After Pikors left the tent, Giorgris immediately asked with concern, ”Pikors is a Persian translator of Menon, can we trust him?”

”I heard that whenever Menonto do On the contrary, Meno often use him as a laborer He would be too foolish if he offend us and besides, he will earn some money” Olivos chimed in After he woke up, he knew that he almost went to hell and immediately thanked Davos, who knew that Davos responded to hi, so he had been quiet until now

But as soon as he spoke, the tent fell into a brief silence

”Davos, how did you know that the Persian ris suddenly asked

Davos understood that Giorgris wanted to liven up the ati, I found that he wasn't only worried that ould take advantage of his wife and daughter—” Davos said this and glanced at Olivos, ”His gaze kept sneaking a glance at the old tree in the yard from time to time, and so I went over and took a closer look, there I found a spot under the tree with a different color and it was a new soil Of course, I have souy was too timid and voluntarily confessed”

Several people prase Davos' meticulousness, especially Olivos, who spoke the loudest

When they finally reached Zapatas river, there was a large-scale conflict between the soldiers and ht, killing and injuring more than 10 people If the leaders of both sides had not arrived in time and sent troops to separate the two sides, then the result would have been uni to be cancelled the next day and the soldiers in each unit were restricted fro their camp The constant march these days made Davos both physically and mentally exhausted, they seldom had free time and so, they all slept deeply

Mersis, as in the supply unit, seized this hter soes

Just as Davos woke up, Antonios got into the tent and looked anxiously, ”Davos, Menon, Clearchus, Proxenus and the other leaders went to the Persian caotiate!”

”WHAT!!!” Davos was startled

”I heard that after the incident last night, Clearchus i to elimate the suspicions of mutual distrust and to avoid the recurrence of such hostilities Perhaps the two sides had a good conversation that ht in the Persian ca and sent people to inform the other leaders to follow him to the Persian camps to have further talks with Tissaphernes It was said that many soldiers and officers of the other mercenary team opposed their decision, but the leaders eventually reached an agreement and they are about to leave” Antonios quickly spoke about what had happened

”Why was nobody in our caely

”Meno didn't consult with others and quietly brought the 2 captain, Kapes and Mirstik” Antonios said with an aard look He knew it in his heart that after the last collective ”forced” incident,to obey Menon's order, and after Menon lost his prestige, he no longer want to discuss it with theht out the 2 captain who are still willing to listen to him

Antonios did not explain it in details and said, ”I just heard the noise of the soldiers of the nearby Socrates ca the?” Davos stood up, he then dressed quickly, and asked seriously

”Faster! Faster! take me to them, before it's too late!!!” Davos put on a linen and anxiously pulled Antonios out, followed by Hielos
