Chapter 239 Legion Gathering

In fact, in daily tribal life, team officers are equivalent to the roles of village chiefs and village chiefs.

Since the soldiers have been accustomed to obeying the orders of the team officers in the army, they are also willing to accept the management of the team officers in daily life, so that the government orders from the political hall can be implemented smoothly at the grassroots level, so that the entire tribe can in Apple pie order.

However, captains mount their horses to manage the army and dismount their horses to manage the people. Even though only centurions and ten-capurions have this right, this system also has quite a few drawbacks. Of course Maximus, who is familiar with the history of his previous life, is well aware of this.

It's just that the tribe has just been established, the political system is primitive, there is a lack of manpower, and there are insufficient resources. Temporarily entrusting grassroots power to team officers can better ensure the efficient operation of tribal rule and the unity of the people, so he does not plan to do it in the short term. make changes.

Of course Casaridoa would not know Maximus's painstaking efforts. After the establishment of the Nyx tribe, he meticulously implemented the new appointments given to them by the political hall as team officers, even though it was more tiring than when he was a team officer in the army. It was a lot, but he was young, strong and positive, and he was happy with it.

After confirming that all the subordinates in nearby residences had brought their equipment, he asked them to gather in the playground first, and then he rushed to the outskirts of the stockade.

When the Nyx tribe was established, the soldiers of the First Legion were arranged to settle in Westney. Because it was adjacent to the Segostika territory, they did not expand outward like Snodia at first. Instead, some defense facilities were added. , due to the shortage of houses in the village, many single formal ethnic people are crowded into houses.

It wasn't until the armistice agreement was signed between Nix and Segostika that Westeny began to expand outwards. The Westeny Town Hall designated homesteads for each official ethnic minority who was single and had no house.

Although the tribe expressly stipulates that the engineering team must build houses for free for these single formal tribesmen who have contributed to the establishment of the tribe, most of the single formal tribesmen did not actively apply to the town hall to build houses, but first built houses in their own homes. Wooden poles were inserted around the ground as markers. Because of the cold winter, after building the house in a hurry, living alone felt lonely and cold.

Until spring came and the weather warmed up, whether it was Westney or Snodia, there was an immediate wave of housing construction, because every formal ethnic group had its own fields and harvested wheat in the summer, and no one had their own. Houses and courtyards, where to put the food.

It was not until the end of August that the two villages had basically solved the housing problem for all official ethnic residents. Because of this, Westeny has not had time to build a new wall.

After Casaridoa called these single subordinates, he had no intention of informing the only two reserve tribesmen left in the team, because the department responsible for managing the reserve tribesmen would take them to the playground en masse.

On the way to the military training field, a soldier couldn't help but said: "Captain, why can't we set off a few days later? I heard that the tribe will hold a harvest celebration the day after tomorrow, and then Chief Maximus will organize the plowing of the fields. The tribesmen who have achieved the best results and paid the most taxes will be rewarded, and a rugby competition for the entire tribe will be held. Each brigade of each legion, as well as the reserve tribesmen, can organize teams to register for the competition, and the top three teams will be awarded. You can also get rewards from the tribe——"

"There's more to the harvest celebration than just that!" Another soldier interjected: "I have a good friend in the Ministry of Commerce. He told me that Chief Maximus had sent Commercial Officer Pygris with some supplies a few days ago. Grains were given to the neighboring Aldi tribes that have friendly relations with us, and we also negotiated with them and reached an agreement that both parties can freely intermarry——"

"Is this true?!" the other soldiers asked anxiously in surprise.

"I asked my good friend the same thing at the time, and he swore to the gods in front of me, 'What he said is true. The tribe's announcement will be out in a few days.'"

The soldier first responded complacently, and then lowered his voice with a mysterious look on his face and said: "And he also told me that Chief Maximus is planning to hold a bonfire party for several nights after the harvest celebration meeting, and also Let Pygris tell the Ardei tribe that they are cordially inviting their people, both men and women, to attend——"

"Regardless of men and women..." Another soldier reacted first: "We have just reached an agreement on mutual marriage with the Aldiyi tribe, and then we invited the women from these tribes to come to our bonfire party. Isn't this a blind date? !”

"Yes, that's what my good friend told me." The soldier sighed and said regretfully: "I'm really unlucky. Because I was injured last year, I wasn't favored by a woman at a blind date. , seeing that there is another blind date meeting, I have to go out to fight, hey..."

