His question made Gailny raise his head, and also made the other chiefs in the cabin interested.
Dionians! At this moment, when Gailny heard the name, a hatred rose in his heart. He tried his best to let himself recall the scene at the time: "...their soldiers are mostly heavy infantry, but their heavy infantry is similar to what we used to be. The Greek heavy infantry I saw were very different... Their helmets were very similar to ours, and they were not holding round copper shields, but long shields similar to ours..."
"Huh?!" The leaders of Samone were surprised.
"It is especially important to note that their heavy infantry is the same as our heavy infantry...can throw javelins!" Gellney recalled the scene that made him painful.
The leaders were in a commotion: "When did the Greeks start to learn our tactics?"
"The Dionians have never contacted us, how can they learn our tactics?"
……
While the leaders were talking about it, Villany asked with concern: "Then Dionian's heavy infantry is equipped with the same equipment as ours?"
"It's not the same. Their breastplates are more tightly protected. Their arms, chest, back, hips and thighs are covered, and there are shinplates on their calves..."
"That means we will suffer a face-to-face javelin throw." Capus leader Russney said worriedly.
"We have a long shield. No matter how thick armor is thrown by a javelin, it will be injured. On the contrary, the Dionian heavy infantry is too heavily equipped to operate in the mountains," Chief Beneventum Lescuk didn't care too much about this.
"Lesguk Chief is right!" Quinduk, who was in charge of leading the Cavutini fighters to join the battle, said confidently: "We have had several meetings with the Greeks in Campania. Their heavy infantry seemed cumbersome in the mountains and had difficulty walking. They couldn’t catch up with us at all. On the contrary, they were not flexible enough to avoid the javelins we threw behind them, and we would never easily be on the plains. Fight against the Greeks."
"What Chief Quinduk said was our decades of experience in dealing with Greek heavy infantry. The mountains are the world of our Samonais, and the Dionians dare to come in, so we let them come out again. Don't go!" Lutherney encouraged loudly.
"That's right! Kill the Dionians! Let them know how good our Samonais are!" Many leaders followed suit.
"But...Dionians are not only heavy infantry." Gherny had to remind these overconfident leaders: "They also have archers, and there are javelins without armor and shields. There is also a kind of light infantry armed with a small shield and a short sword. They are walking fast in the mountains. I guess they may be Lucanians... and what should be more noticeable is that in the Dionian army. Whether it is heavy infantry, archers, javelinmen, or that kind of light infantry, the cooperation between them is quite tacit. Obviously, after a long period of training, it is similar to those of the Greek city-state citizens who were temporarily recruited in Campania. Obviously different..."
After Gellney finished speaking, the leaders were lost in thought.
At this moment, Veronni groaned and said: "The Dionians rushed to Potentia so quickly, so this army must not be the main force from Turri, and the number will definitely not be too much. If they have the courage to come, then we will let them taste the power of Samona fighters!"
His words refreshed the leaders.
"Quinduk, you led 7000 Cavutini fighters to stay in the camp, and the other leaders led all your fighters to attack the incoming Dionians with me."
"Big Chief, you mean all the Shillpini fighters?" Lescuk asked in surprise.
"Yes, 25,000 Shillpini fighters!" Verranny said clearly.
"Is it too much?"
"I don't think it is too small. If Torek hadn't taken his 18,000 Pentney fighters to attack Poseidonia, I would ask his Pentney army to go with us." Ni said with a proud face: "This time, I want to eat this Dionian troop that dared to enter Potentia alone!"
"What if the Lucanians in Potentia are suddenly killed out?" Lusani asked a little worried.
"I'm worried that they dare not come out."|Quinduk looked at Velany and smiled.
Villany nodded and said, "There are only 10,000 soldiers in Potentia. If they dare to come out—hehe, Quinduk, don’t rush them back, but entangle them. They, I will lead my army to return as soon as possible, and fight back and forth with you to annihilate them!"
"Understood." Quindock's eyes shone with cold.

