After listening to Crotokatax's words, Yassitus was silent for a while, his expression cleared a little, but he still said with concern: "I still have to react to His Majesty for the current state of the coalition, and hope that he can send reinforcements as soon as possible."

Paltrowros wanted to get more information about the Gauls while preparing for it and waiting for the best fighter to appear.

However, Etruscans changed suddenly. After a few days of Florentia's fall, the area where many people thought it would not be attacked by the Gauls, the city of Aretium, was also raided by the Gauls.

The territory where Aretium is located is not bordered by the Gauls, but is adjacent to the Umbria. It has always been peaceful before, and it has only begun to be attacked by the Gauls in the past two years. According to their understanding, the northern part of the Umbria has also begun to be invaded by the Gauls. Some Gaul tribes flew through the Umbria border area to the territory of Aretium to loot. After all, Aretium is much richer than the Umbria.

Originally, the Military Affairs Department of Dionys did not intend to build a military camp in this area because the Gaul activities here were not rampant. However, Aretium is one of the twelve Etruscan confederates and the central town in the eastern part of the Etruscan Union. Under the active activities of the Aretium people (which actively allocated a lot of land to Dionys), the Military Affairs Department of Dionys finally decided to build a military camp not far northwest of the Aretium territory.

Of course, this was not entirely convinced by the Aretiums, but after careful consideration, Davers believed that it would be beneficial to the Kingdom of Dionys to take advantage of the opportunity to defend against the Gauls and obtain the land here, so as to strengthen contacts with the Umbria in the east and enhance friendship.

In fact, over the past year, the Dionian border troops stationed here have cooperated with the Umbria many times across borders to repel the Gauls who came to attack and won the favor of the Umbria. But what they never expected was that the Gauls would divide an army and cross Umbria from the southernmost point of the territory and raid the Aretium in the rear.

Although the Dionia military camp urgently sent a messenger to inform the Aretiums, it was not disturbed by the Gauls for more than a year because it was protected by the Dionia military camp for a long time. The previous attack by the Etruscan city-state in the north did not make the Aretiums more vigilant, so it faced unexpected raids from the Gauls. However, the Aretiums performed worse than Florentia. The city quickly fell and no one in the city fled.

After the Gaul army captured Aretium, they took advantage of the situation to attack south, surrounded Curtun and Clevsin, and the forward went straight to Velzna, not far from Kesrera and Viei, the northernmost towns of the Kingdom of Dionia.

People in Rome began to panic.

Naturally, Paltrowros could not remain indifferent anymore. He soon as he assembled more than 50,000 soldiers from the coalition forces, crossed the Roman Bridge, and arrived in Viagra that night.

On the second day, the messenger from Turiy had arrived in Rome. Ascesters received an order signed by King Davers: Ascesters, the Chief Executive of the Roman Region, notified the Allies as soon as possible to send troops in accordance with the alliance to form a coalition in Rome, and the commander of the 14th Army, Paltros, was appointed as the commander-in-chief, and led the coalition forces to resist the invasion of the Gauls. Before first ensuring the security of the kingdom's territory, he tried his best to help the Etrusians. Due to the unclear situation, the Ministry of Military Affairs did not give specific instructions, and Paltros made a decision on his own based on the changes in the enemy situation. In addition, the Ministry of Military Affairs had notified the 12th Army in the eastern part of Campania (the barracks in Abelah) to Rome today and be under the command of Patros. At the same time, Ascesters also asked Ascesters to provide logistical support for the coalition and report the changes in the war to the palace at any time.

After reading the letter in a complicated mood, Asistes handed the order back to the messenger and said in a deep voice: "Please tell your Majesty that I will firmly implement his instructions! The commander of the Paltrowcross Legion has led his army north. You should be able to see him in Viagra now."

When the messenger heard this, he bid farewell to Asistes and immediately rode his horse to chase north. When he arrived at Viagra, Paltrox had already led his army to set off again.

The northern coalition forces of Dionia arrived at Lovi (novi, a small Etruscan town) at dusk. It was less than twenty miles away from Wolsena. The Gauls who were besieging Wolsena were shocked to learn that the enemy reinforcements suddenly appeared. They quickly withdrew the encirclement and sent a stunner to investigate, and reported that: "The enemy reinforcements are numerous and countless camps have been built."

This Gallic army, as a vanguard, had a small number of people. Seeing that the opponent was crowded with people, they did not dare to launch a blind attack, but instead retreated northward.

On the second day, when they learned that reinforcements had arrived, the Wolsena, who threatened to be lifted, came to Lovi with a large amount of labor supplies, expressed their gratitude to the coalition forces, and invited the coalition forces to station near Wolsena.

