Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 623: Army Chief and Young Team Officers

"I need your lord. After receiving the declaration of war from the Senate, immediately send someone to inform the surrounding city-states and the Sikel tribes who are friendly to us." Leotizides is also polite, saying straightforwardly: "I urge The allies such as Taunis and Leotini sent troops to Agilion to meet with the Eighth Army. In addition, in the aspect of raising and transporting military food, I also hope that you can help the eighth Army’s chief officers... and send Your powerful people take over the Sikel town we occupied."

Ciplos pondered for a while, and said righteously: "I can agree to all of your requests. I am also preparing to write a letter to His Majesty explaining the reason why we sent troops first. I believe he will be able to forgive me. In addition, I have to inform Sicully, Naxos, and especially Milon, I am sure he will agree with you and give you strong support from the north of Mount Etna."

Leotizides did not expect that Cipros not only agreed to cooperate very aptly, but also more thoughtful than he thought, and took some responsibilities on his own initiative. He always said that he was not good at expressing gratitude: "Thank you ."

"Okay, I won't disturb you for the expedition. May Hades bless the Eighth Army!" Cipros stood up.

Stefanus sent him out.

Ciplos turned around and said to him in the tone of his elders: "This is a great opportunity to make a good contribution. Follow the commander of the Prossius Army well to fight, don't lose to your friend Patroclus "After finishing, Cipros blinked at him narrowly.

Cipros had a good impression on the Dionysian army from the beginning, and later had the friendship of fighting side by side with the Dionysian regiments in the Southern Italian War. After entering the senate, Cipros was also with Kapu Former mercenary veterans such as Sis, Hilos, Amintas, and Alexis communicated closely, and they were naturally familiar with Amintas' adopted sons.

Seeing Cipros walked away by the guards, Stevelos laughed blankly. Cipros' words reminded him of the fellow classmate who had served as the captain of the team and led the army to kill the enemy in Dawn. Inadvertently smiling again.

"Stevies!" A voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Diocassis!" Steve Ross looked at the man who was striding forward in front of him, and he was surprised: what was going on today, constantly meeting acquaintances.

Stiflos and Diocassis were both the orphans of the Amendollars. Later, one became the adopted son of Amintas, and the other was the adopted son of Drax. Play together, the relationship is very good.

Stiflos immediately went up and gave Diocassis a strong hug: "Brother, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you here to see the head of Prosius Army?"

"Yes, is he inside?" Theocassis asked in a slightly nervous voice.

"Yes! He should be in a good mood by now." Stiflos reminded him.

"Thank you, brother!" Diorcassis patted his shoulder gratefully, then took a deep breath and shouted: "Report, Judge Diorcasis is asking!"

"...Come in." Leotichides' majestic voice came from the room.

Dioccass entered the room.

Leotizides was still staring at the map on the wall.

"Lord of the Legion!" Dioccass saluted.

"What's the matter?" Leotizides didn't look back.

"Master Legion, I was the captain of the first company of the first brigade. Now... I am now suddenly appointed as a military judge. Why?" Theocassis asked with courage.

"...This is not my order." Leotizides responded faintly.

"I know. But I hope you can let me return to the position of captain of the first company. I am not good at the job of a military judge. I am better at leading soldiers to kill enemies." , These words are straightforward.

Leotizides heard this and immediately turned around, looked him up and down, and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Yes, Lord Legion!" Dioccass said loudly.

Leotizides nodded: "I agree, you can step down as a military judge and go to the first company."

"Uh?!" Dioccass was originally prepared to argue. Unexpectedly, Leotizides promised to be so refreshing. He thought he had heard it wrong and said subconsciously: "The judge of that army..."

"This is not your concern." Leotizides interrupted him stiffly: "But if you don't do well in the position of the company captain, you may only be a military judge in the Eighth Army in the future. Now."

"Do not worry!" Dioccass was excited again for a military salute, and while turning away, he also gave a high-five to Steffos at the door to celebrate.

"Steflos." Leotizides shouted.

"in!"

Leotizides looked at his young adjutant and said, "I remember you were a company captain of the Second Corps before being transferred to the adjutant of the Eighth Army. How did you perform in the battle?"

