Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"One...Opol." Ellms gestured and said in blunt Greek.

The young man took a drachma out of the carrying bag and threw it to Ellems, then crouched down and picked up a wooden barrel, which was made by hollowing out, polishing, and painting the thick trunk of the fist The humble wooden cup is full of milky white slurry, which is in his hand, heavy.The young people did not dislike its simplicity, first took a sip, and after tasting, the face was amazed: "It tastes very good. You mixed goat milk and grape juice in the pulp water. You should also add honey, but this goat milk There is no smell, how did you do it?"

The young man who spoke was Adores, the adopted son of King Dave of Dionysia, who had reached the age of 18 and participated in this war against Dawney for the first time as a legionnaire.Although he is not interested in cooking together, but at home year-round tasting food, more or less in this regard.

Ellms pretended not to understand, and looked down for change.

Adolius did not ask any more, and took out a drachma and threw it to him: "Don't look for it again, give me ten glasses of pulp water." He looked around and said, "The brothers are training hard, I Treat yourself, drink some pulp to quench your thirst."

His teammates immediately cheered: "Thank you Adores! Generous Adores..."

Erams and his wife hurriedly filled each wooden cup with water, and handed it to the hungry soldiers.

"I said prince, don't just ask your teammates to drink slurry water, and us! We are also thirsty!" a soldier shouted not far from the market entrance.

prince?!Elems looked at the youth in front of him curiously. In his memory, the title of "prince" was Vadalka, son of Premetti's former king Tremoni.Due to the death of Tremoni in the battle of Brindisi, the tribal fighters under his direct control were almost lost. As a result, after the war, the power of the royal family was greatly damaged, and there was chaos in Puchti. The name "," because he could not be supported by any big tribe, could not become a new king.After the invasion of the Dionysians, Vadarka took his family to a boat and fled to Epirus across the Adriatic.

The young man in front of him was tall and burly, with big eyes and thick eyebrows, but the childishness on his face concealed his mighty power, and Elems did not know whether the name "Prince" was true or false.

Adonis turned around and scolded: "Amphias, you shout again, do you believe it or not, I let you not drink water today!"

The soldier was not afraid, he responded with a grin: "As long as you treat guests, I will not shout."

Adolius glared at him, but he couldn't help him.After the Southern Italian War, Dionysia almost completely occupied Greater Greece, Crotone was forced by the situation, and they had to rely entirely on Dionysia in order to rebuild the new city and restore the prosperity of the past, so the people finally chose Incorporated into the Kingdom of Dionysia, Lucias, Milon and other highly-regarded parliamentarians of Crotoned were elected to become Dionysian veterans, and Amphias was the son of Lucias, followed his father to the map Riy, and became a classmate of Adorís in Turriy school.In his adulthood, in order not to take too much care, Adoris specifically requested Daveus to serve as a legionnaire in the Fourth Army with Crotone as the center, thinking that no one would know himself.Who knows that he met Amphias in the Fourth Army. It turned out that this guy did not register his family registration in Turrii as an adult, but chose the birthplace of Crotone, and Adolis’ identity was revealed.

Adorris understands the personality of Amphias's dead skin, and he looks around the market, pointing back to the pottery jar next to the stall and asking, "How much is your pot of slurry?"

Elums' heartbeat accelerated and quickly replied: "Two drachmas."

"You still have 15 cans here, I bought them all. You can give him a cup of syrup and water for all the comrades who come here, can you do it?" Adorius said very simply, and at the same time from the money bag Count 30 drachmas.

"OK! OK!" Elums nodded again and again.

A louder cheer suddenly sounded in the market, "Prince Adores wins!" The cheer was also mixed with an abrupt shout.

Damn Amphias!Adoris was so angry that his teeth tickled, and he immediately shouted, "Brothers, Anfias told me just now. Today, I invite you to drink the slurry. When I finish the victory and return to Turi, he will ask everyone to drink beer. !"

"How can I--" Amphias was about to argue, and the soldiers shouted excitedly: "Amphias, I didn't expect you to be more generous than Adores!"

"Amphias, we can't wait to go to the battlefield, and then win, go home and drink your beer!"

...

There was constant laughter in the market.

While he was busy handing slurry to these young soldiers, Elums lamented the fearlessness of these young soldiers and did not know the cruelty of the war, reminding him of his youth.

