More than twenty strong men rushed out on both sides, and Clearchus and the four round and were immediately tied with ropes

The captains and the soldiers waiting outside the entrance were also surrounded by heavily armed Persians, who cut down the unare shi+elds

”Satrap, congratulations, your plan was successful!” There was a wild laughter inside the tent

The candle was lit and the light was restored

Clearchus saw three people in the center of the tent, Tissaphernes, Orontes, and Ostanes laughing proudly and he screaer, ”Tissaphernes, you htered my soldiers, and you broke your oath to your suprened the contract! Are you not afraid of the wrath of your Gods?! Are you not afraid that your king will suffer fro?! Are you not afraid of the disaster that will come to your family?!!…”

”Hehehe…” With a slass of wine from his attendant, he carefully tasted it and walked up to the mercenary leader, before he slowly said, ”Clearchus, lethad already returned to Persepolis the day after the death of Cyrus the Younger Of course, he has never given any instructions about 'peace talks with you' which I just made up to deceive you… As for whether the Gods will punish me, you don't have to worry, since they wouldn't!” He said it in an aggravated tone, ”Mazda, will reward es who invaded Persian territory and massacred Persian people!…Oh, I will also tell you onethe horror on Clearchus' look, he was in a happy lass

Proxenus spit at hie it

”Liar! Coward…” Proxenus shouted

Tissaphernes was not angry, and proudly said, ”Liar?! Lying?! No, no, no! I would rather call it wisdoht, we Persians prefer to use our brains to find ways that will cost us less in exchange for greater victory! Just like how Ia truce Of course I know that you will still be vigilant, but once you get used to this kind of peace and stability, you don't want to go back to the tense and hostilities of the past, and so you want to work hard to maintain peace Therefore, I deliberately sent soldiers to clash with yourrumors so that you won't doubt me, then ill you doubt?”

Tissaphernes' eyes swept over the captured leaders and ridiculed theht?! You see, I know all the dirty things inside your camp! And I also know that you are a very responsible leader, Clearchus The more conflict between the two armies, the more worried you will be, and on the contrary, you will cootiate on your own initiative! Oh look, you did not only ca gift!…”

”Stop talking nonsense and kill us if you want!” Clearchus shouted while his face turned red

”Lord Tissaphernes, forgive led and pleaded, ”Even if you let o and persuade those foolish ate Asia Minor for you! I a for you to spare ?” Tissaphernes blinked, as if he was interested, ”Go bark like a dog first”

”Woof oof!…” Menon actually barked

”Oh, this is the Greek savages!” The Persians in the tent were all happy

”Menon, you shut up!…” Clearchus, was ashamed and scolded Menon

Menon turned a deaf ear, he simply knelt down and looked at Tissaphernes with pleasure

”Very good! Very good!!…” Tissaphernes smiled, clapped his hands and walked toward Meron

Menon curled both his hands, sat on the ground, spitting out his tongue, and barking happily

Tissaphernes caave him a sly smile, he then quickly pulled out his sword and slashed down Menon's neck

In the shouts of everyone, blood gushed out and the head of Menon rolled to the ground , with his face solidified a shock look

”Idiot! You thought that I didn't know that you were desperately swearing at er and took the initiative to attack my house!” Tissaphernes stepped on Menon's head with his left foot and his face got splashed with blood and was cold as ice
