Previously, he didn’t felt it obvious while he was in the squad, but now he found the proble at the whole situation as the leaderIn his previous life, although he wasn’t a soldier, but he saw movies and visited forums and knew that one of the foundations for an army to win battles was strict discipline and quickin universities, when they setup eency assembly they calculate it by minutesNow, it took more than an hour from when the horn sound till they queue, and their sloppiness doused half of his excitement as a new leader

He can only quietly observe and record all their shortcoe in the mercenary troops, he then need to think about a solution and wait until the ti thetime

When nearly half of the troops has left the camp, Philesius then said, “Leader Davos, we should also leave”

Davos nodded and Hielos had already brought his horseYesterday, Davos was nervous when he learned that the leader has to ride a horse, since he didn’t kno to ride a horse in his previous lifeBut who knew that he was able to freely control the horse after he hadraces in the Mediterranean world at this tirazed sheep and horses froe, and with his reh for Davos to freely control his horse

The Spartan troops of Cheirisophus had already stood in frontWhen Davos rode over to greet him, there was a small conized him as the leader who made a wonderful speech yesterday, but there were still so man who is still wet behind the earsJealousy, dissatisfaction, and bad words that questioned his coer

Only the troops of Cheirisophus was quiet as if they didn’t see hi, which made Davos seriously look at these real Spartan warriorsThey are dressed in a coe in a neat square for quietly, like a tall and straight pine, becoht in this noisy asselare and that a powerful force would be unleashed once this silence breaks out! Body, skill, tactics, and discipline are all in one, this are the Spartan warriors!

Davos looked at them enviously, ‘When can I command such an elite soldiers!’ He later learned that only about a third of Cheirisophus’ troops were genuine Spartans, the rest were Perioikoi

On both sides of the Spartan troops were the small mercenaries such as Sossis and PasionAfter the whole mercenary assembly, most of them joined the troops of Cheirisophus, while several other leaders also joined the other camps, and the only one they were not interested was the camp of DavosDavos felt helpless about it

This time, the troops of Davos was fast in their formation because they basically adhered by the order when leaving the camp, the outermost part was the hoplite column, which was divided into four colue towards the rear in turnThe innermost part was the Peltast, divided into two coluth as the hoplite coluWhen the ene, the soldiers in the advancing coluht at once, with the hoplite at the front and the peltast at the rear, which will quickly forular coe open space on the left side of the peltastDavos and his guards were between the peltast and the supply unit

About half an hour later, when the troops co out once more, and they can finally depart

The speed of their march wasn’t fast, it was mainly due to the supply unit with the tents, food, oods, and the other materials that could not be carried by people were carried by horses and cattleThe horses couldn’t pull wagons that are too heavy, otherwise the harness will squeeze their neck and trachea, which will lead to suffocation, and even though the cattle are stronger than horses, they have poor stamina and bad temper

Davos saw Mersis, as in the supply unit, shuttling back and forth, dealing with unexpected situations, and from time to time call out the soldiers to helpDavos secretly thanked hi him a unit in advance in order to assist hiaze fell on one of the woh she was dressed the sa a flock of chickens, which nized
