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

In recent years, due to the gradual deterioration of the relationship between the Samoneites and the Kingdom of Dionia, the Cavutini’s continuous invasion of the Campania area, and the progress of Shilpini towards Abenirum. The advancement has made Polet, the chief leader of Potentia, alert, but in the past ten years, due to the safety of the surrounding environment, the life of the Potentian people has gradually become richer, and the young people have never encountered war. , Even the older generations are unfamiliar with combat skills, so he once made an unexpected decision: to invite Dionian Military Affairs Department to send military training officers to station in Potentia for a long time to train Potentia. Young ethnic group.

Therefore, the Ministry of Military Affairs will have accurate data on the potential of the Potentia war.

Several chairpersons on duty looked at each other and immediately reached an agreement. After all, they can use unexpected assistance without consuming the power of the kingdom to achieve their goals, so why not do it. As for Potentia, will it agree? They didn't even think about it, because the relationship between the two parties was too close, and according to the agreement, this was also Potentia's obligation.

Therefore, Weisba asked directly: "After asking Potentia to join the war, where does the army they form belong to?"

Although Potentia is a free city in the Kingdom of Dionian, it is still semi-independent. According to the laws of Dionian, the army of Potentian has no right to independently perform military operations and must be compiled. Into the army of Dionian, commanded by General Dionian. This is to ensure the safety of Dionian Territory and prevent some accidents from happening.

"The army formed by Potentia will be commanded by Zantiparis, the commander of the Reserve Corps of Lucania." Silos replied.

Wesbah was relieved when he heard that the commander was Zanteparis. Based on his understanding of the generals of Dionia, Zanteparis, a veteran, worked steadily and would not ignore the casualties. The Samonais fought hard. Although Potentia was not fully integrated into the Kingdom of Dionia, Weisba regarded it as part of the Lucania region in his heart. Of course, he did not want the people there to suffer heavy casualties.

"Tomorrow, as soon as the Senate meeting begins, we will first submit this issue. As soon as the resolution is passed, we will immediately let the messenger rush to Potentia to notify Polet!" Cornelus solemnly said:" The elders all hope that the Samonais will be put down as soon as possible, and peace will be restored to the northern border of Dionia!"

"Thank you five adults! We will do our best!" Silos also solemnly responded.

Weissbar wanted to inquire about the general plan of the military affairs department for the Samonaites, but he swallowed it again. After all, the Senate did not interfere with the military affairs department because King Daves was very concerned. He did not want to commit this taboo to the regulations made earlier.

After Hilos and the rotating chairmen separated, their expressions seemed a little relaxed.

Philipsius said with a little excitement: "As long as the resolution of the Senate is passed tomorrow and Potentia sends an army, we can solve the problem of the Samonaites!"

"Yes, the Samonaites raided the Campania League and Abenirum and asked to be attached to the kingdom. Together, these two things provide us with an opportunity to attack! Just let Potenti The Asian army can go north and join the Abeni Rum to attack the empty Samona Mountains. At the same time, Alexis can lead his army to attack from the east... The two sides can cooperate. Completely control the trend of the war with the people from the desert!" Capus, who is usually steady, also showed joy at this time.

"The Shillpines have had wars with Potentia many times. This time, let Potentia's army enter Abenirom. Will it cause dissatisfaction and conflict between the two sides?" Al Punes reminded.

"This shouldn't be possible." Felicius explained with certainty: "Since the South-Italian War, Potentia has not had a war with the Samonais for more than ten years. I don't know. Whether the Potentias have forgotten their previous hatreds, but according to the information obtained from your Majesty’s intelligence services over the years, Potentias and Abenirum often trade with each other, and both ethnic groups can do it. Relatively free entry and exit of the opponent’s territory... Therefore, the entry of Potentia’s troops into Abeni Rum should not arouse much reaction. Besides, you have to trust Zantiparis, who will coordinate the two sides with his ability. Relationship."

The other three nodded their heads. They were all survivors of the Persian expedition, and they had a deep understanding of Zanteparis' abilities.

"I think Pollet will be very happy when he receives the news that we'll let him attack the Samonais." Hironimus said: "With his temperament, he will definitely personally Leading the army on the expedition, in order to achieve this goal, he will also restrain his people and cooperate with the Abeni Rum to fight together."

