At this time, Portitus reminded them: "Camillos is now the dictator of Rome!"

Yes, there is a dictator in Rome now. During this period, all the resolutions and bills in Rome must be approved by him before they can be implemented. Now the dictator Camillos is out on the expedition, and when he comes back, Rome’s The army also came back, and the crisis was naturally lifted... The veterans suddenly realized that they had an idea.

In the past, the Roman nobles had violent conflicts with civilians many times. Most of them survived the crisis by delaying tactics. After that, everything has not changed much as usual... This time, they still decided to choose this Way, and all the coincidences made them think that this is the gods blessing Rome.

So they quickly passed a proposal: abolish the interest on the debts owed by the Roman people, allow all citizens to apply for the lease of public land, and limit the area of ​​land for each person to lease, and civilians can hold important positions in the city. Considering that one of the two consuls is held by a person of civilian origin every year, the slaves who participated in the defense of the city will be free immediately...

The veterans passed the proposal, but did not immediately go out to announce to the people. Instead, they let their confidant slaves just go home, recruit diners, and let them quietly mix into the gathered people...

Everything was arranged properly, and they opened the gate of the Senate, faced the masses, and announced the proposal they had passed.

The crowd present were overjoyed, and some even shouted excitedly: "The Senate is triumphant! Rome is triumphant!"

At this time, the elders took the opportunity to announce: "Since the dictator Camilos is now in power, according to Roman law, the proposal we passed will have to be signed by him before it will work, so please wait a little longer. Three days."

The enthusiasm among the people suddenly dropped like a jar of cold water. But at this time, the clan diners among them kept shouting: "Don't worry, Camilos is facing our common people, and he has spoken for us common people many times in the Senate!"

"Yes, look at how many civilian team officers are promoted in the army he led, he will definitely sign this proposal!"

"We only need to hold on for another two or three days, and when Camillos returns, we can enjoy equal rights as the nobles!"

"Yes, you must defend Rome!"...

Although a few wise people felt that something was wrong, the atmosphere of the entire rally was inspired by aristocratic diners. Many people chose to believe the words of the elders, and some even actively asked to become soldiers to defend Rome.

When a crisis that was about to break out was vanished, the elders let out a sigh of relief. As for whether Camilos will sign the bill after he returns, they will not worry that Camilos, who is a nobleman, will dare to withstand the pressure of all the elders and sign the bill. As for whether the civilians will be deceived afterwards. Protests, or even conflicts, will be the future. Let's talk about the greatest danger in front of us.

Now, about a mile from the east, west, south, and north of Rome is occupied by the Dionian army. The soldiers of the Dionian legions simply ate lunch and took a rest After that, under the leadership of the team officers, the camp began to be built.

In addition to the two cavalry regiments, which are also responsible for observing the enemy’s situation and attacking at any time, they are reserving their energy and the palace guards must protect the safety of the king. The other six regiments plus their auxiliary personnel are also responsible for transporting the baggage. Nearly 70,000 people were busy with the labor force and even the crew of the Third Fleet, and soon the surrounding area of ​​Rome became a large construction site, and the city of Rome was even shrouded in dust.

In the area under the responsibility of the Second Army, Adoris and his comrades were digging trenches with pickaxes and shovels while talking.

At this time, someone shouted: "Is Adoris here? Someone is looking for it!"

"Who is it?" As soon as Adoris put his head out of the trench, he heard a shout of joy: "Big Brother!"

"Crotto?!" As soon as Adoris saw the person, Cloto Catacs had already ran to his side.

"Why are you here?!"

"Father asked me to come and see you."

"I'm fine. In yesterday's battle, my team killed many enemies, and none of them were injured." Adoris patted his naked chest and said proudly: "You tell my father, let him rest assured . I’m busy now, I don’t have time to talk to you, you go back first."

"Father is now busy discussing tomorrow's battle plan with staff such as Tolmeide and Printoles. I have nothing to do when I go back. Why not work here with you? "Clotokatax asked.

"Sure!" Adoris simply agreed.

Crotto Kataks immediately took off his clothes and jumped into the dirty, dark dirt pit.

"Introduce you, this is my brother Cloto Catacs." Adoris introduced to his comrades who were busy in the pit.

