Chapter 423 Davers' North Strategy
Having said this, Davos calmed down and listened carefully. It seemed that the sounds outside were much quieter. He felt at ease and yawned: "It seems that the battle is over. You all go to sleep."

Tormid and Rodom said their goodbyes and left.

"Amintas has this strong desire to fight, and we have to try our best to keep him until the game against Syracuse..." Davers fell asleep while murmuring.

....................................

Early the next morning, Puamote and Polet came to visit Davos.

After a friendly conversation, the two left satisfied.

And Davos also looked happy, and quickly called Alexis, the commander of the Third Army, and said to him: "Just now, the leader of Potentia came to me and took the initiative to transfer the city of Poseidonia. Leave it to Dionia."

"This is really great!" Alexis said excitedly.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that he would make such a decision so decisively. Although many Lucanians despise Puamote, saying that he is neither as brave as Akpiru nor as smart as Xinsinaga. , is a coward who only stays at home and sleeps with his wife. But the power of those two people has perished, but Potentia will always exist! Those who can understand the general trend and adapt to the general trend are the ones who truly have great power. A wise man will cut off Puamot whenever he wants, and let go of it whenever he can. That's amazing!" Davos sighed with emotion.

He turned back to look at Alexis and continued: "I called you here today because I have an important task for you to do."

When Alexis heard this, he immediately sat up straight.

"Although the Samnites were defeated, there were still nearly 2 defeated troops who fled in all directions. According to the investigation of the mountain reconnaissance team, except for three larger groups that were retreating to the north, other defeated troops were scattered in Poten. The mountains around Tia are plagued by hunger and disease. But their presence has also hindered the plans of the Potentia tribes to return to their settlements. I decided to leave the third legion behind and station it here to clear out these tribes. Samnai's troops are defeated, and Pollet will lead the Potentian warriors to cooperate with you."

As soon as Davos finished speaking, Alexis said eagerly: "My lord, now that the war with Samona is over, and the Syracuse army is attacking our Magna Graecia, we should return to Turi immediately. Yi, concentrate your forces to deal with the Syracuse people."

"You don't have to worry about Syracuse. I have my own arrangements. To be honest with you, I have always felt that the Samnites will be a troublesome opponent for our alliance to expand northward in the future. But I didn't expect that this time they actually Gather a large number of troops, take the initiative to leave the mountains they are familiar with, and attack Lucania in a large scale. Under the protection of Hades, the Samnites suffered a disastrous defeat, but our losses were not large. Facing the injured beast, we must do What we have to do is seize this opportunity and kill it while it is weak, rather than letting it go and wait for it to recover and come back to cause us trouble.

Therefore, the Third Army must try its best to eliminate and capture the Samnites stranded here without allowing them to escape back to the north.While completing this task, you can make a tentative attack into the Samonai Mountains to see if there are any further gains.But be careful not to expand the scale of the war and usher in new enemies!You have to understand that Dionia's current situation cannot support fighting on both sides! "Davos warned solemnly.

"I understand, and I will try my best to expand our results!" Alexis became excited after understanding Davos's intentions. After all, being able to independently lead the army to conquer an area is the biggest achievement for any general. Pursue.

"I also found a capable helper for you." Davos said, shouting outside the house: "Martius, let him come in."

Alexis looked at the door curiously and saw a thin, lean young man coming in.

"Supreme Commander." The young man gave a standard military salute.

"Printors, captain of the reconnaissance group, the mastermind behind the defeat of the Samnite camp!" After returning the military salute, Davos looked at him and couldn't help but admire: "Amazing! Really amazing! This victory you created saved time for Dionia, allowing us to concentrate on dealing with Syracuse! On behalf of the people of Dionia, I thank you, your name will be forever remembered in the Hall of Valor!"

Plintors was both excited and a little embarrassed to be praised by Davos, and said humbly: "My lord, this is all given to me by the plan you made last time to capture the city of Asprostum. Inspired!”

Win without being arrogant!Davos nodded, becoming more and more satisfied with this young man: "I will transfer two companies from the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, a total of 400 people, and put them under your command to assist the Third Army and Potentia's army in hunting down Samo. Can you defeat the enemy and invade the neighboring Samnite territory?"

