Daves sat in the middle of the big tent, and in front of him there was a large wooden plank on which was drawn a detailed map of the city of Rome. Tolmeide led the young staff to record the report of the scout. The battle situation, and then mark it on the map with icons and numbers.

"Your Majesty, the scout found four to five hundred Roman soldiers about ten miles east of the city of Rome, probably from Fidenae..."

"Your Majesty, there are Latin city-state troops gathering 15 miles away from the southeast corner of Rome. There are now about a thousand soldiers..."

"Your Majesty, there is a Roman army in the southwest of our camp, there are about 5000 people..."

"According to the report of a messenger sent by the Third Army across the river, their scouts discovered that the colonial city of Rome, Wei Ai, had sent nearly two thousand Roman soldiers. The Truria city-states also sent two or three hundred reinforcements, and they are now rushing to Wei Ai..."

……

Daves listened to the report of the staff and looked at the map: the map was marked with red and black dots. The red dots represent the Roman army and Roman reinforcements, and the black dots represent the Dionian army. The dots mark a thousand people. You can see that the red dots are concentrated in the city of Rome, and the black dots are concentrated outside the city of Rome, enclosing the red dots, and outside the black dots, a few red dots will be added after a period of time. Converging into a larger encirclement, gradually encircling the black spots... This is a battle between encirclement and anti-encirclement, which is related to the life and death of both parties.

Davos’s expression has always remained calm, and the young staff, including Croto Kataks, seemed a little nervous as the news continued, and even Tolmeide was a little sinking. He couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, our Second Army and Fourth and Fifth Army have the best offensive. They are likely to take the lead in attacking the city, but... the Roman reinforcements Coming constantly, especially this Roman army—"

Tolmeide first pointed his finger at the flower-like pattern drawn by five red dots on the southwest of the Dionian Army Camp on the map, and then moved his finger to the north bank of the Tiber River. There are three or four red dots connected to the north of the Three Legion Barracks, saying: "And here, I am afraid it will become a big trouble for our siege army! Are we taking the first action to eliminate this Roman army first, To alleviate our few defensive forces?" Tolmid's hand finally landed on the flower-like pattern again.

Daves slightly chin his head, and then slowly said: "Tormid, your opinion is correct, but we must first understand the movement of this Roman army before we can take the correct response. Let's not panic. , The enemy is panicking, because we hold the initiative in this battle."

Davos had a hint of instruction in his tone, but Tolmead was reminded, and his expression immediately relaxed a little. And the dignified atmosphere in the big tent began to dissipate. The staff members were recording the data while discussing something in a low voice. While observing the crowd, Hernipolis wrote about the scene in the big tent at this time, Thor. Mead also shared some plans for the next battle with Daves, while Croto Kataks stood in the tent, ready to welcome the arrival of the scout.

This time the intelligence brought by the scout made him startled: "Report! The number of the Roman army in our southwest has increased to... about eight thousand people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Daves said in a deep voice: "Don't panic."

Davos calmed down the panic of Cloto Kataks with an encouraging smile, and he immediately replied: "Yes!"

After hearing this, the staff also exclaimed: "8000 people?!"

Tormid looked at the map carefully, and then said nervously: "Your Majesty, it seems most likely to be the Latin city-states such as Tustron, Aricia, and Bovillae. The reinforcements sent, they joined the Roman army!"

Daves’ expression remained unchanged, and the words still calmly said: “The place where this Roman army is located is close to Lake Alba. That area has always been the center of the Latins, although the city of Albalonga has already been The Romans ruined it, but it is said that the annual celebration of the Jupiter **** worshipped by the Latins—Latin Holidays is always held on the Alba Mountain, so there are many Latin tribes living near Lake Alba. It seems that they There is still room to send reinforcements... But this is just right, the fish are all gathered, just so we can catch them all in one go!"

Daves’ confident tone reminded Tolmeide of something. He settled a little bit, sat back on the wooden chair, thought for a while, and said with some worry: “Now, I’m worried about this one. The Roman troops will continue to march eastward and meet the Latin reinforcements in the southeast. In that case..."

"In that case, we are nothing more than mobilizing the army to rush to the southeast to intercept the enemy, but for the Romans, this means that they have already reached the outskirts of Rome, but they have to spend more time preparing and waiting. Can those Roman citizen soldiers who are worried about their homeland have this patience?" Daves said unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty, you mean...this Roman army is likely to attack us immediately!" Tolmid asked eagerly.

