Davers looked up at the sky, then looked down at the tired but excited faces under the city, and calmly said: "Everyone, you have worked hard! Please follow the "Dionian Military Law" in the wartime According to the law of building camps, half of the soldiers of each legion are responsible for defending on the mountains, and half of the soldiers are building camps under the command of engineers. Go ahead and implement them."
Daves' order and their expectations are very different. Amintas, Matonis and others are a bit disappointed, but they still respond loudly: "Yes!!!"
Watching the crowd go away, Daves remembered something again, looked around and asked: "Where is Tolmeide?"
"Your Majesty, he has rushed to supervise the construction of camps by the legions." Plintors replied.
"You go to Tolmeide immediately and ask him to tell the commanders of the army to separate some soldiers and engineering battalions, and fix the original port of Minoa as soon as possible so that the Sicilian fleet can be stationed. This matter is left to you. Responsible."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Plintors was ordered to leave.
Daves turned around and continued to stare down the mountain.
At this time, large groups of Carthage infantry are gradually arriving on the west bank of the Plaitani River, while the Carthage cavalry who had gathered on the bank of the river retreated to the rear on both sides, giving way to the front. Lined up along the bank of the river, and gradually took the shape of the army formation...
Daves’ gaze finally focused on the group of riding generals in front of the Carthage infantry phalanx on the west bank of the Plettney River. In the center, there was a general wearing a golden helmet without a cap and wearing a golden yellow. He had a breastplate, a dark red skirt, and a blue cloak. He was pointing to the hills, and he was talking, and everyone around him gathered to listen.
Davers whispered solemnly: "Marco..."
The person Davos saw was indeed Margo, and he was squinting at the mountain at this time: Dionian soldiers constantly emerged from the ruins of Minoa, lined up as a defensive line... ...
"My lord, the Dionians don't seem to want to fight with us." A general judged.
"If it were me, I wouldn't let the soldiers fight right after the march." Another general reminded tactfully.
Marco raised her eyebrows and did not speak.
Until he saw that the Dionian soldiers on the mountain not only did not attempt to descend, but also began to arrange the deer village in front of the defensive array, he had to give an order: "Leave the cavalry to continue to monitor the enemy's movements, be careful Beware of their sudden attack! You lead the soldiers to build the camp!"
............................................... ....
While Davos led the army marching westward along the south coast, another Dionian army with the Third Army as the main force did not rest much after entering Agilion. It was on the second day. With the newly formed Sikel troops as the forerunner, continue to march west.
The strange thing is that we didn't see any Sikel tribe on the way, and we didn't suffer any disturbance. Two days later, the army successfully arrived at Enna, the central town of Sicily.
This is another empty city.
Lizaru and Epithenis, who had been fighting for a long time, were not happy. Instead, they were a little more cautious and sent more mountain scout soldiers and Sikel soldiers to detect the enemy's movements.
One day later, Lizaru received news: There were a large number of Carthage soldiers gathered near the city of Kefaluo Yitian, and there were also some Sikel soldiers. The preliminary estimate is that the force is more than 30,000.
Lizaru seems rough, but in fact there is a rough and a fine, whether it is to lead the 3rd Army to defeat the Cavutini in Campania, or to attack Rome from the Shiiqiao while attacking Rome, Distributing troops on one side to defeat the reinforcements to the north, these battles undoubtedly reflected his characteristics. Serving as the temporary commander of several legions for the first time, after entering this unfamiliar mountainous area, he became quite cautious. After receiving the news, he immediately discussed with Epithenis and Kreru, and finally decided: until the detailed deployment of the enemy forces to the west is discovered, the army will continue to stay in Enna and report the news. Your Majesty Daves on the South Coast.
............................................... ....
Although it is early November, the sun is still hot at noon on the Minoan Sea.
Daves led the main senior generals of the army but stood by the temporarily restored port, enduring the sunshine, and patiently waiting for the entry of a huge fleet outside the port.
As passenger ships approached, countless soldiers boarded the pier, and the port that had been abandoned for a period of time suddenly became lively.
"Your Majesty, they are here." Hernipolis reminded in a low voice.
"Go, and meet the hero who conquered the Samonaes!" Daves smiled and strode forward.
Others followed suit.
"Your Majesty!" Alexis also strode to Davers, solemnly saluting.
