lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
Kate Montaloth's words were recognized by everyone. After discussion, they decided to send 10,000 people to help the Helniki defend the city of Ferentirum.
Ten thousand fighters-this is already the largest force that the Wolsey can send. After these 10,000 people leave, Wolsey's territory will inevitably be defended against emptiness, so they entrust the responsibility of defending Wolsey's territory. It was given to Amintas, which just shows that the **** battle of the First Dionian Army has won the full trust of the Wolsi people.
Herniki's messenger, who was hinted by the Wolseys, found Amintas in private, hoping to form an alliance with Dionia and obtain the support of this southern power.
Tapirus, who had been authorized by King Davos, took over the negotiation.
Under the pressure of the situation, the Helnikians quickly drafted an alliance with Dionia. However, Tapirus reminded the other party: Dionia was unable to send troops to support Helniki within a short period of time due to food shortages.

The news of "Carthage's army landing in Sicily and attacking Dionian Territory" also spread to the mountains of Samona, and the tribal alliance of Samona was also refreshed.
Although Lescuk believes that the war in Sicily has just begun and the situation is still unclear, we should wait and see...
However, the leaders of the other tribes could no longer wait, and finally passed the decision to "send troops to Dionia" at the meeting, but there were some disputes about the direction of the offensive.
The leader of Usibic, who attended the meeting on behalf of Kautini, insisted that we should attack the Campania area, attack the weaker Campania Alliance, and rescue the more than two thousand Kautti who were captured. Nepalese fighters, thereby enhancing the strength of the Samona’s coalition forces.
Les Guk expressed opposition to this. He believed that the troop dispatch of the Samona tribes this time was a declaration of war on Dionia. Therefore, the greatest enemy of Samona was the Kingdom of Dionia. How the greatest Attacking the Dionians to a degree, weakening the strength of Dionia, making it lose in this huge war, and being unable to counterattack the Samonais is the primary issue for the chiefs to consider.
Then, facing Usibick’s angry gaze, Lescuk said loudly: "My suggestion is to attack the Downy area!"
After finishing speaking, he calmly analyzed and said: "First of all, the Dawney area is adjacent to the tribes of Kautini and Pentney, so that we can send troops. You must know that this time the soldiers we lead will never No less, food consumption will be a big problem. Being close means less consumption on the road. The large area bordered by Dawney with us also means that we have more places to attack, which makes Dionia undefeated... …"
Pentney Chief Badani and Karacheni Chief Kontruk nodded thoughtfully.
"Secondly, the Dawney area is an area newly occupied by the Dionians two years ago. As far as I know, the Dawneys have not yet fully belonged to Dionia. The Asian army has just been formed, so our attack will be easier and may even cause chaos in this area.
Furthermore, the Dionians are now at war with the Romans because of the Wolsi. As the war between the two sides expands, Dionians are likely to send additional reinforcements. If we attack Campania, it will be very convenient for Dionia to mobilize troops nearby, and when we attack Dawni, Dioniya will face the difficulty of choosing: to rescue the Wolsi or Dawney? "
"Well, do you need to say, the Dionians will definitely send an army to rescue Dauni! We are helping Rome, but we have recruited an army for ourselves!" Usibick questioned angrily.
"What does it matter? We can go back to the mountains. Anyway, it is very convenient." Lescuk smiled and said, "But for the Dionians, it is inconvenient to come back and move the army. It gave the Romans more time to destroy the Wolsi. When the Romans completely conquered the Latham area, we can even make way for them to attack Campania..."
"The Romans would listen to you that way?" Usibick sneered.
"As long as the Romans do not want to be retaliated by Dionia in the future, they must step up their offensive now. I heard that the newly elected dictator of Rome, Camillos, is a smart man." The martyr customer said patiently: "And Once Dionian’s army is deployed to deal with the Romans and Carthaginians, we can attack Downey again, and even attack Puchetti further south. In addition—"
Lesguk looked at Usibick and said seriously: "We have to capture as many prisoners as possible in Dawney, and then ask the Dionians to exchange the captured Kautini fighters."
Usibic's eyes lit up and he asked urgently: "Will the Dionians agree?!"
"Based on Daves's treatment of his people in the past, he is likely to agree! And if he wants to be fully attached to the Dawnies, he must also agree!" Lescuk said affirmatively.
