Davos looks with rapt attention, sees off-balance enters a middle-aged person, his medium stature, has a genial lovable face. 戴弗斯凝神看去,就见帐外走进一个中年人,他中等身材,有着一副和善可亲的面孔。 This middle-aged person is also sizing up Davos. Although he had also listened to the hearsay about this mercenaries leader before, but meets surprisedly in his young. However this time Davos and six months when Kent Rietrivier fights he has some differences, was not only the chin were many reckless Cha, on the face had scabs, moreover hardships all the way and slaughtered bloody, making him many some vicissitudes and murderous aura, the look was sharp threateningly. 这位中年人同样也在打量戴弗斯。虽然之前他也听过一些关于这位雇佣军首领的传闻,但见了面还是惊讶于他的年轻。不过此时的戴弗斯与半年前在肯特里特河大战时的他已有一些不同,不光是下巴多了一圈儿胡茬,脸上有了一道伤疤,而且一路上的艰难困苦和血腥厮杀,让他多了些沧桑和杀气,眼神更加锐利逼人。 „Thurii citizen Burkes gave regards to Captain Davos!” The middle-aged people go forward to salute to Davos. “图里伊公民布尔科斯向戴弗斯首领问好！”中年人上前向戴弗斯行礼。 „Thurii?” Davos is a little ignorant, the previous generation is not historical specialized he to this city-state noun knows nothing completely, but this body that not educated surviving memory cannot add on 1 point to be busy. “图里伊？”戴弗斯有点懵,前世并非历史专业的他对这个城邦的名词完全一无所知,而这具身体那未受过教育的残存记忆更是帮不上一点儿忙。 At this time, Cheiristoya saw his confusion, explained in a soft voice: „The Thurii city is situated west Magna Graecia Taranto bay, is a southern Italy youngest Greece colonizing city. After Sybaris twice Crotone ruins, loses Sybarites of homeland to Athens to seek the help, at that time Borwick was the Athens chief general, he responded to the request of Sybarites, and decided that must complete new city-state of flood Greece in the Sybaris former site, therefore he issues the summons to various city-state of Greece, goes to there including some Miletus also person of immigrants, this is the Thurii origin......” 这时,克莉斯托娅看出了他的困惑,轻声解释道:“图里伊城坐落在大希腊的塔兰托海湾西面,是意大利南部最年轻的一个希腊殖民城。绪巴里斯两次被克罗托内毁掉后,失去了家园的绪巴里斯人就向雅典寻求帮助,当时正是伯利克里担任雅典首席将军,他回应了绪巴里斯人的要求,并决定要在绪巴里斯的旧址上建成一座泛希腊的新城邦,于是他向希腊的各城邦发出号召,包括米利都也都有人移民去那里,这就是图里伊的由来……” „Madame, a point that you said right, I to your profound database respect!” Although Burkes surprised appears in the woman in the important discussing official business place, but he displays well-mannered. “夫人,你说的一点都没错,我对你渊博的知识表示敬意！”布尔科斯虽然惊讶于女人出现在重要的议事场所,但他还是表现得彬彬有礼。 „Sybaris...... Sybaris......” Davos thought that this noun is somewhat familiar, meditated several repeatedly, suddenly thought: „Oh, is there civil life is very luxurious, even is used to train to dance the warhorse, finally by Crotone with that Sybaris that the music does defeat?!” “绪巴里斯……绪巴里斯……”戴弗斯觉得这个名词有些熟悉,反复默念了几句,突然想起来了:“噢,是不是那里的公民生活很奢华,甚至把战马都用来训练跳舞,结果被克罗托内用音乐打败的那个绪巴里斯？！” „Yes.” Burkes looks at the Davos exciting appearance, somewhat suspected his ability really is so mysterious like the hearsay. “是的。”布尔科斯看着戴弗斯兴奋的模样,不禁有些怀疑他的能力是不是真如传闻那样神奇。 Davos remembers this story, that is because the Sybaris high life causes the history that they suffer a defeat and flee to become a fable story of previous generation West, moreover this story was related with ancient Greece famous mathematician Pythagoras. Italy!...... Davos slightly makes the thinking, suddenly the interest increases: „What matter do you ask me to have?” 戴弗斯之所以记得这个故事,那是因为绪巴里斯奢侈生活导致他们败亡的历史已经成为前世西方的一个寓言故事,而且这故事还与古希腊著名的数学家毕达哥拉斯有关。意大利呀！……戴弗斯略作思索,突然兴趣大增:“你来找我有什么事？” Burkes is anxious, most starts him is full of confidence, but one after another rejections of several leaders, making him be a little swayed by personal gains and losses, Davos was his final hope: „Thurii was being invaded by the aborigines, therefore wants to hire you and your soldier helps us, repels these aborigines.” 