294: Celebration Feast

In recent times, the Olympian League has won a series of great victories against the Eastern Romans in the western part of the Anatonian continent. First, Troy was freed from enemy control, then captured the enemy's fortress of Abydos, and then recovered the Eastern Floating Fleet, and even the opponent's old capital, Nicaea City, the most critical strategic point in the rear, was attacked, and the losses were extremely heavy and almost fell.

After a number of major blows, the Eastern Romans were greatly weakened by the strength of the army, navy and air, and had to retreat to the area around the city of Nicaea, unable to take care of the rest of the world.

The Olympian League, on the other hand, was gaining momentum, controlling the entire western part of the Anatonian continent except for the area around Nicaea. Seeing the reversal of the situation, the city-states that had surrendered to the enemy country announced that they would rejoin the alliance. Their army, together with the Anatonian Legion stationed here by Pera, numbered more than 100,000, and more than half of them were veterans of war. Coupled with the newly returned Eastern Floating Fleet and the two black dragons sitting here, the strength of the army has greatly surpassed that of the enemy.

The time soon came the next morning, when the city of Troy had swept away the depression of half a year and became very lively.

The days when the Eastern Romans were completely defeated and driven away, and were wantonly humiliated and frantically plundered by the enemy have passed, and the ecstasy in the hearts of the people when they learned the news is indescribable! Countless crowds of people poured into the streets, and they celebrated frantically, singing and dancing loudly to express their excitement, and the pennants and colored stripes of celebration were hung all over the city, and everyone had a heartfelt smile on their faces.

Shops on the street that had been closed for a long time have reopened. The shopkeeper took out all the goods that had been managed to hide and escaped the catastrophe and sold them at a very low price. People have also dug up money from the corners of their homes and underground, and rushed to buy various daily necessities in large quantities. The city of Troy seems to have returned to its former prosperity. In the past six months, they have had enough of hunger, cold, and material shortages, and now they can finally return to normal life!

The celebratory atmosphere of the city soon spread to the royal city as well, and the Trojan king Priam held a grand celebration in his magnificent palace. Radiant, he was carefully dressed, put on a set of extremely gorgeous and mighty battle robes, and sat firmly on the throne in the center of the hall, and the whole person looked majestic. seems to be more than ten years younger, and he has returned to the bloody days when he personally led the army to charge into battle and was born and died on the battlefield.

Under the throne. A long carpet of bright red gold rimmed divides the hall into left and right sides, and is surrounded by colorful and gorgeous gemstone lamps, fine works of art, and countless gold and silver utensils. The distinguished guests sat on two sides, and on the right were native princes and nobles from the nearby city-states, led by the Grand Prince Hector and the High Priest of Apollo, Chryses.

On the left are Dmitry, Elrens, Jole, Ernie, Leviathan, the Anatonian Legion led by Antaeus, and the generals of the Eastern Floating Fleet. They weren't native to the continent of Anatonia. However, they contributed the most to this war, and it was only because of their resistance that they were able to finally overthrow the brutal rule of the Eastern Romans.

The crowd gathered to celebrate the victory and regain their freedom, laughing loudly, and drinking glasses, and the mood was extremely excited. After three rounds of drinking, the king of Troy stood up, raised the magnificent wine glass carved from the jewel in his hand, and shouted: "Everyone, the reason why we were able to defeat the Eastern Romans and achieve this great victory is due to the heroic slaughter of the enemy by Major General Dmitry and two distinguished guests from Dragon Island! To thank them for their contributions, let's toast them together!"

Everyone in the audience applauded. They all stood up to toast, and Elrens and the other three also laughed and drank the wine in their hands. Then Priam continued: "I have to admit that we have made serious mistakes before this! We have been demoralized by many years of stable life, and we have been cowardly and withdrawn in the face of a seemingly formidable enemy, which has brought shame on our country and the misery of our people! But today, I have realized my mistake and am determined to change my ways! I swear that from this day forward, I will never retreat even half a step in front of the enemy, and I will do everything in my power to assist His Excellency Dmitry in striking at the enemy! For this reason, even if I die on the battlefield!!"

The crowd applauded enthusiastically again, and the eldest prince Hector stood up and shouted loudly: "Now the Eastern Romans have lost all their territories except Nicaea, and they have been defeated again and again, and they have been cowered in a lonely city, and their strength has been greatly weakened! Once we succeed in occupying Nicaea, the entire western part of Anatonia will be owned by the Olympian Alliance, and at the same time, the enemy will lose this strategic position in the rear, and will suffer incalculable heavy losses, without the largest source of supplies, the combat effectiveness on the Balkan front will also be greatly reduced, or even collapsed, it is simply a multiplicity!"

After Hector said this, several Trojan generals immediately stood up and shouted loudly: "The words of the eldest prince are right, send troops to attack Troy, we are willing to lead the army as the vanguard, and we must completely defeat the Eastern Romans no matter what, even if we sacrifice our lives for this!!"

"The eldest prince said well, we will completely exterminate the Eastern Romans in one go!"

The princes and ministers of the city-states shouted in agreement, but neither the Anatonian legions, led by Dmitry, nor others, spoke. The reason is simple, the capture of Nicaea will only benefit Troy and the local city-states, so it can greatly expand the scope of their power.

But for Pera's Anatonian Legion and the Eastern Floating Fleet, it would be of little benefit to continue the attack on Nicaea City. They are the guest troops sent by Pera to defend their territory from enemy invasion. Western Anatonia was only the flank of the whole war, located in the main battlefield on the Balkan continent, and it was the focus of the war