At this time, Contruk asked: "Why don't you attack Potentia in advance to recapture your lost land (referring to Capsa)?"
Lesguk was prepared for a long time. He said: "The mountain roads in Potentia are rugged. It will take longer to completely capture it, enough for the Dionians to mobilize an army to fight back. Nepal’s failure is a lesson. What's more, before Abeni Rum blocks the Potentia area, our army will pass through it, which will inevitably cause a strong reaction from Gelny, and it is likely to lead to war. This It would violate the ancient traditions of the Samonais!"
Lesguk made his point with justification, and made the conservative Contruk nod repeatedly. He finally said: "Originally, this was an internal affair of your Shillpini tribe, but now Gailny has become a serious influence. It’s an important issue for the survival of our entire Samonaites, so I suggest that after this war is over, the entire alliance will do its best to force the tribes of Abni Rum to expel Garni, and you will send a new leader if Abbe The tribe of Nirum refuses to execute it. We will pray to the **** Savoni with the priests of the Priests of Samona and announce that they will not recognize the Abenirum as the Samonais and launch a war against them!"
"I agree with this proposal too!" Usibick agreed immediately.
Immediately, Badani nodded in agreement.
Lesguk hurriedly expressed his gratitude, and he was relieved: The thorn in his throat is finally about to be removed.
……………………………………
In the military conference room of the Dionian Palace, Daves and several chief officers of the military department have been here for several days to study the ongoing war.
The Chief of Staff Felicius stood in the center of the meeting room, leaning on the huge topographic map of the Italian peninsula and Sicily, carefully sculpted from clay and cement, holding Minoa’s position with a wooden stick. The commentator said: "Your Majesty, the commander of Sicily, Lord Proseus, wrote a letter saying that he will lead 15,000 soldiers, and then unite with the citizen soldiers of the friendly city-state, take the initiative to attack, go to Minoa, and meet the main force of Carthage. After our analysis, he has a higher chance of winning."
"Prossous is bold and determined, so let him do it." Daves nodded appreciatively. He had already understood the situation, and at the moment he said jokingly: " I am afraid that the actions of the Eighth Army have stimulated Sekelian."
"Yes, Your Majesty. The Clippers of the First and Second Fleet have explored the south and north coasts of Sicily many times, but have not found traces of the enemy fleet, making Master Sekrian want a decisive battle with the Carthage fleet. His wish has not been fulfilled." Felicius replied.
Davers frowned, bent down and looked down at the entire map, and said in a deep voice: "Carthage’s naval strength is not much different from ours, and it has never fought with us. It is logically impossible to avoid war... …Be careful, the Carthage navy bypassed Sicily and raided our Italian coast!"
"Our staff has also taken this into consideration, and has notified the third and fourth fleets to increase their vigilance, and the merchant ships traveling to and from the ports have not reported that there are traces of the Carthage fleet." Tormid interface Said.
"Continue to investigate carefully and don't let your guard down. Also remind Sekelian not to be too aggressive, first to ensure the victory of the Eighth Army and the Carthage Army!" Davers warned.
"Okay, Your Majesty, I will send the Clippers to notify Secorian immediately." Phillips responded.
Daves turned his head to look at Chief Quartermaster Alpunes: "Can the food supply for the Sicilian Fleet still be able to handle it?"
"Your Majesty, there is food delivered from Egypt, and Katana also bears part of it... barely able to support it for about 20 days." Alpunes answered earnestly every word.
The original quartermaster was Capus, but due to the new construction of the 11th Army in the Dawney area, coupled with this year’s relationship between Dionia and the Samonais, the Dawney area urgently needs a high prestige and battlefield. An experienced and strong administrative officer sits on the battlefield. Daves thinks about it, and finally chooses to send Capps to temporarily serve as the commander of the 11th Army Corps. The change from Chief Quartermaster to Commander of the 11th Army is actually a demotion. So Daves did not let him dismiss the post of quartermaster. But now during the war, the position of the quartermaster is very important. Not only does this job need to be done well, but it must be done well, so Capps recommended his assistant Alpunes to act as his agent.
As a senior team officer who also came back from Persia with Daves, Alpunes is always indifferent and mediocre compared to other colleagues, whether in the Senate or in the Legion. . After the South-Italian War, he was transferred to the military department as a light infantry captain, but he quickly gained a foothold with his diligent and practical work style, and he also won the attention of several chief officials.
