"But your majesty, your safety--" Olivers said with concern.
Davers waved his hand and said loudly: "My security is protected by the Self-Defense Force! What's more, this city has been conquered by our brave soldiers. I don't think there are still Romans here who have the courage to challenge the kingdom!" /
No one from the senior generals raised any more questions.
Davers faced Tamosipace again and said kindly: "Hurry up and get treatment. I hope to hear about your meritorious service again soon!"
Daves looked at the standing soldiers next to him again, waved his hand and said: "Dionia's warriors, all return to their garrison to rest, restore your abundant physical strength, and prepare for the next battle!"
At this moment, Tamosipace, who was so touched by what Daves said, could not help shouting: "Your Majesty Davers is victorious!"
The soldiers who heard Daves talking around were also excitedly shouting: "Your Majesty Daves is victorious!..."
Soon, the sound rang all over the city, and the Roman people hiding in the houses were a little frightened when they heard the deafening shout.
The courageous even looked at Davers and others who were walking in the street through the window, with hatred in their eyes.
Of course, Daves saw the sharp eyes like knives. He didn't care. Instead, he looked around leisurely and poked the ground with his feet. He clearly felt that this time Rome is still far from the Roman Empire, which is famous for its roads, bridges, and buildings in the past history. After all, Rome has just risen in central Italy at this time. It is far from building a huge road system to facilitate the rule of the entire Italy. Even the vertebral bridge on the Tiber is not a stone bridge, and Dionia has far surpassed Rome in terms of construction strength, which made Daves feel a burst of joy in his heart. He couldn't help saying, "Listen. It is said that the Romans built the entire city very ugly in order to quickly rebuild the city of Rome. Now it seems that this rumor is true."
"Yes, Your Majesty! The city of Rome is not only ugly, but the city is also ugly. Originally, there were big rivers, hills, and flat land in this area. Well planned and built, it will be a very beautiful city. As a result, It was ruined by the Romans!" Hernipolis sighed regretfully.
"Now this city belongs to Dionia, we can completely tear it down and rebuild it!" Matonis said nonchalantly.
"It seems that Martonis is very interested in rebuilding the city of Rome. After the war is over, the Senate can appoint you as the supervisor of the city of Rome." Daves said jokingly.
"No, Your Majesty, I am not interested in rebuilding the city of Rome. You should give this post to someone else." Matonis said hurriedly.
Everyone laughed.
When Davers swept away from the corner of his eyes to the corpse of a Roman citizen on the street corner, the smile on his face narrowed: "Before the siege, I asked the legions to not kill the people in the city at will after the city was breached. People, how are the soldiers performing?"
Olivers glanced at Daves’s face and said carefully: “We have repeatedly emphasized that the soldiers try not to act on the people in the city, but some people don’t know good or bad and attack us actively, so there’s no way. In fact, the main cause of their injuries and deaths was that after seeing us broke the city, they fled in panic, pushed and trampled on each other, and caused a lot of casualties in their square..."
Of course, Daves understands that after the enemy’s city is captured, there can be no civilians without death or injury, otherwise, how to make the people of the enemy country frighten them. He just wants to warn these army commanders, restrain the soldiers, and don't want to come: "The Roman army is still on its way. The more Roman people we have alive, the better it will be for the next battle...Have these Romans returned to their houses?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, some people are unwilling to walk, and are lying in the square. We...have to take some coercive measures!" Matonis said.
Daves nodded. He had already stepped into the Roman Forum. This wide and flat site paved with white slabs was almost red at the moment, and pools of blood continued to reflect in. In Davers's eyes, he frowned, watching the soldiers clearing the square and dragging away corpses, and then said: "How do you deal with these corpses?"
Matonis pointed in front of his finger and said indifferently: "Drag to the square outside the East City to cremate."
Davers pondered for a moment, and said: "Bring some Romans when cremation, let them confirm the identity of the deceased, and then take the ashes to the relatives of the deceased."
Matonis was taken aback, thought this was a bit troublesome, and wanted to argue again, Olivers stopped him and interjected: "Okay, Your Majesty, I will immediately send someone to notify Amintas who is in charge of this matter. "
Daves's group of people went straight through the square to the north. He saw twelve copper pillars that could be hugged by one person, standing at intervals on the edge of the square. He stepped forward and looked up.
Each copper pillar is engraved with handwriting, maybe it has been rusty after years of wind and rain.
