Shocking (II)

"They might say, 'Great ancestors! It is your heroic deeds that have given us strength! It has boosted our confidence! It has allowed us to achieve unprecedented greatness!!'"

"Will that day come?" Timasion's breathing became rapid, and he clenched his fist and murmured.

The leaders were also tempted by Davos' hypothesis and became intoxicated. However, they didn't know that decades later, a Macedonian named Alexander inspired his soldiers with the retreat of thousands of Greeks and embarked on the march to attack the Persian Empire…

When the soldiers were all intoxicated by the beauty of Davos' fiction, Davos reached out to take a stick from Asistes and changed the topic, "Soldiers, someone might ask, 'Davos, you have said it so well, but there is a crucial problem. First of all, we need to return to Greece safely.'"

Seeing that the soldiers were still listening attentively, Davos continued, "I don't want to say much about the issue of fighting. Because the leaders such as Cheirisophus, Timasion, and all of you here have rich combat experience. Most of you have participated in the struggle against Athens and won in the end. This is not something that the Persians who have enjoyed peace all year round can compare with."

Hearing this, Xenophon curled his lips.

"What I want to say is that in such a difficult situation, each of us is like the stick in my hand—" Davos picked up the stick, and with a gentle push, broke it into two pieces. Then he broke another one, "It is easy to break it. But when they are all gathered together—" Davos grabbed all the remaining sticks and went to a tall and strong soldier on the side of the stage and asked, "Brother, what is your name?"

"Ebers," said the soldier.

"Can you try breaking it?"

The soldiers stared at Eberts and saw that his face was red, and he tried his best to break a stick full of sticks, but it was in vain.

"Thank you, brother!" Davos patted his shoulder to express his gratitude.

Ebers blushed and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Soldiers, you have all seen it. A single stick can be easily broken by a thin young man like me. But when they gather together, even the strongest warriors can't do anything to them even if they use all their strength. What does this mean?"

Xenophon nodded, he now knows the intention of Davos. Of course, he is not the only smart one, a soldier shouted, "Unity! Unity!…" After the reminder of some soldiers, everyone understood.

"That's right, unity!" At this point, Davos had completely let go. He was high-spirited and even changed his salutation, "Brothers, we are from various city-states in Greece, and due to our different customs and personalities, we usually have some small contradictions and small conflicts. However, we are all Greeks of the same blood and race, and under the great goal of safely returning to our hometown and creating history, any problems within us should be melted away like snow under the sun! We need to be like our ancestors who resisted the invasion of the Persians, tightly united and not be shaken by the rumors of the Persians, and give our backs to our teammates to protect! We not only need to be united in spirit, but also in wisdom. In the face of difficulties on our way back, brothers, don't leave all the problems to the leaders, and take the initiative to think of ways to solve them. As long as we can think of a solution together, then we won't have any problems!"

Brothers, let us unite like one person! Then this person's strength will be as strong as Ares'! Wisdom is as deep as Athena! The enemies and difficulties along the way will be easily crushed by us!" Speaking of this, Davos raised his fists and shouted, "Brothers, please remember that as long as we unite, we can create miracles! Every step forward is creating history! Let us fight together!!"

"Hua!!!…" The cheers from the audience shook the heavens and earth, and lasted for a long time.

"Davos! Davos!…" The crowd shouted his name, and many people shed tears of excitement. Some even begged, "Say a few more words! Davos, say a few more words…"

As soon as Davos walked to the wooden stage, the soldiers crowded around him. They lifted him up together and then passed him back and forth like a victorious general.

This made Cleanor, who was about to go on stage, dumbfounded, 'The morale of the soldiers has been stirred to such a degree, is it necessary for the others to go up?'

"At least in terms of speech, he is better than any of us!" praised Xanticles.

"Fighting a war doesn't depend on the mouth. In the end, we still have to use spears and shields to solve it!" Timasion said unwillingly.

Looking at Davos who was thrown up in the distance, Xenophon couldn't say that he wasn't jealous, because Hieronymus is not good with words, so Xenophon got the consent of Cheirisophus and was ready to fight for the leader. He had made careful preparations and wanted to show his talent in front of the whole army, but now…

In fact, Cheirisophus agreed with Timasion in his heart. The Spartans had always been tired of the Athenians' eloquence, just like how the Athenians hated the Spartans' old-fashioned conservatism. However, he had to admit that Davos' performance had exceeded his imagination, not only had he achieved it, but had also exceeded the goal of inspiring the whole army. It seems that this young man was chosen as the leader not only because of the name of the gods, but also because of his talent…

The captains of Menon's camp were also full of surprise. Seeing Davos being surrounded and cheered by the soldiers of the other camps, even Amintas, who had some opinions about Davos being elected as the leader, couldn't help but say to Antonios, "Our new leader seems to be good." It must be known that he had called Davos" little guy" before.

Antonios smiled: Davos, Davos, you always surprise people!

…

In the end, Krisophus went up again and announced that they would pull out the camp tomorrow and march north, and told the whole army what they should pay attention to and prepare.

The general assembly ended.

The scattered soldiers were still relishing the speech of Davos and praised him one after another. This "God's Favored" is indeed worthy of his reputation!

The soldiers of Davos' camp surrounded their new leader in praise and returned to the camp with their heads held high, and then they spread his deeds to the soldiers who stayed.

Davos finally got rid of the excited soldiers and returned to his original tent, and suddenly remembered that Meno's tent was his new home.

When he arrived at his new home, Mersis was standing at the entrance of the tent. He came up and said with a strange expression, "Davos, there is someone waiting for you inside."

"Who is it?"

"You will know once you go in." Mersis pouted his lips at the tent with a somewhat wretched expression.

Davos curiously lifted the curtain, and in the middle of the tent stood a woman, a tall and graceful woman…

Since Davos'rebirth, he had seen the Greek and Egyptian women of this era in the supply camp of Mersis and the medical camp of Herpus. They were quite beautiful, but there was no woman that could make his heart flutter just by looking at their back…

Where did Mersis find it? Davos couldn't help but swallow.
