Vol 8 Chapter 213: Roman dinner

Under the persuasion of Zandiparis, the Campania coalition generals listened to his opinions and did not attack urgently. Instead, they followed the Dionyrian army to build a campsite in the southwest of Lola city. The reason why Zantitipis set up the camp here is because it is close to the mountains and can be used to cut down trees and build camps and siege equipment.

Also on this day, the head of the 10th Army Corps, Melishanda, led the remaining four heavy infantry squadrons to leave Ascurum under the direction of the Ministry of Military Affairs, marching north and reaching the city of Aecae. The 11th Corps of the Six Heavy Infantry Brigade meets.

The head of the 11th Army Corps, Capus, was appointed by the Military Department as the temporary commander of the army and actively prepared for the next military action.

"It’s so noisy outside, what happened?
Stolo’s wife, Konya, asked the female slave who had just entered the house.

"The hostess, they are all saying, 'Tustron surrendered to Dionia...'" The Sabino slave, with his head down, dare not let the owner see the uncontrollable joy on her face. Because these Tiansto couples are restricted at home, the female slaves who go out to the square to receive food and inquire about the news, she has learned from other populations that the status of slaves in the Kingdom of Dionia is better than in Rome. More, it is easier to get freedom, so she certainly hopes that Dionia will win in this war and let Rome be completely under the rule of Dionia.

"Tustron has fallen?! How is this possible?!" Cogna was unbelievable, because in her impression, since the destruction of the city of Albalonga by Rome, the historic city of Tustron has also been built. Because of the proximity to Lake Albalonga, I have tried many times to take the Latin Mount of the Holy Mountain as my own, and often call myself the "center of the Latin", so she feels that this proud city-state should be for the glory of the Latins. While resisting the end, I did not expect that it would not be hit, so he surrendered.

Stolo sighed aside: "Since the Tytanians have captured the city of Gaby, killing the warriors who resisted stubbornly and turning all the other prisoners into slaves, this cruel practice must have been frightened. The surrounding city-states, Rabikum, Pedum, Artena... have surrendered, and even the tibur, which is strong in the northern region, has returned to the Dionyns.

Now, tens of thousands of Dionysian soldiers are approaching the city of Tulsa, and the hostages that Tstron was originally sent to Rome have now fallen into the hands of the Diaonians (these have once followed the Roman nobles to escape to Capi). On the hills of Tolin, and later mixed in the thousands of aristocratic families, they were sent down the mountain. How could they not fall..."

After listening to it, Kony whispered in a trembling voice: "So many Latin city-states have fallen, and then... Then, will the Dionias attack Vilitre, Saturnic, Antioch?? Camilles, Titus, the Roman army they led... Can you... Can you beat them?"

Stolo is silent. Through this period of understanding, he knows that the Deonian's offense has always been carefully planned and used to be deceitful, but it is like a storm, fast and difficult! It is so true to capture the Roman city! Conquering Vai, Kasera is so! The capture of Yudi Nai, Rohmumum is so! This is especially true when defeating the Roman coalition! It took less than ten days to capture the city of Gabbi until today, and the Daonian army has been in the Latin Ocean for more than two months. In the area of ​​Mum, such a terrible conquesting ability, the Roman army of Lien Chan’s losing streak did not have a chance to take a break, and if they had a decline in morale and lack of strength, would they be able to turn defeat into victory even if they were led by Camilos? !

After watching the progress of the war for so long, after many times of sleepless nights, Stolo has been desperate for this. He also found that the key to the rapid conquest of Latin by the Dionysian army is that they are with the Celtics. They are completely different. They have strong assimilation ability. Listen to the cheers outside the house. The Roman civilians have completely forgotten their origins and regarded themselves as a member of the Kingdom of Dionia... Hey! ......

Stolo's silence made Coonia understand. In fact, these days of observation also gave her a vague answer. When the worry was affirmed, she stopped yelling, but her hands could not hold back. Looking at the corner of the clothes, the eyebrows are wrinkled and the look is uncertain.

Suddenly, she grabbed her husband's hand and said with eagerness and fear: "Stolo... or... Do you join Dionya?"

