Chapter 5 The Blessed One

Davos fearfully walked through the crowded camp passage and almost tripped several times.When he opened the curtain and got into the tent, he was greeted by four pairs of eyes with strange expressions.

Compared to the bustle outside, it was very quiet inside the tent.

"Davos, little Cyrus...he's dead!" Olivers said in a strange tone: "You guessed it, he's really dead!"

"I've heard what others said." Davos sat back on his "bed" and his mood had calmed down a bit.

Hilos looked at this comrade-in-arms with a calm look. As fellow villagers living in a village, they were familiar with each other, but at this moment it gave him a sense of strangeness: "Antonios came over just now and said, 'Little Cyrus' adjutant Alireus Send someone to inform us that Cyrus the Younger has been killed in battle. He is gathering the scattered soldiers and is preparing to join us'."

"Davos, you caused me not to sleep well last night, and I wanted to beat you up. I didn't expect you were right!" Matonis scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Next, what should we do?" Geogris' words made everyone look at Davos strangely again.

Davos was wondering what was going on, and Olivers said impatiently: "Tell me! What oracle did Hades give you?"

Davos looked at them in surprise.Only then did he understand why they had behaved strangely just now. It turned out that they thought he had received the favor of Hades, the king of Hades.

When the news of the death of Cyrus the Younger reached the ears of Hilos and the others, they were surprised that the truth was told by Davos, so they began to talk about Davos.After summarizing everyone's opinions, they were surprised to find that almost everyone thought that after the youngest companion who had been under their care woke up from a coma, he behaved and spoke very differently from his original self, as if A changed person (although Davos didn't speak much last night, the temperament of a modern person is naturally very different from that of an ancient person).

Therefore, they believe that Davos must have been lucky enough to meet Hades from hell and get help from Hades before he could return to the world.And the way he wakes up is kind of scary: when they find him on the battlefield, how to call him, he stays unconscious, and suddenly his eyes are wide open.

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

Getting such a privilege, Davers felt a little funny.In this ignorant age, the Greeks did not regard God as supreme like the Persians, but they were also very superstitious, and all aspects of life were closely related to the Greek gods.But Davers didn't dare to nod his head and admit it, because he only knew that there was such a historical event, but he didn't know the detailed process.

"What oracle! I just like to think of the worst in everything, so that I can anticipate and be prepared when I encounter danger."

Why do you like to think of the worst in everything?Don’t we know what kind of person you were before?A stupid boy who only knows how to fight actually knows how to think!It’s nothing but getting favored by God!Otherwise, even the tone of speaking has changed!It seems that Hades asked him to keep the secret? !The four of them looked at each other knowingly. They had been influenced by the stories their parents told about the gods every day since they were young. They knew that the gods were fickle and had many complicated taboos. For safety reasons, they stopped asking. Just looked at him expectantly.

This vision is very similar to the vision of the poor mountain people when Davos was a village official when they hoped that he, a college student, could change the face of the mountain village.But like you, I don’t know what to do?Davos 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?" Olivers couldn't help but ask.

Davos smiled and said nothing.But there was something strange in my heart: Since it is said on the Internet that Xenophon led this evacuation and also wrote a book, how come no one has heard of him?How could he be a mercenary leader?
"Where is Xenophon from? Is he in our team?" Hilos asked.

"He... is probably here. He... should be an Athenian." Regarding Xenophon's birthplace, Davos still knew. After all, Xenophon was an ancient Western writer, military strategist, and Socrates. disciple.

"When I have time, I will ask people in other camps." Hilos said solemnly.

"Don't be someone from Clearcus! Otherwise, we won't be able to find him!" Geogris said.The relationship between the two leaders, Clearkus and Menon, was not good, which caused the mercenaries under him to hate each other.

"Isn't it just a fight? Just fight! We Thessalians are not afraid of these bastards from Cersonis!" Matonis said a little excitedly.

"Who are you going to fight?" The curtain was opened and a man walked in, it was Antonios.

Through the memory of this body, Davos knew that this was their squadron leader.But he is a mercenary after all. Apart from speaking the truth during the battle, he has no authority at other times.Everyone in the tent was still sitting and lying down, and no one stood up to salute.

"We were joking," Hilos said.

"It's a mess outside. You can still joke around here, not bad! Not bad!" Antonios said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

He looked at the people in the tent, and then said to Hilos: "Menon asked me to tell you little captains to comfort your brothers. Little Cyrus just died in an accident, and his troops are still there, so our The strength of Persia and the weakness of Persia have not changed. When we meet with Cyrus the Younger's adjutant Alyrus tomorrow, we will have at least 3 people! Then we will defeat the King of Persia! Haha, there will be many benefits next Yes! Maybe we will... we will support a new Persian king!!"

Antonios was satisfied with everyone's surprised expressions and was about to turn around and leave the tent, but was pulled by Hilos: "It's okay to comfort the brothers, but you have to make them full! From last night to now, everyone has eaten some raw horse meat. , I’m still hungry now! But there’s no news from Merses. If there’s no food, I can’t guarantee anything will happen!”

"That's right! That's right! If we don't have anything to eat, we'll quit!" Everyone took the opportunity to shout.

Antonios patted his stomach in embarrassment and said: "I am also hungry and my stomach is growling. Now, the entire military camp is short of food. Menon is urging Melses to find a way, and he himself goes to Proxenus Si, I heard that his camp suffered less losses yesterday. Even if the food is coming, it will not be much distributed to everyone, so everyone should just endure it for a day!" After Antonios finished speaking, he hurriedly got out of the tent.

Hilos sighed and said to everyone: "I'll go to another tent to have a look." After that, he followed out.As a team leader, he was in charge of nine people, and five of his subordinates lived in adjacent tents.

He had been struggling with things in his past life and this life, and he hadn't realized that he hadn't eaten. After hearing everyone's commotion, Davos's stomach began to growl.

He had no choice but to follow the example of others, wrapping himself in a sheep blanket and lying on the "bed" to reduce physical exertion.

　The protagonist of the previous novel was Poseidon's favored one, and this one is Hades.Author, do you have any ideas? ! !Laugh... Don't underestimate this God's Favorite. It will play a very important role in Davos's life, and its use and development will be far more profound than the previous book.

　　Updates continue and I hope your support will continue too! !
