Chapter 5: The Divine Favor

Davers made his way through the already crowded passage of the camp in a panic, and nearly tripped several times. When he lifted the curtain and entered www.biquge.info the tent, he was greeted by four pairs of strange expressions.

Compared to the bustle outside, the inside of the tent is quiet.

"Davers, Cyrus the Younger...... He's dead! Oliver said in a strange tone: "You guessed it, he's really dead!" ”

"I've heard from others." Davers sat back on his "bed", feeling somewhat calmer.

Shilos looked at this calm-looking comrade-in-arms, as a fellow who lived in a village, they were more familiar with each other, but at this moment he gave him a sense of strangeness: "Just now Antonios came and said, 'Arilus, the lieutenant of Cyrus the Younger, has sent someone to inform us that Cyrus the Younger has died in battle. He is gathering the scattered soldiers to join us'. ”

"Davers, you didn't sleep well last night, and I wanted to beat you up. I didn't think you were right! Mattonis scratched his head in embarrassment.

"What do we do next?" Giogris's words made the eyes of Davers look strange again.

Davers was wondering what was going on, and Oliver was already impatient and said, "Say it! What oracle did Hades give you? ”

Davers looked at them in amazement. Only then did he realize why they had behaved strangely, and it turned out that he thought that he had won the favor of Hades, the king of Hades.

When the news of the death of Cyrus the Younger reached the ears of Shiros, they were surprised that the truth had been told by Davers, and they began to talk about Davers. After summarizing everyone's opinions, they were surprised to find that almost everyone thought that the youngest companion they had been taking care of had woken up from a coma, and he had been very different from the original one in both behavior and speech, as if he had changed (although Davers didn't talk much last night, the temperament of a modern person in his gestures was naturally very different from that of an ancient person).

Therefore, they believe that Davers must have been lucky enough to meet Hades from hell and was able to return to earth with the help of Hades. And the way he woke up was a little scary: when they found him on the battlefield, no matter how they called him, he was always unconscious, and suddenly his eyes widened.

When everyone was at a loss and helpless, this comrade-in-arms who received "divine help" obviously became a life-saving straw for them.

Davers was amused by such a special encounter. In this age of ignorance, the Greeks did not regard the gods as supreme as the Persians, but they were as superstitious as they were, and every aspect of their lives was closely related to the Greek gods. But Davers didn't dare to nod his head in acknowledgement, because he only knew that there was such a historical event, but he didn't know the detailed process.

"What an oracle! I just think about the worst in everything, so that I can be prepared for danger. ”

What everything loves to think badly! Don't we know what kind of person you used to be? A silly boy who only knows how to fight and brawl actually knows how to think! It's not about getting God's favor! Otherwise, even the taste of speech has changed! It seems that Hades told him to keep it a secret?! The four of them glanced at each other knowingly, and since they were children, they had been nurtured by their parents' daily stories about the gods, letting them know that the gods were fickle and had many complicated taboos, and for safety reasons, they no longer asked questions, but just looked at him expectantly.

This vision is similar to that of the poor mountain people who hoped that he, a college student, would change the face of the mountain village when Davers was a village official. But I don't know what to do like you. Davers sighed in his heart, and suddenly his heart moved, and asked, "Do you know Xenophon?" ”

The four shook their heads.

"You mean Xenophon can help us?" Oliver couldn't help but ask.

Davers smiled and didn't speak. But there was a little strange in my heart: since it was said on the Internet that Xenophon led this great retreat and wrote a book, how could no one have heard of him? He must be a mercenary leader!

"Where is Xenophon from? Is it in our ranks? Shilos asked.

He ...... Probably so. He...... It was supposed to be Athenians. "As for Xenophon's origin, Davers still knows, after all, Xenophon was an ancient Western writer, military strategist, and a disciple of Socrates.

"When I have time, I'll ask the people in the other camps." Shilos said solemnly.

"Don't be a man of Clearcus! Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find him! Giogris said. The relationship between the two chieftains, Clearcus and Menon, was very bad, which led to the enmity of his mercenaries.

"Isn't it just fighting! Hit it! We Thessalians aren't afraid of these mongrels from Kersonis! Mattonis said a little excitedly.

"Who are you going to hit?" The curtain was opened, and into a man, it was Antonios.

Through the memories of this body, Davers knew that this was their squadron leader. But after all, he is a mercenary, and he has no authority at other times except for what he says during the battle. The people in the tent were still sitting and lying down, and not one of them stood up and saluted.

"We're telling jokes." Shilos said.

"It's all going on outside. You guys can still joke around here, yes! Not bad! Antonios said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

He looked at the people in the tent, and then said to Shiros, "Menon asked me to tell you about these squad leaders, so that you can comfort your brothers. Cyrus the Younger only died in an accident, his troops are still there, so our strength and Persian weakness have not changed. Tomorrow we will meet with Arilus, the lieutenant of Cyrus the Younger, and we will have at least 30,000 men! Then go and defeat the king of Persia! Haha, there are many benefits next! Maybe we'll ...... We will have a new Persian king!! ”

Satisfied with everyone's surprised expressions, Antonios was about to turn around and go out of the tent, but was pulled by Shiros: "It's okay to comfort the brothers, but you have to feed them!" Since last night, everyone has eaten some raw horse meat, and they are still hungry! But there was no news from Merses. If I don't have anything to eat, I'm sure something will happen! ”

"That's right! That's right! If we don't have anything to eat, we won't do it! The crowd shouted.

Antonios patted his stomach in embarrassment and said, "I'm just as hungry and my stomach growls." Now the entire barracks are short of food. Menon was urging Mersis to find a way, and he himself went to Proxinus, having heard that his camp had suffered less losses yesterday. Even if the food is coming, it won't be distributed to everyone, so let's just endure it for a day! Antonios finished speaking, and hurriedly slipped out of the tent.

Shilos sighed and said to everyone, "I'll go to another tent and have a look." After that, he went out with him. He, the squad leader, was in charge of nine people, and five of his men lived in adjacent tents.

I had been struggling with the things of my past life and this life, and I didn't realize that I hadn't eaten all this time, and after hearing everyone's trouble, Davers's stomach began to growl.

He had to follow the example of everyone else, wrapped in a sheep blanket and lying on the "bed", which could reduce physical exertion.
