Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Look, Patroclus will use more of the 500 mountain reconnaissance brigades in his hands. They are the key to winning."

...

The watching officers whispered that the two protagonists on the field were still staring at the map, thinking hard.

At this time, Tolmed said again: "I announced that the tactical assessment officially began!"

"When!" A clear bell sounded, and the two protagonists stood up and stepped back a few steps at a time. Ten soldiers carried a few wide wooden boards into the field, standing on the wooden board map, and isolated the two from seeing the full picture. Of course, Sectus has a defensive advantage. The range of the map he can see is larger, and Patroclus's sight is limited to the southwest corner of the map.

Several tactical executives also stood beside the two protagonists by holding tactical pieces. These tactical pieces are small wooden sculptures of heavy infantry, light infantry, javelinmen, cavalry, etc. When they were placed on the map, they made serious The tactical assessment has a little fun of the game.

At this time, Matonis picked up two dice and threw a "7". After the referees picked up the table for comparison, they said aloud: "Day 1, heavy rain!"

After listening to the two protagonists, after thinking, they used white pen to learn the measures they took on the first day on the small wooden board that they carried, and then the executive took their board to the referee seat.

After seeing the orders given on the board, the referees ruled that they were feasible.

Therefore, the executor began to place tactical pieces on the map according to the orders on the board.

Matonis threw the game again, then looked at Patroclus and said aloud, "The second day is heavy rain!"

There was a small disturbance in the watching officers around, but the look of Patroclusus remained unchanged. After thinking about it, he wrote down his decision again.

…………………………………………

While most of the officers in the Turiyi Barracks gathered in the tactical exercise room and watched the two perform the assessment, King Davers came to the Turiyi Barracks, accompanied by the Secretary of State Alexis.

The head of the first legion, Leotizides, hurried to greet the news.

Knowing that tactical assessments were taking place in the barracks, Davers told Leotizides not to inform them for the time being, and he took the guards to the military conference room to wait.

"Plosuos, who do you think will win?" Idle, and Davos chatted with Leotizides.

"Patrocros was flexible and decisive in his actions; Sectus was attentive and calm, very calm, and both were excellent officers. According to the information I got, in this assessment, Seck Stus is responsible for defense, and Patroclus is responsible for the offense. This allocation is in line with their fighting style. However, in the mountains, the defense is more dominant. To win, Palrockros will need a little luck."

"Yeah, luck is an important factor in winning or losing in the war, and it is up to the gods to decide. But in the assessment, it is determined by the referee's luck..." Daveus joked A sentence, and then turned the topic: "Do you have any views on whether to send a legion to build a fortress defense at the border this time?"

"Your Majesty, I don’t think it’s a problem to send various legions to take turns to stay at the border for more than half a year. In fact, each legion stays at the border for not too long, and there are nearly 20 legions in the kingdom. It’s at least a few rounds to be taken once. Years later, let’s say that these legionnaires have multiple slaves in their own homes, and they have enough labor in their homes to do the housework...” Leotizides replied without hesitation.

Hernipporis pouted, slandering in his heart: Of course, Prosius would say so, is there anything other than military in your eyes!Since you served as the commander of the First Legion, the citizens of the entire Turui region have been tormented by you and have given you a nickname "Iron Man"...

Daveus was a serious listener, and nodded from time to time.

The two chatted for a while, as if Davis thought of something and asked, "Prosius, haven't you been home in the past six months?"

Leotizides froze for a moment and then answered: "Your Majesty, I just took over the First Army and want to get familiar with this army as soon as possible, so--"

Davers waved his hand and persuaded with concern: "Don't worry too much. From the current situation, the Kingdom will not have a major war in a short time, and the First Army will not be sent to the battlefield in a short time. You have some time to get acquainted with the First Army. You still have to take time out and go back to accompany your family! Your home is in the city of Turi, not far away, you haven’t even seen it once in half a year. I went to the Military Department! I don’t know what happened and thought I was detained here by Daphus. I don’t want to be wronged!"

