But after listening, Midolades was still puzzled: "It's regrettable that the Greeks finally lost in the battle, but what does this have to do with Dionia?"

Henipolis, who deliberately sold the Guanzi before, laughed and said: "Because some of the Alenians fled to Italy and established Elia with other Greek colonists. This history is engraved in Elia. On the stone stele in the temple of Apollo. The Elia are now Dionian citizens, so the Alenia they once established should belong to Dionian too!"

Henipolis’ explanation was a bit irrational, but Midolades thought it deserved. He immediately stated: "The Third Fleet will retake Alenia from Carthage and wash away Greece. The shame of people!"

Daves was satisfied with his statement and further encouraged: "You go back and tell the crew of the Third Fleet that the retake of Alenia will not only hit the Carthaginians, but also inspire the Western Mediterranean. The city-states of Greece have deepened their friendly relations with Marcelia and become the heroes in their hearts!

And as far as I know, Alenia has a well-equipped, large-scale port. It is a military port and a commercial port. It can be used as a docking place for all the warships of the Third Fleet, which can avoid you. The pain of running back and forth. Once Alenia is taken, the Third Fleet can use it as a base to harass the island of Sardinia next to Corsica, attack the mining teams on the island, destroy their towns and villages, attack their cargo ships... …"

Midolades said emotionally: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will not let the Phoenicians on these two islands ship a piece of metal!"

Daves saw that Midolades was overly excited, and couldn’t help but reminded: “Now I can’t draw an army to support you. The mission to attack Corsica and Sardinia can only rely on the first The Three Fleet itself, so you must be bold and cautious at the same time, cherish your soldiers, and don't let them suffer too many casualties and make the follow-up plan impossible!"

Daves' words made Midoradston feel more pressured.

At this time, Cloto Catacs asked: "Father, our military action on Corsica will make the Etruscans feel dissatisfied and have other ideas?" /

Actually, Croto Kataks had discussed this issue with Daves in private before, and he raised it at this time, only to remind Daves tactfully.

Daves praised his son’s care and consideration, and then said with a serious face: “Don’t worry about this. Although the Etruscans often trade with Carthage, they are no longer alliances, and because of Carthage. Taiji strongly supports Rome and is dissatisfied, not to mention that the southern Etruscan city-state has just formed an alliance with us..."

Next, Daves looked at Midolades again: "However, try not to make your warship appear on the waters belonging to the Corsican land controlled by the Etruscans, and do not let the soldiers Enter their territory to avoid excessive stimulation. The powerful Etruscans who were originally afraid of us... Besides, I have no other requirements. It is up to you how to attack Corsica and Sardinia. Decided, I will not interfere."

Davos's words made Midolades feel more pressured. He took a deep breath and said, "Yes...yes, your majesty!"

Tolmid looked at the back of Midolades leaving and couldn't help saying: "He is a little nervous."

"It’s a good thing to be nervous, so that he will act cautiously, even if the Third Fleet does not achieve any decent results, but as long as the fleet roams around these two islands, it will bring a lot to the Carthaginians. The trouble. I'm afraid that Midolades is overconfident, loses vigilance, and takes risks, causing the Third Fleet to suffer heavy losses, and weakening our advantage, just like... alas!" Daves' words came to an end. , And then sighed heavily.

Tormid knew that Daves must have thought of Sekerian and the Sicilian fleet again.

At this time, Martius walked into the big tent again: "Your Majesty, the Captain of the Matonis Army sent a messenger to report back, and Aricia has surrendered!"

A smile appeared on Davers's face: "Hades, please, today is really good news!"

No wonder he is so happy. Arisia is not far from Tustron, just west of Lake Albalonga. It is an ancient Latin city-state, and has been the center of the western Latin region since ancient times, especially After the destruction of Albalonga. As you can see from its name, this Latin city-state has a very close relationship with the goddess of hunting, Diana Aresia, who is extremely worshipped by the Latins. For this reason, it once united with the Latin city-states in the west to resist the rise of the country. Rome, but after many defeats, he had to join the Latin League led by the Romans.

