"They all acknowledge the strength of the Dionian Legion, but because of our strength, they all hope that we can take the middle lane and connect the two wings so that they can attack with confidence and boldness." Phelicus looked at the two and said frankly: "Although I had the same idea as you before, I am also worried that Trina, Silit, and Crotone's three city-state troops that are not subordinate to each other can not be defeated by the enemy before we defeat the enemy in front of us... If they are defeated, the whole situation may form a melee, and the cavalry of Syracuse will have the opportunity to exert their strength... On the contrary, if we guard the middle lane, we can control the rhythm of our offense and defense, discover loopholes in the two wings at any time, and provide timely reinforcements..."

"In this way, we will compete with the Syracuse people for defense and consumption, and the battle will probably last a long time!" Epigenis, who was born as a light shield soldier, did not like this kind of fighting method.

"Isn't this what our legion heavy infantry is best at?" Dracos seemed confident: "Even if the legion is placed in the middle, I believe our legion can still penetrate the enemy's middle!"

"Since you have already made a battle plan in the meeting, why are you here to ask for our opinions? Just give us orders and let us execute them!" Epigenis's words were filled with resentment.

"That was just a rough plan initially discussed." Phelis said frankly and emotionally: "I need your experience and wisdom to perfect this battle plan and get more chances for us. This is for Dionia!"

Epitens and Drax looked at each other, then leaned towards Phelisius...

After these two days of hard work, Samone, the Hilpini people expanded their camp and surrounded the city of Potentia, except to the south, because there was a Basento River. The great leader of Hilpini, Vironi, only sent people to build a few simple towers across the river to observe the movements in the city. When the pontoon bridge had been burned, he was not worried that the Potentia would cross the river and run away. If the Potentia gave up the strong blockage and chose to cross the river and flee, it was what he hoped.

However, Veroni fantasized that he could stop the Bottentians from escaping, but someone swam in the dark...

Half an hour later, the leader Valle, who was in charge of defending the city, came to the mansion of the chief.

How could Puamot fall asleep peacefully? When he heard Valle coming to see him, he thought that there was something big about the Potendias outside the city. He immediately met Valle in the living room, and then listened to the excited report of the leader: "The messenger of Dionia asked for a visit!"

"Printors, the company captain of the Dionia Mountains, greeted the great leader of Puammot!" When Printors, who was wet, saluted Puammot, the great leader asked anxiously: "Master Davers is in Poseidonia... in Poseidonia... how... how is it?!"

"This morning, Lord Davers led the First, Second and Third Legions to annihilate Samonet's reinforcements and defenders!" Printols replied straightforwardly.

"Great! It's so good!!" Puamot was so excited that he couldn't help himself and asked anxiously: "Can Lord Davers lead the army to Potendia tomorrow?"

Instead of answering directly, Printols took a small waterproof leather tube from his neck and pulled out a roll of paper from it: "This is the letter from Lord Davers to me to give you to the chief."

Puamot hurriedly took it, opened it and then looked solemn: "Go and call Pollet!"

Staying in the backyard all day, Polet, who was so anxious that he learned that the Dionian army had defeated the Samonets in Poseidonia. When he saw Davers' secret letter, his reaction was different from Puamot, and he was already eager to try: "Mr. Davers asked us to cooperate with your mountain reconnaissance team to disrupt the enemy camp tonight to support the arrival of the army tomorrow!"

Printols looked calm and said with a bright look: "Before going up the mountain, I specifically observed the Samonet camp. The continuous escape of the defeated soldiers made the camp very confused, and half of my brothers pretended to be defeated soldiers and mingled in... Now, I have a better idea!"

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

The Hilpini people were ready to take everything they needed to siege the city, and waited for the troops who were rescued in Posedonia to return and take action together, and ate the fish in the net of Potendia.

That night, Veroni fell asleep peacefully early.

"Father! Father!!" Gerney suddenly broke into the big tent and woke him up.

"What happened?" Veroni opened his loose eyes and looked at his son standing in front of him in a daze. Then he said in panic: "What happened! The reinforcements we sent to Poseidonia were... annihilated by the Dionians!!"

