Vol 8 Chapter 97: Expedition Rome

"Your Majesty!" The three cronies of the King of Dionia: Court Guardian Martius, the clerk Henipolis, and the commander Aristilas have been respectfully waiting in front of the checkpoint.
"Let you wait for a long time." Daves jumped off the horse and looked at Martius and asked, "Is the guards of the palace and the palace already arranged during my absence?"
"According to the last time I reported to you, half of the soldiers (250 people) were left behind, and Shenifinis was in charge to protect the safety of the palace and the king's hills, as well as the kings and princes." Martius answered .
Daves nodded and walked to Sheofennis, who was standing behind the three men. He said sincerely: "The safety of my family will come to you!"
"Please rest assured, I will complete the task you handed over!" Xenophonis confidently and forcefully performed a military ceremony.
Davers unconsciously glanced at his left hand.
Sheen Finnis is using the left hand marching ceremony. He was a member of the Persian Expeditionary Force, a senior team officer of the First Army, and now a friend of the ninth army leader, Tagtionos. He suffered serious injuries to his right hand in the fierce battle of the First Army in Sicily and the coalition of Syracuse more than a decade ago. According to this situation, he should have retired from the army, but he himself strongly expressed his willingness to stay in the army. After several twists and turns, Davis finally elected him to the court guards as team officers. After all, the chances of the Palace Guards killing the enemy are very small, and they do not need him to kill the enemy, but he needs to bring rich combat experience and strict legion discipline to the Palace Guard. So far, he has performed very well, which is why Davers agreed with Martius to give him the right to stay.
Davers patted his shoulders vigorously to express his expectations, then turned to Aristilas.
Although Davers looked at him and did not speak, Aristilas understood the King’s expectations for him: during his personal expedition, he closely monitored the entire kingdom and worked closely with the Palace Guard and the patrol department to ensure the stability of the kingship. The family is safe, and once there is an abnormality, he reports to him who is far away from Latin.
Aristilas once again solemnly salutes Daves, and everything goes without saying.
Daves finally looked at Henipolis and whispered, "Herney, are you ready to write a wonderful "Lat War"?"
"Your Majesty, I have prepared enough papyrus and pen." Henipolis wisely answered and let Dafos laugh.
"Get off," he said quietly.
Martius led 250 court guards, surrounded by Davers. Daves was accompanied by Klotto Katex and Henipolis, and went to the North Gate with the attention of Aristilas, Sheofennis and the remaining court guards.
"Salute!" the garrison officer of the North Gate shouted excitedly.
The sentinels hurriedly turned the noose, opened the gate, and stood straight on both sides.
"Working hard, Timias!" Daves accurately called out the name of the garrison officer, and immediately performed a military ceremony, which made the garrison officer and the sentinel excited.
The reason why Daves set off so early is because some of the residents of Turi have just got up in this time period, and there are few pedestrians in the outer city, almost unimpeded.
The rumbling of the "rumbling" smashed the tranquility of the outer city, and when the curious residents came out to check, the cavalry had already gone.
"It’s the Palace Guard!
The people made an accurate judgment based on the costumes of the soldiers: "Daveus must be inside!"
"Daveus went down to the military camp so early, we don't temper, just ate breakfast and rushed to the military camp to see the army!"
..........................................
This time, because there were too many soldiers to go, it exceeded the capacity of the Victory Square in the city of Turai, so the final assembly and departure place of the army was set at the Turiyi military camp.
When the day was just dawn, Davers rushed to the Turiyi military camp. At the commander's office, he summoned several ministers of the military department and the head of the Second Army Corps, Matonis, the head of the Fourth Army, Oliver, and the Fifth Corps. Long Giorgios, Trophyras, head of the Sixth Army, and Izam, the captain of the Mountain Reconnaissance Corps, informed them of the application status of each unit, the morale of the soldiers, the weapons and equipment carried, and whether they carried five The rations of the day, the full complement of the officers of the various legions, the maintenance of the siege and defense equipment, and the adequacy of the equipped squad...
When Devers and the generals negotiated the expedition, under the guidance of Tormide, Klotok Katex also met with the staff of the Department of Military Affairs to Daves, they are basically in each The team’s outstanding team officers were then transferred to the staff department of the Military Department for a year or two, so the age was basically around twenty-six years old. Klotok Katex spent more than a year in the military affairs department, and Most of them met each other. Although he was a prince, he was very friendly and soon talked with them.
