v8 Chapter 217： Enemy period

When Marco was treated like this, he was almost shocked and then looked at Pretacu by his doubts.

Preta Kuba looked at him and said meaningfully: "Adult, this is not our inspiration, but the cheers of the people! Since the outbreak of the war, we have suffered fiasco, and the army of Dionia is smashing. In the land of Sicily, the warships of Dionia attacked us from time to time to the merchant ships that sailed to the west of Sicily. The people of the Sicilian colonies were displaced and the trade was dying... They are now deeply aware that Carthage needs a Heroes come to defeat the strong enemy and restore the prosperity of Carthage!"

"I understand, I will let them see it!" Ma Ge looked dignified, raised his right hand, and waved his hand to the audience around him.

The cheers are even more enthusiastic.

"Hey, the king of Iberia came and made himself like a hero!" Oklahoma looked at the trouble of being surrounded by the people and going to the Senate, saying sarcasm.

"Hero?! That will have to wait for him to defeat the Dionian talents!" Taipan Laco snorted.

"He brought more than 20,000 troops himself. Here he prepared 60,000 troops for him. There are still 30,000 or 40,000 troops in Sicily, a total of 11 or 20,000 troops. This is the most powerful in Carthage's history. The army! Whoever is the commander of this army, I am afraid that it will easily win!" Another elder said disdainfully.

The veterans at the entrance of the Senate whispered that Hanno, who stood at the forefront, looked calm. Although he did not say a word, his heart was also rising: he spent more than ten years trying to eliminate Magonid. The family’s influence on Carthage, even if he drove his immediate family out of Carthage, he remained vigilant against Margot. Listening to the cheers of the whole city, it does not mean that the Magonid family has a great influence in Carthage! And the reason why the Carthage people have such a big voice is precisely because they are worried about the war in Sicily. If there is a powerful general in his hand, how can the situation in the city become like this?

Looking at the Marco who approached him, Hanno was both annoyed and hated, but his expression remained calm, because he could not leave a bad impression on the people: he was the chief culprit in hindering Marco's leading battle.

"Welcome, Margot!" Hanno's face was full of smiles, and he praised him loudly: "You are here, we have hopes for the war with Dionia! So we have gathered enough citizens for you. Soldiers, prepared enough food, just to hear the news of your victory soon!"

Ma Ge listened to his praise words and looked at his face with a sincere smile. He felt a nausea in his heart and couldn’t help but say: "Carthage is in danger. If it is not obstruction by some people, I will be early. It's time to come!"

If Hanno was not heard, he still smiled and made an invitation to enter.

Margo headed into the Senate.

Oklahoma is close to Hanno, and he wants to say something.

Hanno stopped him with his eyes.

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

In the meeting, Ma Ge gave a speech to the elders. He gave a serious brief description of the current dangerous situation facing Carthage, and thanked the elders for their trust in him. Finally, he made an impassioned commitment: he will do his best. Reversing the current unfavorable situation, defeating the Dionysian army, driving the forces of Dionia out of Sicily, and forcing Dionya to no longer infringe on Carthage’s allies, Rome, forcing Diogenia to a greater extent. Opening up its domestic trade with Carthage merchants and forcing them to cut the size of the navy that threatens Carthage...

What Margo said was the heart of the elders, so everyone responded with warm applause.

At this time, O'Reilly stood up and applauded, and said coldly: "A very exciting speech! But a few months ago, Monte Adeno also said this, but the result!"

A can of cold water poured into the excitement of Ma Ge, he was even more angry that the other party actually compared himself to the incompetent generation, suddenly did not hit a place, immediately loudly refuted: "Monte Adenuo that idiot, Originally, there was no ability to command this war. If it wasn’t for some people who insisted, he would not be able to serve as the commander. As a result, he regarded war as a child’s play and suffered a fiasco, which caused Carthage to suffer huge losses. Should this accountability be pursued? ?!"

Hanno picked an eyebrow.

