"Bulcos, long time no see, I thought you had forgotten your old friend!" Davers came forward with a smile.

"How could I forget it! But after I came back, there were a lot of backlogs that needed to be dealt with urgently, and I couldn't find time for a while." Bulcos explained.

"Oh, now you're finally finished?" Davers said jokingly.

"It's not done." Burkos said seriously: "But there is an important order from Turiyi City Hall to let me convey to you."

"Oh, what important command is it? The adults of Turiy finally remembered that we mercenaries." Davers said teasingly.

"Want me to say here?" Bulcos glanced at the surroundings.

"I'm sorry, it was my negligence. Go to my big tent." Davers expressed his apology while leading them to the center of the camp.

"Is this kind of 'tug-of-war' game learned from Persia?" asked Burkos.

"I think it's mainly because I'm worried that if the soldiers stay in the barracks for a long time and have nothing to do, some unexpected situations may occur. Therefore, letting them play sports competitions can not only consume their energy, but also exercise their bodies and cultivate teamwork skills. In fact, there are rewards for holding the final championship of this competition, and I took out a lot of money myself."

"You manage these mercenaries very well!" Bulcos praised, and then changed the topic: "But you don't have to worry anymore, you'll have something to do soon."

Davers was not surprised: "The Lucanians are forced to see each other. Turiyi will not take any action. I thought you were ready to give them the land outside the city."

Hearing the resentment in Davers' words, Burkos was thinking about how to respond, but after looking out of his eyes, he saw a four-meter-high stone wall inside the wooden wall on the right, and said in surprise: "Are you going to build another stone wall?"

Davers blinked: "The floor of that section of wooden wall is relatively wet, so it is not strong enough, so I built another section of stone wall with those scrap stones inside to prevent it from being broken."

"You and your soldiers are so powerful that they actually built a city!" Bulcos criticized obscurely.

"We have no choice. The number of people is too small. If we don't build the camp stronger, the Tuli will be surrounded, and we will hire mercenaries to rescue us. If we are surrounded, who will rescue us? So everything depends on ourselves!" Davers said calmly.

"The market outside is also related to the camp's defense?" Burkos asked back.

"At first I just wanted to rely on the market to buy and sell things to meet daily needs, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this... But don't worry, when the Lukari people are defeated, everything will return to normal." Davers assured him.

Bulcos just wanted to gain some psychological advantages in the following conversation. After all, only the town hall and council could make a decision on whether to force mercenaries to close the market. So he did not continue to pursue the matter, but decided to go back and report it to Ferris. After entering Davers's tent, he said directly: "According to the situation found, the Lucanians may attack Turiy within two days. After discussion, the generals decided to face the enemy and ask you to participate in the battle at that time."

"Please tell me, what is the plan of General Turiyi?" Davers said sarcastically. In fact, he was helpless. As a participant in a war, he didn't even have the power to participate in the discussion before the war. This is really strange. He didn't know that the Greek mercenaries were the same when they were under the command of Cyrus. However, the mercenaries occupied half of the number of people at that time. They were strong and Cyrus relied heavily on him. In addition, he deceived the mercenaries in advance to conceal the fact of the rebellion, so when there were excessive demands, he would discuss with Cliercus and others... When Davers traveled through time, Cyrus had already died in battle, and everything was decided by the mercenaries themselves, so everyone discussed everything. Now, Davers returned to the experience of the bad feeling that everything was decided by others when they first arrived in this world, and fate could not be decided.

Burcos was also helpless. In fact, Pharis had proposed to let the mercenary leaders participate in the discussion and plan this battle. Kunogorata and others firmly refused, saying that they were to prevent incidents like Dionysus (Dionis was the tyrant of Syracuse at this time. He was once driven out of power by the democrats and later bloodily suppressed the democrats by quietly introducing mercenaries into the city, thus firmly sitting on the throne of the dictator of Syracuse). The recruitment of mercenaries was a suggestion made by Pharis, which was discussed by the generals and passed by the council, and was recruited by Bulcos, recommended by Pharis, so he had to avoid suspicion.

"According to the investigation of the reconnaissance cavalry, the Lucanian coalition has more than 10,000 people. On our side, you have more than 2,000 soldiers under your command, Dracos and others have more than 2,000 reinforcements from Tarantum, Turiyi can send 4,000 people, and we have two hundred cavalry, and the total number is close to 10,000..."

After introducing the troops of both sides, Bulcos picked up a branch and gestured on the ground: "The generals' plan is that when the generals lined up, Tarantum's reinforcements were on the right wing. Given that their troops were the least, one thousand people from Adrianques and Sesta were added to them; the middle road was our Turiyi's troops. Due to the last failure, the young and middle-aged citizens of Turiyi had been greatly reduced, so more than half of the four thousand people were citizens over 40 years old, so one thousand people from Dracos were added to the middle road; and... Because your troops have rich combat experience and strongest strength, your troops are responsible for the left wing, and there are also one hundred cavalry. Another hundred Tarantum cavalry are included in the right wing. Of course, this is just a plan. When it comes to the battlefield, there may be changes depending on the enemy's situation..." Bulcos finished speaking, paying attention to the expression on Davers's face.

Davers held his jaw with one hand, looked at the patterns on the ground and fell into deep thought, without saying a word for a long time.

Burkos began to feel nervous.

"Do you want to hear my opinion?" Davers raised his head, pointed to the sketch on the ground, and said calmly: "The configuration of troops given by Tuliyi should be relatively balanced. Obviously, the generals meant to use our defense to drag down the enemy's attack through lasting confrontation."

Burkos nodded: When Phiris explained to him why he had set up such a formation, he said something similar. Davers is indeed well-known. Just looking at the sketches, he can infer the intentions of the generals.

"Although I have never fought with the Lucanians, I have fought with many mountain races in Persia. Their combat characteristics should be different. They are fierce, loosely organized, and simple. Perhaps this is the confidence that your generals dare to use less to more and adopt such formations. However, there are several questions that need to be reminded to your generals-" Davers changed his tone, raised his volume, and said:

"Last year, Turiy died more than 10,000 people in the battle with the Lucanians, which also means that nearly 10,000 sets of excellent Greek heavy equipment fell into the hands of the Lucanians. They could use it to update their simple equipment. I encountered this situation when I was in the investigation of Amendorala. Secondly, according to my reconnaissance, the number of Lucanian coalition forces was at least 13,000, which was more than 3,000 more than us, which meant that their formation would be thicker than us.

The array is longer than us. Not only is the impact and pushing force greater than us, but the threat of flanking is also greater. They have just won a big victory, and their morale must be very high in the face of us. As far as I observe, you Tuliyi are afraid of the Lucanians in your heart, so after a long battle, it is hard to say who will retreat first." Davers pointed the pattern on the ground representing Tuliyi's middle road: "Don't forget, there are half of the 'old men' in it."

The confidence that Bulcos was originally instilled with "the Greek heavy infantry fights head-on and does not fear the barbarians" was shaken by Davers' words.

"Do you want to hear my plan?" Davers said at this time.
