In recent years, as the relationship between the Samones and the Kingdom of Dionia gradually became worse, the Kautenis continued to invade the Campania region, and the step-by-step advancement of Hilpini against Abenirum made Polet, the great leader of Potentia, alert. However, in the past decade, the Potentia people have gradually become rich in life due to the safety of the surrounding environment. The young people have never encountered wars, and even the older generation have become unfamiliar with combat skills. Therefore, an unexpected decision he made: inviting the Military Affairs Department of Dionia to send military training officers to station in Potentia for a long time to train the young people of Potentia.

Therefore, the Ministry of Military Affairs has accurate data on the potential of the Potendia war.

Several rotating chairmen looked at each other and immediately reached an agreement. After all, they could use unexpected help and achieve the goal without consuming the strength of the kingdom. Why don’t they do it? As for whether Potendia would agree? They had never considered it, because the relationship between the two sides was too close, and according to the agreement, this was also Potendia’s obligation.

Therefore, Vesba asked directly: "Where will the army they formed belong to after asking Potendia to join the war?"

Although Potendia is the free city of the Kingdom of Dionia, it is still semi-independent. According to the provisions of the laws of Dionia, the Potendia army does not have the right to independently carry out military operations and must be incorporated into the army of Dionia and commanded by the generals of Dionia. This is to ensure the security of the Dionia territory and prevent some accidents.

"The army formed by Potendia will be handed over to command by Zantiparis, the commander of the Lucania's reserve army." Hilos answered.

When Vespa heard that the commander was Zantiparis, he felt relieved. With his understanding of the generals of Dionian, Zantiparis was a veteran who was steady in his work and would fight against the Samonets regardless of casualties. Although Potendia was not fully incorporated into the Kingdom of Dionia, Vespa had regarded it as part of the Lucania region in his heart, and of course he did not want the people there to suffer heavy casualties.

"At the beginning of the Senate meeting tomorrow, we will submit this issue first. As soon as the resolution is passed, we will immediately ask the messenger to rush to Pottia and inform Polet!" Cornerus said solemnly: "The elders all hope to pacify the Samones as soon as possible and to have peace in the northern border of Dionia!"

"Thank you, 3 sirs! We will do our best!" Hilos also responded solemnly.

Vesba originally wanted to ask about the general combat plan of the Military Affairs Department for the Samones, but when he said that, he swallowed it. After all, the Senate did not interfere with the Military Affairs Department was a rule made by King Davers a long time ago, and he did not want to make this taboo.

After Hilos and the others separated from the rotating chairmen, their expressions seemed a little relaxed.

Phyllissius said with a little excitement: "As long as the Senate's resolution is passed tomorrow and Potendia sends an army, we can solve the problem of the Samones!"

"Yes, the Samones raided the Campania Alliance and Abenirum and demanded their dependence on the kingdom. These two things together provide us with an opportunity to attack! As long as Potantia's army goes north to meet the Abenirum, they can launch an attack on the empty Samone Mountains. At the same time, Alexis can lead the army to attack from the east... The cooperation between the two sides can completely control the trend of the war with the people coming from the desert!" Capps, who was usually steady, also showed joy at this time.

"The Hilpini people have had many wars with Potentia. This time, letting Potentia's army enter Abenirom will cause dissatisfaction and conflicts?" Alpunes reminded.

"This shouldn't be." Phyllisius explained with more certainty: "Since the Southern Italian War, Potendia has not had a war with the Samonets for more than ten years. I don't know whether the Potendias have forgotten their previous hatred. However, according to the information obtained from His Majesty's intelligence department over the years, Potendia and Abenirum often have trade, and the people of both sides can enter and exit each other's territory relatively freely... Therefore, the Potendia's army entering Abenirum should not arouse too much reaction. Besides, you have to believe that Zantiparis will coordinate the relationship between the two sides with his ability."

The other three nodded after hearing this. They were all survivors of the expedition to Persia and had a deep understanding of Zantiparis' abilities.

"I think Pollet will be very happy after receiving the news that we 'let him attack the Samones'." Hironimus said: "With his nature, he will definitely lead the army to fight in person. In order to achieve this goal, he will also restrain his own people, cooperate with the Abenirum people and fight together."

