Vol 6 Chapter 112: Doubt about Raos

"Know it." Henipolis was happily going out.
Davers smiled and watched him leave. Henipolis lived in his house for a few years. Although he was a character, he was not a feminine one. He was very fond of the Duffs family, and Davers also treated him as a younger brother. So the next step He didn't want to let Henipolis know about it.
The team officer responsible for defending the Lahe Fortress was called in.
"I remember you called Tagru, right?" Daves and Yan Yue said.
The somewhat nervous company leader did not expect that the Denia’s lifelong consul, the army’s commander, Daves, remembered the name he had when he first arrived at the Lahe Fortress ten days ago and saluted him. .
"Yes, Commander!" he answered with excitement.
"I remember that you came from Grummantum, is it a tribe or is it independent?" Davers continued to ask and signaled him to sit down.
"It's already independent, I just need to work hard for my home." Tagru is straightforward and answers in fluent Greek. In the last year, the Lucania region began to have a popular perception: independent Lukania talent is a true Dionia citizen and has real freedom! In the last war, many tribes were destroyed and weakened in the Lucania region (except for Potentia and Galagusso), so the remaining tribes were alone, relying heavily on the alliance, and demanding The tribes who leave the tribe can only listen to it, far less powerful than the leaders of Bruty.
"It seems that you have become a family, have children? How is life going?" Davers and he pulled up his family.
This made Tagruo a bit strange, but felt cordial: "Ashinu bless, I already have two children, and they are all boys, very healthy!... The original Bagur gave me five acres. The land, but it is all mountainous, not suitable for growing wheat. The farmer advised me to plant apple trees, I did it. This year the tree has grown up, they said that the year will be the result, then I can sell the apple to the city. Go, they also said that the price of the apples in Turui is higher, but it is going to travel to Turui for several days...
The year before, I also borrowed money from the banks in the city and bought 20 lambs and two cows. Now the number has doubled. In the summer, I sold six sheep and a cow to the restaurants in the city, not only paid off the loan, but also added 30 drachmas. I decided to buy some cattle and sheep next year, and strive to be able to catch hundreds of cattle and sheep up the mountain every day... Adults, not afraid of your jokes, this is my dream. In the past, there were only so many cattle and sheep in the tribe..."
"Haha, your ambition is great!" Daphus smiled and then asked with concern: "You are doing the task at the Lahe Fortress, what about the family?"
"My wife is a capable woman who can take good care of children and fruit trees. And I also bought a Thrace slave from the bank loan to help me graze cattle and sheep. When busy, neighbors will come to help. Adults, The village where I live has built a village..."
After listening to Daves, he said earnestly: "The Dahe Fortress is stationed, away from the city and homeland. Not only is the daily life very monotonous, but it is also impossible to go home to take care of the family for a long time... The hardest task of this is to register. The trained free people and the reserve citizens acted as an important task to shorten their citizenship inspection period. But before the war broke out, I proposed to replace them with real civic soldiers. Stay here. Do you have some complaints?

"Adult... Well, to be honest, there is one thing." Tagruh hesitated, and said truthfully.

