"Whether what I said is true or not, you become a Dionian citizen, and you can discover it by yourself in the future." Davers said noncommittal, and then asked: "What is important for you to come here? You want to tell me?"

Sixtus was still recollecting what Davers said before. He was silent for a while, but Davers's calm gaze made him feel great pressure. He was unwilling and unwilling. Said: "This morning, when we set off from Prinistere, the army had more than 60,000 men, but when building a camp outside Rome, I found that the number of soldiers was a lot less... at least 20,000 men. Quietly left the camp." Sextus said while observing Davers's expression.

Daves's heart shuddered, and countless thoughts were in his mind immediately, and then he said nonchalantly: "It turns out that Camilos used peace talks to confuse me, but secretly sent an army to attack Ostia. However, he underestimated the current Ostia, it is difficult to capture it in a short period of time with more than 20,000 people! I believe that by tomorrow, I will receive the Ostia defenders repelling the Roman attack. News!"

Davers said confidently, and comforted Sextus, who seemed a little absent-minded: "Anyway, thank you very much for your reminder! As a Roman civilian, being able to serve as the squadron captain shows that you have excellent Military capability, have you applied to become a Dionian citizen?"

"...has already applied." Sextus said in a low voice. In fact, when the official of the household registration department asked him, he was a little hesitant at the time, but at the strong request of his father, he finally Agreed.

"Very good!" Daves looked at him approvingly and said loudly: "Now, I have decided to appoint you as the captain, responsible for organizing the civilians in Rome, forming a reserve team, ready to fight. Waiting for the future Defeated Latam and formed a new Dionian Legion. If you have made enough battles, you will be a strong competitor for the commander of the Legion. Are you willing to accept this appointment?"

Sixtus is a young man after all, a young man who is passionate and heroic. It is his nature to yearn for meritorious deeds. Although he has been depressed since he entered the city of Rome, he is also drawn by Daves’ appointment and the future. Attracted by the pie, there is no more hesitation: "I am willing!"

"Martius." Daves turned to his captain of the guard and said, "For a while, you personally take Sextus to Tolmeide and tell him what I have done to Sextus. Appointed and let him be responsible for helping Sextus build the Roma reserve team."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Sextus." Daves asked happily again: "I think there are not a few soldiers of civilian origin in the Roman army outside the city, but why are you the only ones who escaped the camp?"

This time Sextus was more serious when answering the question: "Because the Roman army has strict rules for building camps, the legion must be separated from the legion, and it is forbidden to walk around at night when resting. ...

While the soldiers were eating dinner, I quietly told the civilian soldiers of this legion of the changes in Rome, but I was unable to pass the news to other legions. Some civilian soldiers who received the news also did not. Did not leave with us, but I believe that because of the chaos we caused in the camp tonight, the news will spread throughout the army tomorrow. "

Davos nodded silently, and said with concern: "Sextus, thank you very much for coming to remind us that although we are prepared, this is still a great achievement! Before you led the civilian soldiers out of the camp and fled back to the city of Rome, you have already done a good job. According to our "Dionian Military Law", for soldiers who have done meritorious service, the kingdom should reward more land and other materials.

Today you have been tired for a day, and you must be very tired. Go home and reunite with your family and get a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow, I will convene all the people in the city to gather in the square, personally issue rewards to you, and also announce your appointment together, so that it will be more convenient for you to perform the task next. Oh, yes, there is also a house, worthy of a big house with your merits. "

Sextus hurriedly said: "I heard my father say that our family has moved to a large house."

"Oh." Davers smiled: "Then can you find your home tonight? If you can't, live in the barracks of the First Army tonight. Tonight, I will attend the square rally nearby. Go home with rewards and appointments, and your family will be happier."

"Hi...I know where my home is, I can find it!" Sextus was a little incoherent.

He hurriedly walked out of the Senate, then reached out his hand to wipe off the fine sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh. In his original imagination, the king of Dionia must be a man of dignity and domineering, but he did not expect to be so amiable and caring and passionate about himself that made him question Dior. The government of Nia and even the self-defeating mentality of being imprisoned in a big fight, but in the end, he almost learned from other people and said the king's honorific name. This made him feel ashamed and a little confused.

