Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

After a bit of contention, Capps transferred him to the quartermaster department as a quartermaster deputy officer. In the past few years, he has undertaken a lot of work and reduced the burden for Capps.Since acting as the chief quartermaster, Alpuns has performed smoothly as usual, without any flaws, which completely relieved Davos.

At this time, Daphes reassured him: "You don't have to worry, the food problem will soon be greatly improved, the Turiri businessman organized by Sostatus, and the elder Arsibidus Ligim merchants bought large quantities of grains in the Eusking Sea and Egypt, and they will be shipped soon. In addition, the second batch of grains provided by the Egyptian pharaohs will also arrive soon, and these grains will be used as military reserve grains. ."

"That's really great!" Alpens finally smiled.

"What do you think of Rome's attack on the Helnikians?" Daveus turned to look at the Secretary of State Hilos.

Hilos glanced at Hironimus, Philius and Alpens, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, after consultation with our military department, we feel that Rome is an enemy, but this time, they changed their offensive. Direction, shrinking the defense line on the side of the sea, and attacking the inland Helniki with all their strength, is indeed a good strategy, it makes our third fleet unable to play a role. At the same time, the Romans are still a few Many soldiers were stationed in this town, which made our coalition forces with the Walseys dare not attack them, because that would result in more soldiers being killed and wounded in the coalition with little strength. In this way, Rome People can attack the Helnikians who are not strong enough. Even if there is a rescue from the Walseys, we think they can’t resist the Romans’ offense. Unless the Equa and Massi rescues, Helni The base people are in danger. Therefore, Amintas wrote to request additional reinforcements."

"Your Majesty, we have just signed an alliance agreement with the Helnikians." Felix inserted aside.

Daveus nodded, staring at the area on the map where the Helnikians lived, and said nothing for a moment.

Others also kept quiet, waiting for Daveus to make a decision.

At this time, the herald officer Aristilas hurriedly pushed the door into the meeting room: "Your Majesty, the report from the Latium area."

Daveus took a look, suddenly his eyelids jumped, and then handed over the scroll of papyrus to the next Heros.

Hilos took it in a hurry, and after reading it, he was taken aback: "More than 10,000 coalition forces organized by the Equa and Massi attacked the Latin city-Bolae, wanting to attract the Roman army who attacked Helniki. , As a result, they were suddenly attacked by more than 20,000 Roman troops who quickly departed from the city of Rome and suffered a fiasco!"

"How could the Romans have more than 20,000 more troops?!" The other people present were equally dismayed.

Aristilas calmly replied: "It is estimated that it may be troops from the Roman colonial city and the Etruscan allies north of the Tiber."

"It seems that this time the Romans were premeditated!" Daveus sighed and said: "Camillus's trick to "trap the enemy" is very good."

The others present here are battle-hardened veterans, who understand what Daphes meant: Camulus placed the Roman army on the front and the rear deliberately defended against emptiness. In fact, the army, the Equa and The coalition of the Masses did not dare to confront the Roman army head-on because of its small strength. It attempted to attack the rear of the army in an attempt to force the Roman army to return. As a result, it was raided by the Romans who had been prepared. Dolly's distance.

Felixius once again leaned over the map and observed it carefully. His eyebrows were twisted together: "Your Majesty, the Equite and Massi have suffered this fiasco and I am afraid they can no longer rescue Helniki. People, the Romans can safely attack them boldly, here—"

Philius pointed to the camp of the Roman army. Shen Sheng said: "Originally, there were more than 40,000 Roman soldiers, and the addition of more than 20,000 people is far from the Helniki and the Walsie’s reinforcements can resist. I believe that the Romans will soon eliminate the Helniki forces, and then attack the Walssian towns in the east, or—" Felicius used longwood The stick pulled in the lowland between Le Pini and Ausoni, with a worried expression: "Lead the army further west and attack the Wallis from the east to the coastal plains. By then, Even with the First Army, it was impossible to stop so many Roman soldiers. If the defenders of the Roman colonial towns in the southwest also attacked, I believe that the Walseys will be eliminated soon, and the Romans will Completely conquer the Latium region!"

