Chapter 90 Brothers

"If the situation is not what I expected, the Carthaginians will resolutely reinforce Sicily again, and the troops led by Prosous are outnumbered, then the seventh legion and even the tenth under Alexis can be The legion was sent to Sicily to strengthen its strength. The Samonais have suffered heavy losses, and their strength is not enough to be feared, and Alexis does not need to keep too many troops." Davos looked around the crowd and said with a serious expression: " Now Dionia is at war with the three forces. Although we can handle it, we cannot evenly distribute our forces. That will only prolong the war and increase the consumption of our national strength. We should take advantage of the opponent's return When there is no strength, concentrate on solving one of them first, in order to alleviate the current situation, so as to free up your hands to solve other enemies!"

Davos paused for a while, and seeing that everyone was in deep thought, he continued: "But who is the target we should concentrate our forces on first? Of course, it can't be Carthage. It has a strong country, a vast territory, and Its wars cannot be over in a short time;

Although the Samonais are now the weakest of the three forces, their homes are also in the mountains. So far we have lured them to fight on the plains and try to avoid fighting in the mountains, because that is what they are good at , we can't completely conquer them without destroying their lair, and the current situation makes us have to be careful not to attack the unfamiliar Samona Mountains for the time being;

In the end, Rome was left—" Davos' hand pointed to the map again: "Although Rome's strength is not weak, its power is mainly concentrated in the northern region of Latium, which is a relatively flat river plain, which is beneficial for us to fight. . The Latium seaside area is mostly flat beaches, while the Roman navy is not strong, which is conducive to the landing of our troops and the transportation of fleet supplies and food. Over the past few decades, Rome has expanded everywhere, and it has a lot of grievances with surrounding forces, which is beneficial for us to unite them and jointly crusade against Rome..."

After Davos finished speaking, the ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs had been persuaded by him, and Hiros immediately stated: "Your Majesty, after we go back, we will start preparing for the expedition to Rome."

"Hurry up!" Davos emphasized his tone and reminded: "We must take advantage of the fact that Rome has not yet eliminated the Helniki people, and their main force is still in the east, and gather the army with a rapid offensive to annihilate them scattered in the west. I will try to eliminate its power within half a year, and bring Rome and its surrounding Latin city-states under the rule of the kingdom... ...Hey, you have to know that after this huge war, there are more than 100,000 soldiers in need of military merit awards, especially those recruits who have not yet acquired fiefs and who have not grown up for a long time. In addition to a part of the unallocated land, there is no remaining land in other areas, so the Latam area..."

Hiros and the others immediately understood what Davos meant. Whether it was for public or private purposes, this strengthened their determination to support Davos's army to march north.

"Your Majesty, the matter of your expedition to the Ladium area is of great importance, and I am afraid that the Senate may not necessarily pass this resolution.

Philisius reminded. Indeed, the last time Davos led his army on an expedition was the battle with the Meshapi-Puchetti coalition ten years ago, which finally conquered the entire kingdom of Dionysus. The Apulia region has laid the foundation for victory. In the past ten years, I am afraid that the elders have become accustomed to Davos sitting in the palace and the senate, and he is now a king with a distinguished status. Taking risks in person will also worry the elders. There is also huge food consumption...

Davos smiled and said indifferently: "So I will convince you first, and I will have a lot of votes in favor."

Hiros, Philisius and the others also laughed. In the Dionysian Senate, the elders from the army did occupy a large proportion.

"Next, I will talk to the five rotating chairmen first. As for the other elders... I don't think they will refuse in the end, because once Rome is conquered, they will provide many chief executives for them. position." Davos was confident in persuading the Senate.

At this time, Thormid asked a question: "Your Majesty, the 3rd Legion defended the Kautinis in Campania and transferred them away, in case Kautini re-entered the Campania League. ,What should I do?"

"Isn't that just right?" Davos replied calmly: "Since Kautini replaced their fighters, there has been no movement. If we can lure them out, we can rest assured. Moreover, at the moment In this situation, we can't just rely on us to protect the Campania Alliance, and it's time for the Campanias to share the difficulties for us."

