Axirita and Gaba were very excited after listening. This is what they are best at and want to do.

Phoebedas was silent. In his mind, he didn't fully agree with Dionysius' plan, but he also suddenly realized that Sparta might really learn how to attack the city like Syracuse.

At this time, Dionysius said in a negative test: "Before we attack Crotone, let's see how Asprostum responds to the next thing... "

………………………………

In the city of Asprostum, Felicius was comforting more than 500 Legionnaires who had been exchanged by Dionia with more than 500 Lockley prisoners. There is a great regret in his heart, because he failed to change back the commander of the Fifth Legion, the veteran of the Dionian Senate, Dracos, and even Dionysius, the commander of the First Brigade of the Fifth Legion, Busy. The important leader of Nia, Bream, who is also the senator of the Senate, also did not release, but insisted on a one-to-one exchange of prisoners.

Philipsius noticed that the soldiers being replaced were all Brutis from the Fifth Army. Since the Fifth Army was at the end of the retreat, the Fifth Army was captured the most, but he did not go down. Think carefully.

Actually, Dionysius deliberately released these Brutis, and in the presence of other captured Greek soldiers and Lucanian soldiers in Dionia, he released the Brutis with an air of affection. , Even he planned to release some Dionian Legion soldiers who had been observed by intelligence personnel and found resentment in a few days.

Feirisius reorganized these 500 soldiers into the Fifth Army. Although he felt regretful in his heart, he was also a little relieved, because half of the soldiers who returned were Bisignians, Bisini Ya is the most determined union of the Bruti tribes in the Bruti region that relies on the alliance. Since Bruti merged into the alliance, it has never had any riots, and it has been unfavorable to the tribes formulated by the Senate for the Bruti region. There is no objection to the bill, and Felicius has a good relationship with Bajilippi, so he can come back more than the Signians, and he feels better.

At this time, the messenger hurried over: "Your Excellency Commander, the commander of the Epithenis legion, please go up to the city head immediately. What the Syracuse people are doing outside the city prevents him from being the master. You decide."

After listening, Felicius was taken aback.

…………………………………

Dracos woke up from his nightmare.

Since he led the first brigade to intercept the enemy's cavalry and was heavily surrounded, he led the team to fight to the death, and was eventually pierced by the enemy's javelin through his lungs and fell to the ground. Although he was treated by Dr. Siracusa, he had a high fever, sometimes unconscious and sometimes awake.

At this moment, when he tried to open his dry and heavy eyelids, he heard a stern scream, but someone beside him yelled in grief, "Don't come! Don't come! Asinu is here, begging you Bless them..."

What's the matter? Dracos tried hard to open his eyes. The phantom image in front of him gradually became clear. He found himself lying on the ground mixed with stone and mud. A hundred meters in front of him stood a city. The look of the city was very familiar to him— Asprostum.

Why are you here? His mind was so dizzy that he couldn't remember it at all. He wanted to stand up on the ground, but found that his hands and feet were tied behind him by ropes, and he couldn't use any force at all.

He struggled hard for a few times, but it didn't help. Instead, the sharp pain from the wound made him almost faint again.

Obviously, the person next to him saw his movement and said in surprise: "Captain Dracos! Captain Dracos, are you awake?!"

"Who...who are you? What...what's going on?..." Dracos asked weakly with his dry lips open.

"Report to the commander of the legion. I am Etulu, the third squadron, the fourth squadron, and the first squadron of the fourth corps. The Siracusas took dozens of captured soldiers of our fourth corps, and You were escorted to the city of Asprostum, **** everyone’s hands and feet, drove stakes next to everyone, tied the tied ropes to it, and sent people to the city to speak and tell They said,'Here are you and the captured soldiers of the Fourth Legion.' Then, the Syracuse’s army retreated a hundred meters, but whenever the comrades in the city rushed out... when they rushed out to save us, these damned The Syracuses will... will use javelins and bows at them... shoot them..." At this point, Etulu could not cry.

When he cried, the other tied soldiers also felt sad.

What? ! When Dracos heard this, he was suddenly anxious. He endured the severe pain and leaned on his shoulders to support his body abruptly. Excessive force made his eyes black and his head dizzy. He panted heavily and tried his best to control his shaky body... After a while, he finally knelt on the ground steadily.

