"Boy, are you still a brave Samoni?! Show your courage! Regardless of those Greeks wearing thick iron shells, we can easily defeat three or four as a Samonais warrior. Greek soldiers!" Contruk exclaimed.

"Old man!" Badani was also scolded by Kontruk, taunting: "You have been in the mountains for a long time, and you don't know the situation outside. The Dionian soldiers are not Greek soldiers. In comparison, they can become the most terrifying force in Italy in just a dozen years, not because of the large number of people!"

Kontruk was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and shouted: "You coward! Coward! Not worthy to be Pentney's chief!"

"I am worthy of Pentney's chieftain. The people of Pentney decide that there is no need for an outsider who doesn't know anything to talk nonsense here!"

"Everyone, please be quiet! Are we here today to quarrel!" Lescuk held down Kontruk who was about to get up and scolded, and then said sincerely to him: "Honorable Chief , Badani has the right words to say, more than ten years ago, I saw the power of the Dionian army with my own eyes. After so many years of development, their strength has become stronger. But we really can't back down anymore, we must rise up to resist !"

Kontruk was satisfied with Lescuk's words, and he snorted and stopped making noise.

"However, how to fight the mighty Dionians requires our serious consideration." Lescuk continued: "First of all, it is best to trick the Dionians into releasing the thousands of captured prisoners. The Kautini people in this way not only strengthen our strength, but also let us have no worries in the battle. Therefore, we must pretend to respectfully agree to some conditions of the Dionians and trick them to relax their vigilance."

Usibic heard this and nodded repeatedly.

Contruck snorted without speaking.

"Secondly, we'd better not fight the Dionians on the plains. They are large in number, and they are wearing heavy armor and cavalry. It is more difficult for us to defeat them. But if we can lure them In the mountains, we can give full play to the strengths of our fighters and cause great trouble to the Dionians."

"Yes, we should fight the Dionians in the mountains we are familiar with!" Badani yelled his approval.

"But how can the Dionians be lured into the mountains? The Greeks are not fools. They have always hated fighting in the mountains." Kontruk raised his own question.

"We can discuss this issue slowly, and always come up with a good way." Despite what Leskuk said, his confident expression has obviously been considered. At this time, he said cautiously: "We still have an important problem to solve! We have to gather tens of thousands of fighters to fight against Dionian. It's okay for a short time, but after a long time, we probably don't have so much food. The vast territory will obviously not be defeated in a short time."

The words came to the point, which made several others ponder: The land in Samona is barren, but there is not enough food for long-term battles!

Badani looked at Kontruk and the high priest, then looked at Leskuk, and then interjected: "Back then, we organized more than 40,000 soldiers to attack Potentia, but we got the tin Food aid from the tyrant Dionysius of Rakuza."

"So we need an ally. He can provide us with the food we urgently need, and at the same time help us share the pressure of the Dionian offensive." Leskuk took the opportunity to take the conversation and said loudly.

"Allies? Who wants to be our Samona's ally?!" Kontruk said subconsciously. For decades, the Samoneites have been strong in central and southern Italy. They have always bullied others. They don’t need any allies, and they don’t have the habit of forming alliances. Apart from a fiasco over a decade, they were forced to become Dais. The alliance of Onia, this matter still keeps Kontruk in his mind.

Lesguk smiled slightly: "Yesterday, the envoy of Carthage came to Beneventum..."

Circeii (Circeii), a town of Volcy, is located on a headland on the south side of the Tyrrhenian Sea, with a mountain on the west side, and a plain on the east. Westerners developed into large tracts of farmland, and the coastal area to the north was formed by a series of swamps due to the convergence of several rivers. Such a peculiar topography made Selshes easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it also made it important for the Wolsi people. town.

Mountain races often have common characteristics in their later development. Due to the increase in population, they had to expand to the lowlands in order to obtain more land to feed the population. As a result, the area of ​​all the lowlands currently owned by the Volsi people is larger than that of the mountainous areas, and they also used Selshe and another coastal town not far away, Tarracina, as part of the Volsi Alliance. center.

