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

Lizaru came to the center of the battlefield: Here were full of wounded soldiers and corpses. The more corpses you go to the center, you can see the tragic situation of the previous battle. In the center, more than 20 soldiers of the Dionian Legion stood, all of them wounded, bloodstained, and disfigured. They even had difficulty standing. They could only rely on mutual support...

But when Lizaru came in front of him, they still saluted him hard: "Report to the commander of the legion, the first unit of the fourth brigade of the third army has completed the blocking task!"

Lizaru solemnly returned to the military salute, and said in a choked voice: "You did a great job! Without your resistance, there would be no victory!"

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward quickly, supported the crumbling Taglu, grabbed his right hand, and raised it high: "You Taglu blocked the pull with a small amount of force in the Rahe Fortress more than ten years ago. Russia’s offense! Today you once again blocked the offensive of thousands of Samona fighters with a company. You are really an iron wall!"

"Wansheng! Wansheng!!! Wansheng!!!..." The surrounding soldiers cheered in unison.

Amidst the cheers, Taglu and his soldiers all tried to straighten their chests. From then on Taglu has the nickname "Iron Wall".

Where did the Aialos and other Campania League generals who followed Lizaru have seen such a tragic battlefield, let alone such a terrifying army, when facing an attack by an enemy dozens of times as many as his own , Actually, he won't retreat, this is simply a copy of the rumored battle at Wenquanguan!

The shock in the hearts of these generals can be imagined: No wonder Dionia was able to defeat Syracuse and become the overlord of the Western Mediterranean. With such an army, which city-state dared to rival!

At this time, the legionary medical camp also rushed over, rummaging through the corpses to find the surviving soldiers, and urgently rescue them.

After a while, the captain of the Dionian cavalry battalion came to report: "Captain Lizaru, we have captured the chief of Kautini, Segovanni!"

Lizaru was not surprised at all: it was a miracle that it could escape under such a tight encirclement of the Third Army and its allies.

It was Dionian envoy Carrias who followed Lizaru all the way and asked hurriedly: "Where is he?!"

"Bring him up!" The cavalry captain turned around and shouted with some contentment.

The dusty Segowani was limped and pushed up. When he was escaping, he was knocked down by the Dionian cavalry and injured his right foot. His guard was also scattered. Seeing that it was impossible to escape, he consciously took the initiative and became a prisoner.

"Lord Segowani, I didn't expect us to meet under such circumstances."

Segovani heard this familiar voice and turned his head to look, but it was Karias's mocking face.

"Dionians, you violated the covenant and quietly attacked your allies, the Cavutini! Do you want to wage war with our Samona Alliance?!" Segovanni roared.

"Who is breaking the covenant?! It was you Cavutini who violated the covenant first. The hundreds of Campanian corpses in the city of Atla are your evidence! Dionia is defending The sacred covenant is to respond to the request of the loyal allies, the city-states of the Campania Alliance, to send a large army to protect the lives and property of the Campania people in the territory of the Campania Alliance! If you The Cavutini did not violate the covenant, did not invade the territory of the Campania Alliance, how could they fight with us!!!..." Karias asked repeatedly.

Segovani was speechless, but continued to yell: "You let me and my fighters go quickly, and I will persuade the compatriots in the mountains to resolve this conflict peacefully! Otherwise, the entire Samona Alliance will convene all The warriors of China, form an army and invade your Dionian territory!..."

As soon as Karias heard it, he wanted to say it again. Lizaru next to him screamed: "Let them come! Our Third Army is worried about fighting!"

Looking at Segovanni who was forcibly pressed down, Karias quickly lost his anger when he was humiliated in Kautim. He thought about it and said, "I don’t know if your majesty will How to deal with this battle?"

"It's better to order us to take Lola, Sacera, and Capsa!" Lizaru said confidently and loudly.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

In this battle, the more than 5,000 Kautini fighters led by Segovanni, plus other tribal fighters who invaded the territory of the Campania Alliance, totaled more than 12,000. The third army of Onia plus half of the forces of the Second Cavalry Corps of Dionia and the army of the Campania Alliance totaled about 20,000. It was defeated with mental arithmetic and unintentional, preparedness and unpreparedness. Most of the invading Kautini people, especially the main force led by Segowani, were almost surrounded and wiped out.