"What?!!" Veroni's sleepiness was scared away: "How is this possible?!! We sent more than 20,000 Pentney, Kauteni warriors, Tolek, and Quindok were all generals with great combat experience!...unless...unless..." When he thought of a possibility, his breathing suddenly became rapid.

"The reinforcements from Turiy have arrived in Poseidonia, but they quietly ambushed..." Gerney told his father all the things he heard from the soldiers who fled back.

After hearing his son's words, Veroni felt cold in his hands and feet. He sat back on the bed, his mind was in a mess.

After a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Have both Tolek and Quinke escaped?"

"I heard that the great leader Tolek died in battle, but there was no news about Quinok..." Gerney looked depressed.

A sense of sadness suddenly arose in Veroni's heart, but it was not the time to be sad. He immediately asked again: "How many soldiers have Pentney and Kauteni fled back?"

"How can we count in the dark night? Anyway, there are soldiers constantly fleeing into the camp from several directions..." After Gerney said that, he asked anxiously: "Father, what should we do now?"

The bad news came too suddenly. Veroni was in a state of confusion. How could he come up with any way? Just as he lowered his head and pondered, there was a noise outside the tent, and the sound became louder and louder, especially clear at night.

"The reinforcements we sent to Poseidonia were defeated!"

"The reinforcements from Dionia are coming, with a total of 50,000 or 60,000 people. We are going to be surrounded!"

"Escape quickly, brothers of Hillpini!"

...

"Not good!" Veroni jumped up in shock and rushed to the outside of the tent: I saw that the camp that was supposed to be quiet at night was boiling at this moment. The soldiers were at a loss, and they all came out of the tents naked one after another, and began to panic and shout with others, walking around...

Veroni saw people everywhere in the camp... The first time the Samonets organized such a huge army and fought for such a long war (calculated from the time of gathering forces), so Veroni had not experienced such a big chaotic scene. Of course, he didn't know what "camp roar" was, but he instinctively felt the danger and immediately criticized Gerny: "When these defeated soldiers fled back, you should isolate them to avoid affecting the morale of our soldiers! Now you immediately return to your own tribe, maintain the order of your own tribe, and let the soldiers stay in the camp and not come out!"

Gerney left in a hurry.

Veroni urgently called his personal guards, held torches in his hands, and informed the leaders of Lesguk, Lucini and others, and ordered them to do their best to restrain their troops.

Only then did Veroni realize that there was no good plan when building the camp site before. The distance between the tribes was relatively long, and the tents were too dense and disorderly. The passages between them were narrow and curved. It was okay during the day, but it was easy to cause blockage when panic at night...

He could only guard outside the tent, surrounded by hundreds of personal guards, hoping that the leaders of various tribes could play a role. After the commotion in the camp was slightly calmed down, he threw the personal guards into the camp to maintain order. He suspected that there were enemies in the camp taking the opportunity to make trouble.

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

At this time, outside the bustling camp of Samone, under the hills where the city of Potendia was located, Pollet led a thousand soldiers to lurk quietly...

"Can we attack?" Pollet looked at the Samonet camp, which was so close to him, and he asked Printols next to him anxiously.

The company captain of the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, the executor who once tricked into Aspresum, was extremely calm at this moment and said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute."

"Wait! What are you waiting for?!" If it weren't for the speaker's Dionia team officer holding the Daversmith order, Pollet would have already taken action.

Printols seemed to be unable to hear the urging and annoyance in Pollet's words, and kept looking at the camp ahead with concentration and whispering: "Wait for the fire to rise."

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

Veroni stood in the tent and saw a dark camp where torches had already been lit. It seemed that the leaders of the tribes had begun to take action.

But he observed for a while and found that the situation was not well contained.

At night, the strong mountain wind whistled not only did not cover up the noise of the camp, but instead made his body feel cold. When he wanted to go back to the tent and put on the wolf-skinned robe, a louder sound came from the camp again: "It's on fire! It's on fire!..."

Fire! Veroni's heart trembled suddenly. He looked forward. It was still pitch black in front of him, but his heart was sinking. Then he turned back: a fire flashed from the distance behind the big tent, which was where the Samones stored their food and supplies!
