"That was a moment of anger. In fact, Hiros is a very nice and humble person. He often asks me questions." Anticles said frankly: "Besides, my two new sons-in-law are new citizens, especially The eldest son-in-law is the sub-commander! Do you see that, over there... the tall man in the white helmet is my eldest son-in-law!"
"I said Anticles, what is a squad leader! How many people! I think you and I were even the squad leader." Stromboli disagreed.
"That's different. We were appointed by the consul because of our aristocratic status. But according to Trotiras, the consul of Davos stipulated that 'the squad leader must be experienced in many battles and be recognized by the soldiers. , who were elected by them and approved by their superiors, can only serve.' Therefore, they can command the soldiers who are also experienced and arrogant." Anticles said proudly.
Stromboli stopped talking, and no matter how much he stabbed him, he could not deny the strength of the soldiers of the Persian Expeditionary Force. He was able to lead them, and his natural ability was extraordinary.
…
Christoya looked at Davos, who was standing tall amid the cheers, in the center of the square, her eyes blurred: This is the husband she chose in the midst of the war, and it turned out that her vision was right, and Davos realized his ideal!
"Lord Archon is so majestic!" A crisp voice woke her up, she didn't have to look back, she knew it was Andrea. A few days ago, Christoya learned about Andrea's story in a chat with Davos, and was moved by her infatuation. On the grounds of running a bank and lack of manpower, she asked Andrea to help. Andrea readily agreed, and the two soon became friends. And with Mrs. Davers Cristoia as a shield, there will be much less gossip and staring at Andrea.
"Why did you fall in love with Davos?" Cristoia teased.
"Madam, don't laugh at me." Andrea said angrily.
"I heard that Davos ordered the Lucanians to come to watch the ceremony too. After the end, I'll ask Davos to arrange for you to meet him, how about that?" Cristoia said seriously.
Andrea expressed her gratitude generously: "Thank you madam!"
Cristoia looked back at her and said, "Are you really going to wait for him for five years?"
Andrea nodded without hesitation.
In addition to sighing, Cristoia remembered what Davos had said, and said, "Then you should persuade Bagule more, take care of his people, make no mistakes, and earnestly complete the various tasks assigned by the city-state, Once the city-state has any major action, actively participate in it, strive to make achievements, and shorten the five-year period as soon as possible!…”
Andrea nodded heavily.
Kristoya stroked her face with emotion: "Sister sincerely hopes that you don't wait too long, and your wish will finally come true!"
Andrea bit her lip and wanted to cry.
… … … … …
The military officer Felixius stepped forward and said loudly: "Now, on behalf of the Senate, I announce the establishment of the First Legion of Amendolara! The commander of the legion is Davos, the life-long consul!"
The audience erupted in cheers.
"Grant the flag of the First Legion!"
The bugle sounded, and the square was solemn.
Felixius looked solemn, holding a four-meter long flag in both hands. Davos took it respectfully with both hands, raised it high, and slowly circled around the platform.
Mersis shouted from the sidelines: "Did you see it! That's what I spent several days designing carefully and urging people to do it specially, isn't it beautiful?!!"
"You designed it?" skepticism was written on Marigi's face.
Mersis laughed dryly: "I said that, it was Davos who designed the flags, but without me, these flags couldn't be made so quickly!"
The soldiers held their breath and looked up at the golden flag in the air. The top of the flag was a brass statue of Hades holding a double fork (no way, Amendolara is poor now, and can only use brass temporarily), the statue The next circle is a red fluffy flag tassel, and then the straight flagpole is covered with a straight square red wool and linen mixed heavy fabric. The flag is embroidered with golden Greek "First Legion", and the other side is in the middle. There is a gold star painted on it, and Davos is pointing at this gold star, and loudly said to the soldiers in the audience: "Brothers of the First Legion, this gold star represents your annihilation of the Lucanian tribal coalition and the recovery of Amen. Dolara, the honor of being the founder of the new Legion of Amendolara, it is unique!"
The soldiers cheered loudly, straightened their chests, and looked at the flag of Venus shining with pride in their eyes.
"Next, every time you win a big victory, there will be a gold star drawn on it, so that the people will remember your achievements! I hope you will use the continuous victory to spread the gold star all over this legion flag!" Davos's ardent expectations made The soldiers cheered in excitement: "Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!!"
"Wan Sheng!!!"
