Chapter 90 Davos' North Strategy

Speaking of this, Davers calmed down and listened carefully. It seemed that the sound outside had become much smaller. He was calm and yawned: "It seems that the battle is over. You all go to bed."

Thormid and Rodolm said goodbye and left.

"Amintas's strong desire to fight must also try his best to keep him until he fights against Syracuse..." Davers fell asleep in his murmur.

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

The next morning, Puamot and Pollett came to visit Davers.

After a friendly conversation, the two left satisfied.

Davers also looked happy and soon called the commander of the Third Legion, Alexis, and said to him: "Just just now, the great leader of Potendia came to me and took the initiative to hand over the city of Poseidonia to Dionia."

"This is so good!" Alexis said excitedly.

"Yes, I didn't expect him to make such a decisive decision. Although many Lucanians despise Puamot, saying that he is neither brave nor smart as Akpiru nor Cincinnagar, and is a coward who only knows how to stay at home and sleep with his wife. However, the power of those two people has been destroyed, and Potendia will continue to exist! Those who can understand the general trend and follow the general trend are truly wise people. Puamot should be cut off when he is cut off, and if he can give up, it is amazing!" Davers sighed quite emotionally.

He turned to look at Alexis and continued, "I asked you to come today, and there is an important task to you."

When Alexis heard this, she immediately sat upright.

"Although the Samones were defeated, nearly 20,000 defeated soldiers fled in all directions. According to the investigation of the mountain reconnaissance team, except for three larger teams retreating to the north, the other defeated soldiers were scattered in the mountains around Pottia, suffering from hunger and disease. But their existence also hindered the plan of the various tribes of Pottia to return to their settlements. I decided to keep the Third Legion, station here, and clear out these Samone defeated soldiers, Polett will lead the Pottia soldiers to cooperate with you."

As soon as Davers finished speaking, Alexis said anxiously: "Sir, the war with Samonet is over now, and the Syracuse army is attacking our Great Greece. We should return to Turiyi immediately and concentrate our troops against the Syracuse talents."

"Don't worry about Syracuse, I have my own arrangements. To be honest, I always feel that in the future, our alliance will expand northward, and the Samones will be a headache opponent. But unexpectedly, this time they gathered a large number of troops, took the initiative to leave the mountains they were familiar with, and launched a large-scale attack on Lucania. Under the protection of Hades, the Samones suffered a crushing defeat, and our losses were not great. Faced with the injured beast, what we must do is to seize this opportunity, take advantage of its weakness and kill it, instead of letting it go, and wait until it recovers before causing trouble for us.

Therefore, the Third Legion should destroy and capture the Samones stranded here as much as possible without allowing them to escape back to the north. While completing this task, you can tentatively attack the Samones to see if there are any further gains. But be careful not to expand the scale of the war and usher in new enemies! You must understand that the current situation of Dionia cannot support two-sided battles!" Davers warned solemnly.

"I understand, I will try my best to expand our results!" Alexis became excited after understanding Davers's intention. After all, being able to independently lead the army to conquer a region is the greatest pursuit of any general in charge.

"I also found a capable helper for you," Davers said, shouting outside the house: "Maltius, let him in."

Alexis looked at the door curiously and saw a thin, lean young man coming in.

"Supreme Commander." The young man gave a standard military salute.

"Printors, the company captain of the reconnaissance brigade, the planner of the defeat of the Samonet camp this time!" After returning to the military salute, Davers looked at him while constantly exclaiming: "Excellent! It's really amazing! The victory you created has saved Dionys time and allowed us to concentrate on dealing with Syracuse! On behalf of the people of Dionys, I thank you, your name will be remembered forever in the Valhalla!"

Printols was both excited and a little embarrassed by Davers' praise, and quickly said modestly: "Sir, this is the inspiration from me of the last plan you made to capture Asprostum City!"

Victory but not arrogant! Davers nodded, feeling more satisfied with the young man: "I will draw two companies from the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade, a total of 400 people, and leave them to you to command to assist the Third Legion and Potantia's army in pursuit of the Samonet defeated troops, and at the same time invade the nearby Samonet's territory. Can you complete this mission?"

