Standing on the front steps of the Senate, Kuno Gorata looked back at everything in front of him. The harmony and stability of the square touched the painful memories of his heart. His expression gradually became firm: "The Dionysian League can be very today. Easy, we must not allow the Syracuse to destroy it!"
The same painful memories of Cornelus have not been moderate at the moment: "We will win all the gold and silver, but also win this war! Only in this way, the people of Diaonia can have a future!"
Seklelyn was very busy these days. On the one hand, he had to reorganize the mixed fleet from the various alliances that had just been brought to Turui, establish the subordinate fleet, arrange the sailors’ accommodation, etc., and maintain Warships, installation of "crows" and many other things; on the other hand, he also participates in and guides the construction of dry docks, the construction of naval military ports and the establishment of a cordon to prevent anyone from watching the naval training to avoid leaks.
Now from the port to the Temple of Hera, this section of the river has become a large construction site. Thousands of Diaonians are building up and expanding their naval bases. With the assistance of the Ministry of Military Affairs and the City Hall of Tuli, Seclair is easy. Quite a lot, but the most anxious thing in his heart is that two new legions have not yet been formed, and his new tactics cannot be exercised at all.
So when the "Syracuse army landed in Rocky, the fleet of nearly 500 warships of Syracuse, Chen Bing, in the north of Rocky, to protect the fleet of Syracuse's troop," was not only the news. At the beginning of Daves's warnings and plans, he did not have a single fight in his own heart.
At the headquarters of the South Italian Alliance in the West, the representatives of the city-states headed by Ansitanos put an unnecessary quarrel on the occasion of the crisis and quickly reached an agreement: the city-states in the Nanyi League did their best to send out their best efforts. There may be more troops to form a coalition, and the commander of the coalition is temporarily served by Filipinos. If Davers is to lead the team, the position of the commander is naturally none other than him, but he is not there, so the representatives of the city-states think that the prestige of Filipinos is not enough to make the leading generals of other city-states completely white, only temporary. And there are important decisions, and Filipinos must negotiate with other city-state generals to decide. In addition, the coalition forces can freely march and build camps in any city-state or any territory of the South-Italian Alliance. The supply of military food is provided by the city-states on a pro rata basis, as is the case with Dionya, of course, Crotone and Lijim. Naturally, there are quite a few. Fortunately, at this time, at the end of October, the autumn harvest has just ended, and the citizens of the city-states have sufficient surplus food. The special granary in the Daionia Union’s reserve a few years ago is full, so there is no shortage of food. Worry.
Once the agreement was reached, the city-state representatives immediately returned to the city-state and urged the troops to be sent. Only two people did not move.
Ansitas was because Diony had a preparation plan before Davis was gone. He only had to wait in the West Court to wait for the 4th and 5th Army to arrive.
The other person is the messenger of Cologne, Uli Patos. Because Cologne is already at the forefront of the battlefield, the entire Cologne has begun war mobilization, ready to defend the Syracuse attack. As a messenger, he has a heavy responsibility and must stay here, urging other city-state reinforcements to rush to Cologne as soon as possible.
"Master Ansitas, are you sure that the army of Dionia has already set off?!" he asked urgently.
"When I came from Asptum City, our Fourth Army had already gathered soldiers in the square. With my understanding of our coalition forces, they should be on the road now."
"That's good! That's good!" said Yuli Patos's mouth. The whole body was fidgeting like a sore on the buttocks. Then he asked: "So, did your fifth legion also set off?" !"
"The head of the Fifth Army of Deonia has no other hobbies. The only thing he likes is fighting. As soon as he receives an order, he will definitely call the army to set off. I even think that the fifth legion may have a longer departure time than the Fourth Army. Early," Ansitanos said earnestly.
Yuli Patos has a slightly calmer mood.
Ansitanos saw him keep rubbing his feet, his right hand still tapping on the wooden table, a heart-like appearance, could not help but reminded: "I suggest that you are still near to urge the municipality of Xiliting Hall, hurry to mobilize the civic soldiers."
Xi Liting? Yuli Patos has some doubts: according to the agreement reached, their army will not go to Cologne.
Ancitanus explained to him seriously: "Silit, Trina and Crotone are responsible for defending the north bank of the Ramatu River, but if the Syracuse people rushed past the Ramatu River, Wandering to the north of Cologne, wouldn’t our South Alliance’s plan to stop the Syracuse from being in Locke and its allies would not fail!
