Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The instructor told Alsini: The process of fighting in the war is very short-lived, and more time is spent on marching and camping, so a well-trained Amendola civic soldier must first adapt and learn how to march. .

Arciennes trusted his instructor because the instructor who served as the captain was said to be a famous warrior in the army. He controlled the pace according to the instructor's method and adjusted his breathing to save his energy.

On the march, he also saw a team of Lucania slaves carrying the newly cut trunks and passing them by. If it was before, he would express his anger by insulting and throwing stones. But now he will not do this: on the one hand, he has adapted to the existence of these people, these slaves are city-state property, creating wealth for the city-state, injuring them without benefiting themselves, but being punished; on the other hand, The instructors told them that such a practice is the performance of the weak, and the real strong will defeat their enemies on the battlefield. Arciennes wants to be a real powerhouse!

The five-kilometer armed march ended, but it was not finished. After a short break, the recruits began to carry out the assault training. This was a training program that gave Arsini a little excitement: the heavily armed recruits were first lined up in a dense array. The drums sounded and began to march. The drums were slowed down and the speed of the recruits gradually changed from fast to jogging. At the same time, they rushed across the wide trench and crossed the ridge, so the new recruits fell from time to time. . The hardest part of assault training is to keep the formation in the middle of running. Everyone can't be too prominent or too backward, so that the square can be rushed to the target as a whole. The recruits tend to lose sight of each other, while the instructors at the side of the field The buzz is always on...

After a charge training, the recruits were all numb, the gun shield and the helmet were thrown aside, and fell directly to the ground, panting. But the training was not finished yet, the instructor kicked and pulled again, and the recruits rushed to the Sisno River.

The next training program is swimming. This is a favorite project of the recruits of the old citizens of Alsinis and Amendola. Don't look at the Amendola Lara is a mountain town, but there are many rivers in the territory, so citizens can swim. Alcinis cheered and quickly took off their equipment and “plopped” into the water. The cool river immediately took away the heat from their training, washed away the sweat and dust, and eliminated the fatigue of the body... Alsini, after swimming in the water for a while, went ashore, because the recruits had a Yuxing show to watch: the usual veterans who looked above the top and looked down on them were a lot of clumsy in the river. Learning to swim, the Greeks are maritime people, most of them are swimming, but some city-states are located in the mountains and inland, and there are few rivers. Natural people have no chance to learn to swim, such as Thessaly.

Although these veterans are awkward and have been drowning, they continue to practice.

Alcini smiled and smiled, and didn't smile. He remembered that the instructors said when they talked about the importance of swimming: when they were in Persia, they marched hard and fought against the Persians. They had to go through many alpine rivers on the way. Some of his comrades braved the enemy because they could not swim. The bow and arrow forced the river, slipped into the river, and drowned in vain. Therefore, in the war, soldiers will encounter a variety of accidents, so it is best to learn a variety of combat skills in order to protect themselves and kill the enemy.

At this time, a huge cheer from the front awakened the meditation of Alcini.

"What's wrong?" He asked the teammate who was looking downstream.

"I heard that the governor is swimming with people." The answer is Melishanda, his father also died in this war. The mother in her thirties just married the new veteran of the Senate, the military officer, Filipino. S, Melishanda is only 16 years old and has not yet reached the age of service, but he insisted on participating in the training. His purpose was the same as that of Alsinis. He was taken to the unfamiliar adoptive father Felicius and went to find Davis. Daphst approved him to participate in the training, but he was unable to go to the battlefield in adulthood. Because Alsini is close to him and is the youngest of the military camps, he became a good friend.

"The Archon is also swimming!" Alcini is very surprised.

"Daveus is always asking others to do it. He must do it first. He trains with the veterans, and you can't usually see it." The instructor's voice rang in his ear.

Arsini nodded and excitedly ran downstream.

"Wait for me!" Melishanda shouted.

The two men desperately squeezed into the crowd, and then they saw that five people in the river were struggling to draw water in the rush of drums. One of them was paddling for the water, and the body kept tilting left and right, one of them never The swimming movements I have seen swiftly move forward like a big fish, and the rest of the people are a long distance...

