"What did you say?!" Daves thought he had heard it wrong.

"Your Majesty, we don't have to attack Satnikum again, the Romans are about to surrender!" Hernipolis repeated happily from the side.

The reason why Daves just lost his stance was because once Sartnikum surrendered, Villitre, who had fewer than 3,000 defenders, could hardly be supported. It was almost impossible to tell, and Rome was completely ruined.

Thinking that Rome, which dominated the Mediterranean in the previous life, would soon be wiped out by himself, Daves seemed to be in a dream. He pressed his hand on the hard tabletop to stabilize his boiling emotions, and then said in a deep voice: "Gather all the high-ranking generals to the big account, and let them all come to witness the moment when the Romans surrendered!"

Oulus wore a white linen lining, a tailored dark red leather armor, and a big red robe. The corner of the robe was bent in his left arm, and he held the roll in his hand. The papyrus on the wooden shaft, with a short sword draped around his waist, was removed by the guard before entering the big tent, so he walked firmly with his right hand half akimbo and head held high. Into the Great Account of Dionia.

As soon as he entered the big tent, he saw nine people standing on either side. Most of them were wearing black military uniforms and helmets with purple and red caps. Oulus led his army to fight Dionia for several months. Knowing that wearing such costumes were all senior generals of the Dionian army, but one of them was wearing the costume of a Roman officer, and he was also a Roman appearance. Olus felt a little familiar, and he immediately thought that this person might be often used by soldiers. Sextus, the commander of the Roman rebels whom we scolded, gave him a deep look.

Sixtus met his gaze without evasive.

Oulus immediately closed his mind and focused his gaze on the center. The King of Dionia, also dressed in uniform, sat on a wooden chair, watching him with a serious expression.

Olus immediately bowed to salute, and said in Greek: "Honorable King Dionian, I am the messenger sent by the Roman dictator Camillos, the captain of the Roman legion, Olus Cominegne. Us Kossus, on the order of Lord Camilos, submit our letter of surrender to you."

When Daves heard this, he was surprised: "Letter of surrender?! Regarding the surrender, you are not going to mention some conditions first, and then surrender after reaching an agreement? Just surrender directly?!"

"The reason has been explained in the letter, and you will know after reading it." Olus raised the wooden scroll scroll in his hand.

Henipolis hurriedly took the scroll and handed it to Daves.

As Daves looked more closely, Olivers suddenly chuckled and said to Geogris beside him: "Look at the posture of the Roman messenger entering the big tent, I thought he was here to tell us, The Romans are going to fight to the death with us, but unexpectedly they came to surrender!"

Gioglis considered the mood of the Roman messenger and did not answer.

Martonis said: "Yeah, it's really disappointing! The siege is about to begin, my brothers are still looking forward to breaking the city and making contributions!"

……

Oulus turned a deaf ear to the ridicule between the senior generals of Dionia, just staring at Daves in front of him, while suppressing the tension in his heart, it was not that he and Meggius didn’t think about it. However, first sent envoys to negotiate, set some conditions, and finally reached a surrender agreement. This is more beneficial to them and less likely to arouse the suspicion of the Dionians. However, the spread of the plague in the city was too rapid, so they discussed Within one day, many soldiers fell ill, and the negotiation method is undoubtedly too time-consuming. When the surrender agreement is reached, I am afraid that most of the people in the city will fall. How can they hide the Dionians? They chose this trick-to write a letter of surrender directly in the name of Camillos, which can speed up the progress.

"So it is." Daves put the letter on the table, looked at Oros directly, and said, "Your food has been eaten. Many Roman soldiers have lost their fighting spirit and ran to Camillos' residence. Make a big noise, ask to open the city gate to let them go home...Oulus, is the situation in Rome really so bad?! In my impression, the Romans are tough and will not give in easily, but the Celtics occupy In Rome, you didn’t stick to Capitoline for half a year. Why did you surrender so easily this time?"

"The Gaul invasion was completely different from this time. The brutality of the Gaul made all the cities and races of Latham angry, and you Dionians—" Oros glanced at the plug. Kestus sighed unwillingly: "I have to admit that you have allowed many city-states to take refuge in you, including a large number of civilians in Rome, so that we can only fight alone now... see no hope..."

Olus’s remarks came from the bottom of his heart. Daves looked at him and asked, “How is your dictator Camilos? I heard that he passed out and fell ill during the battle. Fell into a coma."