"I can!" Printols answered confidently.

Davers nodded quietly, turned to the commander of the Third Legion and said, "Alexis, are you satisfied with the assistant I sent to you?"

"I can't be satisfied!" Alexis smiled and said, "But it also doubled my pressure. With such a heroic support, if I don't have a decent record, I'm embarrassed to go back to Turiyi."

"Just understand this." Davers continued with a smile: "I hope you will take Copsa if possible."

Copsa Alexis heard this term for the first time.

"That is the closest town to Potendia in Samone, about 40 miles away from here." Printols said to Alexis. As a scout team, he stayed here for nearly a day and had some understanding of the surrounding environment.

"This is an expectation of the great leader of Potendia! If Copsa is captured, Syracuse will be completely under the protection of Dionya, and no longer worry about the invasion of the Samones..." Davers further explained. In the morning, when Puamot made this request to him, Davers understood that Potendia had made up her mind to fully rely on the Dionya League.

"Of course you should do your best and don't force yourself. The battle in the south of the alliance will be very fierce, and supplies will definitely be very nervous. You should pay special attention to this issue and don't induce a big war in the north!" Davers emphasized this sentence again.

Alexis and Printols looked at each other and immediately expressed their understanding.

"There is one more thing...Puamot hopes to build a highway and strengthen its ties with our Lucanian territory. This is a good thing. I have agreed and am ready to let Baguel take over this matter, and let Alexis serve as an auxiliary." Seeing Alexis want to speak, Davers waved his hand and said, "After all, you have served as a construction officer, you are very familiar with road construction, and at the same time have a good relationship with Baguel. I believe you can cooperate well. Now there are tens of thousands of Samone prisoners as ready-made laborers, but don't exhaust them to death. These prisoners will have great uses in the future."

"I accept this task." Alexis said helplessly.

Seeing that he had a very reluctant answer, Davers had to remind him: "Building this road can not only strengthen the connection with Potendia, but also help our Dionia to expand into the central Apennines in the future. Therefore, building roads is equally important and pursuing Samone's defeated troops, and it does not conflict."

"Sir, I understand. I will do my best to help Bagule and the others repair this road!"

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

On the same morning, Sesta was rushing to the Senate.

The outbreak of this war still had a great impact on the city of Turiyi. The first and second legions were mostly Turiyi citizens. Then two new legions were formed, mainly Turiyi citizens, and they trained every day in the military port of the Krati River east of Turiyi. Therefore, there were almost no young and strong men in the city. The elderly and women appeared in the square due to their concerns about their relatives, and they gradually spent less time staying at home or praying in temples.

Sesta felt a little sad when he looked at the empty Victory Square.

"Master Sesta!" A cry came from behind him. When he looked back, it was the elder of Bruti, Bajilipi.

"I don't feel scared even if I arrive late." Bajilipi said half-jokingly and half-seriously. He was wearing a black-edged white Bodon robe that represented the identity of the elder, just like a thin bamboo pole hanging with a wide cloth robe, so he tried to pull the corner of the fallen clothes with both hands, and his appearance was quite funny.

But Sesta did not laugh. As an inspector, he had the function of supervising the performance of the elders during the Senate meeting. Now, after the treason case of Polyxis and other veterans, the veterans, at the initiative of Davers, gave the inspectors great power to supervise the crimes of the elders and the alliance public officials.

Because of the heavy responsibility, Sesta has always set an example, but he didn't expect that he would finally be late today. He explained involuntarily: "Last night was busy sorting out information on supervising elections in various cities and establishing local councils so that he could report to everyone at the meeting today. As a result, he was busy until late at night and got up late today."

"With the current situation where the Syracuse army is approaching, will the election of the local council be held?! You must know that yesterday I heard the news that the Southern Italian coalition was going to fight against the Syracuse people in Silitung, and I couldn't sleep all night!" Bajilipi said nervously. After all, the Fifth Legion is almost all composed of Bruti citizens, and the Bruti area is at the forefront of the war. Once the battle fails, the impact on the Bruti people will be greater than that of other cities in the alliance.
