The next day, Tapirus was awakened by the noisy shouts outside the hotel.
He got dressed, stood in front of the window, looked down, and saw hundreds of Romans gathered in front of the hotel. They waved their fists, shouted angrily, and even tried to break through the guards and rushed into the hotel.
"What are they yelling?" Tapirus asked the translator who was with him.
"These Romans are scolding us!" The translator stammered angrily: "They let us leave the city of Rome... They said that we Dionia had no right to interfere with their affairs in Rome... They said They are not afraid of Dionia, as long as we dare to send troops, they will definitely defeat us!..."
Tapilus knew that the translator did not translate directly. These angry Romans could not speak so elegantly, but he didn’t care about it at all. There was a popular saying in the Kingdom of Dionian, “Will bite Human dogs don’t bark, even if they bark fiercely."
The number of people gathered is increasing, and Tapirus is not afraid. On the contrary, he hoped that they would rush in and wound one or two of the envoys. After expanding this diplomatic issue, Rome would not end well, and Tapirus would have more mediation methods.
But Tapirus' wish is destined to be unfulfilled.
The fully armed Roman patrol rushed to disperse these people. There were some physical clashes between the two sides.
When Patrol Captain Titus Cassius saw Tapirus, his face was a little ugly. He threatened and said: "Dionians, this is the result of your request for an armistice! It's because of the armistice. Roman citizens who do not have land will vent their anger on you. I am afraid this is just the beginning, and I cannot guarantee that every patrol will arrive in time."
After listening to the translator’s translation, Tapirus pointed at the Roman people who were shouting angrily and did not want to leave, and said with a sneer: "Is that so? Why are they cursing now, "Damn nobleman," We will never allow you to take advantage of this matter, cancel the promise of land allocation to us, and turn it into public land!'..."
Cassius was speechless, even ignoring that the Envoy of Dionia was in front of him, and cursed angrily: "Damn civilians!"
Then, with a stern face, warned the envoys: "In view of the anger of the Roman civilians at you now, I hope you will all stay in the hotel these days and do not go out, otherwise something will happen and it is not our responsibility!"
That being said, before Cassius left, he sent additional soldiers in front of the hotel to protect their safety.
Are nobles and commoners...Tapirus looked at Cassius Young's long-going figure, thoughtfully...

It is very easy for Rome to inform Carthage about the Dionysian Envoys, because since the two sides established a closer military alliance two years ago, there have been dedicated Carthage envoys stationed in Rome. On the one hand, he was responsible for contacting the Roman Senate and dispatching aid supplies to Rome; on the other hand, he was to strengthen the trade between Carthage and Rome and monopolize the sales of certain commodities. It is precisely because of the full support of Carthage in the past few years that Rome has always maintained an absolute advantage in the battle against the surrounding forces. Not only has it quickly recovered its strength, but its rapid expansion has also far exceeded this period in the previous life.
When the Carthage envoy Archiega learned from the Roman military officer Paulus about the arrival of the Dionian envoys, he couldn’t help being shocked. The first thing he thought of was: the Dionians had come two years ago. On the island of Sicily, the Tannican tribe, which eliminated the Cykers secretly supported by Carthage, is now targeting Rome, which is supported by Carthage in the north of Italy?
Seeing Archiega lost in thought, Paulus asked softly: "Now the Dionians are urging us to reply. We want to know what Carthage has suggestions for this?"
"Don't reply for now, I will send someone to report back to the Carthage Senate!" Archiega said cautiously.
"Dear Archiega!" Paulus took a small step forward, lowered his head slightly, and asked in a respectful gesture: "If... I mean if Rome and Diony In the end, it did not reach a good result and caused... conflicts. Will Carthage support Rome?"
Archiega's gaze swept to Paulus, staring for a moment. As a member of the Hanno faction, he knew Hanno's conservative style well, so he said cautiously: "This is a very important issue. , I can’t answer, it must be decided by the Carthage Senate! Carthage and Dionia have been in friendly exchanges for more than ten years, and they have just renewed their friendly agreement. It is more difficult to make this decision. ! But..." Archiega showed a stern stern: "As far as I am concerned, I am willing to support you in Rome and give a good lesson to the arrogant Dionians!"

When the Roman messenger rushed to inform Camilos, Camilos was already leading his army on his way back to Rome.
After learning that Rome led the army to attack, the Tustrons not only did not resist, but opened the city gates to welcome them, expressing to Rome that they had no intention of rebelling.
