Chapter 461 Preparation before the war ([-])

"Lord Cedorum is indeed the most suitable candidate!" Kunogorata and Cornelus' answers this time were much more sincere than before.

After Cedorum arrived in Thurii, he had been idle and rarely spoke actively during Senate meetings, so the Greek senators did not know much about him.But Daves knew a lot about him through the information collected by the intelligence department. He knew that he had united with the Lucania tribal alliance to invade Thurii, and then turned his back on Lucania, which was defeated by Daves. people and burned their camp. He was also the person that Pianlon, the leader of Cosenza, was most afraid of, but he was the first to advocate the establishment of the Bruti Tribal Alliance... so this was also the first time that Davos general The reason why he was idle was that he originally wanted to wait until the Bruti region was completely stabilized before reusing this capable but changeable Bruti leader. Unexpectedly, this war happened.

Baguilipi looked at Sedorum in surprise. He wanted to say: Are some of the methods in the decree you are going to promulgate that treat people of the same clan too harsh? !
Cedorum noticed his expression, but didn't care.A few years ago, these tribal alliances in the Bruti region were fighting with each other. It was only because of the harsh surrounding environment that they were forced to unite.In fact, except for his own tribe, he doesn't care much about other tribes. He is only thinking about how to deal with Bruti's rebellion as soon as possible and show his governance ability to King Davos and the Senate. .

At this time, Luodom walked into the big tent again, with a little panic on his face: "Your Majesty, from the west... a messenger arrived from the west, saying that-" Luodom looked at the other people in the tent, Subconsciously, he continued to move forward, trying to get close to Davos and whisper.

"Ximian? Is it?!" Davos was slightly startled, and immediately said: "A few adults happen to be here. You don't have to hide it, just tell it directly. It seems like what kind of bad news is it?"

"Yes!" Faced with the probing eyes of Kunogolata and others, Rodom swallowed: "The messenger said, 'Two days ago, Laos' army attempted to sneak attack the Lahe Fortress, but was repulsed. Later. As confirmed by Lord Hermon, Arobmas of Laos has announced his separation from the Dionia Alliance and declared war on Dionia!"

"What?! Laos rebelled too?!" Cornelus exclaimed, and the other three people were also a little panicked. It had been raining all night in the past few days, and bad news came one after another.

"Please note that Arobmas betrayed us, but Henipolis will not betray us!" Davos said with unusual certainty, with a cold light in his eyes: "Those who are not loyal to Dionia When people encounter difficulties in Dionia, they jump out one by one and add insult to injury, wasting our care for them over the years! Just in time! Through this war, we will clear them all out!" The words revealed in Davos's words The murderous intent and self-confidence refreshed the four people's spirits.

Kunogorata calmed down and suggested: "Your Majesty, although the consul of Henipolis will not betray us, the more than 1000 Laos soldiers led by him will inevitably not be affected. Should we temporarily pass on the news? Blocking the situation and then making it public again after the situation stabilizes will also be beneficial to the people who have been frightened these days."

Davos nodded, and he heard the meaning of Kunogorata's unsaid words: The people had just responded to the oracle and elected him as king, and in the blink of an eye, Laos rebelled. What would happen to the people who were full of expectations? think?
"You are right! Rodom, you go and take good care of the messenger and don't let him come into contact with other people. When I finish writing the order, you let him return to Lahe Fortress immediately. In addition, you send 20 guards to take over At the checkpoint at the mountain pass, anyone coming from the west should be sent to the military camp first and guarded."

"Yes!" Rodom turned and left.

"Everyone, Arobmas's rebellion is no big deal. With Laos's current strength, he can't break the Lahe Fortress, and attacking the strategically located Vege City will outweigh the gains and losses. Arobmas is like a turtle now, shrinking. In the city, we want to wait for Syracuse to defeat us and then reap the benefits, but this is destined to be just a dream!" Davos looked at the four people, and then solemnly said: "Cedorum, your wartime governor's The appointment is just in time. With the formal appointment letter from the Senate signed by me, you immediately rush to Bruti to remind Salu to be more vigilant about Laos and not to send troops easily. After pacifying the rebels in Bergam, Let Xilos lead the army to attack Laos... I think Bagule and Hermon should have been recruiting soldiers. When the time comes, move in from the north to the south and capture Laos!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." As soon as he heard about the rebellion of Laos, Sedorum was a little concerned but confused, although he knew that due to the Dionia Alliance, Vig and Laos began to have a relationship in recent years. Trade exchanges, but the long-term confrontation makes Vig still wary of Laos. After several years of training, Saru's temperament has become calmer and he should not attack rashly.

