When Alcinis saw Pherisius outside the atrium, he hurriedly shouted respectfully, "Lord Phellisius! ”

"It's at home, you just call me uncle!" Phellisius said kindly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Uncle Phellisius!" Arcinis shouted obediently.

"Father." Melisanda whispered. Compared to before, he has been able to call out "father", but he is still a little unaccustomed.

Phellisius didn't care about this, he comforted Melisanda: "Child, I just watched your battle with Arcinis, your strength and speed are no longer inferior to your good friend, but you still lack experience, especially battlefield experience, you will understand when you go to the battlefield a few times." ”

"But I don't have to be eighteen years old to go to war! Father, why don't you talk to Master Davers—" said Melisanda eagerly.

"Haven't you tried it several times! Master Davers has a great deal of military law in mind and will not take the lead in setting a precedent for you. Phellisius said solemnly.

Melisanda threw a fist in annoyance at the column.

Philicius ignored him, turned his head and asked Arcinis, "Tomorrow is the battle, are you ready?" ”

"Uncle, I can't wait to defeat the Lucanians and occupy their town under the command of Lord Davers!" Arcinis said excitedly.

Phellisius looked at him with a smile and said, "Tomorrow, Lord Davers will not lead the army, he will sit in Turiyi, deal with the affairs of the alliance, and at the same time warn the Crotonens!" ”

"And who will lead us in the attack on Niutum tomorrow?" Arcinis asked urgently.

Phellisius smiled.

"Uncle, is that you?!" Arcinis exclaimed.

"Is it true?! Father, you became the commander of the army?!! Melisanda looked surprised, and the "father" shouted so loudly.

At that moment, Felicius was full of pride, and the tension in his heart was swept away: he would win a battle and make the children proud of him!

……………………

On the third day, when the sky was hazy and most of the Union was still asleep, the 2nd, 3rd, 7th and Lucania Brigades, numbering about 4,000 people, were ready to go outside the northern city of Turiyi.

For the first time, Davers, as the founder of this army, did not personally direct the battle, and for the first time, the soldiers would also fight without Davers's command, and both sides were more or less uneasy. So Davos rode through all the soldiers who had gone out on horseback, and as he passed through a detachment, he glanced at them with trust, and told them: "Brothers, I await the news of your victory!" By the time you return, the Arch of Triumph in the city of Turriy will have been built, and I will hold a triumphal ceremony for you, so that the people of the whole Union will be proud of you! ”

Because there were rules in advance, the soldiers who went out on the expedition could not cheer loudly, but their morale was high and their fighting spirit was ignited.

The officers of the 1st Brigade also came to see them off, and their way of seeing them off was different from that of Davers, and they made all kinds of jokes about the officers of the expedition such as Drax, Sesta, Hieronymus, and Epitenis, and said something to the general effect: "If it weren't for the heavy responsibility of our brigade to defend the Alliance, how would it be your turn to capture Niutum!" I heard that there will be a triumphal ceremony for you! Damn, you're really lucky, if you don't fight this battle, you're sorry for the Legion Commander's care for you, and you're sorry for the courtesy of our First Brigade! Don't come back! There was a deep sense of jealousy in his words, but it also aroused the competitive spirit of the officers such as Drax, Hilorimus, and Epitenis.

Finally, Davers came to the front of Lucaria's brigade, and without saying much, he first gave a solemn military salute, and then said loudly: "Congratulations, brothers of Lucania!" You are about to become citizens of the Tua Union, and from today we will be one family! ”

The Lucaria warriors had been playing rugby with the Union soldiers for months, and later on the training day, Davers even allowed them to stop building roads and participate in military training, so they could perform the Union salute in unison.

Seeing this, Davers was very happy in his heart, and he received a new military flag from the hand of Martius, the captain of the guard, and held it high in front of the Lucanian soldiers: this is a beautiful brigade flag, the same bronze statue of the Grim Reaper, a bright red flag, but the text embroidered on it is different, and the red star below represents the team that participated in the battle against Crotone and won it.

Most of the Lucaria soldiers had begun to learn to speak Greek, but they didn't know how to read Greek characters, but they were happy that the flag that belonged to them was no different from any other. And Bagul read the words on the flag: The Fourth Brigade of the First Legion!

It's really a family! Bagul excitedly took the military flag, and then said: "Rest assured, Commander, the Fourth Brigade will successfully complete the mission and guide the Lucanians to join our alliance!" ”

"Good!" Davers turned his anticipation into a fist and slammed it into his chest......

