Daves said: "The Campania people are not in a hurry to urge the Third Army to leave. They even hope that the Third Army can stay for a while to prevent the Samonaites from revenge. So we don’t have to worry. , Anyway, the rations are supplied by them. We wait until the negotiation is over and our citizens settle down in the new territory before leaving."

"But in this way, the defenses of the Lucania area are empty. If the Samoneites risk an invasion, even if Abeni Rum is in front, I am still worried about Kopsa and Potten. The safety of Tia! Your Majesty, there is a shortage of food in the country. When it is impossible to mobilize legions from other areas to garrison, can a senior team officer be sent to the Lucania area to be responsible for the area and coastal towns? Prepare soldiers to organize and take precautions." Silos continued to suggest.

In the military system of the Kingdom of Dionian with regiments as the main body, the division of the army to convene soldiers needs to be trained in peacetime. The jurisdiction of the Third Corps is the largest, which not only includes the Lucania area. It also includes a part of the southern part of Campania and some coastal towns. Young citizens of Elia, Poseidonia, and Enona must also receive training from the Third Army and conscripts during wartime.

Davos agreed with Hiros's caution and said: "Yes, it is up to your military department to decide who to send to Lucania."

"Your Majesty, I recommend Zentiparis to perform the task of forming a new army in Lucania." Silos had already considered the candidate.

"Zantiparis?" Daves looked at Shiros.

Silosstan said sincerely: "Zantiparis has been in the army and the military department for many years, not only has rich combat experience, but is also familiar with military affairs, and now he is at home. He is the best candidate for the formation of the army and the command of the army." /

It seems that Shiros is not just recommended by Zanti Paris for the sake of the past! After listening to the explanation, Daves also felt that this candidate was quite suitable, he was relieved, and asked: "How is his body?"

"He insists on exercising every day, and he is still tougher." Hilos replied.

Actually, there are daily reports from the intelligence department. Of course, Daves has some knowledge of Zantiparis's physical condition. He asked this only to let others in the room know, so that no one would have an opinion.

"Then it's him." Davos immediately made a decision: Zanteparis was removed from the post of the military prosecutor, which is also a kind of compensation.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Next, let’s talk about Rome." Daves looked around the crowd and said in a more serious tone: "The cunning Romans pretended to say,'We must wait for their two military and political officers to return before discussing our requirements.' In fact, they are stepping up their attack on the Wolsi town of Sutnikum, and at the same time they also sent additional troops to sneak attacks on the Wolsi coastal town of Antium and infiltrate the Wolsi hinterland. Our messenger Protested to the Romans, but was once again perfunctory by the Roman Senate. The dignity of the Kingdom of Dionian did not allow the Romans to tease like this, and the precarious Volsi people continued our assistance! My sirs, in this way In this case, what should we Dionia do?!"

"Of course it is to fulfill the covenant with the Wolsi, send reinforcements to repel the Romans, and retake the lost territory of the Wolsi!" Anta Auris said loudly.

Corneiros and Lycias looked at each other. Cornelus did not hesitate this time: "Your Majesty, we cannot let the Volsi people be conquered by Rome, otherwise we Dionia will be in central Italy. The prestige among the forces will be severely damaged, and we must send troops! But can the Wolseys fully guarantee the food supply for our troops?"

"I asked the Wolsi messenger. He promised to guarantee at least two months of food supply for one of our regiments. In addition, they can also seek from their neighbors, the enemies of Rome, the Helnikians. Food aid, so in a short period of time, we don’t have to worry about the issue of rations."

Daves' answer made Cornelus no longer question.

"Your Majesty, can we only send one legion?" Melsis asked. There are foreign nations providing free food. He wished to send all the legions over to relieve the domestic food pressure.

"Wolsey is just a not-so-strong force in the Latium region of central Italy. It is already doing its best to guarantee the food supply of more than 9,000 people in a corps for several months."

Daves' answer disappointed Merses slightly.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Rome is not more powerful than Cavutini. This city-state is more powerful. I am afraid it will be difficult to completely repel the Roman army by relying on a legion!" Silos was a little worried. He is quite familiar with the situation in Rome.

Davers smiled: "Although the strength of a legion is a little less, there are powerful Wolsi as allies. In addition, the Wolsi are also preparing to unite with the Helniki, the Masi, and the Egyptians. The Kui people... these races fight together against Rome. Therefore, although we have only one legion, we are not fighting alone. Moreover, we only need to repel the Romans, not annihilate them, so I think one legion is enough for the time being."

