"The soldier holding the banner of the kingdom should be a Mesapi, right?"
"It was stated in the announcement that his name was Rakelesis, a soldier of the Ninth Army (the Ninth Army was mainly composed of Mesapi people), and when he captured the city of Lucenia, he rushed to the top of the city. Killed four enemies in a row, was stabbed with several spears, and continued to fight until his comrades rushed to the head of the city..."
"No wonder he still has a bandage on his body, so that brave soldiers deserve the honor of a triumphal flagman!"
"Rachelesis is our famous warrior in Udia!" someone next to him interjected in blunt Greek.
In such an atmosphere of celebration, the conflicts and disputes of the past will be thrown away, and people's minds will become broad-minded. The person who spoke before said happily: "Whether it is a Greek or a Mesapi People of Dionians, you Mesapi people join the Dionian army, our legion will be stronger!"
"The Dionian Legion is victorious!"
"The Ninth Legion is victorious!"
"Rachelesis is great!"
……
The procession arrived in front of the first Arc de Triomphe, which is the starting point of the northern outer city of Turriy.
This Arc de Triomphe was built after the South-Italian War. The four reliefs on the arch record the four exciting battles that determined the fate of Dionian in the South-Italian War. They are: Battle of Poseidonia , Turiyi Great Battle, Crotone Great Battle, Meyaro Defensive Battle.
The soldiers passing by the Arc de Triomphe were a little more solemn in their excitement. They are eager to make more contributions, which are remembered by the history of the Kingdom of Dionia...
…………………………………
The surrounding area of Victory Square is also full of spectators, but unlike the people along the way, their status and status are different, such as foreign envoys, invited guests, officials and military officers of the kingdom, and their families...
Of course, this also includes Davers's family, they and the family members of the elders are sitting on the viewing platform by the side of the grand meeting hall, surrounded by soldiers.
"Kittia, you don’t have to stretch your neck so long, the parade is still early here, and now it’s no better than before. There are only five or six miles from the outer city to the inner city--oh!" 'S girl was tapped on her head by the dignified and generous girl next to her, and she listened to the girl softly reprimanded: "Eunice, don't be so rude! Kitia is older than you, you should be called your sister!"
"Okay, sister Kitia!" Eunice's big flexible eyes flashed slyly: "You don't have to bother to find it. Stephros is the flag of the Eighth Army this time. Hand, walk in the forefront of the team, you can see without stretching your neck."
When the petite and beautiful Kitia heard this, she blushed and hurriedly retracted her body lying on the railing, looking at the two sisters who were bowing their heads and snickering, and couldn't help but plead: "I am not I want to see Stefros, but I want to help... I want to help Cynthia find where Patroclus is."
"My sister won't be as anxious as you. Anyway, she will be engaged to Patroclus soon!" Eunice blurted out, although her voice was not loud, it caused some people's surprise.
Cynthia also became a little shy, and immediately patted Eunice: "No nonsense!"
Eunice didn’t care, she smiled and said again: "Sister Kitia, you see, my sister is about to get married, when will you marry Stefros?"
"Huh?..."
"Eunice!"
"Ouch!"
……
Alexis rode in a gorgeous chariot pulled by four black horses. Today, the Kingdom of Dionian is no longer as poor as it was when it was first built. It is easy to find four tall horses and no A variegated dark horse.
Behind him is Leontizides, also a four-horse chariot.
After that, there were two-horse chariots in which several corps commanders rode, which made the commanders such as Amintas and Olivers a little uncomfortable.
Leotizides stood on the carriage, straightened his chest, and greeted the cheers and praise of thousands of people. He has participated in the triumphal ceremony many times, but it is the first time to participate as a theater commander. As the protagonist, the attention he receives is naturally different. He is also extremely excited, and it is rare to beckon to the surroundings slightly.
When their carriage entered Victory Square, the thunderous cheers came even more.
After the carriage ran a circle around the periphery of the square, it stopped in front of the Senate's Chamber.
Alexis, Leotizides, and several legion commanders all got out of the carriage and stepped up the steps solemnly.
On the platform at the end of the steps stood the distinguished elders of the kingdom, surrounded by King Daves wearing a crown.
"Your Majesty!" Alexis, who was the first to walk on the platform, paid a military salute respectfully.
Davers solemnly responded and said: "Thanks for your hard work, Alexis! Thank you for adding new territories and people to the kingdom!"
