Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

At this time, a word from Portitus reminded them: "Now Camillus is the dictator of Rome!"

Yes, Rome now has a dictator. During this period, all resolutions and bills in Rome have to be approved by him before they can be implemented. Now, the dictator Camulus is just outside, and when he returns, the Roman army will also be When I came back, the crisis would naturally be lifted... The elders suddenly realized that they had an idea.

In the past, the Roman nobles had many fierce conflicts with the civilians, mostly relying on procrastination strategies and survived the crisis, and then everything did not change much as usual... this time, they still decided to choose this method, and Various coincidences made them think that this is the gods blessing Rome.

So, they quickly passed a proposal: to abolish the interest owed by the Roman people, allow all citizens to apply for renting public land, and limit the area of ​​land rented by each person. Civilians can hold important positions in city-states. One of the consuls is a person from a civilian background, and the slaves who participated in this city defense will be immediately free...

The elders passed the proposal, but did not immediately go out to announce to the people, but let their confidant slaves just go home, recruit diners, and let them quietly mix into the gathered people...

After all arrangements were made, they opened the door of the senate and faced the masses to announce the proposals they had passed.

The people present were overjoyed, and some even shouted excitedly: "Victory of the Senate! Rome Victory!"

At this time, the veterans took the opportunity to announce again: "Because now is the dictator Camulus in power, according to Roman law, the proposal we passed must finally be signed by him to be effective, so please wait a little two or three days. "

The enthusiasm of the people erupted like a pot of cold water, suddenly dropped.But at this time, the clan diners who were in it were constantly shouting: "Don't worry, Camillus is facing us civilians. He spoke for us civilians many times in the Senate!"

"Yeah, look at how many civilian team officers he promoted in the army he led. He will definitely sign this proposal!"

"As long as we stick to it for two or three days and wait for Camulus to return, we can enjoy the same rights as the nobles!"

"Yes, you must guard Rome!"...

Although a few sensible people felt wrong, the atmosphere of the rally had been inspired by the noble diners. Many people chose to believe the elders, and some people also volunteered to become soldiers to defend Rome.

A crisis that was about to break out disappeared invisible, and the elders breathed.As to whether Camillus will sign this bill when he returns, they will not worry about Camillus, who came from a noble family, dare to bear the pressure of all the elders and sign the proposal. As for whether the civilians will be deceived afterwards Protests, and even conflicts, will be the future. Let's talk about the greatest danger in front of us.

Now, about one mile from the east, west, south, and north of Rome, all are occupied by the Dionysian army. The soldiers of the Dionysian regiments had a simple lunch and a short break. Under the leadership of the team officers, construction of the camp began.

In addition to the two cavalry regiments who are tasked with observing the enemy situation and attacking at any time, they are recuperating and accumulating, and the court guards want to protect the safety of the king. Even the crew of the Third Fleet, nearly 70,000 people were busy, and soon turned Rome into a large construction site, and the city of Rome was even covered with dust.

In the area under the responsibility of the Second Army, Adores and his comrades waved their picks and shovel to dig trenches while talking.

At this time, someone shouted: "Adoris is there? Someone looking for it!"

"Who is it?" As soon as Adores showed his head in the trench, he heard a joyous cry: "Brother!"

"Kroto?!" Adorris had just seen the person coming, and Kloto Kataks had ran beside him.

"How did you come?!"

"Father asked me to come and see you."

"I'm fine. In the battle yesterday, my team killed many enemies, and none of them were injured." Adorlis said with a bare chest, a little proudly: "You tell my father, let him rest assured. I am now Being busy, there is no extra time to talk to you, go back first."

"Father is now busy discussing the battle plan for tomorrow with the staff members of Tolmed and Prentals. I have nothing to do when I go back now. I would rather work with you here." K Lotto Katax asked.

"Yes!" Adoris simply agreed.

Crotocatax immediately took off his clothes and jumped into the dirty, dark pit.

"Introduce you, this is my younger brother Klotokatax." Adoris introduced to his comrades who were busy in the pit.

