Only then did Daves walk out of the big tent with worrying eyes on his son's back. He stood there for a while, but when he looked back, he saw some young staff members showing admiring expressions. His thoughts changed. , Then smiled and said: "Who else wants to participate in the battle?"
"Me!"
"Me!"
"And me!"
Several young people hurriedly said.
Davers waved his hand: "Hurry up and fight!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" These young staff members happily rushed out of the big account.
Davers smiled and said encouragingly to the staff members who were still in the account class: "These little guys, they are too young to understand that this is the head of our entire army. Our efforts will determine the entire battle. Success or failure! So, lads, in order to win this victory, let us continue to work!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" The staff's restless heart was temporarily soothed by Daves.
"Your name is Clonisus, an Amendorara, from the First Legion?" Daves pointed to one of the young men and said.
"Yes, your majesty, your memory is so good!" The young man was surprised.
"You are responsible for receiving battle reports and enemy information for me, and report to me in a timely and accurate manner!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Your name is Eritsius, from Castellon, from the Second Legion, right?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"You are responsible for marking the map."
"Yes!"
"Your name is Acinarus, Crotone, from the Fourth Army?"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"You are responsible for recording and conveying my orders."
"Okay!"
"And you...you...you..." Daves called the other staff members accurately, and saw them all flattered, and said with a smile: "You will be responsible for recording and analysis. Please feel free to tell me about the situation, find any abnormalities or have any suggestions!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!!"
The staff members who caused the commotion due to the departure of Tolmeide and Croto Kataks resumed their intense and meticulous military work, and they even worked harder than before.
Davers looked at them busy, but his mood fluctuated a little.
At this moment, Hernipolis, who didn’t know when he went out, walked into the big tent again, came to Daves, and whispered: “Martius sent 30 court guards to guard Croto’s Safe."
Davers glanced at him, his heart was completely settled, he lightly tapped the map with his hand, and then said loudly: Asinarus, you immediately ask the messenger to inform the engineering battalion in this large camp , The heavy battalion... and all the supporting personnel are immediately transferred to the rear line of the Second Legion on standby! "
"Yes!" Asinarus hurried out of the tent.
Although Daves boldly transferred the four battalions stationed at the base camp to participate in the battle, it was indeed an adventure. Only two battalions remained at the base camp. No matter how powerful the fighting force was, they could not completely defend against such a large camp. Yingpan, so this transfer order issued by Daves is to be on the safe side, especially the engineers and skilled craftsmen he treasures can't be harmed in any way.
Next, Daves gave another order: "Eritusus, you can check the latest news about Epithenis, confirm his position again, and then calculate his current approximate speed based on his marching speed. Location."
"Yes!"

Tolmeide felt a bit of a headache when he was out of a big account. This is of course not because he is about to command a force of nearly 10,000 people, although he has never commanded a force of more than 1,000 people before. But after all, he has decades of experience in the military career, and since he joined Dionia and entered the General Staff of the Ministry of Military Affairs, he has been working hard to improve himself: a thorough understanding of Dionia’s past battles, familiarity and thoroughness. Dionian’s military system and tactical tactics, and further efforts to envisage future military reforms and development... Tolmeide admits that he is inferior to Plintors in military talent, but he believes that he is also worthy of a staff. Officer this position.
What he worries about is Cloto Kataks next to him. Although Daves did not say "let him take care of his son", if everyone is recognized, he will inherit the throne of Daves in the future. His Royal Highness experienced danger, injury, or... He didn't think he would have a better life in Dionia in the future.
By the time the 30 court guards arrived at Cloto Kataks, Tolmeide had already had an idea. He said with a serious expression: "His Royal Highness, this time going to intercept the enemy is related to our whole The success or failure of the battle is related to the life and death of the entire army, so it is very important! You are not a member of other brigade, you have not trained with them, and there is no tacit understanding of combat, so I will not rank you in the forefront of the army, and It is placed in the back line. Once the front line cannot withstand the enemy's attack, or the enemy wraps around from the flanks, I will let you lead the palace guard to block their attack and buy time for other troops!"