布尔科斯紧张起来,最开始他是满怀信心的,但是接连几位首领的拒绝,让他已经有点患得患失了,戴弗斯是他最后的希望:“图里伊正在遭受土著人的侵略,所以想雇佣你和你的士兵去帮助我们,打退这些土著人。” Davos and Cheiristoya looked at each other one. 戴弗斯和克莉斯托娅对视了一眼。 Burkes continues saying: „Naturally, we will pay your generous pay!” 布尔科斯继续说道:“当然,我们会付给你们丰厚的薪酬！” „How many can you pay?” Davos finds out the body forward, asking of being interested. “你能付多少？”戴弗斯向前探出身子,感兴趣的问道。 Burkes felt that had the hope, immediately pulls oneself together: „One soldier one month a Darica gold coin!” 布尔科斯感到有了希望,立刻抖擞精神:“一个士兵一个月一个达利克金币！” Davos anything spoke, instead in the future will sit. 戴弗斯什么说话,反而往后坐回去。 „, I remembered incorrectly, should be -and-a-half......, no! No! Should be two, two Darica gold coins!......” Burkes sees Davos to be unemotional throughout, the words somewhat shivered. “哦,我记错了,应该是一个半……啊,不！不！应该是两个,两个达利克金币！……”布尔科斯见戴弗斯始终面无表情,话语都有些颤抖了。 „What big deal Thurii was, making you worry like this?!” Davos shows a smile suddenly. “图里伊出了什么大事,让你这样着急？！”戴弗斯突然露出一丝微笑。 Burkes one hear: Went bad, oneself underestimated this young people, whether success that simultaneously worries to hire, under tempting that in this young people maintain composure gives oneself away. 布尔科斯一听:坏了,自己小看了这个年轻人,同时又着急雇佣的能否成功,在这个年轻人不动声色的引诱下露出了马脚。 „Burkes, if your wish makes me cooperate with Thurii, then best tell me the truth!” In the Davos words does not show the tone that allows to reject. “布尔科斯,如果你想要让我跟图里伊合作,那么最好告诉我实情！”戴弗斯的话里透出不容拒绝的语气。 Burkes actually hears a hope, therefore he adjusted a mood, heavy saying: „Indigenous Lucanians of Italy invades the Thurii territory on a large scale, Thurii ecclesia after the discussion, the consistent decision dispatches troops to repel Lucanian. Therefore, we sent out 10,000 heavy infantries and 1000 cavalries, finally suffers the disastrous defeat...... savage Lucanians to slaughter our soldiers recklessly, but also slivers fragment their bodies, in the stack when outside the city...... runs returns to the city the citizen also less than 300 people...... me, the aborigines have not attacked a city, but has seized the Thurii north Amendolara city, this gives the Thurii citizens to cause scared...... their hope to pin on my body considerably large now! Therefore......, therefore......” was saying to be saying, Burkes shed tears. 布尔科斯却听到一点希望,于是他调整了一下情绪,沉重的说道:“意大利的土著卢卡尼亚人大举入侵图里伊的领地,图里伊公民大会经过讨论,一致决定出兵打退卢卡利亚人。于是,我们派出了一万名重步兵和一千名骑兵,结果遭到惨败……凶残的卢卡尼亚人肆意屠杀我们的士兵,还把他们的身体切成碎块儿,堆放在城外……跑回城里的公民还不到三百人……我出发的时候,土著人还没有攻城,但已经占领了图里伊北面的阿门多拉腊城,这给图里伊的公民们造成了相当大的恐慌……现在他们的希望都寄托在我的身上！所以……所以……”说着说着,布尔科斯流下了眼泪。 Has seen Davos of too many tragedy to have a heart of stone in this nearly one year, regarding the sadness of Burkes, he knows well not sees, but asked with amazement: „Are so many soldiers, the Thurii citizens?” 在这近一年里已经见过太多惨事的戴弗斯已经是铁石心肠,对于布尔科斯的伤心,他熟识无睹,而是惊讶地问道:“这么多的士兵,都是图里伊的公民吗？” „Yes, Thurii, but one of the Magna Graecia liveliest city-state!” Burkes is wiping tears, proud saying. “是的,图里伊可是大希腊最繁华的城邦之一！”布尔科斯擦拭着眼泪,略带自豪的说道。 „11,000 people of military were also defeated unexpectedly, is Lucanian very powerful?” Davos curious continues to closely examine. “一万一千人的兵力居然也失败了,卢卡利亚人很强大吗？”戴弗斯好奇的继续追问。 „It is not, actually Lucanian as if only has 8000 people.” Burkes feared that Davos was daunted, therefore has saying: „Is only...... is only the Thurii interior...... un...... un...... mainly does not have the good commander, is reckless, ambush......” “不是,其实卢卡利亚人似乎只有八千人。”布尔科斯怕戴弗斯被吓住了,于是只好说道:“只是……只是图里伊的内部……嗯……嗯……主要是没有好的指挥官,过于冒进,中了埋伏……” „, Is this.” Davos is stroking gently reckless Cha on chin, asked: „Why don't you request reinforcements to other city-state?” “哦,是这样。”