lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
Seeing this, Sesta hurriedly persuaded: "Master Bajilippi, you don't have to worry too much. Felicius is the Southern Front Commander approved and designated by Master Davos. He is also a long-time A veteran on the battlefield. And he is honest. The analysis report on the battle should not be boastful. We have a great chance of winning the battle! The report sent by the wise Lord Ansitanos also recognized Felicius’ analysis. We Don’t worry too much... The election of the local council may be postponed for a period of time, and it will be held when the Syracuse is driven out."
"Yeah, yeah, you are right."
The two comforted each other and walked up the steps of the Senate's Grand Chamber.
At this moment, Sesta saw Petaru coming up from the other side. As if he hadn't seen Sesta, he walked quickly into the venue.
Of course, Sesta doesn’t have the habit of warmly greeting unfamiliar people, but Bajilippi sighed, “It seems that Petaru still has some opinions on your review of him last time. It will be all right in a while."
Sesta said coldly: "I'm just fulfilling my duties, and other people's unhappiness has nothing to do with me."
Bajilippi stopped talking when he heard it.

"My lords, Siracusa’s warship cut off our Dionian sea trade route. Whether it is to the Eastern Mediterranean or to other parts of the Western Mediterranean, our alliance’s merchant ships have been taken by Syracuse. The Zha navy has arrested and detained more than 20 ships, and the merchant ships from other city-states that came to our alliance to trade were forcibly expelled by them. Now almost no merchant ships have entered the port of Turíy. Except for the remoteness of Picosís port, It can still operate normally, and ports in other cities have ceased operation.
Now because of the war, the soldiers in front consume a large amount of supplies every day. If this situation continues, we cannot obtain materials through sea trade, and the grain supply of the entire alliance may become tense! I suggest that the Senate should take measures now to start reminding the people to save food and to forcibly control food consumption. For example, restaurants are temporarily closed, and people change from three meals a day to two meals..." Mariji finished. The elders are already in an uproar.
"Is the situation so bad?" Cornelus asked nervously.
"Yes, the situation of grain consumption has exceeded our previous expectations!" Farming Officer Bajilipi added: "Although we have food reserves, for the first time now, it is the first time for five legions in both the north and the south. More than 40,000 people provided food, and the grains in the two granaries had already been transported, and according to the statistics of the Ministry of Military Affairs, these foods were only available for ten days. As you know, we have only built a total of them in the territory of the alliance in the past few years. With six granaries, if the war continues for another two months, I am afraid that the grain reserves should bottom out!"
The veterans present here are all nervous.
Kunogolata immediately got up and said: "The sea is blocked, we can buy it from Tarantum by land."
Mercis shook his head and said, "Maliji and I had thought of this idea a long time ago, and sent public officials to Tarantum to discuss, but the Tarantum Senate said, "They are also in short supply and there is no surplus. Can be sold'."
"Damn Tarantum! They forgot who helped them drive away the Mesapi. It's really ungrateful! We should take the alliance agreement and question them!" This time, Amendorara The chief executive of Scombras yelled at the news.
"Ah... now is not the time to settle accounts with Tarantum. Syracuse and Samona have made it difficult for us to deal with. Besides, our relationship with Tarantum has not been harmonious in the past two years. , In case Tarantum is in a hurry, it is really as Daves worried...it's in trouble!" Cornelus said worriedly.
"What is our fleet doing now?! The Alliance spends so much money to build warships every year, and now is the time to need the navy!" Terry Todd Moss asked loudly.
"Navy Commander Sekrian is trying his best to reorganize ships from various alliances, and at the same time train the new tactics proposed by Lord Daves with the newly formed army." Hieronymus replied.
"The new tactics designed by Master Davos?!" Tritod Moss heard this and became excited: "Can you defeat the Syracuse Navy?!"
"Turiyi military port is now tightly closed every day, and no outsiders are allowed to enter. I am not sure about their training." Hieronymus replied without saying anything.
"It seems that we can't count on entering the navy for the time being... I hope that today the Southern Italian Allied Forces led by Lord Felicius can contain the Syracuse attack." Although Skombras is close to 60 years old , But his character is more radical, but at this time he is also cautious about the upcoming battle in the south. It can be seen that other people are also in the mood for gains and losses. After all, the Southern Italian Allied Forces are not all the Dionian troops. , Felicius’ leadership talent is naturally incomparable to the Archon Daves in the hearts of the elders.
"Is there any latest news? Has Lord Daves led the army to fight the Samonais?" Sedorum asked.
