Chapter 17 Legion and Flag-Giving (2)
"That was a moment of anger. In fact, Hilos is a very good person and very modest, and he often asks me questions." Antiquelis said straightforwardly: "What's more, my two new son-in-law are new citizens, especially the eldest son-in-law, but the team leader! See, there... the tall man wearing a white helmet is my eldest son-in-law!"
"I said Antiquelis, what is a team leader? He only cares about how many people he is! Thinking about it, you and I have even been the captain of the team leader." Stromboli disagreed.
"That's different. We were appointed by the consul because of our noble status. But after Trotilas said, Consul Davers stipulated that the squad leader must be in a long battle, and be recognized by the soldiers, elected by them, and approved by superiors to serve.' Therefore, we can command the soldiers under our command who are equally experienced and arrogant." Antiquelis said proudly.
Stromboli stopped talking. No matter how he picked his fingers, he could not deny the power of the Persian Expeditionary Army soldiers. He could command them, and his natural ability was extraordinary.

Christoya looked at the center of the square, Davers standing high in cheers, her eyes blurred: This is the husband she chose in the war. As it turns out, her vision is not wrong, Davers realized his ideal!
"Sir, the Consul!" A crisp voice awakened her. She didn't have to look back and knew that it was Andrea. A few days ago, Christoya learned about Andrea's story while chatting with Davers. She was moved by her infatuation. She asked Andrea to be a helper on the grounds of running a bank and lacking staff. Andrea happily agreed, and soon the two became friends. With the shield of Mrs. Davers, Cristoya, others talked less and rolled their eyes to Andrea.
"Why are you interested in Davers?" Christoya teased.
"Madam, don't laugh at me." Andrea said angrily.
"I heard that Davers ordered the Lucanians to come and watch the ceremony. After that, I ask Davers to arrange for you to meet him, how about it?" Cristoya said seriously.
Andrea expressed her gratitude openly: "Thank you, madam!"
Cristoya looked back at her and spoke in a tone: "You really plan to wait for him for five years?"
Andrea nodded without hesitation.
While sighing, Cristoya remembered what Davers said, and said, "Then you advise Bagule more to take care of his tribe, do not make mistakes, and earnestly complete the various tasks assigned by the city-state. Once the city-state takes any major actions, actively participate, strive to make achievements, and shorten the five-year deadline as soon as possible!..."
Andrea nodded heavily.
Cristoya stroked her face with emotion: "Sister sincerely hopes that your waiting will not last long, and your wish will come true in the end!"
Andrea bit her lip and was about to cry.

Military officer Philicius stepped forward and said loudly: "Now on behalf of the Senate, I announce the establishment of the First Legion of Amendorala! The commander of the legion is Davers!"
The audience was filled with joy.
"Give the flag of the First Legion!"
The sound of the military trumpet sounded, and the square was filled with solemnity.
Phelis looked solemn, holding a four-meter-long flag in both hands. Davers took it respectfully with both hands, raised it high, and slowly surrounding the platform.
Melsis shouted outside the court: "Did you see it? I spent several days carefully designing it and urging people to do it specifically. It's beautiful?!!"
"Did you designed it?" Marigi's face was full of doubt.
Melsis laughed dryly: "I said it was a mess. Davers designed the flags, but without me, these flags would not have been made so quickly!"
The soldiers held their breath and looked up at the golden flag in the air. At the top of the flag was a brass statue of Pluto Hades holding a double fork (there is no way, Amendorala is poor now, so she can only use brass for the time being). The next circle of the statue was red fluffy flag tassels, and a straight square red linen mixed thick cloth was placed on the straight flag pole. The flag was embroidered with golden Greek "First Legion" and a Venus was painted in the middle of the other side. Davers was pointing at this Venus and shouting loudly to the soldiers below: "Brothers of the First Legion, this Venus represents your honor to annihilate the Lucanian tribal coalition and recover Amendorala. As the founder of the new Amendorala legion, it is unique!"
The soldiers cheered loudly, straightened their chests, and looked at the shining flag of Venus, with pride in their eyes.
"Next, every time you win a big victory, a Venus will be drawn on it, so that the people can remember your achievements! I hope that you will use continuous victory to make Venus spread across the legion's banner!" Davers' eager expectation made the soldiers excited and cheered: "Wan Sheng!"
"Wan Sheng!!"
"Wansheng!!!"

