Ansitanos said his inference without hesitation: "Maybe in their eyes, Diaonia's chances of winning are not great. In fact, Carthage does not pay much attention to us in Diaonia. Nothing even met me..."
Daves did not think that Carthage, who could compete with Rome in the past history, would be so embarrassed, but I think that when Carthage and Rome competed for hegemony, it was already a hundred years later. The development of Carthage in a hundred years is not natural at this time. It can be compared. Thinking of Carthage (mainly Hannibal's influence) that made him feel good in his previous life, he actually looked down on Dionia and made him feel depressed. He said in his heart: "One day, you will regret having been to Dionia. The sorrow!"
"Anseantas, do you think that the Samonet invasion of Potentia was inspired by Dionysius?" Daves wanted to confirm his judgment again.
"I heard about this news when I came back." Ansitanos took a sip of water and said with a deep sigh: "Well... I think it is very possible. I want to know that Syracuse and Campania are in Dillon. The times are closely related, and trade between the two sides is frequent. Syracuse has also sent troops several times to help the Greek city-states of Campania to defend the attack of the Samonais. It is said that most of the mercenaries of Dionysius come from Campani. Ya, so Dionysius should be familiar with the Samonais in the Campania mountains, as long as he is willing to pay the price, it is not impossible to say that the Samonais are not. And, the Samonais may have been I am worried about the strength of Dionia."
Retained by Anthanos, Daves suddenly remembered that since Potentia joined the Dionysian League, the Samonai’s invasion of Lucania has never happened again, apparently to Dionys. Asia is very taboo...
Davers regrets that he has been striving to stabilize the country in the past few years and has invested too little energy in the surrounding situation and the situation in the entire Mediterranean.
This is a lesson! He warned himself in his heart, and then humbly asked Ansitanos: "Do you think where Dionysius might make a conspiracy like the Samonet to Dionya?"
Ancitanus heard the words, stroking the white beard and began to sink. For a long time, he suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Talantum! Tarantum is very likely!"
Daves Horan was shocked: Yes, Tarantum is very likely! Although Syracuse has very little contact with Tarantum, Syracuse’s ally Sparta is the mother state of Tarantum. The relationship between the two sides is good and it is very likely that they will be drawn from it...and in recent years Onya took Heraclea and Meta Phutum from Tarantum, (many Tarantum think so) and the relationship became a bit stiff. Despite the alliance agreement, there are some minor frictions from time to time. This time since Deonia declared war on Locke, Tarantum, as an ally, did not support or oppose it as it used to. There was no movement, it was too calm, it was not normal!
.................................
The next day, the Dionysian Senate immediately sent a messenger to Tarantum at the request of Daves.
The Talanti's Senate asked the Ethiopian messengers for their opinion on "declaring war on Locke" and showed an extremely impatient attitude. They said that Dionia and anyone who fights have nothing to do with Tarantum. Tarantum needs to recuperate to restore the trauma of the last war.
The messenger returned to Turui and reported the attitude of Tarantum to the Senate in detail. Most of the veterans were relieved, but Daves still did not relax his vigilance. He sent people to remind Meta Pontum and Herak. Leah’s consuls raised their defenses against Tarantum, while Aristilas stepped up his attention to Tarantum... All he could do was there, after all, Tarantum did not have any Abnormal behavior.
At this time, Davers put more thoughts on the northern Lucania area.
The next day, the third army’s urgent report was sent to Turui.
Compared with the spies of Potentia, the reconnaissance soldiers of the Third Legion were much more powerful. They were all strictly trained in the investigation team of Izam. Under the point of Daves, Izzam combined with his own investigation and combat experience over the past few years to find a more complete method of reconnaissance training, mountain climbing, ambush, camouflage, reconnaissance, etc. Projects, especially in judging the enemy's strength, there are many ways to detect the brigade. For example, according to the size of the enemy camp, the number of tents, and the weight of the enemy, the most direct way is to count the number of people, so most of the reconnaissance brigades Soldiers come from industries where citizens have strong computing skills, such as bookkeeping, banking, and trade.
In the military reforms of the previous year, Davers mobilized personnel from the investigation team of Izam and equipped the legions with a 100-person reconnaissance squad, thus making the "eyes and ears" of the corps more complete. After all, Italy is mountainous. In the area, the detective ride is often not useful.
