"Father... dear, is it because the situation in the south has changed?" Patroclus asked hurriedly.

Daves is satisfied with his keen war intuition. A good senior team officer should be like this. His eyes should not only focus on a battle, but should overlook the whole situation. He looked at the other two people again. He Adoris and Croto Catacs also cast concerned glances. They had been fighting in Latham and had barely access to outside information. Daves felt that there was a problem. It is necessary for them to understand the situation in other battlefields.

"Since Alexis defeated the Allied Forces of Samona in Asculum and Venosa twice, the Samonas did not attack the kingdom's territory, and instead attacked the Campania Alliance. Conquered Pompeii, Herculaneum, Tesala and other city-states, and finally besieged Naples—"

"Isn't the Campania League in danger of annihilation? Have we sent troops to rescue?" Cloto Catacs asked in surprise.

Davers laughed and said: "Before attacking the Campania League, another incident happened. Chief Cavutini trapped and killed the leader of Naconia, Quinduk, who had remained neutral, and captured In the Naconian Territory, his actions obviously stimulated Gherny of Abeni Rum. Not only did he decide to make Abeni Rum the free city of Dionia, he would also assist us in the offensive. Samona’s tribal alliance. The Ministry of Military Affairs therefore formulated a new combat plan to allow Alexis to lead an army to attack the Samona Mountains from the east—"

"Father, I remember you reminded the Ministry of Military Affairs again and again not to let the army attack the Samona Mountains!" Cloto Kataks exclaimed. He was a little worried about Hiros and Philip of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Several adults in Sri Lanka will be reprimanded by their fathers for making claims.

"Yes, I have made such an order." Daves looked calm, he said: "But now the situation has changed, and the Ministry of Military Affairs secretly ordered Potentia to summon soldiers and quietly talk to Abbe. Nerum’s army joined together. They were familiar with the Samona Mountains and were good at mountain warfare. The Samoni people wanted to induce us to attack the mountains. Instead, we set up an ambush in Aquilonia and completely defeated them. A main force in the mountains!

Now, Alexis led a coalition force of nearly 20,000 to directly attack Beneventum, and the Samona coalition forces that besieged Naples must withdraw and return to their defenses. In this way, we have the dominance of fighting against the Samoneites, whether it is against the Allied forces of Samona in Beneventum, or the Allied forces in Campania unite and attack Samone on the Eastern Plains. The towns of Chennai, or in the Dauni area, our remaining army will continue to attack other towns in the Samoney Mountains by taking advantage of the great opportunity of the enemy’s main force being pinned down..."

"So, we don't need our help anymore in the war with the Samoneites." Adoris's tone was disappointed, and he immediately asked, "Father, what's the situation in Sicily?"

Davos's face was full, and said slowly: "Since Plesius defeated the Carthage army in Minoa, soon our Sicilian fleet and the Carthage fleet were on the sea near Silinus. There was a great battle, and as a result... a large sea storm destroyed almost all the ships of the enemy and us. Flarios drowned. There is no news from Sekrian so far. More than 10,000 sailors have died—"

"What?!" The three people showed shocking expressions. They never expected: While they were still fighting in the north, such a tragic loss would have occurred in the southern waters!

Daves continued: "The Fourth Fleet has been transferred to Sicily, and we still have the advantage of the sea. Alexis led his team to capture Serinus, and the remaining troops of the Carthaginians held fast. An important town did not dare to attack, so Alexis sent troops to looting and destroying the Carthaginian ruled area in Sicily in order to achieve the purpose of active defense.

However, the disastrous defeat of the Carthage army led to the Iberian Governor of Carthage, Margo, becoming the new commander of the Carthage army. Now the entire coast of Africa and Iberia are gathering soldiers and forming an army to prepare to land in Sicily. , A new battle is about to unfold! We must get rid of the Romans and Samonaes as soon as possible, and rush to the south to fight our worst enemy Carthage to the death! "

Daves' words not only made the three young people feel the urgency of the situation, but also made them feel excited.

………………………………………

On this day when Daves set up banquets, held competitions, and rewarded soldiers in Rome, the huge fleet of Iberian troops was ushered in at the port of Utica.

Utica, the Phoenician city-state second only to Carthage on the continent of Africa, is located on the seashore about 110 miles west of Carthage.

