Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

This made many civilian soldiers who had firmly followed Rome cold. The confrontation and suspicion between the Roman nobles and civilians in the camp became deeper and deeper. McKelius, who was initially firm, began to shake now, but continuously. The battle made them too late to calm down and think about the future.

This morning, the unwilling Roman generals sent several squadrons to search the city of Ostia, hoping to find something.

The squadron where McKelius was assigned was assigned to the port.

McKillius has been to the port of Ostia many times before, and the port is full of boats and the crowds of people at the dock no longer exist. The dwellings and warehouses of the scale are now converted into piles. The burning ruins, the black smoke everywhere is crying and crying about the tragic experience suffered by this port last night...

Looking at all this, McKelius was full of desolation, involuntarily associating with Rome, associating with Viagra, associating with himself...

"Captain, the dictator told us that as long as we can recapture Ostia, we can force the Dionysians to engage in peace talks with us, so that we must return to the city of Rome...Now we have recaptured Ostia, really. Do you have peace talks with the Dionysians?" a Victorian soldier beside him asked suspiciously.

For his doubts, McKillius couldn't answer: The soldiers are not fools. Both sides have fought these days, and there are not many casualties. According to the habits of the Romans in the past, after mastering the advantages, they will completely conquer their opponents and let them never again. Without the ability to fight against Rome, would the Kingdom of Dionysia, who is equally powerful, easily let go of Rome?

"Is the Dionysian cease-fire? What does it have to do with us? I've had enough of this endless battle, and while Jupiter is still blessing me, I'm going to leave here and go back to Victoria!" A soldier said aloud.

McKelius glanced at him and said, "As long as the Dionysians still occupy Rome, there is a danger to the love that is not far from Rome. We are here to fight for ourselves, look here--" McKillius pointed to the ruined port of Ostia and said worriedly: "We must not let Vivian be like this!"

As soon as McKelius's words came out, everyone suddenly stopped talking, and they all looked up to the northeast, their faces full of anxiety.

For a while, the soldiers who spoke before said softly, "Why not... Join Dionysia, not only to preserve our love, but also increase our wealth..."

The other soldiers still didn't speak, and even McKillius didn't scold him. Everyone looked at each other with a strange look.

At this time, someone in front shouted loudly: "Look! There is a ship coming!"

After entering the city of Ostia in the morning, the soldiers saw nothing but ruins, so many soldiers curiously rushed to the breakwater of the port.

I saw a sailing boat approaching far from the north coast, and turned into the mouth of the Tiber River. It first approached the north bank. It seemed to see a lot of Roman soldiers in the port, then turned around and headed straight to the port.

"Is it an Etruscan boat?" Many soldiers speculated that the mouth of the Tiber River was more than 200 meters wide, and there was mist in the river in the early morning. It was not clear. Judgment of the direction of course, of course, they also hope that this is the case.

Until the "black hair twines" drawn on the canvas was clearly seen, the soldiers suddenly commotion and picked up the weapons in their hands.

The sailboat stopped and traversed more than 30 meters away from the breakwater. Several people on the boat yelled in Latin.

The squad led by McKillius failed to squeeze on the breakwater, so they could not hear what the people on the boat were yelling, but they soon saw a commotion from the soldiers in front of them, and then made a loud noise to the eardrums: " This is impossible! They are deceiving people, and the city of Casella will not be occupied by the Dionysians!"

"You are right, but the city of Casella is built on the mountains and it is difficult to be captured! And the main forces of Dionysia are all concentrated here to fight us, how can there be enough troops to attack Case? Leila, this must be lying!"

"That big Roman city was captured by the Dionysians in one day! This already shows the terrible ability of the Dionysians to attack the city. Isn't Cassella more difficult to capture than Rome?! Not to mention you I saw it, but the ship came from the north!"

"So what! The devious Dionysians probably made this ship deliberately go around in order to deceive us!"

"Hey, you patronized Keslera, didn't you listen to the people on the ship saying that Vie was also captured by them! It took us ten years to win Vie, how could the Dionysians be in such a short time Capture it, so I said that the Dionysians are deceiving us!"

"If both Keslera and Viagra are lost, our Sutrium is in danger! Anyway, I must go back and see now!"

"I will go back with you!"

...

