lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

The adults have the anxiety of losing their homes on their faces. They talked about their resentment towards the Syracuse, the progress of the war, and their expectations and dissatisfaction with their own army; the children regarded the place of refuge as a refuge. In the place to play, play around together...

When the street is too noisy, people in the houses on both sides will come out to express their dissatisfaction. In most cases, the refugees in the streets will listen to the advice and restore tranquility for a while.

At this time, someone will sigh: "If you have a house of your own in the city, it would be great, you don't have to be afraid of the enemy's invasion!"

His words naturally aroused some controversy.

The street was messy, but it was still relatively clean. It was just a breeze blowing by, and the smell of urine came in. When Diverston covered his nose and mouth, he looked at Protsilaus.

Protsilaus said helplessly: "Your Majesty, we have arranged the people to clean the streets every day according to the doctor's advice, and warned them that they must go to the river to pee and **** to prevent the epidemic, but those children..."

Since Protsilaus has taken effective measures, Daves will naturally not say anything. As they approached, the bored refugees found Daves and shouted excitedly: "It's Lord Daves!"

"Master Daves is here!"

……

The news of "Daves becoming King Dionia" has been formally communicated by the Senate to the subordinate cities, but the refugees in Crimea worry about their homes being trampled on by the enemy all day long. They were too concerned, so they still called their familiar titles.

At this moment, they stopped complaining and arguing, and rushed to Daves, and the guards immediately protected him.

"Master Daves, you finally came, the Syracuse burned our village and our home is gone!"

"Master Daves, when will you lead your troops to drive away those ferocious aliens?! When will we return to our land?!"

"Master Daves, my father died at the hands of those **** aliens. You must kill them to avenge us!"

……

The people seem to have finally seen their parents, and confided to Daves the suffering and anger during this time.

The guards and Olivers saw that the surrounding people were getting more and more together, and they wanted to get rid of them for fear of danger. Daves stopped their actions, then listened to their pain with a heavy expression, patiently comforted them, and Made a solemn promise that "will defeat the Syracuse people and help them rebuild their homes"...

………………………………

Henipolis led more than a thousand Raos soldiers loyal to him out of the mountain road to the Rahe Fortress. After meeting with the 3000 Lucanian reserve soldiers led by Baggul, he walked along Rahenan. Next, I soon arrived outside the city of Laos.

Here, Shiros, the military commander of the Bruti region temporarily appointed by Daves, has replaced the Chief of Vig City Saru, and more than 3,000 Bruti reserve soldiers have arrived a day earlier and set up camp.

The combination of the three forces brought the total strength of the Dionia side to nearly 8,000.

Arobumas in the city got the news and frowned all day long. He regretted that he had not decisively led the troops out of the city yesterday and defeated the enemy from Bruti first. At that time, he had concerns. Although he had assembled 5,000 soldiers in Laos, he had dealt with Dionia all the year round. He knew the combat effectiveness of Dionia soldiers. Unless he led most of the troops to attack, he There is no confidence to beat the opponent. And if he does this, he is worried about troubles in the city.

In the past few days, rumors have spread in the city of Laos. Civilians and slaves have a lot of grievances against officials and tribal leaders, and there have even been several major conflicts. It was also because the news of the originally blocked "Siracusa naval battle" was also spread, which further contributed to their arrogance. Under such circumstances, how dare Arobumas move the main force of his troops away from the city. Therefore, for the present plan, he can only change the bad situation in Laos by holding on to the city of Laos and hoping that Syracuse can defeat Dionia on land.

To this day, he still can’t figure out how Siracusa’s powerful navy would lose to the Dionian fleet formed by patchwork. Could it be that the Dionian Archon Daves really got the gods? Of blessing? !

The rendezvous of the three forces, due to Baggul’s humility, the command of the entire unit after the integration is given to the former 4th Army Corps commander and Senate veteran who is more senior and trusted by Daves Hiros mastered.

At this moment, Hilos, Baghul, and Hernipolis are in the newly erected tent, as well as Hernipolis' most trusted commander of the army, Eliandos, are discussing.

In addition, there is a special person in the tent, he is Tratus, the leader of the Daves intelligence department. He was previously appointed by the director Aristiras, and has been in charge of the spies for Laos on the west coast for this period of time. Activity.