A soldier immediately shouted: "This is unfair! Why are we not allowed to participate in such a good opportunity to find a wife! Brothers, we have to go to the political hall to protest and get the leader to agree that we can finish the bonfire party before leaving!"

Before several other people could follow suit, Casaridoa quickly shouted: "What are you talking about! How unfair is it! Do you know which legion was sent to help the Aldi people to fight? The Ministry of War and how many legions The captains argued for a long time and sent us. Wouldn’t the brothers from other legions feel it was unfair!

He wants to find a woman and gain military honors. How can such a good thing happen? If you really want to find a woman, I will help you find the captain and suggest that you be transferred to another legion, okay? ! "

"No, captain!" The soldier quickly shook his head: "I was just talking nonsense. I don't want to find a woman. I would rather win the battle, obtain more land, and become a noble of the tribe!"

"Well, when I first heard the news, I felt the same as you just now, but later I figured it out." The soldier who revealed the news said seriously: "Maybe the reason why the tribe held the bonfire party after we left is that In order to make the brothers in other legions feel more comfortable and not be jealous of us.

Anyway, the mutual marriage agreement between our tribe and those Ardi tribes has been signed. We can gain more military honors and land, and we will have many opportunities to attract better Ardi women to marry us in the future. "

"Aristis, you are right!" Several other soldiers became excited again.

"Stop talking nonsense, we have to hurry up, otherwise if we are late, we will get a military stick!" Casaridoa reminded in a deep voice.

The soldiers were nervous and hurried forward with Casaridoa.

When they and other ethnic groups poured into the playground of the Ministry of War, the first round of brass bugles happened to sound, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the playground was densely populated and noisy, the numbered military flags of the six brigades of the First Army were lined up and erected high. Casaridoa quickly found the location of the Centurion to which he belonged.

The remaining soldiers in the team, including the two reserve tribesmen, had already arrived. Casaridoa carefully checked the weapons, armor and marching supplies carried by the two reserve tribesmen, and found that they were no different from those of the others. Erzhi (the legion equipment of the reserve tribesmen were all provided by the tribe and came from the rebel soldiers who died in the previous battle), then they felt relieved and started to form the team.

At this time, Centurion Staggs came with two men: "Casaridoa, do you remember what I told you this morning?"

Casaridoa looked at the two young men behind him: "Captain, these two are the reserve tribesmen you want to transfer to my team?"

"That's right. Look, they are all relatively strong, and they are the first batch of preparatory tribesmen to join our tribe. They participated in the battle with the Segestika people, and also participated in the defensive battle of the temporary camp. He has a lot of combat experience.”

Staggs explained seriously: "Originally, they were in Proconsus' team. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many reserve tribesmen in that team, and Proconsus himself could not speak Illyrian well, the commander would It’s a little difficult to get up, and he’s not willing to separate the two.”

After hearing this, Casaridoa did not immediately agree. Instead, he directly asked the two preparatory tribesmen in Illyrian: "Have you two participated in the training of the legion?"

"Of course!" one of them responded first: "During the slack season in March and April this year, we would be brought here every one or two days, led by... Captain Proconsus or other soldiers in the squad. Keep training.”

"What have you been training for?" Casaridoa continued to ask.

"There are shield-holding training, wood-cutting training, combat training, as well as queue marching and charging..." Another reserve tribesman said loudly: "During the slack season in July, we also participated in the entire training for three consecutive days. During the training of the legion, I became familiar with the flags, orders, and various formations..."

After hearing this, Casaridoa felt relieved and said: "Captain, I listen to you and transfer these two people to my team."

"You kid, what do you say to listen to me? I think you almost have the word 'doubt' carved on your forehead! I promoted you with my own hands, and I will still harm you!" Staggs cursed several times. sentence, but there was no obvious anger on his face.

Casaridoa didn't respond, just touched his head and smiled.

"Okay, which two of your best men are you going to transfer to Proconsus' team?" Staggs asked.

Casaridoa still didn't speak, he just stretched out his hand and clicked twice towards the team.

Staggs saw clearly that the two people Casaridoa was referring to were both older than Casaridoa in the First Legion. Initially, Staggs was attracted by Casaridoa because of Casaridoa's military exploits and abilities. When Gus promoted him out of the norm, these two people were also the ones who opposed the most. Although they cooperated in normal training and combat after many reprimands from him, it was clear that the discord still existed.
