Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

But after listening to it, Midolades was still puzzled: "It is regrettable that the Greeks finally lost, but what does this have to do with Dionysia?"

Henipolis, who deliberately sold Guanzi before, smiled and said: "Because some Alenia fled to Italy and established Elia with other Greek colonists, this history is inscribed in Apollo in Elia On the stone tablets in the temple. The Elias are now citizens of Dionysia, so the Alenia they once established should belong to Dionysia!"

Hernipolis’ explanation was a bit irrational, but Midolades thought it was right. He immediately stated: "The third fleet will recapture Alenia from Carthage and wash away what the Greeks used to do. shame!"

Daphes was satisfied with his statement and further encouraged: "You go back and tell the crew of the Third Fleet that the recapture of Alenia will not only greatly attack the Carthaginians, but also inspire the Greek cities in the Western Mediterranean , Deepen the friendly relationship with Marcelia and become a hero in their hearts!

And as far as I know, Alenia has a well-equipped and large-scale port, which is a military port and a commercial port. It can be used as a docking station for all ships of the Third Fleet, which can prevent you from going back and forth. bitter.When Alenia is won, the Third Fleet can use it as a base to attack the island of Sardinia next to Corsica, attack the mining teams on the island, destroy their towns and villages, and attack their cargo ships... …"

Midolades said emotionally: "Your Majesty, please be assured that I will let the Phoenicians on these two islands not ship a piece of metal!"

Daveus saw Midolades' emotions being too excited, and couldn't help reminding: "Now I can't draw an army to support you. The task of attacking Corsica and Sardinia can only rely on the third fleet. , So you have to be bold and at the same time be cautious. You must cherish your soldiers and don’t let them suffer too many casualties, which will make the follow-up plan impossible!”

Davos' words made Midoladston feel more stressed.

At this time, Crotocatax asked: "Father, if we take military action on Corsica, will the Etruscans be dissatisfied and have other ideas?"

In fact, this problem has been discussed privately with Daveus by Croto Catax before. At this time, it is only a polite reminder to Daveus.

Daveus praised his son's carefulness and thoughtfulness, and then said righteously: "This is no need to worry, although the Etruscans often have trade with Carthage, they are no longer an alliance, and because of Carthage's strength Dissatisfied with supporting Rome, not to mention that the southern Etruscan city-state has just formed an alliance with us..."

Then, Davers looked at Midolades again: "However, your warships should not appear on the sea belonging to the Corsican land controlled by the Etruscans, and do not allow soldiers to enter their Territories to avoid excessive stimulation that originally feared our powerful Etruscans... Besides that, I have no other requirements. How to attack Corsica and Sardinia is up to you. I No interference."

Daveus made Midolades feel more stressed. He took a deep breath and said, "Yes... Yes, Your Majesty!"

Tormed looked at Midolades's back and couldn't help saying: "He's a little nervous."

"Tense is a good thing, so he will be cautious when he takes action, even if the third fleet does not get any decent results, but as long as the fleet wanders around these two islands, it will cause great trouble to the Carthaginians. I’m afraid that Midolades is too confident, losing vigilance, taking risky actions, and causing the third fleet to lose a lot, and weakening our advantage, just like... alas!" Daveus’ words came to a halt, and then heavy Sighed.

Tolmed knew that Daveus must have remembered Secrian and the Sicilian fleet again.

At this time, Maltius entered the account again: "Your Majesty, the Commander of the Army of Matonis sent a messenger in return, and Aricia surrendered!"

Davies smiled on his face: "Hadis bless, today is really good news!"

No wonder he is so happy that Arecia is not far from Tunstrom, just west of Lake Albalonga, it is a very old Latin city-state and has been the center of the western Latin region since ancient times, especially in Algeria After the destruction of Baronga.From its name, it can be seen that this Latin city-state has a very close relationship with the goddess of hunting, Diana. Aresia, who is extremely admired by the Latins. It is for this reason that it has once resisted the rise of the Latin city-state in the west. Rome, but after many defeats they had to join the Roman-led Latin League.

