Davers touched his jaw and thought about it. He said, "First secret surveillance, don't alarm them. Report to me as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
"Amyrius, the intelligence you collected during this time helped the army win in succession. After the war, the kingdom will give you and your rewards!" Daves praised without hesitation.
"Thank you!" Amyrius's face was so excited that her eyes became a seam.
Davers looked at him and smiled and said: "Have a busy day, hungry, just that I am going to have dinner soon, and eat with me."
"Ah?! This... this! Yes! Yes!..." Amyrius was so excited that she was incoherent.

At this time, in the temporary camp of the Roman army outside the city of Prinist, the Roman dictator Camilos was negotiating with the generals to discuss the next operational plan.
"The dictator, you let us not attack the city of Rome, but attack the Ostia?!" Minusius looked at Camillas with surprise.
In addition to Titus's thoughtful thinking, the other generals are equally astonished.
Camilles looked in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Accurately, it should be that we have to set aside the attack on the Roman city, but we must first send troops to take Ostia!"
Without waiting for the generals to ask, he continued to explain: "We all know that it is very difficult to storm the city. Before we were besieged by a 70,000 people, a city of Feren Tirum, which consisted of a squadron of less than 10,000 defenders. It took us more than ten days and paid a lot of casualties. There are at least 50,000 people in the city of Rome, and we all know that they have a strong fighting power, and the Roman walls are so tall and thick. Just relying on our army, which has more people than the other side, to attack the city of Rome. I am afraid to win back to Rome... It’s hard!
"Camilus Master!" Minusius interrupted his words and shouted his name. He screamed: "You, as the dictator of Rome, have the only powerful power to save Rome. I am looking forward to your recapture of our homeland. You have not yet fought the enemy. You are already scared. Are you still the hero who saved Rome?! Where did your courage go?! Are you also the commander of this army? !......" Perhaps it was because of the depth of love that the blame was cut, and the monk of Minu could not control his temper and his face was angry.
"Minusius, how can you speak to the dictator in such a tone!" Oluse, the relative of the same clan, immediately criticized the young man.
Camilles was not angry. Instead, he patiently explained: "Because we are the last hope of the army to save Rome, we need to be more cautious. Otherwise, if we fail, it will become more difficult to recapture Rome. "
"Dyonia can be able to capture us in a day... why can't we?!" said Minusius.
Lucius couldn’t help but retorted:
The majority of the people who faced the Romans when they attacked the city of Rome were old people and teenagers, as well as free people and slaves. If we attack the city, we will face training. The Dionysian army! And, according to the situation reflected by the squadrons, the Devonians made a lot of powerful siege equipment, including many rifles, and we are now the most powerful siege. Instruments - guns or Carthage gifts!"
Minusius sneaked and immediately retorted: "Isn’t the squadrons say that there are two gaps in the South Wall? And there are our citizens on the Capitolin Hill. If we attack the city, they can The city was attacked by the Dionyrians, and then they were taken back to Rome!"
"Young people, the siege war is not as simple as you think. Why don't you sit down and listen to the dictator's words?!" Titus looked serious and advised that although he was a younger veteran, he was in the army. The prestige was not low, but it was one of the main generals who attacked southern Etruscan and played an important role in several key victories.
Camillaus didn't care. He looked at Minusius with a little anxiety and looked at the generals. He said: "According to the previous information, this Daonian army is theirs. The king, led by the Greeks as the "unbeaten" Daves, they just occupied Rome, morale is flourishing, and since they are good at siege, I am afraid that the ability to defend the city is not weak, perhaps looking forward to us Siege, thus damaging the morale of our soldiers, so we must be careful! But this Dionya army that occupied our Rome still has its shortcomings, its shortcomings are - Ostia!"
Camilles shouted and pointed his finger at the small port city on the map: "The reason why the king of Dionia dared to go deep into the army and attack Rome was because it had the advantage of water, and the warships of Dionia were always at any time. Soldiers and supplies can be transported to the city of Rome through the Tiber River. They are not afraid of being trapped by us, but if we capture Ostia -"
"Even if Ostia is occupied, the mouth of the Tiber River is so wide, and the fleet of Dionia is so strong, we can't block the entire river!" Minusius retorted.
