"If the situation is not as I expected, the Carthaginians still resolutely reinforce Sicily again. The troops led by Prosous are numerous and few, then the Seventh Legion and even the Tenth Legion under Alexis can be sent to Sicily to enhance its strength. The Samonets suffered heavy damage and their strength is no longer afraid of strength. Alexis does not need to retain too many troops." Davers looked around everyone and said with a serious expression: "Now Dionia is fighting with three forces. Although we can all deal with it, we cannot allocate our troops equally. That will only lead to the continuous extension of the war and increase the consumption of our national strength. We should concentrate our troops to solve one of them before our opponents have made efforts to alleviate the current situation and free up our hands to solve other enemies!"

Davers paused for a moment and saw everyone falling into thought, he continued, "But who is the object of our first concentration of troops to eliminate? Of course, it cannot be Carthage, which has a strong national strength and a vast territory, and its war cannot be ended in a short time;

Although the Samonai are now the weakest of the three forces, their homes are also in the mountains. So far, we are all luring them to fight on the plains and trying to avoid fighting on the mountains, because that is what they are good at. Without destroying their nests, we cannot completely conquer them. The current situation makes us be cautious and do not attack the Samone Mountains that we are not familiar with for the time being;

In the end, Rome was left--"Davs' hand pointed to the map again: "Although Rome's strength is not weak, its power is mainly concentrated in the northern part of Latinum, which is a relatively flat river plain, which is conducive to our combat. The Latinum seaside area is mostly flat beaches, while the Roman navy is not strong, which is conducive to our troops' landings, fleet supplies and food transportation. For decades, Rome has expanded everywhere and has had many enemies with the surrounding forces, which is conducive to us uniting them and jointly attacking Rome..."

After Davers finished speaking, the ministers of the Ministry of Military Affairs had been persuaded by him, and Hilos immediately stated: "Your Majesty, after we go back, we will begin to prepare for the expedition to Rome."

"Move quickly!" Davers emphasized and reminded: "We must take advantage of the fact that Rome has not yet eliminated the Helniki people. The main force is still in the east. Gathering the army to annihilate its troops scattered in the west with a rapid offensive, capturing its Latin allies, weakening its power, and finally attacking Rome and fighting with it! I will strive to eliminate its power within half a year and bring Rome and its surrounding Latin city-states under the rule of the kingdom... Alas, you must know that after this huge war, more than 100,000 soldiers needed military merit rewards, especially those recruits who have not yet obtained fiefs for adulthood. But now, except for the Doni region, there is still some unallocated land in the kingdom, and there is no remaining land in other areas, so the Latin region..."

Hilos and the others immediately understood what Davers meant, whether it was public or private, which strengthened their determination to support Davers in leading the army north.

"Your Majesty, your expedition to the Latinum region is of great importance. I am afraid the Senate may not pass this resolution." Phyllithus reminded. Indeed, the last battle between Davers and the Messapi-Pchetti coalition ten years ago was the battle, which laid the foundation for victory for the Kingdom of Dionys to conquer the entire Apulia region. Ten years later, the Senate is probably used to Davers being in charge of the palace and the Senate. Moreover, as a king, he is now with a noble status and taking risks in his own hands will also make the Senate feel worried, and there is also a huge food consumption...

Davers smiled and said indifferently: "So I will convince you first, and I will have a lot of votes in favor."

Hilos, Phyllisius and the others also laughed. In the Dionian Senate, the military veterans do account for a considerable proportion.

"Next, I will talk to the five rotating chairmen first. As for the other senators... I don't think they will refuse in the end, because once they conquered Rome, they will provide them with many positions as chief executives for those who are idle." Davers was very confident in persuading the Senate.

At this time, Tolmeed asked a question: "Your Majesty, the Third Army defended the Kautini people in Campania and transferred it away. What if Kautini enters the Campania League again?"

"Isn't that just right?" Davers replied calmly: "Since Kauteni replaced their warriors, there has been no movement. If they can lure them out, we can rest assured. Moreover, in the current situation, we cannot rely solely on us to protect the Campanian League, and it is time for the Campanians to share the difficulties for us."

