Chapter 109 The new commander

Crotokatacs, who received Davers' instructions, obviously had no such thoughts. He first walked to Leoticids, saluted him solemnly, and then said earnestly: "General Prosouus, thank you for your contribution to the kingdom! The father expressed his understanding of your voluntary request to resign from the position of commander, and hoped that you would not care too much about this matter! He also asked me to bring you a letter written by him."

After saying that, he took out the letter from his arms in a slightly exaggerated manner and slowly handed it to Leoticids.

This scene was seen and heard by the people around him, especially the generals of the army immediately understood one thing: although the fact that "Prosous was the Spartan prince" had been confirmed, he still did not lose the valor of King Davers.

Since Agsilous visited, under the indulgence of some people, some news has spread in the army, which has made the morale of the army a little unstable. Even if Leoticids makes every effort to rectify it, the effect is not very good, because there are rumors that Prosous will be removed from his position as commander and return to China for investigation and punishment.

Now it seems that the rumor is only half right, General Prosouus is still valued by His Majesty the King, which at least gives peace to the soldiers of the First Legion.

Leo mentioned that there was a slight fluctuation on Des' dull face. He took the letter and said, "Thank you for your trust! I hope your highness will go well in the next battle!"

"The general has made outstanding achievements and is familiar with the situation of Peloponnese. I still have many things to ask the general for advice!" Crotokatax said sincerely.

"Yes." Leoticids nodded without hesitation.

Crotokatax turned to the commander of the Fourth Legion and said earnestly: "Uncle Olivers, I am the first time I serve as commander, and I hope you can get your help!"

After Agsilous visited, Olivers saw a glimmer of hope of taking over as commander, but when the envoy of the Military Affairs Department arrived in Mesenia before the fleet and announced the new appointment to everyone, the commander of the Legion, who was in trouble, immediately understood His Majesty the King's intention and quickly adjusted his mind. At this moment, he said with a smile: "Please rest assured that Your Highness Croto, I will help you with all my strength!"

"Thank you, Uncle Olivers!" After expressing his gratitude, Crotokataks then turned to the commander of the Sixth Legion: "Captain Trotilas Legion, I'm glad to be able to fight alongside you-"

Before Crotokataks finished speaking, Trotilas quickly saluted and said loudly: "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will strictly abide by the military law and execute the orders you gave!"

Although Trotilas was also one of the mercenary soldiers of Menon, he was not in the company to which Davers, so he did not establish a deep friendship with Davers during Persia, like Hilos, Matonis, Olivers and others. However, he was very content. He believed that compared to those comrades who died in battle, were now the greatest blessing to Hades. Even when Giogris retired and the Military Affairs Department wanted to promote him to the commander of the Fifth Army, he also expressed his refusal and stayed in Silitun. Now, he does not have much thought about the position of commander. Even if the commander was Crotokataks, who had no military experience, he firmly believed that King Davers, who led them to fight countless victories, was not making this appointment randomly.

After receiving the promise from the two commanders of the Expeditionary Force in person, it would be much easier for Crotokataks to take over the army next. He walked towards Tisias in a happy mood.

When Tisias saw Crotokatax approaching, he immediately bent down respectfully and saluted: "Your Highness!"

Crotokataks quickly supported him: "Mr. Tissias, thank you! My father asked me to bring a message to him. This is his original words, 'After you arrive in Messias, you must go to see Tissias and tell him that he has completed the tasks assigned by the kingdom very well! I hope he will lead other Dionian citizens to continue to work hard to make Messias faster and better develop, so that it will not only become Dionia's most determined ally in Greece, but also a very powerful ally! If this can be done, the kingdom will not forget their contributions!'..."

Tisias turned around and said to everyone excitedly: "Did you all hear it? This is your Majesty's affirmation of what we have made! Your Majesty also encourages us to build Mesenia better!"

"King of Dionia is a thousand victories!" The former Dionian citizens shouted excitedly, which also attracted the local Mesenian MPs to respond.

