Rome Must Fall Chapter 40: Arrangements (continued)

"Military Advisory Group?" Frontinus was unfamiliar with this term.

"That is, a team that can provide us with military assistance at any time." Maximus looked at the others and explained: "For example, we want to build a camp. How should we build the camp? You will guide us; For another example, we are going to fight a battle. How should we fight this battle? It is up to you to make a plan. After reaching an agreement, we will fight according to the plan..."

Isn’t this the military camp commander in the Roman legion? No, it seems to have greater power than the commander of the military camp... Frontinus thought to himself: A young man who is only responsible for the baggage team actually wants to set up such a small team with military functions. I'm afraid his ambition is not small... But No wonder, after all, he is someone who can make such a speech and tell such a story.

"Military advisory group, right? I think I can give it a try." Frontinus' tone was indifferent, but the look in his eyes towards Maximus had changed somewhat.

Maximus did not seem to notice this, and continued: "There is exactly one thing that needs to be done by the military advisory group. Although we won this time, there was some luck. We actually lost in the head-on battle yesterday. It's very miserable, so the leaders are preparing to conduct strict military training for the soldiers, and our **** is naturally no exception. I want you to lead the military advisory group to conduct strict training for our **** soldiers in accordance with the requirements of the Roman legions. , can it be done?"

Before Frontinus could reply, Pheasalus said first: "Maximus, our guards can train by themselves. We don't need outsiders to intervene."

"Just train yourself?!" Maximus's expression became serious, and he asked: "Do you know how to lead the **** to march in an orderly manner? Do you know how to build a defensive camp? Do you know how to form an array during a battle? Do you know how to use brass trumpets and drums to command soldiers to charge or retreat?..."

Pheasalus was stunned by a series of questions. It took him a long time to say: "I know how to teach brothers to fight with the enemy!"

"Improving personal combat capabilities is only a basic skill for soldiers in war. We still have a lot to learn seriously, so that we will not repeat yesterday's rout in the next battle." Maximus' expression He solemnly said: "Frontinus was once a centurion of the Roman legion and has rich war experience. He will be a very good teacher for us."

"He is a centurion of the Roman legion?!" Pheasalus was a little surprised. He originally thought that the reason why Maximus reused Frontinus was because he was an old slave in the Roman army. He has been in the army long enough and has learned a lot of skills, but he never expected that he would have such an identity.

Several other people were also surprised and looked at Frontinus with complicated eyes.

"Hi!" Maximus shouted and reminded: "Don't forget what I just said in the yard. Whether they are centurions or ordinary Roman soldiers, they are all Italian civilians. , Frantinus became a slave from a centurion, and also experienced a lot of hardships, and had the same experience as us. Since he joined us and fought with us against Rome, then he is my brother, We should accept him enthusiastically!"

As soon as Maximus finished speaking, Arconis immediately smiled: "The captain is right, no matter what identity Frontinus was before, he is one of our own now, and there are people in the baggage team. I feel safer now that I have a centurion!"

Pigres reluctantly said: "The Roman soldiers were arresting people in Asia Minor, and that's why I became a slave. I only hate the Roman soldiers but have no affection for them. But you were once a Roman soldier and now you are a slave, and The captain also spoke... Anyway, you are welcome to join the baggage team."

"Are you a Sabine?" Cornelius asked.

Frontinus was stunned for a moment and nodded: "Yes."

"I just noticed that your accent is very similar, and I have been wanting to ask you about it." Cornelius smiled and asked: "Which town are you from?"

"Kunos."

"I was once in Ellentum, very close to you." Cornelius smiled even brighter: "We will have more contact with each other in the future."

"Okay." Frontilus finally showed a smile on his face.

"Huan...welcome to join the baggage team." Sexippus also said, but he seemed a little nervous.

Pheasalus came to Frontinus in three steps and two steps at a time. Maximus was startled. He thought he wanted to do something bad to Frontinus, but he was smiling all over. He said enthusiastically: "So you were a centurion of the Roman legion. If I had told you earlier, then you must be better than me in marching and fighting. You must teach me more in the future!"

Maximus breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered that with this kid's personality, there was no chance of any conflict.

Frontinus was also relieved. Everyone in the room finally chose to accept him and other army slaves after knowing his true identity. This also shows Maximus's prestige in the baggage corps, so he seriously Said: "Our... military advisory group will conduct strict training for the **** team. However, the number of **** teams is too small, so it may be difficult to conduct formation training."

"Train first, and there will be more people in the future."

Maximus's answer convinced Frontinus that this young man would not be content with just being a baggage captain.

Maximus looked at the others and said: "Not only the guards have to train, but you also have to lead your men to train together in your free time."

"Huh? We also need to train?!" Aknis exclaimed in surprise, and the others also widened their eyes.

"Yesterday, after our team was defeated, if we at the rear had followed the pre-planned arrangements, we could all have safely retreated to the mountain. However, everyone panicked and messed up the team, so there were so many people. ..."

Maximus looked solemn and said in a heavy tone: "Our battle with the Roman army will last for a long time. Each battle may be won or lost. Our baggage team has a weak combat effectiveness and carries a large number of troops. Supplies often become the focus of the enemy's assault. I ask you to train, not to let you practice **** the enemy, but to let you learn to obey orders, follow instructions, and how to evacuate quickly and safely when encountering danger. Do you understand?"

Yesterday’s events gave Maximus a big wake-up call~IndoMTL.com~ because he remembered that in history, Spartacus’s rebel army was constantly moving, and the baggage trains had to carry various supplies. , must be the slowest to move. If the team's organization and crisis response capabilities are not strengthened, such painful lessons will be repeated again and again.

After his reminder, others also realized this and agreed.

At this time, Frontinus also interjected: "Actually, the slaves who were responsible for doing chores in the Roman legions also had to undergo some military training, just to enable them to keep up with the actions of the army. Don’t hold back.”

Maximus's reminder, coupled with Frontilus's assist, made others finally realize the importance of training, and their reluctant agreement turned into active cooperation.

"By the way, Frontinus." Maximus remembered something and said: "I used to teach the people in the baggage team literacy and arithmetic and tell some stories every night, just like tonight. You can also be a teacher and impart some knowledge to them."

"Me? Be a teacher?" Frontinus's expression became rich and he waved his hands repeatedly: "This...I can't do this!"

"Of course you have no problem!" Maximus persuaded seriously: "You have such rich military experience, which we have never experienced. You can combine your own war experience and tell us about daily training What should you pay attention to when building a camp? What kind of preparations are needed before fighting? How should you kill the enemy and save yourself during the battle?... You can also talk specifically about a battle you participated in, or even an encounter. A certain failure... I believe everyone is very willing to listen to your story and learn a lot from it!"