"Felicius, I'm looking forward to your return." Daves greeted the living room happily, held Felicius's hands, and said with a smile: "I heard you did it in Cosenza Yes, the leaders of the Bruti tribe, as well as herdsmen, are in a long line in front of your mansion every day, wanting to see you...Haha, I have been the chief executive for more than a year, so I can’t bear to get rid of it!"
"My lord, don't make fun of me. Next time, no matter how you persuade me, I don't want to go to the district of Bruti to be any chief executive." Felicius smiled bitterly and shook his head: "People there I don’t trust the judge at all. No matter how big the dispute is, I will come to the chief executive. If it weren’t for the full assistance of Hegecitus (the former leader of the Xilun tribe), I don’t think I would be able to stay in Cosenza. Month."
"But you have been in Cosenza for more than a year, and several investigations by the Public Service Management Committee of the Senate have found that you have done a very good job in Cosenza. I believe you will be the chief executive of another city. It's very easy for you." Daves smiled and praised him: "Go, let's go in and talk."
The two sides sat down, and the slave offered the slurry.
Felicius didn’t want to drink, and immediately said to Daves: "My lord, this time you propose me to be the commander of Southern Dionia, commanding the Fourth and Fifth Legions. There is no problem. But you have to Serving as the commander-in-chief of the entire Southern Italian League coalition forces, I find it too difficult to command the operations of this coalition army! Can large cities like Crotone and Lijim willingly obey my command?!"
After Daves listened, he earnestly persuaded: "Felicius, this task is indeed a bit troublesome. But even if it is troublesome, you have to do your best and try to do it well! You have to I know, although the agreement of the Southern Italy League says,'All city-states, big or small, are treated equally.' But all the allies understand that in fact, we Dionia is the leader of this alliance, and we are not the commander-in-chief of this coalition. , We are not responsible for organization or command. Which city-state dared to be the leader! So don’t have any worries, and boldly manage and command the coalition forces! And I have given Crotone and Lijim to the allies The council wrote a letter asking them to actively cooperate, and the messenger has been sent. At the same time, the Senate also arranged Lord Ancitanos to serve as your diplomatic liaison officer, responsible for coordinating matters with each city-state."
"Great!" Felicius felt deep in his heart, and the expression on his face relaxed a lot, but he continued: "My lord, you ask us to fortify in Corenia and Trina, but Now Syracuse has not declared war, will Corennia and Trina allow us to set up camps on their land in advance? And if Syracuse declares war, the army will quickly land in Lokri, but our coalition forces Coming from various city-states, it takes a lot of time to gather together, not to mention having to rush to Corenia and Trina to build camps. If the camps are not completed, Syracuse’s army will have broken through Corren. What about Nia?"
"This is indeed a problem. After the war, there will be many unexpected factors, and no one can make an accurate prediction." Davers tapped the handrail with his finger, pondered for a long time, and finally said: "You try to press The original plan is to do it. If things cannot be done, try to preserve our strength and do not blindly fight. But there is a bottom line that you must keep in mind!"
Davers tapped his fingers heavily on the table, and said firmly: "Hold Knapetia and Asprostum, and help the Crotones defend the city of Crotone! Without losing this line of defense, we can block the enemy out of our territory and accumulate strength for counterattack!"
"Okay, sir, I will hold the territory to the south and wait for you to come back!" Felicius promised, but he asked again: "In case the Syracuse use a fleet to bypass Croto Inside, what should I do if I log in behind us?"
Daves was a little disappointed by Felicius's look forward and backward. He said impatiently: "How easy is it to land tens of thousands of soldiers on our land? Don't we have two new legions? And this is not something you should be concerned about, it's Sekrian's business."
………………………………
"Sekrian, if the war between Dionia and Syracuse breaks out, what preparations will your navy have?" Daves asked with a serious expression.
Sekrian said confidently: "My lord, we hope to gather all the warships of the allies first and let us directly command them... Since Lijim took the initiative to hand over 35 three-tiered paddle warships to our navy. , Corenia and Trina also merged their fleets one after another. Siriti has already agreed, but has not yet put it into action. Only Crotone is still hesitating, but I think they will agree soon …At that time, Dionia will have a powerful fleet of nearly 200 large and small warships. I will install all three-layer slurry warships with'crows'..."