When the drums stopped, the man stood up and the Sisno River had no waist. He was the Daves consul. Alcinis had seen him at the referendum.

At this time, Davers laughed: "Who else is willing to come down and try?"

The soldiers who had been cheering before were quiet.

Seeing no one responded, Daves turned and hugged with several other players and prepared to go ashore.

Melishanda slammed Arsenis, and Alcini suddenly rushed out of the crowd, facing the eyes of everyone, and he shouted in a hurry: "I... I am coming!"

The soldiers were amazed: "It’s a child!" There is regret in the words.

"What's wrong with children! Davers is just a few years older than us!" Melishanda retorted, everyone was dumb.

"Good to say, Melishanda! Aspirations are not high!" Davers smiled at Melishanda. Because of Felicius, he recognized the young man and then focused his attention on Alsinis. : "The people who dare to challenge are often young people!"

Alsini went to Daves with some nervousness: the Greeks of this era were healthy and beautiful, and swimming naturally was also full body. Davers has a medium head and a well-proportioned shape. The eyes are exceptionally sharp, but at this moment, the smile is covered with a smile.

Davers is also looking at Alsinis, he smiled: "I don't seem to have seen you, you are a recruit?"

"Yes, the Archon is an adult. My name is Alsinis, the son of Aligras." Alcinis said nervously: "I... I may not swim fast, but I am willing to play with you."

Dafoss claimed to praise: "As a soldier, there must be such courage to dare to fight! Our Amendora soldiers should have and must have such fighting spirit!"

After Davers said, the soldiers on the shore shouted in unison: "Wansheng! Wansheng!! Wansheng!!!..."

In such an atmosphere, Alsini was suddenly not nervous, and his heart was full of strength. Of course, the result of the game: he lost.

Davers patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him to say, "If you train well, you can be a warrior!"

Alcini nodded hard, it was strange that Daves was only two years older than him, and he felt like a respected elder was talking to him.

"Who is your instructor?" Daphus asked again.

"Matonis."

"Oh, that guy." Daphus smiled on his face: "You will feel happy when you train under his guidance, because he is very short-sighted; but he will also feel pain because he is strict, especially you."

The last sentence made Arciennes unknown.

Davers looked up and shouted to the surrounding soldiers: "Brothers, how fast can I swim?"

"fast!!!"

"Do you want to learn?"

"miss you!!!"

"I will write down my swimming movements and add them to the training section of the Military Law. You will follow this practice in the future. I hope that you can learn as soon as possible!"

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

After the swim, the sun is already in the middle of the sky, and it is time to eat. Traditionally, the Greeks only ate two meals a day, but Davers believed that the soldiers were hard to train and consumed too much. They had to add food at noon to complete the day's training.

The soldiers took out the bread and cheese brought from home, and the military officer Felicius led his subordinates and slaves to each soldier to provide a bowl of meaty sheep soup. Now the money for selling lamb is the disability from the weapons shop. In the Soldier Fund, the future battle will be seized in addition to weapons. www.readwn.com~ The money sold by other items will be included in the military department, so the cost of training will be settled.

Alcini bites the bread and drinks the steaming sheep soup. He feels that he has gained strength all the time. He said: "Melly Shanda, I heard the old man say, 'The governor is too strong, and the bill is all him. Deciding that the opportunity not to be discussed by others is to be a dictator. Today, the character of the governor is very easygoing!"

Next to Melishanda, he said, "Don't listen to the old people, they are jealous! Because Davers adults have just become citizens of Amendola, they become the governors and the veterans of the Senate. People have this ability, or you think that Turui will ask for an equal alliance agreement with us, not because they are there, or they have sent messengers to condemn them! I also hope that Davers is more powerful. Don't be like the previous one, the Senate has not been able to solve a problem for a long time! You see how much Amendara is changing now!"

"You are right!" Alcinis snorted and drank a large mutton soup and looked up at Melishanda: "It seems that you are getting along well with your adoptive father."

Melishan took a sip and bit a few bites of bread, and said vaguely: "Alright... he is very good to my mother... it works for me, but if he can be more like a teacher, It’s better...”
