"If the situation is not as I expected, the Carthaginians are still decisive to reinforce Sicily, and Prosous's forces are outnumbered, then the Seventh Legion, or even the Tenth Legion under Alexis, can be sent to Sicily to strengthen its strength. The Samonai people have been battered and their strength is no longer to fear, and Alexis does not need to keep too many troops. Davers looked around at everyone and said with a serious expression: "Now Dionya is at war with the three forces, although we can all deal with it, but we can't evenly distribute our forces, that will only lead to the prolongation of the war and increase the consumption of our national strength, we should take advantage of the opponent's lack of strength, first concentrate our forces to solve one of them, in order to alleviate the current situation, so as to free up our hands to solve other enemies!" ”

Davers paused for a moment, and seeing that everyone was lost in thought, he continued: "But who is the first thing we should concentrate our forces on destroying? Of course, it can't be Carthage, its power is strong, its territory is vast, and its war cannot be ended in a short time;

Although the Samonei are now the weakest of the three forces, their homeland is also in the mountains, so far we have lured them to fight on the plains, and try to avoid fighting in the mountains, because that is what they are good at, and it is impossible to completely conquer them without destroying their nests, and the current situation makes us have to be cautious and not to attack the mountains of Samonai that we are not familiar with for the time being;

In the end, Rome remains—" Davers's hand pointed to the map again, "Rome is not weak, but its power is mainly concentrated in the northern region of Latium, which is a relatively flat river plain, which is conducive to our war. The coastal area of Latin was mostly flat beaches, and the Roman navy was not strong, which was conducive to the landing of our troops and the transportation of supplies and food for the fleet. Over the decades, Rome has expanded everywhere and has many grievances with the surrounding powers, which is conducive to us uniting them in a joint crusade against Rome......"

After Davers finished speaking, the ministers of the Ministry of War had been persuaded by him, and Shilos immediately said: "Your Majesty, after we go back, we will begin to prepare for the expedition to Rome." ”

"Move fast!" Davers reminded in an accentuated tone: "We must take advantage of the fact that Rome has not yet destroyed the Helnikians, and its main army is still in the east, gather a large army and attack it with a swift attack, annihilate its forces scattered in the west, capture its Latin allies, weaken its power, and finally attack Rome directly, and fight it with a decisive battle!" I sought to eliminate its power within half a year and bring Rome and the surrounding Latin city-states under the rule of the kingdom...... Hey, you must know that after this war of such a huge scale, there are more than 100,000 soldiers who need military merit rewards, especially those recruits who have not been adults for a long time and have not yet obtained fiefdoms, but now there is no land left in the kingdom except for a part of the unallocated land in the Dauni area, so the Latin Am region has long been left ......"

Shilos and they immediately understood what Davers meant, whether it was public or private, which strengthened their determination to support Davers in leading the army to the north.

"Your Majesty, the matter of your expedition to the Latin region is very important, and I am afraid that the Senate will not necessarily pass this resolution." Felicius reminded. Indeed, the last time Davos led his army was the battle with the Meshapi-Puchetti coalition ten years ago, which laid the foundation for the eventual conquest of the entire Apulia region by the Kingdom of Dionia......

Davers smiled and said indifferently, "So I will convince you first, and I will have a lot of votes in favor." ”

Shiros, Felicius, they also laughed. In the Dionian Senate, the senators from the army did occupy a significant proportion.

"Next, I will talk to the five rotating presidents, as for the other veterans...... I don't think they will refuse in the end, because once they conquer Rome, they will be offered a lot of positions as administrators. "Davers was confident in convincing the Senate.

At this time, Tolmide asked a question: "Your Majesty, the Third Legion was defending against the Kautini in Campania and transferred it, what if the Kautini re-entered the Campanian League?" ”

"Isn't that just right?" Davers calmly replied: "There has been no movement since Cautini changed back to their fighters, and if we can lure them out, it will also reassure us." Moreover, in the current situation, we cannot rely on us alone to protect the Campanian League, and it is time for the Campanians to share the difficulties for us. ”

After discussing the northern expedition of the army for a while, Shilos and the others took their leave, and then the military department was extremely busy, because it was necessary to mobilize soldiers, gather various legions, mobilize fleets, and raise military rations...... and a series of other complicated affairs should be completed as soon as possible.