After seeing off the two Bruti elders, Davos asked: "Do you have anything else to do here this time?"

Cunogorata and Cornelus exchanged glances.

Kunogorata said seriously: "Your Majesty, you are now the king of Dionia! Therefore, do you have any requirements for the existing power structure and political system of Dionia?"

After Kunogorata finished speaking, Cornelus looked at Davos slightly nervously.

Davos smiled slightly: "I am already worried that I can be supported as king by the people. If there are any additional requirements, I can just operate normally as before."

Davos's words made the two elders sigh in relief.

Davos glanced at the two of them and understood what they and even the entire Senate were thinking. In fact, his previous authority was not much different from that of the de facto king, that is, the highest military power, administrative power, judicial power, and sacrificial power. , now we just have a legal certificate, there is no need to make any major changes.

"But -" he spoke again, making the two of them feel nervous again: "I have become the king. As a symbol of the entire alliance, I will inevitably become the primary target of the alliance's enemies. I hope to improve the respect for my family. vigilance and protection!”

"Your Majesty, the Senate is preparing to discuss "the security protection that the alliance should provide and the rights that you should enjoy after you become the king." I believe there will be a result soon." Kunogolata responded immediately, As the king of a powerful alliance, the treatment and standards he enjoys cannot be too shabby, otherwise it will only make other forces laugh. The Senate has already considered this issue.

"As long as it can ensure the safety of my family, don't make it too complicated, and don't spend too much energy on this." Davos reminded: "Now our focus is still on this damn war!"

"Your Majesty, I heard that you are preparing to have a naval battle with the Syracuseans?" Cornelus asked.

"I was just about to tell you about this." Davos looked at the two of them and said solemnly: "Among the enemies we are currently facing, the one that poses the greatest threat to us is Syracuse. Navy! It attacked our coast. Not only did it destroy farmland, villages and other facilities, kill our people, and create panic, it also forced us to station troops along the way, spreading our troops and making us very passive. At the same time, we moved towards the southern defense line The transportation of baggage grain is also threatened. With more guards, you have to worry about their sneak attacks. I heard that a baggage train was attacked yesterday. Although the enemy was repelled, most of the pack animals of the baggage train were injured. .

In addition, we should pay more attention to Castellon!Although among the allies, Castellon has the closest relationship with us, and high-level officials of the Castellon city-state such as Amycles and Gorchis are also very friendly with us, but under the intentional harassment of the Syracuse Navy, Castellon has Strom has also suffered a lot of losses. If this continues, the people of Castelm may have other ideas..."

Hearing this, Kunogorata and Cornelus' expressions changed drastically. During this period, they ignored Castellon. Its location is too important. Once it rebels, it will block Dionia's territory. Cut off, Dionia will be really in danger by then!

"So, we must repel the Syracuse Navy immediately and cannot delay it any longer!" Davos said firmly.

"But... but Syracuse's navy is too powerful. Compared with their warships, our warships..." Cornelus stammered with worry on his face.

Davos laughed, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "The reason why I asked Sekerian to prepare secretly was for this battle! Tomorrow will be the day when the Syracuse Navy will cry bitterly!"

Davos's confidence strongly infected the two of them, and Kunogolata also cheered up. He immediately replied: "Your Majesty, is there anything we need to prepare? The Senate will definitely do its best for this naval battle. go!"

"it is good!!"

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

"Madam, the master has already returned to Turii, why don't you even come back for a visit?! Just ask Henipolis to come and report..." Azuna helped Christoya for a walk in the backyard garden. He said slightly complaining.

Kristoya looked calm and said softly: "He is the commander-in-chief of the army and the protector of the entire alliance. Now that the enemy is facing the enemy, he has just become the king, and his responsibilities are even greater. Of course, he must do everything for the soldiers and the people. What a good example! He is probably thinking hard about how to defeat the enemy now. We just want to know that he is safe and sound, are you right, Sister Agnes?"

Agnes, who was also walking, caressed her bulging belly. Although she felt a little disappointed, she still said considerately: "You are right, sister. We should not be an obstacle to Davos!"
