"But--" Secrean touched his nose: "Since you are about to take away the First Legion, which has been training the 'new tactics' for several months with us, I still need to retrain this tactic with the newly built legion soldiers, but it won't take much time. I believe that I will soon lead this brand new fleet to search for the Syracuse Navy to fight to the decisive battle. I believe that the Syracuse Navy will be shocked!"

Seclian seemed full of energy and was obviously confident in the new tactics.

Davers shook his head gently in his heart and reminded him earnestly: "Seclian, even if you defeated the fleet of Syracuse somewhere in the Ionian Sea, our warships will inevitably be damaged. The soldiers who fell into the water need to be rescued, the damaged warships need to be repaired, and the captured warships also want to be dragged back... You have so many aftermaths to complete, but you have to know that there is more than one fleet in Syracuse, if--" Davers stressed his tone: "What should I do when you are busy when the enemy reinforcements appear?!"

Seeing that Seclian was eager to explain, Davers reached out to stop him and continued, "Even if the enemy reinforcements did not appear, it would not be easy for you to do these aftermaths. Our fleet only has this one. I hope it will grow stronger and stronger as the battle is, rather than weaker as the battle becomes. So I suggest you arrange the first naval battle in..."

After listening to Davers' detailed plan, Secklelian said convincedly: "I understand, sir! I will follow your plan!... But now I have one thing I need your help, otherwise it will affect the preparations for the Navy."

"What's up?"

"With the arrival of warships from other allies, our dry docks are not enough."

This is a problem! Davers thought for a while and said, "I will ask Lord Kunogorata to speed up the construction of more dry docks on both sides of the Krati River from Turiy to the estuary of the sea, and establish naval bases to meet your needs!"

The Third Legion of Dionia arrived at the Pinio Valley. The Pinio River is a tributary of the Basento River, the largest river flowing through the city of Potendia. Although it is just a small river, it is enough to meet the water needs of a legion. Moreover, the land in the valley is soft, the water plants are lush, and the sides are steep and unclimbing mountains, which is a good place to camp. Therefore, Alexis chose to build a camp at the opening of the valley entrance.

The soldiers of the entire army unpacked their luggage and just started digging the trench, the reconnaissance captain Krigoro hurried to report: "Legislative Commander, brothers found the Samones five miles north of the north, rushing towards here, with about 20,000 people!"

More than 20,000 people! Alexis was shocked: The Samones came so quickly and so many people came, which was really beyond his expectations. From this, you can also feel the ferocity of the Samones and the desire to avenge him was very strong.

Alexis looked at the undigged trench in front of him with regret. If he gave him two or three hours more, the Third Legion could build a crude camp, and then he would have the strength to compete with the coming Samones!

"Retreat!" He gave the order decisively.

What?! The messenger thought he had heard it wrong.

"Retreat now!!" Alexis shouted again.

After the trumpet was blown, Litoru arrived.

"Captain of the Legion, why did he retreat as soon as he arrived at the campsite?! Could it be that the soldiers of the Si Hu heard the order wrongly, right?!" Litoru asked in his tone.

"He is right. More than 20,000 Samonet soldiers are rushing towards us. We cannot fight against the Samonet people who have twice the strength of ours without building a good camp and the brothers are extremely exhausted. We can only retreat first and then look for fighter jets." Facing the first captain, Alexis explained a few more words in order to show respect.

"Retreat before fighting, it is too bad for morale! The soldiers and the people of Dionia will think that we are timid and afraid of death! We will not be able to raise our heads in front of other legions!" Litoru retorted dissatisfiedly: "And I think that even if 9,000 people versus 20,000 people, our legion can withstand the enemy's attack and defeat them!"

"Mr. Davers once said that the Samonets were quite fierce. Even if we could defeat them, we would destroy the Third Legion. Do we still want to participate in the future battle? More importantly, this will affect Master Davers' next plan!" Alexis held back his anger and explained a few more words.

"I think it is what Lord Davers wants to repel the enemy's attack here and build a camp!" Litoru retorted without showing any weakness.

"Execute the order!" Alexis decided not to argue with him anymore. The Dionia Second Law emphasized military discipline: during the war, subordinates must absolutely obey superiors.

