Early in the morning, at the commander’s residence in Asprostum, the adjutant knocked on the door of the commander’s Epithenis bedroom, and the door was opened by a young man with a thin body.
The adjutant has become accustomed to it, and shouted into the house: "Legislative Commander, an urgent letter from the Senate!"
"Got it." A lazy voice came from the room.
After a while, Epithenis was seen walking out of the bedroom naked and taking the letter from the adjutant.
The man stretched his head to see, Epithenis patted his face with his hand, and said affectionately: "You go back first, and I will look for you when I look back."
The young man went back to the bedroom wittily and put on his clothes, and did not forget to kiss Epithenis on the cheek when he left.
"This young man is not bad, Tarantum, a noble origin, very educated, but unfortunately the family has been ruined." Epithenis looked at the man's back and said to the adjutant with some ostentation.
The adjutant didn't speak, he didn't want to comment on the hobbies of his superior.
"Oh, yes, look at the letter first." Under the adjutant's urged gaze, Epithenis opened the letter. After reading it, he blew a whistle: "Master Daves asked our Fourth Army to be in 10 I rushed to Xiliting to rendezvous with the troops of the Southern Italian League before the month before, and then prepared to launch an offensive against Lorrie."
"Great!" The adjutant said excitedly: "Let's go and notify the chief executives of Asprostum and Crimea, issue an executive order and notify the legionaries of the two cities, tomorrow Assemble and report in the square in Crimea (the square in Asprostum is too small to accommodate 8,000 legionaries)."
"We don’t need to worry too much. The letter is very clear. It’s enough to arrive at Xiliting before October. This shows that Lord Daves has no desire to fight Lorry urgently. Go too early and eat your rations. It’s a waste. We still have more than ten days to make preparations. I can just discuss the transportation of rations and other preparations with the two chief executives. At the same time, we will wait. The soldiers who participated in the rugby match first returned to the team."
Epiteans made a lot of sense, and the adjutant said helplessly: "Well, you are the commander of the legion, you have the final say. But I am afraid that Dracos will lead the Fifth Legion too early, so I can’t wait. I'm afraid we will curse."
"That serious stubborn donkey, to be honest, I'm also afraid of him getting angry." Epithenis shrugged helplessly, and both of them laughed.

Dracos is supervising the training of soldiers at the Fifth Army barracks outside Cosenza.
He was supposed to be transferred back to the Legion by Daves the year before, but after several transfers, he refused to obey. The reason was that he was only good at fighting and could not do copywriting work, even if he didn't exercise anymore. Daves can’t take him, because in accordance with the military law: the corps commander shall not serve in a corps for too long (mainly because Daves fears that for too long, the soldiers will develop a sense of dependence on the corps commander and weaken his position in the soldiers. Prestige in the heart), so he had to be sent to Cosenza as the commander of the newly formed Fifth Army Corps. Drax did not live up to Davers's trust. In just a few years, through rigorous training, he trained the unsophisticated Bruti into a qualified Legionnaire.
"Legislative commander, the Senate sent by Cosenza an urgent letter!" The guards hurried over.
Dracos unfolded the letter and read it, his face immediately beamed with joy, and shouted: "Herald! Herald!"
"I am here, commander of the legion."
"You immediately let your subordinates hold this urgent letter and go to Vig, Knapetia, and Ambalia, and inform the soldiers of the Fifth Army to report to the square in Cosenza tomorrow. They will be late. The person will be punished with 30 army sticks!"
"Yes!"
"Leader, is it going to go to war?!" the adjutant asked excitedly.
"We have declared war on Lockley for so long, and now we have issued a mobilization order. What is so happy!" Dracos said with some dissatisfaction, and then asked the lieutenant: "You are here to supervise them and train well, I Immediately rush to Cosenza to discuss the dispatch of troops with Chief Executive Felicius."
The adjutant remembered something and reminded Dracos: "League commander, we still have some soldiers participating in a rugby match in Turei, you see--"
"Don't you say I almost forgot." Dracos thought for a while, and said: "Find the soldiers from the reserve team to take their place first, and send someone to Turri to urge them to come back soon, otherwise I missed it. Fight, don't blame me."

