Quintus and Frius were too tired to catch their breath when they met Mejus who hurried over.

"What did you say?! Rome has fallen?!" The two generals seemed to be hit hard, staggering and almost falling.

"How is this possible?! The walls of Rome are so tall! There are so many people in the city! Haven't even held it for a day?!!!..." Frius couldn't believe this fact.

And Quintus stepped forward and grabbed Mejos’s clothes, and asked angrily: "What are you doing in the Senate?! What are you doing?! Didn’t you do anything?! Just watched the enemy attack. Our city?!......"

"I did it! Of course we did it! We did our best to summon reinforcements and attacked the enemy desperately, trying to relieve the pressure on the defenders in the city... For this reason, our army was Rout, even...Paulus was killed..."

Meggius defended with a painful expression, but the man in his 5s cried helplessly like a child: "...But the Dionians have made many siege machines that we have never seen before. They ...They even built dozens of pontoons with warships on the Tiber...and their soldiers are very elite, but we! We...we...not just the city of Rome! Even the strong citizens of the surrounding allied states are We were taken to Helniki, how could we have been able to fight!!"

Mejius's questioning in turn left Quintus and Frius speechless, feeling guilty.

"Go! Let's take back Rome at once!" Quintus roared suddenly, and walked out angrily.

Frius was taken aback for a moment, and followed him.

Mejius immediately stopped them and repeatedly persuaded them: "I understand your feelings, but your army is less than 10,000, so you will attack the Dionians. It's too risky! I still wait for the dictator Camelu. When Lord Sri Lanka leads the army, let’s attack again!"

"Although we have only 6,000 people, the enemy has just rushed to occupy the city of Rome, and the loss must be great. The order in the city must be chaotic. There is definitely no defense against us, just like Camilos' raid on Prinister. It may succeed!" Quintus retorted loudly.

Mejus continued to persuade: "Dioniians are different from Wolsi and Massi. They are more disciplined and will not make such mistakes! Moreover, there are dozens of people from here to Rome. Lidi, you are very tired from the long journey, do you still have the strength to fight when you arrive in Rome!"

Despite Meguius's persuasion, Quintus insisted not to listen and called him a "coward afraid of death". Under his insistence, Frius, who was a little shaken, naturally acted with him.

"Damn Claudius' stupid donkey!" Mejius stomped and scolded, saying that the clans of Claudius were stubborn and stubborn, and today can be regarded as an experience.

Mejius looked helplessly at the two figures disappearing in the distance, squatting down on the ground dejectedly, after a long while he recovered, suddenly remembered something, and immediately turned and ran towards the Senate in Prinister City. .

At this time, the Roman masses who lived in the villages outside Rome and fled here before the war rushed to the place where the army stayed in batches, crying to the soldiers.

The news of "Rome Lost" blew through the entire army like a sudden violent storm. The soldiers were shocked and shouted, "Going to repel the Dionians and retake Rome." The scene became It's very chaotic.

In fact, even if Quintus and Frius wanted to act safely at this time, it was already impossible, and the entire army was almost out of control.

But this was exactly what Quintus wanted. He stood on a high place, waved his fists, and shouted at the soldiers: "Citizens of Rome, our home is being ravaged by the enemy! Our loved ones are suffering. Humiliation! Did you hear that, they shouted for help! Now only you can save them! Take up your weapons, move on, drive away the enemy, save Rome, you will be the heroes of the people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers waved their spears and shouted angrily: "Save Rome! Save Rome! Save Rome!!!..."

The thunderous roar circulated outside the city of Prinister, and the morale of the soldiers was soaring. They forgot their fatigue, and under the leadership of Quintus and Frius, they rushed towards the city of Rome.

………………………………………

After visiting the medical camp, Cloto Kataks did not smile with excitement, but felt a little heavy.

Daves looked in his eyes and thought it was a good thing, but he didn't say much, it was up to Cloto Kataks to experience and comprehend everything by himself.

After returning to the Roman Senate, which temporarily became the command center of the Dionian army, he immediately summoned Tapirus.

Tapilus had been to Rome before, so Daves did not leave him in Ostia, but asked him to come to Rome with the army, ready to consult him at any time.

