Chapter 344 Lilibe's Secret

Also on the flagship of the Third Fleet was Leotidides, who had proposed and planned this night raid to King Davos, and, through the interrogation of the Carthaginian captives, had a great deal of power over the city of Lilibe. He knew more, so even though the commander of the Second Corps, Martonis, was more senior in the army than him, Davos still accepted Leotizides as the interim commander of the operation.

As soon as Leotides entered the port, he kept observing the surrounding environment and comparing it with the situation revealed by the Carthaginian prisoners: the entire port bay was surrounded by walls more than 10 meters high, and the walls were about forty meters apart. There is a tower, which is full of Carthaginian soldiers under the light of clusters of torches at the top of the city. If the second legion hadn't taken down the natural breakwater, I am afraid that the warships entering the port would have been shot from all directions. Rocket.

But even if he had successfully invaded the port of Lilibe and successfully captured the lighthouse, Leotidides did not think that the Dionysian army could capture Lilibe in one day, so his original plan was to night Attacking and destroying the port of Liliba made it impossible for the Carthaginians to use it for a short period of time to continue to transport cargo and troops for the transshipment of the army.

However, King Davos's reply later proposed to try to capture the entire city of Lilibe as much as possible, and wrote at the end of the warrant: Cykrian may have a way to break the city.

What can Sekelian, who is good at naval warfare, do for sieges on land? ! ...Leotidides has been thinking about this question, and his eyes turned to the natural breakwater to the west: the ships of the Sicilian fleet were docked beside the embankment, and countless legionnaires were densely gathered on the embankment. Most of the soldiers were waiting in line, and only a few soldiers quickly ran to the lighthouse under the leadership of the team officer. At the same time, soldiers in the lighthouse continued to carry wounded comrades out... The team officers' passwords sounded from time to time on the wall of the embankment, and there were also countless The dark shadow of the swaying, flames rose from the city further ahead, illuminating the arrows flying in the air, and also illuminating the legionnaires in black helmets and black armor, carrying sapwood, they were preparing through the firewall...

Seeing this time, Leotidides couldn't help but sweat, in his opinion: the capture of the tower gate is indeed a key to unlocking the defense of Lilibe, but after all, the aisle on the city is too narrow, and the strength cannot be Unfolding, once the Carthaginians have strengthened the defenses there, it will be very difficult to take it down in a short period of time, unless it is a miracle! Alas...it's still too short of time!

"Go and ask where Cykrian is?" Leotizides whispered to his adjutant Tagluo.

Tagle immediately asked several ships of the Sicilian fleet in the route, and the crew members all gave the same answer: "Lord Sekelian is in the port area."

……………………………………

The members of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade did not understand why the order given to them required them to capture all the laborers on the dock after boarding the dock, but also to injure as few people as possible.

Despite the doubts in their hearts, the mountain scout team faithfully carried out the order. In fact, the task was easy to complete, because at that time the laborers were all gathered at the pier, ready to unload the cargo. The cargo ship has quickly approached the trestle, and the mountain scouts who drilled out of the linen quickly jumped ashore. The workers at the dock have not yet figured out what the situation is, and they have become prisoners.

Under the guard of ten mountain scouts, these laborers were escorted to the side of the trestle. Next, they saw the Dionysian man holding a sharp blade, causing chaos in the port area. They were all frightened and did not dare to move.

at this time,

The Dionian soldiers, who had been staring at them like wicked gods, suddenly stood up straight, punched their left chest with their right fists, and shouted, "Lord Sekelian!"

"Brothers have worked hard!" Accompanied by this strong voice, a group of people appeared in front of the workers. The leader was wearing a black helmet with a purple and red crown and a black breastplate. His sharp eyes slowly turned from The workers swept across their faces.

The workers bowed their heads in fear.

"Are all the wharf labor here?" Sekelian asked in a deep voice.

"Except for a few who did not obey the dissuasion and tried to resist and escape...we were stabbed." The team member replied.

Seklian took off the helmet, handed it to his men, and strode up to the laborers.

The workers lowered their heads even lower in horror.

Sekelian stopped in front of a thin young laborer, and suddenly his voice became hoarse: "Setonus, look up and see who I am!"

The worker trembled when he heard the voice, and raised his head subconsciously, only to see the man in front of him with his back hunched, his eyelids drooping, and his eyes staring at him blankly.

