Camillus knew that Rome had fallen and was very sad. He gathered the Romans who had fled to Adi, raised an army, and persuaded the Adi to join in, and then seized the opportunity to attack the careless Celtic tribes who had come to collect food by night, and won a great victory.

News of the victory soon spread throughout Latinum, and Camillus became so famous that the Latimes, who hated the Celtic invasion, came to him, and the Romans in the city demanded to accept his command.

After venturing his fortune to be appointed as military dictator by the Roman senators, who were still holding the Capitolian Acropolis, Camillus reorganized his growing ranks and attacked the Kellite Grain Brigade, which was infesting the towns of Latinum.

The situation of the Celts became more and more difficult as time passed, because of the lack of food and grass, and the fear of the attack of Camillus's army, they did not dare to plunder everywhere. A large number of corpses were piled up in the city of Rome, and no one to deal with and bury them, which caused epidemics, coupled with the lack of adaptation, the Celts fell ill and died in battle, and their morale was extremely low.

Brenus, the Celtic king who had been in Rome for half a year, could not resist the persuasion of many tribal leaders and decided to make peace with the Romans. However, the Romans defending Capitoline Hill quietly learned that "Camillus was coming to Rome with a large number of troops" and refused to negotiate peace.

Despite his anger, Brenus was helpless, but he was unwilling to leave empty-handed, and just as he was hesitating, he heard that Camillus had led a large army to come to the rescue. In view of the low morale of the Celtics now, Brenus did not dare to lead his team to fight them and was forced to order a retreat.

However, less than ten miles from Rome, the morale-boosting Allied Latin army led by Camillus caught up, and a fierce battle ensued.

In the end, the Celts suffered a crushing defeat, most of them were surrounded by their pursuers, and a few fled in various places, with the result that all the people in the neighboring towns and villages went out to hunt them down and almost slaughter them, leaving only Brenus and his cronies and a few dozen others to flee back.

The battle inflicted heavy losses on the Celts in the upper reaches of the Po River valley.

Although the Romans suffered losses in this war with the Celts, it eased the conflict between the nobility and the commoners, and the people who had migrated to the Victories returned to Rome and worked together to rebuild the city. The Senate also enacted laws that favored the reconciliation of the aristocracy and the plebeians, and at the same time took the initiative to admit many exiles who had lost their homes in the war with the Celts as Roman citizens.

In view of the lessons learned from the defeat at the Battle of the Aria River, combined with his previous combat experience, after obtaining the support of the Senate, Camillus implemented reforms on the Roman army, and at the same time Rome unexpectedly received the strong support of a powerful country in the western Mediterranean, so in the second year after the war with the Celts, Rome began to regain its vitality and began to attack the surrounding city-states of Latin that had broken away from the Latin Union and turned their backs on Rome because of the war, after several years of hard fighting, Most of the cities of the Latins had been brought back under their control and the Latin Confederation had been re-established.

During this period, the Etruscans in the north took advantage of the fact that the Roman army was pinned down in the Latium area, and sent a large army to surround the important Etruscan city-state that Rome had spent many years to conquer more than ten years ago, and now it was a completely Roman colonial city, and tried to force it to surrender.

The Romans defended the fortified city, refused to surrender, repeatedly repelled enemy attacks, and repeatedly crossed the river for help.

Shortly after the end of the Latin War, Camillus led the Roman army to attack the Etruscan army besieging the Uighurs on the north bank of the Taipei River.

The Etruscans, who had been ravaged by the Celts, had not yet recovered in strength, while the Roman army, which had implemented the Camillus reforms, was demoralized and won several battles.

After repelling the Etruscan army, the Romans did not rest on their laurels, but after learning about the weakness of the Etruscans through war, they seized the opportunity to continue to attack the Etruscan territories that had been threatening Rome for a hundred years.

Within a few years, with the capture of important Etruscan city-states such as Tarchna, Velch, Novi, and Volsinii, Rome also brought most of the southern Etruscan under its control.

During this period, the Walseys and Helnickians in the south of Rome, fearing the rise of a powerful Rome that would threaten the security of their own territories, also entangled other forces around Rome to invade the territory of Rome and its allies, and this time was probably the largest in the decade.

Davers stared at the map of Rome and its colonial cities, as well as the allies who had submitted to him, which included a large territory.

