Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"What I said is true or false, you become a citizen of Dionysia, you can discover it yourself in the future." Daveus said nonchalantly, and then asked: "What are the important things you have to come here tell me?"

Sectus still recalled what Dafus said before. He remained silent for a while, but Davos' calm gaze made him feel a great deal of pressure. He said unwillingly and reluctantly: " This morning, when we set off from Priest, there were more than 60,000 troops in the army, but when building a camp outside Rome, I found that the number of soldiers was much less...at least 20,000 people left quietly The camp is over," Sectus said, watching Dave's expression.

Daveus sighed in his mind, and immediately turned countless thoughts in his mind, then he said indifferently: "It turned out that Camillus confused me with peace talks, but secretly sent troops to sneak attack on Ostia, but he was small Looking at the current Ostia, it is difficult to capture it in just a short time with more than 20,000 people! I believe that by tomorrow, I will receive news that the Ostia defenders have repelled the attack of the Roman army!"

Daveus finished confidently, and comforted the seemingly disappointed Sextus: "Anyway, thank you very much for your reminder! As a Roman civilian, being able to serve as a squadron leader is just an indication of your excellent military capabilities. Have you applied to become a citizen of Dionysia?"

"...I have applied." Sectus whispered. In fact, when an official from the household registration department asked him, he was hesitant at the time, but at the strong request of his father, he finally agreed. .

"Very good!" Daveus stared at him approvingly, and said aloud, "Now, I decided to appoint you as captain, responsible for organizing the civilians in the city of Rome, setting up a reserve team, ready to go into battle at any time. When the future will settle down Latin Mum, the formation of the new Dionysian Corps, if you have made enough achievements, you will be a strong contender for this regiment, are you willing to accept this appointment?"

After all, Sextus is a young man. He is passionate and prosperous, and his longing for success is his nature. Although he has been depressed since he entered the city of Rome, he was also appointed by Davos and the future cake. Attract, no more hesitation: "I will!"

"Maltius." Daphes turned to his captain of the escort. "In a moment, you personally took Sextus to Tormed and told him my appointment to Sextus, and Let him be responsible for helping Sectus build the Roman reserve team."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Sexus." Dapheus asked Yan Yue again: "I think the soldiers of the Roman army outside the city are not a minority, but why are you the only ones who fled the camp?"

This time Sectus took a much more serious attitude when answering the question: "Because the Roman army has more strict rules for building camps, the legion and the legion must be separated, and it is forbidden to move around at night...

While I was taking advantage of the soldiers’ dinner, I quietly told the civilian soldiers of this legion about the changes in the Roman city, but I couldn’t pass the news to other legions. Some civilian soldiers who got the news did not follow us. Leaving together, but I believe that due to the chaos caused by our camp tonight, the news will spread throughout the army tomorrow."

Daveus nodded indifferently, and said with concern: "Sextus, thank you very much for coming here to remind us that although we have prepared, this is still a big thing! And before you led Civilian soldiers broke out of the camp and fled back to the city of Rome, and already made a contribution. According to the provisions of our "Dionysian Military Law", for the soldiers who made contributions, the Kingdom should give more land and other materials.

Today you have been tired for a day, and you must be very tired. Hurry back home to reunite with your family and get a good night's sleep.Tomorrow, I will convene people from all over the city to gather in the square to announce the reward to you personally, and also announce your appointment together, which will make it easier for you to carry out your tasks.Oh, by the way, there is also a house, worthy of a big house with your merits."

Sextus hurriedly said: "I heard my father say that our family has moved to a large house."

"Oh." Dave said with a smile: "Then can you find your home tonight? If not, you will live in the Barracks of the First Army tonight. Tomorrow, it will be close to the square rally, and you will be rewarded and Appointed to go home, your family will be happier."

"Han... I know where my home is, I can find it!" Sextus said incoherently.

