Chapter 309 - 190: Military Equipment, Official Rank, and City Lord
Flanitnus looked at Quintus and replied, "We have discussed over the past few days and decided to set the tribe’s military training in the two agricultural slack months of May and October every year. The Legion Commander in each settlement will gather tribesmen aged 18 to 40 for military training, focusing on drills, formation changes, overall attack and defense, and familiarizing themselves with various flag signals...
As for individual combat skills training, it mainly relies on their own practice at ordinary times. Now, due to the promulgation of the Twenty Peerage System of the tribe, tribesmen have a strong desire to fight in order to be promoted more quickly, and they all consciously intensify their practice without the need for team officers to urge them.
Therefore, we hope to build a training ground affiliated with the Military Department in each of the two settlements. The training grounds will have various training equipment and be staffed with several instructors to facilitate personal training for tribal members and provide guidance..."
"Your military training plan aligns with the actual situation and can be implemented. In the future, all male tribesmen aged 18 to 40 in the Nix Tribe must participate in annual military training on time and be ready to be conscripted for warfare by the tribe. If anyone dares to violate this, they will be punished lightly or expelled from the tribe or face the death penalty. This must be written into the tribe’s military service decree and communicated to all tribesmen!"
Sidonius acknowledged understandingly, "Alright."
"Capito, when your Public Works Department is expanding the settlements, consider the training grounds mentioned by Flanitnus. Discuss with the Military Department the specifics of how to construct the training grounds."
"Yes."
"How does the army maintain security within the settlements daily? Does the Military Department have a plan?" Maximus asked again.
"Snowdonia has the First Legion and the Guard Battalion, Westeni has the Second and Third Legions. Each day, a Centurion is assigned to be responsible for lookout on the wooden walls, inspecting people entering and leaving the settlement gates, and patrolling the settlement for security. At night, another Centurion takes over, standing guard and keeping watch for the settlement..."
"You’ve considered this comprehensively, so let’s implement it as discussed."
"Leader, I have a question," Quintus interjected, "Our original team has fought side by side for more than a year, and we have good relations with each other, so it’s unlikely that any disputes or conflicts will occur. But now, quite a few Skodisqi people and some Pannonian people are joining the tribe. If they get into conflicts and are caught by the patrol team, to whom should they be handed over?"
"Naturally, they should be handed over to the Legal Department. The court formed by the Legal Department will conduct trials according to the decree and impose penalties."
"Leader, currently there is no court or prison in the settlement, and our Legal Department cannot conduct trials and penalties." Sidonius started to complain.