"I can!" Printors replied confidently.

Davos nodded calmly, turned to the commander of the Third Army and said, "Alexis, are you satisfied with the assistant I sent you?"

"I couldn't be more satisfied!" Alexis said with a smile: "But it also makes me more stressed. With such a heroic support, if I don't have a decent record, I will be embarrassed to return to Thurii."

"As long as you understand this." Davers also smiled and continued: "I hope you will win Copsa if possible."

Copsa?Alexis heard this term for the first time.

"That's the town in Samone closest to Potentia, about 40 miles away from here." Printors said to Alexis. As a scout, he stayed here for nearly a day and said: You will understand the surrounding environment.

"This is an expectation of the leader of Potentia! If Copsa is captured, Potentia will be completely under the protection of Dionia, and will no longer worry about the Samonite invasion..." Dave Si explains further.In the morning, when Puamote made this request to him, Davos understood that Pochengtia had made up his mind to completely rely on the Dionysian Alliance.

"Of course you have to do what you can and don't force it. The battle in the south of the alliance will be fierce next, and supplies will definitely be very tight. You must pay special attention to this issue and don't trigger another major war in the north!" Davers once again This sentence is emphasized.

Alexis and Printors looked at each other and immediately expressed their understanding.

"One more thing... Puamote hopes to build a road to strengthen the connection with our Lucania territory. This is a good thing. I have agreed and am ready to let Bagule take over this matter. Let Alexis serve as an assistant." Seeing that Alexis wanted to speak, Davos waved his hand and said: "After all, you have served as a construction officer and are very familiar with road construction. At the same time, you have a good relationship with Bagule. I believe you can The cooperation is very good. Now there are tens of thousands of Samnite captives as ready-made labor, but be sure not to exhaust them to death. I will still have great use for these captives in the future."

"I accept this task." Alexis said helplessly.

Seeing that he answered reluctantly, Davers had to remind: "Building this road will not only strengthen the connection with Potentia, but also facilitate the expansion of our Dionia to the central Apennines in the future, so building the road It is equally important as hunting down the broken Samnite troops and does not conflict with it.”

"Sir, I understand, and I will do my best to help Bagule and the others repair this road!"

....................................

Early that same morning Sesta was on his way to the Senate.

The outbreak of this war still had a great impact on the city of Turiyi. Most of the first and second legions were citizens of Turiyi.Then two new legions were formed, mainly composed of Turiyi citizens. They trained every day at the military port on the Krati River east of Turiyi City, so there were almost no young and strong men in the city.Out of concern for their loved ones, the elderly and women spend less time in the square and spend more time at home or praying in temples.

Cesta looked at the empty Victory Square and felt a little sad.

"Master Sesta!" There was a shout behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was the elder from Bruti—Bajilipi.

"With Sir Sesta as my companion, I don't feel scared anymore even if I arrive late." Baguilipi said half-jokingly and half-seriously. He was small and wearing a white Bolton robe with black trim that represented his status as a senator. , like a thin bamboo pole hanging a large cloth robe, so he tried his best to use both hands to hold the hanging corners of the clothes, looking quite funny.

But Sesta did not laugh. As the censor, he had the function of supervising the performance of the senators during the Senate meetings. Now because of the treason case of Polluxes and other senators, the senators, at the initiative of Davos, even more The Ombudsman had great power to oversee the criminal conduct of senatorial and union public officials.

Because of the heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, Sesta has always led by example, but he did not expect to be late for the first time today. He couldn't help but explain: "Last night, I was busy sorting out information on supervising elections in various cities and establishing local councils, so that I can do it today." I made a report to everyone at the meeting, but I was busy until late at night, so I got up late today.”

"Under the current situation where the Syracuse army is suppressing the border, will the election of the local council still be held?! You must know that yesterday I heard the news that the Southern Italian coalition forces were going to fight the Syracuse people in the Xiliting. Can't sleep!" Bajilipi said anxiously, after all, the Fifth Army is almost composed of Bruti citizens, and the Bruti region is at the forefront of the war, once the battle fails, the impact on the Bruti people will be greater than that of the alliance. Citizens of other cities in the city are larger.
