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

"The Dionians are coming! The reinforcements of Dionia are coming!!..." The archers on the outposts in the camp were also shouting like these wounded Samona, but They made a happy voice: "Our reinforcements are here! Our reinforcements are here!!..."

Finally! Alexis let out a sigh when he heard the news.

The soldiers heard the shouting, their morale was shocked, and their tired bodies seemed to be refilled with strength. They shouted in unison, trying to drive out the enemies who had rushed into the camp...

And Torek, who heard the yelling, still didn’t want to believe it. When he turned around and saw the rushing Dionian army, any skirmishers were swallowed by it in a flash, his whole power seemed to have been emptied. , He staggered and fell to the ground, with only one thought in his mind: "It's over! I've fallen into the conspiracy of the Dionians!"

The same exhausted Samoni fighters who had been fighting hard for a long time saw the menacing Dionian soldiers coming from behind. Although they were panicked, most of the fighters did not turn around and flee, but Picking up the spear and turning around to resist the enemy's surprise attack, they had only one thought in their hearts to kill the red eye: fight!

However, the continuous arrival of fresh forces and the front and back flanking made the resistance of the Samona fighters in vain, which instead affected their timely escape from the encirclement.

As the Samoneites continued to fall, the remaining fighters finally faded and began to rout... Some fighters were exhausted and simply abandoned their weapons and surrendered... Therefore, after the fighting continued for a period of time, it was basically over. , The rest is chasing the rout soldiers.

……………………………

The soldiers of the Third Army in the Dionian camp are either packing up the remains of their comrades, or receiving treatment from the medical camp, or lying on the ground and resting on the earth wall...

Legion commander Alexis listened solemnly to the adjutant’s report on the casualties of the legion: "According to the preliminary statistics of the medical camp, our legion has 412 casualties, 251 severely wounded, and 537 lightly wounded, with a total of 1,200 casualties. ……"

1200 people! Alexis clenched his fists somewhat moved: they accounted for 15% of the legion’s main force, so the casualties are a bit big!

The adjutant saw the pained expression on the legion commander’s expression and hurriedly comforted him and said: "This is no way. We are facing about three times as many fierce Samonis as we are..."

Alexis sighed and said nothing.

At this moment, the originally quiet camp suddenly boiled.

Alexis saw Daves leading the guard into the camp, and while walking towards the center, he had a cordial conversation and condolences with the soldiers he met.

Alexis hurriedly greeted him.

Before approaching, Daves caught up and gave him a very powerful hug: "Good job, Captain Alexis!"

This sentence made most of the sighs, grievances and dissatisfaction in Alexis's heart dissipated immediately. He stood at attention and saluted, and replied forcefully: "Report to the Supreme Commander, the Third Army has completed its combat mission and is taking a break."

"More than just completing the combat mission!" Daves looked around at the soldiers who were quickly flocking around. The faces covered with dust and blood were full of fatigue, and he sent a clenched right fist to his left chest affectionately. A heavy blow: "Brothers of the Third Army! You stayed in the solitary camp, fought three times as hard as your enemies, sacrificed for the entire battle and finally wiped out the Samonais, and made a huge contribution! You saved Potentia! Freed our Lucanian territory from the danger of being invaded! Changed the situation of the entire North of Dionia! Not only I want to thank you, but the entire people of Dionia must thank you ! You are the heroes of Dionia, and you will be remembered in the Temple of Hades in Turei! Manson, the Third Legion!"

Davos’s passionate and passionate words reached every soldier, whether it was a Lucanian or a Greek, they shed tears of excitement.

"Wan Sheng, the Third Army!!!"

"Wansheng, Davers!!!"

"Wansheng, Dionia!!!"

……

Continuous cheers resounded over the camp, and when the captive Sammonite soldiers heard this voice, they felt unspeakable pain and depression on their faces...

In this battle, Daves surrounded him and used the Third Army as a bait to attract 26,000 Samoneite soldiers to come and besiege. Taking advantage of the exhaustion of the veterans of his division, he secretly mobilized two more corps to encircle him...There were tens of thousands of Samona soldiers captured alone, causing more than 7,000 casualties, and only nearly 3,000 fled into the mountains. At the same time, he easily regained the city of Poseidonia, and obtained a large amount of supplies and materials that were piled up in the city and had not yet been transferred to Samona Camp in Potentia. It can be said to be a complete victory.

……………………………

On this day, the Siracusa army, which had already broken through the north bank of the Ramato River, was still standing still. They built a rudimentary camp at the confluence of the Ramato and Corta Rivers, and built a pontoon bridge on the Corta River with dozens of fast boats, so that the luggage and supplies from Hibernian could be smoothed. It was sent to the Syracuse camp smoothly, and the soldiers finally had a full meal.