… … … …
The morale of the soldiers in the square was at its peak.
"I have never heard of such a military flag since I participated in the city-state battle for decades! Such a way to boost morale! As a citizen soldier, it is such an honor to fight under such a military flag!!" Anticles Looking forward to the flag.
"I heard that the top of this banner is inlaid with a statue of Hades. This is Davos's implicit claim that he is the patron of Hades!" Stromboli said dissatisfiedly.
"Don't you say that many people think this is a fact!" Anticles said disapprovingly, he covered the stump of his right hand with his left hand, and said with a sigh: "Besides, Hades is on our side, bringing death to the enemy, This is a good thing! It can be expected that our First Legion will become a terrible army! It is a pity that I cannot fight under the banner of Hades!"
… … … …
"Please let the flag bearer of the First Legion, Martius, come to the stage to receive the flag!" Felixius shouted.
Martius, the usually daring captain of the guard, couldn't help but feel a little nervous at the moment. He tightened his armor again, straightened his helmet again, and stepped onto the stage with a solemn expression, standing with his feet firmly in front of Davos, right fist He punched his left chest violently.
Davos also returned to the military salute and said loudly: "The legion's flag bearer is the bravest soldier in the entire army. It is the highest honor! I hope you will hold the battle flag high on the battlefield. No matter how dangerous the front is, you will always be there. Go forward and inspire the whole army to victory!"
Martius solemnly took the flag and solemnly swore: "Hades is above, I, Martius, will love the flag as much as my own eyes, and will always move forward and never retreat!"
In the cheers, Matonis whispered: "If I hadn't become the company captain, this flag bearer must be mine!"
"Next, please take the first brigade captain Caps to the stage to accept the first brigade flag!"
Before Caps could leave, the soldiers behind him began to urge, "Captain, hurry up! Hurry up and pick up the flag!..."
Capps took the stage unhurriedly.
Davos took the flag from the guard, held it in his hand, and said to Capps earnestly: "The first brigade of the legion sets an example for the entire legion, the elite of the elite! In battle, where is the most difficult, where is the most difficult Dangerous, the first brigade must rise to the challenge and open the door to victory for the entire army! I hope you keep this in mind!"
"The First Brigade of the First Army will certainly not disappoint you, the Consul, the First Brigade will always be the spear of the entire army!" Caps's tone was as strong and powerful as a stone.
He had formed the flag of the first brigade and looked at it carefully: unlike the flag of the legion, the top of the flag was an iron statue of Thanatos, the god of death under Hades, the king of the underworld. He was holding a sword and wearing a black robe. Open his wings, his face is hideous. There is also a red flag on the flagpole below the statue, with the golden Greek text of "First Brigade of the First Army" embroidered on the shoe, and a gold star on the reverse...
Caps waved the flag, and the soldiers of the first brigade in the audience cheered.
Next on the stage was the second brigade captain, Drakes, who had not recovered from his injuries and was still wearing bandages, but he was still fully armed. As he staggered onto the stage, there were cheers of encouragement from the soldiers below.
Looking at this tough guy who had fought with him, Davers asked with concern, "Drax, are you okay?"
"The doctor said it's all right." Drakes looked calm. Facing Davos who had beaten him before, he now had only respect in his heart: "Thank you for your concern, Lord Consul!"
"The battle with the Lukania coalition gave me a glimpse of the bravery of the soldiers of the second brigade. But to be honest, compared with the first brigade, there is still a big gap between you. I hope that in your future training, Restrict them according to military law, train them, and let them catch up as soon as possible!" Davos said with ardent expectations.
"Don't worry, Lord Archon, the second brigade will not lose to anyone!" Drax said decisively.
When Hieronymus, the captain of the third brigade, took the stage, Davos didn't say much, because he knew that Hieronymus would definitely train his brigade hard.
When Epithenis, the leader of the seventh brigade, took the stage, the nimble brigade captain took the initiative to ask Davos: "My lord, you see that my brigade has the smallest number of people, and there are still four hundred people to fill the establishment. Can you? Allow me to send some light shields, archers and slingers to Thrace, Crete and Rhodes?"
"To become a freeman in Amendolara?" Davos asked with a half-smile.
"Of course, I started as a free citizen, and then, according to your proposal in the Senate, Lord Consul, apply to become a citizen of Amendolara after a few years." Epithenes laughed.
Davos was happy to see this happen, but he reminded Epithenes.
