Although Davers was in a good mood, he did not joke with the man who was serious, but said seriously: "Your Third Legion is located in the two towns of Niutum and Grummentum, which are important forces to stabilize the Lucania region. When Dionia fights the Brutis, will Picosis and Potendia take the opportunity to provoke a war and retake Grummentum?"

What Davers said aroused Sesta and Hironimus's thoughts.

After a while, Sironimus said dejectedly: "Sir, do you mean to let the Third Legion garrison on the spot to prevent the invasion of Picosis and Potendia?"

"It's not just defense." Davers smiled softly and said in a deep voice: "If they dare to tear up the peace agreement, then Dionia will dare to take Picosis and Potendia while conquering Bruti!"

War started on both sides?! Sesta and Hironimus looked at each other, and while marveling at the young consul's superhuman courage, they couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Don't forget, Elia." Davers reminded.

"What role can Elia's strength play?" Sesta disagreed.

However, Hironimus, who had been through the battle for a long time, suddenly thought of something in Davers' smile and was excited: "Sir, I will discuss with Butler how to seduce them."

"When I see Avinogis, I will also ask him to use their port, and I believe he will agree." Davers smiled.

"Sir Avinogis, you haven't seen each other for two months, and you seem to have gained a lot of weight again." Davers said half-jokingly in the face of the consul of Laus who came to greet him.

Avinogis smiled and patted his big belly with a clear bulge: "Who said Dionia is so amazing! With your fart protection, everything is developing well in Laus. I don't need to worry about anything. The only thing that makes me worry is what new food has been made in your wife's restaurant. Can I taste it first!"

Davers looked at his trembling fat face and couldn't help but remind him: "I suggest you don't eat too much of your diet every meal, and try to reduce your weight as much as possible, which will be good for your health."

Avinogis remembered something, slapped his head with his right hand and said, "Oh, I almost forgot that you are a magical doctor! Since you say that, I will try to control my weight gain."

"Thank you for your trust in me." Davers heard his meaning. He was trying to control his weight rather than lower it. Obviously he was not very concerned about his body.

When I first met Avinogis, his strong body has now grown a circle, but all the fat was added. Look at Alobmas next to him, but his body is thinner than a year ago. I heard that Avinogis has handed over most of the administrative affairs of the city-state to his younger brother. People, once they lose their sense of crisis, lose their goals, and learn to greed for pleasure, it is difficult to cheer up again... Davers sighed in his heart.

"Mr. Davers, this... this Second Legion of Dionia seems... something is wrong!" Arbomas said loudly in confusion as he watched the army marching past them with a high flag.

"Brother, I heard that the army of Dionia is replacing new weapons and equipment recently, of course it is different from before!" Avinogis interrupted Arobumas and ordered his brother: "The war with Bruti is about to begin. You immediately block the port and all passages outside the city, and prohibit anyone from entering and leaving!..."

Davers nodded. After all, Avinogis was the leader of the descendants of Sobaris who had seized the opportunity and dared to unite with Dionia and overthrow the Lucanian rule. Although his body had changed significantly, his mind was still clear, with a very keen sense of military smell and extremely fast political reaction. He almost did not require Davers to complete all the deployment.

The rapid military horn sounded, and the soldiers quickly retreated down the hillside. Stones and wood chased them and rolled down. When some soldiers were unfortunately hit, their nearby teammates rushed forward to support them, and screams rang out from time to time...

Capps, who saw this scene at the foot of the mountain, looked gloomy and couldn't help but sigh: "This kind of terrain is too bad for us, and the legion's advantages cannot be exerted at all."

"The attack these days is not in vain. At least I took down a camp of the enemy and pushed our offensive line here." Antonios comforted him and said.

"That was not what we seized, but the Brutis took the initiative to evacuate. Until now, we have not even seen the enemy, but our brothers have suffered more than 300 casualties!" Capps said with heartache.

"There are mainly trauma and fractures. After treatment in the medical camp, most of them can return to normal, and not many people die. This is already very good. There are no undead people in war, like when we were in Persia..." Antonios continued to comfort him.