Just as the Mesenian MPs led by Tisias enthusiastically reported the situation in Mesenia with Crotokatax, Olivers and Trotiras also met with Kticus, Protors, the commander of the First Cavalry Legion, and the commander of the Seventh Legion Tigtinos.

"Printols, I will ask you more when assisting His Highness in handling military affairs." Although Pritols is the chief of staff and is higher than Olivers in his official rank, Olivers is a veteran in the army, so his words are preaching tone.

Printols did not seem to be displeased with this, but said modestly: "No, Lord Oliverus, I am not alone. It requires us to discuss and work together to finally win the victory of this expedition to Greece!"

Olivers was stunned and blushed slightly. Before the Military Affairs Department sent a new appointment. After he learned that Chief of Staff Printols had become the temporary staff officer of the army, he realized that it was his Majesty who wanted him to escort Crotokatax, and he was inevitably a little jealous. But this senior official of the Kingdom Military Affairs Department who was a teenager younger than him not only offered to discuss with everyone, but also showed respect in his title according to the requirements of military law, which made Olivers himself look too stingy.

Just as he was still hesitating whether to make up for it, Printols said again: "Although His Highness lacks military experience, he is very smart, calm, and has the protection of Hades, and has the ability to become an excellent commander. And when he was leaving, His Majesty repeatedly told me that he could provide various suggestions to His Highness, and even criticize and correct the orders he wanted to give, but it is best not to exercise command power on his behalf!"

Oliver's heart was silent for a moment, his eyes flew over Printols, and he said to the person behind him: "Kitsus, I didn't expect that you would be the one who took over the First Legion!"

"I didn't expect that I had retired and was called back by the Military Affairs Office and became the commander of the First Legion! Lord Olivers, you know, I don't want to be the commander of this Legion. There are too many troubles, and fortunately it is only temporary." Kticus spread his hands with a teasing smile: "But I am still very happy to be the commander of the First Legion and be ahead of you."

The reason why Kitsus dares to joke like this is because he has a good relationship with Olivers. In his early years, he belonged to Martonis. He was lazy by nature, which made Martonis, who was strict with him very troubled. Olivers, who had always opposed Martonis, secretly sent people to encourage Kitsus to continue doing this...

Olivers indeed laughed and scolded: "You Ktisus, a temporary First Legion commander will let your tail be raised to the sky! With your body after retirement, can you lead the First Legion?"

"You are two years older than me, you can, of course I can do it." Kticus retorted.

"You boy...you are stubborn now. I'll welcome you tonight and see if I won't pour you down!" Olivers cursed with a smile.

Kticus stopped talking because he couldn't drink well.

"Sir Oliverus, are you there me for the dinner tonight?!" Tigertinos, the commander of the Seventh Legion, interjected.

In the Western Mediterranean War, Tigertilos led the 9th Legion to conquer the entire Sardinia. Although the 3rd Fleet played a great role, Tigertilos still made great contributions. Therefore, after the war, Davers planned to transfer Tigertilos to the Military Affairs Department to replace the already elderly Hilonimus and serve as the military training commander, but he refused. He wanted to stay in the army. For this reason, Davers had to promote him to a higher level of legion as much as possible (according to the military tradition of the kingdom, the higher the commander of the higher the ranks in the army, of course this does not mean that the combat effectiveness of his ranks is also higher). At this time, the commander of the 7th Legion, Zantiparis, died of illness, and Tigertilosje took over.

Not long after, Giogris was persuaded by Davers to serve as the commander of the military commander, and the position of commander of the Fifth Legion was vacant. The Ministry of Military Affairs issued another notice, asking Tigtinos to take over, but he refused. He said: I just arrived in Locre, and the soldiers were transferred before they recognized it. It was like being a deserter. Let me talk about it after I took the commander of the Seventh Legion.

In the end, the Ministry of Military Affairs had to let the former commander of the 10th Army, Melisandar, become the commander of the Fifth Army.

"Of course, how can you not be missing your barrel!" Oliverus smiled, and he turned to Trotiras and said, "This time is really rare. The four legion commanders who gathered in Mesenia were all comrades in Persia back then. Let's have a dinner together tonight and have a good chat about the past!"
