Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After thinking for a while, Adoris said regretfully: "From the usual practice, it should be time for the quarterfinals or the quarterfinals.

The soldiers in front of Adoris turned back and said, "Don’t have a sweet dream, even if this war is over soon, we can’t go back immediately, and we will definitely be stationed in various Dawn towns to ensure that the Kingdom’s officials Isn’t that the case for security management in Mesapi and Puceti?"

"I heard that the Dawns are not as fierce as the Mesapi and the Pucciti. They should not be as riotous as the Mesapi, maybe we don't have to stay here for so long." Another soldier speculated.

"That's your naive idea. His Majesty King Davos and the Senate wouldn't think so, would they, Adores?" The soldier in front looked at Adores.

Adoris shrugged: "I don't know, but I hope everyone can go home safely and enjoy the rewards given by the kingdom."

"You said that with the credit we have made in this war, can we share one or two acres of land here, where the land is fertile, not worse than the Xubari Plain."

"How do I know that you should ask the statistician of the yinying camp."

...

Between talking and laughing, the soldiers forgot the march of the march, and arrived at the lower reaches of the Cervaro River more than three hours later.

The city of Sipentum is on the north bank of the Chervaro River estuary, where it happens to be the confluence of several rivers, forming a large lake.

From the perspective of Alexis, Sipentum has a relatively good port. Taking it will facilitate the transportation of the entire army.

At this time, the herald soldiers galloped from the front, shouting all the way: "The enemy was found on the other side, ready to fight!"

The soldiers were immediately excited. After all, fighting with the enemy outside the city was much easier than forcing the city. This was a handy battle.

Soon, the command of the company's captain was conveyed in time: the column became horizontal.

Adoris, under the command of the team officers, faced the Candelaro River and formed a small square formation of the company.

Just then, a huge sigh came in front.

"What happened?"

"Alas... I heard that the Sipentum are going to surrender to the city!"

"Ah?..." The soldiers sighed suddenly.

The team officers warned them not to relax their guard and guard against enemy fraud.

However, the Sipentum really surrendered in this way.

The defeat of the Battle of the Ovanto River, the city of Lucenia was won in just one day, and the powerful military strength displayed by the Kingdom of Dionysia completely deterred the Dawn tribes, not only West Pentum, West, Azerbaijan Towns such as Skurum also surrendered one after another, and the Dawney War finally ended...

…………………………………

The weather in Turi in early November began to cool down, and the fanatical atmosphere set off by the Rugby Finals in early October has just quieted down. The triumphant ceremony that will be held soon will make the whole city enter a festive atmosphere again. .

At this time, in the military barracks west of the city of Turi, some soldiers of the 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th and 10th legions were excitedly looking forward to the triumphant early arrival.

In the commander's account, Alexis is receiving the arrival of the military department.

"You mean... we have to wait two more days here?! The brothers have been on the expedition for more than two months, eager to go home, but you let us wait five days here!" Alexis Some unhappy complained.

"This is not what I mean, this is what your Majesty and the Senate are meant for, and I am only responsible for communicating." Tolmed said righteously

When he heard that it was Davis's will, Alexis stopped talking, but he was still a little unhappy.

Tolmed explained patiently: "The Eighth Army is on the way and will arrive tomorrow. Your Majesty hopes to combine the two victories together and engage in a big triumph, to avoid just holding one, and not two days later. If you want to hold one, the people will be bored and unfair to the bloody soldiers. Your Majesty is afraid that you will have an idea, so let me inform you, and hope you will be considerate!"

Alexis realized that his emotions were overdone, and said: "I have no opinion. We can wait. We are very happy to participate in the Triumph with the Eighth Army led by Prosius!"

"These young officers in the kingdom are really amazing now!" Tormid exclaimed: "Like Prosius is under 40 years old, he can already take charge of a battlefield and command a war!"

"Where is Prosius?" Alexis asked curiously.

"Argos, Turri who came only after the establishment of the Dionysian League, because of his excellent performance in training camp, he was directly recruited to his brigade by Matoris..." Tormid was in the staff. Taking office, the officer's information is relatively clear.

"It seems that Prosius has always performed well. It is no wonder that His Majesty will boldly activate him and let him be responsible for the war against the Sikels. I used to think that he was a mercenary from our Persian expeditionary army..." Alexis Exclaimed.