"Falkers! You are Fokels! You're still alive, that's great!" The young laborer screamed and jumped with joy, grabbing Sekelian with his hands involuntarily.

The soldier following Sekelian immediately avoided his hand vigilantly, and the young worker immediately woke up from his excitement, looked at the other party and the soldiers around him in surprise, and became anxious again.

"Don't worry, they are all my saviours!" Sekelian stood up straight again, said to the soldiers beside him, and asked them to stand farther away without worrying about his safety.

Then, when he turned to these laborers, the laborers who had been looking at him curiously just lowered their heads again.

He said softly with a sincere expression: "I am Phorkels, and I am also the commander of the Dionysian Sicilian fleet, Sekelian. You all know that the storm destroyed many warships in Carthage and our Dionia, I was also blown near the port of Lilibe by the wind and waves. If I didn't take care of you during that time, I might not be alive today, you are my saviors!  …”

This sincere remark of Cykrian caused a commotion among the workers, and the young worker named Setonus couldn't help but ask: "You... are you really Cykrian?! Tsukuru is the 'Undefeated Admiral in Naval Battle' Sekelian?!"

"With so many Dionian soldiers here, how dare I lie!" Sekrian laughed.

"My God, it's unbelievable that I have lived for a while with the noble General Cykrian who was favored by Poseidon!" Setonus was excited again.

"General Sekelian, you know, we are not Carthaginians, when you were in this port... we all got along with you friendly, you... you won't let these soldiers hurt us, right?! ' asked one of the older laborers, emboldened.

"Uncle Argas... General Cykrian is so good, how could he hurt us!" Setonus immediately defended him.

Sekelian took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Of course I will not hurt you who have suffered and suffered with me! On the contrary, I will apply to His Majesty the King to let you join the Kingdom of Dionia! I believe you all know that by becoming a citizen of Dionia, you can obtain land, serve in the military, and obtain public office, which is far better than being oppressed by the Carthaginians here!”

"If it wasn't for the soldiers of Lilibe who stared at us every day, we would have found an opportunity to leave here! Lord Sekelian, we are willing to follow you to Dionia!" Then nodded in agreement.

The reaction of the workers was not surprising to Sekelian. Having lived here for a while, he knew very well that among these workers were Greeks, Greek-Phoenicians, Numibians, but there was no pure The Phoenicians and Carthaginians, these laborers had no sense of belonging to Carthage.

Thinking of this, he said loudly: "According to the "laws of Dionia", in order to become a citizen of Dionia as soon as possible, you must contribute to the kingdom. Therefore, now I need your help in order to capture this country as soon as possible. A town!"

"Let us also... attack the city of Lillibe together?!" Setonus pointed to the towering city wall in front, with a look of fear on his face.

The other workers also had similar thoughts. They were excited just now and now bowed their heads, not daring to make eye contact with Sekelian.

"Of course it's not for you to fight like our soldiers." Sekelian immediately denied it, his eyes searched in the crowd, and finally fell on a wretched middle-aged laborer: "Karl Mulhouse, I once I heard you accidentally mention that there is a tunnel in the port area that leads to the city, where is this tunnel?"

"Ah! You... when did you hear me say that?" Calmulus was startled and subconsciously wanted to deny it.

"Just after I invited you to a pub for a drink, you said that after you were drunk." Sekelian stared at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

This Carmilus had a habit of stealing and drinking heavily. He often sneaked into the homes of people in the port area at night to steal, and exchanged the stolen items for alcohol. For this reason, he was caught by the port patrol twice, and one of his ears was cut off. One finger, other laborers despised him and did not approach him. Only Seikelian considered that this person often sneaked into the homes of the people in the port area, and maybe he knew some secrets that others did not know, so he wanted to deal with him, but he did not expect that he would actually He has obtained such a precious secret, and he has always kept it in his heart.

Does the port area actually have tunnels leading to the city? ! ... The workers were very surprised when they heard this, and some people immediately expressed their doubts: "Kalmullus, you are lying, we have never heard of this, how is this possible!"

"Just based on your identities, how can you know such an important secret!" Carmilus heard the question, and immediately felt that it was contempt for him by others. Instead, he straightened his chest and retorted proudly: "I risk it. Life is in danger, and this important secret has been acquired—"
