Although Davers was new to military affairs, he also saw that this formation was mainly to prevent the Persians from raiding and protecting the baggage, and the speed of such a wide frontal march would definitely not be fast, and under the persecution of the Persians, this was also a helpless move. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Several people gathered around to look at the crude sketches on the ground.

Timasong pointed to the two squares in the front and said, "Chrysopus is a Spartan, and his soldiers are all Lassidians, rich in combat experience, and I think everyone will be relieved that they will be the vanguard and open the way for the whole army." ”

There was no objection to this proposal.

"Secondly......" Timason pondered which position his barracks should be responsible for.

"Secondly, I am the youngest, and I am willing to be the queen of the whole army!" Davers preemptively said emotionally.

Phellisius was excited, and thought to himself: It's over, Davers forgot what he had discussed in advance, and took the initiative to ask to be a defender, and he was still young and inexperienced!

In front of everyone's eyes, Philicius didn't dare to make a big move, so he had to look at Davers vigorously.

But I heard Tima Song say in surprise: "You...... You want a queen?! No! No! He shook his head again and again: "The guard is very important, and you must have rich experience in order to face all kinds of complex situations...... Let our barracks act as the guard. ”

As soon as Timasong finished speaking, Davers answered: "Isn't there another defender, I am willing to serve with you!" ”

"No!!" Timasong didn't think about it and refused loudly: "Criano, come and join me in the palace!" He directly designated his comrades-in-arms who fought alongside him.

Cleiono's relationship with Timason was good, so he had to nod his head at the moment.

The choice of the defender was decided so quickly. Phellisius didn't understand at this moment that Davers had deliberately set a trap to lure Timason into the bait, and that he was not worthy of being an adjutant.

The furrow between Chrysops's brows deepened, and he did not appreciate the little tricks played by Davers, but he was more disgusted, but he knew that Timason had made the right choice, so he simply said to Davers: "Your barracks are responsible for protecting the left wing." "Since the mercenaries marched north along the Tigris, the left flank was most of the time close to the river bank and should have encountered the least danger.

Davers saw the undisguised contempt in Chrythops' eyes, and he secretly clenched his fists and nodded in agreement.

Chrysops then offered to have Zantiparis play as a striker.

Also unwilling is Hieronymus, and Christopus they also consider that the original adjutant of the Proxinus military camp was Agacia, and now the elected leader has been replaced by the squadron leader Hieronymus, but he is the last to arrive, indicating that the soldiers in this military camp have a big dispute about who is the leader, and for the sake of insurance, let their military camp serve as the right wing.

After the leaders have completed the military meeting, it is time to hold an all-army meeting.

This was both a public rally for the new leader and a good opportunity to unify the minds of the soldiers, so Chrysops reminded everyone to speak more morale-boosting words.

When he made a request to the leaders, his eyes stayed more on Davers, he was not at ease with this too young leader, you must know that it was a gathering of tens of thousands of people, most people were so nervous that they couldn't even speak under such a big scene, in case Davos messed up, it would turn this well-arranged pledge meeting into a farce!

So, he proposed to Davers that he could have the adjutant Pherisius give a speech on his behalf.

But Davers insisted on going in person.

Christopus looked very unpleasant, but he could not help but let Davers attend, for he was the new leader unanimously elected by Menon's barracks, and he had 14,500 soldiers, or about one-ninth of the whole army. So he put Davers in second place, and if Davers is bad, there is the leader behind him to make up for it.

……………………………………

It's the end of August, late summer, and the afternoon weather is no longer so hot.

A wooden platform was erected in the center of the Timasong camp (formerly the Clearchus barracks), and the tents around it had been cleared, freeing up a large open space that was filled by soldiers from various mercenary camps, who stood or sat and chatted with each other......

The whole venue was crowded with people and the sound was noisy......

Escorted by heavily armed soldiers, Chrysops and his party squeezed a passage through the dense crowd and came under the wooden platform.

Chrysops was the first to take the stage.

There was a commotion among the soldiers in the audience.

Due to the deliberate low profile of Chrysops before, most of the ordinary soldiers did not know who he was, and they were surprised to see a stranger on the stage first, and asked each other his name.

Around the wooden platform stood a dozen soldiers with loud voices, who were responsible for repeating the speaker's speech so that the thousands of soldiers in the audience could hear it.

"Brethren from all over Greece, I am Curithorus of Sparta!" ”

After the retransmission of the soldiers on the wooden platform, the soldiers in the audience were in an uproar, and their shock was even greater than when Davers first heard the news: the Spartan warriors had been fighting one battle after another for hundreds of years, and the Greeks of the other city-states were intimidated by their bravery and strength. Today, Sparta has become the hegemon of the Greek world, dominating the Mediterranean. How could the Spartan procurator not be thrilled and excited by the fact that they were among the ordinary freemen, and the soldiers, who had been terrified by the murder of their leader, suddenly felt supported, and their panicked faces began to turn bloody, and they had some curiosity to pay attention to something other than survival: why did the high-ranking Spartan procurator appear here?

So when Callethops asked them to be quiet, the soldiers actually stopped the noise.

"Brethren, we are in a terrible situation right now! Not only have we lost our long-standing and capable leaders, some squadron leaders, and soldiers; And our former ally Arirous and his men have betrayed us! However, the more critical the situation, the more we must muster ourselves as soon as possible, bravely face the Persians who want to destroy us, never give in, defeat the enemy with the bravery of our Greeks and our shield spears, and fight for ourselves a way back to Greece! Zeus will walk with the brave!! The Spartans were fond of brevity, and Chrysopus had just reminded everyone to say more encouraging words, but he himself had just excited the soldiers and quickly ended his speech.

When Chrysops walked by Davers after stepping down, he saw Davers smiling at him, and thought to himself: "It's okay, this young leader doesn't look nervous, but why bring a herald to the stage and let him carry a dozen thin sticks?"

Assistes also did not understand the purpose of Davos asking him to follow him on the stage with a stick, but as soon as he stood on the wooden platform, he immediately could not think about it anymore, because the audience was crowded with people in all directions, and the dense crowd stretched into the distance...... At this moment, the noise in his ears was far noisier than that of the audience, as if the sea below was a stormy sea, and he and Davers were lonely boats floating in the depths of the sea, in danger of capsizing at any moment.

Assistes couldn't stop his legs from shaking, and he even felt like he might collapse at any moment, along with the wooden platform that was also trembling under his feet......

"Oh! Oh! And voila! Who is this?! ”

"A little guy whose hair hasn't grown yet! This is not the place for you! Get down here, go home and drink your mother's milk! Hahaha......"

"This can't be the new leader of the barracks, right?! Are they crazy!! ”

………

Laughter and doubts were overwhelming.

Asistes was so shocked that he took a few steps back, almost to the edge of the wooden platform. To his admiration, Davers was still standing firmly in the center of the wooden platform......

The leaders in the audience also felt a little unbearable, they were dissatisfied with Davers, but at this moment they were one in the face of thousands of soldiers.

Timasong complained: "If I knew this would happen, I shouldn't have let him go up, it's hell!"

Others agreed.

Xenophon hurriedly said, "Let the next chief go up and replace him." ”

Chrythops was already regretting his previous decision, and nodded in agreement.
