After the defeat of Athens in the Peloponnesian War and the brutal rule of the "Thirty Tyrants", the people of Athens were more or less aware of the flaws in the system, but no one had ever said that they had completely rejected Athenian democracy like Davers. The deafening words of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info were like a thunderclap, so that Xenophon didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he was in a trance: "...... Could it be that Sparta ...... Is it the best? ”

"Sparta?!" Davers sneered: "When it decided to turn its own compatriots into Heuras (referring to the Messenians), it was doomed that it would never be strong!" As valiant as the Spartan warriors were, thousands of Spartan warriors had to suppress ten times its number of slaves, and its city-state was like a volcano that would erupt in the event of a major defeat. ”

"Davers, Sparta is now the most powerful city-state in Greece!" Oliver chimed in.

"Then let's wait and see how powerful it can last for a few years!" Davers replied confidently. He vaguely remembered that it wasn't long before Greece went to war again, and Sparta was defeated by the rising Thebes, thus declining.

"Is this an oracle?" Several teammates looked surprised.

Davers laughed but didn't answer.

"So, which city-state has the best system?" Xenophon asked unwillingly.

Davers also smiled mysteriously in return.

At this time, Xenophon seemed to have regained his calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was turbulent, and what he had been accustomed to and believed for decades was beaten to the ground by Davers's words, and he did not completely lose his temper, but relied on Socrates' years of teaching, which made him better at learning and thinking independently than ordinary people.

He couldn't stay any longer, and he had to go back and think about what Davers had said. So, say goodbye to Davers.

Before leaving, Davers asked seemingly casually, "Xenophon, have you ever commanded an army before?" ”

"Served as a cavalry captain." Xenophon replied hastily.

Looking at Xenophon's distant back, Davers's expression became solemn: as a student of Socrates, Xenophon was obviously far more knowledgeable than his teammates; However, as a newcomer to Athenians, who did not have a significant reputation, and did not have a wealth of mercenary experience, and was still only an adjutant to the leader of Proxinus, how could Xenophon lead this retreat?!

Remembering that the author of "The Long March" was Xenophon himself, Davers inevitably had doubts: Did Xenophon put the credit of others on himself?

"Davers, are Athens and Sparta really that bad?" Compared to the others who could hear the clouds, Shilos obviously understood, so he was even more confused.

Davers nodded and sighed: "If it were in a time of peace, Athens and Sparta would have lived well, but this is an era when you will perish if you don't forge ahead!" ”

Seeros didn't seem to understand, and couldn't help but ask the same question as Xenophon: "So is there a city-state in the Mediterranean with a better system than Athens and Sparta?" ”

Davers looked at Shiros's curious and eager eyes, and turned his head: on the horizon, the sunset emitted its last afterglow before it fell, looking at the clouds dyed red, remembering the future Mediterranean world, where wars were frequent and powerful states were repeated, like a marquee, until the emperor appeared, and the dazzling light shone on the Western world for more than two thousand years......

A wave of pride suddenly rose in Davers's heart, and this time he did not refuse to answer, but said affirmatively: "Not now." If you and I can live forever, maybe one day you can see! ”

……………………………

Early in the morning, Davers was in a daze when he heard the noise of people outside the house.

"Wake up! Wake up! My nephew woke up!! Antonios burst into the house ecstatically and hugged Davers: "Thank you! Thank you! Acistrius, he's alive!! ”

Davers was not fully awake yet, and asked in a daze, "Really?" ”

"It's true!" Hurps, who followed him, said excitedly: "Assistes is awake!" His body temperature was not as hot as yesterday, and although he was still very weak, he was able to drink porridge made of bread. Davers, what you taught really works! ”

Facing the admiring gaze of Herps, Davers's hanging heart finally landed, he held back his excitement, and said calmly: "Although Arcistes is out of danger, he can't relax yet, continue to take care of him according to the method he said before, and let him return to normal as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes!" Herps replied respectfully.

"Davers, there's a lot of people out there who want to see you." Shilos said as he entered.

"Oh, it's Capus, they're all surprised to hear that Axistes has come to life, and they must come and see you, probably for your help." Antonios replied with some shame: Davers put so much effort into saving his nephew that he might even pray to Hades. And before he can reciprocate, he may have to bring him new troubles.

"Cappus?" Davers had no impression of the name.

"Another heavy infantry squadron leader in our camp." Shilos explained on the side.

Davers groaned for a moment, and immediately stood up: "Let's go out, don't keep them waiting." ”

Surrounded by the crowd, he walked out of the house.

"Look, Davers is out!"

"This is Davers? Too young! ”

"Don't look young, he's a real patron of Hades! Otherwise, how could Arcistes be saved by him. The appearance of Assistes in a coma before, you and I have not seen it. ”

"Davos, I have a brother who is also wounded like Acestes, hot and unconscious, I hope I can get your help!"

"I also have a ...... of one of my men injured"

"And my ......"

In the small courtyard, the crowded people waved their arms desperately, shouting like a raging tide, wave after wave.

In the face of some out-of-control scenes, everyone was a little nervous, but Dai Fus's expression remained unchanged, as a cadre promoted from the bottom in his previous life, he had seen many mass petitions in towns, counties and cities. Even when he was the head of the village, he once held a meeting in the town, and caught up with the peasants who surrounded the town government to discuss the problem of land expropriation, and the leaders hid, and he was the only one who stood up and tried his best to persuade the agitated peasants to retreat in the face of the hoes and sticks in the hands of the peasants. This small scene in front of him really couldn't help him, not to mention that it was a good thing for him.

He raised his hand and shouted, "Everyone, please be quiet!" ”

"Quiet! Be quiet!! ......" Antonios, they also helped shout.

People are gradually calming down.

"I thank you for your trust!" Davers said excitedly: "We are all comrades-in-arms who fight together and face death together!" They are all good brothers who can rest assured that they can hand over their right shoulder to their teammates to protect! If any brother is injured, I will take Herps with me and do our best to treat him, and I will never abandon any of the wounded!! ”

Herps was thrilled to hear his name.

Hearing this, the soldiers in the courtyard were even more grateful.

"Great! Thanks Hades!! ”

"Thank you, Davers, you are our savior!!"

"Davers, you are our best brother! If you have any requirements in the future, I will do my best to do it for you!! ”

In this era, it is very common for soldiers to be injured and infected and die, and it is also a nightmare that plagues the army. Now, Davers has given them hope. And this man is so generous and kind, how can he not be touched by them!

"Davers! Davers! The shouts of ......" echoed persistently over the Menon barracks.
