Chapter 271 Stolo's tangle
Mejius beside him pushed him and whispered: "What are you doing while standing there? Hurry up and help us translate! What did he say?!"
Davers heard the whispers around him, and he ignored them and continued: "Just after our army landed in Latinum and captured Rome, the elderly Roman dictator was still fighting tenaciously, even ignoring his relatives and being in danger. Even though he was seriously ill and bedridden, he was still fighting to regain Rome. Even when he fought to the last moment of his life, he also wrote a surrender book for the safety of the Roman citizens, regardless of the damage to his reputation... Camillus always loved his mother country and devoted his strength to the people of the mother country. He was the hero of Rome! It should also be a role model for our generals and officials of Dionia to learn from! May his soul return to the Kingdom of God and be at peace!"
Davers finished speaking with a solemn expression, raised his hands flat, his palms facing the sky, and bowed down again to salute.
Olus did not expect that a foreign king would have such a high evaluation of Camillus, which made his face slightly hot. He couldn't help but think of the fact that he had conspired with Quentus in private to seize Camillus' command over the army. He couldn't help but feel ashamed. He translated what Davers said loudly.
After hearing this, Mejius and the others all looked depressed and they knelt on the ground, crying for a moment.
Davers turned around, closed his solemn expression, and said to Thormid: "Let's start following the agreement."
Soon, many doctors Dionia, wearing cloth scarves and wrapped robes, entered the Roman team and conducted detailed physical examinations on these soldiers. Any Roman soldiers and people with strange bodies would be taken to the newly built camp by fully armed Dionia soldiers and were not allowed to go out. Dr. Dionia was responsible for special treatment and care.
Other Roman soldiers and people who had not yet found the problem were taken to another newly built camp and could not go out. Doctor Dionia would check at any time and find any abnormalities and immediately send them to the patient's camp for treatment by the doctors.
Due to the respect shown by King Davers and others to Camillus before, the Romans reduced a lot of conflicts in the entire inspection and escort process. Of course, this was also related to their complete distraction and helplessness after they knew that the plague was spreading in the city.
The doctors and soldiers were busy for most of the day and finally let these Romans live in the camp where they should live.
But their work has not yet ended. There are still many Roman wounded soldiers lying in the city gate area. They will be carried to another newly built camp for treatment and patient observation by the medical camp.
After all this is done, some soldiers wearing tightly protected Dionians enter the city, pour asphalt everywhere in the city, and completely burn the entire town. This is the fastest way to eliminate the source of the plague.
After reaching an agreement with Olus, Davers immediately sent someone to notify the Wolseys in the south and told them that Sutneycomb City would be burned.
When the Wolsey heard that a plague occurred in Satneycomb, he suddenly changed his mind and was afraid to avoid it. He dared not object.
While the fire broke out in the entire city of Satneycomb, Camillus's body was also cremated in front of Roman generals such as Olus and Megius.
Olus and others were lost, and they stared blankly at the burning fire, as if Rome was slowly transformed into ashes like Camillus' body, and everyone shed tears for this.
Davers looked at the dejected Roman generals being escorted by soldiers to the camp and couldn't help but frown and sighed: "This sudden plague will delay us a lot!"
After all, Davers did not study medicine in his previous life. He did not know how long the incubation period of this infectious disease was. To be on the safe side, he asked the army in the camp to stay here for 15 days, while supervising the Romans in other camps to prevent them from escaping, and also to observe whether there were also sick people among the soldiers of the Dionians so that they could be isolated and treated in time.
At this time, Thormid advised with concern: "Your Majesty, we are enough here next. You should sit in Rome, stabilize the order of the entire occupied area, and plan a war against the Carthaginians!"
"Tormid is right. Your Majesty, the last army of Rome has surrendered, and only Vilitre is nothing to worry about. The war in Latinum has finally ended. Just have us here. You should go back to Rome!" Olivers also quickly persuaded.
Davers waved his hand and said firmly: "This matter has been discussed, don't persuade me anymore. I will stay with you and the soldiers and overcome this difficulty together!"
After saying that, he looked at Crotokataks next to him and asked, "Croto, where are you?"
Crotokatakus replied without hesitation: "Father, you once said, 'The people have given great glory to the royal family, but at the same time it also means that we have to bear great responsibility.' I will not be a deserter, I will stay here too!"
