lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

Leotizides is also on the flagship of the Third Fleet. Because he proposed and planned this night raid to King Davos, and through the interrogation of the Carthaginian captives, he opposed Lili Bicheng has a lot of knowledge, so even if the second legion commander Matonis is more senior in the army than him, Daves still appoints Leonidzides as the temporary commander of this operation.

As soon as Leotizides entered the port, he kept observing the surrounding environment and comparing it with the situation revealed by the Carthaginian captives: the bay of the port was surrounded by more than 10 meters high walls, and the walls were separated by about four A tower was built in ten meters. Under the lighting of clusters of torches at the head of the city, it was covered with Carthage soldiers. If it weren’t for the Second Army to take down the natural breakwater, I’m afraid that the warships entering the port have already suffered from all directions. Rocket shot.

But even if he had successfully invaded the port of Lilibal and successfully seized the lighthouse, Leotizides did not think that the Dionian army could capture Lilibal in one day, so he initially The plan was to attack the port of Lilibo at night and destroy it, making it impossible for the Carthaginians to use it in a short time to continue transporting the army's weight and sources of troops.

But then King Daves' reply proposed that he should try to conquer the whole city as much as possible, and wrote at the end of the warrant: Sekrian may have a way to break the city.

Sekrian, who is good at naval battles, can do anything about siege on land? ! ...Leotizides has been thinking about this question, his eyes turned to the natural breakwater to the west: the warships of the Sicilian fleet are docking next to the embankment, and there are countless legionaries gathered on the embankment. Most of them were waiting in line, only a few soldiers ran to the lighthouse quickly under the leadership of the team officer. At the same time, there were soldiers carrying wounded comrades out of the lighthouse...The word of the team officers was ringing from time to time on the wall of the embankment, and there were also countless numbers. The dark shadows of shook, and flames rose in the city further ahead, illuminating the arrows flying in the air, and also illuminating the Legionnaires wearing black helmets and black armors and carrying wood. They are preparing Through the wall of fire...

At this moment, Leonid Zides couldn't help but squeeze a sweat. In his opinion: capturing the tower gate is indeed a key to opening Lili's defenses, but the aisles on the city are too narrow after all. , The troops could not be deployed, once the Carthaginians strengthened the defense there, it would be difficult to capture them in a short time, unless there is a miracle! Alas... it's still too short of time!

"Go and ask where Sekrian is?" Leontizides whispered to the adjutant Tagru.

Taglu immediately asked several Sicilian fleet ships passing by, and the crew all made the same answer: "Master Sekrian is in the port area."

The members of the Mountain Range Reconnaissance Brigade did not understand why the order to them requires them to capture all the workers on the dock after boarding the dock, but to minimize injuries.

Despite their doubts, the mountain scout team still faithfully executed the order. In fact, the mission was easy to complete, because the laborers gathered at the pier and were preparing to unload the cargo. When the tower guard sounded the alarm, they marched in the forefront. More than a dozen cargo ships have quickly approached the trestle bridge. The mountain scouts who emerged from the linen quickly jumped ashore. The workers gathered at the pier had not yet figured out what the situation was, and they became prisoners.

Under the guard of ten mountain investigators, these laborers were escorted to the trestle bridge. Then they saw the Dionians holding sharp blades, stirring up chaos in the port area. They were all frightened and dared not move. .

At this moment, the few Dionian soldiers who had been staring at them like ferociousness suddenly stood up straight, punched their left chest with their right fists, and yelled, "Master Sekrian!"

"Brothers have worked hard!" With this strong voice, a group of people appeared in front of the workers. The headed one wore a black helmet with a purple and red crown and a black breastplate. He was sharp The eyes slowly swept across the faces of the workers.

The laborers bowed their heads in fear.

"Are all the dock laborers here?" Sekrian asked in a deep voice.

"Except for a small number of people who didn't obey the dissuasion and tried to resist and escape...we stabbed them." The team members replied.

Sekrian took off the helmet, handed it to his men to hold, and then strode closer to the laborers.

The laborers pressed their heads lower in fright.

Sekrian stopped in front of a thin young worker, and suddenly his voice became hoarse: "Setonus, look up and see who I am!"

When the worker heard this sound, his whole body trembled, and he raised his head subconsciously, and saw the man in front of him with his back hunched, his eyelids down, and his eyes staring blankly at him.