Ukrainian haha ​​laughed: "Monte Adeno is an incompetent generation?! This is really funny. He has been in Numibia for many years and has never suffered a defeat. He won a large piece of land for Carthage. The merits are no less than what you did in Iberia, which is why the elders unanimously elected him as the commander! Even so, after suffering the failure, he was severely punished. If the Senate made If there is any problem with this punishment, then I would like to ask Hanno, who had been defeated by Dionysius more than a decade ago, and caused about half of the citizens of Carthage’s city to die in Sicily. The failure of Montenegro is much greater, but have you ever been punished like Monte Adeno?! Is this fair?!"

"You are nonsense!!" The scars of the past were uncovered, and Marge was angry and screamed.

Hanno’s face showed a slight incomprehensible smile.

Preta Kuba immediately stood up and said: "The Russian Creighton, now the army gathers, will soon fight the Dionia, which will determine the fate of our Carthage! You are saying these words at this time, To disturb the military, do not know what it means?!"

"Don't scare me, Preta Kubda. I have no other intentions. I just wanted to ask Ma Ge, but I haven't asked for it yet. I didn't expect him to react so drastically." Russian Creston shrugged. An innocent appearance, then said: "What I just wanted to say is that everyone can say good things, but to implement them in action, it is not easy for us to convene so many citizens to go out to fight! But to give this huge It is not easy for the army to raise enough supplies of military food! Our treasury, our taxes, the gold and silver we have extracted... all invested in this war, and we cannot support this war for a long time, so I I want to ask, Master Ma, to fulfill the promise you just said, can you give us a specific deadline?"

Marco was stunned.

The words of Oklahoma have been recognized by many veterans. After all, between Ma and Hanno had been in dispute for more than a month. It can be said that the plane was delayed. Now he is holding the army. If it is still procrastinating, the elders should Grabbed it.

Even Essialu also took the initiative to get up and said: "Ma Ge, Oklahoma said it is good, the consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops is huge, we really need a more certain deadline, so that the entire Carthage can be here. During the period, I insisted on sticking my teeth and tried my best to provide the supply of the army."

Preta Kuba stunned Mako.

Marco thought that if he could get the full support of Carthage, it would not be a bad thing to set a deadline, but he saw the eyes of Preta Kuba and hesitated.

"It seems that Ma Ge is not very confident about whether he can defeat the Dionyrians." Taipan Laco said sarcastically.

Marco scorned Tepanlacco, and then his sharp eyes swept to Hanno, who was also watching him. He smiled disdainfully and said loudly: "We all know that Dionia is a strong country, we are with Dior. The war between the two countries cannot end in a short time. I also know what you mean by saying this, but I am still willing to set a deadline to both urge myself and give hope to the people of Carthage... 1 year! Within a year, I will do my best to drive the power of Dionia out of Sicily!"

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

The main force of the Samonna coalition entered Beneventorm, and the next day he received the news that "Lola was under siege by the enemy."

As soon as he got the news, Segowani asked for a military meeting and said anxiously during the meeting: "We immediately went out to defeat the Dionyrian coalition forces in the south and then led the army back to Lola.

Of course, Leskuk did not agree with this proposal. He patiently persuaded: "The big head of Segowani Lola city is strong, the defenders are not too small, the enemy can not be in a short time You must not be too anxious to attack. You should know that there are a large number of enemies outside the city of Benevenvent, and that there are relatively well-developed camps. If the front is strong, our losses will inevitably be great, and they will not necessarily success.

However, such a huge army of Dionia has come a long way, and the supply of rations has become a big problem. As long as we send several troops to sneak into the mountains, bypass their camps and attack Abeniyarum and their camps. The passage between them cuts off their food transportation. The Diaonians are not enough to eat, they must be flustered and confused, and then it is time for us to attack. Once the main force of the Dionyrian coalition is defeated, our next situation will be much better. ”

"I agree with Lersguk's opinion that we are now less and we should be careful!" Badani said, after all, the Devonian's corps did not threaten the territory of Pentene, and he certainly did not want to take risks.

As for Contruk, he hesitated, although the territory of Kalasheni is far from the offensive threat of Dionia, but as an old man who always takes a tough attitude to protect the racial interests of Samona, take a heavy strategy. It is against his nature, but the Kalasheni warrior was the least among the four major races. After several battles, there was no small loss, which made him have to pay attention to this problem, so he finally agreed to Leskuk. Suggestions.