Tolmed didn't take his word, but instead turned the words forward: "There are also many young officers in the several legions you command that are doing well. Especially Patroclus, who was attacking Luceni When he was in Yacheng, his brigade attacked the city for the first time. His Majesty was very happy to see these reports, but he crossed out the list of candidates for the triumphant flag bearer that you handed over to the Ministry of Military Affairs. name."

Hearing this, Alexis somewhat guessed, but he still asked: "Why?"

"I don't want him to be too ostentatious, so as not to misunderstand the people, thinking that he was biased by His Majesty..." Tolmed said vaguely.

Alexia's adoptive daughter, Gidia, and Cynthia have a close relationship. Of course, Alexis also understands some things in this regard. At this moment, he smiled with a sense of understanding on his face: "It seems that I have to rejoice to your majesty! "

"Alexis, I want to say hi to you too." Tolmed smiled mysteriously.

"What's the joy?" Alexis froze.

"Amintas's adopted son, Stiflos, performed well in this war against the Sikels, and was included by Prosius in the list of candidates for the triumphant flag bearers of the Eighth Army." Tolmed laughed. Said.

Ever since Steffros beat Pavgris, the fact that "Steffros and Gitia are a pair of lovers" has been known to the top of the military department. If it was not to avoid trouble, Amin Tas transferred his adopted son to Sicily, maybe they were married.

"Isn't Stiflos acting as a prosecutor under the Prosius account? How did he make a contribution?" Alexis asked in surprise.

"You don't know yet, Prosius asked him to serve as the company captain." Tolmed replied.

Alexis didn't expect that the young legion chief who seemed to have no contact with anyone would actually make such a move. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, he had to lead it.

"There is also a secret to tell you." Tolmed pretends to be mysteriously next to him: "Your Majesty informed the Military Department that he was going to transfer Steve Flos back to Turri."

"Really!" Alexis was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course, Your Majesty is more concerned about Kitia's marriage than your father. Let's say, when will we be invited to the wedding?" Tolmed said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Alexis meditated and said, "I have to discuss with Amintas, but it must be after Cynthia's wedding."

………………………………

On the day of November 5th, the main road from the north of Turri to the Victory Square was sprinkled with fresh water, flowers, and colorful flags. The Dionysian people poured in from all directions and squeezed the sides of the avenue.The biggest difference between this time and the triumph of the past is that the people of Mesapi and Pucciti have come a lot.

As the high-pitched bugle sounded through the city, the triumph began.

The army, which had already departed from the barracks and arrived in the suburbs, began to march forward in four columns.

At the forefront is the flag bearer holding the flag of the Kingdom of Dionysia.Since the Southern Italian War, the newly revised military law stipulates that the flag bearer in the triumph must be the bravest and most outstanding soldier in the war. He is a model of the entire army, so this leader’s honor is that there is no officer. (The captain is not an officer).

Behind him is the legionnaire of the legion. They are the outstanding performers of the participating legion, which is not limited to soldiers.The 7th Army Corps, the 1st Cavalry Corps, the 1st Army Corps, the 4th Army Corps, the 5th Army Corps, the 8th Army Corps, the 9th Army Corps, and the 10th Army Corps were lined up in a row.

Immediately following were dozens of drummers who played "Victory March", adding joy to the entire celebration.

Subsequent soldiers of the First Legion stepped on a regular pace, raised their chests and stepped forward...

Before the team entered the outer city, it was already welcomed by the Dionysian people. Cheers and screams passed through the soldiers’ eardrums: there were playful children learning how they marched, and enthusiastic girls chasing Throwing petals at them, excited friends and relatives shouted their names...

In such a lively atmosphere, these legionnaires are ignorant of where they are, with a silly smile on their faces, even if they have seen the triumphal Adores many times now, they are too excited to restrain themselves. After all, this is the first time he has enjoyed this glory as a participant in war.

There are also some people in the enthusiastic audience who have asked questions: "Why, why are there two flag bearers walking at the front this time?"

"Did you not read the announcement posted by the Senate? This triumph is to celebrate the victory of the two wars. One is the war against the Dawn and the other is the war against the Sikel. One flagman was selected from each of the armies participating in the two wars."
