"Having such morale immediately after assembly is impressive," Admiral Zio said as he rode past the formation, speaking to Major General Antonio.
It had been ten years since the Third Legion had been at full strength.
This was also the first time that "Da Weineta" had fully assembled with all its equipment, standing in formation to be inspected by Admiral Zio and Major General Antonio.
A chief infantry battalion and nine infantry battalions, totaling over five thousand infantrymen, and two cavalry battalions with over six hundred cavalry—this was the entire fighting force of the Third Legion.
Among them, aside from the five infantry battalions consisting of temporarily conscripted reservists, the rest of the soldiers were all members of the Standing Army, drilled daily.
There was no artillery, as it would greatly slow down the marching speed, so the Venetian Republic's auxiliary artillery units were formed into separate troops.
