Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

His question raised Gurney's head and raised the interest of other leaders in the cabin.

Dionysians!At the moment, when Gaelny heard the name, he felt a sense of hatred in his heart. He tried to make himself recall the situation at that time: "...their soldiers are mostly heavy infantry, but their heavy infantry is the same as ours before. The Greek heavy infantry I saw were not the same...their helmets were very similar to ours, and they were not holding round copper shields, but long shields similar to ours..."

"Ah?!" The leaders of Samone were surprised.

"It is especially important to note that their heavy infantry is the same as our heavy infantry...you can throw javelins!" Guerney recalled the scene of his pain.

The leaders were upset: "When did the Greeks begin to learn our tactics?"

"Dionysians have never been in contact with us. How can we learn our tactics?"

...

When the chiefs were talking about each other, Veroni asked with concern: "So are the heavy infantry of Dionysia the same as our heavy infantry?"

"Not the same. Their breastplates are more tightly protected, covering their arms, chest, back, crotch and thighs, and shinplates on their calves..."

"That means that when throwing a javelin face-to-face, we will suffer." Captain Chief Lutheny said worriedly.

"We just have a long shield, and even thick armor will be injured if thrown by a javelin. On the contrary, Dionia's heavy infantry equipment is too heavy, which is not conducive to the operation in the mountains," the leader of Beneventum, Lesgu Ke didn't care much about it.

"Leskok leader is right!" said Quinduk, who is responsible for leading the soldiers of Kautini to the battle this time. "We have had many battles with the Greeks in Campania. Their heavy infantry appeared heavy in the mountains and had difficulty walking. They couldn’t catch up with us at all. On the contrary, they were not flexible enough to avoid us by bypassing the javelins they threw behind them, and we would never easily meet the Greeks on the plains Combat."

"The leader Quinn Duke said that we had decades of experience dealing with the heavy infantry of Greece. The mountains are the world of our Samone, and the Dionysians dare to come in, so we can never let them out! "Lutheny motivated loudly."

"That's right! Kill the Dionysians! Let them know the power of our Samonais!" Many leaders followed suit.

"But... The Dionysians are not just heavy infantry." Galney had to remind these overconfident leaders: "They also have archers, javelins without armor and shields, and a kind of Light infantry armed with small shields and short swords, they are also walking very fast in the mountains, I guess they may be Lucanians... and we should pay more attention to whether the Dionysian army is heavy Infantry, archers, javelinmen, and light infantry, the cooperation between them is quite tacit, obviously after a long period of training, it is obviously different from the temporarily recruited Greek city-state civic soldiers in Campania ..."

After Garni finished speaking, the leaders were in deep contemplation.

At this time, Veroni pondered and said: "The Dionysians arrived at Potentia so quickly, then this force must not be the main force from Turui, and the number will certainly not be too much. Since they have the courage Dare to come, then we will let them taste the power of the Samoan warrior!"

His words inspired the leaders.

"Quinduk, you lead 7,000 Cavutini fighters to stay in the camp, and the other leaders lead all your fighters with me to attack the attacking Dionysians."

"Big Chief, do you mean all the Hippini warriors?" Lesguk asked in surprise.

"Yes, 25,000 Hippini warriors!" Veroni said clearly.

"Is it too much?"

"I think it's too short. If Tolek wasn't taking his 18,000 Pentene fighters to attack Poseidonia, I would ask his Pentene army to go with us." Veroni Said boldly: "This time, I will eat this Dionysian force who dares to enter Potentia alone!"

"What if the Lukanians in Potentia are suddenly killed?" Lutheny asked, worried.

"I'm worried they don't dare to come out." | Quinduk looked at Veroni and smiled.

Veroni nodded and said, "The warriors in Potentia are no more than ten thousand people, if they dare to come out-hum, Quinn Duke, you don't have to rush back them, but to haunt them, I Will lead the army back as soon as possible, strike you back and forth, annihilate them!"

"Understood." Quinn Duke's eyes shone coldly.