After discussing the northern expedition for a while, Hilos and the others said goodbye. Next, the Military Affairs Department would be extremely busy because it would be necessary to mobilize soldiers, gather various legions, mobilize fleets, raise military rations, and other complicated matters to be completed as soon as possible.

Since Adoris moved out of King Davers' mansion on the grounds that he "grows up and can support himself", his room has been empty, but he has moved back in the past few days, not because he missed his adoptive parents, but because he was injured.

In the Battle of Venosa, he violated military law. After the war, the team leader was serious about his work and reported his performance to the legion. After seeing it, the commander of the Second Legion Martonis felt embarrassed. He wanted to suppress this matter, but thought that this matter could not be hidden from Davers, so he simply asked to see the king and explained the situation.

After hearing this, Davers was very angry and said without hesitation: "You can't just regard military law as nothing is left. If you spare him, what will other soldiers think? Will you still strictly execute orders and obey your commands!"

In fact, Davers wanted to use this severe punishment to make Adoris firmly remember to obey commands and cooperate closely with his comrades in battle, rather than just killing the enemy and doing some adventures, which is also for his safety.

So, Matonis had to announce that according to military law, Adoris would be sentenced to abstinence.

The twenty army sticks were beaten down firmly, making Adoris's butt burst into pieces, making it difficult for him to walk.

After hearing this, Cristoya felt so distressed. Regardless of whether Adoris agreed or not, she forced him to move back to his residence to facilitate care and treatment.

Adoris couldn't resist his adoptive mother, so he had to return to his original residence obediently.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

"Come in." Seeing that Crotokataks was walking into the house, Adoris breathed a sigh of relief, and was not in a hurry to cover his swollen buttocks with a quilt. He said listlessly: "Croto, it's you."

"Brother, who do you think it is? Loved by Duy?" Crotokatax smiled sly.

"Nonsense! What do you know?!" Adoris glared at him.

"I know a lot." Crotokatax blinked in a narrow eye: "You and Eldouille, the daughter of Tolex, are getting along. The mother has come forward to negotiate with Tolex and has booked your marriage with Aidouille until April, but it may be postponed until the end of the year. Yesterday, she came to see you specifically. I think she might be worried that if you are beaten up, you will not be able to have a baby with her..."

Thinking back to the time when Agenus's brother wanted to marry Daphis, Cristoya used her network to constantly go on blind dates to Adoris, but Adoris took a fancy to Torex's gentle and beautiful daughter. Torex was once the leader of a large tribe of Pucheti. His family was quite influential in the Pucheti area. After becoming a veteran of Dionia, he always seemed relatively low-key. Whether it was for the political purpose of winning over the Pucheti people or hoping to have a virtuous daughter-in-law, the Daphis and his wife were satisfied, so the marriage was settled quickly.

"Damn Cloto!" Adoris pressed the bed with both hands and supported himself, trying to teach his younger brother a lesson, but he immediately covered his butt and screamed "Ouch Ouch".

"Brother, are you okay?" Crotokatax hurriedly leaned over and asked with concern.

Adoris took the opportunity to catch him, tapped him gently on the head twice, and said in his mouth: "Croto, you are learning bad things now, be careful that I will go to my mother to complain."

"Brother, I'm afraid of you. Can't I leave now? But you don't want to hear good news." As he said that, Crotokataks walked out.

"Wait a minute, Cloto! What good news?! My dear brother, for my injury, tell me what good news is?!..."

Seeing Adoris' begging eyes, Crotokatax turned back and sat down, and said with a hint of grace: "Brother, my father is going to personally lead a huge army composed of the First Legion, the Second Legion, the Third Legion, the Fourth Legion, the Fifth Legion, the Sixth Legion, and the First and Second Cavalry Legion to head north to the Latinum area to fight Rome!"

"Really?!" Adoris was immediately excited when he heard this.

"Of course it's true! This morning, my father's decision has been approved in the Senate. I believe the army will set off soon!" Crotokataks said with an excited expression.

"That's great! Finally there is another battle!" Adoris clenched his fists excitedly.
Chapter completed!
