Phoebedas stopped talking. Dionysius' arrogance made him, a warrior from the Greek overlord Sparta, feel uncomfortable.

"Phoebedas, for this upcoming battle of the largest scale in Greek history, I need your help, the best fighter in Sparta, so that we can win this battle more easily! "

For Dionysius’ invitation, Phoebe Das couldn’t refuse. The phrase "the largest battle in Greek history" alone was enough to attract his greatest enthusiasm.

……………………………

On the same day, Daves asked Lizaru, First Battalion of the Third Army, to lead three heavy infantry brigades, a total of 3000 men and a thousand men from Elia stationed in Poseidonia, while guarding the nearby area. Ten thousand prisoners. For this reason, Daves also sent a quick horse to Picosis and notified Anta Auris to arrange manpower to **** these prisoners to the rear of Lucania.

Then, he led another part of the soldiers of the First, Second Army and the Third Army, with a total of about 24,000 troops, and marched eastward along the Sele Valley.

The march was not smooth. Not only was the road difficult to follow, but the Samonaites were also encountered from time to time.

At the beginning, receiving the return from the spies, Daves thought that the Sammonites wanted to use the complex terrain of the mountain to harass the army, so they sent out the light infantry and light armor of the three legions to protect the marching army. The two wings of the column.

Who knows that when the soldiers rushed forward, they found that the enemy's resistance was weak, and they were even easily captured.

The first thing that the captured Samoneites did was to open their mouths to eat. They called in soldiers who could understand the Samoneite language. After asking them, they found out the reason for their presence. They immediately reported to Dave. S.

Daves knew at this time: The army of Samona outside Potentia was defeated by a night attack. This was a great surprise!

Originally, Daves only asked Izam to send out many mountain scouts to pretend to be Samona’s routs, intending to sneak into the Samona camp at night, spread rumors, and shake the military’s mind. Of course, if it is possible to burn Samona. With the burden of the Monet, then the next battle with the Samona can be considered a surpassing victory. For this reason, he wrote a secret letter to Potentia, hoping to get some help... Of course this is just He didn't have high hopes for a game of chess, and he was sure to succeed.

Unexpectedly, the Samonais would be defeated like this! This made Daves, who had a clear understanding of the history of "Samonets were the strong enemies of early Rome" in his previous life, was a little bit unbelievable.

But soon the army met the investigators who rushed back from Potentia to report. Daves confirmed that the Samonais had been defeated, and also learned that the mountain range was investigated during the operation last night. The captain of the brigade company Plintors played an important role. He planned the night attack and took the initiative to contact Pollet in Potentia City...

After listening to the night attack, Daves couldn't help but admire him, and repeatedly praised the investigation team leader: "Lizam, you have a very good subordinate!"

Lizam said seriously: "He is better than me!"

"When the country is in crisis, it is the time when heroes are born!" Daves was full of emotion, and at the same time remembered the name Plintors in his heart.

Look at these Samonais who walked so hungry as to walk, think about them after a night of chaos and fright, the camp was burned and washed by heavy rain, running all the way, tired, hungry, and startled. Where there is still half of the fighting power, the battle of Potentia has basically ended! Davers made a judgment and felt a lot easier in his heart. He immediately ordered: Legion light armoured and light infantry meet the Samonais to attack decisively and expand the results!

At the same time, they sent people to rush to Potentia City, and asked Puamote to prepare a camp for the army in advance. Originally marching in the war zone, the Dionian regiment would normally stop advancing in the afternoon and start building camps, but today Daves will march boldly and strive to reach Potentia within one day.

In the evening, the vanguard arrived outside the city of Potentia. They were surprised to see: Under the dim sky, two "fire dragons" stretched parallel to the west from the city of Potentia to the west. It is two miles long. It was the people of Potentija who raised their torches, came to greet the Dionian army, and illuminate the way for the team...

After Davos learned of the situation, he rushed to the front, and it happened that Puamote brought a group of tribal leaders to greet him: "Dear Daves, all the people of Potentia warmly welcome you to lead The army is coming!" Puamote respectfully saluted Davers at Pollet's prompt, and the leaders behind him also saluted.