After inspecting the surrounding terrain, Patrocros steadily refused and ordered the army to build a military camp near the city of Lovie.

One day later, the Gauls' army appeared again in Wolsena's territory, and by the second day it increased to more than 30,000 people, surrounding the city again.

The Dionian coalition troops stationed in the south did not make any noise. Instead, the Gaul army took the initiative to come to the Dionian coalition camp and launched an attack on it.

Although the camp was not completely built, Patroclus was in a stable command, and the coalition soldiers had the advantage of defense, and the number of people was greater than that of the other side. Therefore, despite the brave fighting, the Gaul soldiers were still repelled until dusk, which made the soldiers of the Dionian coalition, especially the soldiers of the Allied States, more confident.

Although the Dionian coalition won a small victory, it quietly retreated the next morning, leaving only an empty camp that had finally been initially built.

After the Gauls determined that the enemy had retreated, they began to think that the enemy won by chance yesterday, but in fact they were frightened by their attack, and gave up their reinforcements to Wolsena because of fear.

In the following days, the Gauls set out to attack the city of Wolsena, but the provoys they sent out did not find any trace of the reinforcements of the Dionians nearby.

Gradually, the Gauls became more convinced of their previous thoughts: the army of Dionia seemed to be large in number, but they were timid and timid, so they probably had already hid back to Rome.

So, they began to attack Wolsena with confidence and boldness.

The attack for several days made the city of Walsena shaking, and was about to be broken. The Walsena cursed the untrustworthy Dionians while praying for the blessing of the gods.

Perhaps prayer played a role, and in the early morning of the fifth day, the previously disappeared Dionian coalition suddenly appeared again and quickly approached the Gaulian camp.

At this time, most of the Gaul soldiers were too tired from siege for days and slept soundly in the camp. They learned that the Dionian coalition forces suddenly came to attack, and the camp was in chaos.

Paltrowros used 20 crossbows to bombard the barrier set up by the simple Gaul camp - a wooden fence. The Dionian coalition, with the 14th and 12th Legion (just arrived from Campania) as the main force of the attack, quickly crossed the not-wide trench and fought fiercely with the Gauls in the camp.

Although the Gallics fought bravely and were threatening to swing the big sword in their hands, their lineup was not complete and their organization was chaotic. They did not have much threat to the heavy helmets and armor, covering each other, and tacitly cooperated with the Dionian army.

On the contrary, the main force of the Dionian coalition was like an iron wall, slowly moving forward, while constantly killing the Gauls, it also put a lot of psychological pressure on them.

In addition, at this time the Dionian coalition's strength was almost twice that of the Gauls, but Paltrox did not send the Allied troops from the beginning. Instead, after the two legions and the reserve soldiers attracted the Gauls from the front, they ordered the Allied soldiers to break in from both sides of the barracks and attack the Gauls.

After more than an hour of fierce fighting, the Dionian coalition almost formed an encirclement of the Gauls in the camp, and the Gauls had to turn around and escape, desperately fighting for a path of blood.

Patroclus immediately ordered: the coalition cavalry, light infantry and light armored soldiers who had been raising their strength to pursue them with all their might.

The coalition forces chased and fought fiercely until dark, and they stopped their troops, killed, killed and captured countless Gauls.

On the 2nd, the Wolsena, who learned that the Gauls were defeated, were ecstatic and immediately threw away their previous resentment towards the Dionians and once again brought a large amount of military supplies to the coalition camp. Unexpectedly, Paltrox had led the army to leave.

The defeated Gauls were divided into two parts: part of them fled to Aretium in the northeast and part of them fled to the northwest.

Paltrox assigned 10,000 prepared soldiers to chase the Gauls who fled to Aretium, and he personally led nearly 50,000 coalition soldiers and marched northwest.

During the period of time when he was stationed in Camp Lovi, in addition to strengthening the camp, Paltrox also sent a mountain reconnaissance team and a scout team to conduct detailed investigations on the activities of the Gauls throughout the Etruscan region.

Therefore, after defeating Wolcena's Gaul army, Patrocros immediately led the main force and headed straight to Fofruna's territory, because the main force of the Gauls was occupied here.

Fofruna is the richest city-state in northwestern Etruscans, so it became the focus of the incoming Gauls' attack. However, because the Fofruna people learned about their miserable experience from the Florentian people who had fled, they learned from it, and the gates were closed early to strengthen their defense. In addition, the city of Fofruna is located in a special location. It is built on the cape and has only a narrow isthmus connected to the land.