"Of course it can be done! Because the cargo ship wants to go up to Rome through the Tiber River, unless it encounters a strong east wind, it can only rely on the tracker. Ostia is occupied, the source of the tracker is cut off. If it is in Taiwan On the north bank of the Bo River, our ally, Kasera, also acted, we can basically cut off the support of the Dionysian ship to Rome, and let the Dionya army in Rome be truly surrounded!" Titus Obviously, I understand the intention of Camillaus to capture Ostia.
Minusius had already approved Camillaus’s proposal at this time, but he still tried to find a loophole in the plan:
But... since Ostia is so important, I am afraid there will strengthen the defense, and Rome’s The Dionysian army will also send reinforcements..."
Titus smiled: "Austia is a small town. The wall is only three meters high. The Diaonians will strengthen their defenses. It is impossible to change it to a height of more than ten meters in a short time. It is much easier to attack it than to attack Rome, and the Diaonians have to reinforce, which can just weaken their power in Rome."
Titus's explanation not only eliminated the anger of Minusius, but also released some doubts from other generals.
Camillaus cast a glance at Titus and then said: "In order to enable the Diaonians in Rome to discover our true intentions in a short time, they will recapture Ostia as soon as possible with fewer casualties. It is the best, so I have drawn up such a plan -"
Camillas looked around and listened to them carefully. Then he said: "When tomorrow, our army will arrive outside Rome, start building camps, and block the enemy from entering and occupying the river port outside Rome. Titus will lead you. 25,000 troops consisting of our colonial city soldiers and allied citizens sneaked into the west quietly and quickly, attacking Ostia!"
"Yes, dictator!" Titus knew why Camillaus emphasized that he was led by the colonial and allied forces, because if they were the Roman army, they desperately wanted to take home, so they might resist the order. Or, even if they obey, their morale will not be high.
Other generals are also aware of this truth. Li Sinous said with some concern: "The dictator, the Diaonians may be aware of the obvious difference in the number of people, and early defense."
"The Diaonians are blocked in the city. They can't see the truth. We can disguise the people who are stranded here and arrange them in the back of the army to confuse their eyes..." Camilles is not busy. Said.
"I think this plan can be implemented." Titus immediately agreed.
"I agree too!" Other generals also expressed their opinions.
"What if the Deonians found the problem and went out to the city and fight with us?" Milusius, who was quick-minded, discovered a loophole and reminded him.
"That is what we hope! More than 40,000 Roman soldiers are less than the other, but their belief in taking home will make up for this gap, not to mention the troops we hold on the Capitoline Hill. The troops of the rate will return in time, the Diaonians will inevitably be defeated, but we can easily retake the city of Rome!" Li Si Nius said confidently.
Minusius finally had nothing to say.
At this time, Camillaus looked at him and said: "When we march to Rome tomorrow, we will also send messengers to cross the Tiber River, contact the colonial cities of the North Bank and the Etruscan allies, and let them cooperate with us. Www.EbookFREE.me~ This task is handed over to Minusius."
"I?!" Minusius had some accidents. After he hit Camillas several times, Camilles also gave him a heavy responsibility. .
"You are the best candidate!" Camilles is sincere and has no resentment because Milusius is jealous of him: "I believe you can urge them to send troops and control the north bank of the Tiber River!"
"I will finish the task!" Minusius answered with excitement and firm tone. After all, as a young citizen who had served for several years in military service, he could not lead thousands of people in the next battle. The army, but he wants to make a greater contribution to the rescue of Rome, this task is best for him.
"Since everyone has agreed to this plan, then..." Camilles began to make more detailed arrangements for the generals for tomorrow's action.

The next morning, Davers got the news of the Detective Ride: The army of Camillaus is marching into the city of Rome.
