"Matonis, don't talk nonsense. It's not that we can't defeat Capitolin, but that His Majesty ordered us to temporarily siege it and not attack!" Epitronis cursed in anger.

"The city of Rome is still unstable now. What if the two adults lead their troops to leave, and there will be chaos in Rome? So we can only fight with our third legion!" Lizaru interrupted.

...

Several legion commanders started arguing with each other in order to compete for the opportunity to fight.

Thormid saw Davers frowning slightly, and hurriedly said something and wanted to stop him: "Several people--"

"Your Majesty, the Second Legion, the Third Legion and the Preparatory Brigade all have important tasks and cannot be dispatched easily. I am willing to lead my troops to fight and take down Kesrera within one day! At the same time, seize Viagra!"

As soon as these words came out, Matonis and others immediately stopped quarreling, and the eyes in the venue quickly focused on the past. The person who spoke was Printols who had been sitting quietly beside him.

"Printors, it's not the time to brag around. We are holding a very important military meeting!" Martonis looked at him, like an idiot, and couldn't help but mock him.

"I can swear to Hades in front of His Majesty!" Printols said seriously.

"If our army cannot be dispatched, what will you rely on to seize Kesrera and Vie?" Epitronis looked at him with interest.

"Are you going to use the Mountain Brigade?" Davers's voice came from the top.

"Yes, your majesty." Printols said respectfully: "The past two days, the three commanders of Martonis, Lizaru and Epitianis have been busy with military affairs. I was idle and led a team of reconnaissance soldiers to quietly investigate the environment and terrain around the north bank of the Tiber River. Although the city of Kesrera is located on the mountain, it is not too difficult for the reconnaissance soldiers to cross.

According to my long-term observation, even during the day, there is no sentry on the head of Kesrera, and the defense is relatively relaxed... It may be related to its long-term friendship with Rome and has maintained peace for more than ten years, so the possibility of a surprise attack is very high."

"I remember you stayed in the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade for a few years and made military achievements..." Davers looked at him and said slowly.

"Yes, your Majesty."

"It seems that you are not talking big. Kesrera City can indeed climb. Are you planning to raid at night?" Davers asked thoughtfully, looking at everyone.

"Yes, your Majesty."

"What about Wei'ai? Are you also planning to use the Mountain Reconnaissance Brigade to attack?" Davers asked again.

Printols said calmly: "Let the Romans attack, your majesty."

Davers shook his eyebrows and then narrowed his eyes. He understood that the "Roman" that Printols called was the reserve team that had just been formed by Roman civilians in the city. It had a few hundred people a few days ago, and it had increased to more than 2,000 people. For this reason, Davers also promoted several more capable and loyal Roman civilians to serve as Sextus' assistants.

"Let these Roman civilians in the city attack Viagra?! This is impossible!" Matounis clearly expressed his opposition: "The order in the city of Rome is not very good now. It was caused by these Roman civilians. Yesterday, several Roman civilians attacked the patrol! It is too risky to let such an unstable reserve team attack Viagra! And according to the rewards of the scouts, although there are not many Roman soldiers in Viagra, they are still relatively strict in defense. With these more than 2,000 Roman civilian reserve teams that have not received regular military training from our Dionia, it is impossible to capture it!"

"Mr. Matonis, after interrogation, the arrested Romans have been proven to be diners of the Roman nobles." Antrapolis interrupted. As the Roman administrative adjutant, he was responsible for the order and public order in the city, so the inspection office and the court were under his jurisdiction.

"The little nobles and diners in the city have not been cleaned up yet. This means that the reserve team is complicated, so how dare we use them with confidence!" Martonis replied unwillingly.

Ascesters interrupted: "I have talked to Captain Sextus of the Roman Reserve Team and several team officials below. They said that the soldiers are eager to make contributions in order to get more rewards. If we never dare to use them boldly and have doubts about them, they may turn their expectations for us into resentment, which is not conducive to our governance of this city!

They dared to take risks, rebel from the Roman army, escape back here, and surrender to us... I believe that most of them really want to join our Kingdom of Dionia. Even if a small number of people have ulterior motives, what's the point? They can be exposed through battle. Even if the siege fails, we have discovered hidden dangers and make these Roman civilians more loyal. This is a good thing!"

