"Does the dictator know about your return?" Titus was obviously dissatisfied with Quintus's arrogance, so his tone was questioning.

"I wanted to report to the dictator very much, but he seemed to be in poor health. Lucius didn't let me go in and disturb." Quintus said with a contemptuous look on his face, and said in a heavy tone: "Tip Tus, this is very worrying! Can Camilos really still be able to command the army, lead us to defeat the mighty Dionians, and retake Rome?!"

"As long as the dictator is still alive, he will be the commander-in-chief of our army!" Titus said firmly.

Quintus was a little anxious, and blurted out: "Does Camilos really deserve your trust?! Since we returned from Herniki, we have been blocked in retaking Rome! Retaking Ostia failed! Rescue Gaby risk? Surrounded! Afterwards, some turtles huddled here, watching Tustron, Aricia...One by one the allies turned away from us, but did not take any action! Now the army of Dionia is about to be forced to the city, And we have nowhere to escape, isn't it Camilos' fault!"

Quintus's voice was so loud, everyone around was listening to it, and began to whisper.

When Tituston was annoyed, he didn’t speak so politely: "Quintus, you and I are all battle-tested people. It should be clear that from the Dionian invasion to the present, the dictator commanded the battle. Nothing went wrong, and I couldn’t do better if we replaced you! What's more, in the current predicament, only dictators can unite the entire army and stabilize morale! And we must also be united. Can resist the attack of the Dionians and usher in the hope of victory! Therefore, any attempt to create chaos is absolutely not allowed!" Titus looked directly at Quintus with sharp eyes.

Quintus' face changed slightly, and he understood that Titus was warning himself.

During this period, Quintus was dissatisfied with Camilos' conservative strategy, and he privately convinced Olus and Servius to put pressure on Camilos and change their combat strategy. As a result, Camilos, who got the news, transferred him to Antiium in advance, just to ensure the unity of the army. And the reason why Quintus violated the military order and returned privately was also that Camilos did not dare to punish him, and after he returned, he first targeted Titus to persuade, because of Titus’ prestige among the soldiers. Very high, can be regarded as the second person in this army, with the support of Titus, he can force Camilos to make concessions and even gain command of the army.

But before Quintus could fully express his meaning, the shrewd Titus had already made his position clear and blocked Quintus's mouth.

At this time, Quintus only felt anxious in his heart, but there was nowhere to vent, and his right fist slammed heavily on the battlements: if it weren’t for the fall of Rome, the news would be cut off, and the veterans would not know their life or death and could not play a role, otherwise they would just rely on it. His noble status as the patriarch of the Claudius clan has long accused Camilos of "passive avoidance", thus depriving him of command. But without the support of the Senate, his prestige in the army is not high. Except for the citizens and diners belonging to the Claudius clan, I am afraid that no other citizen soldiers are willing to obey the command. Otherwise, why would he be here in a low voice? The air of the little nobleman Titus!

"Unity and unity?!" Quintus sneered: "You are willing to accept the command of Camillos, who has lost the courage, and watched Rome slowly go to extinction, but I won't! Absolutely not! "

The angry roar of Quintus made the surrounding silence.

Titus watched him leave in strides, with a layer of worry in his heart. As the actual commander of these several battles with the Dionian army, he knew very well that Camilos did not want to adopt a more proactive strategy during this period, but even if the Dionians were in an offensive state, they did not. Relax your vigilance. Not only are there Dionian scouts cruising around Satnikum, but there are always tens of thousands of troops guarding the flanks of the siege troops. In order to avoid the trap of the Gaby battle again, Camilos had to adopt forbearance to preserve his limited strength and wait for a turn for the better.

But will a turnaround really come? Titus looked at the sweating soldiers in front of the city, thinking of the mighty Dionian army and their terrifying king, and his eyes were a little bit more confused...

……………………………………

In Sutnikum, Servius found Licinius, who had become a municipal official.

Licinius was questioned by the generals headed by Quintus because of his civilian status, and almost lost the power to command the soldiers in battle. But after returning to Sutnikum, precisely because of his civilian origin, the dictator Camilos appointed him as the municipal officer of Sutnikum, because Sutnikum was a newly established Roman colonial city. The people in the city are mainly Roman civilians who have migrated. Now that the army has been stationed for a long time, most of the soldiers are citizens of the Roman clan. Conflicts will inevitably lead to the dissatisfaction of the people of Sartnikum. Licenius is not only steady in his work. , And his prestige among the Roman civilians can also make the Sartnicum people better obey.

