Rome Must Fall

When Gowes first joined the Knicks, he was a little restless. Later, he suffered several punishments and was affected by the environment and peers for a long time, and gradually followed the trend.

Although he always performed well in every military training of the reserve tribesmen, this did not improve his status in the army. He, like other reserve tribesmen, was still a recruit.

It's just that this recruit was not as nervous as most recruits, and he didn't pay much attention to the conversations of the veterans. His eyes were always fixed on the soldier sitting in front of him, and finally he couldn't help but give him a light kick.

The soldier turned around and saw it was Gowes, and immediately stared at him with hostility: "Gowes, do you want to fight me again?!"

"Boy, I'll tell you ugly things first!" Gowes stared back at him without showing any signs of weakness and warned in a low voice: "During the battle later, if you dare to retreat or make trouble in the team, I will never do it. Polite!"

Gowes said, shaking the dagger in his hand as a threat.

Pulisis, who had always quarreled with Gowes in military training, suddenly fell silent when faced with Gowes's provocation at this moment, because he was not only a reserve tribesman of the Nyx tribe, but also a former member of Segas. The Tika is a Panroni, but at this moment he is about to fight with his compatriots.

It was Maximus's proposal to disperse the more than 1,000 Segestika reserve people in the tribe into the first, second, and third legions. After discussions with the Ministry of War, it was implemented as early as half a year ago. The purpose is to allow them to integrate into the tribe faster so that they can play a greater role in the future development of the tribe.

Of course, the next main enemy of the Nyx tribe is the Pannoni. Will these Segestika preparatory people have problems in fighting the Pannoni?

Maximus and the Ministry of War were not too worried about this, because on average there were only four or five Segestikas in a hundred-man team. They were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, and they were scattered among various squads, and were surrounded by people and people. The Skodisci tribesmen they are hostile to, just like the Gowes, will stare at their former enemies. Even if they have other ideas during the battle, they are unlikely to cause any waves.

At this moment, Pulisis, like most of his companions, was still in a complicated mood even though he knew that there were no Segestika warriors among the enemies he faced next, and he did not want to pay attention to the noise of Gowes beside him.

At this time, a familiar voice came from the front: "Brothers, you have all seen that the Pannoni army has a large number of people, far more than us. Are you scared?!"

Pulisis raised his eyes and saw the centurion Tinibazus standing in front of the array with his waist crotched. His words immediately aroused a commotion: "Captain, are you kidding me? We haven't had any big battles in front of each other before." We won in the end against a large number of enemies. Even if more enemies come, we will not be afraid!"

"Not only are we not afraid, we are also very excited and happy because they have more troops than us, and we get more credit for defeating them!"

…

"Brothers!" Tinibazus pressed his hands down to signal the soldiers to quiet down, and shouted with a louder voice: "Two months ago, the First Legion took advantage. They participated in the Ardii battle against the Austrians. The Tariyat people won military honors in their battles, and some of them were promoted as a result. Now our Second Legion finally has the opportunity to go into battle and make meritorious deeds!

The legion commander just told us that the Ministry of War has rated this battle as the second level. If we are the first legion to win, every brother can get a fifth-level merit!

At that time, I will congratulate my brothers who are still preparing for the nation! After this battle, you will be directly promoted to second-class people, obtain a full 60 acres of land, own your own house, cultivate your own fields, feed your own cattle and sheep, marry a woman you like, and raise a bunch of children... …you will live a very prosperous life! "

The newly promulgated twenty-nobility system has made fundamental changes to the promotion of military merit. Instead of cutting off the enemy's ears to calculate military merit, general merit is divided into six levels:

The first-class merit is the great war that destroyed the country, the state, and the tribe. The commander who is responsible for commanding the army and winning the war can get the first-class merit, and the commanders of the regiments who have always participated in the war can get the second-class merit. The captain received third-class merit, the centurion received fourth-class merit, and the soldier received fifth-class merit;

The second-class merit is a key battle that affects the life and death of the tribe. The victorious commander will receive the second-class merit, the legion commander will receive the third-class merit, the captain the fourth-class merit, the centurion the fifth-class merit, and the soldier the sixth-class merit;

By analogy, the lower the importance of the battle, the lower the battle merit.

An ordinary soldier participating in an ordinary battle, even if he wins without fighting the enemy, can still obtain a sixth-class meritorious service. A sixth-class meritorious service can directly promote a reserve ethnic minority to an ordinary ethnic minority. However, if an ordinary ethnic minority wants to be promoted to a second-class ethnic minority, he needs three sixth-class meritorious skills. Of course, a fifth-class meritorious citizen can also make an ordinary ethnic minority. Successfully promoted.

