Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Also on the flagship of the Third Fleet was Leotizides. Because it was the night raid he proposed and planned to King Davers, and through the interrogation of the captives of Carthage, he had There is more understanding, so even if the second army commander Matonis has a higher qualification in the army, Davos still orders Leotizides as the temporary commander of this operation.

As soon as Leotizides entered the port, he kept observing the surrounding environment in contrast with the situation revealed by the Carthage captives: the bay of the whole port was surrounded by a wall of more than 10 meters, and the walls were separated by about 40 meters. A tower was built, illuminated by clusters of torches at the head of the city, and covered with Carthage soldiers. If it was not the Second Army that won the natural breakwater, I am afraid that the warships entering the port have been hit by fire from all sides. rocket.

But even if he successfully invaded the port of Lilithium and successfully captured the lighthouse, Leotizides did not think that the Dionysian army could capture Lilithium in one day, so his original plan was night. Assaulting and destroying the port of Lilibi prevented the Carthaginians from using it for a short period of time to continue to transport the weight and troops for the transshipment of the army.

However, King Daveus's letter later suggested that he should try to capture Lily and the city as much as possible, and wrote a sentence at the end of the warrant: Seckrian may have a way to break the city.

Can Sekerian, who is good at naval warfare, have any way to siege on land?!...Leotizides kept thinking about this issue, and his eyes turned to the natural breakwater to the west: a warship of the Sicilian fleet was docking next to the embankment, where countless legions of soldiers gathered, Most of them were waiting in line, and only a few soldiers ran to the lighthouse under the leadership of the team officers. At the same time, there were soldiers carrying the injured comrades out of the lighthouse... The passwords of the team officers sounded from time to time on the wall of the embankment. The black shadow was shaking, rising flames in the city further ahead, illuminating the arrows flying in the air, and also illuminating the legionnaires wearing black helmets and armor, carrying the sapwood, they were preparing Through the fire wall...

Seeing this, Leotizides could not help but squeeze a sweat, in his opinion: the capture of the tower gate is indeed a key to open Lilifang's defense, but the aisle in the city is too narrow after all, the force is unable to Unfolding, once the Carthaginians strengthened their defense there, it is difficult to capture them in a short period of time, unless a miracle occurs!Alas... or time is too tight!

"Go and ask where is Seclian?" Leotizides said softly to the adjutant Taglu.

Taglu immediately asked several ships of the Sicilian fleet, and the crew all gave the same answer: "Master Seklian is in the port area."

The members of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade did not understand why the order given to them required that they must capture all the laborers of the terminal after boarding the terminal, but also try to hurt as little as possible.

Despite the doubts in the heart, the mountain reconnaissance team still faithfully executed the order. In fact, the task was easy to complete, because the workers were gathered at the pier at that time, preparing to unload the cargo. When the tower guards sounded the alarm, they were in the front ten. The cargo ship had quickly approached the trestle, and the mountain scouts drilled from the linen briskly jumped ashore. The laborers gathered at the dock had not yet figured out what the situation was, and they became captives.

Under the guards of ten mountain scouts, these laborers were escorted to the trestle, and then they saw the Dionysians holding a sharp blade, disturbing the port area in chaos. They were all frightened and dared not move.

At this moment, the few Dionysian soldiers who had been staring at them like evil spirits suddenly straightened their bodies, thumped their left chests with their right fists, and shouted, "Master Sekrian!"

"Brothers are working hard!" Along with this thick voice, a group of people appeared in front of the laborers. A sharp-eyed man wore a black helmet with a purple-red crown and a black breastplate. The workers swept their faces.

The workers bowed their heads in fear.

"Is all the terminal labor here?" Seckrian asked quietly.

"Except for a small part who did not obey the dissuasion and tried to resist the escape...we were stabbed." The team member replied.

Seckrian took off his helmet, handed it to his men, and strode closer to the workers.

The laborers were so scared that they pressed their heads lower.

Seckrian stopped in front of a thin young laborer, and suddenly his voice became hoarse: "Setonus, look up and see who I am!"

The laborer shivered when he heard the voice, and raised his head subconsciously. I saw the man in front of him with his back hanging down, his eyelids hanging down, and his eyes staring at him indifferently.

