Seeing this, Sesta hurriedly persuaded: "Master Bajilipi, you don't have to worry too much. Phelisius is the commander of the southern line recognized and designated by Lord Davers, and he is also a veteran of the battlefield. Moreover, he is honest and his analysis of the battle should not be a prank. We have a great chance of winning the battle! The report sent by the wise Lord Ansitanos also recognized Phelisius' analysis, so we should not worry too much... The election of the local council may be postponed for a period of time, and it will still be held when the Syracuse people are driven away."

"Yes, yes, you're right."

The two comforted each other and walked up the steps of the Senate Grand Council.

At this time, Sesta saw Petalu coming up from the other side. He seemed to have not seen Sesta and quickly walked into the venue.

Of course, Sesta does not have the habit of greeting unfamiliar people, but Pajilipi sighed: "It seems that Petalu has some opinions about your last review of him, and it will be better in a while."

Sesta said coldly: "I am just performing my duties. Whether others are happy or not has nothing to do with me."

When Bajilipi heard this, he had to stop talking.

"My dear sirs, the warships of Syracuse cut off our maritime trade channel in Dionia. Whether it is to the Eastern Mediterranean or other parts of the Western Mediterranean, our alliance's merchant ships have been arrested and seized by the Syracuse Navy, and other city-states' merchant ships that come to our alliance to trade were forcibly expelled by them. Now almost no merchant ships have entered the port of Turiyi. Except for the remote port of Picossis, it can operate normally, the ports of other cities have stopped operating.

Now because of the war, the soldiers in front have to consume a lot of supplies every day. If this situation continues, we cannot obtain supplies through maritime trade, and the grain supply of the entire alliance will probably become tight! I suggest that the Senate must take measures now, and start reminding the public to pay attention to saving food and forcibly control the consumption of food. For example, restaurants are temporarily closed, and the people will go from three meals a day to two meals..." After Maliji said, the veterans were in an uproar.

"Is the situation really so bad?" Cornerus asked nervously.

"Yes, the consumption of grains exceeded our prior expectations!" Agricultural officer Bajilipi added: "Although we have reserved grains, the first time we have supplied more than 40,000 people to five legions in the north and south directions, we have transported all the grains of the two granaries. And according to statistics from the Ministry of Military Affairs, these foods can only be supplied for ten days. As we all know, in recent years, we have only built six granaries in the territory of the alliance. If the war lasts for another two months, I am afraid that the reserves of grains will bottom out!"

The elders here are all nervous.

Kunogorata immediately stood up and said, "The sea is blocked, and we can buy it from Tarantum by land."

Melsis shook her head and said, "Mariji and I had long thought of this idea and sent public officials to Tarantum to discuss, but Tarantum Senate said, 'They are also short of food and there is no surplus to sell'."

"Damn Tarantum! They forgot who helped them drive away the Mesapi people at the beginning. It's so ungrateful! We should use the alliance agreement and question them well!" Scomblas, the chief executive of this Amendolar, cursed after hearing this.

"Well... Now is not the time to settle accounts with Tarantum. Syracuse and the Samones have made it difficult for us to deal with, and not to mention that our relationship with Tarantum has not been very harmonious in the past two years. If Tarantum is forced into anger, it will be in trouble like Davers worried about it!" Cornerus said worriedly.

"What are our fleet doing now?! The Alliance spends so much money to build warships every year, and it is time to need a navy!" Terry Toddmoth asked loudly.

"Navy Commander Secretlian is working hard to reorganize warships from various alliances, and at the same time, he trains the new tactics proposed by Lord Davers with the newly formed legion." Hironimus replied.

"The new tactics designed by Lord Davers?" Terry Toddmos was excited when he heard this: "Can you defeat the Syracuse Navy?!"

"The Turiyi Military Port is now tightly closed every day and no outsiders are allowed to enter. I don't know their training situation." Hironimus replied, and kept silent.

"It seems that we are not counting on the Shanghai Army for the time being... I hope that the Southern Italian coalition led by Lord Philicius can curb the attack of the Syracuse people today." Although Scomblas is close to 60 years old, he is more radical in his personality. However, he is also cautious about the upcoming battle in the south at this time. It can be seen that others are also worried about gains and losses. After all, the Southern Italian coalition is not the entire army of the Dionian army. Philicius's leadership ability is naturally not comparable to that of the consul Davers in the hearts of the elders.

"Is there any latest news? Have Lord Davers already led his army to fight against the Samones?" asked Sedorum.

