Chapter 118 Legion and Flag Presentation ([-])
"It was just a moment of anger. In fact, Hilos is a very nice person and very humble. He often asks me questions." Anticles said straightforwardly: "What's more, my two new sons-in-law are both new citizens, especially The eldest son-in-law is the squad leader! Did you see, over there...that tall man wearing a white helmet is my eldest son-in-law!"

"I said Anticles, a squad leader is nothing! How many people does he care about? Back then, you and I were even captains." Stromboli disagreed.

"That's different. We were appointed by the consul because of our noble status. But I heard from Trotilas that the consul Davos stipulated that the squad leader must have experienced hundreds of battles and be recognized by the soldiers. , only those who are elected by them and approved by their superiors can hold the position.' Therefore, he can command his soldiers who are also experienced and arrogant." Anticles said proudly.

Stromboli stopped talking. No matter how critical he was, he could not deny the power of the soldiers of the Persian Expeditionary Force. Being able to lead them would naturally have extraordinary abilities.

Christia looked at Davos, who was standing tall in the center of the square amidst the cheers, with blurred eyes: This was the husband she chose during the war. Facts have proved that her vision was not wrong, Davos realized his ideal!

"The Archon is so majestic!" A clear voice woke her up, and she knew it was Andrea without looking back.A few days ago, Christia learned about Andrea's story while chatting with Davos. She was moved by her infatuation and asked Andrea to help her because she was running a bank and was short of manpower.Andrea readily agreed and the two soon became good friends.And with Mrs. Davos, Kristoya, as a shield, others gossiped and rolled their eyes at Andrea much less.

"Why do you like Davos?" Christoya teased.

"Ma'am, don't laugh at me." Andrea scolded.

"I heard that Davos ordered the Lucanians to come and watch the ceremony. After it's over, I'll ask Davos to arrange for you to meet him. How about it?" Christoya said seriously.

Andrea expressed her gratitude generously: "Thank you, madam!"

Kristoya looked back at her and said, "Are you really going to wait for him for five years?"

Andrea nodded without hesitation.

While Kristoya sighed, she remembered what Davos had said and said, "Then you should advise Bagule more, take care of his people, don't make mistakes, and conscientiously complete the various tasks assigned by the city-state. Once the city-state takes any big action, actively participate in it, strive to make achievements, and shorten the five-year period as soon as possible!..."

Andrea nodded heavily.

Kristoya touched her face with emotion: "Sister, I sincerely hope that your wait will not be too long, and your wish will finally come true!"

Andrea bit her lip and was about to cry.

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

Military officer Felicius stepped forward and said loudly: "Now, on behalf of the Senate, I declare the establishment of the First Legion of Amendolara! The commander of the legion will be the lifelong consul Davos!"

There were thunderous cheers from the audience.

"Confer the flag to the First Legion!"

The bugle sounded, and the square was solemn.

Felicius looked solemn and held a four-meter-long flag in both hands.Davos took it respectfully with both hands, raised it high, and slowly circled the platform.

Melcis shouted outside the court: "Did you see it! I spent several days carefully designing it and supervising people to make it specially. Isn't it beautiful? !!"

"Did you design it?" Mariji's face was full of suspicion.

Mersith laughed dryly: "I was lying, it was Davos who designed the flags, but without me, these flags would not have been produced so quickly!"

The soldiers held their breath and looked up at the glittering golden flag in the sky. At the top of the flag was a brass statue of Hades, the king of Hades, holding a two-pronged fork (no choice, Amendolara was poor now and could only use brass temporarily). The statue The next circle is red fluffy flag tassel, and the straight flagpole is covered with a straight square piece of heavy red wool and linen mixed fabric. The golden Greek text "First Legion" is embroidered on the flag, and the other side is in the middle. There was a gold star painted on it, and Davos was pointing at the gold star and loudly said to the soldiers in the audience: "Brothers of the First Legion, this gold star represents your annihilation of the Lucanian tribal coalition and the recovery of Amen Dorara, as the honor of the founder of the new legion of Amendolara, it is unique!"

The soldiers cheered loudly, straightened their chests, and looked at the banner with shining stars, their eyes full of pride.

"Next, every time you win a big victory, a gold star will be drawn on it to let the people remember your achievements! I hope you will use your continuous victories to make gold stars all over this legion flag!" Davos's ardent expectations made The soldiers cheered with excitement: "Wan Victory!"

"Wan Sheng!!"

"Wan Sheng!!!"

