Chapter 825 Reinforcement of Ostia
"Whether what I said is true or not, you can find out by yourself in the future when you become a citizen of Dionia." Davos said noncommittally, and then asked: "What important things do you want to do when you come here?" tell me?"

Sextus was still thinking about what Davos had said before. He was silent for a while, but Davos' calm gaze made him feel great pressure. He said reluctantly: " This morning, when we set off from Pliniste, there were more than 6 troops. But when we were building a camp outside Rome, I found that the number of soldiers was much smaller... At least 2 people quietly left Camp." Sextus said while observing Davos' expression.

Davos was stunned, and immediately turned countless thoughts in his mind, and then he said casually: "It turns out that Camillus used the peace talks to confuse me, but secretly sent troops to attack Ostia, but his little brother Looking at the current Ostia, it is very difficult to capture it in a short period of time with only more than 2 people! I believe that by tomorrow, I will receive news that the defenders of Ostia have repelled the attack of the Roman army!"

Davos finished speaking confidently, and comforted Sextus, who looked a little lost: "Anyway, thank you very much for your reminder! As a Roman civilian, being able to serve as a squadron leader shows that you have excellent military capabilities. Have you applied to become a citizen of Dionia?"

"...I have applied." Sextus said softly. In fact, when the official from the Household Registration Department asked him, he was still hesitant, but under his father's strong request, he finally agreed. .

"Very good!" Davos looked at him approvingly, and said loudly: "Now, I have decided to appoint you as the captain, responsible for organizing the civilians in Rome, setting up a reserve team, ready to go into battle at any time. When Latin America is pacified in the future Tom, a new Dionysian Legion has been formed, and if you have made enough achievements, you will be a strong contender for the head of this legion, are you willing to accept this appointment?"

After all, Sextus is a young man. Young people are passionate and heroic, and it is their nature to yearn for success. Although he has been in a depressed mood since entering the city of Rome, he is also affected by the appointment of Davos and the pie that will be drawn in the future. Attraction, there is no more hesitation: "I do!"

"Martius." Davos turned to his guard captain and said: "In a moment, you personally take Sextus to Tormid, tell him my appointment of Sextus, and tell him Put him in charge of helping Sextus organize the Roman reserves."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Sextus." Davos asked again pleasantly: "I think there are definitely not a few civilian-born soldiers in the Roman army outside the city, but why are you the only one who escaped the camp?"

This time Sextus took a more serious attitude when answering the question: "Because the Roman army has strict regulations on building camps, legions must be separated from each other, and it is forbidden to walk around at night when they are resting...

While the soldiers were having dinner, I quietly told the civilian soldiers of our legion about the changes in the city of Rome, but I was unable to pass the news to other legions. Some of the civilian soldiers who got the news did not follow us. Leave together, but I am sure the news will have spread throughout the army by tomorrow due to the confusion we have caused in camp this evening. "

Davos nodded quietly and said with concern: "Sextus, thank you very much for coming here to remind us that although we are already prepared, this is still a great achievement! And before you led The civilian soldiers who broke out of the camp and escaped back to the city of Rome had already made a meritorious service. According to the provisions of our "Dionysian Military Law", the kingdom must reward the soldiers who made meritorious service with more land and other materials.

You have worked hard all day today, so you must be very tired. Go home and reunite with your family and have a good sleep.Tomorrow, I will call the entire city to gather in the square and personally award you with rewards. I will also announce your appointment at the same time, which will make it easier for you to carry out your next mission.Oh, by the way, there is also a house. Your merits deserve a big mansion. "

Sextus said hurriedly: "I heard from my father that our family has moved to a big mansion."

"Oh." Davos said with a smile: "Then can you find your home tonight? If not, you will live in the military camp of the First Army tonight, and you will attend the square rally nearby tomorrow, and you will bring rewards and Your family will be happier with the appointment home.”

"Your Majesty... I know where home is, I can find it!" Sextus was a little incoherent.