"What I got was yesterday's news, "Master Daves led the army into Elia", and today's battle report has not been delivered yet."
The answer of the rotating chairman Kunogolata disappointed the veterans present. Someone in the audience sighed: "Our report transmission is still too slow."
"It's already fast! You must know that the Lucania area is full of mountains. At the previous speed, I am afraid it will take more than four or five days to arrive. Now it has been shortened a lot." How to speak Heraclide's rare retort.
"My lords!" Kunogolata loudly reminded: "Although according to the analysis of the battle report, our coalition forces have a great chance of defeating the Syracuses, but we must prepare for the worst. We must again Strictly order Lord Agarcia of Asprostum and Asistes of Knapetia to make full preparations for the defense of the city as soon as possible according to the decision we discussed yesterday. In case...the battle fails. Do everything possible to keep the enemy out of Dionian territory! At the same time, we must also be prepared to assist Tarantum, so that it is possible to defend the Knapetia-Asprostum-Tower Rantum’s defensive line dragged the enemy until Master Daves led his army back!"
"Master Kunogolata is right, we must be prepared with both hands!"
"Master Felicius has more coalition forces than the enemy, and our legion is the main force. It should be able to repel the enemy."
"Are the scouts sent out? Ask them to report back the situation of Tury's battle in Siriting every half an hour!"
……
Everyone in the Senate expressed their opinions, but everyone felt a kind of tension and worry in their hearts...
………………………………
After the meeting, the veterans did not leave. They sat idly in the meeting hall, chatting together in twos and threes. They have to wait here for news on the southern battlefield so that they can make a quick decision, so they even asked the domestic servants to bring lunch to the Senate at noon.
Kunogolata walked straight to a corner of the venue, where Plessinas and Mariji were chatting in a low voice.
Seeing Kunogolata coming over, the two immediately stopped talking.
"Plesinus-sir, I have heard that there have been some abnormalities in the Temple of Hades in the past few days." Kuno Gorata whispered straightforwardly.
"Oh, what's the abnormal situation? Why haven't I heard of it?" Plycinus looked dazed.
"The handwriting appeared and disappeared suddenly, and the idols made noises from time to time..." Kunogolata said word by word, staring at Plycinus tightly.
Plessinus suddenly realized: "Master Kunogolata, this is what you said. This is not an anomaly, this is a miracle of Hades! This has happened before, but only recently. More often. This just shows that Hades is blessing our alliance!" Plycinus had a pious face.
Kunogolata saw his look, hesitated several times, and finally exclaimed: "Now is the moment of the alliance crisis. We need to ensure the stability of the alliance’s internal political situation and work together to deal with the powerful. Enemy! As the chief executive of Turiyi, I don’t want major turmoil in the city! I believe Master Daves also doesn’t want to see major disturbances in the city!"
Plessinus suffocated him when he saw Kunogolata's majestic expression.
Marigi immediately interjected: "Master Kunogolata, I'm very curious, what is the ‘suddenly appearing and disappearing handwriting’ you just mentioned?"
Kunogorata gave him a vigilant look and said, "You can ask Plycinus." After that, he turned and left, about the rumor that "I will take my blood as the king and keep the alliance safe." It has gradually spread. It is said that it has reached Amendorara, Bisignia and Castellon. Kunogolata feels very uneasy. What he is eager to know now is: This matter is Plessing. Nas's own opinion? Or is it from Davers's instruction? If it is the latter, what should I do?
"He noticed it." Plesinas watched Kunogolata leave, then turned to Marigi.
"Anyone with a head can detect it." Mariji shrugged disdainfully. "But what can they do? Just now Kunogolata didn't even dare to say "what is that handwriting?" Exit, when things happen, I’m afraid he will be the first to raise his hands to show his approval. Don’t worry, Kunogolata is a smart man!” Mariji’s words made Plesinas feel relieved. .
"Actually, I hope that today's battle will fail..." Mariji's next voice was quieter, but Plycinus was surprised again.
"Master Davos led the Union citizens to victories repeatedly, only to have such a big territory today! But the people have forgotten the taste of failure, and thus do not know the value of victory..." Mariji said quietly... …
………………………………
Compared with the deserted city of Tuliyi, in the early morning of the same day, the civil war in the Xiliting territory was full of clouds...
Thousands of soldiers came out in groups from Siritin City, from Trina City, from outside the city, from Siracusa camp, and flocked to the distance from Siracusa camp like a tide. Five miles away to the north of the ground.