"Mr. Ascesters is right! In the long run, our army cannot stay in Rome. The main force to fight against surrounding forces in the future is the Dionian citizen army composed of the Romans. Why not train them while our army is here!" Nicomarcus also suggested.

At this time, Printols further explained: "Your Majesty, I am not asking the Roman reserves to attack Viagra, but let them use their identities to gain love."

After Printols said this, Davers felt roughly clear and asked, "Do you want them to play the role of reinforcements in Rome?"

"Yes, your majesty." Printols explained seriously: "We all know that in order to go from the south bank of the Tiber River to the north bank, in addition to these two bridges in the city of Rome (Roman Bridge and the bridge of the heart of the river), there are bridges to cross the city of Fidena in the upper reaches. Since the last Viagra failed, they have been locking the gates. Our cavalry has been patrolling the north bank of the Tiber River in the past two days, and we have not seen any Roman soldiers entering Videna through the city of Fidena in the upper reaches. Therefore, Videna is likely not aware of the fact that the Roman civilians joined us in Dionia. We can completely let the escaped Roman civilian soldiers pretend to be their reinforcements and deceive the gates of Videna..."

"Bang!" Davers slapped the table strongly and praised loudly: "Very good! Printols, your plan is very good! Viei is on the east side of the north bank of the Tiber River and Kesrera is on the west side of the North Bank. If he can take these two towns at the same time, he can support each other and build a barrier in the north of the City of Rome. In the future, whether it is the Etruscan-Roman coalition attacked from the north, or the Latin coalition that crosses the river from the upper reaches of the Tiber River, he will have to conquer this barrier first. By then, the Third Legion led by Lizalu will not need to be so passively defended, and it will be able to free up most of the soldiers to join other battlefields..."

At this point when Davers said, Lizaru showed joy.

"I decided to adopt Principles' advice and let the Roman reserve team take advantage of love."

"Your Majesty, who have you sent to command?" Thormid asked.

"Justicus said, since these Roman civilians have joined Dionia, we must boldly appoint them, otherwise there is nothing different from the Roman nobles. I think... let Sextus be the commander of the offensive Viagra." Davers said decisively.

"Sextus is a good young Roman man. Since he was elected as Chief Avending Demo, he has been actively assisting us and appeaseing the escaped Roman civilians." Ascestes interrupted.

"For these Romans who sincerely defected to us, we should give them more opportunities. Even if we fail to win Viagra, we will at least get a group of tested and loyal Roman civilians!" What Davers said made the executive elders such as Ascesters deeply agree.

"But Kesrera must be seized, and it must be captured in the shortest time!" Davers' tone suddenly turned tough, and he said: "The Roman army led by Camillus is attacking Ostia continuously regardless of casualties. The Clippers reported yesterday that most of the trenches outside Ostia had been filled up, and the city walls had collapsed in many places. It won't take long before we will no longer have the advantage of the territory and have to fight directly head-on with the Romans...

We have the initiative in the battle situation. There is no need to fight with a mad dog that is about to die, increasing the casualties of our soldiers. Therefore, we do not have to defend Ostia at all. As long as we take down Kesrera, we can use its port as a transit station connecting the Roman River Harbor. Although it is farther than Ostia, Kesrera's sea trade is prosperous. Its port must be larger than Ostia, more complete facilities, and will not be threatened by the Romans, so-"

Davers looked directly at the staff officer he valued, raised his right fist and waved hard: "Printors, you will carry out the plan to attack Kesrera. If you have any need, we will solve it with all our strength, but I hope you can take it as soon as possible--no! Can you do it in two days today and tomorrow?!"

Printols thought for a moment, then said firmly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to accept this task!"

His words made Matonis, Lizaru and Epitians look admiring, and Thormid looked at him with a complicated expression: King Davers gave two days, but according to Printols' surprise attack plan, it is actually only one night left. Is it too late? Even if they have been through the battlefield for a long time, they dare not make this guarantee.

"Very good, I'm waiting for your victory news!" Davers smiled, and he readily agreed to Principles' request to leave the venue now, go to prepare, and watch him leave with admiring eyes.

At this time, Thormid asked, "Your Majesty, are you going to evacuate the troops in Ostia after capturing Kesrera?"
Chapter completed!
