“They ht say, ‘Great ancestors! It was your heroic deeds that have given us strength! Encourage our confidence! And let us accoreat cause!!’”
“Will there be such a day?” Ti his fists and muttered
The leaders were also tempted by the assumptions of Davos and were intoxicatedThey don’t know that in history, a Macedonian named Alexander inspired his soldiers with the retreat of the ten thousand Greeks and embarked on a journey to attack the Persian Empire few decades later…
When the soldiers were all immersed in the beauty of Davos’ fiction, Davos reached out and took the wooden stick froht ask, ‘Davos you said it so well, but there is a key issueFirst of all, we have to safely return back to Greece’”
Davos saw the soldiers were still listening attentively and continued, “I don’t want to speak much about the issue about battlesBecause the leaders such as Cheirisophus, Timasion, and the others, as well as all of you in here, have rich experience in coainst Athens and eventually wonThis is not cohout the year”
Hearing this, Xenophon grinned
“What I want to say is that in such a difficult situation, each of us is like a wooden stick in my hand-” Davos picked up the stick and broke it into two pieces without effortThen he broke another one, “It’s easy to breakBut when they are all together-” Davos grabbed all the re soldier and passed it to hi “Brother, what is your name?”
“Eubulus” said the soldier
Advertise it?”
The soldiers stared at Eubulus, they saw his face flushed, and tried his best to break the wooden stick, but it was in vain
“Thank you brother!” Davos patted him on the shoulder and thanked him
Eubulus blushed and scratched his head ely
“Soldiers, you have all seen itA single stick can be easily broken by a thin young est warrior can’t do anything about it with all their strengthWhat does it mean?”
Xenophon nodded, and now he knehat Davos was talking aboutOf course, he wasn’t the only smart man, a soldier shouted, “Unity! It is unity!…” After a reminder from some soldiers, everyone also came to understood
“Yes, it is unity!” Davos coe the way he speak, “Brothers, we have come from various Greek city-statesUsually, because of different customs and personalities, there are some minor contradictions and conflictsBut we are all Greeks of the sa ho history, any problems within us should be melted away like ice and snow under the sun! Just like how our ancestors resisted the Persian invasion, we should be closely united and not be shaken by the rumors of the Persians, and trust our teammates to protect our backs! In the face of the difficulties that ill encounter on our way home, we should not only unite in spirits, but also in wisdomBrothers, you should not leave the problems to be solve by the leaders, you should take the initiative to find a solutionAs long as ork together, then any problems won’t be able to intimidate us!
