"Your Majesty, it is stated in the battle report that the Samona fighters who appeared in this battle belonged to the two tribes of Silpini and Karacheni, plus Pentney, who was defeated in Askurum not long ago. , And Kautini who just picked up his captives. The four tribes of Samona may not be able to launch a large-scale invasion anymore!" The Secretary of War, Shiros, said with joy after carefully reading the battle report.

"It seems that both the Second and Fourth Army Corps can be withdrawn. There is no need to retain so many troops in the Downey area. Withdrawing a few corps can alleviate the pressure on logistical supplies." Acting Quartermaster Alp Ens suggested.

"Don't be too careless, we must be careful that the Samonais attack other areas again, looting our people, and threaten us to exchange with them the prisoners of the Samonais!" The Chief of Staff Philipius warned cautiously. road.

"It is indeed possible. But now the regions and cities that lead Samona have increased their vigilance, and it will no longer be so easy for the Samonais to succeed." Deputy Chief of Staff Tolmeide mentioned Another question: "But now the soldiers of each legion are eager for meritorious service in battle, to obtain honors and rewards. Which legion should be left? Which legion should leave? This is a troublesome question."

"Withdraw the Second and Fourth Corps and reduce the troops in the Downey area... These proposals can tell Alexis, let him go to the headache, I believe he will not relax because of one or two victories. To be wary of the Samonais." Daves said disapprovingly.

"Your Majesty, the Samonais may come to us again for peace talks because of this failure." Philipius reminded.

"We will not negotiate peace with a race that has violated the covenant many times and maliciously destroys the covenant! If the Sammonites really want to negotiate, I have already made arrangements for this." Daves said with a serious face, and he spoke eloquently. One turn: "But...if Carthage asks for peace talks, this can be seriously considered."

Philipsius hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, will the Carthaginians have peace talks?"

Daves said in deep thought: "Carthage is no better than the Samoites. Their national power is strong. The failure of one or two battles will not have much impact on them. However, the Magoni of Carthage The conflict of power between the German family and the Hanno family... You can order Proseus to lead the Eighth Army and other troops, take advantage of the enemy’s defeat, continue to advance cautiously westward, and attack the sub-states of Carthage and Phoenicia. The base city-state caused greater losses to the Carthaginians and increased pressure on their Senate.

At the same time...Order Sekrian to gather all his ships to advance to the western end of Sicily, look for the main force of the Carthage navy, and completely annihilate it, thereby cutting off the sea connection between Carthage and Sicily! If these plans can be realized, I have to see if the Carthaginians still have the confidence to fight with us. "

"Your Majesty, we are going to deliver your instructions. I believe Secorian can't wait to receive this order." Tolmid replied teasingly.

Daves laughed: "Even if the Carthaginians don't want peace talks, but we have Proseus on the land of Sicily, and Sekrian on the sea, we don't need to worry about the war in Sicily." /

"Yes, Your Majesty." Silos praised sincerely: "Sekrian's ability to command fleet operations is unquestionable, but the commanding talent shown by Proseus in Minoa really made Surprising! The conflict by the river happened suddenly. He was able to use the routs to lure the Carthaginian troops to pursue them, forcing the Carthaginians to press on them in order to protect the holy troops and use the special terrain. It also restricted the Carthaginians’ inability to take advantage of the large number of soldiers, and at the same time used the checkerboard formation to give full play to the advantages of our legion, which greatly inhibited the use of the holy regiment’s army, and finally won a big victory with less victories and more. …Your Majesty, you firmly chose Proseus as the commander of Sicily. It was indeed a wise decision!"

"The reason why Proseus was able to win such a victory was the stupidity of the Carthage commander." The chief of military training Hironimus suddenly said.

Davos glanced at him, and his heart moved slightly: It seems that Proseus's talent even Hironimus, who has always been diligent and practical, feels jealous.

Of course, this is also related to Proseus’ qualifications. He is neither a Persian mercenary nor a native citizen born in Turíy-Amendorara. As a former freedman, he can be old Gently becoming the commander of the legion, and being able to independently obtain such a brilliant victory, really made the veteran generals who followed Daves to Great Greece uneasy.