The people of Trina, west of the Syracuse camp, near the Tyrrhenian Sea, are always in panic. While they sent a large number of scouts to keep a close eye on the Siracusa camp, they sent envoys to Siritim while maintaining contact with Knapetia.

In Siriting, even if the number of troops arriving in Crotone increased to 17,000 and the coalition forces in Siriting increased to 30,000, the people still felt uneasy. Siracusa’s camp is no more than 30 miles away from Siriting City, and within a few hours of marching, you can reach down to the city. Now all the Siriting people have abandoned their homes outside the city, brought their families, and fled into Siritting City. .

For Crotone’s dedication and support, Siritin’s senior leadership headed by Pretinis can’t blame anything, but for Syracuse’s army pressure, Crotone is at a disadvantage. The coalition forces had nothing to do. The only thing they could do was to send scouts to the south to learn about the itinerary of the Dionian Army.

………………………………

The Fourth and Fifth Army of Dionia began to pull out the camp early in the morning of this day. In order to prevent the Syracuse from taking advantage of this abandoned camp, they not only removed the tents, pulled out the wooden fences, and demolished the soil. The reason for the extra effort required to fill the trenches and fill the trenches is to return the hospitality of the Corenian people and make up for the guilt in their hearts.

Last night, when Felicius informed the Corenians that "The Dionian army had to prepare to withdraw", although they knew that the matter was irreversible, Pretinius did their best Efforts to retain this reinforcement that can protect Corenia.

Philipsius could only bear to refuse their request.

But when we left today, almost all the people in Corenia came out to see the Dionian army off. They not only helped the soldiers pull out of the camp, they also brought freshly heated bread, porridge, and water. , I hope the soldiers can eat a full meal before marching.

Corenia’s deep friendship and heart-wrenching words of retention have moved many Dionian soldiers. They had to go north due to the army, but the words of comfort to the Corenian people are roughly the same:" Don’t worry! As long as you hold on to the city of Corenia and we join forces with other allies, we will soon defeat the Syracuse army, and then come to rescue you!"

Felicius said the same thing to Finiris, but more euphemistically.

Ferniris didn’t seem to hear the uncertainty in Felicius’s words, and he said with a firm expression: “We Corenia have been besieged by Lokri too many times. We are better at defending the city, and we will stick to it until you come back. I know that the Dionians keep their promises!"

Pretinius' words made Felicius feel a bit more pressured.

Towards dusk, the Fourth and Fifth Army finally arrived in Siritim, and at this time, the Syracuse-Locley coalition led by Fascipesas surrounded the city of Corenia. .

………………………………

In the evening, at the headquarters of the Southern Italian League in Siriting, the commander of the Southern Line of Dionian, Felicius, the special envoy of the Senate, Ansitanos, the army general of Crotone, Ascamas, Siriting The chief general Pretinis, the Siritian commander general Asesias, and the Trinite envoy Asopias sat around a large wooden table on which a map of the Osemia Plain was placed.

Acethias stood up, took a wooden stick in his hand, and explained the current situation for everyone present: "My lords, according to what we have detected, the Siracusa army is on the Ramato River. Camp at the confluence of the Corta River."

Acesias clicked on the marker on the map with a stick: "This is the edge of the Ophimia Plain, going west, it's only 15 miles from Trina——"

"It should be only 13.9 miles to be precise!" Asopias emphasized loudly.

"Ah... the situation in the west, Master Asopias is naturally much clearer than us." Atheias corrected a little embarrassingly: "Siracuse camp is away from Trina 13.9 miles, and the terrain is flat, but it is necessary to cross the Ramato River, which cannot be walked, which is not a small trouble for the Syracuse people——"

"The Syracuse Navy has already occupied the Ramato River. It is very easy to send the army across the Ramato River!" Asopias emphasized again.

Asethias became a little angry: "Master Asopias, if you like to interrupt other people like this, why don't you explain to everyone!"

Asopias shook his head and said, “I’m just supplementing the situation you introduced. Didn’t you also say,'We Trina people know more about the situation in the west than you do?' All the lords have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the situation on the entire battlefield, which will help us formulate a more reasonable response plan. Because this war is no longer a matter for Siriting or Trina, but for the entire Southern Italy League. The crisis we face together!"

"Master Asopias is right! Assethias, don't worry, speak slowly and in more detail." Pretini hurriedly came out to round off the two.

"Yes, the war has burned to our territory. Everyone is a little anxious, but the more so, the more calm we should be able to defeat the powerful enemy." Ancitanos also said comfortingly.