"But, brothers were not killed in battle with the enemy. This way of death was too frustrating! The guide said that Wigg City is still five or six miles away from here! Five or six miles! It has always been such a difficult mountain road! I'm afraid that when we arrived at Wigg City, our people would be dead!" Amintas shouted irritably: "When will the Second Legion start to act?! There has been no movement for so long! If I had known this was the case, Capps, you should have strongly asked our First Legion to carry out that mission!"

"Who told us that our First Legion is so famous that if we don't attack here, how could we convince the Brutis that this is the focus of our offensive. Only in this way can we attract all the main forces of the Brutis!" Alexis said calmly and admirably: "Only the commander dares to do this! Who would have thought that we would attack Vig City at the risk of sacrificing the precious lives of citizens just to mobilize the enemy!"

"Shh!" Capps made a gesture alertly, looked around and whispered: "I hope the Second Legion can successfully complete the mission and don't let our brothers sacrifice in vain!"

"Chief, the Greeks retreated!"

Hearing the excited report from his subordinates, Saru was not only not happy, but was a little disappointed: "The Dionians ran as fast as rabbits. If they crossed the mountain ridge and pushed down the stones stored on the mountain road together, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to, and more people would die!"

"Don't worry, as long as they are still ready to continue attacking Vig City, there are more opportunities!" Sedolum stood up and praised: "We have resisted the enemy for three days! Dionia sent the first legion, which they claimed to be the "strongest army" to attack. Not only did they not make any progress, but many soldiers were killed or injured! Saru, you did a good job!"

"If this situation continues, we will be able to prevent the Dionians from reaching the city of Vig within a month!" Saru said confidently: "Big leader, I think we can deal with these Greeks by ourselves and let the Cosenza go back. They occupy our house, eat our food, and don't have to participate in the battle. The soldiers are very angry!"

"The Kosenza people mainly eat the food they bring. We have joined forces with the Kosenza people now, and there are still many opportunities to fight together in the future. You must start getting used to it and persuade our soldiers not to complain too much." Sedorum said patiently to him: "What's more, from the current situation, the Dionians have not tried their best yet. They should still be adapting to the terrain here. You must know that they have a unit composed of Lucanians and Lausian troops. They have not seen them yet. We cannot underestimate the enemy! Have you forgotten how the Lucanian tribal alliance attacked our city!"

"I haven't forgotten!" Saru clenched his fists.

"Yesterday, news came from Knapetia that the Greeks there attempted to attack from the path, but fortunately they were discovered in time, so they repelled. We must also be wary of the Lucanians coming around from the mountains, but it is precisely because of the large army of Kosenza guarding the city that we can feel at ease and boldly fight with the enemy here." Sedorum continued to persuade.

Saru nodded silently.

"The later the Dionians arrive at Vig City, the faster their morale will decline, the greater the food consumption will be, and the more we have the chance to defeat them! By then, the glory of the Brutis will come!..." It was originally intended to persuade and inspire Saru, but as he spoke, Sedorum himself couldn't help but be excited.

The sunset is almost set behind the mountain, and the earth gradually falls into darkness.

The grazing mountain people drove cattle and sheep home early, and the children who ran wildly in the mountains during the day were also called home by their parents because in the dark, the mountains were the world of wild beasts.

The wilderness outside Bissinia is no longer inhabited. Occasionally, the howls of wild wolves were heard. Only the Krati River roared for a day, and when it was a quiet dusk, the sound of the waves became even more grand. This has been the case for thousands of years. The residents of Bissinia have long been used to it, and they feel that the louder the waves, the more they show the protection of the Krati River to them, so they all fall asleep peacefully with the sound of the waves.

But they didn't know that on the other side of the river, in the dense woods, thousands of Dionys soldiers were moving. The sound of the river "wow, wow..." covered all the sounds they made.

There are steep cliffs on both sides of the upper reaches of the Krati River, but not all of them are. There is a river beach about ten meters long in front of the valley in Bissinia. Bissinians often come here to draw water and wash clothes. On the other side of the river beach, there is a gentle slope that can go down to the riverside. The rugged rocks on the riverside can accommodate ten people.
