lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

"When Pantius arrives, if the forces of the Dionians on the opposite side don't change much, maybe we can fight a battle..." Paulus said uncertainly.

It didn't take long before Villitre's army arrived.

After listening to Paulus briefly introducing the situation, this former military and political officer, Pantius, who was older than Paulus, seemed a little impatient: "What are you waiting for?! All of Onia’s army landed ashore, destroyed the surrounding towns and attacked Rome?! Now is our only chance to defeat the Dionians, we must not miss it! Attack! We must attack now!!"

Neither Paulus nor Mejus raised any objections, because if they didn't want to bear the huge guilt, this was indeed the only chance!

Although the number of Dionian troops lined up on the far coast has exceeded 25,000, there are 7,500 in Antiium, 8,000 in Sartnikum, and 10,000 in Villitre. The Roman army’s The total force also exceeds 25,000, and it is completely capable of fighting.

The Dionians can’t increase their troops any more, they must hurry up to fight! After the three reached a consensus, they immediately began to act: Antiium and Sutnikum's troops have already been lined up, and Villitre's forces quickly lined up immediately to the right of Sartnikum's troops... …Soon, the huge Roman army began to advance.

…………………………………

The Romans are finally here! Standing in front of the army formation, Amintas saw the dust and smoke in the distance, and finally smiled, and he said jokingly: "I knew that the Romans had come so late, so the Second Army shouldn't have appeared in the array. In."

"Do you think the Romans are stupid? We have been on the ground for so long, and there are fewer than 20,000 troops here?! Everyone knows, there must be an ambush here!" Matonis retorted immediately. road.

"Finally can fight the Romans!" Lizaru's eyes flashed with excitement. He had heard before that the Military Ministry had always paid more attention to this Latin city-state in central Italy. The last time he led his army from the coast The sneak attack did not feel any special, but in the two days of conversation with Amintas, he learned that the Romans’ combat effectiveness was indeed not weak, and their tactics were quite similar to those of the Dionian Army, so he was very Looking forward to fighting against the Romans.

"We should go back and prepare to fight!" Ryders reminded, looking at the long red line looming in the dust and fog in the distance.

Amintas immediately paid a military salute to the others and solemnly said: "Hades bless, victory belongs to the kingdom!"

"Victory belongs to Dionia!"

"We will win!"

The commander of the Second Army, Matonis, the commander of the Third Army, Lizaru, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Corps, Leides, and the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Corps, Kuchius, also saluted in response, and then galloped and returned to the army. , Notify the team officers to reorganize the queue and prepare for the battle.

The First Dionian Corps is located in the middle, with the Second Corps and the Third Corps on the left and right sides. The First and Second Cavalry Corps are located behind the two wings. The total strength is about 27,000 and the entire army is long. Four miles. This is one of the most common formations, and it shows the confidence of the legionnaires participating in the war in their own soldiers, because they believe that their own side surpasses the other in terms of number, morale, or combat effectiveness, and there is no need for surprises to reduce the gap.

Amintas came from the rear of his legion, watching the soldiers make the final preparations for the battle, and the soldiers hurriedly came: "Legion commander, your majesty!"

Amintas hurriedly turned his horse's head, and saw more than two hundred horses galloping from behind. The first Daves was wearing a golden armor, a black cloak, and a golden helmet with black feathers fluttering. With the wind.

The two extremely strong riders on either side behind him each held a big flag.

One of the rods is a silver-white double-stranded fork wrapped in a black ribbon. The double-stranded splayed diagonally at the top is tightly bound by a golden crown of poplar branches, which belongs to King Daves. Scepter.

The other shot is much bigger. At the top of it is a golden statue of Hades, and underneath it is a crosspiece with golden statues such as Tanathos, the three judges of the underworld, the nemesis, the three-headed dog of hell, and Charon. , They are all subordinates of Hades, and they are also symbols of the Legion. For example, the statue on the top of the flag held by the Legion Brigade is the **** of death, and the statue on the top of the company flag is the goddess of nemesis..., there is another one below the flagpole. The longer crosspieces are no longer inlaid with any statues, but are pendants with some golden small round cards. These disks have heads. They are all enshrined in the Hall of Valor in the main temple of Turi Ihadis. Heroes of the Kingdom of Dionian, such as Dracos, Spitt, and Sobokos... This is the flag representing the army of the Kingdom of Dionian. It is like a small tree made of gold, swaying as it moves forward. The golden discs collided with each other, making a pleasant sound, as if the heroic spirits were whispering...

