The Macedonian decree had a distinctly military overtone, relatively harsh but extremely effective. If the law is used to govern the locals, the people will not have a fluke mentality. Aloyous worked this, and almost as soon as he arrived at the Roman consul's residence, he had someone to translate the Macedonian edicts written in Greek into Latin. He had officials from all over the country often preach in public about the new law, and asked the officials to explain the decree loudly and clearly to the Roman people.

In this way, the people will know the law and abide by the law, and the vast majority will become good citizens. And by patiently explaining in this way, the officials themselves will be more aware of the kingdom's decrees. As enforcers and defenders of the law, they must be self-disciplined and strictly abide by the law.

It is that all those who govern the country by law, from the powerful ministers to the common people, will be punished for their crimes, and they must not be tolerated. The power of the law is illustrated by the harsh laws and punishments of Macedonia, and Aloyos is notoriously harsh on those who break the law, and the laws of the state are resolutely enforced. The Roman people understood the cruelty of the penal law and did not dare to violate it, and they were in awe of Macedonian law. If there are no thieves in the country, and if treacherous and hypocritical hearts are not born, then the people will have no evil thoughts. This is exactly a virtuous circle in which the people know, understand, and abide by the law, and the people's hearts are good.

The outline of a stable, prosperous, and powerful power has emerged in front of us. Here is only a theoretical assumption, in case of ten thousand, if something happens to Macedonia itself, the Roman kingdom of Aloyos can even directly compete with it. Advanced society, developed technology, a large population, and abundant military resources. And its huge economy, if you count the rich Sicily, can account for nearly half of the tax revenue of the Kingdom of Macedonia! Well, that's the end of this false proposition. Aloyos was loyal to Macedonia, and his eldest son, Podarerios, also served as commander of the Praetorian Guard in Thessaloniki.

Now there is another possible scenario, that is, if Carthage declares war on Macedonia with an ambiguous attitude. Then blockading the Adriatic Sea and attacking Sicily is the best strategic option. But the Roman kingdom of Macedonia could fully confront it, and on the one hand guard against the threat of Rome in northern Italy. Aloyos was always confident, and he didn't need anything to add from home. On the Apennine Peninsula, where there was more than enough food and clothing, gold and silver, from the most advanced and developed cities, Macedonian heavy cavalry, phalanxes, archers, siege artillery and other high-level troops were directly brought out, and the general was trying to try his troops.

With its own excellent conditions and the integration of Aloyos, Latin Rome could already become a great power. How so? If Rome is regarded as a country, if the order is handed down, the people will gather in response to the king's will, and they will be united in one mind, and the people will have no different hearts, so that they can defend the country or send troops to fight. Rome now has that potential.

During the ten years of his reign in Rome, Aloyos: decreed the observance of the law; Upload and issue, you can make the order unimpeded, and the officials below will resolutely implement it; As a Roman consul, he knew how to cherish the people and conform to the will of the people; Understand the seasonal solar terms and follow the laws of nature; Enforce the law fairly, reward and punish appropriately; Clarify the hierarchy system, promote the virtuous and dispel traitors, so the identity cannot be transgressed, and there is a difference between the noble and the low; Society as a whole reveres good and rejects evil.

It is precisely because of his diligence in sowing hope and good fruit that his efforts will be rewarded. So his subjects will: answer the call and obey the execution; Compete to exhort and unite; Summoned to respond to the war, ordered to farm, and the people obeyed orders; There is no virtue in being rewarded, and there is no resentment in being punished; There is a difference between the high and the low, and the virtuous are not declining; The clothing is not compatible, and the high and low are also.

When the country progresses to this point, the national strength will be very strong, and the defense of the country will be unstoppable. Make yourself invincible, and then test whether the enemy can win. Therefore, it is said: victory can be known but not done.

The Roman family of Julius in northern Italy was also spying on intelligence in the south. They somewhat understood the situation on this side, and it was wrong to blindly attack and secure the defensive line, but if it dragged on, Alous's rule south of Latin would only be further consolidated and become a very powerful new "Roman kingdom". So the descendants of Romulus, who are gambling by nature, decided to give it a go. Not now, but when!

Now there is a confrontation between the north and the south of Rome, and the forces are roughly equal. To the north, the restored Julius family owned five cities, south of the Alps, in a five-sided ring around the Rubicon. The defensive posture is extremely good. In the south, bounded by the Latin Plain around the city of Rome, holding Latin and Campania is the two passes, which is equivalent to choking the choke point of the narrow Apennine Peninsula. As long as the pass is controlled and the defense line is stabilized, the four southern cities are very safe.

The barbarians of the north, Gaul and Germania, need not be mentioned for their internal situation. Their mission was to attack Macedonian cities in Eastern Europe in order to threaten Macedonia proper. Against the enemy on this side were the Sixth Legion of Abrias and the Seventh Legion of Oonos's own army. The Sixth Army was stationed in Budapest to keep an eye on the Gauls. When the Gallic army appeared in large numbers in Dalmatia, the Sixth Army moved to the river at the junction of Pannonia and Illyria. Set up camp east of the Illyrian River. They had the difficult task of balancing the security of Budapest with the enemy forces delaying their march to Epirus.

The Aegean naval regiment of Damasos, escorted by the Eastern Mediterranean Fleet, was rapidly rushing to reinforce in the direction of Apollonia. Oonos rode his horse as fast as he could, and his entourage consisted of sixty cavalry guardsmen, and hurried to Dulcis. Bronn and Artemios had already arrived there with the Seventh Legion and were in the process of relieving the siege.

The army that had gone through the primeval jungle to conquer the Amazonian warriors had also successfully subdued the local barbarians, successfully withdrew, and had been reorganized and stationed in Scythia. Now, Memon is marching west with this force, and has also incorporated some troops from the Catalan Defense Auxiliary Regiment to fight his old boss Oonos.

In this way, Macedonia initially assembled four corps in Eastern Europe. The 6th Army and the Aegean Naval Regiment were responsible for dealing with Gaul, and the 7th Army and the mixed regiment led by Memont were responsible for dealing with the Germans. Due to the surprise attack of the Germanic-Gallic alliance, the Macedonian side was in a state of emergency response, and in order to meet the needs of the rapid march, none of the legions going to the Western Front carried heavy catapults.

This decision was deliberate, even if it was a counteroffensive to capture the barbarian city, it would not be necessary to use a catapult. None of their cities were built with wooden walls, fences, and some tribes had no defensive walls. Therefore, there was not much need to bring heavy siege engines, which affected the mobility of the entire legion.

The Germanic-Gallic War broke out.
