"The Kingdom Finance Ministry sent a letter asking us to pay the Naxos people and transport the grains that act as land tax to Katanai, saying that we wanted to buy old grains in the granary, but why did we still have to send the newly collected grains to the barracks?! The granary is in Katanai, which is more than ten miles away. It's not because you got the evidence of Raodisian collusion with the Sikels that we are going to fight against the Sikels!"

Galadmoth's words surprised Theocasis and asked in a low voice with a slightly unkind look: "You should know that this time, the Eighth Legion claimed that it would conduct military training in advance. How did you know?!"

"I am the first discoverer of this incident, and the noise you have made in search of Raodisian's residence in Naxos has been too much. Some rumors have long been made, not to mention the number of people here-" Gallardmos pointed to the surroundings: "The number of people who have been trained in a military way is much like the soldiers of the entire legion gathered together. I am doing mathematical research and are more sensitive to this."

"Turi's trial of these Sicilian illegal veterans has not begun, but the Senate must be angry at the Sikels who bribed and used the veterans. It's just that there has not been a formal declaration of war, so you'd better keep it a secret!" Diocasis warned in a low voice.

Galardmos nodded tactfully, and then asked curiously: "Which brigade do you work in?"

Theocasis suddenly became a little embarrassed. After asking Galad mode, he hesitated to put down his hand holding his left chest, and then Galadmoth saw a pattern of a balance on the linen breastplate on his chest.

"You are the military judge!" Gallardmoth said in surprise.

Suddenly, the soldiers around him stopped and looked over.

"Damn Galadmoth!" Diocasis whispered in a frustration: "Do you want me to be hated by the soldiers!"

"The military judge is originally a fear of the soldiers, and this position is indeed suitable for you." Galadmoth shrugged and added: "Naxos's inspector is indeed suitable for serving as the military judge of the Eighth Legion!"

"No, this is not suitable at all! I used to be the captain of the first company of the First Legion!" Diocasis said angrily.

"Why did he become a military judge when he arrived in Sicily?" Galadmoth was also a little confused.

"It must be the old men from the Military Affairs Department who are stumbled!" Diocasis said gritting his teeth: "So now I'm going to the big tent to find the commander of the legion and ask him to change me back to his original position!"

"Look for... Commander of Prosous?! He is not a good person to talk to!" Galadmoth reminded him.

When the leader of the Prosous legion had a headache when he thought of the tough style of his previous style, Theocasis also felt a headache, but he said firmly: "I will try it no matter what!"

"Don't be disappointed if the commander of the Prosous Legion did not agree." Galadmoth held back his laughter and comforted him seriously, "The military judge is actually quite suitable for you."

"You better hope that I can convince the commander of the Prosous Legion, otherwise-" Diocasses straightened his chest and whispered with a smile: "The pack teams stop me. I want to search these grain loads to see if there are any other illegal things hidden inside!"

"You are indeed suitable to be a military judge!" Galadmoth smiled without showing any weakness.

The "big tent" that Theocassis mentioned is actually not a real tent, but a brick and stone building - the Legion Command.

Leotizides, the commander of the Eighth Legion, was sitting on a wooden chair, staring motionlessly at the "Sicilian Wooden Plank Map" hanging on the wall.

The adjutant of the army hurried to the door and did not go in directly. Instead, he asked the guard next to him: "How is it inside?"

The guard immediately complained: "I have been sitting there motionless for most of the day, and I haven't eaten breakfast in the morning. I've been hot twice."

The adjutant patted his shoulder comfortably, and then walked in with slight hands.

He coughed twice, and Leotizides did not respond.

He shouted softly, and Leotizides still did not respond.

He had to shout, "Sir, Legion!"

Leotizides finally turned around, looked at him, and said coldly: "Stiflos, what's wrong?"

Staphros felt that Leo seemed a little angry when he mentioned Des, and hurriedly said, "According to your request, I have invited Lord Cipoulos."

Leotizides' expression cleared a little: "Let him come in."

"Mr. Legion!" Stiflos had to remind him tactfully: "Mr. Cyporus is the trusted veteran of Dionia by His Majesty, and we cannot be too neglected!" Stiflos thought to himself: You are a new army commander, not even a veteran, just let others come to the barracks to meet, and at least you should go out to greet him to show respect.

Unexpectedly, Leotizides looked up at him, his eyes cold: "I want to discuss important kingdom events with Lord Siprous, which makes it too much of a big deal and will only attract the attention of the Sikels."

"The commander of the Prosous Legion is right!" A hearty laughter sounded at the door: "So I came quietly."