On this day in early October, a huge fleet arrived on the sea south of Sershe. At the forefront of this fleet were 30 three-layer paddle warships, followed by more than 200 passenger ships. After that, there were 30 three-tiered paddle warships, and dozens of small and medium-sized warships were on the outside of the entire fleet for sanitation.

Wolsey’s messenger Metepola pointed to the blurry outline of the town on the far coast and said loudly to Amintas: "General, look, that is Selshe!"

Amintas, who had been bumping on the sea for nearly two days, looked dazed, but when he heard this, he immediately got alive and turned around and said: "Hurry up and sound the bugle to remind the brothers of the First Army, and the first General Midolades of the Three Fleet, we are about to enter the port!"

After giving the order, he said to Metepola: "It's a pity that you Volseys don't have a naval port, otherwise our fleet can be stationed directly in the Port of Selshey. With the cooperation of warships, we will attack the Romans. It will be more convenient."

Metebora immediately said: "General Amintas, under your guidance, we can immediately start building the military port."

Although the Wolseys have owned seaside towns for decades, they are mountain races after all. They are not good at sailing and are not very interested in sailing. Their shipbuilding skills are lacking and they have very few warships. . The same is true in Rome. There is no navy power among these forces in central Italy.

"When your military port is repaired, the Romans will have been beaten back by us!" Amintas smiled confidently.

Metebora had no choice but to follow her with a smile.

"Leader, the warship is beginning to turn around." Adjutant Hippogrita pointed to the front and reminded him.

"The Third Fleet has escorted us for two days. It is really hard work for them. I believe that Midolades and I will have a chance to join forces. This time I won't thank him." Amintas looked at The warships passing by, issued an order: "Prepare to enter the port."

……………………………………

Of course, the port of Sersche cannot be compared with the port of Naples. It is not only small, with less labor, but also inefficient. Therefore, the Dionian fleet approached the port and the soldiers disembarked and landed very slowly.

However, there are quite a few senior people from the Wolsey Alliance who came to welcome the First Army. Almost all Wolsey towns have sent important people.

Not only that, but also representatives of Aurunci and Sidixini, these two small races living between the League of Volsi and the League of Campania are also Persuaded by the Wolseys, they joined the war.

Amintas’s translator is temporarily useless, because Wolsey’s envoy Metropola introduced him.

Actually, since the Wolseys have a good relationship with the Campanians, and there are trades from time to time, most of these senior Wolseys speak Greek, but their weird pronunciation makes Amintas listen to them. It's a little difficult to get up.

"Master Amintas, this is the Archon of Selshe—Toulouse!"

"This is the Archon of Fundi——Blerius!"

"This is the Archon of Privernum—Carte Montaros!"

……

Most cities and towns in Wolsey have adopted the only consul government. The consuls are elected every year, which is a remnant of the tradition of the mountain race. In fact, the Wolsey Alliance is much looser than the Campania Alliance. Each Wolsey town is theoretically equal in the Alliance, and there is no rule on who should be the leader, but the rapid attack of the Romans forced them. Had to unite more closely, centering on Selshe and Polevernum, fighting against the Romans together. So the gratitude they showed when welcoming Amintas was sincere.

And Amintas also accidentally saw two Dionians.

Plintors, the staff officer of the Military Department, is the first. After receiving the order from the Ministry of Military Affairs, he went directly to Selshe from Naples, waiting to rendezvous with the First Army.

"Leader Armintas, I am ordered to follow your command in the First Army!" Plintors, dressed in uniform, stepped forward and gave a solemn military salute.

After Amintas returned to the Israeli military salute, he laughed and said: "What command! I only know that your majesty sent you to help me win the war. If you want to help Alexis and Lizaru, much Give me good suggestions!"

Plintors replied immediately: "No problem, as long as the captain is willing to listen!"

"Okay, let's talk for a while!" Amintas smiled, patted him **** the shoulder, and then looked at the other Dionian.

"Master Amintas, I am Tapirus from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I am ordered to come and provide you with some information about Rome." Tapirus received Dave after arriving in Port Ostia. Si's order made him come to Selshe alone.

"Your Majesty is so thoughtful for our First Army!" Amintas immediately welcomed Tapirus.