"This is my duty as an army commander." Alexis replied.
Davos took the golden victory scepter from Hernipolis with a smile on his face and handed it over. This is a one-foot-long cane made of gold, with a beautifully carved statue of the goddess of victory at the top. This is a reward for the commander who returns in triumph. Now, with the strength of the kingdom, it is no longer a verbal commendation for the winner. There are more substantial prizes.
This is the highest reward for the generals of the kingdom who command the battle, so Alexis, who usually doesn't care about gold and silver, also took it with excitement at this moment and pressed it tightly on his chest.
"Your Majesty!" Leottizides gave a neat military salute.
"Prossous, good job!" Daves smiled happily: "You did not live up to my expectations, and it was beyond the expectations of many people!"
Daves said, handing over the scepter of victory, and after Leontiz handed it over, he patted him firmly on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "I look forward to your next victory! "
Leotizides was equally excited. He understood that this showed that King Daves valued him very much. He didn't know what to say for a while, but said repeatedly: "Yes! Yes!..."
Daves then presented Amintas, Olivers and other legion leaders with silver scepters.
When he was going to wear the gold three-headed dog warrior medal for several flag bearers, he saw Rachelesis from Mesapi wrapped in bandages, and he couldn’t help but remember that he was in Amendorara gave the flag to the wounded Dracos and couldn't help feeling full of emotion, so he gave the brave soldier a strong hug, took his hand, and held it high.
The soldiers on the square cheered loudly, especially the soldiers from Mesapi and Puchetti.
After Davos seriously put on the medals for the flag bearers one by one, he strode to the front of the platform, faced the thousands of soldiers below the stage, and shouted: "Dionia Heroic soldiers, citizens loyal to the kingdom!..."
"The Kingdom of Dionian is victorious!!!..."
"The King of Daves will win!!!!..."
……
The triumphal style came to an end amidst the cheers of the soldiers whirring and tsunami.
……………………………………
Just after the Triumphal Ceremony ended yesterday, Patroclus received a notice from the Military Department today: Let him go to the palace immediately.
Although he had received news from Cynthia last night, Patroclus was still uneasy along the way. After all, this was the first time he was received by King Daves alone.
When I came to the door of the King’s Office on the second floor of the palace, the guards had not had time to go in and report. It happened that Hernipolis came out from inside and saw Patroclus, the palace secretary who was once the "youngest veteran". The official looked at him with interest, and then said with a smile: "Young man, congratulations!" Then, he turned around again.
After a while, when he came out again, Hernipolis took two clerks and comforted Patroclus: "Don't be nervous, go in."
Patroclus said softly and gratefully: "Thank you, Honipolis!"
Patroclus walked in softly, only one person was left in the room.
The founder of the Kingdom of Dionian, the supreme commander of the Dionian army, the descendant of Hades, and the father of Cynthia-King Davos is sitting behind a desk more than 20 meters away. Look at him calmly.
Rao is the normally bold Patroclus' heart can't help but "bang! Bang!..." quickly beating.
"Your Majesty...I'm here." He tried to control his body and paid a military salute to Davers.
Daves looked at him with both scrutiny and a touch of love. Patroclus's nervousness was in his eyes, and he said gently, "Sit down, Patroclus."
"Yes!" Patroclus sat on the wooden chair next to him, his mind calmed slightly, and he felt his lips dry and tight, and he swallowed subconsciously.
Davers smiled: "You're thirsty, I'll give you a cup of syrup."
"No, thank you, Your Majesty!" Patroclus waved his hand hurriedly.
"Before the Triumph, I reviewed the list of recommended candidates for the flag bearer of the Triumphal Legion sent by Alexis, and deliberately deleted your name." Daves slowly said, "You must have Have you ever complained?"
"No, Your Majesty." Patroclus said without hesitation.
"Do you know why I did this?" Daves asked further.
"Because... to avoid suspicion." Patroclus replied softly, not daring to be sure.
"Yes, in order to avoid suspicion." Daves affirmed, and said in a deep voice: "You are a young man with military talent, but when you marry Cynthia, you will be infected with the royal family. Background, everything you get will be regarded by others as the result of being taken care of by me, so there will be many things like this in the future to avoid suspicion. You probably won't become the'youngest legion commander' like Proseus. , The'Youngest Commander'......"
