This is he bases on the complete secondary roles of this world! 以及辎重官梅尔西斯,医护官赫尔普斯,传令官亚西斯特斯,骑兵队长莱德斯(尽管他的马匹已经所剩无几,戴弗斯仍然保留了这个编制和士兵,毕竟他们已经有了不少骑兵作战的经验)。还有二十八位分队长,他们都是作战经验丰富、且各具才能的队官。再加上了一千四百名经过一年多漫长征战的老兵。这就是他立足于这个世界的全部班底! Tonight, he must convince them, after experiencing one year of long expedition , to continue to follow him to go to the thousand li (500 km) the remote foreign land expedition, regarding his not very confidence. Thinks of here, he coughed lightly, said: Brothers, today you at that farce that Byzantium performs, developed good! Kerry Anders expresses the sympathy to our situations immediately, and is willing to provide some grain for us, this is your merit!” 今晚,他必须说服他们,在经历了一年漫长的征战之后,继续跟随他去千里之遥的异乡征战,对此他并无十分信心。想到这里,他轻咳了一声,说道:“兄弟们,今天你们在拜占庭演的那出闹剧,演的不错!克里安德立刻对我们的处境表示了同情,并愿意为我们提供一些粮食,这都是你们的功劳啊!” The people laugh. 众人哈哈大笑。 Olivos said loudly: Leader, this is not the farce, but is the comedy. You had not noticed that these Byzantium people frighten the appearance that faints!” 奥利弗斯更是大声说道:“首领,这不是闹剧,而是喜剧。你没有看到那些拜占庭人吓得晕倒的样子!” The people are one smile, only has Matonis to have a guilty conscience, has to lower the head to laugh secretly. 众人又是一阵笑,唯有马托尼斯心中有鬼,只好低头窃笑。 Yes, comedy.” Davos sighed one lightly, said: How long but can this comedy continue? We were stranded here, where cannot go, does not dare to go. According to a reliable source, Sparta has prepared and Persia makes war, Sparta general raised Boulon to arrive in Ephesus to recruit the soldier, how he will let off our batch to the Persia combat experienced veteran! How long could not want, we possibly fought again on the Persia land!” “是啊,喜剧。”戴弗斯轻叹了一声,说道:“可是这种喜剧能持续多久呢?我们被困在这里,什么地方都不能去,也不敢去。据可靠消息,斯巴达已经准备与波斯开战,斯巴达将领提布隆已经到了以弗所召募士兵,他又怎么会放过我们这批对波斯作战经验丰富的老兵呢!要不了多久,我们就可能再次战斗在波斯的土地上!” „Is this real? I have been weary have gone to war with Persians, I do not want to go back again!” “这是真的吗?我已经厌倦了跟波斯人打仗,我不想再回去!” How can like this?! I have prepared to buy place in Corlett, looks for a wife......” “怎么会这样?!我已经准备在克里特买一块地,找一个妻子……” ...... …… The people are in a tumult immediately, very anxious discusses spiritedly...... 众人立刻骚动起来,十分不安的议论纷纷…… Davos has not replied them, but shake-out an astonishing news: Moreover, but also calculates that kindhearted Kerry Anders will soon resign, replaces his is Sparta Aris Takasi!” 戴弗斯没有回答他们,而是又抖出一个惊人的消息:“而且,还算好心肠的克里安德即将卸任,接替他的是斯巴达的阿里斯塔卡斯!” Some people „”. 有人“啊”了一声。 Davos swept one in that direction, saying that coldly: Your some people know him, some people do not know. I told you, this Sparta person was very famous in the former and Athens war! It is not because he battles heroically, but yes-” the Davos look is dignified, one word at a time with emphasis, said: Greeks that he will defeat twice trades for the slave!!” 戴弗斯往那个方向扫了一眼,冷冷的说道:“你们有人知道他,有人不知道。我告诉你们,这个斯巴达人在之前与雅典的战争中很有名!不是因为他作战英勇,而是-”戴弗斯神色凝重,一字一顿的加重语气,说道:“他两次将战败的希腊人贩卖为奴!!” This saying looked like toward the wok with cooking oil of boiling in irrigates one can of cold water, the people blasted out the pot immediately. 这话就像是往沸腾的油锅里浇了一罐冷水,众人顿时炸开了锅。 „Does he want to trade us?!” “难道他要贩卖我们?!” He must dare to do, I fought him!” “他要敢这么干,我就跟他拼了!” We are the freemen, is not the Sparta enemy! Their have no reason to do that moreover this violates the tradition of Greece!” “我们是自由民,不是斯巴达的敌人!他们没有理由这么做,而且这是违反希腊的传统的!” Sparta originally arbitrary overbearing, now it is the overlord in Greece, handling anything is also not it decides!” 斯巴达本来就蛮横霸道,现在它又是希腊的霸主,做什么事情还不是它自个说了算!” ...... …… Davos gazes at the startled people, in the sound is being full of the sentiment, he said: We are free Greeks, we to survive difficultly, is living. However, in the Sparta people and in these city-state citizen eyes, we do not have the outcastes of place, is threatens the city-state stable thief and robber! Therefore, peaceful that western Croatia present can deceive us at will( refers to this Sparta navy senior officials to deceive them arrives in Byzantium, said that must send pay to them, result arrives breaks a promise)! Kerry Anders can also deceive us at will, deceives to go out of town us outside, closes the city gate, does not give the grain, but must face large group of Thracian! Sparta is so powerful, do we dare to revolt?! Either was traded as the slave, cannot eat to the full and does not put on warmly, until one day dies of exhaustion in the farm and mine, was thrown the corpse wilderness ; Either follows Sparta to fight, every day cut and bruised, until dying in battle in some not well-known wilderness ; Naturally, there is a possibility to return to the hometown luck safely, but what's the big deal?! As a freeman who does not have the place, in any city-state is a outsider, could not enjoy any city-state right, but must be spurned, until died obscure......” 戴弗斯注视着惊慌的众人,声音中饱含着感情,他说:“我们是自由的希腊人,我们为了生存,艰辛的活着。但是,在斯巴达人、在那些城邦公民眼里,我们是无地的贱民,是威胁城邦稳定的小偷、强盗!所以,安那克西部斯可以随意欺骗我们(指的是这位斯巴达海军长官为了骗他们到拜占廷,说要给他们发薪酬,结果一到达就毁约)!克里安德也可以随意欺骗我们,把我们骗出城外,关闭城门,不给粮食,还要面对人数众多的色雷斯人斯巴达如此强大,我们敢反抗吗?!要么被贩卖为奴,吃不饱、穿不暖,直到有一天累死在农场和矿山,然后被抛尸荒野;要么跟随斯巴达去战斗,每日遍体鳞伤,直到战死在某个不知名的荒郊野外;当然,也有可能幸运地安全回到家乡,可那又怎么样?!作为一名无地的自由民,在任何城邦都是外乡人,享受不了任何城邦的权利,还要遭到唾弃,直到默默无闻地死去……” The people calmly are listening, is peaceful can hear some people wept...... 众人静静地听着,安静得能听见有人的啜泣…… At this time, Davos also contained the tears completely: This fights a bloody battle for a year, to struggle in Persia diligently result that we who return to the hometown want! We want a right of stable happy life not to give!! In this world has not let our these poverty-stricken freeman peaceful survivals the place!!!” 这时,戴弗斯也是满含热泪:“难道这就是在波斯浴血奋战一年、努力挣扎着回到家乡的我们想要的结果吗!难道我们想要一个安定幸福的生活的权利都不给吗!!难道这世上就没有让我们这些穷苦的自由民安静生存的地方!!!” Roaring and interrogation that Davos is from the heart shook awoke each team officer present, they pinched tightly the fist, to nip the jaw tightly, the look angry and painful...... 戴弗斯发自内心的怒吼与质问震醒了在座的每位队官,他们捏紧拳头、紧咬牙关,眼神愤怒而痛苦…… Hielos stands, shivers is extending both hands, said: Captain Davos! Our commands! Hades god family! Please tell us, how do we want to do?! How should do to break out of our difficult positions!!” 希洛斯站起来,颤抖着伸出双手,说道:“戴弗斯首领!我们的统帅!哈迪斯的神眷者!请你告诉我们,我们要怎么做?!该怎么做才能摆脱我们的困境!!” Right, Captain Davos, we need your oracle!!” The Hielos words reminded many people, Kapus and Antonios their excited makes the plea to Davos. “对,戴弗斯首领,我们需要你的神谕!!”