After discussing for a while about the army’s northward expedition, Hiros and the others said goodbye and left. Next, the military affairs department will be very busy, because they have to mobilize soldiers, assemble various legions, mobilize fleets, raise military rations, etc. A series of complicated affairs need to be done. As soon as possible.

Since Adoris moved out of the King Davos mansion on the grounds that he was "grown up and able to support himself", his room had been empty, but he moved back in these days, not because he missed raising him. Parents, but because he was injured.

During the battle of Venosa, he violated military law. After the war, the serious sub-captain reported his performance to the legion. After seeing it, the commander of the 2nd Legion, Martonis, felt embarrassed. Firth, so he simply asked to see the king and explained the situation.

After listening to Davos, he was very angry and said without hesitation: "Just because he is my child, we can't treat military law as nothing. If you spare him, what will other soldiers think?! It will be strictly enforced. Order, obey your command!"

In fact, Davos just wanted to use this severe punishment to make Adoris firmly remember to obey the command and cooperate closely with his comrades in battle, instead of just killing the enemy and doing some risky actions. , this is also for his safety.

So, Matonis had to announce: According to the military law, Adoris was executed with a stick.

The 20th Soldier's stick was sturdy, causing Adoris's buttocks to tear open, making it difficult to even walk.

After Kristoya heard it, she was so distressed that, regardless of whether Adoris agreed or not, she forced him to move back to the mansion to facilitate care and treatment.

Adoris couldn't beat his adoptive mother, so he had to obediently return to his original residence.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Come in." Seeing that it was Kroto Katax who entered the room, Adoris breathed a sigh of relief, not in a hurry to cover his red and swollen butt with a quilt, and said listlessly: "Kroto, it's you. ah."

"Brother, who do you think you are? Aidui?" Clotokatax said with a sly smile.

"Nonsense! What do you know?!" Adoris glared at him.

"I know a lot." Crotokatax winked narrowly: "You are on good terms with Elder Torrex's daughter, Aidui, and the mother has come forward to talk to Torrex, Your wedding with Aidui is scheduled for April, but it may be delayed until the end of the year. Yesterday, she came to see you specifically, and I think she may be worried that if you are broken, you will not be able to have children with her …”

Back then, Agnes' brother wanted to marry Davos, but Cristoia used her network to keep giving Adoris blind dates, and Adoris took a fancy to Torrex's gentle and beautiful daughter. Torrex used to be the leader of a large tribe in Puchetti, and his family was quite influential in the Puchetti area. After becoming a Dionysian elder, he always seemed to be relatively low-key, whether it was out of winning over the Puchetti people. For the political purpose, they still hope to have a virtuous daughter-in-law. The Davers and his wife are both satisfied, so the marriage is soon settled.

"Damn Kloto!" Adoris pressed his hands on the bed and propped himself up, trying to teach his brother a lesson, but he immediately covered his butt and cried out, "Ouch!"

"Brother, are you all right?" Clotokatax hurried over and asked with concern.

Adoris took the opportunity to grab him, tapped him twice on the head, and taught him a lesson: "Kloto, you're learning badly now, be careful that I go to my mother to sue."

"Brother, I'm afraid of you, can I go now, but you don't want to hear the good news." Saying that, Clotokatax walked out.

"Wait a minute, Cloto! What good news?! My dear brother, for the sake of my injury, tell me, what is the good news?!  …"

Seeing Adoris' pleading eyes, Clotokatax turned back and sat down again, and said with a hint of color: "Brother, my father is going to lead the First Army, Second Army, Third Army, The 4th, 5th, 6th, and 1st and 2nd cavalry corps are going north to the Latinum region to fight against Rome!"

"Really?!" When Adoris heard this, he immediately became excited.

"Of course it's true! This morning, my father's decision has been passed in the Senate, and I believe it won't be long before the army will set off!" Clotokatax said with the same excited expression.

"Great! Finally there is another battle!" Adoris clenched his fists excitedly.

Clotokatax looked at Adoris, who was sitting cautiously beside the bed with his butt half pouted, and couldn't help but reminded: "Brother, I'm afraid your injury is not good when the army sets off."
