"The Ministry of Finance of the Kingdom sent a letter asking us to transport the grains paid by the people of Naxos to serve as a land tax to Katane, saying that it was going to replace the old grains in the granary, but why should we take the new grains? The harvested grain is sent to the barracks?! The granary is in Katane, a dozen miles away. It’s not because you got evidence of the collusion between Laodixian and the Sikai people. We want to tell Sikai. You guys have used force!"

The words of Galademus surprised Diocasis, and asked with a slightly unkind expression in a low voice: "You must know that this time the citizen soldiers are called into the barracks. Have a military training, how did you know?!"

"I was the first discoverer of this incident, and your search of Raodixian’s mansion in Naxos was too loud. There have been some rumors, not to mention the number of people here—" Gala De Moss pointed to the surroundings: "Much more than the number of people in a military training, it is more like the soldiers of the entire army are gathered together. I am doing mathematical research, and I am more sensitive to this."

"Turiyi's trial of these illegal Sicilian elders has not yet begun, but the Senate must be angry about the Sikelians who bribed and used the elders, but it has not officially declared war, so you better keep it secret!" Diocasis warned in a low voice.

Galadmus nodded wittily, and then asked curiously: "Which team do you work for?"

The expression of Diocasis suddenly became a bit awkward. After being questioned by Gallard mode, he hesitated to put down the hand holding his left chest, and then Galladmus saw it on his chest. A scale pattern is drawn on his linen breastplate.

"You are a military judge!" Galladmus said in surprise.

Suddenly, the surrounding soldiers stopped and looked over.

"Damn Galademus!" Diocassis cursed in a bit angrily low voice: "Do you want to make me hate by the soldiers!"

"The military judge is what made the soldiers fear, and this position is really suitable for you." Galladmus shrugged and added: "The inspector of Naxos served as the army of the Eighth Army. Judge, it's really suitable!"

"No, this is not suitable at all! I used to be the captain of the first company of the First Army!" Diocasis said angrily.

"Why did you become a judge in Sicily?" Galadmus was also a little puzzled.

"It must be the ghost of those old men in the military department!" Diocassis gritted his teeth and said, "So now I'm going to the big tent to find the commander of the army, and let him transfer me back to my original position!"

"Looking for... the commander of the Proseus?! He is not a good talker!" Galladmus reminded him.

Thinking of the previous tough style of the Proseo legionnaire, Diocasis also felt a headache, but he still said firmly: "No matter what, I will try!"

"The commander of the Prosous Legion didn't agree and don't be disappointed." Galladmos held back a smile, comforting him solemnly: "The judge is actually quite suitable for you."

"You better hope that I can persuade the commander of Proseus, otherwise--" Diocasis straightened his chest and threatened with a smile on his face in a low voice: "The pack team will stop for me. , I want to search these grain burdens to see if there are other illegal things hidden in them!"

"Sure enough, you are still suitable to be a military judge!" Galladmus laughed without showing weakness.

……………………………………

The "big tent" mentioned by Diocasis is actually not a real tent, but a brick-and-stone structure-the legion command.

Leotizides, commander of the Eighth Army, was sitting on a wooden chair, staring motionlessly at the "Sicilian Plank Map" hanging on the wall.

The legion adjutant hurriedly walked to the door, and did not go directly in, but asked the guard next to him: "How is it inside?"

The guard complained immediately: "I have been sitting there motionless for most of the day, and I didn't eat breakfast in the morning. I have already heated it twice."

The adjutant patted him comfortingly on the shoulder, then walked in gently.

He coughed twice, and Leottizides did not respond.

He yelled softly, but Leottizides still didn't respond.

He had to yell: "Leader of the Legion!"

Leotizides finally turned his head, glanced at him, and said in a cold voice, "Stefros, what's the matter?"

Stiflos felt that Leo seemed a little angry when he mentioned Des, and hurriedly said: "According to your lord, I have invited Master Cipros."

Leotizides looked slightly awkward: "Let him come in."

"Leader of the Legion!" Steeflos had to remind him tactfully: "Master Cipros is a trusted veteran of Dionian, the chief executive of Katane, we can't be too negligent!" Steflos thought to himself: Your new legion commander is not even a veteran, so he should send someone to the barracks to meet him. Anyway, he should go out to greet him as a sign of respect.

Who knows, Leontizides raised his eyes to look at him with cold eyes: "I want to discuss important kingdom events with Lord Cypros. It is too powerful and will only attract the attention of the Sikelians. "

"The commander of the Prosous Legion was right!" There was a hearty laugh at the door: "So I came quietly."

"Sir Cypros!" Stephros hurriedly greeted him.

