Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 30: Army General Assembly
lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
Although Daves was new to the military, he also saw that this formation was mainly to prevent Persian raids and protect the baggage. With such a wide frontal march, the speed is definitely not fast. Under the Persian persecution, this is also Helpless move.
Several people gathered around to look at the crude sketches on the ground.
Tima Song pointed to the two squares in the front, and said: "Kelithorpes is a Spartan, and all of his soldiers are Rassidi dreamers, rich in combat experience, and they will be responsible for them. Forward, open the way for the whole army, I think everyone will be at ease."
No one disagrees with this proposal.
"Secondly..." Timathon thought about which position his barracks should be in charge of.
"Secondly, I am the youngest, and I am willing to be the queen of the army!" Daves said emotionally.
Filisius was excited and thought: It's over, Daves forgot to discuss what he had discussed in advance, and took the initiative to ask to be a guard. As expected, he was still young and inexperienced!
Under the gaze of all eyes, Felicius dared not make big moves, so he kept winking at Daves.
But Timathon said in surprise: "You...you want the queen?! No! No!" He shook his head repeatedly: "The defender is very important. You must have rich experience to face all kinds of complicated situations. If you don’t handle it well, it will drag down the whole army. I think it’s better to... our military barracks will serve as the guard."
As soon as Tima Song finished speaking, Daves answered: "Isn't there another guard? I would like to serve with you!"
"No!!" Timathon refused loudly without even thinking about it: "Criano, come and be the queen with me!" He directly designated his comrades who would fight alongside him.
Criano’s relationship with Timathon is good, so he nodded at the moment.
The choice of guard was decided so quickly. Felicius didn't understand at this moment that Daves had set a trap deliberately just now to lure Timathon into the bait, and he was not worthy of being an adjutant.
The gully between Kerry Thorpes’s eyebrows has deepened. He doesn’t appreciate Davers’s tricks, but rather dislikes them, but he knows Timathon’s choice is right, so he is right. Daves said: "Your barracks are responsible for protecting the left wing." Since the mercenaries marched north along the Tigris River, the left wing is next to the river bank most of the time and should be the least dangerous.
Daves saw the unabashed contempt in the eyes of Grithorpes, he squeezed his fist secretly and nodded in agreement.
Next, Kerry Thorpes proposed to let Zantiparis be the forward with him.
The same unwillingness is Hironimos, Grythorpes, they also considered that the former adjutant of Proxinus barracks was Agarcia, and now the elected leader has been replaced by the squadron leader Hi Ronimos, but he was the last one to arrive, indicating that the soldiers of this barracks had a greater dispute over who should be the leader. To be on the safe side, let their barracks be the right wing.
After the leaders have completed the military meeting, it is time to hold the general assembly.
This is not only a public appearance of the new leader, but also a good opportunity to unify the soldiers' minds, so Kerry Thorpes reminds everyone to say more morale-boosting words.
When making requests to the leaders, his gaze stayed more on Daves. He was worried about this too young leader. You must know that it was a gathering of tens of thousands of people. Most people were in such a big gathering. It is estimated that the nervousness can't even speak under the scene. In case Daves messes up, this well-arranged swearing ceremony can be turned into a farce!
So, he proposed to Daves that he could let the adjutant Felicius speak for him.
But Daves insisted on going in person.
Kerrythorpes's face is very ugly, but he has to let Davers attend, because he is the new leader unanimously elected by the Menon Barracks, with 1,400 soldiers under his control, which is about the entire population. One-ninth of the army. So he placed Davers in second place. If Davers performs badly, there will be leaders behind to make up for it.
……………………………………
It was the end of August, late summer, and the weather in the afternoon was no longer so hot.
A wooden platform was erected in the center of the Tima Song Barracks (formerly the Clearkus Barracks). The surrounding tents have been cleared and a large area of open space has been taken up by soldiers from various mercenary camps. They Or stand or sit, chat and complain with each other...
The whole venue was crowded with people, and the voice was noisy...
Kelithorpes and his party were escorted by heavily armed soldiers, squeezing a passage from the dense crowd, and came under the wooden platform.
Kerry Thorpes came on stage first.
There was a commotion among the soldiers in the audience.
Because of Kerry Thorpes' deliberately low-key before, most ordinary soldiers didn't know who he was. They were surprised to see a stranger first on stage and asked each other his name.
A dozen soldiers with loud voices stood around the wooden platform. They were responsible for repeating the speech of the speaker so that the thousands of soldiers in the audience could hear it.
Krythorpes opened his mouth and said: "Brothers from all over Greece, I am the Ombudsman of Sparta, Krythorpes!"
After the reposts from the soldiers on the wooden platform, the soldiers under the stage were in an uproar. The shock in their hearts was greater than when Davers heard the news: the Spartan soldiers passed one after another in the past century. The battles made the Greeks of other city-states amazed by their bravery and strength. Today, Sparta has become the hegemon of the Greek world, dominating the Mediterranean. The inspectors of Sparta were among the ordinary freedmen. How could they not be excited and excited. The soldiers who had been panicked because of the leader's murder suddenly felt dependent, and their panicked faces began to appear. After Scarlet, I have some curiosity to pay attention to things other than survival: Why does the high-ranking Spartan Ombudsman appear here?
So when Grithorpes asked them to keep quiet, the soldiers stopped making noise.
"Brothers, we are in a terrible situation now! Not only have we lost the leaders, some squadron captains and soldiers who have been with you for a long time, and some of the squadron captains and soldiers; and our former ally Alireus and his men also betrayed us. But, the more critical the situation is, the more we must cheer up and face the Persians who want to destroy us bravely, and never give in. We must use the bravery and shield spear of our Greeks to defeat the enemy for ourselves. Make a way back to Greece to survive! Zeus will walk with the brave!!" Spartans really like to make short words and hacks. Kerrythorpes just reminded everyone to say more inspiring words, but he himself just let the soldiers They got excited and quickly ended the speech.
When Grithorpes stepped down and crossed his shoulders with Daves, I saw Daves smiling at him, thinking: It’s okay, this young leader doesn’t look nervous, but why should he bring a herald to the stage? , Let him hold a dozen thin wooden sticks?
Asistus also didn’t understand Daves’s purpose of letting him follow him on stage with a wooden stick, but when he stood on the wooden stage, he immediately couldn’t think about it anymore, because the stage was everywhere. It was crowded, dense and dense, extending far away... and the noise in the ears at the moment was far more noisy than under the stage, as if the sea was setting off a violent wind and waves, and he and Daves were floating in the deep sea alone. The small boat here is in danger of capsizing at any time.
Asistus could not stop the trembling of his legs, he even felt that he might collapse with the same trembling wooden platform under his feet at any time...
"Oh! Oh! Look! Who is this?!"
"A little guy who hasn't grown his hair yet! This is not where you should be! Get out, go home and drink mother's milk! Hahaha..."
"Should this be the new leader elected by which military camp?! Are they crazy!!"
………
Laughs and doubts are overwhelming.
Asisters was shocked, and stepped back, almost to the edge of the wooden table. What makes him admire is that Davers is still standing steadily in the middle of the wooden platform...
The leaders in the audience also felt a little intolerable. They were no longer dissatisfied with Daves. At this moment, facing thousands of soldiers, they were one body.
Tima Song complained: "I knew this would happen, so I shouldn't let him go up, this is hell!"
Others also agreed.
Xenophon said hurriedly: "Hurry up and let the next leader come up and replace him."
Kerry Thorpes had already regretted his previous decision, and he nodded in agreement.
