After Oonos left the northern front, the affairs of the north were left to Abrias. After annexing all of Dacia, Abrias ordered the troops to be collected.

He left only a small number of security forces on the remote northern border, and ordered the Seventh Army to return to Yaski to garrison first, and then transfer the Seventh Army back to Scythia or Catalan City for reorganization after the border was stabilized. He himself commanded the Sixth Army Corps and was stationed in Budapest.

Although the supplies here did not meet the standards of the Macedonian army and had to be transferred from the rear, he still chose to stay here for a while.

For he had noticed the strange movements of the Gauls, and was now going to keep an eye on them in front of him, and if these barbarians dared to do anything more excessively, he would not be polite.

In the past, he always aimed at his eldest brother Aloyos, and he was constantly catching up. Now he himself can deploy and command two legions to carry a line of defense in the kingdom. But I haven't seen each other for a long time and miss my brother Aloyos very much, is he doing well in Rome?

Aloyos was busy at this point. Under tremendous pressure, he acted on his own.

Because the Macedonian expeditionary corps was on the front and was about to extinguish the flame of hope of the Romans once and for all, the new king only wanted peace. The king's envoy had already met with the leaders of the House of Julius, and the two sides were discussing an armistice. At the same time, Gueras ordered the Macedonian army on the Roman peninsula not to attack the northern Roman camp. Aloyos saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

There will be no foreign edicts, not to mention that the king has not yet expressly forbade military operations against Sicily and Sardinia. Seeing the opportunity, Aloyos was going to make a stormy operation, attacking the Romans' soft underbelly as quickly and violently as a storm. This move is a prelude, and he is quietly plotting with his cousin Ducarros to arrange the matter.

In the near future, Aloyos' 2nd Roman Regiment has been war-free, and it will be expanded after expansion. Thanks to his new mobilization and conscription mechanism, the supply of soldiers continues to overflow like a living spring. After thinking about it, Aloyos decided not to waste resources and form another legion.

So he created the 3rd Campania Regiment in Rome. You know, at this time, the king was still discussing how to cut the legions.

Now Aloyos' new legion came in handy. He put this new legion under the command of Ducarus and asked him to rush to Sicily with the new legion as reinforcements. When they arrived in Upper Sicily, they mobilized the First Army Corps, and then the troops were united and attacked Syracuse.

This battle was able to completely eradicate the Roman power in Sicily. Then set out from the island and take Sardinia with a sea-crossing landing battle.

In the last Battle of the Islands, Antigone took control of two-thirds of the island with the First Greek Army. But did not attack Great Sicily.

Greater Sicily is the western island region, the main city of Syracuse, the city has many defenders, and the city defense is strong. The defenders were the original Scipio family troops, which were later renamed Juventus' army. There were several confrontations between the 1st Greek Army and the Juventus army, and the two sides did not attack each other on a large scale.

On this side is to receive the king's order to hold on to the occupied land; On the other side is the extremely conservative Juventus general, who only thinks about how to keep Syracuse. Everyone was not aggressive, so the island was peaceful, forming a relatively fixed pattern.

In Sicily, Amintas led the main force of the First Legion in Messina; And Pamition Antigomira and a small number of troops guarded Lilibal.

Ducarus, assisted by Phillips' fleet, arrived safely in Upper Sicily with his soldiers.

Messina, Ducarus showed Amyntas the token to him as soon as he saw him. He also asked the veteran Amintas to be his lieutenant. They intend to act immediately.

Ducarus was now to lead the 1st Greek Army, one of the main legions brought to the island by the old king, mixed with the 3rd Roman Campania Regiment, with a total strength of one and a half troops, 7,000 elite soldiers, to launch Operation Tempest.

Since there has been no fighting on the island for many days, and the water from each other's wells does not interfere with the water of the river, both sides have relaxed their vigilance, and the scope of military and civilian activities has spread. On the island of abundance, people can find what they need without fierce competition. But people involved in politics don't necessarily think that way.

On this day, Publius Juventus was hunting in the mountains with his group when he suddenly spotted the Macedonian army coming.

He didn't think so much, thinking that the enemy must be harassing him again, and he was very dissatisfied.

"Finally, I was in a good mood today, and I came out to hunt. Abominable Macedonians.

Come, give my orders, send more reinforcements from the city, and this time I will teach them a good lesson, so that they will not return. ”

And the herald hurriedly ran back to bring the rescuers, so that the lieutenant general thought that something had happened to the general, and he sent all the troops of the city to reinforce the general.

The main Macedonian fleet has been cruising on the sea outside the ancient city of Syra, threatening the direction of the city's sea surface. General Phillips, who was on standby on the water, saw what was going on in the city. According to the plan, after the army engaged, he would take advantage of the situation to break through the city by water.

Soon the Roman army met the Macedonian army.

Juventus is finding more and more enemies. Oops! The main Macedonian forces were dispatched. But now both sides can't get out of the way, and they have to decide the winner.

The generals on both sides simply said a few morale-boosting words, and the battle began. The Macedonian phalanx was lined up, and the long line of infantry resembled a long snake, and the overwhelming momentum seemed to swallow the opponent. The cavalry was divided into three main parts, deployed on the left, center, and right.

Ducarus's cavalry guards were in the center, Amintas was on the right, another general was on the left, and the light cavalry was assigned on the left flank, ready to carry out a mobile assault. The archers were arranged in three lines, and the light infantry served as a support for the fire units, protecting the projection troops. At the front were the projection troops, six stone ballistae.

The Roman side was dominated by Roman light and heavy infantry, with three defensive formations, with cavalry at the end.

As soon as the Macedonian army advanced to the range of the catapults, the engineers began to attack the enemy fiercely with the catapults. The first round of long-range strikes against Roman soldiers. The catapult fires a lit fire projectile, which is low accuracy, but with each hit, the burning fire shell explodes in the enemy line, causing a large number of casualties. It's like hitting your opponent with a heavy punch, and your heart is pounding. This caused panic among the Romans.

They were forced to switch from defense to offense and force themselves into battle. But he ran over and received a few rounds of bows and arrows, and a few rounds of javelins. The hastily Roman soldiers were defeated by the well-organized Macedonian phalanx and retreated in defeat.

Macedonia seized the initiative and launched a counteroffensive. The cavalry attacked from all sides, disrupting the rhythm of the Romans. The infantry pressed together, and the general attack was carried out smoothly.

In the end, the Macedonian army won a complete victory, and almost completely wiped out the defenders in the ancient city of Syria.

Phillips saw the fireworks on land and knew that the two armies were at war. Immediately launch a siege from the sea. Using their shipboard ballistae and concentrating their firepower, they opened a gap in the wall facing the sea, and the sailors took advantage of the weakness to occupy Syracuse.

Ducarus did an excellent job, and he especially praised Phillips for his decisiveness in helping him attack the city from behind. The catapult that Ducarus brought with him on this expedition was his killer weapon. It can be used as a large siege machine to open the gates and storm the city, or as a large ballista to threaten the enemy.

After occupying the whole of Sicily, they attacked Sardinia across the sea as planned.

Controlled by the Roman Julius family, Sardinia is a small island, but it is a choke point for the westward march by sea.

The Julius family was on this island, and the defense was negligent, and the defenders were few. Ducarlots took Sardinia along the way.

In this way, Aloyos' plan to cut first and then play was successful.

Instead, at sea, the Macedonian fleet fought with the Roman fleet. A ship with infantry on board was sunk, several hundred people were lost.

After receiving the news of the victory at the front, Gueras was speechless for a long time, and the victory was always satisfactory no matter what.
