"There is a situation, and it is a big situation!" Bagule said excitedly and seriously.

"Let me tell me." Alexis was about to listen carefully.

But Bagule first kept his hands in a snatch. He pulled Alexis down and then asked his men to bring the newly cured high-quality beef jerky and beer (since Davers invented this cured beef jerky as military rations, it has gradually been loved by citizens and has become a delicious snack for the people of Dionia, like dried figs and dates): "I usually go to your barracks to disturb you. Today you have a rare trip to Grummentum. In return, I have to treat you well, let's drink and talk."

What Bagule said was the truth. The camp of the Third Legion was built between Pikosis, Grummentum and Niutum. Of course, Alexis, the current Third Legion commander, could no longer stay in Turiyi like the former Legion commander Hironimus (the system was not perfect at that time). During his term as the commander of the Legion, he had to live in the camp. Of course, the construction in the camp was not simple, but more like a militarized town. Although Bagule had stepped down from his military post, he still ran to the camp every few days when he had free time to participate in military training and military competitions... After a while, he became friends with Alexis.

Alexis also knew his generous personality, so he didn't refuse at the moment. He grabbed a piece of beef and chewed it and said, "What's the big deal?"

"The Samones gathered a large army on the border of Potendia, and it is said that there are at least 20,000 people!" Bagule said excitedly.

Twenty thousand people! Alexis was shocked, put down the jerky in his hand and asked anxiously: "Are you sure the Samones are going to attack Porchtia?!"

"The messengers of Potendia have come to me for help, and there is still a fake!" Bagule took a sip of beer and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Puamot, the stubborn old man who usually doesn't like to pay attention to us Dionians this time, I really can't sit still. After the messenger of Potendia has just asked for help from me, he hurried to Turiyi..."

"Bagul, this matter must be taken seriously, especially at the critical moment when we declare war on Lokri!" Alexis said in a deep voice. He was obviously considering the problem deeper than Baguul. Before he took office, Davers solemnly reminded him: the Third Legion's headquarters was set up in the Lucania region. The current task is to stabilize the situation in Lucania and clear the shovels against Dionia, but the future goal is the Samonets in the north. This is a strong and terrible race, and you must not take it lightly!

"I must go back immediately now, summon the soldiers of the Third Legion to prepare for combat, and at the same time send soldiers from the Mountain Reconnaissance Team to investigate the military strength of the Samones and inform Lord Davers as soon as possible." As he said that, Alexis immediately stood up.

As a man who lived in southern Lucania since childhood, Bagule did not have a deep impression of the Samonets. In addition, the successive victory of the Dionian Legion in recent years, it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant and underestimated the enemy. But seeing Alexis so cautious, he also took it seriously: "Do you want the citizens of the Legion Reserve to be prepared?"

"Of course! I have a bad premonition. This is probably a big battle!" Alexis said with a serious expression.

"Well, a big battle!" Bagule responded, with more excitement on his face.

"Sir! Lord Davers! Martius is awake! Martius is awake!..." Helps shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the living room.

"Really?!" Davers, who was talking to little Heraclid, stood up with a look of surprise.

"As you said before, 'The venom is separated from the mother body (referring to poison), and exposed to the outside for a long time, the toxicity may be reduced...'. It seems that this is true. Martius' awakening is a good example!" No wonder Herps is so excited. Most of the land in Dionia is in mountainous areas, and people are bitten by snakes and insects every year. Turiyi Hospital has no good treatment for this. At most, it is to clean up, bandage the wound, and use some medicines to nourish the body, which mainly relies on the patients themselves to cure it. This time, under the prompt from Davers, the hospital carefully cared for Martius and finally saw the results, providing them with valuable experience and confidence in the future treatment of snake injuries and other poison bites.

Davers was not in the mood to discuss medical issues with him at this moment, and asked urgently: "How is Martius's situation now?"

"Oh, he woke up, and could open his eyes and move, but he was weak in his limbs and had some difficulty speaking. Now he could only lie on the hospital bed. It seems that it will take some time to recover."

"Take me to see him," Davers said, and pulled Helps out.

"Sir, are you still going to see the construction of the Salachino River Stone Bridge today?" Little Heraclid asked hurriedly.

"Didn't you just set up the piers? I'll go and see them when you lay the bridge deck?" Davers waved his hand and said apologetically.

"Okay." Little Heraclid understood how much Martius' awakening had on Davers, so he could only follow Davers out of his mansion, but happened to run into Rodolm, the captain of the guard sent by the Senate.