The source of the soldiers of the Second Army is mainly Turri citizens, some of them are from Amendorara, Bisignia, and Castellon. They all belong to the Turri region. Of course, young citizens in this area are right. The Dionian royal family knows a little bit about the situation. Some people may even have met Crotocatex when they were studying at Turíy School and knew his identity, so they were very enthusiastic with Crotocatex. X said hello.

Klotokatax greeted the recruits with the humility of meeting the veterans. This won the favor of the soldiers. Some even jokingly said: "Even if it is the First Army, there is no such thing as our unit. Brilliant, because there are two princes with us."

"Captain, give another wooden shovel!" Adoris shouted.

Team leader Timamanras did not immediately hand out the wooden shovel, but cautiously asked in a low voice: "Can your brother do it?"

"Captain, you are eccentric. Why didn't you ask me if I could bear it when I hit me with a stick." Adoris said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Your brother is not my soldier." Timaman La Stanran replied.

"Don't worry, my brother has received military training like me since he was a child, but he is not so squeamish." Adoris said, took the wooden shovel, and handed it to Cloto Kataks.

Clotokatax immediately picked up the shovel and drove away.

Timamanras looked aside for a while, and saw that the young prince was doing his job well and steadily. He was relieved, and then said loudly, "Brothers, with the help of Croto Kataks, Let's work hard, strive to complete the task earlier, leave the other teams behind, so as to get the reward of the captain, and let our team take on the important task of siege tomorrow!"

The squad leader’s words made the soldiers more enthusiastic about their work. Some even sang the battle hymn of the Dionian Army. Soon everyone sang as they worked together, and the construction site was very lively.

This situation and situation makes Cloto Kataks a little envious.

Just as he was in a daze, Adoris's voice rang in his ears: "Is it interesting to be a Legionnaire?"

Clotokatax nodded slightly.

"It’s more interesting to fight. Even if you have conflicting comrades, you will protect you desperately on the battlefield, and you will protect them desperately. At that time, everyone will become closer than real brothers. This is a...a very special feeling!" Adoris said with emotion, and patted his brother: "Don't worry, you are just 18 years old. They were still there when they were 18. Staying in the reserve team, you are already on the battlefield and can participate in such an exciting battle. When you get older, your father will definitely arrange you to serve in the legion."

Clotokatax nodded, but remembering what his father said to him usually, he was not sure about whether he could become a Legionnaire.

……………………………………

In the first battle yesterday, the Roman army was defeated. Pursued by the Dionian cavalry, Paulus, Mejos and Pantius led the remnants to Antiium.

Pantius accidentally fell down while fleeing, and was trampled by the panic-stricken soldier, causing a fracture to his right leg. If it weren't for the guards desperately rescued, he might have become a prisoner of the Dionians.

After entering the city, Paulus and Mejius were slightly settled. But when the results of the statistics came out, they were hit again: 25,000 people when they went on the expedition, now only more than 1,000 soldiers are left.

Fortunately, one after another, there have been routs returning. The two of them learned from the routs: on the way from Lavinim to Antium, many routs with wounded hands and feet wailed because they couldn't walk.

The two were anxious in their hearts. After discussion, they decided to send troops to rescue the wounded soldiers when it was dark and the Dionians had returned to camp to rest.

This is a great risk. Some soldiers even refused to go out of the city for rescue. Fortunately, the Dionian chasers have already entered Lavinim to rest, allowing Paulus and Mejos to lead the army repeatedly. Rescue the wounded soldiers one after another.

Having been busy until the early hours of the next morning, the number of soldiers in the city reached more than 12,000, but more than 5,000 of them lost their combat effectiveness due to injuries, even if the doctors of Antium were gathered for treatment , Is still a drop in the bucket, and soldiers continue to die in pain in wailing...

Paulus and Mejius had nothing to do with this. What's more, both of them and the soldiers were exhausted to the extreme at this time, and they almost fell asleep on the ground.

I slept until dawn. Paulus woke up and it was almost noon. He soon received the first bad news: nearly 400 wounded soldiers died in the second half of the night.

It made Paulus, who was already in a bad mood, worse. The bread chewed into his mouth and was completely tasteless. At this time, Mejius hurriedly came to him: "The scout we sent out discovered that Lavigne was originally occupied. The Dionians of Tom are gone."
