Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

In recent years, due to the gradual deterioration of the relationship between the Samones and the Kingdom of Dionia, the Kautini people have continued to invade the Campania region, and the Shirpini have gradually approached Abenerum. , This made Porett, the great leader of Potentia, alert, but in the past ten years, due to the safety of the surrounding environment, the Potentian people have gradually become richer, and the young people have never encountered war, even The older generation is also unfamiliar with combat skills, so he once made an unexpected decision to invite the Dionysian Military Department to send military training officers to station in Potentia for a long time to train the young people of Potentia. .

Therefore, the Ministry of Military Affairs has accurate data on the potential of Potentia's war.

Several rotating chairmen looked at each other and immediately reached a consensus. After all, they can achieve their goals without consuming the power of the kingdom with unexpected help, so why not do it. As for that, would Portentia agree? They didn't think about it at all, because the relationship between the two sides was too close, and according to the agreement, this was also Portentia's obligation.

Therefore, Vespa asks directly, Where will the army they form belong to after Portentia is asked to join the war?

Although Potentia is a free city of the Kingdom of Dionia, it is still semi-independent. According to the laws of Dionia, the Potentian army does not have the right to perform military operations independently, and must be incorporated into Dionysus. In Asia's army, commanded by General Dionia. This is to ensure the safety of Dionia's territory and prevent some accidents from happening.

The army formed by Potentia will be commanded by Zantiparis, the commander of the reserve army in Lucania, Hiros replied.

Vespas was relieved when he heard that the commander was Zantiparis. With what he knew about the generals of Dionia, Zantiparis was a veteran in his work, and he would not take casualties with Samone. People fight hard. Although Potentia was not fully incorporated into the kingdom of Dionia, Vespas had regarded it as part of the Lucania region in his heart, and of course he did not want the people there to suffer heavy casualties.

Tomorrow, when the senate meeting begins, we will submit this issue first. Once the resolution is passed, we will immediately send a messenger to Potentia to inform Polert! Cornerus said solemnly, The elders all hope that Calm down the Samonais as soon as possible, and bring peace to the northern border of Dionia!

Thank you five adults! We will do our best! Hiros also responded solemnly.

Vespas originally wanted to inquire about the next military affairs department's general combat plan for the Samonais, but he swallowed the words and swallowed them. He did not want to make this taboo.

After Hiros and the others were separated from the rotating chairmen, their expressions became a little more relaxed.

Felixius said excitedly, As long as the resolution of the Senate is passed tomorrow,

Potentia sends the army, and we can solve the problem of the Samonais!

Yeah, the Samonites' raid on the Campania Alliance and Abenirum's initiative to ask for a dependent kingdom, these two things come together and give us a chance to attack! Just let Potentia's army go north. By meeting with the Abenerum people, they can attack the deserted mountains of Samona, while at the same time, Alexis can lead the army to attack from the east. The trend of the coming war! Caps, who was usually stable, also showed joy at this time.

The Shilpinis have fought with Potentia many times before. Will Potentia's army enter Abenirom this time, will it cause dissatisfaction and conflict on both sides? Alpuins reminded.

It shouldn't be. Philisius explained with certainty, Since the South Italian War, Potentia has not had a war with the Samonaites for more than ten years. I don't know about Potentia. Whether people have forgotten the previous hatred, but according to the information obtained from His Majesty's intelligence department in recent years, Potentia and Abenirum often have trade exchanges, and the ethnic groups on both sides can come and go relatively freely. The other party's territory... Therefore, the Portentian army entering Abenerum should not provoke too much reaction. Besides, you have to trust Zantiparis, and his ability will coordinate the relationship between the two sides.

The other three nodded when they heard it. They were all survivors of the expedition to Persia and had a deep understanding of Zantiparis' abilities.

I think Polert will be very happy when he receives the news that we 'let him attack the Samonites'. Hieronymus said, With his temperament, he will definitely lead the army himself. In order to achieve this goal, he will also restrain his own people and cooperate with the Abenerum to fight together.

Not only did Polert allow his people to be trained by Dionian military trainers, but he himself went off the field many times to receive training to learn the fighting methods of the Dionian Legion. As the military training officer, Hironimos went to Portentia several times to inspect the military training situation. He was warmly received by Paulette, and the two sides forged a deep friendship.