Daves was about to answer, and Cloto Catacs' voice sounded again: "Report, the 8,000 Roman army to the southwest of the camp is bypassing our camp and marching to the north!"

When Tolmeid heard this, he stood up immediately and said nervously and excitedly: "Your Majesty, you are right! This Roman army seems to be launching an attack on us. Their target is probably Here!"

Tolmid’s hand points to the southwest corner of the Roman wall on the map. The soldiers of the Fourth and Fifth Army are attacking the city. Behind them are the Dionian Chinese Army Camp and the West Facing the huge gap between the camp (that is, the camp of the Fourth Army), the Romans can quickly pass through here and directly attack the Dionian army that is siege.

Daves made the same judgment, so he no longer sat down on Mount Tarzan, but immediately issued an order: "Tormeide, I appoint you as the interim commander, and immediately lead the 5th Corps that stayed behind the Chinese army camp. One brigade, one brigade of the Second Army, two brigades of the Sixth Army, and the First and Second Cavalry Regiments, rush there to intercept the enemy! At the same time, I will send a messenger to notify the two garrison brigades of the Fourth Army. , Rush to meet you!"

The six infantry battalions plus the two cavalry corps approached ten thousand people. In terms of strength, they already surpassed the incoming enemy. However, Tolmeide's face was not happy, but worried. Objection: "Your Majesty, there are only two battalions of the Second Army and the Fifth Army to protect you. It is too dangerous! Moreover, two thousand soldiers can't defend such a large camp——"

"Don't worry about my safety, don't worry about the safety of the camp, the more soldiers you bring, the faster you can solve the battle, return faster, and reduce the pressure on the entire battlefield!" He said suspiciously, and then his face showed a smile: "Or you are worried that you can't command so many soldiers, so you find a reason to let me reduce it for you?"

Tolmead knew that this was Davers’s violent general, but he also understood that it meant Davers was not ready to change his mind, so he stopped persuading him, and paid a military salute to Daves in place, and responded forcefully. : "Yes, Your Majesty! Please also pay attention to your safety!"

Davers jaw head.

Tormid turned around and wanted to come out. At this moment, Cloto Kataks on the side couldn't help but exclaimed: "Father... Your Majesty, I request to participate in this battle!"

The big tent suddenly quieted down, and everyone focused on the young prince. Even Daves himself was a little surprised. Before he could speak, Tolmeide urged:" This can’t work! Your Royal Highness, this is too dangerous! The Roman army rushed to the rescue, bound to be desperate. Our strength seems to be more than the opponent, but half of them are cavalry. It is a disadvantage to confront the enemy! Prince! Your Majesty, please stay here and assist your Majesty in commanding the entire battle, and finally winning the victory over the city of Rome!"

"It's dangerous to me, isn't it dangerous to other soldiers!" Croto Catacs blushed and exclaimed excitedly: "I am a Dionian citizen! A soldier in this army! Must contribute to the entire battle, not sit here and watch other people fight, shed blood or even sacrifice!"

Crotoke’s words were from his heart. At this moment, he thought of Brother Adoris and his comrades who had been training in Turíy. At this moment, they are all fighting ahead or are about to go into battle. He I can't allow myself to be a spectator like a coward. This idea has actually been brewing since he set foot on this land, so his tone seemed a little trembling because of being too passionate.

Davers looked at his son and saw the stubbornness in his eyes. He only hesitated for a moment, and then simply said: "Go ahead."

"Your Majesty--" Tomild wanted to persuade him again. Daves waved his hand and said: "Clotto is right. Although he is my son, he is also a Dionian citizen. Of course he also wants to serve on the battlefield!"

"Thank you, father!" Cloto Kataks was excited, and feared that Tolmead would continue to persuade, so he reminded loudly: "Commander, if you don't set off, the enemy's reinforcements will be rushed to the city. !"

Seeing that Davers looked serious, Tolmead did not intend to change his mind, so he saluted the military salute again and said, "Please rest assured, your majesty!"

Davos certainly understood what he meant by "rest assured", and at this time, Croto Kataks quickly finished his military salute to him, and rushed to follow Tolmeide.
