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

Under the persuasion of Zanteparis, the generals of the Campania coalition army followed his advice and did not rush to attack, but followed the Dionian army to build a camp one mile southwest of Lola City. The reason why Zantiparis set up the camp here is because it is close to the mountains, which can facilitate the felling of trees to build camps and siege equipment.

On the same day, the commander of the Tenth Legion, Melisanda, led the remaining four heavy infantry battalions to leave Asculum and marched north to reach the city of Aecae under the instructions of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Join the 11th Army with only six heavy infantry battalions left.

Caps, acting commander of the 11th Army, was appointed by the Ministry of Military Affairs as the temporary commander of this army, actively preparing for the next military action.

"It's so noisy outside, what happened?" Stolo's wife Konya asked the female slave who had just entered the house.

"Mistress, they are all saying,'Tustron surrendered to Dionia...'" The Sabine slave lowered her head, not daring to let her master see the uncontrollable joy unfolding in her. On the face, because the Stolos were confined at home these days, it was this female slave who went out to the square to collect food and inquire about the news. She had learned from others that the status of slaves in the Kingdom of Dionia was better than that of slaves. Rome is much better and easier to gain freedom, so of course she hopes that Dionia will win this war and let Rome be completely under Dionia's rule in her heart.

"Tustron descended?! How is this possible?!" Conya felt unbelievable, because in her impression, the city of Albalonga was destroyed by Rome, and the city has a long history. Strom, because it is close to Lake Albalonga, has repeatedly tried to own the sacred mountain of Latin, and often calls herself "the center of the Latins", so she thinks this proud city-state should do it for Latin The glory of man resisted to the end, but he didn't expect it to surrender without a battle.

Storo sighed slightly from the side: "Since the Dionians captured the city of Gaby, they killed all the stubbornly resisting warriors and turned all the captured people into slaves. This cruel practice affirms Frightened the surrounding city-states, Rabikum, Pedum, Artena... have surrendered one after another, and even Tibur, which is very powerful in the northern region, has also surrendered to Dionia. People.

Now, tens of thousands of Dionian soldiers are approaching the city of Tustron, and the hostages that Tustron sent to Rome are now in the hands of the Dionians (these hostages once fled with the Roman nobles When they arrived on Capitoline Mountain, they were later sent down among thousands of noble families), how could they not descend..."

After hearing this, Konya asked in a trembling voice in a low voice: "So many Latin city-states have fallen, next... should the Dionians attack Villitre and Sartney next? Qom, Antiium?! The Roman army led by Camilos and Titus...can...can they repel them?"

Storo was silent. Through this period of understanding, he knew: Dionians’ offensives are always carefully planned and cunning with soldiers, but they are like violent storms, swift and violent! It was so in the fall of Rome! The capture of Wei Ai, Kesrera is so! This is the case for the capture of Phidina and Rohmtum! Even more so when defeating the Roman coalition! It took less than ten days from the capture of Gaby City to the surrender of Tustron today, and it took less than two months for the Dionian army to land on the Latham coast. With such a terrifying ability to conquer, the Roman army, which has been defeated in a row in Lien Chan, has no chance to breathe and rehabilitate. Even if their morale is declining and their strength is insufficient, even if they are led by Camillos, can they really turn defeat into victory? !

Watching the progress of the battle for so long, after many sleepless nights toss and turn, Stolo has already felt desperate about it. He also found that the key to the Dionian army's rapid conquest of Latham is that they and Kay The Ults are completely different. They have powerful assimilation capabilities. Listen to the cheers outside the house. The Roman civilians have completely forgotten their origins and regarded themselves as members of the Kingdom of Dionian... …Ugh! ...

Storo’s silence made Konya understand. In fact, the observations these days have also given her a vague answer. When the worry is confirmed, she no longer yells, but her hands are not She rubbed the corners of her clothes tightly, frowned her eyebrows, her expression fluctuating.

Suddenly, she grabbed her husband's hand and said eagerly but in trepidation, "Storo... or... you join Dionia too, right?"

Storo was shocked when he heard the words, before he could answer, Konya seemed to be inspired at once, grabbed his hand, and said anxiously: "Yes, join the Kingdom of Dionia! Only! Only in this way can your father escape the danger of being defeated and captured! It is possible to persuade my father to go down the mountain and surrender! It is possible to persuade my sister and brother-in-law to surrender!... Although we cannot all live in Rome in the future, at least They...they will not be killed or become slaves..."