"Mr. Davers! There are two more! The Senate notifies you to go for an emergency meeting!"

"What happened?!" Davers asked hurriedly when he saw Rodom's nervous look.

"Potendia asked us for help and said, 'The Samones are ready to invade Potendia in a large-scale manner!'"

The Samones attacked Potendia at this time? Davers was shocked. The news was like a jar of cold water that wiped out the joy in his heart.

……………………………………………………………………

The Senate had a fierce debate on whether to send a large number of reinforcements to rescue Potendia."

Supporters believe that Potendia is an alliance of Dionia. According to the covenant and morality, Dionia must provide assistance! Moreover, although the Lucanian region has been governed for nearly five years, the Dionian Union's rule over it is not very stable. If the Samonets rush into the area dominated by Dionia, it will inevitably cause turmoil in this area again. Dionet should repel the Samonets as soon as possible before going to war with Locre and even Syracuse to avoid two-sided battles.

Opponents believed that the Lucania region had Potendia's own army, the Third Corps stationed, and Elia, an ally. The gathering of troops was more than enough to deal with the Samones and no more reinforcements were needed. When Dionia was about to fight against Locre and Syracuse, it was not advisable to draw troops north, but instead put the troops in his territory empty.

Davers did not make the final decision, and he was very confused: the power of the Samones was touched by his previous history. This mountain race continued to fight with the booming Rome for decades, defeating the Romans many times, and allowing them to endure the "hode gate humiliation"... Davers did not think that the Third Legion and the army of Potentia could handle it alone. Before the flames ignited and turned into fire, they should try their best to put out them.

But before the war with Locre, a large-scale invasion of the Samonets occurred. He said that it had nothing to do with Dionysius, but he didn't believe it. He thought he had designed a trap and waited for Dionysius to jump, but he didn't expect that Dionysius directly instigated the Samonets to launch an attack from the north, making Dionysius difficult to deal with. Before he fought at Syracuse, he felt Dionysius's difficulty. This was a terrible opponent! He wanted to start looking at the tyrant of Syracuse who taught him a lesson.

But now he was sure that Syracuse was determined to fight against Dionia, but he was worried that the Syracuse tyrant had any help. He was more vigilant about this, which was one of the main reasons why he did not make a rash decision.

Davers returned home with great worries. Before he could drink water, he learned that Ansitanos came to visit him and hurriedly greeted him: "Sir Ansitanos, I finally waited for you back!" Davers said half-jokingly and half-expectedly.

"I have taken more roads during this period than I have taken in the previous years." Ansitanos also replied with a smile.

"That's because you walked too little in the past few years, and in the future, diplomatic activities like this will have to let you go out for more walks."

"Don't, this has delayed a lot of my time writing history books."

"Isn't it true that you can go out and explore the situation of other city-states on the spot? Your history will be written more vividly and more detailed. Herodotus traveled throughout the Mediterranean..."

The two of them entered the living room with a chat and laughter.

"Sir, the Carthage Senate rejected our request for alliance." Ansitanos said seriously after sitting down: "They even refused to sign a friendly trade treaty with us."

Davers could understand Carthage's refusal to form an alliance. After all, Carthage had just ended the war with Syracuse, and it was said that it was severely damaged and needed to be restored. Now that Dionys and Syracuse are tense, Carthage, as a neighbor, naturally could deeply feel the tension between the two and would not jump in easily. However, it was a bit strange to refuse to sign a trade treaty with Dioria! Carthage is known as rich in the Western Mediterranean for its maritime trade!

"Is Carthage so afraid of Syracuse and not want to have anything to do with us?" Davers was a little surprised.

"I have learned some things carefully in Carthage. The Margonid family, who used to occupy a dominant position in the Carthage Senate and had always had a strong interest in Sicily, lost their power because of the failure of the previous war and were forced to accept the task of building a new colonial city on the Iberian Peninsula by the Carthage Senate and moved their families. Now, the one who has the right to speak in the Senate is another big family. The patriarch is Hanno. He is not only conservative, but also prefers land compared to the ocean trade. Therefore, he put forward a slogan, 'March into the inland and allow citizens to obtain more land.'..." Ansitanos said slowly.

Does this mean that Carthage will go to war with Libya? Davers's heart moved: Compared to Syracuse, who had always let Carthage suffer defeat, although Libya has a vast territory and many tribes, it is a mess, which is much easier to deal with. Carthage has the good idea of ​​"retrieving what is lost from Sicily and recovering from Libya". However, in this way, Carthage will not provoke Syracuse.
