Chapter 6: Chess player

After a quiet silence in the tent, I heard Olivers say: "It’s a pity that the little Cyrus died. He is a Persian prince, but he is very polite to people, he also likes to help people, and he looks very good. Handsome is very popular with women, even the Queen of Silesia has become his mistress. If he does not die, he will be a good king!"

Look good, can pick up a girl, is a good king? What is this **** logic! Daves secretly groaned.

"Yes! Little Cyrus does not look down on us like other Persians. He is really good to us Greeks! If he is a king, our Greeks will have a good relationship with the Persians!" said Giorgios. .

"And he is a warrior, not as weak as other Persians!" said Matonis.

"The most important thing is that he is very generous! Give us a lot of gold coins!" Oliver also emphasized that it led everyone to claim it.

Is this a memorial service for the small Cyrus? Daves was funny. According to the memory of this body, he couldn’t help but say: "Isn’t the little Cyrus generous? I don’t think so! You see, first of all, he owes us more than three months’ salary, and has never given it until King Silesia later reviewed the troops and sent money for four months."

"When we suspect that Cyrus is ready to fight with the Persian king and refuse to move forward, he agreed to increase our salary from one Dallik gold coin to one and a half in order to convince us. The money for the next two months is given by him. Don't forget, he once ordered us to threaten the King of Silesia, and the timid king gave him a lot of money. When we know the plan of the little Cyrus, when the meeting is a big trouble, small After Cyrus promised to capture Babylon, he gave us five silver coins for each of them. But, did he give it?"

For a long while, Oliver’s bitter answer: "He is dead!"

"You see, little Cyrus did not spend his own silver coin, and took us to this place about 3,000 miles from Greece - on a land full of dangerous enemies. If at the beginning, he told us Is going to fight with the Persian king, will we agree?"

Three people puppets shook their heads.

"He concealed the truth. Once he gave a little benefit, it was like taking the grass to lure the flock, and finally he couldn't agree with it." Daves said with exclamation: "Little Cyrus is a brilliant liar! What is the price?" If they didn’t pay, let us more than 10,000 Greeks fight for his plot, it’s amazing!”

The tent was quiet again, and soon Oliver began to cry: "Damn little Cyrus! Damn Persian! And the idiot Meinon! Every time we actively let us be pioneers, said Xiaolulu The gentleman will be grateful to us and give us more rewards. The idiot of Menon, not only has a bad mouth, but also a bad head, we will be killed by him sooner or later!...oh... my stomach... I am starving It!"

Davers saw Oliver's noisy there, and he was funny. I don’t say that I used to be intrigued in the government. On the TV, this Kangxi Emperor, the Qianlong Dynasty... is endless, even if you haven’t eaten pork, you have seen pigs running!

The little Cyrus was born in the conspiracy base of mankind - the court, the position of the military commander of the western Persia, it is so simple. Just watching him turn the Greeks' flickering group, you can see that his wrists are powerful. As for Menon, I am afraid that it is not stupid. As a mercenary leader, he may have known the plan of the little Cyrus and pushed his compatriots into the fire pit, but it is only a matter of greed.

"Daves, you can't say this before. You are real... really..." Mattonis asked cautiously.

Davers knew that Matonis had a good relationship with "self" because of his personality. So, he said: "Matonis, no matter what happened. I am still me, I have always been your good brother! Always thank you for your care! I hope you can continue to help me!" Concealed mention of the "God", Davers now wants to open, the social experience of more than 30 years of previous life wants to play a 19-year-old simple Greek, he does not want to disguise, can not pretend It’s better to let other people think so. This should be... good. Therefore, he does not deny or admit the vague answer.

Unexpectedly, the spirit of Matonis was uplifted: "You can rest assured! I am there, no one dares to bully you!"

"Duffus, can we go home?" The voice of Gio Gris was full of worries.

Apparently, Davis’s disclosure of Little Cyrus made them begin to doubt their own abilities.

Davers smiled. Although he did not understand the development of this historical event, the history of China told him that the emperor of a feudal dynasty hated the most rebellious. It should be the same when you want to come to the West. Moreover, they are Gentiles and invaders. Unless the mind is sick, the Persian kings will definitely destroy them completely, to shock all those who have a heart!

As for the attack on the Persian army, take down Babylon. Davers is not optimistic, otherwise the name of this incident should be called "Greek 10,000 people marching into the army" instead of "great retreat". However, he said: "Do not worry! We can go home smoothly."

He leaned his head and looked at other people's expressions a lot easier, and he sighed in his heart: these guys with simple minds are good. I don’t think about how dangerous the situation is now, and pinning my life on my “god” is also a kind of happiness.

Davers is thinking about it. When he feels a move, he suddenly remembers a movie "2012" that he saw in the past: when the disaster of the world is over, those rich and powerful can easily sit on the seven Noah’s Ark, while ordinary civilians want Look at luck... Yeah, when the pieces can only be placed at the mercy; if you are a chess player, you can hold your destiny in your own hands! But how can you be a chess player?

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

In the afternoon, the Hilos team was assigned half a bag of wheat flour and more than a dozen dates.

Everyone struggled and started making bread. Davers actively helped and asked while he was doing, because he had no theory to get from memory.

The practice of ancient Greek bread is actually similar to Chinese pasta, the most important thing is the ferment. Bread is the staple food of the Greeks. It is marching and fighting, and the yeast is carried with it, and it is well preserved.

After simmering the flour, put it on the iron plate In the evening, everyone ate the simple bread. Filled up the stomach and hurried to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Hilos wakes up and tells them: "The messenger of Alijos came and said, "He is going to bring troops back to his hometown of Asia." The leaders are not willing to go back empty-handed and promise to him if Alijos is willing to continue to attack Babylon with them. They are willing to serve him as the Persian king, and sent the customers of Sophos and Menon to mess with Ariesus."

"Why should you send Menon?" Mattonis asked inexplicably.

"Don't you know that Menon has a good relationship with Alijos?" Oliver smiled.

“Can they convince Alijos?” Georg Gris said worriedly.

Everyone turned their attention to Davis, and after a night, he has become their spiritual backbone. Daves felt a lot of pressure, but he did not escape, pondered for a while, then shook his head: Alijos was a Persian aristocrat, and he was previously said to be an adjutant of the small Cyrus and forced to participate in the rebellion. Now if I am confused with the Greeks again, once I fail, not only will he end himself, but his family will also be implicated. If he is really ambitious, he should immediately take over everything that is small and small, and immediately join the Greek mercenaries when he learns the first time of the death of the little Cyrus. It is only today that I want to go home. Obviously, after repeated considerations, he made a decision.

I got a negative reply and everyone showed a disappointing expression on her face.

"Brothers, these are the things that the leaders are worried about. Let's do what we should do." Hilos said busyly: "Mayon let us kill the excess livestock in the squad, and prepare to eat."

I can finally eat enough! This news temporarily dispelled the haze in everyone's heart.
