Hearing is not as impressive as witnessing.

- Horace (founder and founder of Roman classicism)

The Fleet Commander of the Maxentius family and the Fleet Commander of the Richard family, there was no direct connection between the two of them, but the same mission also allowed them to have no contradictions between them; Before Oscar's fleet arrived, they also had a tacit understanding that they were cruising on both sides of the Latin harbor without interfering with each other.

Now the fleet of the Augustan family came, and of course they found their backbone; The commander of the Richard family fleet is naturally also a core member of the Richard family, and he must be well aware of the relationship between the Richard family and the Augustan family, and it is natural for him to ask to be incorporated into the Augustan family fleet.

And why did the commander of the fleet of the House of Maxentius also ask to be incorporated into the fleet of the House of Augustus? Oscar didn't know, and Mary was puzzled; However, looking at the commander of the Maxentius family who is getting closer and closer, Oscar and Mary know that all the mysteries are about to be revealed!

When both commanders boarded the Anne, Oscar did not welcome the two commanders into the conference room for a detailed discussion, but began the meeting with them directly on the deck. The first to introduce himself to Oscar was Commander Theous of the Richard family, who was a core member of the Richard family; It was also the man sent by the Richard family to wait here for the Augustus fleet.

He bluntly told Oscar that the Richards had joined forces with the Carters family, and had absorbed a large number of industrial and commercial families in Rome to form a new force; The value of the existence of this new force is to protect the Casa Star of the Augustus family and rescue the family members inside, but he is not sure what the specific situation is.

But what he can be sure of is that if the Augustan fleet appears near the Latin provinces, then his task is to lead the fleet into the Augustan fleet; If the Augustus fleet had not been seen in the vicinity of the Latin provinces, his mission would have been to wait for the retreat of the Richards and Carters in the Latin harbor.

The orders received by Namus, the commander of the Maxentius family, were essentially the same as those of Theous; It's just that at noon today, Nams also received another piece of information from Decius, the leader of the Maxentius family, which Theous didn't know, but it was really important enough to change everything.

After seeing Oscar, Naams gave him this information; Oscar took this so-called important information with a little curiosity, and it seemed that just one glance at Oscar's expression became extremely serious. After reading it slowly, Oss ordered directly to everyone present:

"Commander Theoeus, Commander Nams; Return to your fleet at once, merge your fleet with ours into one fleet, and when you have completed your mission, you will come together on this Anne, we need to have a military meeting! Anne, you immediately convey the order to Shi Xiu to accept the merger of the two fleets; Return to the Anne as soon as you're done! ”

After Oscar gave the order, he watched the three people who left in a hurry and handed the information in their hands to Mary; Mary seems to have a glimpse of intelligence, but she is also a change of color! It turned out that the intelligence information was as follows: the army sent by the Scipio family to support the Maxentius family had defected before the battle, and had all joined Marius's rebels; Now the rebels have surrounded the entire city of Rome!

Marius's thousands of guards who were responsible for surrounding the Star of Casa took the opportunity to launch a surprise attack on the Augustus, but were strangled by the Maxentius family escort led by Marcus and the combined forces of the Richards and Carters families, as well as the mysterious army that suddenly appeared; And, now the three sides have formed a coalition in the city of Rome!

Tonight, the Maxentius family will unite with the Augustus family, as well as the Richard family and the Carters family, to gather the strongest forces to break out; The fleet cruising near the Latin port needs to be prepared to respond. If the breakthrough fails, then the fleet of the Maxentius family will immediately set off for Sardinia to join the Augustus!

When the Augustan family was still thinking about which side to stand on, Marius decisively attacked the Augustan family; This is something that neither Oscar nor Mary expected, nor could it have imagined. But now that Marius has already done it; Then even if the war between the Augustians and Marius officially broke out, there would be no room for anything more.

This is also the reason why Oscar directly ordered Theous and Nams to merge their fleet into his own family fleet just now, since there is no other choice, then completely unite with the Maxentius family to deal with Marius together! Whether it's Oscar, or Marius; I never imagined that the war between each other would break out because of a subordinate.

Perhaps, this is the fault of the Augustan family, who did not use people well; Perhaps, this is the fault of Marius, who himself does not know people. However, the war has already broken out, and there is no room for manoeuvre; In the end, everything is left to the most violent blood and fire!

