Camillos knew that after Rome fell, he was very sad. He gathered the Romans who had fled to Adi and formed an army. At the same time, he persuaded the Adi to join in, and then found the right time to attack the careless Celtic tribes who came to collect food at night and won the victory.
The news of victory soon spread to Latinam, Camilos became famous, and Latinas who were full of hatred for the Celtic aggression came to him, and the Romans in the city of Victoria also demanded acceptance. His command.
After taking the risk of being appointed by the Roman elders who are still defending the Acropolis of Capitoline and serving as a military dictator, Camilos assembled a growing team while attacking Kai who invaded the towns of Latham. Seoul Characteristic Food Team.
The situation of the Celtics became more and more difficult with the passage of time, because they lacked food and grass, and they were afraid of the attack of Camilos' army and did not dare to looting everywhere. A large number of corpses were piled up in the city of Rome. No one had to deal with and bury them, which caused the epidemic. In addition, the Celtics fell ill and died in battle, and morale was extremely low.
The Celtic King Brunus, who had been in Rome for half a year, could not persuade the leaders of many tribes, and decided to make peace with the Romans. However, the Romans who defended Capitoline Hill quietly learned the news that "Camillos is leading a large number of troops to Rome", so they refused to negotiate a peace.
Although Brunus was angry, he was helpless, but he was unwilling to leave empty-handed. Just as he was hesitating, he heard that Camilos led a huge army to rescue him. In view of the current low morale of the Celtics, Brunus dared not lead his team to confront them and was forced to order a retreat.
However, less than ten miles away from Rome, Camilos’s morale-bearing Latino forces caught up, and the two sides fought fiercely.
In the end, the Celtics suffered a crushing defeat. Most of them were surrounded and annihilated by the chasers, and a small number of people scattered and fled everywhere. As a result, the people of neighboring villages and villages all sent out to search and arrest them, almost slaughtering them, leaving only cloth. Dozens of people including Lennus and his cronies fled back.
This battle caused severe damage to the Celtics in the upper reaches of the Po River Basin and greatly reduced their strength.
Although the Romans suffered losses in this war with the Celtics, it eased the contradiction between the nobility and the commoners. The people who had migrated to Wei Ai returned to Rome and worked together to rebuild Rome. city. The Senate also promulgated some bills that were conducive to the reconciliation of the nobility and the civilian population, and at the same time took the initiative to recruit many exiles who lost their homes in this war with the Celtics as Roman citizens.
In view of the lessons of the defeat in the Battle of Aria, Camillos, combined with his previous combat experience, and after receiving the support of the Senate, reformed the Roman army. At the same time, Rome accidentally acquired a powerful country in the Western Mediterranean. In the second year after the Celtic war, Rome began to regain its vitality, and began to attack the surrounding city-states of Latin America that had separated from the Latin Union and abandoned Rome because of the war. After several years of hard work In the battle, most of the Latin cities have been brought back under their control and the Latin League has been rebuilt.
During this period, the Etruscans in the north took advantage of the favorable opportunity when the Roman army was contained in the Latham area, and sent a large army to encircle the Etruscans that Rome spent many years capturing and occupying more than ten years ago. The important city-state of mankind is now a colonial city of Rome-Wei Ai, and it is trying to force its surrender.
The Romans defended the strong city, refused to surrender, repeatedly repelled the enemy's attacks, and repeatedly crossed the river for help.
As soon as the Latin War ended, Camilos led the Roman army to attack the Etruscan army that surrounded Wei Ai on the north bank of the Taipei River.
The Etruscans, who had been ravaged by the Celtics, have not yet recovered their strength, while the Roman army that has implemented the Camillos reform military system is very morale. The two sides fought several times and Rome won.
After repelling the Etruscan army, the Romans did not give up, but after learning about the weakness of the Etruscans through the war, they seized the opportunity to continue to threaten Rome for hundreds of years. The Ruria's territory launched an offensive.
In a few years, as the important Etruscan city-states such as Tarchna, Velch, Novi, Volsinii, etc. have been successively In the capture, Rome also brought most of the southern part of Etruscans under its control.
During this period, the Volsi and Herniki people in southern Rome feared the rise of a mighty Rome and threatened the security of their territory, and from time to time they combined with other forces around Rome to invade Rome and its allies’ territories. And this time should be the largest in this decade.
Daves stared at Rome and its colonial cities on the map, as well as the allies surrendered to him, covering a large area.