…………………………………………

Ever since Adoris moved out of King Davers' mansion on the grounds that he was "old enough to support himself", his room had been empty, but he had moved back in the past few days, not because he missed his adoptive parents, but because he was injured.

In the Battle of Venossa, he violated military law. After the battle, the conscientious detachment leader reported his performance to the Legion, and the commander of the Second Legion, Matonis, felt embarrassed after seeing it, he wanted to suppress the matter, but he was afraid that he would not be able to hide it from Davers when he thought of it, so he simply asked to see the king and explained the situation.

After hearing this, Davers was very angry and said without hesitation: "I can't just ignore military law because he is my child, if you spare him, then what will other soldiers think?!" Will they strictly follow orders and obey your commands? ”

In fact, it was this kind of severe punishment that Davers wanted to make Adoris firmly remember to obey the command and cooperate closely with his comrades in battle, rather than just killing the enemy and doing some risky actions, which is also for his safety.

As a result, Matonis had to declare: according to military law, Adory would be executed with sticks.

The twenty sticks were sturdy, making Adores's ass flesh open, and it was difficult for him to even walk.

When Christoya heard this, she was so distressed that she forcibly let him move back to the mansion to facilitate his care and treatment, regardless of whether Adoris agreed or not.

Unable to resist his adoptive mother, Adoris had to obediently return to his original residence.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

"Come in." Seeing that it was Croto Katáx who walked into the house, Adoris breathed a sigh of relief, and was not in a hurry to cover his red and swollen ass with the quilt, and said listlessly: "Croto, it's you." ”

"Big brother, who do you think it is? Aidui? Crotokatas smirked slyly.

"Nonsense! What do you know?! Adores glared at him.

"I know a lot." Krotokatax blinked: "You and Edui, the daughter of the patriarch of Torex, have gotten along, and your mother has already come forward to negotiate with Torex and put your marriage to Edui until April, but now it may be postponed until the end of the year." Yesterday, she came to see you, and I think she was worried that if you were broken, you wouldn't be able to have a baby with her......"

At the beginning, Agnes's brother wanted to marry Davers, but Christoya used her network to keep dating Adoris, and as a result, Adoris took a fancy to Torex's gentle and beautiful daughter. Torex was once the leader of a large tribe in Puchetti, and his family was quite influential in the Puchetti region, but after becoming the patriarch of Dionia, he has always been relatively low-key, whether it was for the political purpose of wooing the Puchetti people, or hoping to have a virtuous daughter-in-law, the Davers were relatively satisfied, so the marriage was quickly decided.

"Damn Klotto!" Adoris pressed his hands on the bed and stood up, trying to teach his brother a lesson, but he immediately covered his ass and cried out "ouch, ouch, ouch".

"Big brother, are you okay?" Klotocatax hurriedly leaned over and asked with concern.

Adoris seized him and tapped him twice on the head, and said, "Klotto, you are bad at learning now, be careful that I go to my mother to complain." ”

"Big brother, I'm afraid of you, can't I leave now, but you don't want to hear good news." With that, Klotocatax walked out.

"Wait, Klotto! What's the good news?! My dear brother, for my sake, tell me what the hell is the good news?! ……”

Seeing Adores' pleading eyes, Klotocatax turned back and sat down, and said with a slight triumph: "Big brother, my father is going to personally lead a huge army composed of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 1st and 2nd Cavalry Legions, and go north to the Latium region to fight Rome!" ”

"Really?!" When Adores heard this, he immediately became excited.

"Of course it's true! This morning, my father's decision has been passed by the Senate, and I believe that it will not be long before the army will set off! Klotocatax said with the same excitement.

"Great! Finally, there is another battle! Adorys clenched his fists excitedly.

Klotocatax looked at Adoris, who was half-pouting and sitting carefully on the edge of the bed, and couldn't help but remind: "Big brother, I'm afraid that when the army sets off, your injuries are not healed. ”