Cleaning the battlefield after the war resulted in the death and injury of approximately 3,000 Kautini fighters. More than 2,000 Kautini fighters were captured. The deaths and injuries of the Kautini fighters who fled back to the mountains are unknown. For this victory, the allied forces of Dionian and Campania also paid a certain price. There were more than 1,500 casualties in total. Among them, the first company of the fourth brigade of the third army of Dionian almost lost all casualties. The Second Cavalry Corps also suffered a lot of casualties when blocking the retreat of Segowani's troops. But this battle dealt severe damage to Cavutini and shocked the entire Samona region.

……………………………………

In the Carthage Senate, the senators had a heated argument about the news that had just returned from Rome.

"Everyone, we can't give in anymore! A year ago, because of our concession, the Taknian tribe that was close to us was completely annihilated, allowing the Dionians to completely control the West Kyle area. The gold, silver and materials we helped were wasted! Now the greedy Dionians are targeting our ally in central Italy-Rome, we can no longer just watch the Dionians. Conquer Rome, and then successfully occupy the whole of Italy. By then, which country can stop the vast Dionian territory! And such a powerful Kingdom of Dionian is still willing to live in peace with our Carthage!..." The Margonides waved their arms excitedly at Preta Kuba, the head of the Senate, and shouted loudly.

His passionate words moved some elders.

Okliton stood up and said calmly, "Calm down, Preta Kuba, you are too excited. I remember the news that came back was only that the Envoy of Dionia wanted Rome to stop The attack on Volsey did not intend to go to war with Rome. Rome has annexed too many lands over the years, and it should stop and rectify its own internal affairs. The conflict between the nobles and civilians in its country is so fierce, even The people have refused to elect a consul for many years in a row. If this continues, Rome will have a big problem sooner or later."

"Okliton, I think you are really confused!" Another Margonidian veteran Santipur stood up and accused: "We spend so much gold, silver and materials every year, just to make Has Rome become a prosperous city-state?! We are trying to make Rome a powerful force in central Italy, which can prevent the expansion of the Kingdom of Dionian to the north! Now that the Volsi people have suffered a disastrous defeat, it is Rome who conquered them and strengthened them. It’s a good time. If Rome stops attacking and shrinks its power, it will give the Wolsey people a chance to breathe.

Now, Dionia has realized the danger of Rome. They are trying their best to help Volsi. They may also unite with other anti-Rome forces to strengthen their influence in central Italy. With the support of Dionians, these races will continue to oppose Rome, and eventually Rome will be conquered by the Dionians, just like the Tannican tribe!

I think this is not what any wise veteran in this room would like to see! It is not in the interests of our Carthage at all! Therefore, we must fully support the Romans and let them reject the Dionian proposal! "

"Santipur, please note that your full support for Rome is to let them continue to attack Volsey, which will eventually lead to a war between Rome and Dionia in advance?!" Sofitel Tapanlaco station Get up and ask loudly.

There was a sudden noise in the venue.

"Yes, it is very likely that this will happen in the end." Santipur replied calmly.

There was another commotion in the venue.

"Rome alone cannot compete with Dionia. At that time, as Rome's ally, should we Carthage join the war?!" Tepanlaco asked.

"Whether it is to keep the oath, fulfill the covenant of the military alliance, or to protect the interests of our Carthage, we must declare war on Dionia!" Preta Kuba said firmly.

The veterans were in an uproar, and the controversy sounded in the venue.

"When we agreed to support the Tacnian tribe and Rome, hoping that they could restrain the expansion of Dionia, didn’t we already regard Dionias as an enemy in our hearts?! Are you still at this moment? With illusions, I look forward to the fact that the kingdom of Dionia, which has wiped out races and forces one after another and has become extremely powerful, can continue to live in peace with us?!" Preta Kuba asked loudly, making the venue that was just a bit noisy. Become a lot quieter.

"Declare war on Dionia?! Did you know that a few months ago we sent troops to Cirta to suppress the Numibian rebellion, but it hasn't been completely put down yet?!" Taipan Raco reminded loudly.

"There are also rebellions in Dionia. The Mesapis, Puchetti, Daunis... are only a lot more than us, but this does not prevent them from continuing to wage wars and conquer other forces! "Preta Kuba said with an indisputable expression: "What the Dionians can do, we Carthage have ruled this land for so long, we should be able to do it!"
