Ketisus did not let Alsinis and the others execute the torture, but did it himself, because he can control the force and the impact point very well, which makes Trepandes feel very painful, but also not Will hurt the bones.

After hitting the ten clubs, Trepandes didn't dare to scream loudly, touched his butt, and obediently returned to the team, and followed his teammates for emergency marching training.

The messy heavy footsteps and the harsh armor collision continued to sound, and then Alsinius took the lead. The young people sang the "Song of the Legion" in unison, covering up the noise.

After 50 laps, although the formation of the entire column is not messed up, most of the young people are out of breath, and a few of them even stand unsteadily.

When the youth wanted to catch their breath, Ketisus’s stern voice sounded: "An enemy appeared 100 meters in front of you. The column was split into square formations, and after 50 meters walked steadily, they merged into a continuous line. And start a charge!"

Hearing this, there was a small commotion in the team, and some people murmured their dissatisfaction.

Ketisus glanced at the team with a majestic look, and said disdainfully: "What's the matter? You can't accomplish this amount of exercise?! You know that Armintas commander led the First Army in the Wolsey Territory. When fighting with the Romans for the first time, in order to seize the opportunity, the entire corps of 8,000 people, whether heavy infantry, light armoured or light infantry, marched more than ten miles, immediately went into battle. You should know that Rome at that time The combat effectiveness of the people is very strong, but the soldiers of the First Legion dragged their tired bodies and finally defeated the Roman army and won the first victory against the Romans. Of course, the casualties were not small..."

Ketisus’ eyes flashed sadly, and he emphasized: “You also said that if you want to be an excellent soldier in the First Army, you can’t even complete this small task. What qualifications do you have to become a full-fledged soldier? , I think it’s better to take the exam in the kingdom. It’s better to be a government official in the kingdom."

The gasp in the team disappeared, and every young man flushed and stared at Kotisus.

Alsinis shouted sharply: "Brothers pay attention, the column has changed into a square formation!"

"Roar!!!" The young people responded in unison...

In the Kingdom of Dionia, military training officers are also divided into levels. The military training officer of the Ministry of Military Affairs is the most senior, then the military training officer of a military camp, and then the military training officer of towns. Some towns are too large, such as Kata. Nai, it has several military training officers, and each military training officer is in charge of several Dermo districts.

The reason why the military training officers are divided so finely is to ensure that citizens in the service period can receive adequate training. After all, the kingdom of Dionia is vast, and the military camps in a region are only trained once in seven or eight days during the busy farming season. It takes one day for the citizens to gather in the military camp. Therefore, some basic military training in peacetime is often carried out by military training officers in various towns and Demo districts. They will seize all their free time to conduct strict military training on the nearby citizens. , Such as morning training and night training, to help citizen soldiers improve their military capabilities, which is an important manifestation of Dionia's emphasis on military affairs.

The town and Durmo military trainers are basically held by retired Legionnaires. Their salary is very low. They hold this position mainly out of nostalgia for military life and loyalty to the kingdom. Even though Amendorara has a population of more than 10,000 after years of development, it is a small town, so there is only Ketisus as a military trainer, but in the past he had to train thousands of people, just because of the number one. The legion was transferred to the Peloponnese to fight, and only a few hundred young citizens remained in the entire town.

Today is only morning training, but I have been training for two hours without interruption. When the red sun in the east jumped out of the sea level, dispelling the morning mist in the mountains, and casting the scorching brilliance, Ketisus Announcing the end of the training, all the young people collapsed to the ground with exhaustion.

At this moment, Cettisus changed his serious expression before and walked in front of every young man to comment on his previous training performance. Most of them were praise-based, and he asked if Trepandes Some discomfort.

Despite Trepandes repeatedly saying that he was okay, Cettisus asked the doctor who had been on the sidelines to treat his previous stick injury. Cettisus did not leave until all the youths left safely. Ride on his Bruti horse and descend the mountain leisurely along the gentle trail.

Along the way, I greeted and chatted with familiar Amendorara people from time to time. When I got home, it was almost noon, and then he heard the servant tell him: There are important guests waiting in the living room.

"Master Alexis, why are you free to come to me?" Kettesus walked into the hall and saw the Minister of Military Affairs, a little surprised.

Alexis did not answer directly, but after carefully examining him, he said with satisfaction: "It seems that you have been training since you retired."

