The indigenous warriors of the rebellion occupied the city of Mazara. While looting the city, they sent people to negotiate with Dionia, and proposed: As long as Dionia sends them back to Iberia, they will no longer communicate with Dai. Onia was the enemy and offered the city of Mazara.
Davers's answer is quite tough: They are not qualified to negotiate terms with him, unless they surrender immediately and unconditionally, even after death, their bodies should not return to their homeland.
Daves’ response made the native Iberian fighters angry but terrified. They wanted to kill the fear in their hearts. Therefore, the looting in Mazara turned into a massacre. The people of Mazara rose up to resist, but How could it be the opponents of these native warriors who are like wolves and tigers, they all become ghosts under the sword.
Who knows that a team of Lusitania and Celtics clashed for grabbing food. The conflict quickly turned into a fight, and the fight quickly evolved into a melee. The Celtics and Lusitani Demi, Iberians, and Phoenu infantry. They were not under the control of Margo, and their treatment was different. Originally there were some contradictions. Now in order to obtain more food, their people can get more survival. He did not hesitate to deal with other races...
All races in the city have been involved in this melee, and there is no way to stop it. Throughout the day, the screams and screams in the city continued to linger for ten miles.
The Dionian scout had long reported the news of the civil unrest in Mazara to Daves. Daves rejected the proposal of his generals to "send troops to intervene", but let the scouts continue to monitor.
When night fell, the city of Mazara was already full of blood, and corpses were everywhere. Because of the darkness, the various forces had to stop fighting, each entrenched in a corner of the city, guarding each other.
The weaker Phoenu infantry naturally gathered with the remaining Mazaras, occupied the port, and began to plot to surrender to Dionia.
At dawn on the second day, Iberian natives woke up from their sleep and found thousands of soldiers in black helmet and black armor appearing in the city. The Dionian army entered.
But in reality, it was the Mazara who took a clipper at the port and rushed to Silinus, crying for help from Daves, and willing to let Mazara join the Kingdom of Dionia.
Daves then asked the Sicilian fleet to urgently transport the soldiers of the two legions and land in the port of Mazara in the dark.
Yesterday's melee has caused a lot of casualties to the Iberian natives. Now the Dionian army has appeared in the city, and the horns outside the city rang and smoke billowed.
Even if the Iberian natives were fierce, they were already in desperate situation and had to surrender one by one.
Segsta and Mazara surrendered one after another, and Carthage's 100,000 army had been completely destroyed. Daves immediately asked Segesta and Mazara to send envoys to Eryx and persuade them to surrender.
Eriques-the Phoenician had no choice in the religious center of Sicily, and soon opened the door to Dionia.
……………………………………
After Eryx surrendered, Daves led the main force to garrison Lilibo, a military fortress built by Carthage. He held another military meeting at the lord’s mansion, except as far away as Sardinia. In the absence of the Ninth Army Commander Tygtinos, all the senior Dionian generals who participated in the war attended the meeting, even the Seventh Army Commander Zanti who was stationed in Palermos far away. Paris also rushed in.
"Your Majesty, congratulations on winning the Sicilian War! You led an army to conquer the entire island, completely drove the Carthaginians out, and created a brilliant record that the predecessors could not create!!!" Conference At the beginning, Tolmeide led all senior generals to congratulate Davers in unison.
This was obviously unexpected by Daves. His eyes slowly swept across the faces of the generals. He saw Tolmeide, Matonis, Olivers, Lizaru, Trotiras. The excitement on Zanteparis’s face, I saw the smiles on Alexis, Priintoles, and Epithenis, I saw the regret expressed by Amintas, and I also saw Leontizi The calm on Des’s face...
Finally, his gaze fell on Hernipolis, who was beside him. The court clerk seemed to be snickering because of Davers's astonishment before.
After a while, Davers looked solemn and said emotionally: "This victory belongs not only to me, but also to you outstanding generals, to our brave soldiers, and to contributing to this war. All the Dionian people who have gained their own strength! Without your excellent command, without the soldiers fighting hard, without the people’s efforts, there would be no glorious victory today! Here, I also want to congratulate you, and at the same time more I want to express my gratitude to you!" As he said, he solemnly paid a military salute to the generals present.
