Siplos looked around and asked: "Commander Proseus has clearly told everyone about his battle plan. Do you have any questions? If not, we will discuss this plan next. How to raise military rations and mobilize citizens to help build defensive camps and fortresses, and plan in advance how to solve the problem of spring planting in the absence of labor—"

"Master Cipros, I have a question!" Taois Chief General Tirias shouted loudly.

Sipoulos was interrupted. He did not express any dissatisfaction, but calmly asked: "Please tell me, Lord Tirius."

"General Proseus just said how to defend against the attacks of the Carthaginians. If the Carthaginians really send an army of seven to eighty thousand, it is obviously not the number of troops we currently have. If they retreat, when will Dionia send an army to drive them away?!" Tirias asked with concern.

Leotizides glanced at him and said lightly: "As long as we hold on for long enough, we can repel the enemy even without sending troops."

"Stay long enough? How long?!" Tirias exclaimed with some dissatisfaction: "From your previous statement, General, you can see that Taunis will become the focus of defense against the Carthaginians. I don’t want to see the Carthaginians being repelled and the city of Taunis has become a ruin!"

Leotizides' face is a bit ugly.

"Master Tirias." Philipius said quickly: "Don't worry. His Majesty Daves has sent several caravans to Egypt and the Yoke Xinghai area to buy food, as long as you have enough rations. , And the Carthage’s army has also begun to attack, and the southern Italian legions will soon reinforce Sicily... Your Majesty will never sit by and watch the Carthaginians ravaging Dionian’s Sicilian territory and allied lands!"

Hippogrita, the chief general of Tirias and Leottini, expressed satisfaction.

After the First Army of Dionia severely damaged the Roman army, due to its own losses, the rest of the next few days were basically in the city of Bolivnham. It was not until the fifth day that they began to prepare to build the camp, but they were rewarded by the scouts: "Sartnicom was captured by the Roman army, and the Roman army there is already advancing to the Wolsey Territory to the south!"

It takes up to two days for the Roman army to travel from Satnikum to Setia at a normal marching speed. In these short two days, it is not enough for the First Army to build a fully defensive camp. The First Legion dealt such a big blow to the Romans, and his camp will definitely become the target of the Romans' key attack. Can the damaged First Legion be able to withstand the Romans' revenge attack?

After discussing with Plintors, Amintas and Plintors decided to ask the Wolseys to "continue to stay in Bolivnham City", which of course was welcomed by the Wolseys.

On the sixth day after that battle, Amintas received a letter from Daves.

In the letter, Daves praised Amintas for actively seeking fighters after arriving in the Wolsey area, and won a brilliant victory with less than more, for the Dionian army in Latham The prestige of the region is conducive to the further operations of the Dionian army in central Italy in the future...

At the end of the letter, Daves reminded euphemistically: "...I heard that this battle caused a lot of casualties in the First Army. I hope that the wounded soldiers can be well treated and recovered! The strength of the First Army is damaged. I suggest that no new military operations should be carried out in a short period of time, so that the soldiers can rest well. We are fulfilling the covenant and assisting the Wolsi to resist the Romans, not to defend our homeland, so there is no I must do my best..."

Finally, Daves said with concern: "...From this battle, we can see that the Romans are very powerful, so I have sent someone to inform the third party stationed in the Campania League. Legion Commander Lizaru, you can strengthen contact with Lizaru. When the First Legion encounters difficulties in future battles, you can ask the Third Legion for assistance, but please remember! The Third Legion can only conduct short-term battles. Can’t stay with the First Army in Wolsey for a long time, because Campania still needs them to guard!..."

Amintas was silent after reading the letter: In his opinion, the words in Davers' last letter were criticisms of him. Moreover, Daves hinted that the First Army would passively avoid fighting in the next battle, which made him a little unacceptable.

Therefore, when Plintors came in, he didn’t want to show the letter to Plintors, but the beginning of the letter read clearly: To the commander of Armintas and Plin Thors read together.

So he silently passed the letter in his hand to Plintors.