Although Croto Kataks is very young, but with Daves’ long-term and careful teaching, he is not energetic, and he also knows that his sudden joining has made Tolmeide a little worried, and Tolmeide said It makes sense, so he immediately nodded in response: "Yes, Lord Commander!"
Tolmeide used to have less contact with Cloto Kataks, and didn't know him well. Seeing this young man so sensible, he was relieved, and at the same time he liked the prince greatly.
The group went straight out of the northwest gate of the camp, and soon there was a sound of "rumbling" horseshoes behind them... After receiving the instructions, the two cavalry regiments had arrived quickly.
"Tor... Commander, the 1st (2nd) Cavalry Corps has been ordered to arrive!"
Tolmeide looked at Leides, who often talked and laughed together, and glanced at Kutchius next to him. At this time, he did not have the thought of joking, but said solemnly: "Two The commander of the legion, an 8,000-strong reinforcement army from Rome is coming from the west. Your Majesty has asked us to stop, and we must not let the enemy disrupt our siege plan! Please rectify your troops first, and wait for other troops to arrive. , Set off together."
The two captains replied repeatedly, although they all saw Croto Kataks next to Tolmeide, they were surprised, but did not ask, but turned around and ordered the team officers to gather, Gather the cavalry.
After a while, four infantry brigades arrived one after another.
Clotokatax saw that there was an officer of Adoris among the group captains who came to report. He couldn't help but feel happy: I heard his father say "father and son soldiers in battle" before, but I didn't expect this time. I can fight with Big Brother!
But on such occasions, of course Croto Kataks would not be able to find Adoris again.
After the team gathered, Tolmeide immediately led the team and set off. It didn’t take long for them to reach the west of the southwest corner of the Roman wall. The two garrison groups of the Fourth Army, notified by the messenger, also arrived quickly. There are currently six infantry battalions in the army led by Tolmeide, four of which are heavy infantry battalions and two light armored battalions. The light armoured brigade stayed in the camp.
Learning from the reconnaissance rider that the enemy is still a mile away, Tolmid breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Dionian’s Chinese army camp occupies a large area. The Romans detoured from the outside, and he led the troops directly. The inside line, even though it started late, was still ahead.
Tolmeid immediately began to arrange the army formation: he placed a heavy infantry group from the 4th, 5th, and 6th Corps on the left, center, and right of the front row of the army, and the 4th and No. The other brigade of the Sixth Army is located in the back row, the second brigade of the Second Corps is located in the back row of the center, and the first and second cavalry regiments are located on the left and right wings. The length of the entire center formation will be determined according to the situation of the enemy army. Longer or shorter.
Tolmeide arranged a simple formation, but for such a tens of thousands of troops hurriedly put together, the simpler the formation, the more advantageous it is for them to fight.
Infantry and cavalry quickly began to line up under the command of the team officers. Croto Kataks and the court guards were just in the last row of the second legion’s brigade. During the process, he saw Adoris, Adoris was also surprised that his younger brother appeared here, but the brothers only met for a moment, and quickly followed the instructions to go to where they should stand.
As soon as Dionia's army was lined up, he saw that the Roman army had appeared in the distance. Tolmid did not wait for the Roman army to come, but directly ordered the whole army to advance.

Yesterday Paulus and Mejius led the army all the way east, passing by Sartnikum and Villitre, and entered the Alba Lake area at dusk, before stopping their advance and letting the army be stationed. Shooting spies to detect the situation of the Dionians, while Mejos leads people to visit all the villages and towns in the area overnight, hoping that the Latin compatriots in this area can support them, fight the invaders, and rescue Rome.
The next day, many Latin warriors came to the Alba area one after another. According to Paulus's statistics, there were a total of 3,000 people. It is indeed the first Latin area to be conquered by Rome, and the relationship with Rome is also the best. Intimacy, but this is the best effort the Alba Latins can do.
The number of Roman reinforcements increased to more than 8,000, but the two generals diverged.
Paulus believes: According to various sources of intelligence, the Dionians are already attacking the city with all their strength, and Rome is in danger. They should take advantage of the Dionians to throw most of their soldiers into the siege. , Without breaking the city, launching a fierce attack on the Dionians from behind will surely defeat the enemy's offensive and save Rome!