He hurriedly walked out of the Senate House, stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and took a deep breath.In his original imagination, the king of Dionia must be a man with a majestic appearance and domineering behavior, but he did not expect that he was so amiable and caring and enthusiastic about himself, so that he originally wanted to question Dionia. He even argued about the self-defeating mentality of being imprisoned, but in the end he almost imitated others and said the honorific title of the king, which made him feel ashamed and a little confused.

He turned his head and looked at the Senate House under the dark sky. In the flickering candlelight, he used to feel that the sacred and insurmountable gate was so dilapidated.

After a long time, he moved his legs and walked forward, walking faster and faster...

"Father, isn't it too risky for you to ask the Roman soldiers who have just escaped back to the city to take up arms again and form a reserve team?" Clotocactus, who had been listening quietly just now, waited for Sextus to leave. , asked worriedly.

"It's good that you have such vigilance!" Davos first praised his son, and then explained patiently: "As I said to Asistes before, the Roman reserve team of only more than 1000 people Even if they all really rebelled, it would not cause any disturbance to the city of Rome, which is guarded by more than 4 legion troops. On the contrary, bringing them together for training makes it easier for us to supervise them. At the same time, we also Taking the opportunity to show our magnanimity to the Romans, using them with confidence and boldness can help these civilians eliminate their hesitations. In addition, there is - Herni!"

Davos suddenly remembered something: "Write it down and inform Asistes tomorrow morning. When the meeting is held in the square, bring the family members of the Roman nobles over. Not only will we reward Sextus, but we will also Land and homes must also be allocated to those Roman civilians who escaped and applied for Dionysian citizenship.”

"Your Majesty, this method is great!" Henipolis couldn't help but praise: "It can not only make more Roman civilians in the city affected by this and join us in Dionia, but also make people who have already joined Dionia The Roman commoners were forced to be more loyal to the kingdom amid the hatred of the noble families!"

Davos looked at the thoughtful Clotho Katax and asked: "Clato, what do we need to do most now?"

Clotokatax thought for a moment and replied: "...Reinforce Ostia?"

"That's right! Camillus sent an army to attack Ostia secretly. He must have realized the importance of Ostia to us. Now that the Roman army is facing difficulties, he will definitely attack Ostia with all his strength. Although In the past two days, Theris has sent people to report to me that he has been strengthening the defense of Ostia, but the walls of Ostia are not high enough to help the soldiers defending the city, and Ostia There are only three reserve brigades from Thurii in the city, and these soldiers, like Tellis, lack real combat experience, so I am a little worried!"

Davos paced back and forth slightly worriedly, and soon he stopped: "Clotho, you rush to the Fifth Army camp immediately, and let Commander Geogris lead the five brigades to the other side of the Shii Bridge quickly. Take a boat from the pier and rush to Ostia overnight to reinforce Tellis! The remaining troops of the Fifth Army are temporarily under the command of Olivers, the commander of the Fourth Army."

Crotokatax did not accept the order immediately. He hesitated for a moment and suddenly said loudly: "Father, I request to follow the Fifth Legion to Ostia and participate in the battle!"

Davos was stunned.

"You can also participate in the battle here, there is no need to go to Ostia." Henipolis advised from the side.

Clotokatax didn't speak, but straightened his chest straighter, looking directly at his father with a resolute expression.

Davos felt the eager desire from his piercing eyes. He pondered for a moment and said, "You can go, but you must promise me one thing."

"As long as you let me go, I can agree to anything!" Clotokatax answered immediately with a happy face.

"You must obey the orders of Ostia Administrator Tellis and Legion Commander Georgris, and you are not allowed to do anything without authorization! Can you do it?"

"can!"

"Then take 50 palace guards with you."

"Thank you, father!" Clotokatax excitedly gave Davos a strong hug, and then quickly walked out of the Senate.

"Your Majesty, I think it is still a bit dangerous for His Highness Clotho to go to Ostia alone!" Henipolis advised worriedly.

Davos stared blankly at the exit of the venue and sighed softly: "If the young eagle is always under the care of its parents, it will never learn to fly. It is rare that he is willing to take risks, so let him go. !”

That night, the big tent in the Roman camp was also brightly lit with candles, and the dictator Camillus was having tense discussions with his generals.