Margot’s ship docked first, and he walked onto the pier in a uniform, and the elders headed by Preta Kuba immediately greeted him: "Master Margot, welcome back!"

Marco gave Pretakuba a warm hug, and said emotionally: "Thanks for your hard work, Pretakuba! Thanks to you for my absence for the past few years! Thanks to you!..." /

Preta Kuba patted his thick shoulders and said excitedly: "It's fine if you come back, we will have hope when you come back!..."

Then Margo warmly greeted the other Magonis elders.

"Master Margot, welcome! You have finally led the army!" An old man with white beard and hair greeted him.

"Respected Lord Aisyaluba!" Facing the head of the neutral faction and the prestige of the Senate is second only to Hanno's Asyaluba, Margo saluted and said solemnly: " Carthage is in distress. As a descendant of the founder of the city, how can I just sit back and watch it!"

"I'm glad you can think this way, and do it this way. This is exactly what all Carthage citizens expect of you!" Aisi Yaruba said sternly.

"All?!" Marge showed a sneer, and greeted his elders with a finger, and said: "This sentence is wrong, at least some people who haven't come here don't think so."

"These veterans who did not come have gathered more than 60,000 soldiers for you, and are still raising a huge amount of food for you to supply this army, and are urging shipyards and other allies to speed up the construction of warships... …So don’t be overly suspicious of your compatriots, they are also making their own efforts for the future of Carthage!" Said Aisyaruba heartily.

This made Margo hesitate to speak again. He thought for a while, and his tone became more gentle: "Unlike the natives of Syracuse, Numibia, and Iberia, the Dionians are Our real powerful enemy requires our best efforts to defeat it! Therefore, I will try my best to maintain the unity of Carthage, and I hope Lord Isyaloba can play a greater role in this regard!"

"Don’t worry, the previous fiasco has taught us a lesson. Whether it is Hanno, me, and other elders, I hope you can win, because failure will mean disaster for Carthage! We will do our best. Support you fully until you drive the Dionians out of Sicily and force their king to choose a humiliating peace talk!" Isyaloba promised.

Marco thanked him for this, and then he turned to look at the port, waiting for the soldiers under his generals to come ashore to gather and lead them out of Utica.

Among the more than 20,000 soldiers led by Margo, there are not many Carthaginians and Phoenicians. They are the same as the army led by Hasdruba before. Most of them are mercenaries. The different looks and different attire of the Kyrgyz and Phoenicians not only attracted the curiosity of the Uticans, but also made the veterans who came here to greet them to comment on it.

At this time, a few more boats came to shore, and from the boat was a group of brawny men wearing striped trousers and topless. All of them were burly, muscular, densely hairy, and embroidered strangely. His tattoos, tousled short hair, tousled beards and fierce faces caused people in the port to cry out in exclamation as soon as they landed ashore.

This made them seem to be irritated. They slapped the long shield of the right hand with the long sword of their left hand, and yelled "Woo" in their mouths. They looked even more hideous and scared most of the onlookers. The Tikka turned around and fled, and the scene was a bit chaotic for a while. Fortunately, their leader drank them in time, but this did not guarantee that they would be able to line up at the port in peace.

"A group of terrible savages! They are also from Iberia?" Aisi Yaruba also asked in surprise.

"The Celts in the mountains of northern Iberia, they fought without fear of death, and the other natives of Iberia were afraid of them. It happened during this time that flash floods, livestock and food occurred in the area they were in. They were all washed away and faced with a famine, so I exchanged thousands of cattle and sheep for their help. I believe that with them, our war against Dionia will be smoother!" Margo said confidently.

"I hope so. However, this is also the reason why the Senate did not allow your army to land in the port of Carthage. The people have a bad impression of you." Aisiyaloba solemnly reminded.

Margo once again expressed his gratitude for Isyaluba’s kind reminder.

After all the soldiers came ashore, Margo's men gathered them and took them away from Utica City, and began to camp outside the city, while Margo followed the elders to Carthage City.

In the past ten years, although Margo has lived in southern Iberia for a long time, he has also returned to Carthage many times, but he never expected to encounter the situation like today: almost all the people in the city He ran out and crowded on both sides of the road. As soon as he entered the city, there was thunderous cheers all around. The people shouted his name and threw petals blooming at him...