We don't need to worry about Abenerum and Portentia. The only thing I worry about now is Your Majesty! Philisius said in a deep voice, He has repeatedly emphasized, 'Don't lead an army into Samonay' Mountain Wars' and our plan was completely against his will!

Philisius' words turned the excited expressions on Hieronymus and Alpins' faces into seriousness, but Hiros's expression was calm, and he comforted everyone, When we were discussing the plan at the Ministry of Military Affairs, didn't I already say that? Has it been passed, His Majesty is worried that we are not familiar with the terrain of the Samonai mountain area, and the Samonei people are good at mountain combat, and they will suffer big losses if they enter rashly, so he emphasized it again and again, but he never said, 'Absolutely not allowed. We are marching into the mountains of Samone'! And now, with the help of the Abenerum, and the main force of the Samones is in Campania, it is the good thing for us to completely deal with the Samones Opportunity! I believe that His Majesty knows, and will definitely agree!

Heros, we should wait for His Majesty to receive our battle plan and give a reply before we start the attack. Philisius reminded again, feeling uneasy.

It will take seven or eight days for the letter to be sent to Rome and then back again, and the fact that Abenerum joins our kingdom has been going on in secret, but I think it will be difficult for the Abenerum to keep this for a long time. Secretly, once it is known by several tribal leaders of Samona that the troops attacking the Campania Alliance will be quickly withdrawn to the Samona Mountains, then our efforts will be in vain! Therefore, after the resolution is passed tomorrow, we will Immediately notify Alexis to carry out our plan, if His Majesty is to blame in the future, I am willing to bear it alone! Hiros said resolutely.

This is a decision we made through consultation, how can you be responsible alone! Hironimus immediately objected.

Yes, His Majesty wants to blame, and should also blame all the chief officers of our military department! Philisius also immediately expressed his position.

Just as Alpins was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of someone hurriedly running in front of him, and immediately said, Hiros, isn't that your secretary?

Lord Hiros! Sirs! The officer rushed over and gave a military salute, Lord Alexis sent an urgent letter!

Shiros hurriedly took the letter and opened it, and soon a smile appeared on his face.

The other three immediately cast curious glances.

Hiros looked at Philisius and the others, raised the letter in his hand, and said in high spirits, Alexis immediately wrote this when he heard the news of 'Abenirum's request to be annexed to the kingdom of Dionia'. In a letter, he asked to regroup the tenth and eleventh legions, unite the Abene Roma and the Potentians to attack from the east and west at the same time, clear the obstacles, and capture Aquilonia in one fell swoop ), we thought of going together!

Despite the efforts of the Dionian Third Fleet to blockade the west coast of the Italian peninsula, and the occasional Sicilian fleet patrolling the waters west of the Strait of Messina, it was impossible to prevent the Carthaginians from getting news about Rome. After all, the islands of Corsica and Sardinia under the control of Carthage and the Latinum region where Rome is located are across the sea, and the Phoenician city-state on the island, under the order of the Carthaginian judges, had to once Once again, they sent ships to risk avoiding the patrols of the Dionian warships, approached the coast, and went to Antium, Adi and other towns to learn about the development of the Latinum war situation.

Then, the Carthaginian judges sent a fast boat to sail straight south from the west side of Sardinia, all the way to the city of Carthage, so the Carthaginians knew that Dionia sent a large army to attack Latin They were happy to see it in the Mu area, because Rome contained most of Dionia's forces, which would inevitably reduce the pressure on western Sicily.

But a few days later, the news that the city of Rome was captured came, which shocked the elders of Carthage. According to the news they learned, Rome was a big city. Although its main force was not in the city, it was so easily captured. The capture of the Dionysians also shows the strength of the Dionysian military.

After another period of time, when the news of Ostia was burned, the Roman army disintegrated, and the remnants were shrunk in the southwest of Latinum reached the city of Carthage, the entire Carthaginian aristocracy shook Rome, but Italy. The powerful city-state in the central region is precisely because of this, and Carthage chose to form an alliance with it). In such a short period of time, the Dionysian army was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back, and even to the point of lingering...
