Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Chapter 149 Training and going home

It's not that Davos has not considered the weak protection of the spearmen, but the spearmen are not in his future plans for the Dionysian army. In his mind, this is just a temporary force. After arriving, Dionia can train more powerful cavalry to deal with the enemy's cavalry.

Blow the marching horn, let them run, and then charge again for me to see. Davers looked at the sky and urged.

Although Davos said so, it is still dangerous to let the freemen who have never used such a long spear carry a gun in a group charge. Therefore, the instructors repeatedly instructed the recruits on the essentials of movement at the front of the queue.

Woooooo!... The bugle rang three times in a row, and the freemen, led by the instructor, raised their spears in both hands and started jogging.

The queues that were finally restored to order before became crooked again as the speed increased, and the gap between the front and rear columns was also widening.

At this time, the bugle sounded more rapidly, and the recruits roared. The soldiers in the first row flattened their spears, and the soldiers in the rear row raised their spears in turn to avoid accidentally hurting the soldiers in the front row while running. Viewed from the side, the spear goes from low to high, which is quite three-dimensional, but it didn't last long, and the formations of thousands of people were scattered in the charge. Some were too advanced, and some were lagging behind. A few people fell while running and accidentally injured several teammates.

Capps looked at Davos a little nervously.

Davos, on the other hand, had a calm expression on his face. He had changed the four-meter halberd of the Swiss in his previous life into a simpler spear, which reduced the weight, but it was obviously not the first use of the free people who had never been on the battlefield. What he could easily grasp, he thought about it, and said: I have a suggestion, don't charge in a unified large square, this is too rigid, and it is easy to disconnect the queue, it is better to take the squads as a small whole. , just like the phalanx of heavy infantry marching in a staggered manner before contacting the enemy, attacking the enemy cavalry in this way makes it easier for the officers to control the soldiers. It also makes the formation flexible and can occupy a larger area. For the cavalry from the Numibian plain and the Po River plain in Syracuse, our super-spearmen should also be more flexible to be able to catch them...

After carefully listening to Davos' suggestion, Capps was greatly inspired, and he immediately said: Your Majesty, I will immediately let them train according to what you said.

Davos solemnly reminded again: Lord Caps, there is not much training time left for them, you must try to make these free people familiar with the use and use of this spear as soon as possible within two or three days. Change of attack formation!

Capps nodded heavily and strode onto the training ground.

………………………………

Davers has been busy all day,

Finally set foot on the moonlit night and returned to his house.

Pushing open the door, I heard cheers: Master... No, Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, you are back! Congratulations on becoming King Dionia!

Your Majesty, congratulations on your defeat of the Syracuse Navy and the annihilation of the Tarantum!

...

Davos became King of Dionia, and the slaves in his mansion were consciously promoted and honored.

Davos nodded to them one by one, and finally came to Ribazzo, the slave chief: The family has worked hard for you during this time!

Your Majesty, this is my duty! Ribazzo said respectfully: The madam and the little masters are waiting for you in the inner courtyard!

It's so late that they haven't slept yet?! Davos was a little surprised, but more moved, and then he said to Riba seriously: You let them all go to rest and blow out the candles in the corridor. , Put it away, now is the time to celebrate! And how can such a waste, not afraid of public discussion!

Although Davos said it tactfully, Ribazzo heard the rebuke in his words, and he hurriedly bowed his head to plead guilty.

The higher the status, the more low-key and cautious you should be! You have to keep this sentence in mind at all times, and restrain them, otherwise whoever has a problem, I will settle the account with you first! Davos's warning made Ribazzo secretly alert.

Davos pushed open the door of the backyard, where Azuna was already waiting, and said happily, Your Majesty, welcome home!

Asuna, thanks to you during this time, Cristoia was able to give birth to Eunice smoothly, and the mother and daughter are safe, thank you! Davers sincerely thanked the backyard supervisor.

Although Asuna was excited, she did not dare to answer, but said, The two ladies and the children are waiting for you in Mrs. Cristoia's bedroom!

Oh, it seems to be lively tonight! Davos laughed.

Your Majesty, have you had dinner?

I'm too busy to eat, so you can prepare me two breads, a bowl of porridge, and a glass of wine.

Okay, Your Majesty, I will prepare it for you soon.

