Chapter 57 (2/2)

”Yes!” Davos turned around and his eyes shi+ne with exciteood opportunity! An opportunity for us to change from a fish in the water to a fisherround, excited and curious in his mind You must know that he has never participated in any decision- discussion in the camp since he served as a squad leader This tiently infor Will there be a huge decision?

He looked around and saw that not far away, Olivos was talking and laughing loudly with others This kid is now also a squad leader, equal to his position, and he will be upset every time he see him,and so he shouted, ”Olivos, here is a war council and not your tent, so be quiet!”

Olivos turned around and smiled, ”It turned out to be the brave Matonis Did you punish those 2 soldiers who violated the military rules and robbed the Byzantiury froain

Since entering Armenia, Davos has been the leader of the nized by the officers and soldiers, but also conquered their hearts Therefore, he began to gradually rectify and refor the journey in Arines, and there were not a few casualties, including the officers What's more, Armenia and the later area such as Phasian and Tubal were er troops not easy to spread out Therefore, according to the actual situation, Davos ed the troops of 1,400 men into 7 units of 200 men and a unit had 4 platoons of 50convenient, but alsoin the th to repel a sroup of enemies, while another has the ability to undertake independent combast tasks, and because it has 4 platoons It can use 2 platoons to fight head-on and another platoon to detour and flank, and then have 1 platoon to be ready(reserve) and so on

After this reorganizing, the coreatly improved, and even some soldiers are proud to say this in private, ”Our Davos is not only favored by Hades, but also enlightened by Athena!”

While some of the officers were killed and wounded, Davos had then promoted his capable trusted subordinates For example, Hielos had been proris, and others have beco hian to carry out the second step of his refor a 《Military Law》, and strictly retrain the soldiers For the free and loosethem, but at that time, the situation was special A considerable part of the conflict with the aborigines was caused by the soldier's wanton plundering Therefore, the best way to reduce the conflict was to regulate e the ulations in theFor example, Davos was previously surprised by the si their camps, and sometimes there is no protection at all, so he stipulated that when ca trenches, lay an abatis(field fortification), and build earthen wall

At first, the soldiers were not willing to carry it out, since they were very tired after , and now they need to do such hard work, even if they are tired or not! However, when the ht, the other cae defeat and the soldiers had suffered casualties Only Davos' troops were safe under the protection of the trenches and walls It was only then did the soldiers began to accept this rule froulations in various aspects and didn't dare to be too strict For exa away in battle is considered a heavy offense worth beheading since ancient tiht revolt Therefore, he only applied so, and so on for the Greeks who value honor, it's a shaet spanked in front of their comrades And so unless it's a special case, they will try their best to abide by the rules

Of course, there are many soldiers who couldn't stand the restrain and ran to the other camps In addition to the dead and wounded soldiers, the nureatly reduced You must know that when the whole Greek mercenaries returned to Byzantiuinal 13,000(soldiers only) to 9000(half reat role) However, the number of soldiers under his command is not much different from when he took over, and have about 1,4000 soldiers

There are 4 reasons why the nued his troops as fair and just as possible, no matter whether they are officers or ordinary soldiers, they were all treated equally and without ht and plundered, the goods they got were distributed to the soldiers according to theirSecond, his troops have the strongest combat effectiveness and have the least casualties, specially after the o ho dependence on him Third, the medical camp he built treated a lot of wounded soldiers, and half of theuidance of Cheiristoya played a great role Fourth, the charisenius made him quite mysterious, and he is kind to the soldiers and even use his horses to carry the wounded many times…the soldiers were happy to accept his command and affectionately call him ”our Davos”

Now, Davos had led his mercenary troops in many battles for half a year, and under this special environun to adapt to the military law that seems relatively simple to Davos, but these military laws are already strict for these soldiers Therefore, Matonis knew that his soldiers had violated the rule made by Davos before they came to Byzantium, and they are bound to be punished, but it is hard for him to accept this and so tried to shi+eld this pair But at this time, he had no time to think too much, because Davos had opened the tent, and stepped into the i