Stolo heard a shock and didn't wait for him to answer. Kony seemed to be inspired at once, clenched his hand and said anxiously: "Yes, join the Kingdom of Dionia! Only then can Let your father escape the danger of being defeated and captured! Only then will it be possible to convince my father to surrender and surrender! It is possible to convince my sister and brother-in-law to surrender!... Although we may not all live in Rome in the future, at least they... They won't be killed or become slaves..."

Stolo listened to her wife's full of worries and pleadings, and couldn't help but hold her trembling body tightly into her arms. This time he was really tempted...

................................................

Today, the people in Rome are so excited, not only because the Dionian army won one victory after another, but their hearts are more determined: Dionia’s rule in the Latin region is becoming more and more stable, the Roman nobility It is almost impossible to restore the rule in Rome, and their newly acquired land and rights will never be taken back.

Moreover, they also know that this army, which has been in the field for more than ten days, is about to return to Rome. This includes 6,000 Roman soldiers. Although it is a hard battle to attack the city of Gaby, it is followed by continuous marching and surrender. The casualties of the soldiers are not large, but in this chaotic situation, the Roman people hope to see their loved ones in front of their eyes.

Near noon, nearly 30,000 Dionysians, who were led by Princetons, arrived in Rome. King Daves led the Roman city official residence to greet him and announced: "In recognition of the soldiers’ standing for the kingdom The next feat will be a grand banquet for them at noon! And the rugby corps match will be held after the banquet!"

The soldiers heard the news, and the tiredness and rush of the past few days disappeared without a trace, and a deafening cheer broke out.

Since the establishment of Dionia, this is the first time that a banquet has been held during the war. Davers mainly considers that such a large number of Dionyrian soldiers are far away from home and continue to grow on alien land. For so long hours of scale, both physically and mentally exhausted, need to give them a chance to relax.

And now the situation in the entire Latin region has gradually become clear, and the order in the Roman city has become more stable. Davers has dared to make such a decision.

For more than a month, the Dionysian army has successively captured the city, forced down the city-state, and seized a large amount of food, livestock, and property. It is certainly not a problem to organize a banquet.

But in fact, there is no need to consume a lot of grain. The chef of Daves is the chef of the whole banquet. The dishes prepared for each soldier are quite rich: a can of steamed mutton soup, a piece of meaty and fragrant Beef, a grilled river fish smoked with herbs, a clean, sautéed cabbage, a handful of cooked chickpeas, a handful of olives and nuts, a piece of baked honey bread, and of course a can Water-mixed wine...

In preparation for this grand banquet, more than 500 fat sheep and nearly a hundred cows were slaughtered in the city of Rome. Soldiers stationed in the city these two days used fish nets to pick up thousands of fish in the Tiber River...

Soldiers from various legions enjoyed food in their military camps, and 6,000 Roman reserve soldiers did not have their own military camp. After obtaining the consent of Daves, Sextus led them to Mars Square in the northeast of Rome. Eat.

The City Hall of Rome borrowed the kitchen of nearly 100 civilian families on the Palatine Hill, hired its chef to make dishes under the guidance of Chef Daves, and the various corps of the various regiments successively dispatched personnel to the parade in order. Tini Mountain comes to collect food.

A long strip of dragons stretched from the Palatine Hill to the city, and the scene was spectacular.

King Daves took Croto Kataks and, under the guard of the escort, went to the military camps of the various legions to attend the celebration party. Every time he went to a military camp, he would carry a glass of wine, walk to the soldiers, talk to them cordially, and let Croto Catax replace him ~EbookFREE.me~ toast the outstanding team officers and soldiers To encourage.

Until then, all the Legionnaires really knew that the young man who was standing behind the king, who was silent, the young man who led the team in the last moment of the battle between the Guadi and the Gabi attack was not the team officer of the Palace Guard. But the prince of the Kingdom of Dionia!

The soldiers were amazed and more fond of this gentle-minded young man, who toasted him. Klotok Katax was also a comer. After waiting for the various military camps, he had walked and swayed, drunk. Even again.

Davers had to let the guards help him back to the room to rest.

Finally, Daves and his entourage came to Mars Square, and Sexus welcomed the arrival of King Davers with his team officers.

As a result, Daves suggested that he would stay and dine with the Roman civilian soldiers who had just joined the Kingdom of Dionia.

Not only the team officers, but even Sexus, who is familiar with Daves, was surprised. Before he refused to find a reason, Davers had gone straight to the soldiers and sat without hesitation. on the grass.