Because you have been trained more rigorously, you are a citizen of Dionia. When you are in danger, you will be desperate to hold this fortress to ensure that your home is not trampled! The Lahe Fortress is the only connection to Lucca. The land passages of Nia and Turui, and the space here is small, the troops can not be unfolded, once occupied by the enemy, it will cut off the connection between Turui and Lucania, which is very dangerous!" Foss said solemnly.
"Adult, you mean... someone will attack this place?!" Tagru’s eyes widened in surprise.
It is important to know that the Lahe Fortress is now in the hinterland of the Dionysian League. In addition to checking past merchants and passengers, providing them with simple accommodation and food, there is nothing else to do. In the past, the veteran proposed the proposal to
revoke the fortress of Lahe and turn it into a station
and was finally dismissed by Davers.
"During the war, dangers arise at any time, and the dangers often come from the darkness... From now on, you must be vigilant and not allow any caravans, passengers to stay or stay outside the fortress, or allow any Do you understand that the army that does not hold the military commander enters or passes through the river fortress?!" Daphus once again solemnly shouted.
"Follow, Commander Adult!" Tagruh got up and saluted.
"Tagru, are you still a formal Legionnaire?"
"Adult, I am just preparing soldiers. My tribe is too late to join the league, and there are too many Lucanias who are enrolled in the Third Army." Tagrud said frustratedly.
"I hope that after this war, I can see your name on the performance book of the Third Army!" Daves seriously encouraged him: "In addition, once the enemy attacks the Lahe Fortress, you should not fight alone. In time to inform the Humman of Niutumm in order to get his assistance, understand?"
"Yes, adults!" Taglu was once again excited about the ceremony. Although he did not know where the enemy would come from, he was no longer frustrated by being sent to such a wilderness. He made a loud promise: "Adult You can rest assured that I will hold the Lahe Fortress until the end of the war!"
Davers nodded. After Tagru, he rose to the south-facing window and looked out.
It is impossible to see the city of Laos in the mouth of the Lahe River, so Davers can only guess what the Arrozos who is not the name of the governor but who is the governor will do now?
Since Arrobus had twice uncharacteristically, did not take the initiative to come to the river fortress to meet the Dionysian army, and the troops he sent to Henipolis were all loyal to Avinogis, plus Daves In Niutum, he received a secret report from the intelligence department. "There seems to be a trace of the Syracuse people in the city of Laos." Daves’s heart has a somewhat unpredictable feeling: when Dionia was at a disadvantage and faced danger, the man had been alone in the past and joined Turui to assist Avinogis in taking back What choices does the Russian man have to choose?
Although Daves can only wait quietly, he took Hennipolis and prepared for both hands.
.......................................
Just as Daves led the army from the Lahe Fortress into the mountains and set foot on the way back to Turui, Dionysius had led the 90,000 army to the banks of the Tacinadi River (this army including Dionysius) More than 70,000 Sicilian troops, as well as Lockley, Heberian, and the Coulenian forces who just joined the Syracuse side, plunged the camp on the banks of the Tachnadi River.
Ten thousand miles of camps were filled with thousands of military accounts in the southern part of the Croton Plain and the lower reaches of the Tachnadi River. The engineers in Syracuse also commanded more than 4,000 Coulenian soldiers and slaves from the Silitine to build a simple dock at the entrance to the Tachnadi River, so that food and weight can be transported by sea to the battalion for logistics. Replenishment provides greater convenience.
While the army was busy building the camp, Dionysius led the generals to Crotone city to see the city defense.
At this time, Crotone inner city set up Luzhai on both sides of the moat on the suggestion of the Daonian gunners, and began to arrange traps, only because the army of Syracuse came too fast to complete. This is the second time in five years that Crotone's city has been smashed under the city. The horror of Crotone's people is bigger than the last time, because standing on the head of the city and looking west, you can see the west far. The endless white formed by the continuous military account blends with the skyline.
Lucias, Sis Protus, Ascamas, and all the members of the Crotone House Council and the soldiers who were on the head of the city watched the city and were surrounded by hundreds of cavalry. In the center of the cruel Sicilian lord ~EbookFREE.me ~ angry eyes are also mixed with a bit of fear.
Dionysius regarded the people on the head of the city as the air. He walked and watched as if walking in a leisurely walk, and exchanged views with people around him from time to time.
"Look at the city wall of Crotone is 10 meters high, and it is made of large stones. There are moats and deer villages outside the city. The whole city is so big. They have enough people to defend. I think It is very difficult to capture the city!" Fibidas said without any scruples that the allies were discouraged. To be honest, the Spartans are horrible in the field, but they have little to do in the siege. In its past wars, there were no large cities and even small towns. In the past Peloponnesian war, dozens of years ago, the spartan-led allies were stationed outside Athens for many years, ruining the Attica Peninsula into a ruin, but never able to Attack the walls of Athens. So after the victory of the war, one of the first things they had to do was to let the Athenians tear down the walls.
"Even the city of Crotone can't be attacked, the city of Asprostum is narrow, it is not conducive to the development of the troops, and it is impossible to capture. We also led the army to do here?! Is it just to trap them?! Astagras said sarcastically that he was very dissatisfied with this arrogant Spartan.