Yuli Patos immediately awakened with this reminder and immediately stood up and said: "You are right, I am going to find Pletitis."
On this day, in Rocky, Dionysius encountered difficulties.
What he had planned was that the entire fleet sailed north from Syracuse early in the morning and arrived in Lockley in one day to complete the landing as soon as possible. Therefore, he specially asked the most experienced sailors to pick a good day for the main force of the Dionysian expedition to Potentia and at the same time calm.
The huge fleet did arrive at Lockley smoothly, but it was a lot of trouble during the period of entering the port.
Rocky does not have a natural harbour like Syracuse, it can easily make thousands of ships temporarily parked, and the port of Lockley is not as big as Syracuse, and it can accommodate five or six at a time. Hundreds of ships are already the limit. At the same time, as a city-state, Rocky has limited manpower. He has never dealt with a series of landing procedures for nearly 10,000 ships at the dock, unloading, shipping, offshore, rotation, etc. This requires sufficient labor, orderly organization, strong management, and rich experience. Rocky does not.
Moreover, in order to keep secrets and achieve the purpose of sudden attacks, Dionysius sent the Clippers to rule Rocky the day before, so Lockley’s preparations were not sufficient.
This caused a large amount of ship materials to be unloaded and could not be cleaned up in time, piled up at the docks, blocked the passage of soldiers on the shore, and allowed the Syracuse soldiers to clean up themselves. The soldiers who had been wandering for a day at sea were very tired and eager to Rest, of course, the heart is suffocating, and if you don’t agree, it will conflict with the workers at the dock.
The unloading vessel is eager to leave the intensive vessel gap, and the unloading vessel is eager to get to the dock. How can the dispatched Lockley officials take care of so many ships, causing the ships to collide and the crew to fall into the water from time to time. It can be seen that even after several ships were hit, the hull was damaged and the water entered, and the final overturn was tragedy.
Outside the port, thousands of ships are on the surface of the sea. Both sailors and soldiers are very eager to go ashore early, and the ship owners are anxiously expecting to complete the task soon, and then leave because they are worried that although the sea is good now. However, the climate in the Mediterranean is very varied. In the event of a sudden storm, all the boats will be shot to the coast. Everyone has no room to escape and is crushed together.
Dionysius was the first to go ashore. When he saw the port of Rocky quickly falling into chaos, he was anxious, and even the big brother who had come to meet him, Demodokas, got angry.
But the fire is useless, the problem is there, and it must be resolved as soon as possible. Therefore, Dionysius had to force the people who had already landed to work as laborers, obey the command of the Port of Lockley, help carry goods, clear the docks, and mediate conflicts. At the same time, the helpless order was issued, so that all the transport ships outside the port landed on the beach near the Rocky, let the soldiers go ashore.
After completing these instructions, Dionysius knew that the bad situation at the port of Rocky would be greatly improved, but a thousand things would follow, without two or three days of processing and repairing, the army of Syracuse I am afraid that it is impossible to send troops.
In order to keep his eyes on his eyes, Dionysius left several generals and ministers responsible for coordinating and directing the landing. He left the port with a group of people such as Phibidas and entered the city of Rocky.
Fibidas was the first to go to Locke~EbookFREE.me~ was carefully looking at the buildings in the city, but I heard Dionysius whispered: "Fibidas, you think we are next Where should the first attack target be?"
Pfeidas glanced at him and glanced at the other people who were far behind and separated by guards. He was surprised: because he had already expressed to the lord when he was in Syracuse. My own opinion, how have you not made up your mind yet?
So, he said affirmatively: "My first choice is still Coulen."
Upon hearing this, Dionysius fell silent: he understood the intentions of Phibidas, and when the city-states in the Nanyi League were not ready for war, they could not reach a union with a rapid attack. But the reason why he hesitated was not because the Syracuse army landed in the Great Greece like a wolf into the flock, but there were too many fat sheep. I don’t know which one to eat first, so that he suffered from difficult choices, but Because he already has a goal in his heart, that is - Li Jim.
Lijim has repeatedly opposed him and even humiliated him, such as rejecting his proposal, but marrying his wife to marry the enemy of Syracuse, the governor of Dionia, but this is only a secondary reason. The most important thing is the wealth and location of Lijim.