The merger of the fleets went very smoothly, and it was just a regrouping of the three fleets; Shi Xiu gathered all the warships under his command together to form the Chinese fleet located in the center. The most powerful of the Maxentius fleet was to act as the left wing on the left flank, and the Richards fleet was to act as the right flank on the right flank.

The four transports in the Maxentius family fleet and the twelve transports in the Richard family fleet did not join the front fleet, but were all arranged into the transport fleet in the main fleet; After arranging everything, Shi Xiu, Theous, and Nams each took a double battleship to the Anne, where Oscar was.

In addition to the three fleet commanders, only Anne, Mary, and Raqqa participated in the temporary military meeting of Oscar. After all seven people, including Oscar, were seated, Oscar took the information that Naams had given him to the unsuspecting and looked through it; After reading it, everyone's faces became extremely ugly, especially Raqqa, who learned that the family mansion had been attacked.

However, this is not a waste of time to be angry; Oscar said directly to the six people present: "Since the situation has deteriorated to this point, then we can only try to help them break through tonight." With Marius's cunning and cunning, it is certainly impossible to hide from Marius in tonight's joint breakout; He will also arrange for a large army to chase and intercept him on the road.

However, Marius certainly did not know that tonight's breakout was a joint operation of several people, and the strength and number of the breakout army would definitely far exceed Marius's imagination; In the end, the key factor that determines the success of the breakthrough may be who is more prepared and determined on both sides.

For neither the side that chooses to break through nor the side that besieges the city can be unaware of the enemy's movements; Confrontations between the two sides are certainly inevitable. However, the breakthrough was carried out at night after all, and the numerical superiority of the army under Marius could not be brought into play; The probability of being able to successfully break through is still relatively high.

The crux of the matter is that we cannot pin all our hopes on this highly unreliable possibility; You know, the people who break through this time are all crucial for all of us here. Commander Theoeus, Commander Nams, I'm sure your family will be in the breakout army as well; Me and my family are the same, and we have to do something about it.

This time, our Augustus fleet brought not only these warships, but also two large groups of elite infantry; Although their numbers are not large, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated, and at least they have no pressure to deal with twice the enemy army in local battles. In order to prepare for their joint breakthrough, I decided to personally lead the infantry of these two brigades to land in the port with Raqqa and Mary!

Shi Xiu, Theous, and Nams, the task of your three commanders is to continue cruising outside the port and ensure our absolute control over the sea outside the port! Anne, as soon as we take the port, you will arrange for ten transports to anchor in the harbor; As soon as the breakout army arrives, we will leave the Latin provinces by boat! ”

After giving the order, all six stood up and made a promise; Once the order for war is given, then everything will begin. Oscar left the Anne with Mary and Raqqa and headed straight for four transports full of infantry; The elite of the two thousand Guards Infantry Corps was quickly ready for battle under the orders of Oscar, and the archers also took to the deck of the transport.

The three commanders who returned to their respective fleets also led their respective fleets into action; The most powerful of the Maxentius family fleets headed directly for the outermost ocean, while Shi Xiu's fleet cruised in the innermost layer, and the Richard family's fleet cruised in between.

Anne took all the warships under her command and escorted the four transports that Oscar was carrying in the direction of the harbor; By the time the transport ship was less than two hundred meters away from the port, the port was already filled with archers and infantry under the command of Marillus. Oscar immediately ordered the Cretan archers to begin long-range strikes against the army in the harbor; Arrows from the Cretan archers were fired into the harbor.

The well-aligned Marian army suffered heavy losses in the first round under such sharp attacks; However, they soon scattered, looking for nearby cover to protect themselves, and also shot the arrows in their hands. The rain of arrows on both sides was not too intense, and Oscar took the opportunity to dock with the transport ship; The 1,000 Shenyin Commando Regiment on the ship also took advantage of the situation to kill them.

The Hidden Commando's individual combat ability and small-scale cooperative combat ability are very powerful, although they are not as good as the tragic dead soldiers under the command of Ares, but they are also the best of the nearly 100,000 troops of the Augustus family. With the frontal attack of the Hidden Commando and the cooperation of the Cretan archers, the defenders of the harbor were quickly cleared; The port was also occupied by Oscar's army.