"Philisius, I'm looking forward to seeing you back." Daveus greeted the living room happily, holding Phylius's hands, and said with a smile: "I heard you did a good job at Cosenza, those The leaders of the Bruti tribe and the herdsmen line up in front of your mansion every day. I want to see you... Haha, I have been a chief executive for more than a year, I can’t bear to unload it!"

"Sir, don't make fun of me. Next time, no matter how you persuade me, I don't want to be the chief executive of the Bruti area." Felixius smiled and shook his head: "The people there don't believe it at all. Judge, no matter how big the dispute is, I come to the Chief Executive. Without the full assistance of Hegsitus (former chief of the Silun tribe), I feel that I will not stay in Cosenza for three months at all."

"But you have been in Cosenza for more than a year, and several investigations by the Public Administration Committee of the Senate think you are doing very well in Cosenza. I believe that you will be the chief executive of other cities for you. It's very easy." Daveus praised him with a smile: "Go, let's go in and talk."

The two sides settled down, and the slaves provided slurry.

Felicius did not bother to drink, and immediately said to Daveus: "Sir, this time you proposed that I serve as the commander of southern Dionysia and command the 4th and 5th Corps. This is no problem. But it is to serve as the entire South. The commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces of the Italian Alliance, I feel that it is too difficult to command the operations of the Allied Forces! Can the big city-states like Crotone and Lijim willingly listen to me?"

After listening to Daphes, he persuaded seriously: "Philipsy, this task is indeed a little trouble. But even if it is trouble, you have to do your best to do it, and do your best to do it! You have to know, although The agreement of the South Italian Alliance said, "Every city state is equal, regardless of its size." But all the confederates understand that, in fact, we Dionysia is the leader of this alliance, we are not the commander of the coalition, we do not Responsible for the organization, not responsible for the command, and which city-state dare to serve as this leader! So don’t worry about the bold management and command of the coalition forces! And I have written to the parliament of Crotone, Li Jim, etc. The letter asked them to cooperate actively, and the messenger has been sent. At the same time, the Senate also arranged for Ansitas to be your diplomatic liaison officer, responsible for coordinating matters with various city-states."

"It's great!" Felius had a deep heart, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot, but he continued: "Sir, you asked us to set up defenses in Kaulonia and Trina, but now Thira Cuzha did not declare war, will Kaurnia and Trina allow us to arrange camps on their land in advance? And if Syracuse declares war, the army will quickly land in Lockley, but our coalition comes from various city-states It’s very time-consuming to gather together, not to mention rushing to Kaurnia and Trina to build camps. If the camps haven’t been built yet, Siracusa’s army has already breached Kaurenia. do?"

"This is indeed a problem. After the war, there will be many unexpected factors, and no one can make an accurate prediction." Daveus tapped the armrest with his finger, thinking for a long time, and finally said: "You try to follow the original plan To do it, if things don’t work, we must try our best to preserve our strength and not fight blindly. But there is a bottom line, you must keep in mind!"

Daveus pointed his finger heavily on the table, and said firmly: "Guard Knapetia and Asprostum, and help the Crotonians to guard the city of Crotone! As long as this line of defense Without losing it, we can keep the enemy out of the territory and accumulate strength to wait for a counterattack!"

"Well, my lord, I will hold the southern territory and wait for you to come back!" Felixius promised, but he asked again: "In case the Syracuses bypassed Crotone with their fleet, in What should we do if we land behind?"

Felix's forward look and disappointment made Daeves a little disappointed. He said impatiently: "It is not so easy to land tens of thousands of soldiers on our land. We don't have two new legions. And this is not The issue you should be concerned about is that of Seckrian."

………………………………

"Secrian, once the war between Dionia and Syracuse erupts, what preparations can your navy have?" Daveus asked solemnly.

Seckrian said very confidently: "Adult, we hope to first gather all the warships of the Allies and let us direct our command...Since Lijim took the initiative to hand over 35 three-layer paddle warships to our navy, Kaulen Niah and Trina have also merged their fleets. Siliting has already agreed, and has not yet been put into action. Only Crotone is still hesitating, but I think they will agree soon... At that time, Dionia had a powerful fleet of nearly 200 large and small warships. I will install the three-layer plasma warships with "crows..."
