Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"...I pretended to be the Turil messenger. After several efforts, I finally reached Sparta. At the elders' meeting, I told the Spartan elders about the disaster that Turui suffered and asked them for reinforcements. Sparta The elders expressed sympathy for our experience in Turui, but there was no reinforcement to send, but a proof of recruitment permit..."

"Smart!" When Burkes said it, Ferris couldn't help but praise, and the other generals also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that Sparta did not care too much about Turai's help for Athens.

"Fortunately, we took measures in a timely manner, and Sparta can treat us with such an attitude." Kunogolata said on the side, several generals agreed. Regardless of whether Sparta changed his attitude because of the act of Turai expelling the descendants of Athens, he did not put Tuli in his heart. These generals who expressed support and recognition in the case of expelling the descendants of Athens All need this false identity to dispel the inner guilt.

Burkes glanced at the generals and continued: "When I arrived in Miletus, during the recruitment of mercenaries such as Drax and Seta, I heard a lot about the Greek mercenary led by Little Cyrus. Attacking Persia and attempting to squat."

Several generals nodded, don't look at Turui away from Asia Minor thousands of miles away, but this news they know, not to mention the frequent merchants and ships between the Mediterranean and the East, the first batch of mercenaries can only be stationed outside the city. However, there are always small business hawkers who even go to the military camp to do business, so that some news and stories are spread to the city.

"Greek mercenaries defeated the king of Persia, although the small Cyrus died, but on the way back to Greece, they also repeatedly defeated the Persian Governor of Asia Minor Tissaforus, the Armenian Governor Ortas, and said to kill Some famous generals who died in Persia! They marched thousands of miles and constantly fought against the local aborigines. There were many mountain races that made the Persians feel headaches. Generals, you said that such a Greek mercenary is Isn't it rich in combat experience? Is it amazingly powerful? Is it comparable to Spartans?"

"Don't you hire this army?" Someone in the general could not help but exclaimed: "Is that the Greek mercenary of Persian expedition?!"

"Yes, you generals." Burkes saw the look of surprise and excitement, and a stone in his heart finally landed: "The last time we fought with the Lucanias failed, not only because of Asiculodo. Yax’s negligence is also because citizens have long lived in peace and lacked combat experience."

In fact, after the invasion of the Lucanias by the Turais, they took the initiative to break into the territory of the Lucanias. It was not the will of Axiculodo Yaks. All the citizens of Tuli, including the generals. All are pushing, this strong desire to retaliate against the Lucanias prompted the entire army to sneak into the enemy's land, and the result was almost completely wiped out.

At this time, Burkes pushed the blame to Asiculodo Yax (this is also the scapegoat for the Turui Citizens' Congress after the fiasco at that time). Seeing the generals nodding their approval, they could not help but scorn, but on the mouth. Still seriously said: "I think if you can hire such an army, then the dangers of Turui can not only be lifted, but also a huge blow to the Lucanias. So I arranged to be stationed in the pub and Inquire, feel free to inquire about the whereabouts and movements of the Greek Expeditionary Force. Soon after, I learned that they arrived in Herakliya on the coast of the Xingxing Sea, but I also knew another bad news, 'Sparta and Persia are coming soon. In the war, Spartan general Tiburon was even appointed as the Governor of Asia Minor and rushed to Miley to start recruiting troops. 'I am afraid that this Greek expeditionary army will be recruited by Sparta, so I will fly to Hellers by night. And found them in Byzantium.

But most of the mercenaries are tired of fighting, not willing to stay away from home, to the distant and strange Turui, only the leader led by the Daves leader under the temptation of my high salary, in me I agree to accept some of their requests before agreeing to accept employment. And just after I led them out of Byzantine by boat, they were also intercepted by the Spartan fleet. It was originally said that the Spartan Asia Minor Governor Tiblon sent the messenger to let the entire Greek expedition fight for him. The troops were the best of the expeditionary forces, and several of the Persian generals actually died in their hands. It was only because I had a signed employment agreement in my hand, and I had a recruitment permit issued by the Spartan Elders Council, and I paid half a Talente bribe to the Spartan messenger before I was able to let the fleet release..."

"But you, after accepting the tasks we have given him, Burkes has gone through hardships and dangers, and even life-threatening. He did not fear or give up, but used his intelligence and tenacity to complete the recruitment. It should be said that it was completed. Exceeding our envisaged recruitment task! Not only did Turieri bring reinforcements, but also let us understand Sparta's attitude towards Turui, we should thank him! The citizens of Turui should thank him! "Ferris said with excitement, and took the lead."

The other generals also applauded, and the applause continued for a while.

Burkes didn't know what to say at this time.

Kunogolata stepped forward and said with sincerity: "Burkes, you are the hero of Turui! Please forgive me what I said, I should not be suspicious of you, just recently Turri. Financial problems make us a headache. Are you willing to accept my apology?!"

Burkes nodded and accepted.

Then, Neonsis also apologized.

Another general, Ansitanos, said: "Are we supposed to visit the Greek mercenary leader of the expedition Persia to express the welcome of Turui?"

"Ansitanos, I know that you want to know more about Persia from their mouths, to complete the sequel to your teacher Herodotus' great "History"." Kunogolata said in a positive color: " But now is not a good time, I admit that the team that Burkes said is really amazing. www.novelmtl.com~ But they are mercenaries and Gentiles after all! And we represent Turui! Everyone needs to know Soldiers who are accustomed to **** killings may also threaten themselves while shocking the enemy. Such examples are not uncommon. We cannot pamper them and create unnecessary fantasies. They pay too much attention to them and another employment. What do the military think?! What do the soldiers of Tarantum think again?!"

"That's right! They are just some free people, we spend money to hire them to fight for us!" Neonsis shouted.

Kunogolata took the opportunity and continued to say: "Neonsis is right! The mercenary is strong and mercenary. We pay, we are the employers. You don't reverse this relationship. !"

Although there was some disagreement with Kuno Gorata on the ruling philosophy, Fei Ruisi had to nod and said: "Cunogolata is right. We treat them according to the previous mercenary treatment, there is no need to pay too much attention."

At this time, Neonsis said: "Since we have a strong reinforcement, the Lukanias are about to launch an offensive. Are we going to revisit the solution?"

Kunogolata immediately said: "The villages and farms outside the city have been rebuilt, and the wheat seeds have been planted. We must repel them before the Lukarias once again destroy the citizens' property!"

"The last time we were defeated was because we were too aggressive and caused more than 10,000 citizens to be killed. Therefore, we must be careful! We must know that according to the news, the number of Lukanians may exceed tens of thousands." Prudently said: "And the number of our soldiers plus mercenaries, as well as the support of Tarantum, is no more than 9,000, including many citizens who are over forty years old."
