worked very well with us before. How could we just get rid of it and start to play our idea."

Krianno snorted: "For this Dukayan, don't be too convinced. How do you know that this Comoros son did not tell lies?! Who is Comoros, we have seen each, every After the second fight, we must talk about the ownership of the spoils and we argue for a long time, even a crock can not let go. Such a greedy person, now see us have to fight with the Persians, how can you let go of cheap good chance!"

"Under the circumstances, the covenant has expired, and there is no restriction on him!" Tima Song interjected.

"His son is in our hands!" Xenophon reminded.

"I heard that he has more than a dozen sons, and it is no big deal to die. And who knows if Comoros had made a good idea and let him do it?" Kryano retorted.

Sitting in the corner, Davers looked at the atmosphere in the account. Xenophon is an active and energetic person who has recently become more active with his familiarity with mercenary affairs. In the eyes of some leaders, he felt that he was too arrogant and would look for opportunities to beat him from time to time. Davers had advised him to converge. His answer was: "I didn't do anything wrong. Hades asked me to come here, not to let me please someone, but to save more than 10,000 Greek brothers. Life, contribute your strength!"

In comparison, the younger Davers is more stable. When he is a leader, he strives to behave in addition to the performance, earning respect and prestige for himself. He is usually very reserved and usually listens when he talks about things. Because he knows that these leaders have been on the battlefield for many years and have rich experience, which is worth learning and thinking.

"We all know that Comoros is a wise and intelligent person. Smart people know when to do something. Now the most important thing for the Kosovo Conte tribe is to quickly annex and digest the four tribes and let them integrate. In his tribe, he can really become his power. So when he just walked out of the mountains, he rushed to break up with us. I don’t think he would provoke us in the internal instability, he knows How strong our force is, especially there are many enemies around him.” Daves said with a whisper, Xenophon had a good relationship with him, and he had to break for him.

"So, let's spy on our Du Keya mountain people, as the kid said, the people of the tribes we defeated. They don't attack the Kosokante tribe, but dare to make a strong We." Kryano taunts ~www.novelmtl.com~ As you said before, they are looking at whether it is cheap or not. Daves responded with a astounding attitude.

Guest Sophos spoke: "Whether they are people of the Croscott tribe, on the plains, as long as we have the alert, we are not afraid of anyone. What is important now is to find a way to cross the river. Break through the blockade of Ortas and enter Armenia. Otherwise, the longer the time drags, the greater the difficulty."

The leaders are silent.

Time passed a day and nothing was found.

The next day, there was still no good news, but there was a lot of bad news: more and more Du Keya people in the nearby mountains, Ledes roughly estimated that there are more than a thousand people. The Persian soldiers on the opposite side seem to be increasing, and the sense of supply is rapidly decreasing. Soldiers who go out to collect firewood are also attacked by the Dukes from time to time...

The grim situation not only made the soldiers feel anxious, but even the leaders began to feel upset. When the leaders negotiated, Sylvester proposed: Let Izam return to the tribe and find his father Comoros to see if he could help the mercenaries to drive these Dukeyas.

I was ridiculed by Timothy, and there was even a quarrel between the two sides.

..........................................

On the third morning, Xenophon took two young warriors and entered the tabernacle with arrogance. It turned out that the two soldiers found a place where they could easily cross the river.

Upon hearing this news, the conflicts before the leaders disappeared and they were all excited.

Just to avoid the attention of the Persians on the other side, the guest Sophos changed the dress of a common soldier and walked with the soldiers to the river crossing place...

It’s hard to wait until he comes back and see the relaxed expression of the guest Thorpe. Everyone knows that the river has become a thing.