Withdrawing from the ranks, Davers came to the side of the commander of this military operation, Phellisius: "It's all up to you!" ”

Phellisius suppressed the tension in his heart and responded with a powerful military salute: "Commander, don't worry! ”

"Let's go!" Davers nodded.

Under the guidance of the banner of the Hades Legion, the team quietly ...... to the west

Davers stared at the procession that meandered like a long dragon, standing for a long time......

Some of the pre-citizens and slaves who had risen early to work the fields west of Turii were so surprised that they forgot their work when they saw the Confederate troops advancing on the road beside the fields.

Of course, the military operations of the Tuafan coalition cannot escape the eyes of those who are interested.

Crotone had suffered a lot from the last attack on Amendolara, so in order to grasp the movements of the Tua Alliance, they sent several landless citizens to infiltrate the port of Turiyi as freedmen to gather intelligence, and Tratus was one of them.

Because the elders of the Tua alliance frequently went to Amendora for meetings two days ago, it attracted his attention, and he intuitively felt that something big was going on in the Tua alliance, so he paid close attention to the city of Turiyi. It was only today that he found out that the Turiyi army was dispatching, and after squatting in the grass and ascertaining the approximate number of the army, he pretended to walk leisurely and slowly towards the port.

What he didn't know was that there were people watching him not far behind him, and he certainly wouldn't know that he was making an assertion to drive a wedge between the Tua'ans, the Amendora, and the former mercenaries in the Tua League, which aroused Davers's vigilance and exposed himself.

"Big brother, this person is collecting important news about our alliance again, we should immediately go forward and catch him, so as not to leak the news that we sent troops to fight!"

"No, brother, Assistes has told us, 'Don't alarm them yet.'" Let's go tell Assistes first. ”

When they hurried back to the city and arrived at Asistes' quarters, they were told by the slave who opened the door that Asistes was not there, and that he was once again in the ranks of the fourth brigade as an adjutant.

The two were in a daze for a while: the person in charge of them was not there, what should I do?

Then the slave of Assistes asked, "Is there a man among you whose name is Aristiras?" ”

"I am." One of them replied.

The slave looked at him curiously, and then said, "The goddess of fate has favored you!" The host let you go directly to Lord Davers if you have something to do! ”

The two were very excited when they heard this, and they came to Davers's mansion without a moment's hesitation, and they were easily received by Davers.

After listening to the reports of the two, Davers was not surprised, but looked at the two of them with interest: the short man looked a little nervous and a little anxious, while the tall and thin man was much calmer, Davers was looking at him, and he was also watching Davers.

"Do you know why I didn't go and catch this Crotone spy?" Davers asked suddenly.

The short man didn't know what to say, but the tall and thin man said calmly: "I believe that the adults must have their own plans, this spy may be able to play a role, and the adults are not afraid that Crotone will know about our troops!" ”

Davers' eyes lit up, he looked at him and said, "Your name is Aristiras?" ”

"Yes, sir." The tall and thin man nodded.

Davers turned to another man: "Your name is Antrapolis?" ”

"Yes! Yes! Antrapolis is me! The short man replied excitedly.

"Thank you so much for your efforts on behalf of the city-state! Asistes once introduced you to me in detail, and he said, 'You are brothers, Katanai from Sicily, and you have now applied to become a prospective citizen of the Tua League'......', and Athistes also mentioned you, Aristiras, saying that you used your wisdom to quickly find this Crotone's spy, and did a good job! Davos complimented.

Hearing the personal praise of Davers, the lifelong consul of the Tua Alliance, the military genius, and the "Divine Favor", the calm Aristilas also showed a trace of self-satisfaction.

"You're well-educated?" Davers asked again.

"Yes. Our family was relatively wealthy when we were in Katanai, and when we were young, our parents hired a governess for us......" Aristiras's calm words were mixed with a bit of pain.

"The evil Dionysius not only captured Catanay, but also turned most of the people who did not escape into slavery, and forcibly moved a small part to the city of Syracuse, so that the robbers of Syracuse occupied our land! ......," Antrapolis said angrily.

"Hey, Sicily is now a volcano about to erupt!" Davers remembered what he had learned these days and sighed. Then the conversation changed: "Do you think it's a bit stupid that this Crotone was sent to be responsible for collecting intelligence, and he actually wanted to spread rumors and expose himself?" ”