Daves did not sit still and accepted the respect of the allies. Instead, he hurriedly jumped off his horse, responded quickly, and said apologetically, "It's so late, and I'm still leading the army to disturb your silence. It’s really my fault! I didn’t expect you to greet us in such a warm way regardless of your own safety when the Potentia Territory is still not very safe. It’s really... Thank you! I represent all the soldiers, Xiang Bo The people of Tentia and the leaders express their heartfelt thanks!!"

"No, Master Davos! It should be our Potentians who express our gratitude to you Dionian soldiers." Puamote felt that Daves could understand his painstaking efforts. The hard work was not done in vain, but he did not show it, but said emotionally: "Compared with the great kindness of Dionia to save Potentia, this little thing we have done is nothing!"

"We are allies." Daves smiled gently: "Allies should have helped each other like brothers!"

"That's right! You're right!" Puamote nodded again and again, and wanted to say it again. Pollet interjected next to him: "Master Daves, will our words here affect the advancement of the soldiers? ?"

Daves was reminded, and when he looked back, the army had stopped advancing. He hurriedly said: "I'm so sorry, leaders! Please come here with me."

"Oh, it's our negligence." Puamote hurriedly led the crowd to clear the way for the army.

"Tormead!" Daves turned around and shouted.

"My lord!"

"Pass the order, let the drummers and trumpeters play "Victory March" and celebrate this victory with our allies!" Davers said loudly.

"Understood!" Tolmead turned around immediately.

The Dionian Army attaches great importance to the smoothness of military orders, and strictly requires the use of bugles and snare drums to convey instructions. Therefore, there are dozens of trumpeters and snare drummers, and here are two and a half legions with a total of 24,000 people. In the army, hundreds of drummers and trumpeters were drawn out. After receiving Tolmeide's order, they retreated to the side of the road one after another.

As the members of the corps who do not participate in the battle, they are not only the task of conveying military orders during the battle. During the march, in order to invigorate the soldiers and forget their fatigue, they will play music to help the march.

For this reason, in the usual military training of the Union, in addition to training with the soldiers in the phalanx training, at other times they also have to gather together to practice music. Of course, they are also indispensable in the various large-scale celebrations of the alliance, so although they do not directly participate in the battle, they are also respected.

At this time, some of the trumpeters changed into bamboo flutes around their waists, and some of the army drummers changed into small copper pulls. Everyone performed their duties and began to play music.

"Victory March" is Daves humming the melody of the march that he remembers more familiarly in his previous life, and let the musicians of the alliance compose and adapt it. Although it does not have the changeable melody and momentum created by the various instruments of the symphony in the previous life, It is a rare music in this era.

In the quiet night, when a lively and cheerful, but strong rhythm melody is played, it quickly resounds over Potentia...

When the Potentians heard it, they felt relieved. During this period of time, the sadness of the loss of their loved ones and the worries about the destroyed homes seemed to be temporarily put aside, and they could enjoy the joy of repelling powerful enemies and winning victory. Joyful.

The tired Dionian soldiers cheered up, straightened their chests, and greeted the allied people's review with the best mental outlook.

"The Legion Advance!"

At the forefront of the marching line is Davos’s 300 guards, headed by the acting captain Rodom (Martius recuperates in Turei), with his hands up to represent Daves’ Supreme Commander The officer’s flag. The top of the flag is a golden statue of Hades wearing a crown, sitting firmly on the throne, holding a double-stranded fork in one hand, holding a ball in the other, and a serene golden statue of Hades. , This shows the dignity of the king. The black flag under the statue is embroidered with the name "Davos" directly with golden silk thread.

The guards were followed by the flag bearer of the First Legion, but he did not follow the heavy infantry, but light infantry and light armor. This is because on the mountain road, once encountering an enemy, the fast-moving light armour and light infantry brigade can react quickly. In fact, most of the Samonaes captured during the journey are due to them.

The first army is followed by the squadron, then the second army, and hundreds of Samonais captured on the way, then the third army, and finally some light infantry and light armoured troops and cavalry brigade, the reason Arrange the cavalry at the end, because some sections of the mountain road cannot ride horses at all. You must walk with horses, and the mountain roads are narrow. If thousands of horses pick up excrement and urine, it will seriously affect the marching speed of the troops behind, and it will be lightly mixed. The infantry was to prevent the Samonais from attacking its rear.

The Dionian army has a clear banner, strict military capacity, and a neater pace and a high spirit. Through the road". Although they were wearing black helmets and black armor, they were quite stressful, but the smiles on their faces made the Potentians feel relieved.