Everyone was excited to talk about the expectation of this war. Under such a lively atmosphere, Klotok Katex completely forgot that he was going to visit the second legion’s station before the departure to visit the big brother Adoris. of.
But in fact, even if he went, he couldn't talk to Adoris, because the soldiers in the barracks were awakened by the military code. After they quickly finished eating breakfast, they skillfully wrapped the armor and ration into a package. Hanging on a special wooden stick, picking it on the shoulder, wearing only short-sleeved lining on the body, hanging a short sword at the waist, long shield, stab gun and javelin are handed over to the corps of the corps to transport, so convenient They climbed the mountain more effortlessly and faster in the next march.
At dawn, most of the veterans of the Kingdom’s Senate also rushed to the military camp. They were led by the rotating presidents of the five veterans of Cornelus, Sedrum, Vesba, Lucias and Anta Orris. Some of the veterans came to see the king and the army of Dafos, and also came to express his position: during his expedition, they will do their utmost to ensure the smooth operation of the kingdom government.
And a small number of veterans, such as Assisi, Antrapolis, NikoMarcus, and Trephias, are preparing to lead a number of volunteers who come to the Kingdom to follow up. The army went to Latin, in fact they could take the bulk of the grain fleet that sailed south from the port yesterday, bypassing the Strait of Messina, and going to Wolsey, but even the most distinguished King Davers would follow the army. Marching, of course, they can't express their fears and fears, leaving a bad impression on the rulers of the kingdom, so they will follow the heavy team behind them.
At dawn, Davis had a swearing-in meeting before the expedition to nearly 40,000 soldiers on the large playground of the Turif military camp. The first time he experienced this grand and solemn occasion, Klotok Katex listened to it. After the father’s speech, it was also a wave of hearts, and the soldiers with high morale shouted: "Deverus Kings Victory!!! The Kingdom of Dionya victorious!!!..."
When the army began to go out, the people of the kingdom, especially the people of Turui, had already waited on both sides of the road. As in the past, they sent their loved ones to the battlefield with cordial shouts and devout blessings to win glory for the kingdom. The victory won them glory and generous rewards. The farewell team has been extended to the Yamaguchi town, always cheering all the way, even with petals, as if they have won.
"This is why the kingdom is so powerful!" Daves, who was riding in the middle of the team, whispered to the son who followed him.
Klotok Katex looked at the people cheering on both sides of the road and nodded with deep feelings.
In the early 14th of March of the Kingdom of Dionia (ie 379 BC), King Daves personally led the Second Army, the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, the Sixth Army, the First Cavalry Corps, and the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade. 40,000 people marched west, passed through the mountains, arrived in Laos, and then took the boat in batches to the Latin area. In fact, this team also includes some 600 members of the elders and the middle and low-level bureaucrats, about 200 engineers, artisans, blacksmiths, etc., which were taken from Turui, and a team of mainly prepared citizens. The heavy transport team and the squad, so the whole team is huge and bloated.
In addition, the merchants of Turui and Lijim rode their own fleets, loaded with rations, passed through the Strait of Messina, and detoured the west coast of Italy, ready to meet with the army of King Davers in Latin.
..........................................
While Daves’s army marched toward Latin, ~EbookFREE.me~ Spartans in Greece are recruiting troops, planning to regain control of Thebes, and the Presbyterian Council also learned The news of the direct participation of the Athenians in this riot of Thebes made them feel astonished and worried. After all, if the two strong states of Greece rejoined together, the Spartans regained control of Greece. The plan will be greatly hindered.
So Spartan's two ombudsmen immediately rushed to Athens, and asked the Athenians with impetuousness: Are you ready to tear up the King and the covenant, and fight against Sparta.
Although the Athenians were dissatisfied with Sparta and secretly helped the people of Thebes to resist, but over the past decade or so, Sparta has not only recovered their strength with the support of the Persians, but they have stopped the war in Asia Minor and will all After the power poured into the hegemony of the Greek mainland, the Greek city-states felt great pressure. The Peloponnesian peninsula was completely controlled by it. Even Collins and Argos did not dare to make any The unusual move, the northern Greek city-state became its alliance, and China and Greece were messed up by it. ()