When the generals saw this scene, they were taken aback for a moment, and then they stood at attention in return.
Daves saw that they all seemed to be touched by his own words, waved his hand hurriedly, calmed down his tone, and said, "Sit down, stand like this and be seen by others, I'm afraid I don’t think we are. It’s celebrating victory, but encountering a strong enemy and preparing to fight to the death."
Everyone laughed.
Even Hernipolis joked: "Your Majesty, now in the Western Mediterranean, there is no other city-state country or race. I dare to go to war with our Dionia."
These words made the faces of everyone present show proud smiles.
Daves also smiled slightly and did not respond.
After everyone sat down, he said solemnly: "You made a small mistake just now. We did not completely conquer Sicily. Ortigia is still entrenched by the rebels of Syracuse. Of course, they are no longer worthy of our attention. But this war with Carthage is far from over. On the African land across from the sea, the wealthy Carthage may be desperately consuming the treasury gold and silver. We want to hire more soldiers, build more warships, and continue this war. So now is not the time to celebrate the victory. We cannot give the Carthaginians any chance to breathe. We must hurry up. Land in Africa and completely defeat Carthage! Only then, we can completely relax and cheer for the victory!"
After listening to Davers's words, the generals' eyes became eager, and their expressions became more excited: fighting across the sea and conquering Carthage, this will be a great glory!
Looking at these eager generals, Daves looked serious, and said in a deep voice: "Since the outbreak of the war, in order to provide enough supplies for our massive army, so that the soldiers can have no worries. In fighting with peace of mind, the kingdom has exhausted its treasury, various departments are squeezing finances, and the people are frugal. Even after the autumn harvest, the grain is almost exhausted...
Now we have to fight across the sea, farther away from the kingdom, and require more material. With the kingdom’s current financial situation, it is impossible to support such a large-scale army, so the number of soldiers sent in the past is not There will be too many, and I don't plan to go with the army again.
Fortunately, most of Carthage’s military power has been wiped out by us in Sicily. It is impossible to organize a powerful army in a short period of time, and we have formed an alliance with the East and West Namibians The Alliance, their army will go to Africa together and fight side by side with our army, so although we only send a part of the army to fight, we still have a great advantage! "
At this time, in Davers's eyes, the generals looked different, but they all revealed a desire to become the commander of the expedition to Carthage!
Daves did not give them more time to gestate and a chance to fight. He paused for a while and immediately issued a decisive order: "Now, I appoint Alexis as the commander, leading the first legion and the second legion. The Legion and the Third Legion expedition to Carthage!"
As soon as the order came out, some generals had a "sure enough" expression, and their expressions were relieved; although some generals were unwilling, they did not dare to raise objections.
Over the years, Alexis, who rarely actively seeks battles and is more and more indifferent to honor, immediately stood up, with rare excitement on his face, and said with a trembling: "Your Majesty... Together, fight bravely, conquer Carthage as soon as possible, in return for your trust!"
Daves nodded, did not say any more words of encouragement, looked at him directly, and said in a deep voice: "Time is tight, and there are only two days for your army to prepare for the expedition. Two days later, take the boat. Go to Africa!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Alexis, Amintas, Matonis, and Lizaru responded with salutes one after another.
"Olivers!"
"Ah... here!"
"Sextus!"
"Here!"
"Recently, I received a battle report from Taginos. The Ninth Army led by him successively attacked several Phoenician city-states on Sardinia, but because every city-state that was captured had to Sending troops, he is not strong enough to conquer the largest city-state on Sardinia-Kalaris, and Kalaris is now gathering the last resistance on Sardinia, so Taginos told me For help, I decided to send the Fourth Army and the Roman Reserve Group to Sardinia!"
Speaking of this, Davers looked at Olivers and reminded in a tactful tone: "In order to avoid excessive consumption of supplies, we must end the war in Sardinia as soon as possible, where Tigtinos is fighting. After two months, I have been familiar with the situation there and know the enemy very well. Therefore, he will temporarily serve as a commander. You must obey his command and assist him with all your strength to conquer Kalaris, occupy the entire island, and let Sardinia. Completely become the domain of Dionia!"
