Chapter 27 Collar
Davers and his group returned to Menon's camp. The soldiers had long been looking forward to it and eagerly welcomed them into the camp, and then asked about the situation.
"Clilkus, Menon and others have been killed by the Persians. The Persians want us to surrender, but were rejected by the team officials. Our war with the Persians is inevitable!" Antonios deliberately exaggerated the situation.
The soldiers were in an uproar. Although they had received notification from Hilos and the others before and were prepared, they still had a trace of peace. Now, the final fantasy was shattered. They were panicked, confused, and at a loss.
"Now, we must immediately select a new leader, replace Menon, and lead us back to Greece!" Phelis shouted loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, Antonios' nephew, the young man who was saved by Davers, raised his right hand in the crowd and couldn't wait to shout: "Brothers, who preached the death of Cyrus?!"
"...It's Davers." Hilos and the others took the lead in responding.
"Who invented the bacon sausage that prevents us from starving?!" Yassitus continued.
"It's Davers." The soldiers responded.
"Who created the medical camp so that we no longer worry about injuries?!"
"Davers!" the soldiers began to answer in unison.
"Who previewed that today's talks with the Persians were a conspiracy and tried to stop Menon and the others?!"
"Davers!!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
"Who is the Godly Reverend of Hades?! Who can protect us from returning to Greece?!"
"Davers!!!" the soldiers shouted in unison.
"Who-" Yassus pointed at Davers and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Is our new leader?!!"
"Davers! Davers!! Davers!!!..." The soldiers in the entire military camp shouted excitedly, for a long time.
Phelisius and the squadron leader suddenly faced such a scene, and they were at a loss and looked at Davers together. Davers looked surprised and seemed to know nothing about it, but his eyes quietly glanced at Matonis, Giogris and others who were dancing in the crowd. He did not expect that the one who led the soldiers would be Asistes, but the effect was obviously beyond his expectations.
The soldiers' shouts were getting louder and louder, and the team officials had to respond. After an urgent consultation, Philicius walked out. He looked at Davers next to him with a complicated expression, and then shouted to the gathering soldiers: "Brothers, are you sure you want to choose Davers as your new leader?!"
"Yes!!!" the soldiers shouted in unison under the leadership of Ascesters.
"Are there any other candidates?!"
"No!!"
"We need guidance from God's favored people!!"
Phelisius turned around, Antonios, Capps nodded, and then Amintas, Alexis... and other squadron captains nodded helplessly.
Phelis shouted with a solemn expression: "Testimated by the gods, recommended by the soldiers and agreed by the team officials, Davers will become our new leader!"
Cheers sounded.
Davers let go of his clenched fists, his palms were already sweating. He breathed a sigh of relief and was extremely excited: the hard work and hard work during this period was not in vain! He, a time traveler, an ordinary young soldier, directly crossed the ranks of the squad leader, the squadron leader, and the leader, and became the leader of more than a thousand soldiers. Although he was just a mercenary, his dream was finally realized in a short time, from a chess piece to a chess player. Of course, this also means that the responsibility he will bear is heavy, but compared to being cannon fodder to die, what is the greatest responsibility to be afraid of!
Facing the excited faces, he raised his right arm high.
………………………………
Compared with other military camps, the Menon military camp suffered the least losses. Due to everyone's discooperation, only three team officials followed Menon to the Persian military camp, and the soldiers quickly selected the successor.
Next, the soldiers retreated, and the new leader Davers and the squadron leader held the first meeting in the tent. Philicius was only attached to Menon's adjutant and had no military power. The new leader took office and his position was naturally removed, so he could only stay outside.
Davers looked at the thirteen squadron leaders, including those he was familiar with, such as Antonios, Capps, etc., and more unfamiliar... The squadron leaders also looked at the young and overly young new leader. Some were expecting, some were just curious, and some simply ignored them and spoke to themselves...
It was not that I had never been the top leader in my previous life. Davers was completely untimid. He faced their gaze with a serious expression and remained silent for a long time, which made the tent gradually quiet from the noise at the beginning. The invisible pressure emitted by this young man in silence made the squadron leader start to face him.
At this time, he spoke slowly: "Thank you for your trust in me! Thank you for your support for me! I will use my own actions to prove that your choice is correct!"
This young new leader was not humble at all! Alexis and others opened their mouths in surprise. Antonios and Capps were infected by his confidence and smiled.
"Now, I decided to let Philicius continue as an adjutant and assist me in the military affairs." This proposal temporarily relieved several squadron leaders who were worried that Davers was inexperienced and messed up.
Phelisius was invited in, and he smiled and expressed his gratitude to Davers, then sat next to Davers.
"I decided to set up a medical camp with Helps as the medical officer. He must attend when there are important meetings!" The battlefield hospital in Menon Military Camp has been operating independently, and now it is only officially put on the table.
Amintas raised an objection: "It is enough that the doctor can heal the brothers' injuries. They don't understand what military meetings they attend, and they have never had such a thing before!"
"It's a special period!" Davers looked at the strong man with a strong body with a vicious appearance and said in a stressful tone: "In the next trip, we may encounter a lot of battles. We must protect our medical battalion. At the same time, we also need to know how many wounded soldiers the medical battalion can treat us? Is labor shortage? Is medical supplies shortage?... These all need to be discussed with Helps!"
Amintas was stunned, scratched his head, and stopped talking. No one wanted to let his injured soldiers not be treated, and Davers's proposal was easily passed.
"I hope that Mercis of the Basin will also attend the military meeting. Because we need to know at all times whether the food is sufficient? Is the pack beasts enough?..." Davers' second proposal was accepted by everyone again. After all, food is the most concerned issue for everyone, and the baggage camp also has their salaries and robbed money, so of course we need to be understood and protected at all times.
After successfully passing three personnel appointments in succession, Davers stopped the proposal.
At this time, Phelisius beside him touched Davers and opened his mouth to him.
Davers suddenly realized from the other party's mouth: he had forgotten a key position - the commander. Don't underestimate this position. If you upload and issue it, you have to rely on him to smooth military and government orders. If you don't make any decisions in front of everyone, you will easily make mistakes at that time. You are still lacking in experience!
Davers thought for a moment and said calmly: "In addition, I appointed Asistes as the messenger!" Not only to repay the recommendation just now, but Asistes had been assisting his uncle Antonios in doing some trivial military affairs before, and was also familiar with Menon's military camp. Besides, Davers had come into contact with this young man many times, he was cheerful and full of vitality, and the team officials all had a good impression of him. Moreover, he was full of gratitude to Davers, so he didn't need anyone he could use!
Sure enough, this candidate was successfully recognized by everyone.
Antonios went out and called Ascesters.
After Asisters excitedly expressed his gratitude to everyone, he immediately began to fulfill his duties. He quickly called Helps and Mercis.
