Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

But the captain asked for strict requirements on the soldiers in two things: First, in the battle, the soldiers are only allowed to move forward, not allowed to retreat, otherwise he will kick the weak soldiers out of the brigade. Second, in no case can you lose to the sixth squad of Olivers.

This kind of vindictiveness seems a bit funny, but in the army of Dionia, between the company and the company, between the brigade and the brigade, between the legion and the legion, such mutual competition is not uncommon, and each The class officials are not banned from this kind of competition. Instead, they strongly advocate that tug-of-war, rugby, football... The popular sports and games in the military camp are all contests between the squad and the squad, the detachment and the detachment, and the fierce competition. victory.

Leotizides felt that it was precisely because of the importance of the officials at all levels that the Diaonian civic soldiers who used to be farmers, fishermen and businessmen quickly developed the sense of honor of their team. Will fight for the first time in battle! ......

"Prosuos, I heard that your Lagos and Spartans are enemies. Have you ever fought with the Spartans?" Heitbarus was a broken mouth, only quiet for a while, and then talked Words come.

After the last ship's turmoil, the friendship between him and his teammates, especially the relationship with Heit Barus, became quite friendly after the fierce battle with the Puchettis. Leo Tizides heard this, in order to cover up the unnaturalness of his face, he did not look up, but continued to bend down and dig the soil, gently spit out a sentence: "Fighting."

Hite Barus came to the interest and asked, "Do you think the Spartans are powerful, or are we powerful?"

Leo Tizides did not expect him to ask this question, immediately.

Other teammates seemed to be very interested in this, and they all came together. Captain West Tarsis did not blame them.

In fact, Hite Barus asked the right person. Leotizides is indeed the best person to answer this question: he is a Spartan, he has been in the Dionysian army for half a year, and he also participated. Through the battle, there is considerable understanding of the military situation between the two forces.

In the face of the friendly and fascinating eyes of the war, Leo Tiddides refused to refuse, but for a time he did not know how to open it. He put down the crossbow, patted the dirt on his hands, seriously thought about it, and then said: “Spartans have been undergoing cruel 'Agoge’ fighting training since the age of six. They have been living in military camps except for a small amount of time to learn to confess. Until adulthood, the ritual of adulthood is to kill alone. Any black sergeant..."

"Hey, this is too cruel!" Some teammates shouted.

Leo Tizides was unmoved and continued: "After adulthood, the Spartans do nothing, except fighting or fighting, until they die...so the Spartans are the best warriors in the world, they Familiar with every detail of the battle, killing the enemy is as easy as drinking water!" When he said it, his pride as a Spartan came out again.

Some of the teammates were dissatisfied with the buzz.

"Prosuos, you praise the Spartans like this, are you really a Lagos?!" Someone is dissatisfied with the blame.

Leo Tizides was shocked. During this time, he and his teammates got along well and lost a little vigilance. He said busyly: "But there are too few Spartan fighters. The number of their young and strong citizens still thinks that there are only more than half of a group of Dionynias. Even with the Pisces, they only More than 10,000 people. The Devonian soldiers are among the best in the city-states I know, not the ones who make a living from fighting! And your military system is very unique and perfect, I personally think that there are even some The system is even better than Sparta! The most important thing is that there are many Dionian soldiers. After this victory over the Brutus, I am afraid that the number will continue to increase..."

"I understand Prosous what you mean, one-on-one wrestling, we can't fight Spartan fighters, but the real war, the Spartans can't beat us because they are too few people, right? !" Hait Barus interjected.

"Our Dionysian army has always emphasized group and cooperation. A Spartan warrior is even more powerful, and he is no match for our four or five closely cooperating Dionysian soldiers!" Pecias continued.

"That's right! Just like the rugby game's running back is so powerful, without the help of teammates, he can't score alone!" Another teammate shouted.

Leo Tiddides knew him, a Diaonian citizen, who had repeatedly violated discipline and was punished in the boot camp. The last time in the battle against the Pucciti, the soldiers in the squad of Leo Tizides were seriously injured, so he was added, but he is now a qualified legionnaire. This is Dionia. The terrible part of the military system is that it can train free, scattered Greeks into qualified soldiers in a short period of time through training, sports, competitions and other means.

