"... I pretended to be the messenger of Turiyi, and after several efforts, I finally arrived in Sparta. At the Elders' Council, I told the Spartan elders about the disaster that Turiyi suffered and asked them for reinforcements. The Spartan elders expressed sympathy for our Turiyi's experience, but there were no reinforcements to send, but gave a certificate of recruitment permission..."

"Smart!" When Burkos said this, Phiris couldn't help but praise, and the other generals breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Sparta did not care much about Turi's help to Athens.

"Fortunately, we took measures in time, so Sparta could treat us with such an attitude." Kunogorata said on the side, and several generals agreed. Whether Sparta changed his attitude because of Turi's behavior of expelling Athenian descendants or did not take Turi's heart at all, these generals who had expressed support and recognition in expelling Athenian descendants all needed this false identity to dispel the guilt in their hearts.

Burkos glanced at the generals and continued, "When I arrived in Militu, during the period when I recruited mercenaries such as Drax and Sesta, I heard a lot of news about Cyrus Little who led Greek mercenaries to attack Persia and attempted to usurp the throne."

Several generals nodded. Although Tuliyi was thousands of miles away from Asia Minor, they knew about this news. Not to mention the frequent merchant ship exchanges in the East and West in the Mediterranean, the earliest mercenaries who could only be stationed outside the city, small vendors and even ** went to the military camp to do business, thus spreading some news and stories to the city.

"The Greek mercenaries defeated the Persian king's army. Although Cyrus was killed in the battle, they defeated Tissofnis, the governor of Asia Minor of Persia, and the troops of the Armenian Governor of Aojontas, and it is said that they also killed several famous generals in Persia! They marched thousands of miles and continued to fight with the local indigenous people. Among them, there are many mountain races that make Persians feel headache. Do you think such a Greek mercenary has rich combat experience? Is it amazing combat power? Can it be compared with the Spartans?"

"Is this army you hired-" Some of the generals could not help but exclaim: "It's the Greek mercenary who was expeditioning to Persia?!"

"Yes, generals." Seeing the expressions of surprise and excitement among the crowd, a stone finally landed in his heart: "The reason why our last battle with the Lucanians failed was not only because of Asikulodoyax's negligence, but also because the citizens lived in peace for a long time and lacked combat experience."

In fact, after the Turi's invasion of the Lucanians, they took the initiative to attack the Lucanian territory. It was not the wish of Asikulodoyax alone. All the citizens of Turi's entire, including generals, were pushing. This strong desire to retaliate against the Lucanians prompted the entire army to underestimate the enemy's land, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

At this time, Burkos was against his will to Asikulodoyax (this was also the scapegoat that the Turiyi Citizens Congress was found after the disastrous defeat at that time). Seeing the generals nodding in agreement, he couldn't help but secretly despise him, but he still said seriously: "I think if such an army can be hired, the danger facing Turiyi will not only be lifted, but also will be a huge blow to the Lucanians. So I arranged for my subordinates to be stationed in taverns and inns at any time.

Inquired about the whereabouts and movements of the Greek expeditionary force. Soon after, I learned that they had arrived at the city of Heraclia on the coast of the Euksin Sea, but I also learned another bad news, 'Sparta and Persia were about to go to war, and the Spartan general Tibron was even appointed as the governor of Asia Minor, and when he arrived in Mili, he began to recruit troops.' I was afraid that this Greek expeditionary force would be recruited by Sparta, so I rushed to the Hellespont overnight by fast ships and found them in Byzantium.

But most of the mercenaries were tired of fighting and were unwilling to stay away from their hometowns and fight in the distant and strange Turiyi. Only the troops led by the leader Davers agreed to accept some of their requests, and after I agreed to accept some of their requests, I led them to accept employment. After I led them on a boat away from Byzantium, they were intercepted by the Spartan fleet. It turned out that the Governor of Asia Minor, Tibron, sent an envoy to let the entire Greek expeditionary force fight for him. This unit of Davers is the best among the expeditionary forces. Several Persian generals actually died in their hands. It was just because I had a signed employment agreement and a recruitment permit issued by the Spartan Elders Council, and at the same time, I paid half a Tarente to bribe the Spartan envoy, so that the fleet could be allowed to let the fleet go..."

"Everyone, after accepting the tasks we gave him, Bulkos went through difficulties and obstacles, and even had his life danger. He was not afraid or gave up. Instead, he used his intelligence and perseverance to finally complete the recruitment. It should be said that he had completed the recruitment task that exceeded our expectations! Not only did he attract strong support for Turiyi, but he also let us understand Sparta's attitude towards Turiyi. We should thank him! Turiyi's citizens should thank him!!" Finis said excitedly and applauded first.

The other generals also applauded, and the applause continued for a long time.

Burkos didn't know what to say at this time.

Kunogorata walked forward and said with a sincere look on his face: "Burcos, you are Turiyi's hero! Please forgive what I said just now. I shouldn't be so suspicious of you. It's just that Turiyi's financial problems have caused us a headache recently. Are you willing to accept my apology?!"

Burkos nodded and accepted.

Then Neonsis also expressed his apology.

Another general, Ansitanos, said: "Should we visit the Greek mercenary leader who was expeditioning Persia to show Turi's welcome to them?"

"Ansitanos, I know you want to learn more about Persia from them to complete the sequel to the great "History" of your teacher Herodotus." Kunogorata said seriously: "But it is not a good time. I admit that the troops mentioned by Bulcos are indeed amazing in combat, but they are mercenaries and Gentiles after all! And we represent Turiyi! Everyone should know that soldiers who are used to bloody killing may threaten themselves while shocking the enemy. Such examples are not uncommon. We cannot spoil them and make them have unnecessary fantasies. And if we pay too much attention to them, what will another mercenary think?! What will Tarantum's reinforcements think?!"

"That's right! They are just some free people, and we paid for them to fight for us!" Neonsis shouted loudly.

Kunogorata took the opportunity to take over the conversation and continued: "Neonsis is right! No matter how strong the mercenary is, it is still a mercenary. We pay, we are the employers. Don't reverse this relationship!"