However, Davos will never give up the promotion and use of Prosous because of their anxiety and jealousy. On the contrary, he will reuse him more. After all, Daves is very clear: the grandeur has been established in his heart. The goal dictates that he cannot rely on himself to defeat many powerful forces in the Mediterranean. He needs to know people and be responsible to obtain more excellent men and build a vast kingdom. At the same time, he also needs more outstanding generals of different backgrounds to change the situation where the Dionian army is mainly controlled by the former mercenary generals.

Davers pressed these thoughts to the bottom of his heart, and said slowly: "Sicily has Proseus and Secorian, and Downey has Alexis. I don’t need to worry about these places anymore, but Lamín The situation in the region is not optimistic!"

When talking about Latinam, Hiros and Phillips both looked solemn.

Today, the Roman army has now taken Signia and Anagnia, and is stepping up its onslaught on Ferentinum, although the Helnikians and Voll The Western reinforcements are defending stubbornly, but from the current situation, the fall of Ferentirum is only a matter of time, and as long as Ferentirum is captured, the downfall of the Helnikians will only happen sooner or later. At that time, the Wolsey reinforcements trapped in the city of Ferentirum could not escape bad luck. At that time, Wolsey, who was hit hard and did not have enough fighters, could not resist the two-sided attack of the Romans. Eventually, the Romans would completely control the entire Latin America. Mu area...So during this time, the envoys of Helniki and Wolsey kept coming to the palace to see King Davos, asking him to send troops to support.

"Your Majesty, Amintas has only one legion, and now the Wolsey area depends on him to guard, he dare not leave without permission to help the Helniki." Philipius defended his old friend.

"It's not about Amintas, he has done his best." Daves waved his hand, walked to the map in the middle of the conference room, stared at the flat area in the middle of the Italian peninsula, and said in a deep voice. "I believe we all understand that the biggest threat to the kingdom now is not Carthage, who is procrastinating and internal conflicts, nor is it the weak Samonais who can only cause minor troubles, nor is it separated from the Adriatic Sea. The troubled Sparta itself is Rome! A Roman who has a unified understanding, strong citizens, and concentrated all strength to achieve its goals! If we don’t destroy it now, it will be the future of the kingdom. Big trouble!"

Daves tapped the icon of Rome on the map with his fingers, and said in a firm tone: "Therefore, I decided to personally lead the Second Army, Third Army, Fourth Army, and Fifth Army. , The Sixth Army, and the Second Cavalry Corps went to the Latham area to join the First Army and the First Cavalry Corps to completely eliminate Rome-the powerful enemy in the north of the kingdom!"

Heros, Felicius, Hilolims... The ministers of the military affairs department looked at each other solemnly, knowing that what Davers said was very important, and no one dared for a while. He spoke to express his approval or disapproval, but the acting quartermaster Alpunes asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, for such a huge army to fight in Latham, the Ministry of Military Affairs may not be able to provide so much ration..."

Daves calmly explained: "The second batch of grain aid from the Egyptian pharaohs has been delivered to the port two days ago, and it has not been moved. The Turiyi merchants have donated free of charge. A large quantity of grains in China has already filled the barn, and the grain donated by Lijim merchants bought from Yoke Xinghai is already on the way back. It is reported that the amount is not less than that donated by Tury merchants. Moreover, I asked. In Burkos, the people of the kingdom have replanted beans such as peas and lentils, as well as carrots, radishes, pumpkins, lettuce and other vegetables. They have a lot of harvest, which can fill part of the food gap..."

"Even so, because some of the food will be used to supply the Sicilian army and the Dawney army, the rest may only be enough for the army under your command for one or two months." Alpunes reminded earnestly. .

Davers had planned for a long time, and he calmly said: "One month is enough, and the next food will be provided by Latins."

The people in the room looked at each other again. Of course, they understood what Daves meant. When they fled in Persia, Greek mercenaries often did this.

"Your Majesty." Felixius finally asked: "You have taken away so many legions. What if the Carthaginians reorganize the army, choose a shrewd commander, and attack Sicily again?"

"Judging from the current situation of Carthage, if their Senate wants to understand again and send a large army out to Sicily, it may not be a matter that can be solved in a month or two, and the intelligence department of Dionia It will also incite the atmosphere of peace in Carthage and disrupt the order of the Carthaginians..." Daves said here, everyone else invariably looked at Alistairs who was standing outside the door.
