Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 70: Dionia’s response

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

Alpens first expressed his approval: "Your Majesty is right. At least fighting the Samonaes in the Dawney area will consume very little rations!"

"But, your Majesty... the war report said that the number of the Samonais attacking our three towns was no less than 10,000. Judging from this, this time the Samonais is likely to be a group of four tribes. The people are attacking with all their strength. This is not something Capps' 11th Army can resist alone, and reinforcements must be sent to them." Silos put forward his own suggestions with some worry.

"Although there are many Samonais, most of them are light infantry. They cannot pose a real threat to the 11th Army in frontal combat!" Hironimus relieved.

"Don't be careless to the people of Samona!" Philip Hughes reminded sternly: "The Ministry of Military Affairs has received news that the Shillpini tribe tried to buy armor from our weapon dealer, although it was unsuccessful. It also shows that Leskuk, the leader of Shilpini, who has fought with us, is very aware of the shortcomings of the Samona fighters and is seeking to change them. Once they are allowed to contact the Carthaginians..."

When the other people heard this, their hearts were tightened again.

At this time, after thinking about it, Daves said: "The Eleventh Army alone is really not good...Let’s appoint Alexis as the commander of the eastern part of Dionia, under the jurisdiction of the Ninth Army. The Tenth and Eleventh Corps, as well as the Second Cavalry Corps, and the reserve soldiers of these regiments, are responsible for the war against the Samonais. However, he should be reminded not to transfer all the troops to the Dawney area. To go, we must leave enough troops to guard against certain enemies that may exist in the east, as well as some of their sabotage activities to destabilize the Puchetti, Mesapi, and Dawney areas..."

Although Alexis and Proseus are both appointed as regional commanders, Alexis can command much more troops than Prossous, and these chiefs of the Military Affairs Department are all No objection was expressed, not to mention that Alexis was their old comrade in arms. Both the qualifications and the record were unmatched by Prosou, and the Dawney area was closer to the core area of ​​the kingdom. The enemy's invasion The psychological impact of the people is greater, and it is indeed more convenient for the logistics supply.

It's just the last words of Daves that surprised them again. Philipius asked in a little panic: "Your Majesty, is there any new enemy in the kingdom?!"

Hiros, who is more politically sensitive, asked more directly: "Your Majesty, does this enemy mean Sparta?"

As soon as the word "Sparta" was uttered, the faces of Phillips, Hironimus, and Tormid all changed color.

Daves still looked calm. Instead, he looked at them, half-joking, half-dissatisfied, and said: "You are all veterans who have defeated countless powerful enemies with me. Why do you hear that the enemy is Sparta? , I feel scared?!"

"Your Majesty, we... are not afraid, we are just a little surprised." Phillips hurriedly defended.

"What's the surprise." Daves reprimanded slightly: "We all know that Spartans signed a friendly agreement with us under the pressure of the situation, and the Spartans are domineering. How could they allow other forces to share the hegemony of Greece with them? I am afraid that Dionia would have been secretly regarded as their enemy, otherwise they would not take in some Mesapi and Puchetti’s Fugitives. This time, we Dionia has war with several forces, I am afraid that the Spartans will feel that their opportunity is here...

The Ministry of Military Affairs is not an ordinary kingdom organization. It has to command the army of the entire kingdom to deal with the threats facing the kingdom now and in the future. Therefore, as senior officials of this department, you must analyze the Mediterranean from a higher level. All countries and forces must not only deal with the present, but also make predictions and preparations for the future! ……"

Daves's words were a little bit euphemistic, but they made the people present ashamed. For a while, the venue was a bit silent.

Daves put up a topic at the right time: "If Sparta wants to intervene in this war, what will they do? And how should we deal with it? Go back and think about it, discuss it seriously, and then write a Plan for me."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The five left.

Daves walked to the map, pressed the "Rome" icon with his hand, and looked at the Helniki area, which may already be crowded with troops, and then moved his gaze to the southwestern side of the Latham area. The towns that became Roman colonies finally returned to Rome...

He pondered for a long time, and a bold plan was brewing in his heart...

……………………………………

The news of "Samonets invading the Dauni area" soon spread throughout Turri, and the public did not show much panic about it. After all, the thrilling South-Italian War was more than ten years ago. The Sammonites are the defeated generals of the Dionian army. They firmly believe that the brave and huge army will be enough to repel the enemies in the future, so the people's life rhythm remains the same as usual.