Silos also chimed in at the moment: "Your Majesty, you used to make us pay attention to Rome. To be honest, we didn't take it too seriously, but now it seems that its war potential is too amazing! You see, it attacked Helny. The base is more than 40,000, and the coalition army defeating the Equa and Massi is more than 20,000. It is reported that there are nearly 10,000 guards in the three cities of Antium, Villetre, and Satnikum. Army, this is a force of nearly 100,000 people, which shows that it can organize a huge army of at least 100,000 people. Assuming that these troops do not all have the same fighting power as the Roman army that was against the First Army, they will also give us Cause a lot of trouble!"

Several other military ministers also agreed with Hilos.

"Rome's huge army is indeed a big trouble." Daveus looked around them, Shen Sheng said: "But the biggest trouble is their dictator Camulus! Carthage, although powerful, but they are in power Hanno obviously had no experience of war, and did not understand the significance of this war. The generals and troops sent were like playing games, but Camulus clearly knew that the war with us was related to the life and death of Rome. From the outset, I tried my best.

I got the information. He even proposed and passed the proposal of “allocating the newly conquered land to the landless poor and actively absorbing the Romain and Etruscan people as Roman citizens” in the Roman Senate………etc. In this way, it may not only alleviate the fierce conflict between nobles and civilians in the Roman city-state, but the number of Roman soldiers that can be called will also increase rapidly.Ladies, Rome is not causing us much trouble, but it is a real threat to our Kingdom of Dionysia!"

The words of Daphes made everyone's face dull, and even Hironimus, who usually didn't like to talk, could not help cursing at this time: "This Rome! Not only stealing our military system, but also copying our political system. Dionysia!"

Whether the military system in Rome was self-created or learned from Dionysia, this is a topic that military officials occasionally talk about when they are free, but everyone at the moment obviously has no intention to discuss this issue again, everyone stands Beside this three-dimensional map, gaze at this familiar and unfamiliar city-state on the middle reaches of the Tiber River with a careful eye.

Suddenly, Tolmed said: "Your Majesty, I have a view that the Romans wiped out Helniki. If they capture another town in the mountainous area east of Volsey, their sphere of influence will already be bordered by the Samonais By the way, according to the habits of the Samoan people, will they get along peacefully with such a powerful new neighbor?! As long as we think of a way, maybe these two forces will have a fierce conflict, and by then—"

"Samonets wouldn't be that stupid." Felixius questioned: "They just ended a war with us, and now the Romans are fighting with us again, don't they know that the enemy's enemy is a friend ?!"

"Of course, the leaders of Samone know, but the warriors and people of the Samone tribes living on the Roman border may not obey for the sake of benefit, and once the conflict is intensified, it is not under the control of the leaders. ""Tolmed defended.

He was saying that Aristilas, who had just been out for a while, entered the conference room again, and he said to Daveus quickly: "Your Majesty, an emergency military situation from the Dawn area!"

Daveus opened his eyes, then looked up dignifiedly at the curious eyes of everyone, and said slowly: "No need to discuss the possible conflict between the Samone and Rome. This morning, the Samone invaded our Downey area!"

"What?!!!" Everyone's face changed dramatically.

Silos quickly took over the report from Davers, and several people scrambled to watch it.

"The Samone attacked the cities of Ausculum, Vibinum, and Gerunum in the Downey area. Only the city of Geulum was in Fron At the border of Tani, because the Frotanians and our Dionysians have always been friendly and friendly, they are lacking precautions, and they are captured. The citizens of the other two cities have repelled the enemy’s raid, but they are now under siege. The Samonais declared war on us!" Felix said in a silent voice as he read the battle report.

"Isn’t that just right? It saves us every day when the Samonians will betray the kingdom. Since they will be stupid enough to leave the mountainous area where we have headaches and fight on the plains, it just gives us the opportunity to completely eliminate the big Samonet. Trouble!" Daveus's calmness wasn't pretended. The attack by the Samones more than ten years ago would make him nervous, but now the powerful national power of the Dionysian Kingdom has given him enough confidence, even in the face of a drought, he There is also enough confidence to completely defeat this evil wolf that is blocking the expansion of Dionysian North, and it can even be said that the betrayal of the Samonais was the result of his deliberate manipulation.

Daphes' relaxed attitude and confident words were like drinking a glass of refreshing pulp water to several people in the room, calming their tense mood.