戴弗斯摩挲着下巴上的胡茬,又问:“为什么你们不向其他的城邦求援？” „Our south intent Greece city-state has a defensive alliance, but did not know what reason for these years, the aborigines start to invade various city-state territories on a large scale, Taranto, Locri...... have Crotone not to have the unnecessary strength to support us, but Syracuse also faced the attack of Carthaginians...... I also once to seek help from the Sparta person, but Sparta seems to be splitting with Persia, expressed to my request rejected, but agreed that hired the soldier to provide the convenience for me in Greece......” Burkes helpless saying. “我们南意希腊城邦是有一个防御同盟,但是这几年不知道什么原因,土著人开始大举入侵各城邦的领地,塔兰图姆,洛克里……还有克罗托内都没有多余的力量支援我们,而锡拉库扎也面临着迦太基人的进攻……我还曾向斯巴达人求助,但斯巴达似乎正在与波斯交恶,对我的要求表示了拒绝,但是同意为我在希腊雇佣士兵提供便利……”布尔科斯无奈的说道。 „Now the entire Greece does not lack the manpower resources, why looks for us?” Davos also asked. “现在整个希腊不缺兵源,为什么找我们？”戴弗斯又问。 Burkes thinks highly of immediately saying: „I had recruited some soldiers in Ephesus, but heard you! I think that can retreat safely in the Persians center, your fierceness and obtain the most powerful proof powerful, if can hire the combat to be experienced you, then repels Lucanian certainly not to have the issue! Therefore hears the merchant ship that anchors in Ephesus to mention in Crisopolis has seen your news, I catch up immediately, never expected that you arrived in Byzantium.” 布尔科斯立刻恭维似的说道:“我本来在以弗所已经招募了一些士兵,但听说了你们！我想能在波斯人的腹地安全地撤退回来,你们的勇猛和强大已经得到最有力的证明,如果能雇佣到作战经验丰富的你们,那么打退卢卡利亚人一定没有问题！所以一听到在以弗所停泊的商船说起在克里索波利斯见过你们的消息,我就立刻赶了过来,没想到你们又到了拜占廷。” Thinking highly of Burkes has not affected the ponder of Davos, he nods , to continue to ask: „Is Lucanian powerful? Which branch of the services do they have? Their equipment how? How are their combat characteristics?......” 布尔科斯的恭维并没有影响到戴弗斯的思考,他点点头,继续问道:“卢卡利亚人强大吗？他们都有哪些兵种？他们的装备怎么样？他们的作战特点是怎么样的？……” An issue meets an issue to look like nails to pound to the brain of Burkes. Burkes just started also to deal with ease, to was afterward difficult, because Davos had inquired about some complex issues: If Lucania territory big? How many cities? What mainly takes as to live? Political system how? Foreign contact how?...... 一个问题接一个问题像一颗颗铁钉砸向布尔科斯的大脑。布尔科斯刚开始还能轻松应对,到后来就非常困难了,因为戴弗斯已经问及了一些复杂的问题:如卢卡尼亚的领地有多大？有多少座城池？主要以什么为生？政治制度怎么样？对外的交往如何？…… Burkes fee/spent completely mental ability the issue of reply Davos, while can also ask that surprisedly in a mercenaries leader such profound issue, felt after unusual of Davos, his confidence also increases, because the person, only then wants will think of detailed understanding. 布尔科斯一边费尽脑力的回答戴弗斯的问题,一边惊讶于一个雇佣军首领还能问出这么高深的问题,感觉到戴弗斯的与众不同之后,他的信心也有增加,因为只有想要去的人才会想到去详细的了解情况。 „Situation I was roughly also clear.” Davos said, Burkes grew the tone: This is compared with replies on interrogation also wanting difficult several times of citizen on ecclesia! “情况我也大致清楚了。”戴弗斯说完,布尔科斯长出了口气:这可是比在公民大会上回答公民的质问还要难上几倍啊！ „I think that Timasion, Xanticles and Kerry Hanno they rejected you, is?” Davos said. “我想提马宋、赞提帕里斯、克里安诺他们都拒绝了你,是不是？”戴弗斯说道。 Burkes visits him again surprisedly. 布尔科斯再次惊讶地看着他。 „My military compound in the rear, you must first pass through them to come here. As far as I know, Timasion wants to return to love Syria- his hometown. Xanticles and Kerry Hanno actually receives Thrace a high salary invitation of clan and tribe leader Seiters's, prepares to work for him. But Xenophon now with secure that western Croatia present in the same place, I am being your only opportunity, not?” “我的军营在最后面,你必须先经过他们才能到我这里。据我所知,提马宋想回到爱欧里亚-他的家乡。赞提帕里斯和克里安诺却是受到色雷斯的一个部族首领赛特斯的高薪邀请,准备为他效力。而色诺芬现在正与安那克西部斯在一起,我是你唯一的机会,不是吗？” The astuteness of Davos has made Burkes not want to conceal anything again, his confident saying: „Yes, Captain Davos, you are my only opportunity! Then you are rejected or agreed?” 戴弗斯的精明已经让布尔科斯不想再隐瞒什么,他坦然的说道:“是的,戴弗斯首领,你是我惟一的机会！那么你是拒绝还是同意？”