It's the business people who have sensed business opportunities. Whether it is the purchase of war materials, transportation, weapon maintenance, and even the sale of trophies and captives by the Ministry of Commerce, there are huge profits to be made.

However, in the emergency meeting of the Senate, the elders from the Downey area urgently requested that King Davos immediately took military action to save the people of Downey who were suffering from the war, not only to repel the covenant torn, outrageously The invading Samonais, and they have to teach them a heavy lesson!

Elder Dawney’s proposal was supported by Elder Puchetti and Elder Kulom of Calagosso. After all, the city of Galagoso is located in the mountainous area to the north, adjacent to the Samonas. The same is true of Puchetti. The city of Verosa in the north of it has been invaded by the Samonas several times in the past, and it was even once invaded by the Samonas. Captured.

Actually, Daves is very happy to see such a situation happen: a powerful foreign enemy will force these newly attached areas to share the same hatred, so as to more quickly bridge some of the contradictions between each other and accelerate the integration.

Daves announced the news that "The Ministry of Military Affairs appointed Alexis as the eastern commander to command the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Corps and the Second Cavalry Corps, and to encircle and suppress the Samonaites." The worries of the veterans. Because in the hearts of many veterans, Alexis is a famous Dionian general second only to Davos, not to mention that the Dawney area was originally conquered by him, and he should be more familiar with the situation there.

After stabilizing the emotions of the elders, Daves proposed to appoint Lucenia’s chief executive Antonios as the war governor of the Dawney region, to control all towns in the Dawney region, and to assist Alexis to deal with The invasion of the Samoneites.

The veterans did not have much objection to this. Although Antonios was left out in the cold because of Lao Dixian a few years ago, after he became the chief executive of Lucenia, he has performed well in the past two years. The central town, under his management, has always been politically connected and harmonious. Moreover, he was also the hero who conquered eastern Sicily in the South-Italian War, and he was a strong alliance with Alexis, which gave the elders more confidence in defeating the Samonais.

Furthermore, Ansitanos made a suggestion: send envoys to the Florentane area and ask them what they think of the Samoite invasion of Dionia, so as to judge their position and decide whether the kingdom wants them As an enemy.

After all, judging from the current situation of the war, the town of Geulum near the frontier of Florentani was attacked by the Samoites and fell. It would be impossible to do without the cooperation of Florentani.

Even, Anta Oris also proposed: Send the Fourth Fleet to strengthen patrols on the coast of Florence, as long as abnormal ships are found docking in the ports of various cities and towns in Florence, they will immediately hit and sink (this is actually The above was worried that the Carthaginians would deliver war supplies, such as armor and food, to the Samonaes who did not have a port).

All their proposals were approved.

Compared with the Carthage’s landing in Sicily, the elders reacted more strongly in the face of the Samoneite invasion, and they agreed with each other. This may be because the Dawney area is too close to Turiyi. It is easy to spread to other surrounding areas. Unlike Sicily, which is far south and separated by a strait, although Carthage is more powerful, since the declaration of war until now, the army has been slowly marching outside the territory of the Kingdom of Dionia, and the long preparation time has passed away. The elders worry too much. Of course, at the same time, this is also related to the fact that the "Laodixian case" has brought down many Sicilian elders, resulting in the fact that there are not many Sicilian senators left in the Senate.

At night, the moon blooms like water, cascading into Christia's bedroom through the wooden window.

Daves has been busy all day, and didn't return home until the evening. He hurriedly ate dinner. After washing, he went into Christia's bedroom, fell on the soft bed, and didn't want to move.

Christoia, who has lived with Daves for nearly 20 years, knows that the "Samonets invaded the Dawney area" caused her husband to be so tired today. She has become accustomed to it. He should have a good night's sleep as usual so that he can regain his energy and better face the heavy kingdom affairs that follow. But today, she had to shake the drowsy Daves awake: "Your Majesty, don't sleep first, you still need to make an idea about something."

"What's the matter if I don't go to bed so late?!" Daves opened his eyes in a daze, his face somewhat calm.

The serious King Daves in the eyes of outsiders actually rarely gets angry at home, and emotions like this are the worst expression.
