"Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Real Soldier"

A man who sits on a blanket and is trapped under a silk quilt will never become famous, and his life in silence is like smoke in the air and bubbles on the surface of the water, and his traces on the earth will be wiped out in an instant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

- Alighelli Dante (Italian poet, one of the pioneers of the European Renaissance)

After solemnly announcing the formation of the Governor's Guard, the 1,500 soldiers who were stimulated by Bai Feng's declaration showed their high-spirited fighting spirit with their own shouts, and the deafening shouts slowly stopped under Bai Feng's gesture of raising his hand.

When the barracks returned to its original silence again, Bai Feng, who had cleaned up his excited mood, then announced:

"After the establishment of the Doge's Guard, there will be a general and two commanders, of which Wendell will be the infantry commander who is responsible for commanding 1,000 soldiers, Simpson will be the cavalry commander who is responsible for 500 cavalry, and Antio will be the general who will command the entire Governor's Guard.

Moreover, unless I personally order an increase in the size of the Doge's Guard, the Doge's Guard will not be easily increased by one, and the best soldiers will be selected from other legions to be added to the Doge's Guard only when the soldiers of the Doge's Guard are killed in battle.

From this day forward, the Doge's Guard is the most special and elite army in the city of Rome, and each of you soldiers of the Doge's Guard may receive a monthly salary of one gold coin, or again, this is not a salary for you, but a compensation for your family.

As one of the most elite troops, I hope that you will be an example to all the armies of the whole city of Rome, training diligently in the barracks and fighting to the death on the battlefield, you will not only become real men, but also real soldiers!

Each and every one of you should be endowed with loyalty and obedience, a sense of responsibility, mission and glory must be in your blood at all times, loyalty to the leader, love for your fellow citizens, care for your family, and concern for your lover are all essential qualities!

You must demand perfection and demand from yourselves, always be firm in your faith and preparation, take responsibility and glory above life, never betray or compromise, and never forgive others or the mistakes you will make!

You must always believe that a man's life is to fulfill his promises, to defend his faith, to be faithful to his duty. And the warriors of all your Doge's Guard are the strongest, bravest, and most loyal of all men!

There was once a soldier who was loyal to me wrote in his last words before he was about to die in battle: 'Tell the leader that I have done my best, and tell my father that I still love him.' 'I hope the last words of this warrior will be the motivation for all of you to move forward!'

In the end, Bai Feng, who still couldn't control his emotions, excitedly said all the hopes in his heart for the Governor's Guard, and all the soldiers present straightened their waists with red eyes, and held their heads high in front of Bai Feng.

Everything Bai Feng said just now made the hearts of these 1,500 soldiers stir, especially the sentence 'Tell the leader that I have done my best, and tell my father that I still love him.' It reminded all the warriors of their old father in their own family.

Now that the city of Rome has paid up to one gold coin per month to support their families, what reason do they have not to serve Bai Feng and the city of Rome to the death? The loyalty of the soldiers of the Doge's Guard to Bai Feng has reached a new level at this moment.

At this point, the army building ceremony of the soldiers of the Governor's Guard has not yet been completed, and the last and most important oath has not officially begun; when forming other legions, considering the emotions of those barbarian warriors, Bai Feng has never engaged in these ceremonial things.

But this time it was different, the newly formed Doge's Guard would be the most elite presence in the city of Rome, and the first newly formed army after the right time (the Mobile Force and the Eagle Legion were too special), and their founding ceremony was a must!

The whole army swore an oath, then there was no need for Bai Feng to say anything, and Antio, with a solemn face, came to the opposite side of Bai Feng with a full cloth, he stood in front of the 1,500 soldiers of the Governor's Guard, raised his right hand towards Bai Feng, and swore in unison with the soldiers behind him:

"In the name of the gods, I swear by a solemn and sacred oath that I will unconditionally obey the orders of the governor of Rome, Bai Feng, to fight against any enemy, and as a brave warrior, I am always ready to give my life for the sake of the oath!"

When these short and powerful oaths were shouted by the soldiers present in a solemn and sacred tone, Bai Feng knew that the army in front of him had become his most loyal followers, no less than the army recruited by the city of Rome.

At this point, the founding ceremony of the Governor's Guard is completely over, and there is no need for Bai Feng to continue to stay in the barracks, Antio will also lead the soldiers of the Governor's Guard to train hard under the scorching sun, they will become the role models of all other legions!

"The Doge's Guard is advancing in enemy territory

Singing the devil's song

Archers stand on the banks of the Cangluo River

Humming this softly

It doesn't matter to us

All over the world

Curse us, praise us

It's just an after-show

No matter where we are, we move forward

And, without any worries, laugh out loud

Hahahaha

We fought for the city of Rome

We fought for the White Peak

We don't sleep

We've been through a lot of battles

To the north, to the south, to the west, to the east

And now in order to prepare for new battles

Face the rats of the enemy army

The Doge's Guard will not stop

Until those who ruined the happiness of the city of Rome were destroyed

Until our queue is in ashes

Until then, we will have no way back."

Listening to the tragic and majestic loud military song in the military camp behind him, Bai Feng's heart seemed to be touched to a soft part, and he stopped his steps to leave the military camp until he finished listening to this military song.

After the matter of the Doge's Guard is dealt with, there is still a problem that needs to be solved in the Roman City in terms of the army, that is, the problem of the military account that Bai Feng officially decided to solve at the last award ceremony, and it is impossible to really let the army of the Roman City use colorful military uniforms all the time.

When Eggers returned all the grain to the Acenian camp on the east bank of the Cangluo River, he would join Rome with more than 17,000 Aceni warriors in green uniforms, 10,000 of whom would form the Eagle Legion of Rome.

At that time, the five legion-level troops in Rome would actually be wearing uniforms of different colors: the black uniforms of the First Legion, the gray uniforms of the Cheetah Legion and the Tiger Legion, and the green uniforms of the Eagle Legion and the Mobile Units.

If we don't make any more adjustments to our uniforms, if the city of Rome conquers the barbarian tribes that use yellow, blue, and red uniforms, and their warriors wear their own uniforms to join the city, then the army of Rome will not become a dyeing house!

This phenomenon of uniforms, which is not conducive to the unity of the army of Rome, must be changed, and all the armies belonging to the city of Rome should wear uniforms of the same color, otherwise how can the various armies of Rome really become like a family?