As soon as Davos opened the bedroom door, a figure quickly broke into his arms and cried eagerly, Dad, you're finally back, I miss you so much!

Davers smiled and hugged little Chloe: Dad misses you too, let Daddy see if you have gained weight during this time?

Little Chloe puffed up his cheeks immediately.

Davers was amused, and tugged lightly on his fleshy little face.

Father! A crisp voice came from behind.

Cynthia, I've only been away for a month, and you seem to have grown taller again. Davers said to his adopted daughter with a smile. He walked over with little Chloe, put his hand on Cynthia's head, and made a measurement height pose.

Father...Father. Adoris, who was beside Cynthia, shouted nervously. It is strange to say that Adoris is usually naughty, but when he sees Davos, he is nervous and well-behaved like a girl.

Adoris, you didn't ask the teacher to sue your mother, did you? Davers quipped.

No...no. Adoris shook his head hurriedly.

Father, the school has been temporarily closed. Cynthia interjected.

School suspended? Davos was slightly surprised, but after thinking about it, it was normal. He said, You all stay at home during this time, Cynthia, you are your elder sister, but you have to take care of these two younger brothers and take care of the two of you. Mother lightens the burden.

Well. Cynthia nodded seriously.

Cynthia is very sensible. She helped Agnes and I do a lot of things. But some people don't want to help. Even if they go back to the city after leaving home for so long, they don't want to go home and have a look! Davos looked up, Cristoia was sitting on the wooden bed, looking at him angrily, while Agnes was lying on the side of the bed, her face full of resentment.

I-- Davos just said the words, and found that this time is not suitable for review, he immediately said softly: Didn't I come back here?

Cristoia snorted: It's okay if you don't come back. Once you come back, you will give away more than half of the money we have worked so hard to earn over the past few years!

Agnes patted Cristoia secretly with her hand. With a traditional personality, she finally looked forward to her husband's return. She didn't want to spoil the warm atmosphere or even have a quarrel.

There was no need for Davos to defend, little Crow said loudly: Mom, don't blame Dad!

Hey, it's still my baby thinking of me! Davers happily kissed and kissed little Chloe's pink face: Go, go see your little sister with dad.

Eunice was lying beside Cristoia, now she was awake, but not crying.

When Davos approached her daughter, Cristoia hurriedly reminded: Be careful, don't scare her.

Don't worry, I'm Helps' teacher.

Does the doctor know how to raise children?

I'm a favored one, I know everything, including your... body. Davos leaned closer to her ear and whispered the last word.

Cristoia immediately blushed, stretched out her hand and hit him lightly, and the previous grudge disappeared.

Davos gently picked up Eunice, and the little man was looking at him curiously with big, bright blue eyes.

Hey, baby, I'm your dad. Davers said to her gently.

Ah... ah... Eunice yawned, tugging at Davos' face with her little hands.

Davos let her grab her hands, turned her head to Cristoia and said with a smile, Eunice's hands are quite strong!

At this moment, Cristoia looked at the father and daughter tenderly, and nodded lightly when she heard the words.

Dad, my strength is stronger than my sister! Little Chloe said unconvinced.

You're a big brother, of course you have a lot of strength. Davos smiled: Little Chloe, do you see how beautiful your sister is?

At this time, little Crow still didn't know what beauty was. He just nodded according to his father's meaning: Well, beautiful.

To be honest, the redness at birth has receded, and the wrinkled skin has been enriched and freed by ample milk. Eunice has a plump forehead, bright eyes, a small nose, rosy lips, and supple skin. ...a beautiful baby indeed.

Davos turned around and said to the children, Do you think little Eunice looks like Dad?

Cynthia shook her head: not like.

Seeing her sister say this, Adoris whispered, ...Not like that.

Sister is like mother. Little Chloe is the most direct.

Davos laughed and said, Fortunately, unlike me, like Cristoia, little Eunice will be a big beauty in the future!

Kristoia rolled his eyes at him and reached out: Give me the child, the first time you see her, hold her for too long, she should cry later.

Davers reluctantly handed Eunice to Cristoia, turned around and said to the children, Children, our family is more lively now, and you have an extra sister. And here— His His right hand rested lightly on Agnes' belly: Your mother Agnes will add a younger brother to you next year. As older brothers and sisters, you have to take good care of them, you know!
