lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
Although Licinius is the commander of this Allied State Army, his subordinates actually have no troops under his control. In the face of such a critical situation, the only way he can think of is: Hurry up and inform Titus, let him send an army to stabilize the situation here! Otherwise...
Just when Licinius dispatched a messenger, the Latin Allies were defeated far more quickly than he imagined, starting from a small array of the right wing, and then chaos spreading to the entire right wing, and then again. It quickly spread to the middle, until the entire array......
After all, the Latin Allies are made up of more than a dozen Latin city-states and tribes. It is difficult to work together and completely obey orders. What's more, they are fighting here, part of the reason is to fulfill the covenant, and part of the reason is that they are afraid of their lips and teeth, and they are fighting for their own safety. But they had no determination to fight desperately, so when the soldiers of a city-state fled, neither the soldiers nor the generals of the neighboring city-state army would continue to fight and become the ghosts of the dead. Therefore, the entire array quickly disintegrated like an avalanche.
………………………………
The commander of the Wah’s coalition forces is the Archon Kate Montales of Polevernham (given that Wolsey’s combat strength is 5,000, which is more than the Helniki, and the Wolsey is in He had given great assistance to Helniki before, because the Helnikians had no complaints about letting Katel Montares take the command of this coalition army and obeyed his command with all his strength.) He held a shield and spear and charged. At the front of the team, he uttered a wanton shout, and his heart was unspeakable. He had never defeated the Latins so easily as he did today.
After defeating the Latin Allies, the originally exhausted Vaugh Allied soldiers seemed to have been reinfused with power. They shouted and chased the routing Latins, forcing most of the Latin routs to flee desperately north.
Titus was shocked after receiving the report of Licinius’ request for help. In fact, the entire army was in the process of accelerating its retreat, and it was impossible to separate a unit in a short time to support Latin America. Allied forces, he could only urge the Roman army to continue to speed up its retreat.
However, Titus did not expect that the Latin soldiers would come so quickly. The Latin light infantry, who only wore a thin coat and threw away weapons and clothing, ran to the forefront in panic, and then looked like headless. Like a fly, it directly slammed into the Roman army that was still behind (that is, the part of the Roman soldiers who were in charge of attacking the camp), and immediately smashed the formation, hindering their retreat.
Behind these Latin light infantry are more broken soldiers fleeing, and behind the Roman army are the Dionian soldiers in hot pursuit...
Under such a bad situation, how dare Titus stop the retreating army, but the room leaked in the evening rain: "General Titus, there are hundreds of Dionian cavalry from the northwest. When he rushed forward, General Olus was leading his cavalry to stop him!"
"Report to General Titus that more than 2,000 Dionian light infantry are coming from the north, less than 200 meters away from us!"
……
Titus did not expect that the Dionian army from Rome would come so quickly. He knew very well that there were more Dionian heavy infantry behind these Dionian light infantry. Now around the Roman army: the Dionian army is pursuing it to the east, the Voch's coalition forces have rioted at the back of his army to the south, and the Dionian from Rome who will soon come to the north. The army, there are Dionian cavalry to the northwest, and the only thing that is not blocked by the enemy is the southwest... Titus is anxious. He feels that the retreat speed of the Roman army, which is still maintaining order and formation, is still too slow, and it may happen at any time. In the danger of being completely surrounded, he issued an order in a hurry: "Notify all soldiers that they do not have to stay in formation, drop unnecessary heavy objects, and quickly retreat to Villitre!"
At the same time, he also asked the messenger to immediately rush to the military camp in Tustlön and notify the dictator Camilos to retreat to the west.
After Titus' order was given, it didn't take long for the entire Roman army to become a mess of sand. Everyone threw down their shields and spears, even helmets, and breastplates, and ran forward desperately.
The Dionian soldiers, Wolsey and Helniki soldiers who chased them naturally followed suit. The originally planned siege soon evolved into a chaotic chase and race.
By the time Quintus led his army to the battlefield, the place had become extremely chaotic. In the deafening shouts, in the scattered dust, Romans, Latins, Volsi, Herni The Ki people and the Dionians are all mixed together...
Quintus was dumbfounded for a while, not knowing how to proceed to intercept the enemy and ensure the smooth retreat of the Roman army.