Listening to his wife's worrisome narration and pleading, Stolo couldn't help but hug her trembling body tightly into his arms. This time he was really tempted...

…………………………………………

The reason why the people in Rome are so excited today is not only because the Dionian army has won one after another, and it has made their hearts more sure: Dionian’s rule in the Latham area is becoming more and more stable. It was almost impossible for the Roman nobles to regain their rule in Rome, and their newly acquired land and rights would never be taken away again.

Furthermore, they also knew that this army that had been fighting for more than ten days was about to return to Rome. This included 6000 Roman soldiers. Although the attack on Gaby was a tough battle, it was followed by constant marching. After the surrender, the soldiers suffered not many casualties, but in this chaotic situation, the Roman people hoped to see their relatives who were alive and kicking in front of them.

As soon as noon, nearly 30,000 Dionian soldiers under the command of Plintors arrived in Rome. King Daves personally led the Roman city officials to greet him, and announced: "To commend the soldiers for The achievements made by the kingdom will hold a grand banquet for them at noon! And after the banquet, there will be a rugby clan match!"

When the soldiers heard the news, the fatigue and running of the past few days disappeared without a trace, and there was a deafening cheer.

Since the establishment of Dionian, this is the first time that a banquet has been held during the war. Davos mainly considers: For the first time for such a large number of Dionian soldiers to be far away from their hometowns and in foreign lands Having continued to fight on a large scale for such a long time, they are a little exhausted physically and mentally, and they need to be given a chance to relax.

And now that the situation in the entire Latham area is gradually becoming clearer, and the order in Rome is becoming more stable, Daves dares to make such a decision.

In the past month or so, the Dionian army has captured the city one after another, forced to surrender the city, and seized a large amount of food, livestock, and property. Of course, organizing a banquet is not a problem.

But in fact, there is no need to consume a lot of grains. The chef of Davers serves as the head chef of the entire banquet. The dishes carefully prepared for each soldier are quite rich: a pot of steaming lamb soup, a piece of meat Tangy fried beef, a grilled river fish smoked with herbs, a cleaned cabbage that can be dipped in a sauce, a small cup of cooked chickpeas, a handful of olives and nuts, a piece of baked honey bread, of course There is also a can of wine mixed with water...

In order to prepare for this grand banquet, more than 500 fat sheep and nearly a hundred cattle were slaughtered in Rome. The soldiers stationed in the city used fishing nets to fish up thousands of catties in the Tiber River...

The soldiers of each legion enjoyed food in their own barracks. The 6000 Roman reserve soldiers did not have their own barracks. After obtaining the consent of Daves, Sextus led them to the northeast of Rome. Dining at Mars Square.

Rome City Hall borrowed the kitchens of nearly a hundred civilian families on the Palatine Hill, and hired its chefs to make dishes under the guidance of Chef Daves. The main camps of the various regiments successively sent personnel to line up in order. Go to Palatine Hill to collect food.

Long dragons extend from Palatine Hill to all directions in the city, and the scene is very spectacular.

King Davos took Croto Kataks, under the **** of the escort, to the military camps of each legion to attend the celebration banquet. At every barracks, he would walk to the soldiers with a wine glass, talk to them cordially, and at the same time let Croto Kataks replace himself, toast the outstanding team officers and soldiers to show encouragement.

Until this time, all the Legionnaires really knew that the taciturn young man who often stood behind the king and the young man who led the onslaught at the last moments of the siege of Phodine and Gabi was not the palace guard. The team officer, but the prince of the Kingdom of Dionia!

The soldiers were surprised, and even more like the gentle young man, and they toasted to him one after another. Croto Kataks also refused to come. After walking through the various barracks, he had already walked and beaten him. Akira, drunk talk again and again.

Davos had to let the guards help him back to his room to rest.

Finally, Daves and his party came to Mars Square, Sextus led the team officers to welcome the arrival of King Daves.

As a result, Daves proposed to stay and eat with these Roman civilian soldiers who had just joined the Kingdom of Dionian.

Not only the team officers, but Sextus, who is more familiar with Daves, was surprised. Before he could find a reason to refuse, Daves had walked straight to the soldiers without hesitation. Sat on the grass.