For ordinary soldiers, fifth-level merit is almost the highest level they can obtain. Unless they are lucky enough to kill an important enemy general on the battlefield, leading to a quick victory, it is possible to obtain merit beyond the level.

However, it is completely impossible for legion commanders and captains to obtain fifth- and sixth-class merit. The high-level merit they obtain is necessary for promotion to knights and above. Fifth- and sixth-class merit are not included in the statistical scope at all, so soldiers After becoming knights, if they want to move up the ranks, they must become officers above a centurion.

Of course, the prerequisite for obtaining military merit is that the battle must be won, which requires both officers and soldiers to work together and try their best to win.

According to the new system of twenty knighthoods, if this upcoming battle, which has been rated as the second level by the Ministry of War, is won, ordinary soldiers should only be able to obtain sixth-level merit. Why did Tinibazus say that they can obtain it? What about fifth-class merit?

Because there are some special provisions in the new twenty-nobility system, for example, the soldiers who ascend first in the siege battle must be promoted to at least one level of merit, and the troops who gain the first chance of victory in the battle will also be promoted to one level of merit... ...This will encourage soldiers to fight bravely and avoid eating from a big pot.

At this moment, as soon as Tinibazus finished speaking, the Skodisci soldiers in the Centurion couldn't help but cheer. After experiencing hardships, they had never expected such a beautiful life, but now it is in front of their eyes. Reachable.

However, Gowes did not cheer like his companions, because he was always thinking about the compatriots who were still suffering in the territory of Segestica.

Although he knew that his promotion was to win by killing his compatriots, Pulisis was still a little moved, because he knew that the good prospects described by Tinybazus were not verbal boasts, but what he saw every day. Because this is how the Knicks people live.

Thinking about the years he lived in the Segostika tribe, he owned less than thirty acres of land and worked hard every year. Although he had some harvest, the nobles were in charge of it and had to levy taxes every autumn. Some food. Later, when the tribe went on war every year, more and more food was levied, and the remaining grain was only enough to make ends meet. For this reason, a few tribesmen refused to turn over any more, and were eventually expelled from the tribe...

In comparison, the Nix people were much happier. They turned in less and left more. Moreover, the tribe not only built some agricultural facilities for them that could promote harvests, but also taught them how to cultivate and harvest better. More food... Thinking of this, Pulisis' mood became very uneasy.

Tinybazus didn't pay attention to the strange expressions of the Segestica soldiers in the team. He continued to shout: "Brothers of the formal people, you are either second-class people or first-class people. This battle is won. After that, second-class people who already have some merit can be promoted to second-class people with a fifth-class merit, and get another twenty acres of land, which can grow more food and feed more livestock.

If the first-class people want to be promoted again, the credit is not enough, but the leader said that this battle is not only important, but there are far more enemies than us, and the battle situation is very serious, so he decided to offer an additional reward!

If the hundred-man team is the first to break through the enemy's formation or defeat the enemy first, they will each receive a third-class merit. Each of you will receive a fourth-class merit, which is enough to promote everyone to the first level. Some people You can also upgrade several levels in a row! "

Having said this, Tinibazus pointed to the foot of the hill and shouted with great enthusiasm: "Brothers, to us, these Pannonians are land and wealth. No matter how many of them there are, they will only Give us more credit! Next, let us fight bravely, defeat them, and then promote our level and strive to become the nobles of the tribe one day!"

The soldiers cheered and were all extremely excited.

The same is true for other centurions, because the centurions all received the same instructions from the legion commander and used similar words to inspire the soldiers.

The long formation of the Nix army was filled with cheers.

"Look, the leader's method is really good. Now everyone's morale is very high!" Tilius, the young attendant who followed Maximus, couldn't help but admired when he saw this situation.

Tilius was also one of the children of the Lukelia veterans who originally joined the Maximus Rebellion.

"Of course, because they all want to advance through meritorious service." The attendant Malclus responded.

"But..." Another attendant, Frisalus, a young slave from Campania, was a little confused: "When I was taking notes at the political hall meeting, I heard Master Volenus say that our tribe still has There is not much land left, but after this battle is won, nearly 10,000 reserve tribesmen will be promoted, and more than 500,000 acres of land will be allocated to them. How can the tribe have so much land now? Give them the land!”