希洛斯的话提醒了不少人,卡普斯安东尼奥斯他们激动的向戴弗斯做出恳求。 When everyone's vision gathers on the Davos face, his facial expression becomes incomparably grave: Last night...... had a person to enter my dreamland, the golden light of his whole body sending out, making me unable to see clearly his look...... he me drawing from the bed, across the window, has flown looked downward, Mediterranean that in the air...... I was afraid is similar to a picture to appear in me clearly at present...... the Peloponnese peninsula like iron hammer deep entering the sea, but in the west side next to its Italy, like leather boots...... toward the west, I also saw a column of likely door Hercules again Mediterranean and ocean separates...... the Egypt Mediterranean coast to extend on a long green rug to likely. Africa......” 当所有人的目光都聚集在戴弗斯脸上时,他的神情变得无比庄重:“昨晚……有一个人进入我的梦境,他浑身散发的金光,让我看不清他的相貌……他将我从床上拉起来,穿过窗户,一直飞到空中……我害怕的往下看,地中海就如同一幅画清晰地出现在我眼前……伯罗奔尼撒半岛就像一把铁锤深入海中,而在西边紧挨着它的意大利,就像一只皮靴……再往西,我还看见了赫拉克勒斯之柱象一扇门将地中海与大洋隔开……埃及地中海沿岸就像一条长长的绿色地毯一直延伸到阿非利加……” The Davos dreamlike narration attracted everyone, they compared oneself geography cognition, discovered that original Mediterranean was such a appearance, this made them believe in firmly to the Davos words. 戴弗斯如梦如幻的叙述将大家吸引住了,他们对照自己的地理认知,发现原来地中海是这么一个模样,这让他们对戴弗斯的话深信不疑。 „Did the person who at this time, sent out the golden light speak a few words to me?” “这时,散发金光的人对我说了一句话?” What did he say?” The people asked together. “他说了什么?”众人齐问。 He said that Davos, the mission of you and your soldier in the Mediterranean west!’, Said, from in the air pushed me, then I awoke with a start.” Saying that Davos has a lingering fear, absent-minded also in dream. “他说,‘戴弗斯,你和你的士兵的使命在地中海的西方!’,说完,就把我从空中推了下去,然后我就吓醒了。”戴弗斯心有余悸的说道,恍惚还在梦中。 „The Mediterranean west, where is that?” 地中海的西方,那是哪里?” In Sicily?” “在西西里吗?” May be Italy.” “有可能是意大利。” Iberia also has the possibility.” 伊比利亚也有可能。” Why is not Nubia.” “为什么不会是努比亚。” Who that golden light person is, Emperor?” “那个金光人是谁,哈帝斯吗?” „Does Hades possibly have the golden light? Should be Athena!” 哈迪斯怎么可能有金光?应该是雅典娜!” ......... ……… In everyone guessed, Davos sighed one secretly, since he became the leader, he deliberately avoided himselfgod familystatus, but won trust hand/subordinate through own ability. But these is important time, he has to draw support from Greek various God again, he intentionally ambiguous that oracle said that yes 就在大家纷纷猜测之时,戴弗斯暗叹了一声,自从他当上首领后,他就刻意避免自己”神眷者”的身份,而是通过自己的能力来赢得手下的信任。但这一次事关重大,他不得不再一次借助希腊诸神,他故意将神谕说的含糊,是 Because the oracle itself/Ben is ambiguous. For example: Before Asia Minor had a Lydia kingdom, must make war with Persia, to Delphi, spent large sum of money seeking Apollo oracle especially, on oracle said: A great nation will be eliminated. Lydia person goes back to make war happily, the result is the Lydia kingdom perishes. The Apollo priest's explanation is: In Asia Minor, the Lydia kingdom is also a great nation. 因为神谕本就是模棱两可的。比如:以前小亚细亚有一个吕底亚王国,要与波斯开战,特地到德尔菲,花重金求取阿波罗神谕,神谕上说:一个大国将被消灭。吕底亚人高高兴兴的回去开战,结果是吕底亚王国灭亡。阿波罗祭司的解释是:在小亚细亚,吕底亚王国也是大国。 Note: Thurii ( Thurii ) 注:图里伊(Thurii) Amendolara ( Amendolara ) 阿门多拉腊(Amendolara)