Catisus sat down on the wooden chair and didn't care about the existence of Alexis. He took off his breastplate and helmet, and the servant immediately came over and took them away.

Ketisus moved a somewhat sore body, and said: "No way, who called me a military trainer, if you want to make those little boys obedient, sometimes I have to lead by example."

"It seems that you are a good military training officer." Alexis praised, and then said sternly: "I am here this time on behalf of Your Majesty and the Ministry of Military Affairs. Please come out and take over as the commander of the First Corps. ."

"Take over?" Ketisus was surprised: "Isn't the first army commander Prosous?!" Although, after Leotichides became the first army commander, Ketisus was in his He retired after serving under the account within a few years, but he felt that the younger legionnaire was still very capable.

Alexis sighed, briefly narrated the story of "Proseus is the Prince of Sparta", and then said earnestly: "I know you have always refused to serve as the commander of the army, but now the situation In particular, the First Corps is in a battlefield, but lacks chief officers, and battles may occur at any time, resulting in excessive casualties. However, appointing others to serve as commanders of the First Corps is worried that they will not have time to familiarize themselves with the Corps, establish prestige, and let the soldiers. We are convinced that we cannot give full play to the combat effectiveness of the First Army...I think about it, only you are the most suitable. Are you willing to take over as the commander of the Army at this time and help the First Army to tide over the difficulties?"

"Well, I am willing to accept this appointment." Ketisus did not hesitate, but he emphasized: "But this is only a temporary takeover. I will retire and go home when the war is over."

"No problem." Alexis nodded and agreed.

"When will we leave?"

"We have to wait a few days, because the Ministry of Military Affairs is also preparing to send the Seventh Army and the First Cavalry Army to Messenia."

"Does it take so many soldiers to deal with a Spartan?" Kettesus was puzzled.

"This is your majesty's decision." Alexis simply replied.

"By the way, Plossous resigned from the position of commander of the first army, and also resigned from the position of commander. Then who will take over as the commander of the expeditionary force?" Ketisus remembered now. Ask this question.

Alexis hesitated for a moment, and said, "Clotocatax."

"Who?" Cettisus was stunned for a moment, and then realized who the other party was talking about, and his eyes widened immediately: "How could he be the commander in chief! Even if he is your majesty's eldest son, he has never The experience of commanding military operations——"

"Plintors, the chief of staff, will serve as the temporary staff officer of this army, mainly in charge of military affairs." Alexis interrupted him and said simply. In fact, several chief officers of the military department disagreed with the appointment made by King Daves, but after all, the army is directly under the jurisdiction of King Daves. Under the circumstances of his insistence, Alexis can only obey.

"Although Lord Priintoles was assisted, it was still a bit sloppy to have Prince Cloto Kataks as the commander..." Ketisus was still muttering.

"This is an order from your majesty himself!" Alexis emphasized again.

Catisus stopped speaking.

"As a veteran, this time you go to the Peloponnese to help Prince Cloto Kataks! This is also for the First Legion!" Alexis reminded again: "In this way, You will rush to Turiyi tomorrow to meet with His Royal Highness and assist him with the military affairs of the expedition."

"Well, I'll listen to you." Kttesus agreed reluctantly.

………………………………………………

The next day Ketisus rushed to the Turrii military camp and was greeted by Klotokataks with great respect, which was beyond Ketisus’s expectation and made him very fond of it. .

In the following process of handling military affairs, Croto Kataks not only actively listened to the opinions of Priintoles and Kettesus, but also showed his familiarity with military affairs, and began to change some of them. Tisus misunderstood his lack of military experience.

A few days later, the Seventh Army marched northward and stationed in the Turiyi Barracks.

A few more days later, the Second Fleet rushed from Lilibo to the Port of Turriy. With the farewell of Daves and the ministers, Cloto Catax led the Seventh Army and the First Cavalry Army. And some other troops, a total of more than 10,000 people, boarded the warship and marched towards the Peloponnese Peninsula.

In January 370 BC (the 24th year of the Kingdom of Dionian), the fleet arrived on the coast of Messenia.

At the simple wharf, Cloto Kataks, who disembarked, was greeted with a grand welcome from the senior generals of the expeditionary army and the Messenian legislators headed by Tisias.

Compared to others, Leotichides is obviously not a person who can express enthusiasm in words and actions, so he seems a little cold in the crowd. If someone else takes over, the new commander sees At this time, Leotichides would more or less think: Leotichides is dissatisfied with his removal of the position of commander!