Pollett not only allowed his people to receive the training of Dionian military trainers, but he also personally went off the field many times to receive training and learn the combat methods of the Dionian Army. Hilonimus, as the military training officer, went to Potentia several times to inspect the military training situation. He was hospitalized by Pollet, and the two sides formed a deep friendship.

"For Abeni Rum and Potentia, we don’t need to worry. The only thing I worry about now is Your Majesty!" Philipius said in a deep voice, "He has repeatedly emphasized,'Don’t lead the army. Enter the mountains of Samona to fight', and our plan completely violated his wishes!"

Philipsius’ words made the excitement on the faces of Hieronymus and Alpunes suddenly become solemn, but Hiros’s expression was calm, and he comforted everyone: "When we were discussing plans in the military department before, Haven’t I already said that, your Majesty is worried that we are not familiar with the terrain of the Samona Mountains, and the Samonais are good at mountain warfare, and they will suffer a great loss if they venture into the mountains, so I emphasized it again and again, but he never said it. ,'We are definitely not allowed to enter the Samone Mountains'! And now, with the help of the Abeni Rum, and the main force of the Samoneites are in Campania, it is precisely that we have completely solved the Samo A good opportunity for the Nai people! I believe your Majesty knows about it and will definitely agree to it!"

"Hilos, we should wait until your majesty has received our combat plan and approved it before we start the offensive." Felicius reminded him uneasy.

"The letter is sent to Rome and then back again. It will take about seven or eight days before the Abenirum joins our kingdom. The matter of Abenirum’s joining our kingdom has been going on in secret, but I think it’s difficult for the Abenirum to grow Time to keep this secret, once it is learned by several tribal chiefs of Samona that they will quickly withdraw the troops attacking the Campania Alliance back to the Samona Mountains, then our efforts will be in vain! Therefore, after tomorrow's resolution is passed, We must immediately notify Alexis to carry out our plan. If your Majesty should blame him in the future, I am willing to bear it alone!" Silos resolutely said.

"This is a decision we made through mutual consultation, how can you be responsible for it alone!" Hironimus immediately objected.

"Yes, your majesty must blame, and all the chief officers of our military department should be blamed!" Phillips also said immediately.

As soon as Alpens was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of someone hurriedly running ahead, and immediately said: "Heros, isn't that your clerk?"

"Master Hiros! Masters!" The officer rushed over and gave a military salute: "Master Alexis sent an urgent letter!"

Silos took the letter hurriedly, opened it, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

The other three immediately cast curious glances.

Silos looked at Felicius and the others, raised the letter in his hand, and said in high spirits: "After Alexis learned the news of'Abeni Rum's request to be incorporated into the Kingdom of Dionia,' Immediately wrote this letter. He requested that the Tenth and Eleventh Legions should be regrouped, and the Abeni Roma and Potentians were attacked from both the east and the west at the same time, to clear away the obstacles, and take the Afghan in one fell swoop. Aquilonia, we want to go together!"

Although the Third Dionian Fleet tried its best to blockade the west coast of the Italian peninsula, and the Sicilian Fleet patrolled the waters west of the Strait of Messina from time to time, it was impossible to prevent the Carthaginians from getting news about Rome. After all, Corsica under the control of Carthage, Sardinia, and Latium, where Rome is located, face each other across the sea. The Phoenician city-state on the island had to be ordered by the Judges of Carthage. Once again, he sent ships to take the risk of avoiding the patrols of the Dionian warships, approaching the coast, and going to Antiium, Adi and other towns to learn about the development of the Battle of Latham.

Then, the Carthaginian judges sent a clipper again, sailing straight south from the west side of Sardinia to the city of Carthage, so the Carthaginians knew that Dionia had sent The army attacked the Latham area, and they were happy to see it, because Rome contained most of Dionia's forces and would inevitably alleviate the offensive pressure on western Sicily.

But a few days later, the news that "Rome was captured" came out, which shocked the elders of Carthage. According to the news they learned, Rome is a big city. Although its main force is not in the city, it is so It is easy to be captured by the Dionians, which shows the strength of the Dionian military.

After another period of time, when the news that "Ostia was burned, the Roman army collapsed, and the remains shrank in southwestern Latham" reached the city of Carthage, the entire Carthage noble class was shaken by it. : Rome is a powerful city-state in central Italy (because of this, Carthage chose to form an alliance with it). In such a short period of time, it was beaten by the Dionian army with no power to fight back, even to the point of dying. To the point...
