Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After Capus was promoted to the vacant company captain position, Davers proposed that the 20 company leaders of the five companies under the first brigade should be candidates for the soldiers to be elected. Si was a little surprised. Matonis was elected. The reason was: the first was that he protected the short, so the soldiers loved it; the second was that he fought bravely and was respected by the soldiers.

The soldiers of the second brigade consisted of the mercenaries brought by Drakos, Sesta, and Adrians. Because Drakos brought the most mercenaries, coupled with their bravery and tenacity, so when fighting The three often dominated him, so the captain was Drakos.Sesta and Adrians were the captains of the first and second companies of the second team.

The soldiers of the third brigade consisted of the six and seven heavy infantry companies (mainly expeditionary soldiers who joined in Byzantium), the original citizens of Amendola, the city-state freemen converted from slaves in the camp, and the There are a small number of Drakos and their mercenaries. The commander of the team is Hironimos. He originally served as a mercenary leader in Persia. This time it is also regarded as "official restoration."The leader of the first company of the third brigade was Agacia.

Then came the seventh brigade, the light infantry brigade. The leader of the brigade was Epithenis and served as the captain of the first company, the captain of the second company was Zpitt, and the captain of the third company was Alpence.

In addition there is the cavalry team, captain Ledes.

Daphes also strictly regulated the helmets of officers of various ranks: the captain's helmet crown should be decorated with a white cap, the captain's helmet cap should be red, and the captain's helmet cap must be purple. The captain's helmet and crown cap are red, white and purple.At the same time, it also stipulates that the team caps must be arranged from front to back to facilitate unification and combat.Of course, Davers only made regulations, and the Treasury didn’t have the money to help the team officials uniformly refit, but on their own.

But as soon as the regulations came out, the team officers immediately paid for it and tried to find a way to go to the Herakliya or Turiyi weapon shop (Amendola is still a waste of life, how can there be any shop), because this is a soldier's honor.In the previous life, Davis watched movies and TV, and always thought that the ancient Western generals' helmets were adorned with tall hats and tassels just to show their beauty and show their different identities.After more than half a year of battle, Davers realized that this dress is necessary: ​​in the fierce battle between the two sides, the time is long, the formation is easily confused, and once the soldiers leave the team and lose their organization, they can be crowded. In the jungle, in addition to looking for the military flag, you can also find the team officers through the towering and gorgeous hats, and automatically move closer to the officers to regroup and restore the combat effectiveness.And the commander can also easily find the team officer general, and timely convey the new command of the superior.This is just like the military rank system in the previous life, except that in the cold weapon era, if the general's level mark is placed on the shoulder, in the dusty, screaming battlefield, even the eyes of the soldiers can not see.

………………………

In the early morning, the citizens of Amendolara, as well as the free people, came to the square in full force.

Freemen have just left slavery and could not afford to buy weapons and equipment.

However, after the last defeat of Turiyi, in order to allow Davos mercenaries to continue to defend the Xubari Plains and contain the Lucanias, Turiyi presented thousands of complete weapons and equipment to the mercenaries, and was destroying Lucca. After the Allied Forces of Niah, mercenaries picked up nearly 10,000 sets of shields and armor on thousands of corpses (including the burnt ruins of Lucania). Of course, these weapons and equipment belong to all mercenaries, and It should not be included in the Armandola weapons warehouse.

On the issue of how to distribute these loot, the team officers had heated discussions, and the more unified opinion was: to split the money from the sale of the loot among each soldier.Daphes made his own suggestion: a wounded and disabled soldier should set up a weapon shop in the market of Amendola, specializing in repairing and selling weapons and equipment seized in the battle, and the profits obtained will be used to subsidize those now and in the future. The lives of soldiers who were injured or even disabled during the battle.

This proposal was immediately unanimously endorsed by the team officers. Later, the soldiers knew it, and they were all grateful to Daveus. After all, no one can guarantee that they will not be injured in the future. With these "disability subsidies," They have less scruples about fighting.

Therefore, a large weapon shop quickly opened in the market, and launched its own signature "legion", the store is large, a lot of weapons and equipment, considering the heavy infantry's complete equipment worth 400 to 600 drachma, the price is very expensive , So rental is also allowed.Even if the rent is not a small sum, the free people are still willing to rent because they know that only by joining the army and participating in the battle can they quickly become citizens and obtain land!At the same time, being a soldier is the glory of citizens and the best way for free citizens to quickly improve their status as a city-state!