He hurried out of the senate, before reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead and breathing out.In his original imagination, the king of Dionia must be a majestic and domineering person, but he did not expect to be so affable, and he was so caring and passionate about himself, which made him originally question Dio. The Niah regime, and even the violent self-abuse mentality of being imprisoned in the end, but in the end, he almost learned others and spoke the king's title, which made him feel ashamed and confused.

He looked back, looking at the senate courtyard under the dark sky. In the flashing candlelight, he used to feel the sacred and insurmountable gate in the past. At this time, he saw in his eyes that he was so dilapidated.

It was a long time before he moved his legs and walked forward, faster and faster...

"Father, did you let the Roman soldiers who had just fled back to the city pick up their weapons again and form a reserve team? Was it a bit too risky?" Crotocatax, who had just been quietly listening, waited for Sextus to leave. , Asked worriedly.

"You have this vigilance, it's good!" Daveus praised his son first, and then explained patiently: "As I said to Yasisters before, there are only more than 1,000 Roman reserves. Even if they really all rebelled, for the Roman city guarded by our more than 40,000 legions, it would not be able to raise any storms. On the contrary, bringing them together for training is more convenient for us to supervise them. At the same time, we also Taking the opportunity to show the Romans our demeanor, and using them with confidence, can make these civilians dispel the hesitation in their hearts. In addition, there is-Hurney!"

Daphes suddenly remembered something: "You write it down and inform Yasisters tomorrow morning. When the rally is held in the square, the family members of the Roman nobility are also taken over. We not only have to reward Sextus, but also Land and dwellings should also be allocated to those Roman civilians who fled back and applied for Dionysian citizens."

"Your Majesty, this method is great!" Henipolis couldn't help but praise: "You can let more Roman civilians in the city be affected by this and join us in Dionysia, or you can let you already join Dionysia. The Roman civilians had to be more loyal to the kingdom in the hatred of the noble family!"

Daveus looked at the thoughtful Croto Catax and asked, "Cloto, what do we need to do most now?"

Kloto Kataks pondered a little and replied: "...reinforce Ostia?"

"That's right! Camillus secretly sent troops to attack Ostia, and he must have realized the importance of Ostia to us. In the face of the difficulties of the Roman army, he will definitely attack Ostia with all his strength, although In these two days, Thelis sent someone to report to me that he has been strengthening the defense of the city of Ostia, but the wall of Ostia is not high, and the help for the soldiers defending the city is too small. There are only three reserve brigades from Turi in the Asian city. These soldiers, like Thelis, lack real combat experience. I am a little worried!"

Daveus paced back and forth slightly anxiously, and soon he stopped: "Clotto, you immediately rushed to the Fifth Legion camp, and let Commander Giorgios lead the five brigades to the other side of the bridge. Took a boat to the wharf of the night and rushed to Ostia overnight to reinforce Thelis! The remaining troops of the Fifth Corps were temporarily handed over to the commander of the Fourth Corps Olivers."

Crotocatax did not immediately take orders, he hesitated a little, and suddenly said aloud: "Father, I request to follow the Fifth Army to Ostia to join the battle!"

Davers froze.

"You can also participate in the battle here, there is no need to go to Ostia." Henripolis persuaded.

Crotocatax didn't speak, but just straightened his chest, looking straight at his father.

Davos felt the eager desire in his bright eyes. He pondered a bit and said, "You are going, you can, but you must promise me one thing."

"As long as you let me go, anything can be promised!" Croto Kataks smiled, and answered immediately.

"You must obey the orders of Ostia's chief therist and legion commander Georgris, and you are not allowed to do things yourself! Can you do it?"

"can!"

"Then go with 50 court guards."

"Thank you father!" Crotocatax excitedly gave Daveus a strong hug, and then quickly walked out of the senate.

"Your Majesty, I think it is still dangerous to let His Royal Highness Croto go to Ostia alone!" Henripolis persuaded worriedly.

Davies stared at the exit of the venue with a sigh: "If the young eagle is always under the care of his parents, he will never learn to fly. It is rare that he has the determination to go through the risk, let him go !"
