Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Father, you are not in good health now, the doctor will not let you go out! You have to believe that Titus can handle this matter well!..." Lucius held his father and eagerly persuaded him.

When the two were arguing, Titus came in.

Lucius just saw him and asked in amazement: "Titus, how come you come back so soon?! Things in the camp have subsided?!"

Lucius said, looking straight to him.

Titus apparently didn't feel the truth. He looked tired and looked at Camillas on the couch with eagerness. He said eagerly: "The dictator, I heard that you woke up, I immediately rushed. Wo The envoys of Erqi and Tarchuna came. They said that Kasera and Vicent had fallen and asked to withdraw their troops to protect their city-states from being violated by the Dionynes-"

"If it is true that these messengers say that Keslera and Vienne are occupied by the Diaonians, how did they get to the camp? Titus you confirm that they are really the messengers of Walch and Tarchuna. ??" Lucius immediately questioned.

"We all know the people who come here, Walsh's governor Mesara and Taljuna's veteran Kao Da, who took the boat to Adi, then landed and rushed over. According to them, Dionia The warships did not intercept them."

Titus replied with resentment: "As soon as they arrived at the camp, they publicized the city of Kesera and the loss of love. The camp that was originally restless was completely confused, not only the Etruscan army was leaving, The colonial city soldiers on the north bank of the Tiber River are leaving, and some of the Latin allies’ troops are also demanding to leave! Now, Quentus, with their troops, is blocking several battalions, and the Etruscans claim, 'Don’t leave them again. They are going to be hard! 'There have been small-scale conflicts between the two sides, so I came over and asked you!"

"This is a conspiracy of the Dionys!" Lucius yelled angrily: "Damn Etruscans! Damn Latin city-state! And those Roman civilians who should be crucified!... ”

At this moment, Camillas calmed down, and he sighed with a faint sigh: "Austria's fire...burned the hope of the soldiers fighting, Kasera...and the disintegration of Wei's love Our army...the king of Dionia...oh..."

Camillaus suddenly did not speak, he lay quietly, his eyes closed slightly.

"father!"

"The dictator is an adult!" the two shouted with concern.

For a moment, Camillaus asked: "Titus... Have you asked them, even... the Etruscan army has left us...but how are they going back?"

Titus immediately replied: "Ask. They said that they would cross the river from the upper Tiber River and immediately enter the mountains to bypass the love. The mountain is still the area controlled by the Etruscans. It is relatively safe. ......"

Camillas nodded slightly and looked unchanged. He said intermittently: "From the current situation... it is no longer possible to retain them... otherwise... it will only trigger a civil war in the camp.........no matter who wins Defeat... It will only be the Dionyns, and we...and the friendly relations between Etruscan...the colonial city...and even the Latin allies...will be completely destroyed... If this is the case... let them leave them..."

"The dictator!" Titus said eagerly: "Since we returned from Herniki, we have fought with the Dionyns to the present, plus the civilian soldiers who fled, we have lost nearly 30,000 people! If Etruscans, colonial citizens, and Latin allied forces are left, we are afraid that there will be less than 15,000 soldiers left, not only to be able to recapture Rome, but also to be attacked by the Diaonians!"

"Titus!" Camilles shouted hard, then blamed himself: "I made a big mistake before... I heard that Rome was lost, I hate to take it back immediately... So...the army will suffer so many casualties...get into such a big trouble...this is my fault..."

"No, the dictator, the rapid recapture of the city of Rome is not your own idea, is the eager hope of our soldiers!" Titus is not just comforting him, because it is also true.

"Now we all know... quickly regaining Rome is a thing... an impossible thing to do..." Camilles sighed and coughed a few times, revealing a painful color: "attacking an Oss Tia... It’s so hard... So, when it’s really attacking Rome... what will happen?!”

Titus and Lucius could not refute because it was a fact, so they kept silent.