The Spartans of Wu Liguo have explored a truth in the long-term battle: whether the city-state army is strong, and the individual's force is only secondary. The important thing is strict discipline, unconditional obedience and perseverance training. Most of them The Greek city-state could neither understand nor do this, but the newly established Dionya was so demanded from the beginning. It is said that all this is the hand of the gods-in-chief, Daphus, who seems to wear it. Compared with Sparta, it is this young man who is really terrible!

Leo Tizides didn't want his teammates to make a wrong judgment. He thought that Sparta was weak, so he reminded: "Spartan warriors are few, but Sparta rarely fights alone. Don't forget, it. It is the ally of the Peloponnesian League, and now it is the hegemon of the whole of Greece. There are countless allied soldiers fighting for it. And the majority of the generals of Sparta are qualified commanders..."

"Oh, what I said is only Sparta and our Dionia. To say the allies, we also have Dionia, Laos, Castellón..." Hait Barus is dissatisfied Said.

"And Heraclia... The Nanyi League is also counted, Crotone, West Riding, Trina and..."

"Caulenia."

The teammates scrambled for the martyrdom, and let Leotizides feel some emotions: many city-states in the Eastern Mediterranean talked about Sparta and changed color. Even the big states like Athens and Collins feared Spartan fighters, but in front of them. These Dionysians did not fear to discuss whether Deon and Sparta were strong and weak, not because they were ignorant, but that their victory gave them confidence.

Their screams finally alerted the squad leader, Pamanius, who was not far away. He looked furious: "I don't want to dig trenches and say gossip! Not afraid of military law!"

The teammates quickly dispersed and went to work.

The small captain, West Tarsis, came over and whispered: "Prosouus, you are doing a good job! But next time, pay attention to changing ‘you’ to ‘us’.”

Leo Tizides couldn’t help but feel guilty: in the bones, he has not really integrated into Dionia and regarded himself as a Diaonian...

..............................

Just as the soldiers of the First Legion were busy, Daves was talking to the commander of the Hercules Allied Trifias.

“Do you want to ask our engineers to build a bridge in Heraklia?”

"Yes, Master Davers. I heard that in Heraklia, you have a very good bridge construction technique. This time, the soldiers came over and the two wooden bridges through Turui have a deeper You must know that there are many rivers in the territory of Heraklia, and the main city of Heraklia is built on a river in the delta of the Agri River and its tributaries. The rainy season in March and April every year. It was the most difficult season for our Hercules.” Trifias sighed and said helplessly: “When the river rises, the pontoon is often broken, and we even have to sail to the sea every day. You can rush to your farmland to farm, so we urgently need a few strong and solid bridges, just like the wooden bridge on the Krati River!"

After listening to the request of Trephias, Daves readily promised: "Heraklia is the ally of Dionia, and we are happy to provide such help!"

"I heard that Little Heraclitus is the master of building bridges, but he also serves as a public office for the management of the road in Dionia. We are willing to donate 50 tons of wheat to Dionia, thanks to the small Heraclitus and his team helped us in the midst of being busy." Trephias said sincerely ~www.novelmtl.com~Davers did not deny, Dionia is now lacking food, special Riffias’s move is a charity in the snow. Let Davers look at him again. Although Heraclia has a dense water network and fertile land, 50 tons of wheat is by no means a small number. Heraclia sent this gift, not only the reward for the bridge, but also the one of Heraklia. An attitude. In this regard, Davers is in mind.

With this agreement, the conversation between Daves and Trephias is more intimate and casual.

Davers even said happily: He did not expect such a good pasture in the Cosenza area, which can be used to cultivate horses.

Just as the two of them talked happily, the commander Tormide came nervously: "The commander, Ryders, said in an emergency, "I found out that the Brutus team is marching here!"

“How many people?” Daves asked immediately.

"According to the judgment of the scouting cavalry, there may be 20,000 people!"

20,000 people! The appearance of Davers is no longer calm: the Brudy Union is obviously trying to fight with us here!