After leaving the city of Rome with his own forces, Davers first stationed outside the city of Tunstrom (the original Roman camp), and divided his troops into several Latin city-states not far west of Tunstrom, with the focus on Aresia.Under the coercion of the army, the other city-states surrendered in succession, and only the proud Aresia refused to submit to Dionia.So Daveus ordered: the second and sixth legions led by Matonis to attack Arecia.

Several days of continuous attacks finally saw results.

When Davies’s smile was fleeting, a harsh tone followed: “If not for the Roman civilians’ feelings, a Latin city-state like Arecia who dared to rebel against us should have suffered like Gabi Treatment, but even if it surrenders, it can't be taken lightly! Heny, you go to inform Tapirus and let him talk to the Aresians immediately, since Aressia is the holy forest of the goddess of hunting, I can make Arecia a holy place to be worshipped by all Latins, and let it replace the position of Mount Albalonga. But from then on, Aresia must not build a wall, form an army, have a population of no more than 5000, and treat everyone Open, and its safety is guaranteed by Dionia..."

"Understood, Your Majesty. Uh... It is said that because of this Diana's relationship, Arecia is also a famous medical center in the Latin area..." Henripolis reminded.

Davos said slightly: "Aresia's medical skills are comparable to Dionysia! I think the responsibility in this regard should be left to Hades!"

"Your Majesty, Arecia's surrender is a good thing. It's just a pity that he didn't seduce the Roman army!" Tormid said with regret.

Davies smiled slightly and said, "I don't care about it." The Romans have been fooled once, and naturally they will become a lot more cautious. Now their main force is still stationed in Satnikum. It seems that they are ready to die. It’s also a good thing, without the support of the Romans, Arecia also surrendered, and other western Latin city-states will soon make their choice."

Speaking of which, Davers's eyes became sharper, and he said firmly: "Tormid, you go to inform the whole army to prepare, and leave Tustron tomorrow, march southwest to Satney It’s time for Qom to build a camp to the north!"

Dave's words made everyone in the big tent excited.

"Yes, I will immediately notify the legions!" Tolmed responded excitedly.

"And... before we sent messengers to these Latin city-states to persuade the descendants, that Adi's attitude was the most determined, and also beaten our messengers..." Daveus said coldly.

"It is said that the Roman dictator Camulus lived in Adi for a long time, and he was strongly supported by Adi in the battle to expel the Gauls, so Camilus has a close relationship with Adi. Adi often gives Adi a lot of care in the Roman Senate, so it is not surprising that the Adi people will do this. But then, for the survival of their city-state, the Adi people may have to give up their support for Camulus." Reese exhorted.

"Since Ostia was burned down, Adi was very important for us to attack the main Roman force in Satnikum because it is not far from Antium and not too far from the camp we will build, and it It also has a small port..." Daveus narrowed his eyes, and there was a gleam in his eyes: "We need to fully control this town to transfer and transport the food supply of the army, so we cannot accept Adi's surrender, It is to capture it completely!"

…………………………………

Outside the city of Satnikum, thousands of Roman citizens are working tirelessly to build defensive facilities, reinforce the city walls, fill the deer wall under the city, dig trenches and dig deeper, set up multiple traps, and set more between trap zones A sentry tower that extends the entire defense range outwards... The defense pattern of the entire city is very similar to the defensive camp usually built by the Dionysian army.

Because it was Titus who first commanded the army to attack Ostia to take on this task. From the defeat, he deeply realized the strength of Dionysia’s defense system, so he transplanted it after a little change. .

At this moment, he was standing at the head of the city to supervise the progress of the entire project. Although he saw that the entire defense facility was gradually taking shape with the efforts of the sweating soldiers, there was no trace of joy on his face, but a gloomy face.

"General, Lord Quintus is here." The men whispered beside him.

Titus heard the words and glanced back at Quintus, who was stepping on the stone ladder to the city. The irritability flashed away.

"Hey, Titus!"

Looking at Quintus, who was approaching, there was no hint of enthusiasm on Titus' face: "When did you come back? Are all the urban defense facilities in Antium built?"

There was a hint of question in Titus's tone. Despite Quintus' displeasure, he explained: "Antium is only more than 3,000 civilian soldiers, and Pantius' foot injury is basically good. He One person can accomplish this task. I was in a hurry there, so I came back yesterday."
