Chapter 36
"Perhaps they would say, 'Great forefathers! It was your heroic deeds that gave us strength! It boosted our confidence! It allowed us to accomplish an unprecedented feat!! '"
"Will there be such a day?" "…" Timason's breathing quickened. He clenched his fists and muttered.
The leaders were also tempted by the Devers' hypothesis and were intoxicated. But they did not know that in history, a few decades later, a Macedonian named Alexander used the Greek retreat to inspire his soldiers to embark on a journey to attack the Persia Empire …
While the soldiers were intoxicated by the beautiful scenery created by the Devers, the Devers reached out and took a wooden stick from Asistes. He changed the topic and said, "Soldiers, some of you might ask, 'Devers, you said it so well, but there is a key problem. First, we have to return to Greece safely. '"
Seeing that the soldiers were still listening attentively, the Devers continued, "I don't want to say much about the battle. Because Chalisops, Timazon, and the other leaders, as well as all of you present here, have rich battle experience. Most of you have participated in the battle against Athens and won. This is not something the Persia people, who have enjoyed a comfortable life all year round, can compare to. "
Hearing this, Xenophon curled his lips.
"What I want to say is, in such a difficult situation, each of us is like the wooden stick in my hand —" The Devers picked up the wooden stick and broke it in two with a gentle force. Then, he broke another one. "It is very easy to break. But when they are all gathered together — "The Devers grabbed all the remaining wooden sticks and walked to the side of a tall and strong replica soldier. He asked," Brother, what is your name? "
"Erbertus," the soldier said.
"Can you break it if you try?"
The soldiers stared intently at Erbers. His face was flushed red as he tried to break a wooden stick with all his might, but it was all in vain.
"Thank you, brother!" The Devers patted him on the shoulder to express his gratitude.
Erbertus' face was red as he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Soldiers, you have all seen it. A lone stick could easily be broken by a young man as thin as I am. But when they come together, even the strongest warrior can't do anything to them even if he uses all his strength. What does this mean? "
Xenophon nodded. He now knew the Devers' intentions. Of course, he wasn't the only one who was smart. A soldier shouted, "Unite! It was unity! After being reminded by some of the soldiers, everyone came to a realization.
"That's right, unity!" At this point, Devers had completely let go of himself. He was in high spirits and even changed the way he addressed them. "Brothers, we come from various city-states in Greece. Because of our different customs and personalities, there are some small conflicts and conflicts. But we are all Greeks of the same blood, and with the great goal of returning home safely and making history, any internal problems should melt away like snow in the sun! We must be like our ancestors who resisted the invasion of the Persia. We must be closely united and not be shaken by the rumors of the Persia. We can rest assured that our backs will be protected by our teammates! Not only must we be united in spirit, but we must also be united in wisdom. When facing difficulties on the way back, brothers, don't leave all the problems to the leaders to solve. You have to take the initiative to think of solutions. As long as we think of solutions together, no problem will be difficult for us!
Brothers, let us be united as one person! Then this person's strength can be as strong as Ares! Wisdom as deep as the Athens Lina! The enemies and difficulties on the way will be easily crushed by us! " At this point, the Devers raised his fists and shouted, "Brothers, please remember, as long as we are united, we can create miracles! We are creating history with every step we take! Let us fight side by side! "
"Wow!!!" The cheers from the audience shook the heavens and earth and lasted for a long time.
"Devers! Devers! " The audience shouted his name, and many of them shed tears of excitement. Someone even begged, "Please say a few more words! Devers, say a few more words … "
As soon as the Devers walked to the wooden platform, the soldiers crowded around him. They lifted him up together and passed him down from the back, like a general who had returned from victory.
This stunned Creano, who was about to go on stage. The morale of the soldiers had already been raised to such an extent. Was there still a need for the others to go up?
"At least in terms of speech, he is better than any of us!" Zantiparis praised sincerely.
"War is not fought with words. In the end, we still have to settle it with spears and shields!" Timason said unwillingly.
Looking at the Devers who were thrown up in the distance, it was impossible for Xenophon to say that he was not jealous. Because Hieronymus was not good with words, Xenophon obtained the consent of Chalisopus and prepared to go on stage in place of the leader. He had made careful preparations and wanted to show his talents in front of the whole army, but now the situation …
Chalisopus actually agreed with Timason's words in his heart. The Sparta had always hated the eloquence of the Athens people, just as the Athens people hated the old-fashioned Sparta people. But he also had to admit that the Devers' performance exceeded his imagination, not only achieving but also exceeding the goal of inspiring the whole army. It seemed that this young man was chosen as the leader not just because he borrowed the name of a god, but also because he had his own talent …
The platoon jarls of the Menon Barracks were also full of surprise. Watching the Devers being surrounded and cheered by the soldiers of the other barracks, even Amyntas, who had some opinions about the Devers being elected as the leader, could not help but say to Antonios, "Our new leader seems to be pretty good." After all, he had previously called the Devers "little ones".
Antonios smiled. Devers, oh Devers, you always surprise people!
… …
Finally, Chalisopus went up again and announced that they would break camp tomorrow and march north. He also informed the whole army of what they needed to pay attention to and prepare for.
The meeting of the whole army was over.
The soldiers who dispersed in all directions were still recalling the Devers' speech with relish, praising one after another: this' Blessed 'really lived up to his name!
The soldiers of the Devers Barracks surrounded their new leader amidst a chorus of praise. He returned to camp with his head held high, and then told the remaining soldiers about his deeds.
The Devers finally got rid of the excited soldiers and returned to his original tent. Only then did he suddenly remember that Menon's tent was his new home.
When he walked to his new home, Mercies was standing at the entrance of the tent. He came up and said with a strange expression, "Devers, someone is waiting for you inside."
"Who is it?"
"You'll know when you go in." Mercies pouted at the tent with a rather wretched expression.
The Devers curiously lifted the curtain, and in the center of the tent stood a person, a woman, a tall and graceful woman …
Ever since Dyvers was reincarnated, he had seen Greek and Egyptian women of this era in the supply camp of Mercies and the medical camp of Herpes. Some of them were quite beautiful, but none of them could arouse his desire just by looking at their backs …
