Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Lizzaro came to the center of the battlefield: here was full of wounded soldiers and corpses, the more corpses the more toward the center, showing the tragic situation of the previous battle.In the center, there are more than 20 soldiers of the Dionysian Legion. They are all wounded, blood stained, and the military is not uniform. Even standing is a little difficult, and they can only help each other...

But when Lizaru came to the front, they still tried to salute him: "Report the head of the army, the first branch of the fourth brigade of the third army to complete the blocking mission!"

Lizaru returned to the military salute very solemnly, and at the same time his voice choked with sobs: "You have done very well! Without your resistance, there would be no victory!"

After he finished, he stepped forward, held onto the crumbling Taglu, and grabbed his right hand, holding it high: "You Taglu blocked Laos with a small amount of force at the Lahe Fortress more than ten years ago. Offense! Today you once again blocked the attack of thousands of Samoin warriors with a company, you are really an iron wall!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!!! Wan Sheng!!!!!!" The surrounding soldiers cheered in unison.

In the cheers, Taglu and his soldiers tried to straighten their chests, and since then Taglu has been nicknamed "Iron Wall".

Where did the generals of Campania, such as Alos, who followed Lizaru, have seen such a tragic battlefield, and never seen such a terrible army, when they faced an attack of dozens of enemies, they actually fought dead. No retreat, this is simply a reprint of the rumored battle in the hot springs!

The shock in the hearts of these generals is conceivable: No wonder Dionia can defeat Syracuse and become the overlord of the Western Mediterranean. With such an army, which city-state dares to compete!

At this time, the legionary medical camp also rushed over, rummaging through the corpse to find the surviving soldiers, and rescue them urgently.

After a while, the Captain of the Dionysian Cavalry came to report: "Head of the Lizaru Army, we have captured the leader of Cavutini Segovani!"

Lizaru was not surprised at all: it was a miracle that the Third Army and its allies could escape under such a tight enclosure.

Instead, the Dionysian envoy Carrias who followed Lizaru all the way quickly asked, "Where is he?!"

"Bring him up!" the cavalry captain shouted with complacency.

The dusty Segowani was limped and pushed up.When he ran away, he was knocked down by the Dionysian cavalry, his right foot was injured, and his guard was also washed away. Seeing that it was impossible to escape, he consciously became a captive.

"Sergeant Segowani, I did not expect that we would meet in such a situation."

Segowani heard this familiar voice and turned his head to look at it, but it was Cariás' ridiculous face.

"Dionysians, you violated the covenant and quietly attacked your allies, the Kautini! Are you trying to wage war with our Samonei alliance?!" Segowani roared.

"Who is violating the covenant?! It is your Kautini who first violated the covenant. The hundreds of bodies of the Campania people in Atla City are your evidence! Dionysia is defending the sacred covenant. , In order to respond to the request of the loyal allies-the city-states of the Campania League, they sent troops to protect the lives and property of the people of Campania within the territory of the Campania League! The Nepalese did not violate the covenant, did not invade the territory of the Campania League, and how could it be possible to fight us!!!" Carias continued to ask.

Segowani was speechless, but continued to shout: "You are about to release me and my fighters, I will persuade the compatriots in the mountain to resolve this conflict peacefully! Otherwise, the entire Samonei Alliance will call all the warriors, Form an army and invade your Dionysian territory!..."

When Carrias heard it, he wanted to say it again. Lizzaru yelled next to him: "Let them come! Our Third Army is worrying about fighting!"

Seeing Segovani's face pressed down by force, Carias soon lost his anger when he was humiliated at Kautim, he thought about it and said, "I don't know if your majesty will fight this battle." How to deal with it?"

"It's best to order us to win Lola, Sassella, and Capsa!" Lizzaru said confidently.

The two laughed at each other.

In this battle, there were more than 5,000 Cavutini warriors led by Segowani, together with other tribal warriors who invaded the Campania alliance territory, and there were more than 12,000 people. The Third Legion plus half the strength of the Dionysian Second Cavalry Regiment, and the army of the Campania League totaled about 20,000 people. With the mentality and the mind unprepared, the majority of the invasion was defeated. The Kautini people, especially the main force led by Segowani, were almost surrounded and annihilated.