"Well said!" Davers smiled with relief.

"Today's work is over, everyone should go home quickly." Storo stood beside engineer Dionia and translated his words in Latin.
The Romans, who were originally demolishing the dilapidated houses on both sides of the street, immediately put down their tools and cheered.
The engineer once again cautiously told them loudly, "I must arrive early tomorrow."
The Romans made a promise loudly and then scattered.
Storo did not leave immediately. He quietly watched the Dionian citizens who had just arrived in Rome and were working on the reconstruction of the neighborhood like the Romans seriously packed up all the construction tools. Their leaders asked the engineers about tomorrow's construction schedule, and then they discussed together, determined the time for tomorrow's gathering, and clarified the tasks each person was responsible for, and then left together.
When they left, these Dionian citizens shouted to him friendly: "Stroro, go, play rugby together!"
Storo smiled and said his refusal.
After these young Dionian citizens moved to Rome, they also brought rugby to Rome. Storlo had seen the rugby match held by these Dionian citizens with his own eyes. The rules were complicated and interesting, the scene was fierce and very attractive. He even thought it was much more interesting than the bloody gladiator match held in Rome.
"Why not go with me?" A voice came from behind.
Storlo turned around and saw that it was Mainas, the new Chief Demo of Laventing City, and the general manager of the renovation of the slums this time, so he said lightly: "It's already a little late, and I have to rush back to have dinner."
"It's still early autumn, and it's still a few hours before it's dark." Maienas exposes his perfunctory remarks without hesitation: "I think you are the knot in your heart that has not been untied yet, and you haven't taken the initiative to adapt to this new Rome."
Storlo opened his mouth and finally remained silent.
Since Stolo and Sextus were both outstanding figures among Roman civilians, they had many contacts and were good friends, Sextus's father, Meinus, said to him earnestly in the tone of an elder: "You are different from Sextus. You have a deep connection with the original Roman nobles. Your father is said to still resist stubbornly in the city of Satneycomb, and your father-in-law is still stuck on Capitolin Mountain and even rejected your persuasion. It is indeed difficult for you to get stuck in the middle... But you must make up your mind as soon as possible!
Judging from the current situation, your father and your father-in-law's resistance to Dionia will definitely fail! In the future, Rome will only be the Rome of the Kingdom of Dionia. We must all work hard to adapt to this new change, and new changes mean new opportunities! For example, like me... like Sextus... we will be able to obtain the royal office of the kingdom that we had never thought about before.
I can feel that the Dionians value you more, and you should also be able to obtain a good position as a new starting point for you in this kingdom, and to win more rights for yourself and for us Roman civilians in the future! But you must seize the time, and the opportunity will not be waiting for you forever! See those young people from Dionia!"
Maienas pointed at the citizens of Dionia who had gone away in groups and sighed: "You must have felt that these new Dionians have been well-educated, not only healthy, but also intelligent, but also better obey orders and know how to work together. The work they are responsible for is always done quickly and well... terrible! As far as I know, their parents were once poor people in the Greek city-state like us, poor and ignorant, and ignorant.
No wonder Dionia conquered Rome so easily! The only place we have the advantage now - we are Romans, more familiar with the Roman people than them, and more about the surrounding Latinum... But once they live here for a long time and become familiar with everything here, then... "
Maineas didn't say anything. Seeing Storo's face slightly changed, he knew that he had listened, so he patted his shoulder gently and said solemnly: "Think about it, for yourself and for us Romans, don't miss the opportunity!"
After Maineas left, his words continued to echo in Storo's mind, and he walked slowly on the streets of Laventing while he was thinking.
If it were in the past, Stolo would not dare to be so distracted. The roads in the Roman city were very bad, especially in the Laventing area, where the ground was uneven, garbage was everywhere, and sewage was flowing everywhere, so he walked very carefully. However, after the Dionians occupied the city of Rome, the new Roman chief executive, Asistes, ignored the war was still going on, and soon began to exercise his rights and promulgate many measures. One of the important ones was to transform the Roman city, and first started from the Laventing area, which had the worst environmental sanitation.
He started a continuous urban transformation campaign with the soldiers stationed in the city, with Roman civilians as the support, and later joined the Dionian citizens who moved to Rome. One month later, it can be said that the road reconstruction in the entire Laventing area has been basically completed.
Chapter completed!