There is no need for him to make a decision at all. The soldiers under his command quickly lost the will to fight under such a mighty momentum, and followed his compatriots to escape together...
After the chase of Dionia lasted for half an hour, the retreating bugle had to be sounded, because at this time the large group of chasing troops had already ran to the south of Tustron Mountain, and most of the soldiers had been lost. In order to organize, there are several Roman Latin allies around, if at this time out of the city assault...Daves did not dare to take any risks.
While escorting the captured Romans or Latins, the soldiers cleaned the battlefield and began to retreat one after another...
At this time, Daves met on the battlefield, including the leader of the Polevernum consul Kater Montales and the commander of Helniki Nemeli, among others. .
If we say that the magical rumors about Dionia and King Davos heard by the leaders of Wolsey and Herniki before, they are only talking about drinking and chatting, and they don’t take it too seriously, but This time Davos led the Dionian army to capture the city of Rome and finally defeated the Roman army. Such a brilliant record has already attracted the attention of surrounding forces, not to mention that the Dionians have successively conquered the city after occupying Rome. Kesrera, Wei Ai, and Photinia forced the surrender of Prinister...have taken root in the Latham area, replacing the previous Rome and becoming the new overlord of this area.
Aware of this, Cate Montales and the others will inevitably be a little bit cautious when they see King Dionian Daves.
Daves smiled and praised them: "It's nice to see you, Dionia's friendliest allies! Thank you for your full cooperation, we will have today's big victory!... …"
Daves’ words made the leaders of the Vaugh Allied Forces feel very useful. Cate Montales respectfully saluted and said: “His Majesty the King, it is precisely because of your wonderful plan that we followed and implemented it. There will be today's victory!"
"This is Carter Montales, the consul of Polevernham, and the commander of the Vaugher coalition this time." Tapirus hurriedly introduced him.
Daves listened to the translation and said solemnly: "You Volsey have unreserved trust in us, whether it is to prevent the Roman messenger from entering the Tullerus Valley to inform Camilos’ army. This time, we are willing to risk the emptiness of our territory and implement our plan with all our strength. This makes me feel that although Wolsey and our Dionia have only formed an alliance not long, but you and I have been able to trust each other and share weal and woe. Good ally! So please rest assured that Dionia will help Wolsey gradually regain your lost territories and help you restore their prosperity!"
Unexpectedly, he would get the promise from King Daves at this moment, Katelmontreston was pleasantly surprised and repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
Then Helniki's commanding general Nemeli stepped forward to greet him.
Davos, of course, cannot avoid making a promise to this new ally. He sincerely said: "Although you Helniki have regained all the lost land, I heard that you have suffered damage in this war. It is serious, and rebuilding your homeland is a difficult process. We, Dionia, have had such a tragic experience before, so we have a deep understanding! We will do our best to help you restore the prosperity of your territory as soon as possible, and protect your safety! ……"
The leaders of the Warch coalition were happy to hear what Davers said.
At this time, Nemeri asked again: "His Majesty the King, Dionia defeated Rome and became the new master of Rome. Now some forces are worried that Dionia will become the second Rome! "
When Davers heard this, he immediately became serious: "Thank you for your reminder. What do you mean by some forces?"
Nemeli hesitated, and finally said: "All I know are the Masi and Aqwe. Before I summoned the soldiers to participate in this battle, they sent people to dissuade me and expressed this. Worries..."
Davers nodded, he glanced at everyone, and found that everyone’s eyes were focused on him, and his heart suddenly became clear: This is probably not just the worry of the Aques and the Massi, but the Romans. All the surrounding forces are concerned about the issues, of course, including the Wolsey and the Helniki.
Daves pondered for a while, and then said loudly: "Dionia does not border Rome, and there is no conflict of interest. It is because Rome has invaded your territory. When you are facing an existential crisis, we In order to fulfill the covenant, Dionia decided to go to war with Rome. Up to now, Dionia has fought with Rome and the Roman allies, and the towns they have captured are also owned by Rome and the Roman allies.
Whether it is a Masi, Aqui, or Etruscan or Sabine, as long as they are willing to live in peace with Dionia, we Dionia will never covet them Land, war with them for no reason! On the contrary, we, Dionia, are happy to have friendly exchanges with them, trade, enhance friendship, and jointly maintain peace and tranquility in this area! ...