The appointment of Camillos was obviously well thought out, and since the army was stationed, even if the Dionian army is approaching, the city of Satnikum still maintains stability. It can be seen that Lisinius The role played in it.

Licinius and Servius are relatives, Licinius’ son Stolo took Ambustus’ youngest daughter as his wife, Servius married Ambus Tusi's eldest daughter is his wife, and both of them are brothers-in-law. But the relationship between the two parties is not very good, and there is very little exchange. Because Servius is a nobleman, and his personality is arrogant, behaved, and despised the civilians, he is in line with Quintus. When Quintus questioned Camilos’s battle plan, he clearly supported him. In the end Camilos Quentus was sent to Antiium, and Servius was in charge of the wounded camp in the city, quietly depriving him of the right to lead.

"Licinius, I want your help." Servius said bluntly.

"What do I need to do, please tell me." Licinius said politely, but he was a little dissatisfied: Is this asking for help? !

Servius obviously has no habit of observing the faces of others. He complained loudly: "The dictator asked me to manage the wounded camp, but there is more than just a wounded camp, it’s hell! Nearly 3,000 seriously wounded soldiers were crowded. In a small square, not only was the floor covered with blood, groans, and the stench, but also one-third of the people were not covered by a tent. Flies and mosquitoes flew everywhere, very disgusting! There was a heavy rain the day before yesterday, and some results The wounded soldier got caught in the rain and died of fever..."

Servius looked sad: "These are the warriors of Rome! They fought bravely for Rome, how can we easily abandon them, Mars will punish us! So I hope you can do it for these The wounded vacated some houses and sent more manpower so that they could be better placed and cared for!..."

Looking at Servius’s compassionate appearance, Licinius just wanted to disgust in his heart. He clearly remembered: When Camulus appointed Servius to manage the wounded camp, the nobleman The general turned black at the time, and even jumped up and cursed, saying something like "I will never take care of the dead!..." and then reluctantly accepted the appointment under the persuasion of everyone. As far as he knows, he rarely inspects and manages the wounded camp these days, and now he actually thinks about pretending to be a good person? !

Licinius showed embarrassment and sighed and said: "You are right. These Roman warriors really deserve good care, but it may be difficult to make room for them... …"

Selvius's face sank upon hearing this.

Li Xinius didn’t see him, and continued: "Ah...you know, I have already worked a lot to put our 13,000-strong army in the city! The whole west of the city Residents in the residential areas have all moved out for the army to live in, and they can only squeeze in with the residents of other urban areas. The people in the city have already expressed dissatisfaction with this, and we have finally managed to appease them. If we want to live again now Looking for new accommodation for the wounded soldiers, I am afraid that many residents in the city will be relocated again. This will inevitably arouse the anger of the people and cause turmoil in the city! In the face of an emergency that is about to fight the Dionians, it is best Keep the order in the city stable!"

Serveus immediately scowled and accused loudly: "Licinius, for the benefit of the civilians, you do not care about the life and death of the wounded soldiers, and you have the heart to let our warriors be in the wind and rain. Hit and wailing and die, do you deserve to be a Roman general!"

Licinius was also furious when he was publicly accused. He knew that if he did not fight back, letting these words reach the soldiers' ears would inevitably cause the soldiers to resent, so he immediately said sharply: Ervius, have you inspected the wounded camp since you took over the wounded camp! Have you ever condoned the wounded soldiers moaning in pain! Have you commanded your subordinates to build more tents to improve their living environment!... You keep saying that you are all for the benefit of the wounded, but that is just a lie! The real fact is-due to your negligence, the wounded camp has not been well repaired, resulting in heavy rain and some wounded deaths! You are right! This should bear an important responsibility!......"

"You...you!..." Servius was indeed criticized for the heavy rain, and after Quintus came back, he reminded him to take care of the wounded soldiers. After all, there are a huge number of wounded soldiers. If you are more or less intimate with the soldiers of the army, take good care of them, and you will naturally win the hearts of the army.
