Under his escort, Hernipolis dodges the shot arrow while taking a sharp breath, exhausting all his strength, and shouting: "I, Hernipolis, Laos really The consul, in the name of Hades and Asinu, solemnly swear, as long as you help me kill these evil insurgents, I will allocate land to you so that you have the right to participate in politics and hold public office in the city. Have true freedom!"

The warriors at the head of the city heard it really, land, rights, freedom... these are all things they dream of. From the mouth of Hernipolis, most of them think they are credible, because the spread in the city a few days ago The rumors have let them know that it is precisely because this young man wants to improve their situation that he will be usurped by officials and leaders who want to continue to oppress and exploit them.

Now there is a great uproar among the soldiers on the city, and even the number of soldiers shooting arrows at Hernipolis has been greatly reduced.

Just as they were talking and the military spirit was floating, the spies arranged by Tratus in the team shouted: "We want land! We want freedom!..."

These shouts resonated with everyone and made the city even more chaotic.

Seeing this situation, Hilos under the city was overjoyed and immediately ordered an attack.

The bugle continued to sound, and the soldiers marched down the city carrying the ladder.

The chaos on the front of the city has not subsided, but is expanding. The leaders and team officers rushed to reprimand the rioting fighters and let them concentrate on their defense, otherwise they would be punished. At the instigation of caring people, some soldiers beat up these big people who usually make them like pigs and dogs.

Among the more than 5,000 warriors on the city of Laos, apart from one third of the warriors who were guards raised by the leaders and officials of various tribes, most of the rest came from the poor in the tribe and the poor in the port. They are the main force moved by the words of Hernipolis. The city is in chaos and is losing control.

Seeing that the Dionian soldiers were already quickly clearing the traps under the moat, Arobumas looked in his eyes, anxious in his heart, but couldn't think of a good way to change this critical situation.

At this moment, a messenger hurried up to the city’s head: "Master Arobumas, it’s not good! It’s not good! The poor people in the harbor are rioting! They have too many people, the troops in the city Most of them were transferred to defend the city, and the rest were either defeated or surrendered. Now they have occupied the city hall and are attacking your mansion!"

"What?! What did you say?!" Arobumas was struck by lightning, his eyes suddenly turned black, his body swayed a few times, and he fell to the ground.

Daves led the army, stepping on the solid foundation of Crimea-Asprostum Avenue, and soon came to a place one mile away from the north bank of the Neto River, and began to build a camp.

At this time, he had the First Army under his command (after the victory of the naval battle, the Dionian fleet entered the port of Crimea, and the soldiers of the First Army on the warship and the captive Syracuse sailors all came ashore. These captives will serve as slaves to provide labor for the Crimesa people to rebuild their homes, and then the damaged and captive ships will continue north to return to the Turíy military port for rapid repairs), the Second Army, the Sixth Army, the Seventh Army, and the Commander The Spear Brigade has a total of more than 40,000 people.

Furthermore, Felicius, who has received the news, left 3,000 soldiers to defend the city of Asprostum with more than 1,000 reserve soldiers organized by Agarcia, and he and Epithenis led the fourth. More than 12,000 soldiers from the Legion and part of the Fifth Legion also came through the avenue to join forces with Davers's army.

And Hieronymus has put down the rebellion in the Bruti area, and is leading the more than 5,000 Bruti reserve soldiers assembled before rushing to the Croton Plains on the road (this is why Hiros only brought The reason why more than 2,000 Bruti soldiers attacked Laos).

Navy Commander Sekrian also led one hundred raven warships and 40 conventional three-layer paddle warships to sail again to the sea near Crotone.

On this day, several groups of Dionian troops rushed to the north bank of the Neto River, and the number of troops led by Daves was growing rapidly.

Thousands of soldiers were naked, wielding shovels and pickaxes, digging trenches, building walls, building camps... what a magnificent lively scene.

The new king of Dionian Daves and Antonius, Amintas, Epithenis, Felicius, Olivers, Matonis, Capus and several army commanders, built in a makeshift The military account is ready to discuss the next battle plan.

At this moment, Dionysius sent the envoy Damocles.

After meeting Davos, Damocles presented a letter from Dionysius to him.