Daveus said jokingly, then patted Leo Tizids on the shoulder, and said in a gentle but irresistible tone: "Tomorrow you will go home to rest for a few days to relax yourself. And let the soldiers relax, okay?"

Leotizides hesitated for a while before saying reluctantly, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"That's right, you need to understand the combination of work and rest!" Davers smiled.

The corner of Hernipolis' mouth was slightly curled.

The two were talking, and the chief of the palace guard Maltius entered the military conference room: "Your Majesty, the tactical assessment has ended."

"Who won?" Henripolis asked curiously first.

"Sectus won." Maltius reported to the equally curious Daveus: "Patrolos had bad luck, and the heavy rains for a few days before the battle began, preventing his army from crossing the river. However, he still insisted on letting the engineering camp bridge, attracting the army of Sextus to block on the other side, but in the dark secretly divided some of the troops to raft up the river and ventured to cross the river forcibly.

Although Sextus arranged a lot of sentries to monitor the upstream river bank and discovered this situation, and he quickly sent an army to stop, but the referee made a ruling. Because of the distance, the army of Sextus Can't arrive in time.

Although Patroclus's army succeeded in crossing the river, it also drowned many soldiers because of the soaring river.Sectus decisively led the army to retreat back to the mountains. Patroclus immediately established a defensive camp on the other side of the river, and it took a few days for the whole army to cross the river.In the process of marching towards the mountains, his army was constantly harassed by the light infantry of Samone sent by Sextus, slowing their speed of advance.

And Sectus used this time to build a simple defensive cottage on a dangerous terrain on the way, and hoarded heavy soldiers.The two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle here. Due to the narrow mountain road, the superior strength of Patroclus could not be fully deployed, and at the critical moment, heavy rain was thrown again and again, which seriously affected the attack of the Patrocros side, so time At the end, his army still failed to break through the blockade.

However, he secretly dispatched 1,000 soldiers, mainly composed of mountain detection soldiers, to climb the mountain and bypass the path, sneaking into the main camp of the Sectus army, but because the main force of Sectus is still, Patroc Rose's military supplies have been exhausted, so the referee finally decided that Sectus won...but the judges unanimously ruled that both of them passed the tactical assessment based on the performance of both parties."

After listening to it carefully, Davers said with emotion: "Although it was just talking on paper, but they also realized the difficulty of fighting in the mountains! ... However, since this tactical assessment is based on the mountains of Samone Then, did the magistrates consider that the spring rainy season should be avoided during the troop dispatch?"

"I asked Tolmed, he said that the combat time is set in summer, so when designing the table, only two of the 12 weather options are related to rain, which are light rain and heavy rain, but they are in the assessment. The worst item in the second throw."

After Martius finished his speech, Daveus also felt a little surprised. After a while, he shrugged and said, "This just shows that the volatility of war is beyond our control. I think today's tactical assessment is very good, very good. Gave them a lesson..."

Daphes was talking, noisy footsteps were heard outside the door.

Daveus stopped talking and took his exclusive helmet from Henripolis and put it on his head.

Secretary of State Alexis led Chief of Staff Tormid, Chief of the Second Army Matonis and other generals into the conference room. After saluting to Daveus, they stood side by side.

Then Patroclus and Sextus came in. They already knew what would happen next, so they were very excited, and stood straight after the military salute to Daveus.

Daveus looked around the room, and then said solemnly, "Go."

Secretary of State Alexis took a step forward and unfolded the scroll of papyrus bound in black cloth, reading aloud: "Given that Patroclus and Sextus had outstanding achievements in the past, and passed the In the official assessment, after the negotiation between His Majesty King Davos and the Military Department, they were promoted to the rank of regiment leader!"

As soon as his voice paused, cheers rang around him, and there was a smile on the tight faces of the two.

Alexis continued: "And Patroclus became the commander of the 14th Legion (mainly in the Latium region), and Sextus became the commander of the 18th Legion (the southern region of Iberia) and immediately went to No delay in taking office!"

On the side of Felix, they were a little surprised: the promotion of the two to the commander of the army is reasonable, but it is rare in recent years to give practice after promotion!
