This has caused many civilian soldiers who had been firmly following Rome to be cold-hearted. The confrontation and suspicion between the Roman aristocrats and the civilians in the camp has become deeper and deeper. The initially determined position of McKays has also begun to waver, but only in a row. The battle made them still have time to calm down and think about the future.
This morning, the unwilling Roman officers sent several squadrons to search for Ostia, hoping to find something.
The squadron where McKelius is located was assigned to the port.
McLarens has been to the port of Ostia many times before. The port is full of ships and the scene of the pier is no longer there. The houses and warehouses with scales are now piled up. The ruins after the burning, the black smoke everywhere is crying about the tragic experience that the port suffered last night...
Looking at all of this, McKyle’s heart was full of bleakness, and he couldn’t help but think of Rome. He thought of Wei Ai and thought of himself...
"Captain, the dictator told us that as long as we can recapture Ostia, we can force the Dionia to hold peace talks with us and return to Rome.... Now we have retaken Ostia, really Have a peace talk with the Daonians?" asked a Victorian soldier beside him.
To his doubts, McKays could not answer: the soldiers are not fools, the two sides fought these days, and the casualties are not infrequent. According to the Romans’ past war habits, after mastering the advantages, they will definitely conquer their opponents and let them go again. Not capable of confronting Rome, and the equally powerful Kingdom of Dionia will easily let go of Rome?
"Can the Dionians stop fighting and have something to do with us? I have already had enough of this endless battle. Now Jupiter is still blessing me, I am going to leave here, go back to love!" A soldier said loudly.
McLauss glanced at him and said: "As long as the Dionyns still occupy Rome, there is danger in the love of Rome, not far from Rome. We fight here for ourselves, look here -" McLarens pointed to the ruined port of Ostia and said with concern: "We must not let Vai love become like this!"
When McLarens’s words came out, everyone suddenly stopped talking and looked up to the northeast. His face was full of worries.
For a long while, the soldier who spoke before said softly: "It is better to join Dionya, to preserve the love and increase our wealth..."
The other soldiers still did not speak, and even McKays did not blame him. Everyone looked at each other and looked quite a bit strange.
At this time, someone in front shouted: "Look! There are boats coming!"
After entering the city of Ostia in the morning, the soldiers saw the ruins and the ruins, so many soldiers curiously flocked to the breakwater of the port.
I saw a sailboat coming from the north of the sea, turning into the mouth of the Tiber River, first approaching the north bank. It seemed that I saw many Roman soldiers in the port, turned around and headed straight to the port.
"Is it an Etruscan ship?" Many soldiers speculated that the Tiber River mouth was more than 200 meters wide, and the river was misty in the early morning. It was not very clear and could only be driven by the ship. The direction of judgment, of course, they also hope that this is the case.
The soldiers suddenly stunned and picked up the weapons in their hands until they saw the pattern of "black hair twine forks" drawn on the canvas.
The sailboat stopped and ran across more than 30 meters from the breakwater, and several people on the boat shouted in Latin.
The team that McLarens had failed to squeeze into the breakwater, so I couldn’t hear what the people on the boat were yelling, but they soon saw a commotion in front of the soldiers, and then the noise rushed straight into the eardrum: This is impossible! They are deceiving, and the city of Kesera cannot be occupied by the Dionyrians too!"
"You are right, the city of Kesera is built on the mountain and it is difficult to be captured! And the main force of Dionia is concentrated here to fight with us. How can there be enough troops to attack Case? Leila, this must be lying!"
"The big Roman city was captured by the Dionyns in a day! This has already explained the terrible ability of the Diaonians to attack the city. Is it still harder for the Kaysera to be captured than Rome?! Not to mention you I saw it, this ship came from the north!"
"What about that! The deceitful Dionyrians are likely to let the ship deliberately circle a circle to deceive us!"
"Hey, you patronize Kaysella, didn't you listen to the people on board saying that Wei Ai was also captured by them? It took us ten years to win the love, how can the Dionians be in such a short time? Capture it, so I said that the Dionyns are cheating us!"
"If both Keslera and Wei Ai are lost, our Sutrium is in danger! Anyway, I must go back and see!"
"I will go back with you!"
......