After Daves personally led his army out of Rome, he first stationed outside Tustron (the original Roman camp), and divided his troops into several Latin city-states not far west of Tustron. The focus was on Ah Resia. Under the intimidation of the army, other city-states surrendered one after another, and only the proud Aresians refused to submit to Dionia. So Davers ordered: Martonis led the Second and Sixth Army to attack Arisia.

Several days of continuous attacks finally saw results.

When Daves’ smile was fleeting, a stern tone followed: “If it weren’t for the feelings of the Roman civilians, the Latin city-states like Aresia who dared to rebel against us should have suffered like Gaby’s treatment, but even if it surrenders, it can’t be forgotten! Heni, you go and inform Tapirus and ask him to talk to the Arisians immediately, since Arisia is the saint of the goddess of hunting. Where the forest is, I can make Arisia a holy place for all Latins to worship, and let it take the place of Albalonga Mountain. But from then on, Arisia must not build walls or form an army, and its population must not exceed 5000, and It is open to everyone, and its safety is guaranteed by Dionia..."

"Understood, Your Majesty. Uh... It is said that because of this Diana, Arisia is still a well-known medical center in the Latin area..." Hernipolis reminded.

Daves's mouth curled slightly: "Can Arisia's medical skills match Dionia! I think Hades should be responsible for this responsibility!"

"Your Majesty, Arisia's surrender is a good thing, but it is a pity that he failed to lure the Roman army!" Tolmeide said with some regret.

Daves smiled slightly, and said unconcernedly: "The Romans have already been deceived once, so they will naturally become more cautious. Now their main force is still stationed at Sartnikum, which seems to be ready to defend. This is also a good thing. Without the support of the Romans, Arisia surrendered, and other Latin city-states in the west will soon make their choice."

Speaking of this, Daves' eyes became sharp, and he said firmly, "Tormid, you go and inform the whole army to prepare, leave Tustron tomorrow and march southwest, to It’s time to build a camp on the north side of Sartnikom to completely solve the Romans!"

Daves' words excited everyone in the big tent.

"Yes, I will notify the legions immediately!" Tolmeide responded excitedly.

"Also...before we sent envoys to these Latin city-states to persuade surrender, that Adi's attitude was the most resolute and even beat up our envoy..." Davers said coldly.

"It is said that Camillos, the Roman dictator, lived in Adi for a long time and received strong support from Adi in the battle to expel the Gauls. Therefore, Camillos has a close relationship with Adi. Mulhouse often gave Adi a lot of care in the Roman Senate, so it is not surprising that the Adi would do this. But then, for the survival of their own city-state, the Adi might have to give up their support for Camillos." Hernipolis comforted.

"Since Ostia was burned down, Adi was very important to us to attack the main Roman force entrenched in Satnikum, because it is not far from Antiium and not too far from the camp we will build. , And it also has a not-so-small port..." Daves squinted his eyes, his eyes gleaming: "We need to completely control this town to transfer and transport the army’s food supplies, so we can’t accept Adi. To surrender, but to completely conquer it!"

…………………………………

Outside the city of Sutnikum, thousands of Roman citizens are working tirelessly to build defensive facilities, to reinforce the city walls, the city is full of deer fortresses, trenches are digging wide and deep, and multi-layer traps are set up between trap belts. It also set up multiple outposts to expand the entire defense range... the entire city's defense mode was very similar to the defensive camps usually built by the Dionian army.

Because it was Titus, who first commanded the army to attack Ostia, who undertook this task. From his failure, he deeply realized the power of Dionia’s defense system. Transplanted over.

At this moment, he is standing on the head of the city and supervising the progress of the entire project. Although he sees the entire defense facility gradually taking shape under the efforts of sweaty soldiers, there is not a trace of joy on his face, but a look. Depression.

"General, Master Quintus is here." The subordinate reminded him quietly beside him.

When Titus heard the words, he turned around and glanced at Quintus, who was stepping on the stone stairs to the city, and the irritation on his face flashed away.

"Hey, Titus!"

Looking at Quintus coming oncoming, Titus did not have a trace of enthusiasm on his face: "When did you come back? The construction of Antiium's defense facilities is complete?!"

Titus’ tone was questioning. Although Quintus felt a little unhappy, he explained: “Antiium only has more than 3,000 citizen soldiers, and Pantius’s foot injuries are basically good. Now, he can complete this task alone, but I got in the way there, so I came back yesterday."