The morale of the soldiers in the square reached its peak.
"I have never heard of such a military flag in the past few decades since I participated in the battle of the city-state! This kind of motivating morale! As a citizen, how glorious it would be to fight under such a military flag!!" Antiquelis looked at the flag very yearning.
"I heard that the statue of Hades is embedded on the top of this big flag. This is Davers' vague claiming that he is the favored man of the Pluto!" Strongpoly said dissatisfiedly.
"Didn't it mean that many people think this is true?" Antiquelis said disapprovingly. He covered the broken end of his right hand with his left hand and sighed: "What's more, Hades is on our side, bringing death to the enemy, which is a good thing! It can be expected that our First Legion will surely become a terrible army! Unfortunately, I can't fight under the army of Pluto!"

"Please ask Martius, the flag bearer of the First Legion, to come to the stage to receive the flag!" Phelis shouted.
Martius, the captain of the guard who usually claimed to be brave, couldn't help but feel nervous at this moment. He tightened his armor again, raised his helmet again, walked onto the stage with a solemn expression, stood in front of Davers, and hit his left chest with a strong fist.
Davers also replied to the military salute and said loudly: "The army flag bearer is the bravest soldier in the entire army. It is the highest honor! I hope that you will hold the battle flag high on the battlefield, no matter how dangerous it is in front of you, always move forward and encourage the entire army to win!"
Martius solemnly took the military flag and swore solemnly: "Hadis is above, Martius, I, Martius, will protect the military flag as if I, and will always move forward and never retreat!"
Amid the cheers, Matonis murmured in a low voice: "If I hadn't been the captain of the company, this flag bearer would have been mine!"
"Next, please ask Cappus, the captain of the First Brigade, to come to the stage to accept the flag of the First Brigade!"
Before Capps could set off, the soldiers behind him began to urge, "Captain, hurry up! Go and pick up the flag!"
Capps walked onto the stage slowly.
Davers took the team flag from the guards, held it in his hand, and said to Capps earnestly: "The first brigade of the Legion is the example of the entire legion, the elite among the elite! In the battle, wherever there is the most difficult and wherever there is the most dangerous, the first brigade must face the difficulties and open the door to victory for the entire army! I hope you remember this!"
"The First Brigade of the First Legion will definitely not disappoint you, Lord Consul. The First Brigade will always be the spear of the entire army!" Cappus' tone was as hard and powerful as gold and stone.
He had the flag of the First Battalion and looked at it carefully: unlike the flag of the Legion, its flag top was an iron statue of Thanatos, the god of death under the Pluto Hades. He was holding a sword, wearing a black robe, spreading his wings, and his face was ferocious. The flagpole under the statue was also a red flag, with a golden Greek embroidered on the upper, and a golden star on the back...
Capps waved the flag, and the first group of soldiers below the stage cheered and thundered.
Next came the captain of the Second Brigade, Dracos, who had not recovered from his injuries and was still wearing bandages, but was still fully armed. When he staggered onto the stage, the soldiers below heard cheers of encouragement.
Looking at the tough guy who had fought with him, Davers asked with concern: "Drax, are you okay?"
"The doctor said it's okay." Dracos looked calm. Facing Davers who had beaten him, he now only had respect in his heart: "Thank you for your concern!"
"The battle with the Lucanian coalition allowed me to see the bravery of the soldiers of the Second Battalion. But to be honest, you still have a big gap compared to the First Battalion. I hope that in your future training, you will restrain them according to the military law, train them, and let them catch up as soon as possible!" Davers said with ardent expectations.
"Don't worry, Lord Consul, the Second Team will not lose to anyone!" Drax said firmly.
When the captain of the third squadron, Hironimus, came on stage, Davers didn't say anything more because he knew Hironimus would definitely train his squad.
When Epigenis, the captain of the 7th brigade, came to power, the nimble captain took the initiative to ask Davers: "Sir, you see, my brigade has the smallest number of people, and there is still 400 people left to be fully equipped. Can I allow me to send people to Thrace, Crete and Rhode Island to recruit some light shield soldiers, archers and stone throwers?"
"Go to Amendorara to be a free man?" Davers asked with a smile.
"Of course, you should be a free citizen at the beginning, and then follow the requirements of your previous proposal in the Senate, and apply to become an Amendoral citizen in a few years." Epitians laughed.
Davers was happy to see this happening, but he reminded Epigenis.
Brothers, happy Children's Day!
Given that today is the last day of the week on the shelves, I decided to update three times.
The inventory has been exhausted and will resume one update a day tomorrow. After the suspension is closed, the update will be added.
Chapter completed!