In the Chinese military account of the Dionysian barracks, this time the army commander Alexis, who was in charge of the attack on Dawn, was wondering about a letter written by King Davers, because the end of the letter, Daveus wrote: "... On the northern bank of the Ovanto River, this place where there has been a glorious battle in history, I look forward to you also winning a glorious victory that does not lose to the predecessors!..."

Alexis thought about it carefully and couldn't remember what great fighting had happened in this neighborhood, so he asked the adjutant who graduated with honors from the school of Turriy: "Yomatseus, you know Ofan Has there been any fierce fighting near the Tuo River before?"

Eumatsius, the eldest son of Bagul, thought for a moment and immediately replied, "I don't know."

Could it be that the battle that took place here a long, long time ago has not been recorded, and His Majesty, as a beloved, can be known through the enlightenment of Hades... Alexis can only think about it this way, Daphes The encouragement in the letter raised an ambition in his chest.

Of course, he would not know that the "brilliant battle" mentioned in the Dafs letter did not happen in the past, but in the history of the previous life: there was a place called Canny about ten miles east of the Dionysian barracks, The Carthage army was stationed there. The great commander Hannibal led the 50,000 army across the river and fought with the 80,000 Roman army. Through his ingenious formation, he eventually defeated the Roman army with fewer wins and created One of the most brilliant examples in the history of ancient Western wars.This also made Davers impulse, want to rush to personally command this war, a short length with Hannibal, and finally he gave up, after all, Danny and the previous life of Rome are too different, it is not worth it He shot himself.

Daphus, who is not very knowledgeable in history, did not know that another battle in the south of Ausculum northwest of the north bank of the Ovanto River in the subsequent decades of previous life was also quite equivalent. Famous-the Battle of Asculum, King Pilus of Epirus led the army to fight the Romans again for a second time, although the final victory, but the loss was heavy, making Pilus did not want to fight the Romans again The fighting thought finally led him to leave Italy and go to Sicily.

"Head of the Army of Amintas!... Head of the Army of Olivers!... Head of the Army of Geogris!... Head of the Army of Ledes!..." The big account guards kept singing loudly.

After the heads of several legions entered the account, they finished their salute with Alexis and sat down.

"Heads of the Legions." Alexis sat on the main seat and said to them solemnly: "We have been here for seven days. All the legions and auxiliary forces, as well as the army's grains have been gathered, and Dawn People are also gathering on the other side, so I decided to cross the river tomorrow to attack the enemy."

"It's a long time to attack! Staying here for so long, almost suffocating our soldiers!" Amintas immediately raised his hands in favor.

"Master Amintas, I think it's you who is holding back." Oliver next to him smiled.

"Okay Olivers, dare to make fun of me, come to a football game in the afternoon, the first legion VS the fourth legion, you and I serve as quarterbacks, who lost, who jumped around the training field frog, dare not dare ?!" Amintas called out loudly.

"It's not that I dare not." Olivers politely refused: "Tomorrow is about to leave, and the corps will be assigned a task in the afternoon to prepare the soldiers. How can there be time to play."

"Find a reason!" Amintas whispered, and he also knew that Olivers was right and didn't bother.

"Master Commander, will the Dawn come out to intercept when we cross the river tomorrow?" Geogris asked cautiously.

"It's very possible!" Alexis replied succinctly: "According to the information from the north, although King Dawn did not want to go out to meet the city, but Askurum, Sipontum, Hedonia (Herdoniae)... The chiefs of many towns insisted on blocking us from the Downey domain, so they encouraged their kings to finally gather their troops on the other side of the Ovanto River. They had less troops than us. Relying on river warfare can increase their advantage. They should not easily let go of this advantage, so they are likely to form an array on the opposite bank, preventing us from crossing the river."

"In this case, we will leave the camp early tomorrow morning to cross the river at the fastest speed. The channel army does not move as fast as our Dionysian Army. When they reach the other side, we will be early. Already crossed the river." Olivers made his own suggestion.

"If that's the case, it is very likely that the Dawns will shrink in the city of Hedonia on the other side and will not come out to fight with us. This is undoubtedly not conducive to our main power to annihilate the Dawns in one fell swoop, and will also delay our conquest of the entire Dawn. The time in the area increased the casualties of the soldiers." Alexis shook his head.
