Chapter 499: Attacked (1/2)
Prince's Mansion
Dozens of slaves are practicing assassinations. They have strong muscles and good steps. They hold wooden swords and shields, practice movements on a wooden pole, and learn to hit the upper half of the enemy with a shield. When the enemy raises his hand to resist, use a short sword Gives a fatal blow from bottom to top.
When a command was passed, the slaves were neatly arranged. Although it was not a square matrix, it was not as messy as when they were just bought. Nothing was clear.
Pei Ziyun is very satisfied with the effect of training during this time. He glanced at the slaves and said, ”You are all slaves I bought to be good at fighting. This time we are about to go out. I hope you can let me see the results of the training on the battlefield. . I don't care what you think, whether you want to participate in this expedition, as slaves, you have no right to choose, on the battlefield, as long as you understand the words obey, do you understand? ”
”Understood.” The unanimous reply made the slave team quite different.
Pei Ziyun smiled coldly again. He commanded hundreds of thousands of troops in Daxu. This person was nothing at all. He just said, ”I have only one request for this expedition-bravery and merit.”
”The brave will not be punished, and I will not be embarrassed if I have the battle, both wine and meat, and women. Among them, I let him be my protected person!”
Hearing here, there was a commotion below, and some slaves had a slight excitement on their faces.
The protected person is a special concept in this world, which is similar to the guardian. In fact, it means promotion to the free people class, but they are still under the ”protection” of the original owner, which is Daxu's family members.
For these slaves, becoming a citizen within a generation is almost impossible, and the best reward is freedom. Without freedom, not only belongs to the owner's personal property, but future generations will be slaves for life.
Now Pei Ziyun's words let them see a glimmer of hope, which made them not excited.
Pei Ziyun calmed down in the scene and continued: ”But if I don't obey the order and be lazy, I will also show merciless punishment and even hang myself. I hope you can keep this in mind.”
”Come out!” Pei Ziyun waved his hand, gave an order, and said to the standing Guzne: ”Buy another batch of such slaves next time, and remember to buy some slaves who have skills.
It is said that the whole world is vast and sparse, but it is not for Greece. The terrain of Greece is divided by mountains. The land suitable for cultivation is very limited. The population is very easy to carry in Greece. Frequent city-state conflicts have many prisoners of war. These They were the main source of slavery, and their lives were miserable.
”I just need to move closer to me, and build the merit.” Pei Ziyun thought secretly and said goodbye to Ononi. The joy of the wedding was going to the battlefield before he had enjoyed it for a few days. Ononi asked him, called Paris. Be careful and protect yourself.
In this era, it is a glorious thing for a man to build his career. Even if he is newly married, Ononi has no objection, but like all worried wives, Ononi also fears that Paris will encounter unexpected events on the battlefield.
Pei Ziyun led the slaves in a neat row to the dock, where the ships were ready, and three of them were filled with soldiers.
”Prince Paris, this is our largest battleship, and the most elite soldier.” The person sent by the palace bowed and handed a jar: ”This is Her Majesty, your father, specially given to You wait for the soldiers to paint before you fight. ”
”What is this, is it an ointment that is inaccessible?” Pei Ziyun joked.
This man is middle-aged and bowed down and said: ”Prince Paris, you laughed and said that there is a sacred anointing or there is, but this has to be rewarded by the gods of Ares or the goddess of Hecate Only. ”
”This is the secret medicine in the court. The soldiers smeared it, and they could shake their spirits and be full of energy in a short time.”
”It turned out to be a temporary stimulant.” Pei Ziyun understood that as to why this kind of medicine was not rare in this era, let alone stimulants, medicines that are inaccessible, and they are really there, and the time is not far off-Jin This is the life-saving thing that Medea gave to Ia Song.
Pei Ziyun immediately understood that this was what the king escorted himself. It was really painstaking. He laughed and said, ”Thank my father, rest assured that I will win.”
Speaking of turning and commanding the slaves to enter, these ships are 5o paddles per ship. Only the ship and the stern have decks. Pei Ziyun arranged the slaves to sit on the bench of the warship and paddle the paddles facing the stern.
These paddle tricks were originally equipped with specialized personnel, but for the slaves to grow up as quickly as possible, Pei Ziyun let the old paddling veterans draw a few people to point out these slaves. I believe that by the time they reach their destination, these people have fully mastered the paddles. Technology.
The soldiers stayed quietly in the cabin. The cabin was not dim. Most of them participated in several battles. Their attitude was more leisurely than the newer slaves. They wiped, organized weapons and armor, and prayed to the deities.
At this time, it was almost dusk, the sky was clear, the waves were turbulent, and groups of sand gulls soared and landed. The island of Niños was very close to Troy, only dozens of nautical miles. Pei Ziyun stood on the deck and said: Now, come out immediately, I will crush all the siren in front of me into powder. ”
Following the order, three large ships sailed out.