After the war, the battlefield was cleaned, and a total of about 3,000 Kautini fighters were killed and wounded. More than 2,000 Kaoutini fighters were captured, and the deaths and injuries of the Kaoutini fighters who fled back to the mountains were unknown.For this victory, the joint forces of Dionia and Campania also paid a certain price, with a total of more than 1,500 soldiers killed and wounded, of which the first company of the fourth brigade of the Third Army of Dionysia was almost killed and injured. The Second Cavalry Corps also paid a lot of casualties when it blocked the retreat of Segowani's troops.But this battle has devastated Cavutini and shocked the entire Samone region.

In the Carthage House of Elders, the elders were arguing fiercely about the news that had just come back from Rome.

"Everyone, we can't give up anymore! A year ago, it was because of our concessions that the Taknian tribes who were close to us were completely wiped out, and the Dionysians completely took control of the Sikel region. Let us help Gold and silver and supplies are wasted in vain! Now the greedy Dionians are targeting our ally in central Italy, Rome, and we can no longer watch the Dionians conquer Rome, Then successfully occupy the whole of Italy, and by then there is a country that can stop the vast territory of Dionysian! And such a powerful Dionysian kingdom is willing to live peacefully with our Carthage!..." Magoni The Prepa Kuba, the leader of the German Patriarch, waved his arms excitedly and screamed loudly.

His passionate words moved some elders.

Okreton stood up and said, "Calm down, Pretacouba, you are too excited. I remember the news that came back just to say that the Dionysian hoped that Rome would stop against Wall Xi’s offensive had no intention to fight against Rome. Rome has annexed too much land in these years, and it should stop well to rectify its internal affairs. The conflict between its nobles and civilians is so fierce, even for many years. Refusing to select the consul, if this continues, Rome will have a big problem sooner or later."

"Occleton, I think you are really confused!" Another Margonide veteran Santipur stood up and accused: "We spend so much gold and silver and materials every year, just to make Rome a A prosperous city-state?! We are to make Rome a powerful force in central Italy, able to prevent the expansion of the Kingdom of Dionynia to the north! Now that the Walsi people have suffered a fiasco, it is a good time for Rome to conquer them and increase their strength, If Rome stops attacking and shrinks its power, it gives the Walsi a breathing opportunity.

Now, Dionia has been aware of the dangers of Rome, they are trying to help Wally, they may also join other forces against Rome to strengthen their influence in central Italy.With the support of Dionysia, these races will continue to fight against Rome, and eventually Rome will be conquered by the Dionysians like the Trinian tribe!

I think this is not what any wise elders present want to see!It is completely inconsistent with our Carthage's interests!Therefore, we must fully support the Romans and let them reject the Dionysian proposal!"

"Santipur, please note that your full support for Rome is to allow them to continue to attack Walsey, and ultimately lead to Rome and Dionysia war ahead of time?!" Sofitel Tepanlaco stood up loudly Asked.

There was a sudden noise in the venue.

"Yes, it is likely that this will happen in the end." Santipur replied calmly.

There was another commotion on the floor.

"Rome alone cannot contend with Dionia. By that time, as Roman allies, do we want Carthage to go to war?" Tepanak asked.

"Whether it is to keep the oath, to fulfill the military alliance's covenant, or to protect the interests of our Carthage, we must declare war on Dionysia!" Pretakuba said decisively.

The veterans were in an uproar, and controversy sounded on the venue.

"When we agreed to support the Takenian tribe and Rome, hoping that they could suppress Dionysia's expansion, didn't we already consider Dionys as an enemy?! Do you still have illusions at the moment? , Looking forward to the future of the Kingdom of Dionysia, which has eliminated one race after another, and has become extremely powerful? Can we continue to live in peace with us?" Pretacouba questioned loudly, making the noisy venue just quiet. A lot.

"Declare war on Dionia?! Did you know that we just sent troops to Cirta a few months ago to put down the Numibian rebellion, and have not yet completely settled?!" Tepanak Reminded.

"There are also rebellions in Dionysia. The Mesapi, Puchti, and Dawn... are more than us, but this does not affect their continued war and conquer other forces!" Prey With an angry expression, Takuba said loudly, "What the Dionysians can do, we should have been able to do so for the Carthage who has ruled this land for so long!"