"Fulkels! You are Fulkels! You are still alive, great!..." The young laborer yelled and jumped with joy, and couldn't help but grab Sekrian with his hands.

The soldiers following Sekrian immediately avoided his hand vigilantly, and the young laborer immediately awoke from the excitement, looked at each other and the soldiers clustering around him in surprise, and became anxious again.

"Don't worry, they are all my saviors!" Sekrian stood up straight again, said to the soldiers beside him, and asked them to stand farther away without worrying about his safety.

Then, when he turned to these laborers, the laborers who had been secretly looking at him curiously just now bowed their heads again.

He whispered with a sincere expression: "I am Fokles, and I am also Secrian, the commander of the Dionian Sicilian fleet. You all know that the storm destroyed Carthage and many of us in Dionian. Battleship, I was also blown by the wind and waves near the port of Lilibo. If I hadn't taken care of you during that time, I might not live today. You are my savior!..."

Sekrian's sincere words caused a commotion among the workers. The young worker named Setonus couldn't help asking: "You... are you really Sekrian?! That is known as the'undefeated general in naval battle' Sekrian?!"

"There are so many Dionian soldiers here, do I dare to lie!" Sekrian laughed.

"Oh my God, I actually lived with the noble General Sekelian who was favored by Poseidon for a while. It's incredible!" Setonus became excited again.

"General Sekrian, you know, we are not Carthaginians. When you were in this port...we all get along with you friendly, you...you won't let these soldiers hurt us. Right?!" an older worker boldly asked.

"Uncle Argyz...How could General Sekelian be so good that he could hurt us!" Setonus immediately defended him.

Sekrian took the conversation and smiled and said, "Of course I will not hurt you who have suffered and suffered with me! On the contrary, I will apply to His Majesty the King to let you join Dionysian. The Kingdom of Asia! I believe you all know that by becoming a Dionian citizen, you can obtain land, perform military service, and obtain public office. It is much stronger than the Carthaginian oppression of you here!"

"If it weren't for the Liliba soldiers staring at us every day, we would have found a chance to leave here! Lord Sekelian, we are willing to follow you to Dionia!" A worker immediately responded loudly, others The laborer nodded in response.

Sekrian is not surprised by the reaction of the laborers. He who has lived here for a while knows well: among these laborers are Greeks, Greek-Phoenician descendants, and Numibians. There are no pure Phoenicians and Carthaginians. These laborers have no sense of belonging to Carthage.

Thinking of this, he said loudly: "According to the "Diionian Law", if you want to become a Dionian citizen as soon as possible, you must make a contribution to the kingdom. So, now I need your help to make it as soon as possible Take this town!"

"Let us also...attack Lilibo's city together?!" Setonus pointed at the towering city wall in front, with a look of fear on his face.

The other laborers also have similar ideas. They were excited just now and now they lower their heads, not daring to make contact with Sekelian's eyes.

"Of course not to let you fight like our soldiers." Sekelian denied immediately, his eyes searched among the crowd, and finally fell on a wretched middle-aged worker: "Carmelus , I once heard you accidentally mentioned that there is a tunnel in the port area leading to the city. Where is this tunnel?"

"Ah! You...when did you hear me say it?" Carmelus was startled, and subconsciously wanted to deny it.

"Just after I invited you to a tavern for a drink, you were drunk." Sekrian stared at him closely, a smile on his mouth.

This Carmelus has a habit of stealing and alcoholism. He often sneaks into the homes of people in the port area late at night to steal and exchange stolen objects for alcohol. For this reason, he was caught twice by the port patrol and cut off one. With only ears and a finger, the other workers despised him and did not approach him. Only Sekrian considered that this person often sneaked into the homes of the people in the port area. Maybe he knew some secrets that others did not know, so he deliberately dealt with him. Thinking that he had actually obtained such a precious secret, he kept it in his heart.

There are tunnels leading to the city from the port area? ! ...The laborers were very surprised when they heard this. Someone immediately expressed their doubts: "Carmelus, you are lying. We have never heard of this. How is this possible!"

"With your identities, how could you possibly know such an important secret!" When Carmelus heard the doubt, he immediately felt that this was someone else's contempt for him. Instead, he straightened his chest and retorted proudly: "I But at the risk of his life, he obtained this important secret——"