"What I got is the news from yesterday, 'Mr. Davers led the army to Elia', and today's battle report has not been delivered yet."

The answer of the rotating chairman Kunogorata disappointed the elders present, and some people sighed: "Our war report is still too slow."

"It's already very fast! You should know that the Lucania region is full of mountains. At the previous speed, it may take more than four or five days to reach it. Now it has been shortened a lot." Heraclid, who has not spoken much for a while, refuted a rare rebuttal.

"My dear sir!" Kunogolata loudly reminded: "Although according to the analysis of the war report, our coalition has a great chance of defeating the Syracuddhas, we must also make the worst plans. We must again strictly order Lord Agashia of Asprestum and Ascestatus of Knapetia to make full preparations to defend the city as soon as possible according to the decision we discussed yesterday. In case... the battle fails, we must try our best to block the enemy from the territory of Dionia! At the same time, we must also prepare to assist Tarantum, so that we can defend the defense line of Knapetia-Asprestum-Tarantum and drag the enemy until Lord Davers leads his army back!"

"Mr. Kunogorata is right, we must be prepared for both ways!"

"The coalition forces led by Lord Philicius are more powerful than those of the enemy, and our legion is the main force, so we should be able to repel the enemy."

"Have all the scouts sent out? Let them report back to the situation of Turiyi's battle in Silitung every half an hour!"

...

Everyone in the Senate expressed their opinions one after another, but everyone felt a sense of tension and worry in their hearts...

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

After the meeting, the senators did not disperse. They sat in the venue and gathered together to chat in groups of three or three. They had to wait for news from the battlefield south here so that they could make a quick decision, so they even asked the slaves to bring lunch to the senate at noon.

Kunogorata walked straight to a corner of the venue, where Presinas and Marigi were whispering something.

When they saw Kunogorata coming, the two immediately stopped talking.

"Sir Presinus, I have heard that some abnormalities have occurred in the Hades Temple in recent days." Kunogorata whispered straightforwardly.

"Oh, what abnormal situation? Why haven't I heard of it?" Presinas looked confused.

"The handwriting that suddenly appeared and disappeared, and the statue of gods made sounds from time to time..." Kunogorata said word by word, staring at Presinas tightly.

Presinas suddenly realized: "Mr. Kunogorata, you are talking about this. This is not an abnormal phenomenon, this is a miracle of Hades! This has happened before, but it has only happened more frequently recently. This just shows that Hades is protecting our alliance!" Presinas looked pious.

Seeing his expression, Kunogorata wanted to speak but stopped several times, and finally warned seriously: "Now is the moment of the alliance crisis. We need to ensure the stability of the political situation in the alliance and work together to deal with powerful enemies! As the Chief Executive of Turiyi, I don't want great turmoil in the city! I believe that Lord Davers does not want to see big chaos in the city!"

Seeing Kunogorata's majestic expression, Presinas was suffocated.

Mariji next to him immediately interrupted, "Mr. Kunogorata, I'm very curious, what is the 'written words that you just said that suddenly appeared and disappeared'?"

Kunogorata looked at him alertly and said, "You can ask Prissinas." After that, he turned around and left. The rumors about "taking my blood as king, keeping the alliance safe" have gradually spread. It is said that it has spread to Amendolar, Bissinia and Castron, which made Kunogorata very uneasy. What he is eager to know now is: Is this matter the self-decision of Prissinas? Or is it from Davers' instructing? If it is the latter, what should he do?

"He noticed it." Presinas looked at Kunogorata and turned around and said to Marigi.

"Anyone with a brain can detect it." Mariji shrugged disdainfully: "But know, what can they do? Just now, Kunogolata didn't even dare to say 'what is that handwriting'. When something really happens, I'm afraid he will be the first few people who raised their hands to express their approval. Don't worry, Kunogolata is a smart person!" Mariji's words made Presinas feel relieved.

"Actually, I hope today's battle will fail..." Marigi's voice was even smaller, but it surprised Presinas again.

"Mr. Davers led the citizens of the alliance to win repeatedly, so he had such a large territory today! But the people have forgotten the taste of failure, and thus do not know the value of victory..." Mariji said quietly...

Compared with the deserted city of Turiyi, the civil war in the Siliting territory was covered with clouds on the early morning of the same day...

Thousands of soldiers came out of Silit City, from Trina City, from the camp outside the city, from the Syracuse camp, and rushed together like a tide to a place five miles north of the Syracuse camp.
