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

Adoris thought for a while and said regretfully: "From the usual practice, it should be the time for the quarter-finals or the quarter-finals now. It is probably not good to see it."

The soldier in front of Adoris turned back and interjected: "Don’t have dreams. Even if this war is over soon, we will not be able to go back immediately. We will definitely be stationed in the towns of Dawny to ensure that the officials of the kingdom. Isn’t it what Mesapi and Puchetti did in the past for the safety management of this area!"

"I heard that the Daunis are not as fierce as the Mesapis and the Puchettis. They should not always riot like the Messapis. Maybe we don't have to stay here for so long." Another soldier guessed. .

"That's your naive idea. His Majesty King Davos and the Senate don't think so, do they, Adoris?" The soldier in front looked at Adoris.

Adoris shrugged: "I don't know this, but I hope everyone can go home safely and enjoy the rewards given by the kingdom."

"You said that based on the credit we made in this war, can we divide one or two acres of land here. The land here is fertile and no worse than the Subari Plain."

"How do I know, you should ask the statistician of the heavy camp."

……

Between talking and laughing, the soldiers forgot the hard work of the march, and reached the lower reaches of the Cervaro River after more than three hours.

The city of Sipentum is on the north bank of the Cervaro Estuary, where it happens to be the confluence of several rivers, forming a large lake.

According to Alexis, West Pentum has a relatively good port, and taking it will facilitate the transportation of the entire army.

At this moment, the messenger galloped from the front, shouting all the way: "The enemy is found on the other side, ready to fight!"

The soldiers suddenly became excited. After all, fighting the enemy outside the city is much easier than attacking the city. This is a low-hanging fruit.

Soon, the command of the company captain was also conveyed in time: the column changed into a horizontal formation.

Adoris and the others, facing the Candelaro River, lined up in a small company formation under the command of the team officers.

At this moment, there was a huge sigh in front of him.

"What happened?"

"Hey... I heard that the Sipentum people are going to surrender their city!"

"Ah?!..." The soldiers sighed suddenly.

The team officers warned them not to relax their vigilance and guard against deception by the enemy.

However, the Sipentum people really simply surrendered like this.

The defeat of the Battle of the Ofanto River, the city of Lucenia was taken in just one day, and the powerful military power displayed by the Kingdom of Dionia completely shocked the Dauni tribes, not only Sipentum, Weiss Towns such as Tehran and Askurum also surrendered one after another, and the Downey War finally came to an end...

…………………………………

At the beginning of November, the weather in Turrii began to cool down, and the enthusiastic atmosphere that was set off for nearly a month in the Rugby Finals in early October has just subsided, and the triumphal ceremony that will be held soon will bring the whole city into a holiday-like atmosphere again. In a joyous atmosphere.

At this time, in the military camp west of the city of Turiyi, some soldiers of the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Tenth Corps are excitedly looking forward to the triumphant arrival at an early date.

In the commander's tent, Alexis is receiving a visitor from the military department.

"You mean...we have to wait here for two more days?! My brothers have been out for more than two months and are eager to go home, but you let us wait here for five days!" Lexis complained a little unhappy.

"This is not what I meant, it is meant by your majesty and the Senate, I am only responsible for conveying it." Tolmid said sternly

As soon as I heard that it was Daves's will, Alexis stopped talking, but he was still a little unhappy on his face.

Tolmeid explained patiently: "The Eighth Army is on the way and will be there tomorrow. Your Majesty hopes to combine these two victories and engage in a big triumph, avoiding just holding one. There will be another one in two days. The people will feel bored and it is not fair to the soldiers fighting in the blood. Your Majesty is afraid that you have ideas. I specifically asked me to inform you. I hope you can be considerate!"

Alexis realized that he was overly emotional just now, and hurriedly said: "I have no opinion, we can wait. We are very happy to be able to participate in the Triumphal Ceremony with the Eighth Army led by Prosius!"

"These young officers in the kingdom now are amazing!" Tormid exclaimed: "Like Proseus, who is less than 40 years old, he can already be in charge of a battlefield and command a war!"

"Where is Proseus from?" Alexis asked curiously.

"Argoss, Turíy, who came to the Dionian League after the establishment of the Alliance, was directly called to his brigade by Matoris because of his excellent performance in the training camp..." Tolmid Serving in the general staff, the information for the officers is relatively clear.