The description of the Samonets in this military newspaper of the Third Legion is much more detailed: ... the intelligence of the comprehensive investigation of the soldiers, the Samonai army gathered in Copsa may be by the entire Sempini, Pentene and Part of the Kautini warriors, the current strength has reached more than 40,000, in view of the fact that the Samonai camp will not continue to expand in the past few days, while the Samonai who entered the city of Kopsa in the north is significantly reduced, it is very likely The Monet's offense is in these two or three days! The situation is urgent, and the Third Army demands the exercise of “emergency command” (that is, in a state of emergency, the situation is complex and changing rapidly. Every major military operation must repeatedly request the words of the Dionysian Senate, which will only delay the aircraft and even The Legion was in danger, so after the expansion of the territory of Dionia, Davers realized that he could not take care of the entire territory of the Dionysian at any time, so he developed this important military regulation to give The head of the army in the battlefield has the autonomy of military operations, avoiding the slow and rigid command, stifling the fighting desires and enthusiasm of the officers and soldiers of the army!) And I ask the Senate to send more reinforcements! ——Signature: Alexis, head of the Third Army.
40,000 people? ! The veterans of the Senate were shocked by the strength of the Samonets, but they still struggled to "whether or not to send more reinforcements." But Davers finally made up his mind. He stood up and said with a firm tone: "The adults, The military situation in Potentia is urgent, and we are not allowed to delay the time! The huge strength of the Samonets of more than 40,000 people is not able to withstand the troops of the Third Army and Puamot! In order to prevent the Samona People defeated them, occupied Potentia, and entered the territory of our Lucania. I decided to lead the first and second legions to reinforce Potentia and try to defeat the enemy in the shortest possible time!"
"I support the decision of the Archon's adults!" Dave's voice just fell, Weisba was happy to jump, and Hermon also expressed support, but others temporarily fell silent.
Of course, the identity of Davers does not allow the veterans to be silent for too long. Soon, Cornelus got up and asked: "Is the attack on Lockley still going on?"
"Temporarily stop! The 4th and 5th Legion returned to the station to stand by, and at the same time dispatched the messenger to explain to Crotone and Xiliting, and believe that they can understand our situation, but -" Daphus has not finished Kuno Gorata is in a hurry to interject: "But Syracuse may attack our Greater Greece when our main force is on the north!"
The words of Kunogolata made a discussion in the veteran.
Amintas shouted: "Syracuse people come to the best, we don't have to go to Sicily again, attack them directly in Great Greece!"
"When they come, the people of Amintas, and the most courageous and strong citizens of Dionia, are still in the mountains of Lucania and the Samonais in the mountains to hide and seek!" Russ immediately retorted We will soon defeat the Samonet and return soon! Amintas argued loudly.
"It's hard to say. In the mountains, we Greeks can't catch up with the Samonets who are good at climbing. You can't catch up with them, how can you beat them off?!" Scamblas refuted the rebuttal .
"Old man, you have to understand that the Samonais are attacking us. We don't need to chase them at all. They will take the initiative to fight with us!" Amintas was anxious.
"Well, everyone, please be quiet!" Dafoss said loudly: "The situation is very obvious now. If we don't act, the Syracuse people will probably only look at Sicily, waiting for the opportunity, then the loss is still We, because the threat of the Samonei is in front of us, if we sit idly by, the situation in Lucania will be unimaginable..." Daves paused for a while, giving the veterans a time to think, and then continued: " Therefore, we can only grasp the time per minute, concentrate the force to attack the enemy that can be hit! No matter how many times the enemy comes from, we must concentrate on one attack, so as to ensure the greatest victory!"
The veterans were whispering again.
Kunogolata once again asked the voices of the elders: "The Archon is an adult. In case you are away, Syracuse really attacks the big Greece. What should we do?!"
Daves was prepared for this. He calmed down and slowly told his veterans about his speculations and plans: "We have Dionia sitting in the big Greek, Syracuse wants to attack the big Greece, no More than 50,000 to 60,000 people, Dionysius does not want to play the big Greek idea! But the huge time and strength of the troops and materials to land on the land of the Great Greece must be quite long..."