Olus said calmly: "Master Camilos is not in a coma, but is quadriplegic and ill in bed, but he has a clear mind, can speak, give orders, and there is no problem with command and deployment. This letter is Written under his dictation."

Henipolis suddenly asked on the side: "You said in your letter that the city is starting to be short of food, but depending on your complexion, doesn't it look like you are short of food?"

Olus raised his head again: "I have just introduced that I am the commander of the army. If the commander of the army is hungry, how can I direct the soldiers to fight?"

"Does the generals of your Roman army endure hardship with the soldiers?" Geogris couldn't help asking.

"The Roman Senate had such a rule, but whether to comply with it depends on the self-cultivation of the Roman generals. This person belongs to the Comineneus clan, and that is the greatest nobleman in Rome!" Sextus Said suddenly.

"Hey, I really didn't think there was a Roman in Dionia's tent." Orus said contemptuously, but in his heart he thanked Sextus for explaining himself.

"In this letter, Camilos believes that I can give the surrendered Roman soldiers a good way out." Daves lit the letter with his hand, smiled, and said: "Since you belong to Comine Clan Nieus, I believe you have heard from those Roman families about our treatment of the surrendered Roman nobles. For large clans like Comineneus, it will be completely dismantled and scattered and placed in the kingdom. Everywhere, can you accept this?"

Olus's face changed, but he immediately said proudly: "I believe that the people of our clan can survive anywhere!"

Daves slightly chin his head, and then asks: "As for the surrender, do all the soldiers in the city already know and fully accept it?"

"They... did not express their objection explicitly."

When Davers heard this, there was no doubt in his heart. He raised his eyes and scanned the generals on the left and right, then increased the volume and said, "Well, let's talk about how to accept your surrender and the post-war Placement."

Olus breathed a sigh of relief.

Daves left Tolmeid and Hernipolis to discuss surrender with Olus.

After the army generals such as Martonis and Olivers walked out of the big tent, they began to talk about the surrender of the Sartnikum defenders. They all seemed both regretful and excited: regret is because they can no longer lead their troops personally. Go down to the city of Sartnikum and set up a complete defeat of the Romans; the excitement is because the Roman war is about to end, which means that the army will soon go south to fight the mighty Carthaginians.

At this moment, Matonis saw that the captain of his legion, Ketisus, was hurriedly approaching the big tent, and behind him was the head of the medical camp and the veteran of the Senate, Stacey Cordas. .

Catissus, with an anxious look, also saw his leader and rushed over quickly. Before Matonis asked, he whispered a few words in his ear.

Matoniston’s face changed drastically, he immediately looked at Stacey Cordas and asked: "Are you sure?!"

"There is only one person, and it is not completely certain." Stacey Cordas said solemnly.

"Go, follow me to see your Majesty!" After Matonis said, he turned and hurried towards the big tent.

Although the other generals didn't know what was going on, they also felt that something important had happened, and they all followed suit.

Olus wanted to end soon, so the negotiation progressed very quickly. When everything had been finalized, he sighed lightly, stood up quickly, and prepared to say goodbye to King Daves.

"Your Majesty!" Matonis hurried into the tent, rushed to Daves, and whispered a few words to him.

Davers's originally smiling face was suddenly covered with a layer of frost, and he tapped the table top with his fingers, making a rapid and powerful sound.

After a while, he looked at Olus with sharp and majestic eyes, and his voice was slow and powerful: "Oulus, there is a plague in Sutnikum!"

"What?!!!" Hernipolis, Tolmid and others exclaimed.

Oulus is like an ice cellar.

It turned out that after Oulus, Mejius and others conspired, considering that Oulus could speak Greek, he was appointed as the messenger. As a Roman nobleman, Oulus believed that even if it was a false surrender, he could not fall into the prestige of Rome. It must be carried out in accordance with Roman traditional etiquette, otherwise it would make the enemy suspicious. Therefore, he chose a team of soldiers who had been checked for health as his entourage. , And strictly required them not to talk about anything in the city of Sutnikum after entering the Dionia camp.

When these people were allowed to enter the Dionian camp, Oulus went to meet Davos, and this small group of Roman soldiers was left near the camp gate and welcomed many Dionian soldiers. The onlookers made them feel nervous.
