Davers seemed to remember something, turned his head and looked at his son standing beside him: "Croto, give you a task, take a few staff to the camp of the Preparatory Team, and teach the soldiers carefully to play football and football so that they can play games. I will ask Thormid to postpone the Preparatory Team's game as much as possible..."

"Yes, your majesty, I will teach them in the shortest time!" After Crotokataks solemnly answered, he couldn't help asking: "Can I play with them?"

"I have to ask you Uncle Martonis." Davers smiled again and looked at Martonis.

Facing Crotokatax's eager gaze, Matonis chose to give in: "This...of course."

After the celebration of that day in Rome, Sextus now knew that Crotokatax was the son of King Davers. It can be seen that Davers attached great importance to the Roman reserve team. Of course, he warmly welcomed Crotokatax's joining.

"Your Majesty, we will not attack Satneycomb for the time being, so what about Antium and Vilitre?" Olivers reminded.

"For the time being, as before, send cavalry to watch them, wait for rugby and football before discussing after the game." Davers said this, and he was already thinking about it. He was ready to turn his next attack target to Antium, because there were not many defenders in the city and a port city. Capturing it would be more convenient for the sea transportation of military rations and supplies, and at the same time put pressure on the defenders of Satneycomb.

"Your Majesty, the Carthage army has landed in Sicily. This time, unlike the last time, our army in Sicily will face a huge threat. Should we end the Latinum war as soon as possible and rescue Sicily?!" Amintas was unwilling, so his tone of speaking became a little heavy.

Davers looked at him and his expression became serious: "I have said just now that the soldiers, like us, are all flesh-shaped, not iron-clad. They need proper rest and entertainment to entertain their melancholy and tiredness. Go back and see how many new faces have you changed from when you first arrived in Walsey! Don't you feel guilty at all! Since you say that the Carthage army threatens Sicily, we have suffered countless soldiers and attacked Satneycomb, and we can indeed end the Latinum war as soon as possible, but do you think you can defeat such a half-dead army to face the Carthage army?"

Davers' voice was not loud, but anyone could feel the anger in his words. A gust of cold wind seemed to blew into the tent, and almost everyone was shocked.

Amintas's face turned slightly red, but he didn't dare to speak again.

Seeing this, Davers smiled slightly, calmed his tone, and said slowly: "We don't attack Satneycomb, which does not mean that we just let it go. The camp should continue to advance to the city, clear the traps under the city, and tighten the encirclement; the crossbows should bombard the city walls every day and shoot fireballs into the city; the siege grounds should be built as soon as possible so that light infantry can attack the Roman soldiers at the city front at a long range... In short, keep the Roman defenders in a state of tension and fatigue!"

When Davers said this, he suddenly looked at Sextus in the distant corner and asked softly: "Sextus, before we attacked Sartneycomb, the Roman family who had come down from Capitolin to the city to persuade the surrender. Why is the effect not very good?"

Everyone's eyes turned to the Roman general. The young Sextus was not nervous because of his origin. He said with a complicated expression: "I think this... may be related to Camillus. He is very respected by these Roman citizens from nobles and is also a role model for them to learn from. He sent back the family you gave to him by His Majesty under the city of Rome. There will definitely be some civilians in the city who will learn from him. The Roman nobles protect their clan interests and will try their best to obtain honor for the family. Therefore, in the past... surrender to the enemy... they will be regarded as a shame by them. Therefore, many people may learn Camillus's approach. Others have other ideas in their hearts, and they will follow suit temporarily... and then we attacked too quickly. The defenders in the city resisted with all their might, so naturally no one would quietly go out of the city to surrender..."

"Camillus is an amazing Roman! Whether it is human and doing things, it is impossible to blame. Moreover, he is good at studying at such an age. You see, the defensive facilities he arranged under the city are to learn from us and improve them, but we suffered a lot! Unfortunately, according to the Turstromians, he is already paralyzed and said that he has a little difficulty in speaking. It seems that he can't live long..." Davers sighed.

The legion commanders were more or less dissatisfied when they heard this, while Sextus's face naturally showed a bit of sorrow.