During the siege of these days, the Roman army suffered a lot of casualties. Camillus took the opportunity to reorganize the army and mixed the citizens from the colony with the citizens of the Roman city to command the battle more smoothly, so one Roman squadrons often have Roman citizens from multiple places.

McKillius' squads were all citizens of Wei Ai. His face changed when he heard these words.

"What about the captain?" The soldiers looked at McKelius in panic.

McKillius was also in a state of confusion. Although he also thought it might be that the Dionysians were deceiving them, he couldn't say "don't care about them, stay and continue fighting", he hesitated for a while, thinking The scene of his wife and children's farewell at the time of his expedition repeatedly emerged, and finally he turned his heart across and said, "Let's go too! We immediately returned to the camp, picked up our parcels, left the army, and rushed back to Victoria from the upper Tiber River. Love!"

"What if... if Love is really occupied by Dionysians?!" the soldiers asked with a trembling voice.

"That's like... just surrender to the Dionysians..." McKelius squeezed out of his mouth in pain.

No one said anything against the soldiers, instead the expression on his face relaxed.

Not only the McKillius squad, but the soldiers of several squads were clamoring to rush back to the camp immediately. The squadron leader from the city of Rome could not stop them by any way of dissuasion or threat.

The previous sailing boat had already sailed to the north shore, but it was not moored on the other side, because there was too much tidal flat at the estuary. Instead, it sailed forward for a while before landing.Dozens of trackers came down from the boat, hung a rope on the sailboat, the sailors paddled the boat, and the tracker pulled the boat, marching towards the Tiber River.

It didn't take long for one vessel after another to sail from the north, turning into the mouth of the Tiber River, sailing along the north bank to the east of the city of Rome.

Seeing this scene, the Roman soldiers still in the port no longer doubted what the Dionysians said before, and ran out of the city of Ostia and back to the camp, and this camp has already boiled...

………………………………………

Upon hearing the news from the doctor that his father had recovered, Lucius immediately opened the tent and walked into the tent.

Camillus lay on the couch with his eyes wide open, staring straight at the tent, wondering what to think.

Lucius walked lightly to the couch, and asked softly with concern: "Father, are you better?!"

"Cough... I'm fine." Camillus' voice was hoarse, and he responded weakly, then immediately asked: "Now... what about the camp?"

"Um...no...no big deal, the order in the camp is relatively stable." Lucius said perfunctoryly.

Camillus turned his head, although his face was pale, but his eyes were still god: "You are my son, can you hide me from talking... I lie here... I can hear the noise from outside , It’s visible... it’s a big deal... I can tell you everything, I can stand it."

"Father, the doctor said that you should pay more attention to your body to recover! The army has Titus, Quintus, and Oulus. They are temporarily responsible. Don't worry too much!..." Lucius said softly. Exhorted.

"I'm the dictator of Rome! As long as I'm alive...I have to be responsible for all Roman citizens...responsible! When I die... some time to rest...cough cough..." Camulus patted with his hand Lying on the couch, anxiously speaking.

When Lucius saw him coughing, he hurriedly said, "Don't worry! Don't worry! Let's take a breath first, and listen to me slowly tell you... This morning, we sent several Roman squadrons to search for the burnt Osti In the city, the soldiers believed the rumors spread by the Dionysian ships, saying that both Keslera and the city of Veyron were occupied by the Dionysians—"

"Kesrella and VieCity have been captured?!" Camillus' eyes widened in amazement.

"I said that this is just a rumor! The walls of Keslera and Veyron are strong, and the terrain is dangerous. The main force of Dionysia is fighting against us. How can these two city-states be captured in such a short time!" Luci Uss said anxiously at the moment: "But the stupid soldiers believed it, and the rumors spread throughout the barracks. The result was not only Victoria, the colonial cities on the north bank of the Tiber, such as Surwaterham and Xhosa. The soldiers also fled the camp, and even the troops of the Etruscan confederation demanded to leave! Titus and Olus have already led the army urgently to rush to block..."

Camulus did not expect that the situation would become so bad when he felt it.He was anxious, not only couldn't think of a good way, but instead had a headache.He propped the couch with his hands and wanted to get up, but he couldn't use any strength.

"Quick!... Quickly call the soldiers to carry me out... Go out... I'll persuade them!" He was so anxious to speak loudly, but his voice was very weak.
