Chapter 64 Fighting
Burkos hesitated for a moment, but was still ready to tell the truth. After all, this was an open secret. He did not want this incident to affect the trust established between the two: "When Thurii was founded, Athens and Crotone had a dispute. By agreement, 'Crotone and Thurii will remain at peace, and Thurii will not build a city on the site of Sybaris, while Sybaris will remain as it is.'"

"The domineering Crotone! Is it to use a dilapidated ruin to show the power of Crotone to all who pass by?" Davos asked curiously.

"Maybe. But it also reminds the Tuli people to never make the mistake of Subaris!" Burkos said forcefully.

"Turiyi is quite tolerable." Davos said jokingly. Seeing that Burkos's expression was not good, he had to ask: "Now that we are camping here, isn't it a violation of the agreement?"

Burkos pretended to be relaxed and said: "The situation is urgent now, I believe Crotone can understand."

"I hope the people of Crotone think so too," Davos replied.

Burks said nothing. He had experienced Davos's shrewdness, and he believed that Davos had seen the joints involved.

As the group continued to walk forward, the number of broken walls and rocks gradually decreased, and the ground became smoother...

Felicius, who was walking in the front, stopped, turned around and said, "Leader, I think we should build a camp around this."

Davers stood on a large rock and looked around: to the north, about 200 meters away from here, was the mercenary camp that had arrived earlier; to the south was the Krati River; to the east was the sea; to the west were pieces of farmland.

He jumped down and poked the soil with his right toe. Under the thin layer of soil there were basically hard things: those should be the stone bricks paved in Subaris City back then. This should be the center of Subaris City. area.

Davos had the bottom line in his heart, nodded and said, "Yes."

Felicius turned around and walked back to inform the soldiers who were still disembarking at the pier.

At this time, dozens of people came out of the mercenary camp opposite and ran towards this side.

"Hey, where are you from?" the first person shouted loudly.

Burkos recognized the person and stepped forward and said: "Drakos, this is the leader of Davos from Thessaly invited by Tuliyi. Like you, their mercenaries will also be the same as the Lucarians." Fight."

"Oh?..." Seeing that Davos was so young, Drax couldn't help but feel a little strange and contemptuous. He also saw Asistes leading the escort team to mark and take measurements on the ground, and his expression changed slightly: "They are here do what?"

"We will camp here, and our two armies will be neighbors in the future!" Davos said with a smile.

"Are you going to camp here?!" Drax's eyes widened, and his voice became louder.

"It's more convenient to camp here, and we can interact with you." Davos saw the change in his expression, but didn't care.

"Who is cooperating with you! Don't drag us down! You can't camp here. You have to move at least 300 meters south before you can camp!" Drax ordered in a strong tone.

"300 meters to the south, our camp will be by the river!" Davers reminded him.

"Then I don't care! You figure it out on your own, you have to leave here immediately anyway!" Drax said with a tough attitude.

"Drakos, this is Thurii's land, you have no right to make such a decision!" Burkos yelled at him.

"But you Tuliyi designated this ruins of Subaris as a camp for our mercenaries. Then I have the right. Who told us that we were the first to come!" Dracos said arrogantly.

Burkes wanted to talk again, but Daves held him back.

"I understand. It seems that whoever decides here has to rely on his strength." Davos sneered.

"Hey, young man, you are still a sensible person. What's the matter? You want to have a fight?!" Drax smiled disdainfully.

Davos called Asistes over and whispered: "Go and call the troops here quickly and tell them that there is a good opportunity to move their hands and feet here."

"Understood!" Asistes ran back excitedly.

"Martius, what are you waiting for? Come with me!" After Davos finished speaking, he rushed over.

Martius was also a warrior as famous as Matonis in the Hilos team. He became the guard captain and had to manage the guard team on weekdays. His aggressive and ruthless mentality was restrained a lot. When he rarely encountered a good opportunity, he was already gearing up. , led thirty guards like wolves and tigers, and rushed forward.

When Dracos saw Davos rushing towards him, he punched him in the head.

Davos had been prepared for a long time. While lowering his body, his speed did not slow down, and he approached the right side of Dracos.

Dracos' right fist was about to turn sideways before he could retract it.

Davos' left fist hit his waist like lightning, causing him to bend down subconsciously in pain. Davos then hit him hard on the chin with a right uppercut, which made him strong His body jumped upwards, then fell backwards.

Burkos saw from behind that in a flash of lightning, Dracos fell to the ground and was so shocked that cold sweat broke out down his spine.Normally, Davos chatted and laughed with him, and his gentle appearance made Burkos think that this young man had conquered the mercenary soldiers with his wisdom, but he did not expect that his lethality was also amazing.Looking at the other escorts under the leadership of Martius, they were like tigers pouncing on prey, striking hard and accurately. Moreover, they cooperated tacitly to defend each other and attack together. Although the opponent had ten more people, they were all scattered. , always caught in the double-team of two or three people, and soon they were all beaten down, while Martius basically suffered no losses.

Burkos was about to say something, but he heard rumbling footsteps behind him.

"Davos, here we come!" The one running at the front was Matonis.

Davos saw many people rushing out of the military camp opposite, but the speed was obviously not as fast as his own.So he said: "In a moment, we will attack as many people as the other party attacks. We will attack them in turn until they are all knocked down, but we cannot kill them!"

"Roar!" the soldiers howled excitedly, impatiently waiting for the other party to come up.

A melee involving hundreds of people soon began, and the winner was soon decided.The outcome was obvious. Soldiers from the other side's camp saw their teammates falling to the ground from a distance, moaning, and were too frightened to come over.

Seeing this, Burkos was glad that his decision to hire Davos's army was correct, but he also said worriedly: "Is this too much? How can you fight with Dracos and the others in the future?!"

Davos rubbed his knuckles and comforted him: "You don't understand what happens between mercenaries. After this fight, I believe that not only will there be no friction in the future, but they will also understand who is the one here." Power takes charge!”

These words gave Burkos another layer of understanding of Davos...

"Matonis, if it weren't for two Dalek gold coins a month, I really wouldn't want to join your army!..." Ctipes, a mercenary who joined the Davos military camp in Byzantium, dug a trench, While complaining to the squad leader Matonis: "After more than ten days on the boat, we finally arrived in Thurii. We were not allowed to have a good rest. We were immediately asked to dig trenches and build camps..."

Matonis' eyes widened: "If you don't want to do it, you don't have to do it!"

"I don't want to be spanked!" Ktipes thought of something, and said more and more fearfully: "No wonder some people said before that your military camp is strictly controlled, but that's not true! Being spanked at every turn is simply unbearable! We They are mercenaries, not the Spartan army..."

Matonis misses the soldiers he led before. After half a year of running-in, he is very familiar with the things stipulated in the military law promulgated by Daves, when to do what, without his urging, the brothers can take the initiative to complete good.But since half of the veterans were removed and the new Byzantine soldiers were forced to join, all kinds of unsuitable small incidents occurred frequently along the way, which made Matonis anxious, such as the broken-mouthed guy in front of him.Matonis didn't want to talk to him, but he had to remind him: "Boy, you dug too shallow! The leader requested a "U"-shaped trench three meters wide and three meters deep. You see that you didn't dig enough. Failed the test!"
