"Dido was also a little dissatisfied with this, but she said that King Davos wrote her a letter specifically, hoping that she would not hinder Hanno and these people from fleeing to the Eastern Mediterranean, otherwise the news of their murder would be passed back to Carta. Gee, it made the Carthage nobles panic, which made the alliance between Carthage and Dionian twists and turns... Oh, King Davos, he also promised that even if Hanno and the others fled to Tyre, they would not escape Dio. Nia’s punishment, but that’s not now..."

"What does this mean?!" Hasdruba blinked and asked in a little surprise: "Does King Daves still intend to declare war on Persia?!"

"It's not impossible." Kisgo obviously noticed this sentence, and he analyzed it carefully on the way back, so he said: "Eastern Phoenician region is a vassal state of Persia, and they sent a fleet to participate. The war in the Western Mediterranean was actually equivalent to Persia’s declaration of war on Dionia, but the two sides had been tacitly silent until now. However, at the end of the Western Mediterranean War, Persia once sent envoys to Dionia. The king demanded to stop the war against Carthage, and it is said that he made threats, but he was strongly rejected by King Davos. Daves is a king with a tough personality. He might have been thinking about it all the time..."

"Fighting Persia!..." Hasdruba leaned his body on the back of his chair, with infinite vision in his eyes. He said with some excitement: "Dare to fight against the powerful Persia, this is what The grace that a rising kingdom deserves! It seems that I also need to make more military exploits here, and in the future, I can lead the army to personally seek revenge from Hanno!"

…………………………………………

In the early morning five days later, in the Dioria barracks in the territory of Florentia, the sentries on the top of the city were patrolling.

"Look! There is an enemy!" a sentinel yelled in front of his finger.

I saw a puff of black smoke rising from the mountains to the north...

As soon as his voice fell, he saw a puff of black smoke rising in the mountains to the northeast, and then to the northwest...

In a short period of time, at least six or seven places of black smoke hit the sky in the sight of the sentries. They were all made by sentry towers built in the mountains around the barracks, and they can be seen at the same time. It is hard to get two black smoke, but the situation like today is unprecedented.

"Go and inform the legion commander that the Gauls have invaded in a big way!" the patrol officer said nervously.

It didn't take long for the alarm bell in the barracks to ring.

The soldiers quickly put on their armors, grabbed their weapons, and ran out of the dormitory.

The people in the civilian area were also notified urgently. They quickly carried important things and fled to the city of Florence not far from here.

Has Drupa, surrounded by his subordinates, ascended to the north of the city, just in time to see thousands of Gauls gushing out of the mountains and rushing towards the barracks in darkness.

This is the first time that Hasturuba has seen such a large number of Gauls. However, he was not panicked because of his rich experience in warfare. Instead, he calmly said: "Immediately notify the whole battalion of soldiers to prepare for defense! At the same time! Send a messenger to inform the troops of the other two barracks to stick to the camp and not to rescue each other!"

"Yes!"

"Sent a messenger to Rome immediately and rushed to Assistus, the chief executive of the Roman region, saying that the Gauls had invaded Etruria in large numbers and asked him to help!"

"Yes!"

After arranging all this, Hasdruba looked at the nervous soldiers around him and shouted loudly: "The soldiers of the Border Legion say that the Gauls are terrible, but we have defeated them many times! Now don’t look at their large numbers of soldiers, but these indigenous people are not good at attacking cities, and we have strong city defenses and sufficient rations. As long as we hold on for ten days to half a month, the kingdom’s reinforcements will come. At that time, we will cooperate with them. Let us wipe out the invading Gauls together. You have done a great job, and the kingdom may reward you and shorten the time you need to become a full citizen!"

"Roar! Roar! Roar!..." The soldiers roared excitedly.

……………………………………………

In the evening, a banquet is about to be held at the residence of Cloto Catacs, the administrative adjutant of Rome, to celebrate the prince’s promotion to the chief executive of Victoria Ai.

All the guests invited have arrived, except for one of the most important guests, Assistus, the chief executive of the Roman district, so the banquet has not yet begun.

However, the guests know that Asistes is busy with business, and he never attends anyone's banquet. This time he agreed to come, because of the special status of Croto Kataks. It is an honor for everyone to be here, so the guests are waiting patiently with anticipation.

At the beginning of the banquet, Croto Kataks was having a pleasant conversation with his brother-in-law Patroclus.