The magnanimous Camilos recognized the loyalty of the Tustrons and did not let the troops into the city, but waited for the high-levels of Tusstron to swear to the gods and make promises before leading the army back.
On the way, Camilos was stunned when he heard the news from the messenger. Even though he is already a well-known Roman general in central Italy, he really doesn't know much about Dionia. He only knows that this kingdom occupies the entire southern Italy and is powerful.
The time for the rise of Dionia is too short, and this decade has been the eventful and turbulent autumn in Rome. Camillos spends most of his time on the battlefield, so there is no spare time for research. The Kingdom of Dionia far to the south.
Frius, another civilian-born military and political officer, knew poorly about Dionia, but the young and energetic he said dissatisfied: "The Senate is too cautious and should reject this Dior directly. The unreasonable request of the messenger of Nia! If Dionia dares to send an army to Latium, we will defeat it thoroughly and let the kingdom know how powerful Rome is!"
"Such an important matter is decided by the Senate, so we shouldn't worry about it." Camillos warned him: "What we need to worry about now is how to attack the Wolsey."
Frius didn’t dare to talk about it anymore. The last time he failed in the battle, if it weren’t for Camilos’s rescue, he might not be able to escape the accusation of the Senate, and Camilos still chose him regardless of the previous suspicion. As an assistant to this expedition, he was completely convinced by Camiros.
After a while, Frius said, "Well, we obeyed the order and led the army directly to Satnikum. But before changing the marching route, we must first speak to the soldiers, lest they protest again. ."
He finished speaking, only to see Camilos not answering, he was resting his chin, thinking about something.
"Camillos! Camillos!..." Frius yelled several times.
Camillos came back to his senses, his eyes were piercing, and he said in a deep voice: "No, we shouldn't go to Sartnicum, let's go to Antium!"
Frius was taken aback: "Why?"
"Now Quintus and Licinius are leading the army to besiege Satnikum, and Wolsey has also mobilized the army to guard it. Even if we rush, it will be difficult to break Sait in a short time. Tenikum, but the Senate hopes that we can occupy more of the Wolsi’s land as soon as possible...Antiium is far away from Sartnicum, but also at the back. I am afraid that we will be negligent. We will attack it. It is very likely to succeed."
Frius' eyes lit up: "Just like saving Prinister before?"
"Yes." Camilos nodded confidently.
………………………………
Four days before Camilos and his army invaded the territory of Wolsey, Dionian envoy Carrias took a boat from Poseidonia, entered the city of Naples, and then went east into Zamo In the Naishan Mountains, I came to the central town of Kautini, one of the four major races of Samona,-Kautim, met with its chief Segovanni, and expressed to him: King Dionian is against Kautini The Udine fighters frequently infringe on the serious concerns of Campania's allied territories, and hope that Kautini will not violate the covenant again, restrain his people, and ensure that similar things will not happen again.
Segovani just said lightly: "I see."
Next, he asked with a bad face: If you want him to agree to Dionian’s terms, Dionian will not be able to talk to Quinn, the leader of Nacera, a town in the southern part of Cavutini. Don’t go back and forth, let alone send the priests of Hades into his territory...
It is Dionia's established strategy to win over and assimilate Nacera, and Karias certainly cannot agree to Segowani's request.
As a result, he was left out in the cold in Kautim, and even loudly insulted and humiliated by some Kautini people. Not only did Segowani not stop this, he gloated for misfortune.
Karias returned to Poseidonia angrily, wrote a letter to the Turíy Senate, and truthfully described what happened to him and what he saw in Kautini, and made a judgment: It is very likely that the Cavutini will launch another invasion of the Campania League soon!
Daves had discussed with the Ministry of Military Affairs in advance, and Carrias’ judgment is indeed in line with the Kautini’s practice in the past two years: every time Dionia sent an envoy to condemn the Kautini’s After the aggression, the Cavutini will launch an attack on the Campania League soon.
It seems that the chief of Kautini has a rebellious psychology towards Dionia and always likes to work against him.
Therefore, after an urgent discussion with the Ministry of Military Affairs, Daves decided to immediately send the Third Army to assist the Campania Alliance to fight the upcoming Samona-Kautini tribe's invasion.
After the Third Army received an urgent order from the Ministry of Military Affairs, the commander of the Army Lizaru immediately dispatched cavalry to notify the towns in the Lucania area and issued a mobilization order to the soldiers of the Third Army.
