But after listening, Midolades was still puzzled: "It is regrettable that the Greeks were defeated in the end, but what does this have to do with our Dionia?"

Henipolis, who had deliberately kept his cover, smiled and said, "Because some of the Alenians fled to Italy and established Elia with other Greek colonists. This history is engraved on the stone tablet in the Apollo Temple in Elia. The Elias are now citizens of Dionys, so the Alenians they once established should also belong to Dionys!"

Henipolis' explanation was somewhat erratic, but Midolades thought it was rightful. He immediately stated: "The Third Fleet will retake Alenia from Carthage and wash away the shame of the Greeks!"

Davers was satisfied with his statement and further encouraged: "You go back and tell the crew of the Third Fleet that regaining Alenia will not only greatly hit the Carthaginians, but also inspire the Greek city-states in the Western Mediterranean, deepen the friendly relations with Marcelia, and become the hero they celebrated in their hearts!

And as far as I know, Aleinia has a fully equipped and large port, which is a military port and a commercial port, which can be used as a docking place for all warships of the Third Fleet, and can avoid the suffering of running back and forth. After taking down Aleinia, the Third Fleet can use it as a base to raid Sardinia, close to Corsica, attack the mining teams on the island, destroy their towns and villages, and attack their cargo ships..."

Midolades said emotionally: "Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will let the Phoenicians on these two islands transport a piece of metal!"

Seeing Midolades's emotions were too excited, Davers couldn't help but remind him: "Now I can't draw out troops to support you. The mission of attacking Corsica and Sardinia can only depend on the Third Fleet itself. So you must be bold and cautious, cherish your soldiers, and don't let them suffer too much casualties, which will lead to the inability to proceed in the follow-up plan!"

Davers's words made Midoladston feel more stressed.

At this time, Crotokatax asked, "Father, will our military action on Corsica make the Etruscans feel dissatisfied and have other ideas?"

In fact, Crotokatakus had discussed this issue with Davers in private before, and raised it at this time, just a tactful reminder of Davers.

Davers secretly praised his son's care and consideration, and then said seriously: "Don't worry about this. Although the Etruscans often trade with Carthage, they are no longer an alliance. They are also dissatisfied with Carthage's strong support for Rome. Moreover, the Etruscan city-state in the south has just formed an alliance with us..."

Then, Davers looked at Midolades again: "But your warships should not appear on the seas of Corsica land controlled by the Etruscans, nor let soldiers enter their territory, so as to avoid excessive stimulation, who were already afraid of our powerful Etruscans... I have no other requirements, and it is up to you to decide how to attack Corsica and Sardinia, and I will not interfere."

Davers said this and made Midolades feel even more stressed. He took a deep breath and said, "Yes...yes, your majesty!"

Thormid looked at Midolades's back as he left, and couldn't help but say, "He's a little nervous."

"It is a good thing to be nervous, so he will be cautious when taking action. Even if the Third Fleet did not achieve any decent results, as long as the fleet wandered around these two islands, it would cause great trouble to the Carthaginians. What I am afraid of is that Midolades is too confident, loses vigilance, and takes risks, causing the Third Fleet to suffer heavy losses and weaken our advantage, just like... Alas!" Davers's words stopped and then sighed heavily.

Thormid knew that Davers must have thought of Seclien and the Sicilian fleet again.

At this time, Martius walked into the tent again: "Your Majesty, the commander of the Martonis legion sent a messenger to repay him, and Aricia surrendered!"

Davers smiled on his face: "Hadis blessed, there is so much good news today!"

No wonder he was so happy. Arecia is not far from Tusteron, just west of Lake Albaronga. It is an ancient Latin city-state. It has been the center of the western part of the Latin region since ancient times, especially after the destruction of Albaronga. From its name, it can be seen that this Latin city-state has a very close relationship with Diana Arisia, the hunting goddess who was extremely admired by the Latin people. For this reason, it united the Latin city-state in the west to resist the rising Rome, but after many defeats, it had to join the Latin alliance led by the Romans.