Since Patroclus became the commander of the 14th Army last year, the two were relatives, but now they live closer, so they have more contacts and become closer together.

At this moment, a person rushed into the hall and said loudly: "My lords, just received the news that the Gauls have invaded the Etruscan territory on a large scale. Master Asistus ordered you to immediately Hurry to the district administration office to discuss countermeasures!"

Everyone recognized that this was the clerk of Assistus. Naturally, the order he conveyed would not be false. There was an uproar at the banquet, but no one left first and all looked at the host of the banquet.

Klotokataques stood up without hesitation and said: "Gaul invasion is a major event, we must hurry to the Executive Office!"

Then he will say to the servant: "Pack all the dishes and send them to the executive hall! Tonight everyone may be busy until late at night, how can you continue to eat without dinner!"

The servants hurriedly went to work, and the guests followed him out of the mansion while Quarklotokattax thought thoughtfully.

In the back room, Dido was also entertaining the families of the guests, saying that it was celebrating her husband’s promotion, but for her it was also celebrating the event of "Hanno being expelled and Carthage joining the League of Dionia".

After the news from the lobby reached the back room, the women all appeared panicked. Only Dido appeared calm. She comforted everyone loudly: "Ladies, there is nothing to worry about! The Gaul army is far away in Etruria. In the northern part of the sub-region, our border army is constrained; our Roman region and the surrounding allies will soon organize a huge reinforcement army to cross the Tiber River to attack the Gauls who invaded Etruscans. Retreat; to the south of us, the kingdom will soon send more reinforcements after getting news. It is impossible for the Gauls to step into the land of Rome, so don't worry!..."

Under the comfort of Dido, the wives of these officials not only gradually relieved their panic, but also ate happily.

The Rome Regional Administration Hall is also located in the city of Rome, only two blocks away from the city hall. When Croto Catacs, Patroclus and others walked into the meeting room, Asistes The officials under their opponents gave orders.

"You immediately set off and rushed to Selshe, to inform the Wolsi, and let them send reinforcements in accordance with the covenant, and join our army against the invading Gauls!"

"You immediately rush to Frontilum and tell the Helniki that the Gauls are here, let them gather an army to meet in Rome!"

"You immediately notify the Sabines so that they can send reinforcements as soon as possible..."

…………………………………………

After receiving the order, a famous official hurried out of the conference room. Before he could even return home, he acted as a messenger, mounted a horse, brought his entourage, and rushed to his destination in the dark.

Asistes saw Cloto Catacs come in, and said to him sternly: "I'm sorry to make your banquet impossible. Moreover, the enemy is currently in short supply in the city of Rome. You are the administrator of Rome. Adjutant, for more than a year, I have basically taken over the main administrative affairs of Rome, so I have to ask you to suspend Vai Ai, help me to manage Rome temporarily, and at the same time take on the important task of logistical support for the army!"

After Asistes became the governor of Rome, Daves did not dismiss his former governor of Rome, and let him continue to serve concurrently. Asistes did not forget because of the power, instead he made a decision on the grounds that he "manages the administrative affairs of the entire region and is too busy": Cloto Catacs will gradually take over the administrative affairs of Rome. .

It's just that he never expected that Daves would transfer Cloto Kataks to Wei Ai in a year.

"I am willing to follow your arrangement from Master Asistes, and contribute my greatest strength to resisting the Gauls and defending the Roman region!" Cloto Kataks said firmly.

Asistes had long expected that Cloto Catacs would answer like this, and he immediately arranged for the young man to lead a group of officials to count the material reserves in Rome in recent years, and estimate how much food could be allocated Materials to supply the army.

After receiving the mission, Asistus turned and asked Patroclus: "I have sent someone to inform the Latin League, Wolsey, Helniki, Massi, Equa, Sabine People...wait for the forces that are allied with us to send reinforcements to join us against the Gauls. Based on past experience, how long do you think it will take them to lead the army to Rome?"

In the past two years, Gauls invaded the northern Etruscan territory more and more frequently. In order to be prepared, Patroclus organized two military trainings with allied troops after coming to Rome. In terms of the various allies, they are still cooperating.

Patroclus thought for a while, and said: "Latins, Wolseys, and Helnikians are closer to us. The army will come sooner and will arrive within four or five days; the Sabines, The Equy, the Masi... are far away, at least eight or nine days. However, now that the Gauls are invading on a large scale, I think they will also speed up the assembly of troops. What is the situation in the north now? "