Why didn’t he know how much trouble it would cause Dionia to grow Rome, but Dionia has been pouring a lot of manpower to integrate and unify Southern Italy and eastern Sicily for more than ten years And material resources, there is really no extra power to interfere in Rome in the middle of Italy, where it is unfamiliar to the Dionian people. Sending large troops is too expensive for the Kingdom of Dionian, and sending small ones. Units are easily eliminated.
He hoped that this time the Wolsi attack would pose a threat to Rome. It's a pity that he knew more about Roman history in his previous life from the Punic War. He knew very little about the history of the early rise of Rome. The only thing he knew was Camillos. Reading the information collected by the intelligence department and combining it with a little bit of knowledge he had learned in his previous life, he knew that Camilos, who was very famous in the Latham area at this time, was the card that was called the "Father of Rome" in the previous life. Mulhouse.
"Where is Camilos now?" he asked immediately.
Aristilas was taken aback, and immediately understood that Daves was talking about the person he had kept their focus on: "Before, Camilos did not serve as the expedition for Yite on the grounds that he was old and weak. The commander of Luria. He has been in Rome and there is no new news yet."
"It seems that this time the Romans will let him be the commander of the Allied Forces against Wolsey." Daves sighed lightly: "Watch this war closely and report to me at any time."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Alistairs replied.
Daves thought for a while, remembered another thing, and hurriedly said to his clerk Hernipolis: "Heni, you immediately give Sicily Katane, Naxos, and Siculi , Herbita, Hera... the chief executives of these cities wrote a letter asking them to try their best to persuade the people to sell the surplus grain to the city hall at an appropriate price after the autumn harvest for the people in Jinan and Italy..."
"Okay, Your Majesty. I will finish writing the letter right away and hand it over to you for review." Henipolis finished speaking and prepared to write a letter immediately.
Davers looked down at the Rome icon on the map again, and sighed inwardly: This drought is really not time...
…………………………………
Two days later, Daves met again in the palace, the Delphi priest Cretimony, who hurried over.
For Delphi's invitation, Daves did not show joy. On the contrary, he only politely expressed his gratitude to Delphi, but said: Unless Delphi publicly invites the Kingdom of Dionian to join the Holy League, Dionian will take action, otherwise, he will have to apply for Dionian proactively. It is impossible!
Crettimeni was stunned. He thought that facing Delphi's favor, Dionia would be grateful, but he didn't expect Daves to be so indifferent and arrogant.
Actually, if Cretimoni had a deep understanding of Dionia's national conditions, he would definitely understand why Daves did it.
Because Davos is not only the king of the Kingdom of Dionia, he is also the high priest of the Temple of Hades and the descendant of Hades, how can he take the initiative to worship at the feet of another god, even though these two gods Only the areas under his control are different, and it will also make him feel unable to explain to the priests of Hades and the majority of believers. But if it is the other party's initiative to invite, Davers finds it easier to accept. On the surface, this is just a question of the attitude of the Lord not taking the initiative, but in fact it is an important question of deciding who is in charge of the two gods in Dionia.
The two sides froze at this critical point, and no one can give in.
Crettimeni had to shift the topic to another matter—invite Dionia to the next Pythia Games, which will be held two years later (that is, the summer of 379 BC) .
Daves once again thanked the other party for the invitation, but reminded the other party: "Dionia is a multi-ethnic mixed kingdom. As long as the Pitia Games allow foreign citizens of Dionia to participate, Dionia will inevitably Team up to participate."
This condition is precisely what Delphi cannot agree to independently. Such an action that violates tradition must be approved by the members of the Holy League. Similarly, it is of course impossible for Delphi to risk angering Sparta by publicly inviting Dionia to join the Holy League.
Crettimoney thought he came with sincerity, but because of Daves' arrogance, he got nothing, and eventually he left angrily, and Dionia's joining of the Holy League was put on hold.
However, after the angry Cretiméne returned, he spread the rumors that "King Dionia was arrogant and rude to Delphi" in the Delphi area.
Davos disagrees with the anger of the priest Delphi leaving. He doesn't think it's time to intervene in the affairs of mainland Greece. As for Delphi's willingness to promote Dionia in Greece, Davos also laughed: For more than ten years, Dionia has been continuously attracting Greek free citizens from the vast territory of the Greek city-states in the Eastern Mediterranean. A stable channel without Delphi’s help.