"To the young consul of Dionia, since I led an army to land in Great Greece, he has won many battles. Trina, Sirion, and Crotone have all been conquered. Corenia also said Surrendered, Lijim hid behind the mountain and trembled with fear. The destruction was only between my wave of hands. Now, there is only one enemy of Dionia in front of me, praised by the ignorant Greeks as a "victorious general". You have the courage to have a real face-to-face battle with me. No matter who wins or loses, this long war with countless casualties will end. I look forward to your reply! Signed-General Siracusa, Dionysius, master of Sicily and conqueror of Great Greece."

After reading the letter written by Dionysius, Daves sneered in his heart: This is the battle book from Dionysius? ! This tyrant really regards himself as a young and energetic child, and wants to use such a clumsy aggressive method to make himself accept the battle, hum...

Syracuse’s envoy Damocles looked calm after seeing Daves reading the letter, and immediately said: "Dear Daves, our general will give you a gift, but he was The guards were blocked out of the account."

Davers became interested, he glanced at the captain of the guard, Martius, who was standing beside him.

Martius understood, and immediately walked out of the big tent, and soon brought in a Syracuse's entourage with a beautifully decorated wooden box in his hand.

"This is the gift from Dionysius?" Daves asked, taking a look at the wooden box.

"Yes."

Davos nodded to Martius.

Martius took the wooden box, placed it on the table in front of Daves, and opened the lid of the box. There was a human head inside.

"Take it out." Daves said calmly, and he already had a general guess in his mind.

Martius took it out carefully and put it on the table.

Although the skull is covered with lime powder and slightly rotted, Daves can still tell who he is.

Amintas, who looked curiously on the left side of Daves, has already exclaimed: "It's Dracos!"

These words immediately caused the other legion leaders to be shocked, and they rushed to look at them, and there was a moment of confusion in the big tent.

Syracuse’s messenger Damocles said at this moment: "Master Dionysius asked me to bring you a message. This is only the first!"

Amintas stepped forward angrily, grabbed Damocles and punched him severely.

Damocles fell on his back, nosebleed.

"Go back and tell you that shameless and cruel tyrant, he will be the second one! We will cut off his head for football. Let him wash his head clean, so that we can cut it easily!" Amintas pointed at him and yelled.

The anger of General Dionia was expected by the messenger of Syracuse. The beating of the crooked bridge of the nose did not increase Damocles’ fear, but made him a little bit of joy. He covered it with his hand. Nose, stood up slowly, looked straight ahead, looking at him coldly, and said with an urn: "Master Davers, when are you going to fight? I'll go back and tell General Dionysius the best Ready."

Daves said calmly: "Let him wait."

Damocles was taken aback: This response was too vague.

But he had no chance to ask anymore, Martius drove him and his entourage out of the big tent, blindfolded by the guards, and escorted him back to the south bank of the Neto River.

At this moment, in the big tent, Daves and the commanders bowed respectfully and respectfully to Drax's head to express their grief and respect.

On the table case, there is a broken blood hole on the forehead of Dracos' head, silently narrating the courage and indomitableness of the deceased, so that everyone present can not help but think of the tragic scene at that time.

"Your Majesty, when will we fight Syracuse?!" Felicius, who was usually stable, couldn't hold back his emotions at this moment, and asked Daves.

"Your Majesty, the Fourth Army requires to serve as the main force in the battle!" Epithenis, who had usually escaped, also asked Davers with a serious expression at the moment.

"Epiteans, don't **** me! Our Second Army was formed by Dracos himself. Revenge for Dracos is a strong desire of the brothers. I hope that your Majesty can meet their requirements. Place the Second Army in the position where the Syracuse can attack the most fiercely!" Amintas shouted, looking like someone else.

"As for the army formed by Dracos, the same is true of the Fifth Legion. Moreover, Dracos was wounded and captured and died in the hands of the enemy because it was to cover the retreat of the Fifth Legion. So please give it to your Majesty. A chance for revenge for the Fifth Legion--" Felicius even took the initiative to fight for it.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the battle in the big tent became more enthusiastic, Daves interrupted Felicius loudly: "Who said I am going to fight Syracuse now!"

As soon as Daves's voice fell, Antonios, who had been relatively quiet, showed a "sure enough" look, and the silent Capps also flashed his eyes.

The juniors of the two legion commanders-Matonis and Olivers, although they hadn't stood up for a fight before, they were eager to try, and they were also discouraged at this moment.

Not to mention, the three legion leaders who are still arguing.