Not only did Pollett allow his people to receive training as a military training officer in Dionia, he also personally went to the field to receive training many times to learn the combat methods of the Dionys Legion. As the military training officer, Hironimes went to Pottia several times to inspect the military training situation. They were all well received by Pollett and the two sides formed deep friendships.

"We don't need to worry about Abenirum and Potendia. Now the only thing I worry about is your Majesty!" Phyllissius said in a deep voice: "He has emphasized many times, 'Don't lead the army into the Samone Mountains', and our plan is completely against his will!"

Phyllisius's words made Hironimus and Alpuens's face suddenly turn into solemnity. However, Hilos's expression was calm. He comforted everyone: "When we were discussing plans in the Military Affairs Department, didn't I say it? Your Majesty was worried that we were not familiar with the terrain of the Samone Mountains, and the Samones were good at mountain warfare. If you enter rashly, you would suffer a great loss, so you emphasized it again and again, but he never said, 'We are absolutely not allowed to march into the Samone Mountains'! And now, with the help of the Abenirum people, and with the main forces of the Samone people are all in Campania, it is a good opportunity for us to completely solve the Samone! I believe that your Majesty will agree if he knows it!"

"Hillos, we should wait until His Majesty receives our combat plan and makes a reply before starting the attack." Phylliscius reminded him again with concern.

"The letter was sent to Rome and sent back again. No matter how fast it was, it would take seven or eight days. The matter of Abenirum joining our kingdom was going on in secret, but I think it would be difficult for the Abenirum people to keep this secret for a long time. Once the major leaders of Samonet's tribes learned that the troops attacking the Campania League quickly retreated to the Samante Mountains, then our efforts would be in vain! Therefore, after the resolution was passed tomorrow, we must immediately notify Alexis to implement our plan. If your Majesty blames you in the future, I am willing to bear it alone!" Hilos said resolutely.

"This is a decision we have made together. How can you be responsible alone!" Hironims immediately expressed his objection.

"Yes, your Majesty should blame you, and you should also blame all the heads of our Military Affairs Department!" Phylliscius also made a statement immediately.

Alpuenz was about to speak, but he saw a person hurriedly running up from the front and immediately said, "Shilos, isn't that your clerk?"

"Mr. Hilos! All the sirs!" The officer rushed over and saluted: "Mr. Alexis sent an urgent letter!"

Hilos hurriedly took the letter, opened it and saw a smile on his face.

The other three immediately cast curious eyes.

Hilos looked at Philicius and the others, raised the letter in his hand, and said excitedly: "Alexis immediately wrote this letter after learning that Abenirum requested the incorporation into the Kingdom of Dionia. He asked to regroup the 10th Legion and the 11th Legion to unite the Abeniroma people. The Potantia launched an attack from both east and west at the same time to clear the obstacles and capture Aquilonia in one fell swoop. We thought of going together!"

Although the Third Fleet of Dionia tried its best to blockade the west coast of the Italian Peninsula, and the Sicilian fleet patrolled the waters west of the Strait of Messina from time to time, it was impossible to prevent the Carthaginians from obtaining information about Rome. After all, Corsica, under the control of Carthaginians, Sardinia, and the Latinum area where Rome is located, were across the sea. Under the command of the Carthaginian judges, the Phoenician city-state on the island had to send ships again and again to venture to avoid patrolling the Daonian warships, approach the coast, and go to Antium, Adid and other towns to understand the development of the Latinum war situation.

Then, the Carthaginians sent a clutch to sail south from the west side of Sardinia to the city of Carthaginia. So the Carthaginians knew that Dionia sent a large army to attack the Latinum area, and they were happy to see that because Rome restrained most of Dionia's troops and would inevitably reduce the pressure on the attack on western Sicily.

But a few days later, the news that "Roman was captured" came, which shocked the Carthage elders. According to the news they learned, Rome was a big city. Although its main force was not in the city, it was so easy to be captured by the Dionians, which also shows the strength of Dionian military power.