"Your Majesty, what is written on it?" Henipolis asked curiously when he saw Daves could see.
"This is Rome's 12-bronze table law. The above records are the laws of the Romans. Rome, like our Dionian, is a country that obeys the law very much!" Daves sighed with emotion. He remembered that when he was studying law in university in his previous life, Rome’s "Twelve Bronze Table Law" was an important foundation for understanding the formation of Western law. He did not expect to see the real thing today.
He stretched out his hand and touched the cold copper pillar. The past and the present were intertwined at this moment. He said with emotion: "This is the most precious treasure of the Romans!"
Olivers kindly said: "Unfortunately, this precious wealth of the Romans has now belonged to us Dionia!"
Henipolis glanced at the copper pillars with greedy eyes. Although he did not know the Latin script, he had decided to buy a literate Latin slave and copy all the above clauses.
"Let's go." Daves led them up the steps, pushed open the heavy wooden door, and entered the power center of Rome-the Senate.
"This is the Senate in Rome? It's much smaller than our large conference hall!" Hernipolis looked around and said with a slight disdain.
Daves did not speak, but was also carefully examining this building that frequently appeared in the literary works, historical materials, and film and television works of the previous life, compared with the Turiyi Conference Hall, which can accommodate a thousand people. , This ring-shaped venue can only accommodate two or three hundred people, and the indoor facilities are outdated, which made him suddenly realize: this is no longer the history of the previous life, and the Kingdom of Dionian he established in this life will surely replace Rome. Location, that amazing Caesar and the politician Octavian who really built the Roman Empire will no longer exist.
Thinking of this, he strode towards the center of the venue.
The guards have set up wooden tables and chairs at the place where the Roman elders gave their speeches, and placed a map of the city of Rome.
Martonis and Olivers quickly sat on the wooden chairs.
It didn’t take long for Amintas, Lizarru, Geogris, Trotiras, Epithenis, Ledes, Cuzius, Tormid, Midolad S, Plintors, Izam, as well as Stacekdas, the general manager of all medical camps this time, and Oropus, the general manager of all engineering camps...all arrived one after another.
"Let's talk about the losses of the legions in this siege battle." Daves scanned the crowd, and then said in a deep voice.
After Daves said this, the faces of several legion commanders were a little ugly.
After reporting by the commanders of the corps, it was Davers’s turn to look bad, because the army had more than 5,000 casualties, of which the 4th Army had the most casualties, followed by the 1st and 2nd Army. The fighting was different. There were 2,000 people killed directly, and the death rate was much higher than before.
Although Daves expected that this time the siege would have more casualties, he did not expect it to be one-twelfth of the army's casualty rate. The six legions had almost 1,000 casualties for each legion, which is not Count the slightly wounded soldiers.
Davers suppressed the shock in his heart and asked Stacekdas: "How is the situation with these wounded soldiers?"
Staceikdas looked solemnly: "The situation is very bad! Up to now, 450 people have died because of ineffective treatment, and there are 232 severely burned soldiers who can survive the fever these few days. And the infection is still uncertain...There are more than 1,000 soldiers who have been severely injured by falls, stabbings, slashes, smashes, drowning...It is impossible to recover in a short period of time, or even if they recover, they cannot live like normal people... "
After listening to the words, Daves felt depressed and uncomfortable. He knew that the main cause of such heavy casualties was actually himself. If he hadn't forcibly demanded that Rome be captured within a day, the legions would not continue to attack like this regardless of sacrifices. , But he could not help but sternly said: "More than 5000 people! This is usually the population of a small Greek city-state, and it was abandoned in the battle of this day! Soldiers trust us and fully implement every issue we promulgate. We must take care of them and lead them out, and we must lead them home as completely as possible!"
Speaking of this, Daves slapped the table fiercely: "But some of you don’t use their brains at war, and don’t care about the lives of soldiers. If you continue to fight like this, the entire corps will be destroyed! I see. How do you face the parents, wives and children of the soldiers who died in battle when you go back!"
Daves' sharp eyes swept over the sitting legionnaires, especially for Amintas and Olivers.
Without the help of the siege equipment and the coordinated attack of the friendly forces, Amintas deliberately wanted to break through the city wall with his own power. He actually invested almost all his troops and continuously launched a fierce attack on the defenders of the city. The first legion with the strongest combat effectiveness suffered a lot.