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

The morale of the soldiers in the square was at its peak.

"I have never heard of such a military flag in the decades since I participated in city-state battles! Such a way to boost morale! As a citizen soldier, what an honor it is to fight under such a military flag!!" Anticles Looking forward to the flag.

"I heard that the statue of Hades is inlaid on the top of this big flag. This is Davos's subtle declaration that he is the favored one of Hades!" Stromboli said dissatisfied.

"Isn't it true that many people think this is true!" Anticles said disapprovingly. He covered the severed end of his right hand with his left hand and sighed: "What's more, Hades is on our side, bringing death to the enemy. This is a good thing! It can be expected that our First Legion will become a terrifying army! It’s a pity that I can’t fight under the banner of Hades!”

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

"Please ask Martius, the flag bearer of the First Legion, to come to the stage to receive the flag!" Felicius shouted.

Martius, the guard captain who is usually known as bold, couldn't help but feel a little nervous at this moment. He tightened his armor again, straightened his helmet again, walked onto the stage with a solemn expression, stood firm on his feet, stood in front of Davos, and raised his right fist. A hard blow to the left chest.

Davos also returned the military salute and said loudly: "The legion flag bearer is the bravest soldier in the entire army. It is the highest honor! I hope you will hold the battle flag high on the battlefield. No matter how dangerous you encounter ahead, you will always be brave." Go forward and inspire the whole army to victory!"

Martius solemnly took over the military flag and solemnly swore: "By Hades, I, Martius, will cherish the military flag as I cherish my own eyes, and will always move forward and never retreat!"

Amidst the cheers, Matonis whispered: "If I hadn't become the company captain, this flag bearer would definitely be mine!"

"Now, please invite Captain Capps of the First Battalion to come on stage to accept the flag of the First Battalion!"

Before Capps could move, the soldiers behind him began to urge: "Captain, hurry up! Go and pick up the flag!..."

Capps took his time walking onto the stage.

Davos took the team flag from the guard, held it in his hand, and said to Capps earnestly: "The first brigade of the legion is a model for the whole legion, the best of the best! In battle, where is the most difficult and where is the most dangerous? Dangerous, the first brigade must face up to the difficulties and open the door to victory for the whole army! I hope you will keep this in mind!"

"The First Brigade of the First Legion will definitely not disappoint you, Lord Consul. The First Brigade will always be the sharp spear of the entire army!" Capps' tone was as hard and powerful as gold and stone.

He crossed the flag of the first brigade and looked at it carefully: unlike the flag of the legion, the top of the flag was an iron statue of Thanatos, the god of death under Hades. He was holding a sword and wearing a black robe. Spread its wings and look ferocious.There is also a red flag on the flagpole below the statue, with "First Legion, First Battalion" embroidered in golden Greek on the upper, and a gold star on the reverse...

Capps waved the big flag, and the soldiers of the first brigade in the audience cheered thunderously.

The next person to take the stage was Dracos, captain of the Second Battalion. His injury had not yet healed and he was still wearing bandages, but he was still fully armed.As he hobbled onto the stage, the soldiers in the audience cheered with encouragement.

Looking at this tough guy who had fought with him, Davos asked with concern: "Drax, are you okay?"

"The doctor said everything is fine." Dracos looked calm. Facing Davos, who had beaten him before, he now only had respect in his heart: "Thank you, Lord Archon, for your concern!"

"The battle with the Lucanian coalition allowed me to see the bravery of the soldiers of the second group. But to be honest, compared with the first group, you are still far behind. I hope that in your future training, Restrain them according to military law, train them, and let them catch up as soon as possible!" Davos said with great expectations.

"Master Consul, don't worry, the second brigade will not lose to anyone!" Drax said firmly.

When Hieronymus, captain of the third team, came to the stage, Davos said nothing more, because he knew that Hieronymus would train his team desperately.

When Epithenes, captain of the seventh brigade, came to the stage, the flexible captain took the initiative to ask Davos: "Sir, you see that my brigade has the smallest number of people, and there are still 400 people left to reach the full establishment. Can you allow it? Shall I send people to Thrace, Crete and Rhodes to recruit some peltasts, archers and slingers?"

"Become a free citizen in Amendolara?" Davos asked with a half-smile.

"Of course, I will start as a free citizen, and then in accordance with the requirements of your previous proposal in the Senate, Lord Consul, apply to become a citizen of Amendolara in a few years." Epithenis said with a smile.

Davos was happy to see this happen, but he reminded Epithenes.