After Terratus introduced the actual situation of the current turmoil in Laos, it greatly inspired the confidence of Hiros and Bagulna Raos. After all, if Alobmas defended with all his strength, 8,000 people would think It is simply impossible to capture a stone city guarded by 5,000 people. As a mixed force assembled in a hurry, they didn't even have an engineering battalion, not to mention having a ballista.

At this moment, Hernipolis uttered a word that surprised everyone in the big tent.

"Master Hernipolis." Silos settled and asked, "Are you really going to do this?"

"Of course!" Hernipolis raised his head, with hatred in his eyes: "When I became the Archon of Laos, I wanted to do it. It's just that a group of greedy wolves. I won’t give me a chance to show off! But now—"Hernipolis sneered: "Since they betrayed me, then I will let them taste what it is like to be betrayed by the people!"

For the rest of the day, the Dionian army began to build siege equipment, and Terratus also contacted his subordinates in the city through special methods.

……………………………

The next day, Daves led the army from Crimea to the Neto River, while Silos also led the army outside the city of Laos.

Looking at the enemies under the city and hunting under the banner of battle, the Laos people in the city are inevitably nervous, whether they are soldiers or generals. After all, they have been used to seeing and hearing under the wings of Dionia for many years. The bravery and constant victories of the Dionian soldiers.

Seeing this, Alobumas laughed and said: "The Dionians are just frightening us, they dare not attack the city! The lives of the more than a thousand family members of the soldiers under Hernipolis are with us. In their hands, they have no fighting spirit. Without them, the number of Dionians is not much more than our warriors, and we still have tall walls, moats, deer castles, and traps. Dionians unless they are I'm crazy, because of their strength, they dare not come to die!"

"My Lord Archon is right! Our Laos warriors are not afraid of any intimidation! I hope that the Dionians can come to attack the city, so that we can take the opportunity to defeat them!"

"Asinu is here, it's time for the Dionians to see how powerful our Laos fighters are!"

……

The men showed their courage to Arobumas.

At this time, more than 20 riders ran out of the army formation of Dionia below the city, stood still less than a hundred meters from the city, and the leader shouted: "Warriors of Laos, I am A Son of Vinojis, your Archon Hernipolis!"

As soon as his voice fell, more than 20 translators repeated his words at the same time, so that the people in the city could hear clearly.

"My lord, it's that kid! Let's shoot him to death!" The subordinate's expression changed, and he suggested to Alobmas.

Alobmus waved his hand. For this nephew, his mood is complicated, he has the guilt of seizing his position, the pain of violating his brother's promise, the sadness of hating him for iron and steel, and the fear of his recklessness.

Alobmas knows: He must face this young man bravely and cut off these negative emotions in his heart in order to truly become a qualified ruler of Laos! So he wanted to hear what the nephew said before refuting him.

"Warriors of Laos, we are descendants of the noble Subaris, but for decades we have become slaves to aliens. Under the leadership of my father, you who don’t want to be slaves bravely rise up to resist , Drove away the aliens and became the master of Laos!"

Henipolis waited for his subordinates to complete the voice transmission, and shouted again: "But have you really become the masters of this city?! Most of you have no land, cannot serve as city-state officials, and cannot participate in various city-states. The formulation of the plan did not have any political power, but because of poverty and survival, it had to belong to various clans and tribes, desperately grazing and planting farmland for the officials and leaders, in exchange for a little bit of food to satisfy their hunger.

And those officials and chiefs who don’t have to do anything are enjoying the food, occupying the positions of the city-states in Laos, occupying all the land in Laos, and promulgating various laws that will help them rule you. . Look at the fat generals and leaders around you. Do you really think you are the masters of this city? ! Are you really free? ! ……"

"Let go! Let go!" Arobumas ordered furiously. He didn't expect this bold nephew to expose the secret of their ruling Laos in the public: Damn it! Damn Hernipolis! Does he not want our family to rule this city anymore? !

The order of Alobmus was passed on, but there were not too many fighters who responded to the order. More people really followed what Hernipolis said, looking at the leader who came to scold them, and whispered. Muttering: "He is right, these people are indeed much fatter than us..."