"Folkers! You are Fulkers! You are alive, that's great!" The young laborer shouted and jumped with joy, involuntarily grabbing Seclian with his hands.

Immediately following Sekerian's soldiers blocked his hand vigilantly, the young laborer immediately woke up from the excitement, staring at the other party and the soldiers surrounding him, and became panicky again.

"Don't worry, they are all my life-saving benefactors!" Seclion straightened his body again and said to the soldier beside him, and asked them to stand farther, without worrying about his safety.

Then, when he turned to the laborers again, the laborers who secretly looked at him curiously lowered their heads again.

He said softly and sincerely, "I am Volkors and Secilia the Commander of the Dionysian Sicilian Fleet. You all know that the storm destroyed Carthage and many of our Dionysian warships, I was also blown by the wind and waves to the vicinity of Lili Pian Port. If I didn’t take care of you during that time, I might not be able to live today. You are my life-saving benefactor!......"

Sectrian’s sincere words caused a commotion among the workers, and the young worker named Setonus couldn’t help but ask: “You... are you really Seckrian?! Is it'Undefeated General in Sea Warfare' Sekelian?!"

"There are so many Dionysian soldiers here, do I dare to lie!" Seckrian smiled.

"Oh my god, I actually lived with the noble General Seclian, who was favored by Poseidon, for a while. It's unbelievable!" Setonus was excited again.

"General Sectarian, you know, we are not Carthages. When you were in this port...we all got along with you friendly, you...you won't let these soldiers hurt us?! Asked an older worker with courage.

"Uncle Argus... General Seclian is so good, how could it hurt us!" Setonus immediately defended it.

Seckrian took the conversation and said with a smile: "Of course I will not hurt you who have suffered and suffered with me! On the contrary, I will also apply to His Majesty the King to join you in the Kingdom of Dionysia! I believe you all know that becoming a Dionysian citizen, you can get land, you can perform military service, and you can get public office, which is much better than being oppressed by Carthage here!"

"If it weren't for Lilipy's soldiers who were staring at us every day, we would have found a chance to leave here! Master Sekerian, we are willing to follow you to Dionysia!" A worker immediately responded loudly, and other workers were also close. Then nodded in response.

The workers responded in this way, and Sekelian was not surprised. After living here for a while, he knew that there were Greeks, Greek-Phoenician descent, and Numisbians among them. The Phoenicians and Carthages, these workers have no sense of belonging to Carthage.

Thinking of this, he said aloud: "According to the "Dionysian Law", if you want to become a Dionysian citizen as soon as possible, you must contribute to the Kingdom. So, now I need your help so that I can capture this as soon as possible. Town!"

"Let's also... attack the city of Lilithium together?!" Setonus pointed at the towering wall in front of him, showing a fearful expression on his face.

Other laborers have similar thoughts. They were still excited. They now bowed their heads and dared not make eye contact with Seclion.

"Of course it is not for you to fight like our soldiers." Seckrian immediately denied that his eyes were searching in the crowd, and finally fell on a middle-aged laborer who was in vain: "Karmulus, I used to Once I heard you accidentally mentioned that there is a tunnel in the port area leading into the city, where is this tunnel?"

"Ah! You... When did you hear me say it?" Karl Mulhouse was startled, subconsciously wanting to deny it.

"Just when I asked you to go to the tavern to drink, you said when you were drunk." Seckrian stared at him closely, a smile on his lips.

This Karl Mulhouse has the habit of stealing alcohol and drinking. He often sneaks into the people’s homes in the port area late at night and exchanges the stolen objects for alcohol and drinks. For this reason, he was caught twice by the port patrol and cut off an ear and One finger, other laborers despised him and did not approach him. Only Sekerian considered that this person often sneaked into the people’s homes in the port area and might know some secrets that others did not know, so he deliberately dealt with him. Obtained such a precious secret, he kept this in his heart.

Does the port area actually lead to the urban area?!...The workers were very surprised when they heard this. Some people immediately expressed doubts: "Karmulus, you are lying, we have never heard of this, how is this possible!"

"In your identity, how could you possibly know such an important secret!" Karl Mulhouse immediately heard this question, and immediately felt that this was someone's contempt for him. Instead, he straightened his chest and arrogantly retorted: "I'm risking Dangerous life, obtained this important secret—"