Davers did not stop on this topic. He looked at Sextus and said, "It is early August, and the harvest season is about to come. Usually at this time, the food reserves in the people of the Dionians are about to be exhausted, and they are just waiting to harvest new food. I think the Latins should be the same. Camillus led the army to retreat to Satneycomb. Even if there is a certain grain reserve, I believe it will not be too much. It will be necessary to supply tens of thousands of soldiers. I believe it will not last long. Then let these families go to the city every day to persuade them to surrender. Do you think those Roman soldiers who are tired and hungry and always nervous can still hold on to the honor they praise?"

Sextus thought seriously and then answered frankly: "I think there are many people who can't do it."

"Yes, it's impossible to do it. Hungry is more painful than death." Davers raised his eyebrows slightly and said loudly: "As long as a small number of people choose to surrender, it will affect other Roman defenders, and their morale will quickly fall and eventually collapse... Sometimes killing people with a soft knife is more effective than fighting on the front."

"Your Majesty is right. If we don't attack forcefully, it will be easier to capture Satneycomb City, and it can greatly reduce casualties!" Thormid immediately praised.

Several legion commanders also expressed their agreement one after another, only Amintas did not speak, and he felt a little dissatisfied.

Davers saw it and didn't care too much. When he saw Martius walking into the tent, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, Commander Midolades has sent a messenger."

"Let him come in."

After the messenger of the Third Fleet saluted King Davers respectfully, he said excitedly: "Report to your Majesty, our 3rd Fleet captured Alenia in Corsica yesterday!"

Everyone in the tent was surprised to hear this news: You should know that Aleniya is the largest city-state in Corsica, and its city is not smaller than Adidi and Antium. The third fleet only has 6,000 fleet infantry, and there are no heavy infantry yet. He actually conquered Aleniya in such a short time?!

"How did you capture Alenia?" Davers asked curiously, and the other generals also raised their ears.

The messenger immediately told the whole process of conquering Alessia.

"Good to listen to the advice of your subordinates. Once a plan is formulated, it will be implemented seriously. Midolades did a pretty good job!" Davers praised loudly: "It is to formulate the most effective combat plan based on the situation of the enemy and me, rather than act recklessly, so that they can win and have small casualties. From this point of view, Midolades is already an excellent commander! The fleet infantry commander of the Third Fleet shouted... "

"Call Meyontied." Thormid immediately reminded in a low voice.

"Myontide, well, I've recorded it, he's very good too!" Davers praised seriously.

Several legion commanders also congratulated the victory, but their expressions were a little complicated. After all, the navy successfully captured a city-state without the help of the infantry legion.

Amintas felt that what Davers said just now was warning him.

"Your Majesty, Commander Midolades hopes to get your consent to go south to attack the Phoenician town of Sardinia." The messenger saw that Davers was happy and immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"Go back and tell Midolades that I told him before that he can decide the target of attack based on his own situation." Davers was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Now that he has captured Aleinia and has established a firm foothold on the sea of ​​Di Renian. Of course, you can choose the target of attack based on your own situation. But when you go back and tell him a word, continue to think more and reduce the casualties of soldiers like capturing Aleinia."

"My Majesty, I remember."

After the messenger left, Davers looked around and said with great enthusiasm: "Everyone, Alexis has captured Kautem, Beneventum, and the Kautenians have been completely crippled. The tribes of Hilpini have surrendered to us one after another. Kautenians and the Penteni retreated from the mountains and were unable to fight back. The war for Samone is coming to an end.

In Latinum, almost all the Latin city-states have surrendered, and the surrounding forces have expressed their friendship to us. Ascestes has managed Rome well and maintained stability. When the autumn harvest of grain, the Roman people will be benefited again, their support for Dionia will be further deepened, and the supply of military rations for the entire kingdom army will be greatly improved.

Just now, the 3rd Fleet sent good news again. The Carthage forces in Corsica have been eliminated and they will march into Sardinia... Now, the war in Dionia, north of Lijim, has become stable, and the battlefields are either taking a great advantage or are about to end.

In the case where the entire battle situation is beneficial to us, the Carthage army actually landed in Sicily again. In my opinion, it is not a bad thing, but a good thing. The Sicilian fleet has a maritime advantage. Plesous and Sipicou are both very capable. They can withstand the attack of the Carthaginians for a period of time, drag the Carthaginian army and destroy their spirits. When we end the war in Rome, we will gather the army and rush to Sicily to annihilate the Carthaginian army! At that time, I don’t believe that Carthaginians still have the ability to send another huge army!”

Davers's words made the generals very excited.