When Stevelos heard this, he immediately replied confidently: "Of course it is very good, I also led the team to break through Manduria." If it was not because he was trying to breathe out to Gidia, Laodisian’s The son was severely wounded, so that his adoptive father, Amintas, would send him to the 8th Legion of Sicily as an adjutant. While avoiding the limelight, Amintas also wanted to let Leotizides, who is famous for his severeness Discipline him well.

"Will you go down to lead the team to fight?" Leotizides spit out aloud.

"I... can I?" Steve Floston excited.

"I only need a herald here, but the fourth company of the second battalion is in desperate need of a company captain. Go and get acquainted with your soldiers." Leotizides waved his hand.

"Yes!" Steve Rose excitedly paid a military salute, turned to go, remembered something, hurried forward, gave Leotizides a hug, and then ran away quickly.

There was a smile on Leotizides's expressionless face.

Due to the influence of Sicilian veterans such as Laodisian and other Sicilian veterans, some Sicilian citizens who are closely related to them are also involved and are under investigation. Therefore, there is a shortage in the regular establishment of the Eighth Army, and soldiers can be supplemented by reserve soldiers. However, the lack of team officers is a bit troublesome. If there is no suitable team officer to fill, it will have an impact on the combat effectiveness of the legion, so when Felixius sent their private letter, I hope that the only "child" of Drakos can Without killing the enemy, Leotizides's heart is resisted. When Diorcassis urged to return to his original position, he naturally pushed the boat.

……………………………………

Just as the Turuli Football Finals were in full swing, the veteran’s hospital invaded the territory of the same tribe with “the Sikel tribe Tanikian intentionally bribed the Dionysian veterans, indiscriminately violated Dionysian laws, and violated the agreement. "Destroy the peace and tranquility of Sicily", through Davos's proposal, declared war on Tanikian, and at the same time the trial of the veterans such as Laodisian and Lesi Peratus also began.

Unlike ten years ago, in order to reveal the ambitions and stability of the Syracuse people to the public, the trial was held in Victory Square, and this time Davers felt that it was no longer necessary. According to normal procedures, the trial was held in the Supreme Court However, there are still a lot of people pouring in, hoping to witness first-hand veterans such as Laodisian called "Polykes II" being severely punished by law.

While the attention of the people of Turui was completely attracted by the rugby match and court trial, King Davers, who really had the final ruling power, quietly came to Kunogolata's mansion under the guard of the court guard. .

"How's his situation?" Daveus asked with concern Helps who had hurried downstairs.

Helps sighed in pity: "Adult Kunogolata's lungs have been exhausted. He was cold again yesterday. He coughed all night and he was covered with bloody sputum. He passed out in a coma this morning and he hasn't awakened until now. ,already……"

Daveus silently raised his eyes and looked around, seeing the sad face of Sostatus accompanying him in the living room, suddenly realized what was missing, and asked, "Sostatus, what about your brother? "

"Still in the First Army." Sostatus replied.

Daveus froze and asked doubtfully: "Don't the Military Department approve that he can stay at home to take care of his sick father?"

"That's because my father thought he was okay, and he didn't want his brother to be considered an obligation to escape military service because he took care of him..." Sostatus said softly.

Sostatus wife Krina, who was busy commanding the slave girl and preparing a noon meal for the king’s arrival, entered the living room. After hearing this, she complained: "I think my father is confused, in case he is really... …No way, if Dika Okrat is not at home, he may be accused by the public.”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Sostatus scolded busy.

"Am I wrong?" Krina Xing's eyes widened, so that Sostatus, who had become a great Dionysian businessman, dared not speak again.

Daveus didn't read the joke at the moment: "Krina was right, Kunogolata..." He sighed, feeling heavier, walking quickly to the door, whispering to the palace guard Chief Martius said: "You rush to the military department immediately and tell Hilos that his father-in-law is going to die soon, let him hurry up! ... and let him find a way to make Dika Okrat return from Dawn quickly , Don't miss it..."

As soon as his words fell, he heard a rapid footstep in the courtyard, and Silos hurried to the main building with his wife and children in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, do I still need to go to the Military Department?" Martius asked.