After reading it, Plintors understood why Amintas looked upset. In the past few days, the Wolsi’s flattery towards Amintas was seen by him on the side, for Amintas agreed to those Wolsi’s requirements, "When Setia was in danger, he Will lead the First Army and other Wolsey troops out of the city to rescue."

Plintors is firmly opposed to this: After the Roman army converged, there were more than 40,000 troops. Even if they attacked the city with all their strength, they still had enough remaining troops to intercept the rescued troops. At the same time, the Setia people who escaped from the city are likely to be chased by the Romans and disrupt the formation of rescue forces.

But Amintas didn't listen to his advice.

At this moment, he repeatedly read the letter several times, and at the same time the reigning majesty’s wise decision secretly applauded, he also had an idea in his mind. He tentatively asked: "Legislative Commander, your Majesty is afraid of the serious loss of our First Legion. Let us not fight head-on with the Romans?"

"Your Majesty is far away in Turri, and I don’t know much about the situation here." Amintas said with a stern face, "If we let the Romans attack Setia with all their strength instead of rescuing Setia, once Setia After falling, Polefernum will be the next target to be attacked. The Romans can completely surround Polefernum without fighting, and divide their troops to attack the empty cities of Selshe and Trisina. By then ......Hmph, we are really trapped in this land!"

Plintors smiled and said: "Legislative Commander, you did not understand what your Majesty said. He would not let us fight hard because he has given us a way to repel the Romans."

Amintas was taken aback, grabbed the letter and read it carefully, but still to no avail, so he said impatiently: "Don't go around the circle, where is the way to repel the Romans?"

Plintors narrowed his smile and said with a serious face: "Legion commander, you see, the Roman army now has more than 40,000 people, all in front of the city of Setia, it is impossible to have sufficient troops behind them. To defend the land of Wolsey just occupied. And your Majesty asked the Third Army to cooperate with us. The Third Army is now stationed in the Campania area, not far from here, and we also have Midorad. The 3rd Fleet under the command of Sis, controls this sea area, so we can completely—"

"You can raid behind the Romans! Just like when His Majesty besieged Dionysius, but sent Antonios to lead the First Army to raid Sicily!" Amintas stood up suddenly and interrupted Prin in excitement loudly. The words of Thors.

"Yes, Legionnaire." Plintors caught a glimpse of Amintas's expression and knew that he had accepted the proposal, so instead he reminded: "The Legionnaire, in order to prevent the Romans here from returning You should lead the coalition forces out of the city from time to time, put on a posture of reinforcements, and force the Romans to deal with it with all their strength and dare not divide the troops."

Amintas thought for a while with his hands on his hips and said: "Your suggestion is right. However, we must immediately send a messenger to inform Lizaru in Campania, so that this kid is always ready. !"

Another Roman army led by two military and political officers, Quintus and Licinius, came to the Roman camp. After meeting with the army of Camillos and Frius, its number of soldiers reached nearly 4 Five thousand people.

After learning that the Dionians’ participation in the war caused the army to suffer a defeat in battle, the two new military and political officers were surprised. However, the previous successive victories, coupled with the news from the Senate, "Allied Carthage will increase their support for them, and will launch an attack on Dionia in Sicily", so the two are not afraid , But aroused their fighting spirit.

Quintus is a nobleman, his full name is Quintus Claudius Krasu Sabinus, from the Claudius family, which is one of the most noble clans in Rome. As early as the beginning of the founding of Rome, under the leadership of the patriarch Attius Claudius, the whole clan migrated to Rome. The men of this family have always been not friendly to the populace, mostly arrogant, tough, and uncompromising. , Strong-willed, strong sense of responsibility, and strong physique, Quintus is no exception.

The identity of another military and political officer, Licinius, is also not simple. His full name is Publius Licinius Calvius. Although he was born a wealthy civilian, However, he was the first civilian to become a military and political officer during the struggle between the civilian class in Rome and the nobility in the past ten years. He has become a model for the civilians in Rome. This year is his third time as a military and political officer. He will never allow himself to shrink from a powerful enemy, which will damage his reputation.

In order to cut off the connection between Setia and Polevernum and better attack the city, the two military and political officers suggested that the camp should be rebuilt between the two Wolsey towns. This gave Kami Luce agreed.