After Davers personally led his army out of Rome, he first stationed outside the city of Tusteron (the Roman camp at the time), and divided his troops to attack several Latin city-states not far west of Tusteron, with the focus being Arecia. Under the threat of the army, other city-states surrendered one after another, and only the proud Arecia refused to surrender to Dionia. So Davers ordered: Martonis led the Second and Sixth Legion to attack Arecia.

The results of several days of continuous attacks finally came to fruition.

When Davers' smile flew in a flash, a stern tone followed: "If it were not for the feelings of the Roman civilians, the Latin city-state like Aresia, who dared to resist ours, should have been treated like Gabi, but even if it surrendered, it could not be spared! Heni, go and inform Tapirus and let him talk to the Aresia immediately. Since Aresia is the holy forest of the goddess of hunting, I can make Aresia a holy place for all Latins to worship and replace the status of Mount Albaronga. But from then on, Aresia will not be allowed to build city walls, or form an army, or have a population of no more than 5,000, and will be open to everyone, and its safety is guaranteed by Dionia..."

"I understand, your majesty. Uh... It is said that because of Diana's relationship, Arecia is also a famous medical center in the Latin region..." Henipolis reminded.

Davers's mouth slightly curled: "Can Arecia's medical skills be comparable to that of Dionia? I think the responsibility in this regard should be left to Hades!"

"Your Majesty, it's a good thing for Arecia to surrender, but it's a pity that he failed to lure the Roman army!" Thormid said with some regret.

Davers smiled slightly and said indifferently: "The Romans have been fooled once, so they will naturally become much more cautious. Now their main force is still stationed in Satneycomb, and it seems that they are ready to defend themselves. This is also a good thing. Without the support of the Romans, Arecia also surrendered, and other Latin city-states in the west will soon make their choice."

Speaking of this, Davers' eyes became sharper, and he said firmly: "Tormid, go and inform the entire army to be prepared. To leave Tusteron tomorrow, march southwest, and build camps to the north of Satneycomb. It's time to completely deal with the Romans!"

Davers's words made everyone in the tent excited.

"Yes, I'll inform the legions immediately!" Thormid responded excitedly.

"And... we sent envoys to these Latin city-states to persuade them to surrender. Adi had the most determined attitude and beat our envoys..." Davers said in a cold tone.

"It is said that Roman dictator Camillus lived in Adid for a long time and received strong support from Adid in the battle to expel the Gauls. Therefore, Camillus has a close relationship with Adid. Camillus often gave Adid a lot of care in the Roman Senate, so it is not surprising that Adidians would do this. But next, the Adidians probably had to give up their support for Camillus for the survival of their city-state." Henipolis comforted him.

"Since Ostia was burned down, Adidi attacked us with the main Rome force entrenched in Satneycomm, because it is not far from Antium, not too far from the camp we are about to build, and it also has a large port..." Davers narrowed his eyes, and there was a light flashing in his eyes: "We need to fully control this town to transfer and transport the food supply of the army, so we cannot accept Adidi's surrender, but to completely capture it!"

…………………………………

Outside the city of Satneycomb, thousands of Roman citizens were working tirelessly to build defense facilities and strengthen the city walls. The city was covered with deer forts, digging wide and deep into the trenches, setting up multiple layers of traps, and setting up multiple sentinels between the trap belts, expanding the entire defense range outward... The defense mode of the entire city is actually very similar to the defensive camps usually built by the army of Dionia.

Because the one who undertakes this task was Titus, who was the first to command the army to attack Ostia, deeply realized the power of Dionia's defense system from his failure, and then transplanted it after a slight change.

At this moment, he was standing on the top of the city and supervising the entire project. Although he saw the entire defense facility gradually taking shape with the efforts of the soldiers who were sweating profusely, there was no trace of joy on his face, but instead a look of gloom.

"General, Lord Quentus is here." His subordinates whispered beside him.

Upon hearing this, Titus turned around and glanced at Kuntus who was stepping up the stone stairs, and the irritability on his face flashed.

"Hey, Titus!"

Looking at the approaching Quentus, there was no trace of enthusiasm on Titus's face: "When did you come back? All the anti-city defense facilities in Antium have been built?!"