He didn't know how much trouble it would cause to Dionia if Rome grew up, but Dionia had been pouring a lot of manpower and material resources into integrating and unifying southern Italy and eastern Sicily for more than ten years, and there was really no extra strength to interfere with Rome far away in central Italy, which was an unfamiliar area for the Dionians, and sending a large army was too much for the Dionian kingdom, and sending a small force was easy to be wiped out.

He was hoping that this time the Wolsey would be a threat to Rome. Unfortunately, his knowledge of Roman history in his previous life began with the Punic Wars, and little is known about the history of Rome's early rise, the only one known is Camillus. Reading the information gathered by the intelligence services, combined with what little knowledge he had learned in his previous life, he learned that Camillus, who was very famous in the Latium region at this time, was the same Camillus who was called the "Father of Rome" in his previous life.

"Where is Camillus now?" He then asked.

Aristilas was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that what Davers was talking about was the man he had kept them focused on: "Previously, Camillus did not serve as the commander of the Etruscan expedition due to his old age and infirmity. He has been in the city of Rome and there is no new news yet. ”

"It seems that this time the Romans will also make him the commander of the resistance to the Volsey coalition forces." Davers sighed lightly: "Keep an eye on this war and report back to me at any time." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Aristias replied.

Davers pondered for a moment, then remembered one more thing, and hurriedly said to his clerk Henipolis: "Heni, you give the Sicilian catanae, Naxos, Sikuli, Hebita, and Hera at once...... The chief executives of these cities write letters. Let them try to persuade the people after the autumn harvest to sell the surplus grain to the city hall at a reasonable price, so that it can be used to help the people in the Jinyi area......"

"Yes, Your Majesty. I'll finish writing the letter right away and give it to you for review. After Henipolis had finished speaking, he immediately prepared to write a letter.

Davers looked down at the Rome icon on the map again, and sighed in his heart: this drought really couldn't have come at a better time......

…………………………………

Two days later, Davos met with the Delphi priest Cretimeni, who had arrived in a hurry, in the royal palace.

Davers did not show joy at Delphi's offer. Instead, he politely thanked Delphi and suggested that unless Delphi openly invited the Kingdom of Dionya to join the Holy Alliance, Dionya would not take action, and it would never be possible for Dionya to take the initiative to apply!

Crétimeni was stunned, he thought that Dionia would be grateful for Delphi's favor, but he did not expect Davers to be so cold and arrogant.

In fact, if Crétimmeni had a deep understanding of Dionia's situation, he would have understood why Davers did this.

Because Davers was not only the king of the kingdom of Dionia, he was also the high priest of the temple of Hades and a descendant of Hades, how could he take the initiative to worship at the feet of another god, even though these two gods controlled different realms, and he would also feel unable to account to the priests of Hades and the majority of believers. But if the other party took the initiative to invite, Davers felt that it was easier to accept. On the surface, it is only a matter of the attitude of the Lord and not taking the initiative, but in fact it is an important issue that determines who is the master and who is the second of the two gods of Dionia.

The two sides are frozen at this critical point, and neither can budge.

Chrétimeni had no choice but to turn the conversation to something else – to invite Dionysia to the next Pythian Games, which would take place two years later (in the summer of 379 BC).

Davers thanked him again for the invitation, but reminded him: "Dionya is a multi-racial kingdom, and as long as the Pythian Games allow alien citizens of Dionya to compete, Dionya will inevitably form a team to participate." ”

This is a condition that Delphi could not agree to on its own, and such unconventional moves must be agreed to by the members of the Holy Alliance. Similarly, it was certainly impossible for Delphi to risk angering Sparta by openly inviting Dioonia to join the Holy League.

Crétimmeni thought he had come in good faith, but because of Davers's arrogance, he was departed in anger, and Dionia's membership in the Holy League was put on hold.

However, an enraged Chrétimmeni returned and spread the rumor that the "King of Dionya was arrogant and rude to Delphi" in the Delphi region.

Davos was unimpressed by the angry departure of the priests of Delphi, who did not see the time to intervene in the affairs of Greece itself. As for Delphi's willingness to promote Dionya in Greece itself, Davos also laughed: for more than ten years, Dionya has been continuously attracting Greek freedmen from the vast Greek city-state territory in the Eastern Mediterranean, and has already formed a number of stable channels without Delphi's help.
