Chapter 38 (2/2)

”The slinger of Rhodes!!” Xenophon suddenly shouted

Davos brows skip He heard Antonios say that the Rhodians are good at throwing rocks a a rock up to 400~500 h precision within 100 meters Therefore, the Mediterranean city-states likes to eer as an important reserve force of their army

The reason why Davos is familiar with the naer, but it was also because of ”One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World” that idely circulated in his previous life, – The Colossus of the Sun God of Rhodes that was built on this island, but it seems that it have been built after Alexander the Great

Davos thought to himself In fact, the Greek city-states have many unique and elite military units, such as the Archers of Crete, the Cavalry of Thessaly, the Slingers of Rhodes, the Hoplites of Sparta, and the Navy of Athens… if Greece was united and these force are integrated then they will surely be able to dominate the Mediterranean!

”Agree!”

In the face of this crisis, the leaders united and quickly reached an agreement

The whole mercenary troops iood at slings, were organize and more than 50 packhorses were assembled Most of the cavalryman that was selected came from Davos camp, and most of the soldiers in his camp are Thessalian

When Xenophon recommended the Athenian, Lucius, as the captain of the cavalry unit, Davos expressed his disagreement and believed that his own camp, the Thessalian Ledes (recommended by Philesius) was more appropriate