He turned his head and looked at the Senate under the dark sky. In the flashing candlelight, he felt the sacred and insurmountable gate before, but now he saw it in his eyes and found it was so dilapidated.

For a long time, he moved his legs and walked forward, faster and faster...

"Father, you asked the Roman soldiers who had just fled back to the city to pick up their weapons again and form a reserve team. Isn't it a bit too risky?" Cloto Catacs, who had been quietly listening just now, waited for Sextu After Si left, he asked worriedly.

"You have this vigilance, very good!" Daves first praised his son, and then patiently explained: "Just like what I said to Asistes before, there are only more than 1,000 people. Even if the Roman reserve team really rebels all, for the city of Rome guarded by our more than 40,000 legionaries, it will not be able to set off any waves. On the contrary, it is more convenient for us to supervise them by gathering them together for training. , We also took the opportunity to show our magnanimity to the Romans, and use them with confidence and boldness, so that these civilians can dispel the doubts in their hearts. In addition, there is ——Heni!"

Daves suddenly remembered something: "You write it down and inform Asistus tomorrow morning. When the rally is held in the square, the family members of the Roman nobles will also be escorted. We will not only take action against Sextus Rewards, but also to allocate land and houses to those Roman civilians who have fled back and applied for Dionian citizenship."

"Your Majesty, this method is great!" Hernipolis couldn't help but praised: "It can allow more Roman civilians in the city to be affected by this The Roman civilians of Onia had to be more loyal to the kingdom in the hatred of the noble families!"

Davos looked at the thoughtful Croto Kataks and asked: "Crotto, what do we need to do most now?"

Clotokatax pondered for a while and replied: "...reinforce Ostia?"

"Yes! Camilos secretly sent an army to attack Ostia, he must realize the importance of Ostia to us, and will definitely attack Ostia with all his strength when the Roman army is facing difficulties. Ya, although Theris sent people to report to me in the past two days, he has been strengthening the defense of Ostia, but the walls of Ostia are not high, and the help to the soldiers defending on the city is too small. There are only three reserve battalions in Ostia. These soldiers lack real combat experience like Thelis. I am a little worried!"

Daves paced back and forth with a slight worry, and soon he stopped: "Clotto, you immediately rush to the Fifth Army camp, let Commander Geogris lead the five battalions, quickly arrive Take a boat from the pier on the opposite bank of Shiibashi and rush to Ostia overnight to reinforce Theis! The remaining troops of the Fifth Army will be temporarily under the command of the Fourth Army Commander Oliver."

Klotokatax did not immediately take the order. He hesitated for a while and suddenly said loudly: "Father, I request to follow the Fifth Army to Ostia and join the battle!"

Daves was taken aback.

"You can also participate in the battle here, there is no need to go to Ostia." Hernipolis persuaded from the side.

Clotokatax did not speak, but straightened his chest, and looked directly at his father resolutely.

Daves felt the eager desire in his piercing eyes. He pondered for a moment and said, "You are going, you can, but you must promise me one thing."

"As long as you let me go, you can agree to anything!" Cloto Kataks replied immediately with a smile on his face.

"You must obey the orders of the chief executive of Ostia, Theis and the commander of the legion, Georgris, and you are not allowed to do things on your own! Can it be done?"

"Yes!"

"Then take 50 court guards with you."

"Thank you, father!" Croto Kataks excitedly gave Daves a strong hug, and then walked out of the Senate.

"Your Majesty, I think it is still dangerous to let His Highness Cloto go to Ostia alone!" Hernipolis persuaded worriedly.

Davers stared at the exit of the venue and sighed softly: "If the young eagle is always under the care of his parents and will never learn to fly, it is rare that he has the determination to experience risks, so let Let him go!"

This evening, the large tent of the Roman camp was also lit by candlelight, and the dictator Camilos was discussing tensely with his generals.