Ciplos smiled and nodded at him, walked into the room, seemingly not caring about Leotizides's negligence towards him.

Leotizides also stood up at this time and nodded slightly to Sypros.

"Master Proseus has any amazing decision, please tell me." I spent a few years with Leotizides in Katane. Although I didn't have much contact with him, Cipros knew about it. The character of the highest military officer in Sicily, he said, pulling a chair and sitting down.

Leotizides was not polite. He walked to the map on the wall and said in a deep voice: "I decided to lead the Eighth Army to the west tomorrow, bypass Mount Etna, and occupy Aguirion."

Stephenos was surprised when he heard this.

Sipoulos was still calm, and asked softly, "Why is it so urgent? You know that the Senate has not passed a resolution to declare war on Tannican, and Agilion is a friendly town with Dionia. Our allies!"

"Xenofennis sent people to sneak into the hinterland of the Sikelians to collect the information, I believe Master Cipros has read it." Leottizides touched the wooden board on the wall with his hand and said "Bang-bang": "The Tanikian tribe had completely taken control of Kefaro Idian a few years ago, the westernmost town of the Western Kyle, and later acquired the land of Enna. At the same time, they control Hena and Hebita, the two important towns of the Western Kyle. Most of the Western Kyle tribes west of Agilion, Morgantina, and Kenturipa are already under the leadership of Akoris, the leader of Tanyyan. Under the rule—"

Leotizides stretched out five fingers with his left hand, covering the center of the inland of Sicily, and said with an extremely solemn expression: "I think His Majesty Daves and the Senate have seen this information, and they will never allow it. In the western part of the Catania Plain, the most important part of Dionia, a unified powerful Western Kel force appears to be unkind to Dionia. The order of'Let our Eighth Legion launch war on it' is probably not Tomorrow, it will be delivered the day after tomorrow.

But by then, I'm afraid Tanikian will be ready to defend himself. Fighting in the mountains in the interior of Sicily is not good for us. We are not familiar with the terrain there, and the Westkels are good at guerrilla operations. In the past, they used this tactic to assist Dionysius and caused a lot of trouble to Carthage commander Margo. Once the war begins, I am afraid that our army will be attacked by the West Kells even when marching and camping in the mountains. This will inevitably make the war continue to be prolonged, and it will be very detrimental to our Dionia, because in Southern Italy, we Another war is being waged against the Dauni!

According to Xenofinnis’s intelligence, there are even some tribes supporting Tanikian in Agilion. The situation is already relatively urgent, so I deliberately declared that I would conduct military training, but I called all the soldiers of the Eighth Army. , Before the Tanikian tribe hadn’t reacted, quickly marched to Agilion, completely stabilized the important town of the West Kael, and at the same time frightened the other Si Kael tribes, so that they did not dare to fall to Tanik’an. . Then—"

Leotizides stretched his hand to a town icon not far southwest of Achillion, and said in a strong tone: "Take the weakest city of Hena first, and give the other Sikel tribes confidence and let them dare Rise up against Tanik'an who wants to unify West Kyle..."

After listening to Stefros, he felt excited, but he also looked at Cipros anxiously: Will the Chief Executive of Katane agree to such a bold plan? Although Cipros disagrees, he believes that Leotizides will still execute, but the Eighth Army will undoubtedly encounter great troubles and difficulties!

Sipoulos laughed: "It is said that you are not talkative, but I didn't expect to talk, but it is very moving!"

Leotizides didn't seem to think what Cipros said was funny, he still looked blank, but he understood the meaning of Cipros' words: "You agree?!"

Leotizides focuses on the military. He doesn’t usually get to know these high-level figures in the Kingdom of Dionia, and he doesn’t often walk around, otherwise he would know: Cypros is a flexible, flexible, A veteran who dares to break the rules. Not to mention that under his previous promotion, Trina fully supported Dionia in the Southern Italy League. After the South-Italian War, it was he who persuaded the people of Trina to make Trina the first great Greek city-state to actively merge into the Kingdom of Dionian (not counting Laos). Today, during his tenure as the chief executive of Katane, under the banner of friendly exchanges with the city-states of Sicily, he actually violated the previous agreement between Dionian and Carthage, and with these Greek city-states on the south coast of Sicily, Rujie Ra, Camanlina, Pachinus, Agrigento... etc. strengthened their ties, prompting them to have actually fallen to Dionia even though they did not form a clear alliance with Dionia. Therefore, these city-states have repeatedly sent delegations to attend the Hades celebrations in Turei.

"Why should I oppose such a good plan. Come on, what else do I need to do?" Cipros asked seriously.