"You have worked hard!" Daves looked at him with unusual emotion, and after paying the military salute, he took the initiative to give the war-honored general a powerful hug.
"Alexis, you are a bit slow to come, we are missing you!" Amintas' mood was a little bit complicated, but this did not affect the friendship between him and his old comrades. Gave him a warm hug.
Immediately afterwards, generals such as Martonis, Oliver, and Trotiras all bowed to him at first sight.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Tenth Army, Meilishanda, is reporting to you!" Meilishanda saluted the military salute neatly, with an unusually loud voice.
The smile on Daves’ face is even brighter: "Oh, Melisanda, you did a great job in the previous battle! I believe your parents must be very proud of you after seeing the battle report! Samona’s After the war, have you ever returned home?"
"Not yet."
"Then win greater feats in the next war with Carthage, and go home full of honor." Davers patted his shoulder, encouraging.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Then, Melisanda bit the bullet and met with other generals. Most of the generals present were his stepfather Felicius's comrades. When these people spoke to him in the elder's tone, he was always a little awkward.
Another person stepped forward and bowed to Daves in a special manner: "His Majesty Daves, hello!"
"Grand Chief Pollet, I didn't expect you to lead your troops to come by yourself. Thank you so much!" Daves hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, saying with joy and gratitude.
"For more than 10 years, Potentia has been protected by Dionia. With the generous assistance of your Majesty, the tribes of Potentia have overcome the difficulties many times, but we have always regretted not having I have the opportunity to repay this great kindness. I finally had this opportunity, and of course I have to go all out!"
Pollett’s words were sincere and sincere, Daves nodded at hearing, but smiled and corrected: "Dionia and Potentia are already a family, let’s not Talking about kindness and gratitude like outsiders, let us continue to fight together like brothers."
"Yes! Yes!" Pollet nodded in response.
Daves turned his gaze to the other person beside him: "Are you... the Tartoni leader of Abeni Rum?"
"Do you remember me?!" Tartoni was a little surprised.
"In the past few years, you have led Abeni Rum's team to participate in the Hades celebration in Turei, how can I not remember." Daves smiled and said sternly: "This time Thanks to your great help from Abeni Rum, we Dionia finally won the Samona War!"
"You are welcome, we are already a family, aren't we!" Tartoni responded bluntly.
Davers was taken aback, and then he laughed: "Yes! You are right! It is my slip of the tongue! At the banquet for a while, I will fine a drink!"
Then Daves met with the reinforcement leaders of Cavutini, Pentney, and Karacheni.
Immediately afterwards, Davers held a simple banquet in the big tent of the camp to welcome the reinforcement leaders of Potentia and Samona. The atmosphere was still warm.
When the banquet was over, the guards removed the leftovers coldly, then placed a map of Sicily in the center of the big tent, and the military meeting began.
Tolmeide, the staff officer of the Military Department, stood in front of the map with a wooden stick in hand, bowed slightly to Daves first, Daves nodded to him, he turned to face the crowd, and said: "Everyone, your majesty let Let me first tell you about the current situation between the enemy and us in Sicily... In Minoa, where we are, we have gathered the First Army, Second Army, Fourth Army, and Sixth Army. , Rome Reserve Brigade, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Cavalry Corps has nearly 50,000 people. Now there are 16,000 people from the Tenth Army, Botentia reinforcements, and Samona reinforcements, with a total strength of 66,000. In the lowlands west of Minoa City, the army led by Margo, the Carthage military commander, built a camp there. According to the intelligence detected by scouts and sentries in the past two days, there are about 60,000 infantry and More than seven thousand cavalry—"
"More than 7000 cavalry?!" Melishanda exclaimed, and then realizing his rudeness, he cast an apologetic look at Tolmeide.
Tolmead took the conversation and said, "Yes, Carthage has a lot of cavalry, and they are very powerful. That's why the Carthaginians have been in the mountains for the past two days and want to fight We are fighting decisively, but your Majesty has always avoided the reason for fighting with them at this time."
As Tolmeide said, he pointed the stick at a town icon not far north of Minoa on the map: "This is the town of West Kyle—Kefaloition. According to the Mountain Reconnaissance Team The soldiers reported that more than 30,000 people were stationed in the Carthage-Sikel joint army. Our 3rd Army, Lukaria Reserve Corps, and Sikel soldiers totaled 20,000, which have already been occupied. Enna, confronting them."
