Chapter 7

The task assigned to Davos was to go to the battlefield and retrieve the spears, shi+elds, and even the chariots that were discarded by both sides, to use as ti the ned an ox cart

The battlefield is not far from the campYesterday, the cavalry went out to scout and found that the Persian king’s troops had left, and only did they dare to send soldiers out to clean up the battlefieldHowever,attacked by Persian cavalry

Before he got to the battlefield, Davos could see the sky in the distant, it look as if it’s dark, innu cry made his heart throb!

A few miles near the meadow, layers of human and horse corpses were covered with dense flies and insects, even the wolves and leopards were gnawing at the bones, they did not even hide when they saw people but looked at theht in their eyes…

Every step Davos took, a layer of flies gets lifted, it buzzing around while going straight to his face and he couldn’t even disperse them even if he drives them away

Davos looked pale and felt his stoh this scene many times, how can you still feel uncomfortable?!” Matonis’ words of concern have a hint of joyBecause he felt that although Davos had changed, but there is still places for him to take care of

“I’m fine!…blech…” Davos sed his salivaMemory is memory, after all, this is the first time that a modern man has witnessed this bloody battlefieldHowever, he knew it in his heart, that in this troubled world, such scenes will continously appear in front of hi his nose, forcing to endure the pungent stench, picked up the body on the ground and pulled out the shi+eld underneath, quickly reots on it and threw it on the cart

When he first arrived at the battlefield, the ox couldn’t stand this terrible environment, it was always restless and alave the idea to cover the ox eyes with linen thatti a bundle

“What about Davos?” Matonis found that one person wasfrom the team

“There!” Olivos pointed not far away, Davos was throwing a javelin at a vulture that was pecking a corpse, but the seeed away

“It seems that he is ready to participate in the javelin competition in Olylanced at him and walked toward Davos

When Davos saw his arrival, he quite naturally picked up a javelin froun to adapt to this harsh environment

“Matonis, we have howthe sharp spearhead with his hand

Matonis was not at all good at this aspect, fortunately, there is the attentive Giorgris: “Archer?… I remember that there are nearly 300 Cretan archers under ClearchusIf you count the Peltast that can throw javelins…uhm all of them…probably…there are 3000 people”

“3000 peopleHow many Peltast are there on our side?” Davos asked

“There are about 400…”

“Matonis, don’t burn the javelin, it’s a pity, what do you think if each of us is equip with 1 or 2 javelins?” Davos thought about it and said

Matonis hasn’t responded, Olivos said first: “We are hoplites!”

“But in the face of Persian cavalry, our hoplites can’t reach them and we can only avoid their bows and javelins!” The reason why Davos retWhen collecting this wooden weapon, he suddenly had this inspiration, because he knew that in history, another renowned Ro in close co, that is why he proposed it

“Ariaeus has sufficient cavalry” Olivos said