"Congratulations to your Majesty for winning the great city of Rome!" When Tapirus saw Daves, he immediately congratulated him respectfully.

"The capture of Rome is indeed worth celebrating, but being too indulged in this victory may cause our army to get into trouble in the future." Davers said faintly, and then pointed to the wooden chair next to it: "Sit down quickly, Tapirus, can you tell me what enemies we will face here next?"

Hearing the question raised by Daves, although Tapirus did not understand the purpose of the wise king's sudden raising of this question, it was obviously related to calling him. His thoughts turned sharply and he said in deep thought: "The army that is returning from Rome, the Latin city-states surrounding Rome, and... well, the Etruscan confederacy of Rome...?"

Davos did not respond immediately, but continued to ask: "How much do you know about Etruscans?"

Etruscan? ! Tapirus probably understands what Daves wants him to do. As an official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, his department has a lot of information about the surrounding area of ​​Rome, and some are even classified. Most of them are led by Alistairs. It’s collected by the intelligence department of the People’s Republic of China for diplomats to learn and understand.

Tapirus immediately said modestly: "Your Majesty, I have some understanding. The Etruscans are a large force in central and northern Italy. It is composed of 12 important city states. The Asian Alliance has long been enemies with the Romans, but the Celtic invasion a dozen years ago greatly weakened the power of the Etruscans, causing the Etruscan city-states north of the Tiber River to continue in recent years. Conquered by the Romans..."

Daves nodded, leaned back, and said in a serious tone: "Although we have captured Rome, the real elite army of Rome is coming soon, and we must do our best to deal with their attack. However, if the Etruscans on the north bank of the Tiber River once again responded to the demands of the Romans and attacked again, it would put us in a dilemma of fighting on both sides.

But... the Etruscans used to be very glorious, and even Rome was ruled by them for a long time. Now the Romans are going to be their masters, asking them to obey the call and obey the orders of Rome, I think These Etruscan city-states that were conquered by Rome are certainly not reconciled. Therefore, I need a diplomat to go to Kesreira, Volzi and Tarzuna to bring to them our Dionian friendly will. We are willing to form an alliance with them to help them regain the Romans. Land taken away by people.

It’s just that we didn’t have formal contacts with the Etruscans before. I can’t guess what kind of attitude they will take to treat the envoys we sent, so this time the envoy is very risky. ……"

Tapirus immediately stood up, and impassioned to Daves: "Your Majesty, the first day I entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, I knew that a diplomat is a position that requires risk. For the sake of this expedition, for the sake of your majesty. You, I am willing to go to the Etruscan city-state and do my best to accomplish my mission!"

Davers stared at him approvingly, and for a moment he said with relief: "I'm very lucky to be able to buy you at the beginning and be able to give you freedom. You will definitely become an example for all Dionia to free slaves. !"

Tapilus' heart beats wildly, and immediately made a sincere response: "Your Majesty, it is my greatest fortune to be your slave!"

"Okay! Okay!..." Daves smiled and nodded, then said: "In this battle, we captured some Etruscans. You can pick some of them and go as an envoy. In the Etruscan city-state, release them to show our sincerity."

Tapirus' eyes lit up, and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, can I meet these prisoners now? Learn more about the Etruscan city-states that are going to envoy."

"Of course." Daves was pleased with the diligence of his subordinates.

After Tapirus left, Hernipolis laughed and said: "Your Majesty, your ability to free slaves is very strong. I think this Tapirus will not be worse than Extremadura in the future." /

"Alex Docrates is now a new veteran." Daves glanced at him and said lightly: "Hurry up and bring that Roman veteran in."

Pubrillus Manlius was taken into the Roman Senate.

Looking at the original power center of Rome now becoming the office of the enemy, there were wooden tables and chairs in the center of the venue, and the enemy soldiers with bright armor stood around him. Take a wooden chair and sit down.

Daves looked at him, and he looked directly at Daves without showing any weakness.

"This is Daves, King of the mighty Kingdom of Dioria! Romans, please show your respect immediately!" Henipolis shouted loudly.
