v3 Chapter 15： Dionysius

Davers looked at the Syracuse messenger Herrose and went away. When he turned back to the living room, there was a bit of dignity and worry in the look: the tree was quiet and the wind was not there. It seems that Syracuse is going to prepare for the car Since the beginning of the war, no matter what the outcome, Amendo Lara must develop as soon as possible and grow up to be able to gain a foothold in this troubled world.

Two days later, Syracuse’s lord Dionysius listened to Herris’s report in his palace. His face was gloomy and then he laughed: “What a small mercenary leader actually became? Lifelong Archon! Marcias, what do you think?"

Once the head of Campania's mercenary, Masias wore an armor and stood straight in the first place. He said without hesitation: "Adult, I think that as a mercenary leader, you should focus on how to play. Win a battle, earn money and honor for yourself, not do something that you can't do at all. Although it looks good, it can easily lead to failure, and it will drag down the innocent people."

"You are right!" Dionysius praised, he patted the back of the chair: "I am sitting in this position, tremble every day, dare not slack off! A mercenary who can only fight bravely Actually dare to be a city-state lord!"

Herolus couldn’t help but say: "Adult, this Davis is not the Lord, but the lifelong consul elected by the people of Amendara!"

"Herolis, what do you mean by this?!" Dionysius looked straight at Hercules like a sharp knife.

Herollis realized that she had inadvertently touched the scales of Dionysius, and immediately scared a cold sweat, bowed her head and did not dare to speak again.

Dionysius carefully looked at him for a while before regaining his gaze and dismissively said: "He just played a little trick, only to say that this young man is a little smart, no wonder he can play a few wins. Unfortunately. No vision. Phillips, do you know how many citizens are there in Amendola?"

A middle-aged man with a temperament and a sadness in the nearest left hand of Dionysius said: "As far as I know, there should be less than 4,000 citizens, of course, it is far below this number."

"You listen, even if Amendo Lara is not in the war, it is only 4,000 citizens, not as many citizens as we are in a block in the city of Kuza, Greece." Dionysius shrugged and said disdainfully.

There was a laugh in the palace.

"What is the speed of the mercenary leader of Daves coming to me, and I have chosen to beat Carthage, Marsala, Palermo, Erice, Egadi, Segesta and other cities to choose from him. Going to be the lord is better than the nest in the small town of Amendola, but unfortunately he will not have another chance!" Dionysius said with great enthusiasm, then looked at Masias: "We want to attack How is the army of Carthage ready?"

"Now there are more than 10,000 mercenaries coming to camp outside Syracuse. We can mobilize at least 40,000 civic soldiers in Syracuse, count on Kataney, Leotini, Tonys, Pachinus. There are about 20,000 troops in the city-state. In addition, there are two thousand cavalry. Adults, the army you own is a powerful army that has never been seen in the history of the Greek city-state! Even the most powerful Athens in the past did not. A huge army!" Mathias said excitedly.

Dionysius’s expression was calm, turning his eyes to his younger brother, Leptinies: “How is the navy prepared?”

Although Leptinis is a brother to Dionysius, he seems to be a bit honest and honest, but in fact it is. Because of this, Dionysius was very reliant on this younger brother and promoted him as the commander of the Syracuse Navy. At this time, he replied: "There are now three hundred-layer warships with three layers of warships, plus other warships, a total of three hundred and twenty large and small warships."

"Not enough..." Dionysius sighed, his fingers banging on the back of the chair: "You must understand that fighting with Carthage, two are essential - the warship and Cavalry, and we are not enough. Leputines, it seems that you have to urge other city-states to speed up the construction of the warship. As for the cavalry, Masias, you sent people to the Apennine peninsula to recruit Celtic cavalry. Phillips, you go to Sparta and ask for some Cesare cavalry. You must speed up your progress! Next spring, we will start attacking Gera!"

The three responded immediately: they will do their best to complete the task assigned to Dionysius!

"Masias, work hard! A small mercenary leader can annihilate the savage record of the barbaric indigenous people with two thousand hands. We have the largest army in the Greek city-state but can't create greater glory. Too shameful!” Dionysius still cares about Davers’s rejection of him, and motivated Masias.

"Adult, please rest assured, I will not let you down!" Masias immediately expressed his position.