At this point, Camillas opened his eyes and his eyes sparkled: "Titus, remember how we defeated the Celtics in the first place?!... We attacked a branch of the Celtics. The grain squad... attacked the looting forces they sent out to attack other villages... one victory after another... let the Latins who were poisoned by the Celtics... Etruscans... Sabin people Join us... The team is getting bigger and bigger like a snowball... And the Celtics are forced to be in the city of Rome... I dare not go out of town......... Then I was afraid to fight against us... I can only choose Retreat... but in the end we are chased and defeated!"

The voice of Camillaus has gradually become more and more powerful: "That war... I remember that it lasted for more than half a year, and then against the powerful Deonians, we... we should also adopt such a strategy. Only by persisting in long-term battles with the Dionys... can we finally win!"

Titus listened to some heartbeat, but he felt a little bit uneasy: "Dyonia people don't just know **** and rob the Celtic, they are more deceitful than Celtic!"

"But... the Celtics didn't have Carthage... a powerful enemy like Samona!" Camilles responded with confidence.

Titus was convinced, and he immediately said, "I will immediately convey your meaning to Quantus..."

Although Quintus clearly opposed Camillaus’s decision, the Roman generals finally reached an agreement: the Etruscan army was allowed to leave, but they were to accompany the colonial soldiers and ensure their safety. Send it home.

After the troops left, the officials generously allowed the Latin allies to return to their respective city-states. These Latin allied generals did not leave as hurriedly as the Etruscans, but rushed to the big accounts. Sincerely stated to Camillaus: As long as he has a call, their city-states are willing to continue fighting with Rome and drive away the aliens of Diaonia!

Looking at the troops that fought side by side, one after another, they had a great impact on the Roman soldiers who remained in the camp. They inevitably panic, and the officials worked hard to reluctantly It calmed the chaos in the camp.

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

About 13,000 coalition forces composed of Etruscan and Roman colonies marched eastward and arrived in the Tstronon area in the evening. After a one-night rest in the camp, they arrived in the second day of the afternoon and passed the pontoon. Crossed the Tiber River.

Just as they left the river bank and prepared to go further into the mountains to the east, they found that the soldiers of the Dionyrians were already in front of them, blocking their way, and the panicked coalition soldiers had to prepare for the desperate struggle.

Just as the two armies were about to approach, the Etruscan army in the cities of Walch and Tarchuna suddenly turned the shield spear and launched an attack on the wing of the Roman colonial city soldiers.

The Roman soldiers did not expect the allies to betrayed suddenly, without any precautions, and suddenly fell into chaos.

The Dionysian army slammed from the front and the coalition forces quickly collapsed.

Most of the Roman colonial soldiers were captured except for a few who escaped from the Tiber River and hid in the city of Loudi. Other Etruscan city-state soldiers also surrendered, and the Dionysian army won almost no loss.

It turned out that Printos led the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade to attack the city of Kesera in the night, but a few Kasera people fled to the adjacent city of Tarcuna.

The Tarcuna people were shocked. The Dayians were in Los Angeles for a night. Their powerful force made them feel fearful. Now, Tarcuna, who lacks young and middle-aged citizens, is obviously unable to resist the continued attack of the Dionyrian army. Therefore, Taljuna sent an urgent notice to the neighboring Etruscan city state Walch, and sent messengers to go to Kasera to find out.

After winning the Kesera, Printoles immediately sent people back to Rome to report the victory to Daves.

Dafoss was overjoyed and immediately dispatched two brigades of the Third Army to Kasera, in accordance with prior planning.

When the Taljuna messenger rushed to the city of Kes Relai, Printors was busy turning around. He not only had to quickly settle the order in the city, but also had to deal with the complicated affairs of the port in time, because King Davers emphasized repeatedly: In addition to the arrest of the ships of the city of Kasraela and Carthage, do not rob and infringe the merchant ships of other city-states.

For the arrival of the Taljuna messenger, Printors only told him: there are any proposals and requirements to go to Rome to talk to the King.

The Taljuna messengers saw the Dionyrian generals who occupied the city of Kasera, without any swear words, even threatened with force, and relaxed a little in their hearts, so they really rushed to Rome.

Not long after, Walch's messenger also arrived.

Daves received them very friendly and expressed his willingness to join the Etruscan city-state with the Etruscan city-state to fight against the Romans.