These days of siege warfare, the Roman army suffered a lot of casualties. Camillaus used the opportunity of focusing on the entire army to mix the citizens from the colonies with the citizens of Rome, in order to conduct the battle more smoothly, so one The Roman squadron often has Roman citizens from many places.
The team of McKelius is a citizen from Victoria. When I heard these words, my face changed.
"What should the captain do?!" The soldiers panicked at McLarenus.
McKelius is also confused, although he also thinks that this may be the Devonians deceiving them, but he can't say "Don't care about them, stay and continue to fight", he hesitated for a while, mind The scene of his wife and children at the time of his family’s departure was repeated. He finally said,
Let’s go! We immediately went back to the camp, picked up our parcels, left the army, and rushed back from the upper reaches of the Tiber River. Love!"
"What if the weather is really occupied by the Diaonians?" The soldiers trembled and asked.
"That's like... just to the Dionyans... surrender..." McKays painfully squeezed this out of his mouth.
The soldiers did not say anything against it, but the look on the face was relaxed.
Not only the team of McKelius, but the soldiers of several squads are clamoring to rush back to the camp. The squadron captains from the city of Rome can't discourage and threaten them.
The previous sailboat had already sailed to the north bank, but it was not parked on the other side because the estuary had too many shoals, but it was moving forward and sliding for a while before landing. Dozens of trackers came down from the ship, hanged the ropes on the sailboats, sailed the sailors, and pulled the boats to the upper reaches of the Tiber River.
Not long after, one ship after another drove from the north, turned into the mouth of the Tiber River, along the north bank, and headed for Rome to the east.
The Roman soldiers who were still in the port saw this scene and finally no longer doubted what the Dionians had said before. They ran out of the city of Ostia and ran back to the camp, and this camp had already boiled up...
.............................................
From the doctor's mouth, he learned that his father had awakened. Luchius immediately opened the tabernacle and entered the account.
Camilles lay on the couch, staring at his eyes, staring straight at the top of the book, not knowing what was going on.
Luchius walked lightly to the front of the couch, and asked softly: "Father, are you better?!"
"Cough... I'm fine." Camillaus hoarse and mad, and then he replied, and then he immediately asked: "Now... what about the camp?"
"Well... no... no big deal, the order in the camp is still relatively stable." Lucius said perfunctorily.
Camilles turned his head, although his face was pale, but his eyes still had God: "You are my son, can you talk to me if you speak... I am lying here... I can hear the noise from outside. It can be seen... It’s obvious that something is going on... Let’s say things out, I can stand it.
"Father, the doctor said that you should pay more attention to the body to recover! The military has Titus, Quintus, Oulu, they are temporarily responsible, you don't have much worry!..." Lucius whispered Advise.
"I am the dictator of Rome! As long as I am still alive... I must be responsible for all Roman citizens... Responsible! Waiting for me to die... Some are time to rest... Keke..." Camilles slaps with his hand The couch, shouting anxiously.
Luchius saw him coughing and hurriedly said: "Don't worry! Don't worry! Take a breather~EbookFREE.me~ Listen to me slowly to tell you... This morning, we sent several Roman squadrons to search The burnt city of Ostia, the soldiers believed in the rumors spread by the Veonia vessels, saying that both Keslera and Vienne were occupied by the Diaonians-"
"Kessrella and Victoria City were captured?!" Camilles widened his eyes in horror.
"I said this is just a rumor! The walls of Kasera and Vijay are solid and the terrain is dangerous. The main force of Dionia is fighting with us. How can we capture the two city-states in such a short time!" Uss said with some anxiety at the moment: "But the stupid soldiers believed, and the rumors spread throughout the military camp. The result was not only the love of the Virgin, the Sultan, the Corsa, the colony on the north bank of the Tiber River. Soldiers also fled the camp, and even the Etruscan allies demanded to leave! Titus, Oulus, they have urgently led the army and rushed to stop..."
Camillas never imagined that the situation would become so bad. He was in a hurry, not only couldn't think of any good way, but he had a splitting headache. He held his bed with his hands and wanted to get up, but he couldn't make any effort.
"Fast!... Call the soldiers to carry me out... Go out... I will persuade them!" He was anxious to speak loudly, but the sound he spit out was very weak.