The soldiers of the Second Army are mainly Turrii citizens, partly from Amendolara, Bisinia, Castellon, all belong to the Turrii region. Of course, young citizens in this region are The situation of the Asian royal family is understood. Some people may have seen Crotokatax when he was studying at Turui school and knew his identity, so they are very enthusiastic about playing with Crotokatux Greeted.

Croto Kataks greeted the new recruits with their humility and met the soldiers, which won the favor of the soldiers. Some people even jokingly said: "Even the first legion is not as brilliant as our detachment, because There are two princes here."

"Captain, give me another wooden shovel!" Adolius shouted.

Team leader Timamaras did not immediately hand out the wooden shovel, but asked cautiously in a low voice: "Your younger brother will it work?"

"Captain, you're biased. Why didn't you ask me if I could bear it when I hit my stick." Adolius said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Your younger brother is not my soldier." Timaman Rastan replied.

"Relax, my brother has received military training since I was young, but it's not so coquettish." Adoris said, taking the wooden shovel and handing it to Croto Kataks.

Crotocatax immediately picked up the shovel to dry.

Timamanlas looked around for a while and saw that the young prince was working steady and well, and he was relieved, and then said aloud: "Brothers, with the help of Crotocatax, let’s work hard , Strive to complete the task earlier, leaving the other teams behind, so as to get the reward of the captain, let our team be the heavy task of siege tomorrow!"

The captain's words made the soldiers' enthusiasm for work even higher, and some even sang the battle song of the Dionysian Legion. Soon everyone sang together while working, and the construction site was very lively.

This situation makes Klotokatax somewhat envious.

Just when he was stunned, Adorice's voice sounded in his ear: "Is it interesting to be a legionnaire?"

Crotocatax nodded slightly.

"It's more fun when fighting, even if there are some comrades in conflict, you will desperately protect you when you are on the battlefield, and you will protect them desperately. At that time, everyone will become closer than the real brother. This is one Kind of... a very special feeling!" Adoris said with emotion, patting his brother: "You don't have to worry, you just reached 18 years old, they were still in the reserve team when they were 18 years old. Wait, you are already on the battlefield and able to participate in such an exciting battle. When you are older, your father will arrange for you to serve in the legion."

Crotocatax nodded, but remembering what his father said to himself, he was not sure whether he could become a legionnaire.

……………………………………

Yesterday's battle, the Roman army was defeated. Under the chase of the Dionysian cavalry, Paulus, Mejus, and Pantius led the remnant soldiers to escape to Antium.

Pantius accidentally fell on his escape, and was trampled by the panicked soldiers, causing a fracture of his right leg. If it was not for the guards who tried to rescue him, they might have become the captives of the Dionysians.

After entering the city, Paulus and Mejus felt calm.We can wait until the results of the statistics come out, and let them be hit again: the 25,000 people at the time of the expedition, and now more than 1,000 soldiers are left.

Fortunately, one after another came back.The two learned from the mouth of the broken soldiers: on the way from Lavinim to Antium, there were many broken soldiers who injured their hands and feet because they could not walk and wailed.

The two were anxious, and after deliberation, they decided to send troops to rescue these wounded soldiers while it was dark and the Dionysians had returned to the camp to rest.

This was a huge risk, and even some soldiers refused to go out of town to rescue them, but fortunately, the Dionysian chasers had already entered the city of Lavinim to rest, which enabled Paulus and Mejus to lead the army repeatedly and wounded one after another. The soldiers rescued.

It has been busy until the early morning of the next day, bringing the number of soldiers in the city to more than 12,000, but more than 5,000 of them lost their fighting power due to injuries. Even if the doctors of Antium are gathered to treat them, it is still With a lot of money, soldiers are constantly dying in wailing...

Paulus and Megius had no way to deal with this, not to mention that both of them and the soldiers were so exhausted that they almost fell to bed and fell asleep.

The night fell asleep, Paulus woke up almost noon, he soon received the first bad news: nearly 400 wounded soldiers died in the middle of the night.

Paullus, who was already in a bad mood, became even worse. The bread chewed into his mouth completely tasteless, and then Mejus hurriedly came to him: "The scout we sent out found that Dairy, who originally occupied Lavinim, The Onia are gone."
