ancient greece mediterranean ruler

Chapter 15 Divine Doctor?

After Athens failed in the Peloponnesian War and experienced the brutal rule of the "Thirty Tyrants", the people of insight in Athens were more or less aware of the flaws in the system, but like Davos, they completely denied Athenian democracy. System, no one has ever said that before.These deafening words were like a thunderbolt, and Xenophon didn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he was in a daze: "...Could it be that Sparta...is the best?"

"Sparta?!" Davos sneered: "When it decided to turn its compatriots into helots (referring to the Messenians), it was destined that it would never be strong! Although Sparta The Da warriors were very brave, but thousands of Spartan warriors had to suppress ten times as many slaves as them. Its city-state was like a volcano. Once it suffered a major defeat, the volcano would erupt."

"Davos, Sparta is now the most powerful city-state in Greece!" Olivers interjected.

"Then let's wait and see how many years its power can last!" Davos replied confidently.He vaguely remembered that not long after, another war broke out in Greece, and Sparta was defeated by the rising Thebes, thus declining.

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

Davos smiled but didn't answer.

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

Davos also responded with a mysterious smile.

At this time, Xenophon seemed to have regained his composure on the surface, but in fact, he was in a state of ups and downs in his heart. His decades of habits and beliefs were shattered by Davos' words. He did not completely lose his composure. He relied on Socrates for many years. The teachings made him better at learning and independent thinking than ordinary people.

He was so restless that he could no longer stay. He wanted to go back and think carefully about what Davos said.So, bid farewell to Davos.

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

"Served as captain of the cavalry." Xenophon answered hastily.

Looking at Xenophon's retreating back, Davos's expression became solemn: As a student of Socrates, Xenophon's knowledge was obviously far beyond that of his teammates; but as an Athenian who had just arrived and whose reputation was not obvious, , and did not have rich 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, Davos would inevitably have doubts: Did Xenophon take credit for other people's achievements?
"Davos, are Athens and Sparta really that bad?" Compared to other people who heard it in a cloud, Hilos obviously understood it, so he was even more confused.

Davos nodded and sighed: "If it were in a peaceful time, Athens and Sparta would live very well, but this is an era where if you don't make progress, you will perish!"

Heros seemed to understand but couldn't help but ask the same question as Xenophon: "So are there any city-states in the Mediterranean with better institutions than Athens and Sparta?"

Davos looked at Hilos's curious and eager eyes, and turned his head: on the horizon, the sunset was exuding its last afterglow before falling, looking at the clouds dyed red, thinking of the Mediterranean world in the future, with frequent wars. , powerful countries emerged one after another, like a revolving lantern, until the great emperor appeared, and his dazzling light shone on the Western world for more than 2000 years...

A surge of pride suddenly rose in Davos's heart. 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 it!"

...............................

In the early morning, when Davos was in a haze of consciousness, he heard the roar of people outside the house.

"Wake up! Wake up! My nephew wakes up!!" Antonios burst into the house ecstatically and hugged Davos: "Thank you! Thank you! Asistes is alive!!"

Davos was not fully awake yet, so he asked in a daze: "Really?"

"It's true!" Helps said excitedly, "Asistes is awake! His body temperature is not as hot as yesterday. Although he is still very weak, he can already drink bread to survive. The porridge is gone. Davos, the method you taught really works!"

Facing the admiring gaze of Helps, Davos's hanging heart finally fell to the ground. He suppressed his excitement and said calmly: "Although Asistes is out of danger, he cannot relax yet and continue to follow the previous steps." Take care of him with the methods mentioned and let him return to normal as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" Helps replied respectfully.

"Davos, there are many people outside who want to see you." Hilos said as he entered.

"Oh, it's Capps and the others. They were very surprised when they heard that Asistes had woken up. They must come and see you. They may want your help." Antonios replied with some shame: Davos is here to save him. His nephew, who put in so much effort, might even have prayed to Hades.And before he reciprocates, he may cause him new troubles.

"Capps?" Davos was not impressed by this name.

"Another heavy infantry squadron leader in our camp." Hilos explained from the side.

Davos pondered for a moment, then stood up immediately: "Let's go out, don't keep them waiting."

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

"Look, Davos is out!"

"Is this Davos? Too young!"

"Despite his youth, he is the true patron of Hades! Otherwise, how could Asistes be saved by him? It's not like you and I have never seen Asistes in a coma before."

"Davos, one of my brothers is also injured like Asistes. He is hot and unconscious. I hope I can get your help!"

"One of my men is also injured..."

"And I……"

In the small courtyard, crowded people waved their arms desperately and shouted like a raging tide, one wave higher than the other.

Faced with a situation that was somewhat out of control, everyone was a little nervous, but Davos's expression remained unchanged. In his previous life, as a cadre promoted from the bottom, he had seen many petitions from the masses, whether in towns, counties or cities.Even when he was the village chief, he once held a meeting in the town, and the farmers gathered around the town government to demand an explanation over the land expropriation issue. The leaders all hid, but he was the only one who stood up and faced this group of passionate farmers with a hand in hand. Using hoes and sticks, they tried their best to persuade them to retreat.The small scene in front of him was really difficult for him, not to mention that for him, it was a good thing.

He raised his hands and shouted: "Everyone, please be quiet!"

"Quiet! Quiet!!..." Antonios and the others also shouted.

People gradually calmed down.

"I'm very grateful for everyone's trust!" Davos said with excitement: "We are all comrades who fight together and face death together! We are all good brothers who can trust their right shoulders to the protection of their teammates! If any brother is injured, I will take Helps and do our best to treat them, and never abandon any injured person!!"

Helps was excited when he heard his name being called.

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

"Great! Thanks Hades!!"

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

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

In this era, it is very common for soldiers to die from injuries and infections, and it is also a nightmare that plagues the army.Now, Davers let them see hope.And this man was so generous and kind, how could they not be moved by it!
The shouts of "Davos! Davos!..." echoed over the Menon Barracks for a long time.
