Chapter 744 Brothers
"If the situation is not what I expected, and the Carthaginians decisively reinforce Sicily again, and the troops led by Proseus are outnumbered, then the Seventh Army and even the Tenth Army under Alexis can be The legion was sent to Sicily to strengthen the strength there. The Samnites suffered heavy losses, and their strength is no longer fearful. Alexis does not need to retain too many troops." Davos looked around the crowd and said seriously: " Dionia is now at war with three forces. Although we can all cope with it, we cannot distribute our troops evenly. This will only lead to the continued prolongation of the war and increase the consumption of our national power. We should take advantage of our opponents while they are still there. When there is no force to be exerted, only by concentrating our forces to deal with one of them can we ease the current situation and free up our hands to deal with other enemies!"

Davers paused for a while, seeing that everyone was lost in thought, he continued: "But who should we concentrate our forces to destroy first? Of course it can't be Carthage. It has a strong national power, a vast territory, and Its war cannot be ended in a short time;

Although the Samonites 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 tried to avoid fighting in the mountains, because that is what they are good at. , we cannot completely conquer them without destroying their lair, and the current situation requires us to be cautious and not attack the Samnai Mountains that we are not familiar with for the time being;
In the end, only Rome is left -" Davos' hand pointed to the map again: "Although Rome's strength is not weak, its power is mainly concentrated in the northern area of ​​Latium, which is a relatively flat river plain, which is conducive to our combat. .The coastal areas of Latium are mostly flat beaches, and 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 in all directions and has developed many grievances with surrounding forces. It is conducive for us to unite with them and jointly attack Rome..."

After Davos finished speaking, the ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs had been convinced by him, and Hilos immediately expressed his position: "Your Majesty, after we return, we will start preparing for the expedition to Rome."

"Move quickly!" Davos emphasized his tone and reminded: "We must take advantage of the fact that Rome has not yet wiped out the Herniki, and its main force is still in the east. We must gather the army and use a rapid offensive to annihilate them scattered in the west. I will use the force in front of me to capture its Latin allies, weaken its power, and finally attack Rome directly to fight a decisive battle with it! I strive to eliminate its power within half a year and bring Rome and the surrounding Latin city-states under the rule of the kingdom... ...Hey, you have to know that after such a huge war, there are more than 10 soldiers in need of military merit awards, especially those recruits who have not yet reached adulthood and have not yet obtained fiefdoms. But now in the kingdom, in addition to the Daoni area, there are also Except for some unallocated land, there is no remaining land in other areas, so the Latium area..."

Hilos and the others immediately understood what Davos meant, whether it was public or private, which strengthened their determination to support Davos in leading his army to the north.

"Your Majesty, your expedition to the Latium region is of great importance. I am afraid that the Senate may not pass this resolution." Felicius reminded.Indeed, the last time Davos led an army was the battle with the Meshapi-Pucetti coalition ten years ago, which laid the foundation for the Kingdom of Dionia to finally conquer the entire Apulian region. Ten years later, I am afraid that the senators have become accustomed to Davos sitting in the palace and the Senate, and now that he is a king and has a distinguished status, his personal adventures will also make the senators worried, and there is also a huge consumption of food... …

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

Hilos and Felicius also laughed.In the Dionysian Senate, senators from the military do account for a large proportion.

"Next, I will talk to the five rotating presidents first. As for the other senators... I think they will not refuse in the end, because once Rome is conquered, they will be provided with a lot of administrative services for their leisure time. Position." Davos was very confident in convincing the Senate.

At this time, Tormid raised a question: "Your Majesty, the Third Army was defending the Cavutini in Campania and transferred it away in case the Cavutini entered the Campania League again. ,what to do?"

"Isn't that just right?" Davos replied calmly: "Since Cavutini replaced their warriors, there has been no movement. If we can lure them out, it can also reassure us. Moreover, now In this situation, we cannot rely on us alone to protect the Campania Alliance, it is time to let the Campanians share the difficulties for us."

After discussing the matter of the army's northern expedition for a while, Xilos and the others said goodbye and left. The Ministry of Military Affairs will be extremely busy next, because they have to mobilize soldiers, assemble various legions, mobilize fleets, raise military rations... and a series of complicated matters. As soon as possible.

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

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

In the battle of Venosa, he violated the military law.After the war, the serious sub-captain reported his performance to the Legion. Matonis, the head of the Second Legion, felt embarrassed after reading it. Firth, so he simply asked to see the king and explained the situation.

Daves was very angry after hearing this, and said without hesitation: "Just because he is my child, you can't ignore the military law. If you spare him, what will other soldiers think?! It will be strictly enforced." Order, obey your command!"

In fact, Davos wanted to use this severe punishment to make Adoris remember that he must obey orders and cooperate closely with his comrades in battle, instead of just killing enemies and taking risky actions. , this is also for his safety.

Therefore, Matonis had to announce that Adoris would be executed with a stick in accordance with military law.

Twenty army sticks were struck down hard, leaving Adoris' buttocks torn and bruised, making it difficult to even walk.

After hearing this, Kristoya felt extremely distressed. Regardless of whether Adoris agreed or not, she forced him to move back to the mansion to facilitate care and treatment.

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

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Come in." Seeing that it was Croto Kataks who entered the room, Adoris breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't rush to cover his red and swollen buttocks with a quilt, and said listlessly: "Clotho, 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 blinked narrowly: "You are getting along with Aidui, the daughter of Senator Torex, and your mother has already come forward to negotiate with Torex. The marriage between you and Aidui has been scheduled until April, but now it may be postponed to the end of the year. Yesterday, she came over specifically to see you. I think she may be worried that if you are damaged, you will not be able to have a child with her. …”

I think back then, Agnes's brother wanted to marry Davos, but Christoya used her network to keep dating Adoris. As a result, Adoris fell in love with Thorex's gentle and beautiful girl. daughter.Torrex was once the leader of a large tribe in Puchetti, and his family was quite influential in the Puchetti area. After becoming a senator of Dionia, he has always seemed relatively low-key, whether it was to win over the Puchetti people. The political purpose was still to have a virtuous daughter-in-law. The Davers were quite satisfied, so the marriage was quickly settled.

"Damn Clotho!" Adoris pressed his hands on the bed and stood up, wanting to teach his brother a lesson. Unexpectedly, he immediately covered his buttocks and shouted "Ouch, ouch".

"Brother, are you okay?" Crotokatax hurriedly approached and asked with concern.

Adoris took the opportunity to catch him, tapped him twice on the head, and said a lesson: "Clato, you have learned bad things now, be careful I will complain to my mother."

"Brother, I'm afraid of you. Can't I leave now? But you don't want to hear the good news." With that, Clotokatax walked out.

"Wait a minute, Clotto! What good news?! My dear brother, for the sake of my injury, please tell me, what good news is it?!..."

Seeing the pleading eyes of Adoris, Clotokatax turned around and sat down again, and said with a little color: "Brother, father is going to personally lead the first legion, the second legion, the third legion, The Fourth Legion, the Fifth Legion, the Sixth Legion, and the huge army composed of the First and Second Cavalry Legions will go north to the Latium region and fight Rome!"

"Really?!" Adoris immediately became excited upon hearing this.

"Of course it's true! This morning, my father's decision was approved by the Senate. I believe the army will set off soon!" Clotokatax said with the same excitement.

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

Clotokatax looked at Adoris, who was sitting carefully on the edge of the bed with his butt half stuck out, and couldn't help but remind him: "Brother, I'm afraid your injury will not be healed when the army sets off."