When he opened his eyes again, what appeared in front of him was a dozen corpses with arrows and javelins studded in them. The closest deceased was no more than one meter away from him. Looking at the gray face, Dracos recognized him: Haggek, a soldier of the Fifth Army, a young Bruti from the small tribe of Cosenza, with a stubborn and stubborn character. When he first entered the Fifth Army, he repeatedly violated military regulations and was punished by the demanding Dracos many times, but he repeatedly refused to accept it. One time he collided with Dracos on the training ground. In the end Dracos bet against him on wrestling and beat him cleanly. Haggai overcame his anger, trained hard since then, and performed well. Dracos eventually promoted him to the team leader, but he did not expect to die here... and died for him!

An anger surged to his heart, and the cry of the soldier next to him made him even more irritable, and he roared: "Why cry? What is there to be afraid of death? We will meet in the Hall of Valor!"

………………………………

Felisius looked at the row of people tied down on the ground under the city with a solemn expression. He did not expect that he would see this scene when he went up to the city: "You...you are sure that those people are Dracos And captured soldiers?"

The usually flamboyant and flamboyant Epithenis also frowned at this moment, with a heavy voice: "Before I came up, the soldiers... have confirmed with their lives! I now strictly forbid the soldiers to leave the city privately. , But there are not only Dracos, but also soldiers of the Fourth Army. Look at those people under me. They all want to rescue their teammates, neighbors, and possibly relatives... So they all hope to send the first Fourth, the Fifth Legion, so that even if the enemy pushes up, it can be resisted and successfully rescued Dracos and other soldiers."

Felicius looked at the shocking corpses of nearly a hundred corpses that stretched down the city to the captives, and the phalanx of the Syracuse army that seemed to be resting 100 meters behind the captives.

He looked back at the soldiers of the Fourth Army stationed at the head of the city, their faces were full of anger and anxiety.

Felicius' eyes finally fell on Epithenis: "What about your opinion?"

"I think we can give it a try." Epithenis hesitated for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "The Syracuses did this because they wanted us to save them. So when we were out of the city, the Syracuses We probably won’t come forward to stop them right away. We have time to form a good position, and then slowly approach Dracos and them, while blocking their attack, while rescuing Dracos...Although there are more Syracuses than us, But the terrain here is narrow, with cliffs on the left and mountains on the right. No matter how strong they are, they can’t use them, nor can they outflank our way. We...we should be able to retreat to the city safely."

Felicius was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "Since you know that the Syracuse people want us to go out of the city for rescue, you still insist on bringing troops out of the city, because the Syracuse people can really let Are we safe to return?!" Felicius said with a pained expression, and said in a hateful voice: "A few days ago, it was because everyone had a fluke that they could defeat the Syracuses, but I did not insist...the result! As a result, we failed! The coalition was defeated, and we lost more than 3,000 soldiers, which made the situation in Great Greece so bad! Hasn't such a lesson caught our attention! Dionysius is not so easy to deal with, Now that he has designed this scene under the city, he must have a plan to deal with us out of the city to save people. For the safety of Asprostum, and for the safety of the alliance, we...we can't go out of the city!"

Felicius rarely shouts to people as loudly as he does now. This is his depressive vent during this period of time, so Epithenis was also a little stunned. His face became gloomy: "Aren't we watching Watching Dracos and the soldiers being humiliated and not rescued! Don’t forget, Master Davos, when he was in Persia, he said, “Everyone in the team he leads should be as close as a family. Abandon anyone!'"

Epiteans' words lashed at Felicius's guilty heart. He pressed his hands against the battlements tightly to the crevices of the stone, and the rough gravel stabbed his palm...Although he and Dracos The relationship is average, but as the senator, the commander of the army, and the comrade in arms for many years, he has been so insulted by the enemy. He didn’t want to rescue both Dracos and the soldiers. In such a critical situation, his first consideration should be the safety of the alliance. He had failed once before, and he couldn't allow himself to make another mistake, otherwise, if there was a mistake in Asprostum, the Syracuse would be able to move forward, and he would really become a sinner of the alliance!

"Strictly guard the city, no one is allowed to leave the city, this is an order!" Felicius said firmly: "I will bear all the consequences!"