"Very good, Mathias!" Dionysius praised again, then he waved his hand: "Felistos stayed, you all go down."

Hercules, Masias, Leptinies and two other courtiers retreated, and Dionysius’s eyes followed the back of Herolis until Philipist called him name.

"Do you think Herris has changed a bit?" The fingers hit the back of the chair, and Dionysius had a haze on his face.

Phillips was shocked and carefully defended Herrolis: "Adult, I have nothing to discover, and Khrowlis is the same as before."

Dionysius glanced at him: "You have a good relationship with him, I know. I also miss it very much. When I am in the most difficult time, he gives me help, so I don't want anything to undermine our friendship!" "Dionysius said something emotional: "... I recently heard that he is studying the history of Egypt. I think he can give him a period of leave, so that he can concentrate on his research..." Dior Nisius muttered to himself, and Phillips sighed in his heart: "Adult, I understand..."

"This is only a temporary arrangement..." Dionysius comforted.

"Philips, Felosanus is your good friend, can you please ask him to come here?" Dionysius turned and said: "I just wrote a poem, I want to ask him and You come to do the evaluation together. You know, when I discussed poetry with him last time, I didn’t say a word well, and I offended him. I haven’t come to me for three months.”

"Ferrosanus is a good person, that is, love is on the shelf, I try my best to help you to persuade him." Phillips smiled and said: "Adult, you, the Almighty General, there is no way to take ordinary citizens!"

Dionysius also laughed and spread his hands: "So who said that I Dionysius dictatorship!"

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

During this time, Davers and the military officer Felicius were busy with the preparation of the city-state army.

After the mercenaries became citizens of Amendora, they had more than a thousand soldiers in Dracos, Seta, and Adrians. After Daves had more than 1,800 soldiers, the slaves became free people. There are nearly three hundred people, and the original city-state citizens are about two hundred and fifty people in the service age range. The total number of people in the city of Amendola is now about 3,500.

The highest position of the former mercenary was the captain (in fact, Daves himself), and the highest level was compiled for the brigade. As the number of combatants increased, the original compilation could not adapt to the actual situation of the current city-state. After Devers and Felicius negotiated, they decided to add a higher-level military establishment. Davers named it "Army", the head of the highest duty army, and still Daves himself. The tentative number is The main force of 7,000 people, under the jurisdiction of seven brigades (six heavy infantry brigades and a light infantry brigade), each brigade a thousand people, the highest rank of the captain (later known as "the commander"); a brigade It has five company teams, each with two hundred people, the highest rank company commander (also known as the centurion); one company has four teams, each with 50 teams and the highest rank leader.

Because Daves was influenced by past Romans, he was prepared to cancel the detachment and change to the 100-man team, but Felicius raised objections. He believes that the squad is quite dominant in the melee and mountain stations because it is more flexible and flexible. With the support of four teams the ability of the company's independent operations has also been greatly enhanced. After repeated considerations, Davers finally agreed with the opinions of Felicius. Since then, the detachment has been established as a unique military system in the city-state under the jurisdiction of Dafoss, and the detachment leader, as the lowest level among the officers, plays a key role in the corps, and is later called the "military head" by the soldiers. . Later, many of the generals under Daves were proud to serve as the captains, so that Daves had ordered the military to stipulate that only two years as a team leader would be eligible for promotion to the upper ranks. The position of the captain is even more dazzling, of course, this is a follow-up.

A detachment has five squads, each of which has 10 squads, and the highest squad leader (later renamed the "Sergeant, the veteran"). In addition, the corps also has a cavalry team, engineering camp, medical camp, 辎 heavy camp... ...etc. The actual number of its legions may be as high as 8,000. Of course, these are just assumptions.

Since the number of combatants in the city of Amendola is only about 3,500, Davers has compiled it into four brigades.

The soldiers of the first brigade were all from the mercenaries led by Davis. The candidates of the captains made Davers and Felicius a bit of a headache. In terms of ability and prestige, Antonios and Capus were comparable. Later Considering that Antonios is serving as a city state ombudsman, this is the third person in the city-state public office after the governor and the city chief. For the sake of balance, Davers decided to be Kapp after talking with the two. Si is the first captain.