Litoru glared at Alexis in anger, but in the end he chose to obey, which also shows that Litoru has left the level of tribal warriors and has become a qualified general of Dionia.

He reluctantly saluted, and when he turned back, he deliberately said loudly: "If Lord Hironimus was still the commander of the legion, he would never retreat!"

Alexis seemed to have never heard of his angry words. He now had to think about how to retreat safely.

The city of Potendia is located on the upper reaches of the Basento River. The ground is relatively flat, but the terrain is higher and should be regarded as a small plateau, while the city is built on a huge and gentle hillside.

The Potantia spent decades building a big city with stones. Now Puamot and the tribal leaders are worried about the dynamics of the Samones outside the city every day on the walls.

"Big leader, look, the Samonets army is heading south!" Shasidat said loudly, pointing to the dusty and fog outside the city, where the noisy and noisy distance was everywhere.

Puamot's heart moved, so he shouted excitedly: "The tribesmen, it should be the reinforcements from Dionia!"

This sentence immediately made all the leaders and soldiers excited: the powerful Dionians came to rescue them!

This good news immediately relieved a lot of their worries these days.

"Did we send troops to pick them up?" a leader said excitedly.

"No!" Puamot refused him without hesitation and said cautiously: "The only thing we can do now is to try our best to defend the city and wait for the arrival of Dionia's reinforcements!"

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The Samones rushed to the Piño Valley and saw only a miles-long, unfinished ring-shaped ditch.

"The Dionians were as timid as rabbits, and they actually ran away!" Lesguk gasped and pierced the spear in his hand into the soil with regret.

"Father, most of the Dionians are heavy infantrymen and should not escape far. We should take this opportunity to chase them and defeat them!" Gerny, who was eager to take revenge, said anxiously to the leader of Hillpini.

Of course, Veroni was not willing to come in vain, so he immediately ordered the troops to continue pursuing.

The resolute Samonets were soon ambushed by the Third Legion Light Infantry Brigade. After hundreds of casualties, they were unable to catch these equipment more lightweight. Even if Veroni was angry, he had to become cautious.

Therefore, the Third Legion was finally able to escape from the pursuit of the Samones and entered a military camp at the junction of Grummentum and Potendia in the evening.

When he set out from Grummentum yesterday, he only exposed his foot in the Pautiya area, and was forced to return to Grummentum, Alexis and the soldiers of the Third Army Tu were also a little depressed.

Poseidonia, a coastal city not far north of Elia (not the city of Poseidonia in the Aegean Sea), was a colonial city built by the Sobaris. It was once famous for its roses and three goddess temples in Italy (two temples of Hera and one temple of Athena). However, the Lucanians moved south a hundred years ago, which made this Greek city-state eventually fall under the years of continuous attack by the Lucanians and became a town in the alliance of the Potantia tribes.

For decades, Poseidonia has not been invaded by any invasion. Elia to the south is still difficult to protect itself, and there is no force to attack others; while the Samones in the north prefer mountains and would rather invade the city of Potendia, which has stronger strength and stricter defense, than to wander around the seaside. Therefore, when the Lucanians in Poseidonia learned that the Samones attacked Potendia in large quantities, they did not show much concern about the safety of the city, and only took a little precaution, but focused more on discussing the issue of "how many soldiers should be sent to reinforce Potendia."

However, today, the sentries on the city tower sounded the alarm.

When the leaders and soldiers climbed the city wall one after another, they were stunned: the Samones outside the city were densely filled with people, and they could not see at first sight, and I don’t know how many people were...

The great leader of Pentney, Tolek, stood in front of the formation and looked at the small city ahead. He saw the panic and shouting of the Lucanians on the wall, but he didn't care much about it. Instead, he turned around and said to his subordinates: "What are the names of the aircraft sent by the Syracuse people?"

"The big leader is called a crossbow." A leader beside him reminded.

"I understand, you don't need to say more." Tolek glared at his eyes and said, "Raise the crossbow...the crossbow cannon and let's see how powerful this thing is!"

The six crossbows were placed in front of the formation, but the Syracuses were manipulating them.

The shot put as the size of a double fist hit the Poseidonian walls, adding to the panic of the Lucanians...