Agsilius lay in the big tent, with a solemn expression: Today, the Spartan coalition and the anti-Spartan alliance have formed a stalemate in the Isthmus of Corinth. The enemy has repeatedly repelled the Spartans by relying on the strong defense of Corinth City. Da's offense made him helpless.
It’s not that Agsilius doesn’t want to open up a second battlefield, but the Spartan fleet has been hit hard, and the **** Athenian Konun led the huge fleet prepared by Persia directly into Piraeus. Sparta, handing over the entire fleet to Athens, caused Sparta to face the same predicament decades ago-they lost the ocean.
Damn the Persians, this is definitely their secret trick! Agsilius cursed secretly, but he obviously forgot that it was what he did in Asia Minor that led to the consequences today.
At this time, someone opened the tent: "King Agsilius, I am here."
"Phoebe Das." Agcilius was about to sit up.
Phoebidas dared to step forward, hold him down, and said with concern: "I heard that you were not in good health these days, and you fainted yesterday, so don't stand up."
Phoebedas said, sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Agassilaus was not hypocritical, still lying halfway on the couch, and said: "This is an old problem, and it will be better after a few days of rest (in fact, he is a sequelae of polio). This time. I am calling you because the council of elders will send someone an urgent letter."
Agsilius' expression became serious: "Syracuse is about to attack Great Greece, so I asked us for help and asked to send a military proficient general to help them defeat Dionia."
"What?! Dionysius is about to start the Great Greece War at this time, what aid he promised to give us?!" Phoebe Das was taken aback.
"Naturally there is no more..." Agsilius sighed helplessly: "According to Syracuse, Dionia first declared war on Lockley, forcing them to invest in protecting their allies. Fighting...but you and I all know about the assassination of the Archon Dionian ten days ago. Although Dionian claimed that it was done by the Rockies, the truth is probably not that simple."
"Damn Dionysius! This untrustworthy bastard!" Phoebe Das yelled, "If it wasn't for our Sparta to support him, how could he be the tyrant of Syracuse? Location!..."
"Although Dionysius is irritating, Dionian and Athens have strengthened their ties some time ago. You must know that the former Turíy was established by Athens and has always been an ally of Athens..." Ah Gesilaos stared at Phoebedas and said solemnly: "Therefore, since this Great Greek War is inevitable, Dionia must not be allowed to win! So I recommend you to the Council of Elders, yours. I know the ability, but I hope you can put aside your grievances against Dionysius and help Sparta to win this war with all your strength!"
After listening, Phoebe Das nodded heavily and said: "King Agsilius, rest assured, I will help Dionysius defeat Dionia as soon as possible, and then let him send troops to help Spaa as soon as possible. Up!"
Agsilius reminded him cautiously: "You must not be careless, let alone underestimate the young Archon Davors of Dionia! You know, he has never failed in a battle so far. Otherwise, the Alliance of Dionians will not rise so fast, surpassing our Spartans’ expectations! Dionysius felt this pressure before asking us for help! He used to During the war with Carthage, I didn’t take the initiative to ask for our help before the war like this time. I also said that once there was a battle with Dionia and the Allied Forces of Southern Italy, I was willing to let the Spartan generals take command. ."
"Dionysius is really not good at fighting, and Daves--" Phoebe Das thought about it seriously, and said excitedly: "Although I don't like this person, I have to admit that he does He is a good opponent, but I have the confidence to beat him!"
Agsilius looked at him for a long time, then nodded and said, "Yes, we Spartans have to be fearless. You can go back to the team now, make a handover, and rush to Syracuse. ."
"Yes!"
Looking at Phoebeidas leaving, Agcilius always had a trace of worry in his heart. The young Dionian Archon who had never met but was always victorious not only gave it to Dionysius The pressure also puts invisible pressure on King Spartan who has been paying attention to Dionia...

At the same time, at a mansion in the city of Athens, the chief general of Athens, Serasibulus, was talking with Isocrates.
Isocrates, who is usually noble, is quite respectful when facing Serasibulus, because in his heart, Serasibulus is a person worthy of his respect.
During the "Thirty Tyrants" rule, a large number of Athenian citizens were persecuted and fled elsewhere. The democratic Serassibulus did not escape, but led a group of Athenian citizens to establish a resistance base at the junction of Attica and Piosha. This team rebelled against Athens controlled by Sparta) in an attempt to overthrow the brutal rule of the tyrants and restore independence and democracy to Athens. Under the leadership of Serosibulus, this small team defeated the powerful tyrant army with fewer enemies and many defeats.