Daves said this and asked: "Heros, which regiment do you think is more appropriate to send?"

Silos thought about it seriously, and said: "Your Majesty, the last time that we participated in the Downey War was the Second, Fourth, and Fifth Army. The Eighth Army also launched a war against the West Kailes in Sicily. , The Third Army has just finished the battle against the Kautini...It stands to reason that this time it should be the turn of the First, Sixth, and Seventh Army. The Ninth and Tenth Army have been established for too short a time and have not participated. The battle, lacks combat experience, and does not have the ability to fight alone. I think it’s best to send the First Army to the expedition. The commander of Armintas has rich experience and the strongest combat effectiveness of the First Army, so send him to lead the army. The Latham area shows that we value the Wolsey people."

Daves hesitated after hearing what Hilos said. More than ten years later, the old group of senior generals were either promoted to the military department, such as Hilos, Capus, Felicius, Hilonimus, etc.; they were commanders at the next higher level. Such as Alexis, the former Antonios; or transferred to a local government, such as Epithenes, Agarcia, Adrianx, etc.; and others because they are too old or tired of fighting. At home, such as Zante Paris, Alpins, etc. Only Amintas, who insisted on being the commander of the legion, did not want to leave, just like Dracos back then.

Daves believes: Dracos is indeed experienced and fierce in combat, and the First Army led by him is also an astonishing combat force. It is an extremely sharp knife. But Amintas was impatient and sloppy. He led the battle alone, especially if he wanted to stay away from Dionia and fight against Rome, which had an excellent general like Camillos. He was really worried.

But Daves could not explain this reason. After all, Amintas was a veteran in the army and a veteran of the Senate. He was quite famous, so he said: "I remember that the commander of the Sixth Army was Trotiras, when he was in the decisive battle with the Maple coalition forces, I was very impressed by the outstanding performance of the Sixth Corps he led. It was the first time to help the Wolseys, there was no need to turn our strongest The legion sent up, it seemed too enthusiastic and not so good..."

Silos understood what Daves said. He hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, if the Sixth Army is sent, Master Amintas knows, I'm afraid there will be opinions."

Daves comforted him and said: "If Amintas has an opinion, you let him come to me."

Silos couldn't say anything further, so he designated the Sixth Army as the unit to go to Wolsey.

At this moment, Lysias reminded a little worried: "Your Majesty, we are at war with Rome, I am afraid that Carthage will react!"

This is indeed a question to consider! Daves even knew from the intelligence department that the Carthage Senate had even discussed the matter for several days, but he did not hesitate to say: "We are here to protect our allies and help them resist powerful enemies. It is an irreproachable and legitimate action! If we have to consider what the Carthaginians would think in everything, that will not only restrict our hands and feet, but also make the people think that we are too weak and undermine the prestige of the overlord of Southern Italy!"

"Your Majesty is right! The Carthaginians have not had a good relationship with us in the past two years. Through this action, we can test Carthage's attitude towards us." Sedorum responded. road.

Davos nodded and said to Silos: "Inform Proseus, the commander of the Eighth Army Corps, to be vigilant, strengthen defenses, and always pay attention to the movements of the Carthaginians on the west side of Sicily."

At this moment, the court messenger Alistairs hurriedly came and knocked on the door of the office.

After obtaining Davers's permission, he walked into the house and passed the papyrus scroll in his hand to Davers.

After Daves read it, his face became a little ugly. Facing the curious eyes of everyone, he said in a deep voice: "The Carthaginians responded. They killed ours without our permission. Merchants and crew!"

………………………………

In the afternoon after Daves got the news, Carthage's messengers rushed to Turriy.

This time it was not Okriton, Dionian’s old acquaintance, but Preta Kuba. At the meeting of the Dionian Senate that was urgently convened at his request, this Carthage Facing the irritated and confused eyes of hundreds of Dionian senators, the head of the Magonidians of the Senate said loudly and indignantly: "The Dionians, since we were in Carthage more than ten years ago, Since signing a friendly agreement with you, we have been very friendly to you. When you were struggling to resist the army of Syracuse, Carthage selflessly provided you with a large amount of supplies! When you occupied Syracuse In Sicily’s territories, the situation is very turbulent. It was Carthage who took the initiative to divide the scope of their jurisdiction with you, helping you stabilize the trend in Sicily! Over the years, your Dionian domestic trade has flourished, and most of the credit should be attributed to it. We Carthage merchants! But you--"