But where does the money for rent come from?The liberals didn’t worry for too long. They soon discovered that they had opened a bank called “Christoya” on the market, with extremely low interest rates (compared to the loan interest of the Greek city-state at the time), and it was well known that Stoia is the wife of the governor Daveus. These freemen who had accompanied the mercenaries to fight for thousands of miles knew that Daveus was a man and decided to borrow money from this bank.This also became the first loan of Kristoya Bank.

Now, when the soldiers arrived at the square, they found their squad, and began to join the squad under the leadership of each squad leader, and then merged into the company, forming a small square, and finally entered the squadron in order. Area.Although the whole process was a little slow, it was not chaotic, and eventually formed three large square arrays in an orderly manner.

Only the third team is still in the team...

Felixius frowned slightly when he saw Daveus on the stage, and said: "Master, the soldiers of the third squadron are the most complex sources, especially those freemen have never received military training before, and the original citizens of Amendora are also No strict training, so—"

Daveus interrupted him: "I understand, so the responsibility of Hironimos is very heavy. I heard that he asked a lot of veterans from the first brigade, and even the always friendly Capps were anxious to him. ."

"Yes, sir. Hironimos is also anxious, but he is a very responsible person!" Felix explained gently.

Daveus smiled: "Well, soldiers, there must be something serious about doing things and not convinced to lose. I believe that Hironimos will soon let the third brigade catch up!"

Then he asked again: "Are the Lucalia coming?"

"Come." Felixius pointed at a small slope in the southeast corner outside the square and said worriedly: "Adult, they may have eight or nine hundred people, in case of chaos -"

"That's right!" Daveus said disapprovingly: "Soldiers on the square can wipe them out, I think Weisba and his son will not be so stupid. Moreover, even the women in their family have become our citizens. Wife, most of them are outside today to cheer for their husbands..."

Daveus looked at the hillside in the distance and ordered: "beat the drum."

The drummer waved the drumstick and began to beat the big drum in front of him rhythmically.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..." Hearing the drums, the soldiers on the square began to step on the spot and continue to adjust the formation. When the four squares were all neat and the footsteps were also tidy, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" "The majestic stepping sounds startled the birds and birds, and the beasts fled. Like thunder in the sky, the mountains shook and trembled...

Old citizens such as Cornelius were shocked and their faces eclipsed and muttered: "This is... this is Megatron Persian, the army that annihilates the Lucanias! Sure enough it is...it is different!"

Lucanians saw this scene, most of them pale and silent.

The women and children outside the venue cheered loudly in excitement.

Daphes felt the tremor of the mountain and waved his hand hurriedly, motioning to stop.

The drummer slammed the drumhead twice, and then let go, and the square soon became silent, as if the loud noise before had never happened.A freeman itched his throat, and as soon as he coughed, he was stared back at the veteran squad leader next to him.

Davers took two steps forward on stage: "Brothers!"

The audience shouted in unison: "Daveus!!!"

"Have you had a happy life these days?"

"it is good!!!"

"I'm afraid that life is too good, your feet are soft and can't wield a shield spear!"

The soldiers laughed ambiguously.

"Many of you have fought with me in Persia and won a great name! Then I came to Great Greece, defeated the Lukalia coalition and made dazzling deeds! Now you are all citizens of Amendolara, this is a New beginning! From now on, you will protect Amendolara, develop Amendolara, expand Amendolara, and create immortal glory for future generations!" Daveus said generously.

The soldiers waved their lances up and down, shouting with excitement.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!!"

"Wan Sheng!!!"

...

"You're not a soldier, what are you happy about?" Stromboli saw Antikris beside him holding his left hand high, and some excited people followed the soldiers and cheered, couldn't help saying.

"This is the real army! This is our long-awaited army of Amendolara!" Antikles said excitedly, glancing at his crippled right arm, his expression dimmed again: "Unfortunately I can't Follow them to fight together..."

After all, Stromboli was an old neighbor with Antikris, and he had a good relationship. He did not continue to talk coldly, but instead said with concern: "Don't you hate these outsiders for taking the position of your patrol captain before?"