"It seems that Proseus has always performed well. It's no wonder that His Majesty will boldly use him and let him be responsible for the war against the Westerners. I thought he was a mercenary from our Persian Expeditionary Army..." Lexis exclaimed.

Tolmeid did not follow his words, but turned his words: "There are also many young officers in the regiments under your command. Especially Patroclus, who is attacking. In Lucenia, his brigade was the first to invade the city. His Majesty was very happy to see these reports, but he crossed out the candidate for the triumphal flagman you handed over to the Ministry of Military Affairs. His name in the list."

Hearing this, Alexis somewhat guessed, but he still asked: "Why?"

"I don't want him to be too ostentatious, lest the people misunderstand that he is favored by your majesty..." Tolmeide said vaguely.

Alexis’ adopted daughter Kitia and Cynthia have a close relationship. Of course, Alexis also knows some things in this regard. Hearing this, a knowing smile appeared on his face: "It seems that I have to ask your majesty Hi!"

"Alexis, I also want to congratulate you." Tolmeide smiled mysteriously.

"Why are you happy?" Alexis was taken aback.

"Amintas' adopted son, Stiflos, performed well in this war with the Sikelians, and was included in the list of the eighth legion's flag bearer candidates for the triumph." Thor Mead said with a smile.

Since Stifros beat Pafogres, the fact that "Steifros and Kitia are lovers" has been known to everyone in the upper ranks of the military, if it weren’t for the purpose of avoiding trouble. , Amintas transferred his adopted son to Sicily, maybe the two are already married.

"Didn't Stefros serve as an adjutant under Prosous? How did he do this?" Alexis asked in surprise.

"You don't know yet, Prosius asked him to be the company captain." Tolmeide replied.

Alexis didn't expect that the young legion commander who seemed to be out of touch with anyone would actually make such a move. Whether it was intentional or unintentional, he had to accept this love.

"There is also a secret to tell you." Tolmeide pretended to be mysterious and approached him: "Your Majesty notified the Military Affairs Department to transfer Stefros back to Turey."

"Really!" Alexis was surprised.

"Of course, your Majesty cares more about Kitia's marriage than your father. Come on, when will we be invited to the wedding?" Tolmeide said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Alexis said thoughtfully: "I have to discuss this with Ammentas, but it must be after Cynthia's wedding."

………………………………

On this day of November 5th, the main road from Turiyi North City to Victory Square was sprinkled with clear water, flower paving, and colorful flags. Dionian people poured in from all directions, crowding both sides of the avenue. The biggest difference between this time and the previous triumphs is that a lot of people from Mesapi and Puchetti came.

As the high-pitched bugle resounded throughout the city, the triumphant ceremony began.

The army, which had already departed from the barracks and arrived in the suburbs, began to march forward in four columns.

Foremost is the flag bearer holding the flag of the Kingdom of Dionia. Since the Yugoslavia War, the newly revised military law stipulates that the flag bearer in the triumphal style must be the most brave and outstanding soldier in the war. He is a role model for all soldiers, so the honor of this leader is that there is no officer. For the sake of it (squad leader is not an officer).

Behind him is the legionary standard bearers. They are outstanding performers in the participating legions, and this is not limited to soldiers. The First Cavalry Corps, the First Corps, the Fourth Corps, the Fifth Corps, the Eighth Corps, the Ninth Corps, and the Tenth Corps, a total of seven legion flags lined up, are absolutely majestic.

Followed by dozens of drummers, they played "Victory March", which added joy and joy to the whole celebration.

The following First Corps soldiers stepped neatly, with their heads high and their chests high, and stepping forward...

Before entering the outer city, the team was greeted by the Dionian people. The cheers and screams went through the eardrums of the soldiers: there were frolicking children who followed the way they marched, with enthusiasm. Young girls chased them to throw petals, and excited relatives and friends chanted their names...

In such a lively atmosphere, these Legionnaires do not know where they are, and they always keep silly smiles on their faces, even if they have seen the triumphant Adoris many times, they are too excited at this moment. Self-restraint, after all, this is the first time he enjoys this glory as a participant in the war.

Among the enthusiastic audiences, there are also some people asking questions: "Hey, why are the two standard bearers walking in the front this time?"

"Have you not read the announcement posted by the Senate? This time the triumphant celebration is to celebrate the victory of the two wars. One is the war against the Dawnis, and the other is the war against the Westkells. For the sake of fairness, Therefore, a flag bearer was selected from the army participating in the two wars."