"Sir Cyporus!" Staphros hurriedly came forward.

Cyporus nodded at him with a smile and walked into the room, seemingly not caring about Leotizides' neglect of him.

Leotizides also stood up and nodded slightly to Sip Siphorus.

"Please tell me if Lord Prosous has any amazing decisions." He and Leotzides had been together in Catanai for several years. Although they didn't have much contact, Siprous also knew the character of the highest military commander of Sicily. He pulled a chair and sat down while he said.

Leotizides was not polite, walked to the map on the wall and said in a deep voice: "I decided to lead the Eighth Legion west tomorrow, bypass Mount Etna, and occupy Aguirion."

Stiflos was surprised to hear this.

Cyporus was still calm and asked softly: "Why are you so anxious? You must know that the Senate has not passed the resolution to declare war on Tanic An, and Agilion is a friendly town with Dionia and is our ally!"

"The information collected by the Senofenis sent people to sneak into the hinterland of the Sikeles, I believe Lord Siphorus has seen it." Leotitzides lit the wooden board on the wall with his hands, making a "bang" sound: "The Taniquean tribe had completely controlled Kefaroydion a few years ago, the westernmost town of the Sikeles, and later acquired the land of Enna, and at the same time controlled the two important Sikeles towns of Hena and Hebita. In Agilion, Mogantina, and Kenturipa, most of the Sikeles tribes west of Taniquean were under the rule of Arcoris, the leader of Taniquean--"

Leotitzides stretched out his five fingers with his left hand, covering the center of the inland Sicily, and said with a grand expression: "I think His Majesty Davers and the Senate saw this information and would never allow a unified Sikel powerful force in the west of the Catanian Plain, the most important Catania Plain, to be malicious to Dionya. The order of 'Let our Eighth Legion launch a war against it' will not be tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow.

But at that time, Taniquean would be prepared for defense. Fighting in the inland mountains of Sicily was very unfavorable to us. We were not familiar with the terrain there, and the Sikels were good at guerrilla warfare. In the past, they used this tactic to assist Dionysius, causing great trouble to Carthage's commander Mago. Once the war began, our army would probably march in the mountains and camps and berserks were attacked by the Sikels, which would inevitably prolong the war and would be very unfavorable to us, Dionia, because in Nanyi, we were still fighting another war against the Donis!

According to the information of Senovinis, even the city of Agilion has some tribes that support Tanikan, and the situation is already relatively urgent. So I deliberately claimed to conduct military training, but summoned all the soldiers of the Eighth Legion. Before the Tanikan tribe could react, I quickly marched to Agilion to completely stabilize the important town of the Sikil people, and at the same time shocked the other Sikil tribes, so that they did not dare to fall to Tanikan. Then—"

Leotizides pointed his hand at a town icon not far southwest of Archilion and said in a stressful tone: "First capture the weakest city of Hena, giving other Sikel tribes confidence, so that they dare to rise up and resist Tanikan, who is determined to unify Sikel..."

After hearing this, Steflos was excited, but he also looked at Siphorus with concern: Will Chief Executive Katanai agree to such a bold plan? Although even if Siphorus disagreed, he believed that Leotizides would still implement it, the Eighth Legion would undoubtedly encounter great trouble and difficulties!

Cyporus laughed: "Everyone said that you, Prosous, don't like to talk, but you didn't expect that when you speak, you can touch people!"

Leotizides didn't seem to think Cyporus's words were funny, but he still looked expressionless, but he understood what Cyporus said: "Did you agree?!"

Leotitzides focused on military affairs and did not understand these senior figures of the Kingdom of Dionia very much, nor did he often go around, otherwise he would know that Cyporus was a flexible-minded, flexible-working veteran, and dared to break the rules. Not to mention that under his promotion, Trina fully supported Dionia in the Southern Italian League. After the Southern Italian War, he persuaded Trina people to make Trina the first Greek city-state to actively incorporate the Kingdom of Dionia (Laos does not count).

Now, during his tenure as Chief Executive of Catanai, under the banner of friendly exchanges with Sicily city-states, he actually violated the previous agreement between Dionya and Carthage and strengthened contact with these Greek city-states on the south coast of Sicily, such as Gera, Camanlina, Pachinus, Agrigento..., etc., which prompted that although they did not form an open alliance with Dionya, they actually turned to Dionya. Therefore, these city-states have repeatedly sent delegations to attend the Hades celebration in Turiy in recent years.

"Why should I object to such a good plan? Tell me, what else do I need to do?" Siphorus asked seriously.