Amintas immediately drove forward and respectfully saluted: "Your Majesty!"

Davers gave a military salute, and then said calmly: "We are here to be the audience and do not interfere with your command."

Amintas thought he had heard it wrong, but seeing Daves’ serious expression on his face, he hurriedly said with joy: "Thank your majesty for your trust!" Before this battle, several legion commanders discussed. Unanimously elected Amintas with the deepest qualifications as the commander-in-chief of this battle. This is the first time that Amintas has independently commanded a battle consisting of multiple troops in more than 30 years. Firth wouldn't let him direct.

Daves smiled slightly. He had listened to Plintors’ report on the way here. When there were more soldiers than the opponent and there were far more cavalry than the opponent, even with the influence of past life history, he Nor does it think that the Romans will win.

When Daves and his party came to the rear of the array, Matonis, Lizaru, Ryders, and Kutchius all came to see him after hearing the news, and Daves encouraged them one by one.

The surrounding soldiers were very excited when they heard that King Dafus had arrived. They were unable to leave the place because of military law, so they turned to salute him and cheered.

Soon, the cheers spread throughout the army: "King Dafus wins victory!!!"

"Your Majesty Wansheng!!!"

……

Amidst the tide of cheers, Patroclus, the commander of the 1st Legion, looked back frequently, and it was a long-term battle that he had an impulse, wishing to start fighting right away, so that his position would be prominent. , The distinguished father-in-law can see his abilities with his own eyes.

As for Adoris in the second legion, he was eager to try, hearing the arrival of his adoptive father, he suddenly felt nervous.

One mile away, Paulus, Mejos, and Pantius, who were directing the Roman soldiers to advance, suddenly heard the thunderous cheers erupting from the army formation on the opposite side of Dionia. She was worried about the enemy's high morale.

As the distance gets closer, Roman nobles like Paulus, Mejos, and Pantius, who have received Greek higher education since childhood, can vaguely hear the content of the cheers: "Your Majesty Daves wins ……"

Everyone is unanimously discolored: Is the King of Dionia here? ! ! The invincible magic king of Dionia? ! !

Due to the war between Rome and Dionia during this period, the Romans began to earnestly understand the information of the Kingdom of Dionia. Of course, this is more about the rumors of King Dionia, who was born as a mercenary. Since coming to Great Greece more than ten years ago, the king of the Kingdom has repeatedly used weak enemies and strong, and has won many battles. He led only a thousand mercenaries to start. In just ten years, he created the powerful Dionysian. Ya Kingdom, this is simply a miracle! Now the person who created this miracle may be ahead, how can this not make these Roman generals nervous!

Especially, Mejius, who is located in front of the middle of the army, can clearly see that the two golden flags held high behind the enemy's formation are extremely dazzling in the sun, and even make him feel a little bit weak in his legs.

But the army has been deployed and the soldiers are advancing, how can they shrink at this critical moment! What's more, none of Dionian’s past victories came from Rome. These three Roman generals who have not yet fought against the Dionian army believe that the brave Roman soldiers are the same as those of the city-states and races that have lost to the Dionian army in the past. The fighters are different, and they must believe so firmly at the moment.

So the bugle was sounded again.

The high-pitched bugle not only excites the soldiers, but also drives away the anxiety of the generals.

Daves stood quietly behind the army formation, looking at the Roman army ahead, but a slight surge in his heart: Although it is different from the Roman army seen in TV and movies in the previous life, it is For the first time in his life, he saw the Roman army. These Roman soldiers who had conquered the entire Mediterranean in the previous life were holding long shields and stabbing guns. The entire army was like a burning fire, quickly sweeping toward the Dionian army. Come; while the Dionian army is still in place, silent like a towering mountain, and the color of the armor and shield is like a cold night, which makes people shudder. This red and black, the color is so distinct, what kind of **** and heroic sparks will collide on this land.

Davers subconsciously touched his chin with his hand.

As the Romans approached, the roars were thunderous, and the ground trembled. Even the hip horses of Daves and the crowd watching the battle began to feel uneasy. They shook their limbs and kept beating. Ringing nose.

Klotokattax, who is about to witness the first large-scale battle in his life, clenched his fists and looked nervous, but he was still trying to open his eyes wide, and looking at him motionlessly, it gave him a lot of psychological pressure. Roman army.
