[Chapter 171 Reinforcement of Ostia]

“In the end what I said is true or false, you become a citizen of Dionia, and you can find out yourself in the future.” Davers said noncommittally, and then asked: “You are here, what important things do you need to do? Tell me?”

Sextus was still thinking about what Davos said before, he was silent for a while, but Davos’ calm gaze made him feel a lot of pressure, he was a little unwilling and reluctant “This morning, when we set off from Prinister, there were more than 60,000 troops, but when we built the camp outside Rome, I found that the number of soldiers was much less… at least 20,000. The people quietly left the camp.” Sextus said while observing Davos’ expression.

Davos froze in his heart, and immediately turned countless thoughts in his mind, and then he said nonchalantly: “It turns out that Camelus used peace talks to confuse me, but secretly sent troops to attack Ostia, but he was young. Looking at the current Ostia, it is very difficult to capture it in a short period of time with only 20,000 people! I believe that by tomorrow, I will receive the news that the Ostia defenders have repelled the Roman army’s attack!”

Davos finished confidently, and comforted Sextus who looked a little lost: “Anyway, thank you very much for your reminder! As a Roman civilian, being able to serve as a squadron commander shows that you have excellent military capabilities. Have you applied to become a Dionysian citizen?”

“…Already applied.” Sextus said in a low voice. In fact, when the official of the household registration department asked him, he was still a little hesitant, but in the At the urging of his father, he finally agreed.

“Very good!” Davos looked at him approvingly and said loudly: “Now, I have decided to appoint you as the captain, responsible for organizing the civilians in Rome, setting up a reserve team, ready to fight at any time. In the future, Latin America will be pacified. Mu, formed a new Dionian Legion, if you have made enough military exploits, you will be a strong contender for this legion commander, are you willing to accept this appointment?”

After all, Sextus is a young man. The young man is passionate and heroic. It is his nature to yearn for success. Although he has been depressed since he entered the city of Rome, he is also affected by the appointment of Davos and the pie he painted in the future. Attracted, there is no more hesitation: “I do!”

“Martius.” Davos turned his head to his guard captain and said: “In a while, you will bring Sextus to Tormide and tell He and I appointed Sextus and put him in charge of helping Sextus prepare for the Roman reserve team.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Sektus.” Davos asked again kindly: “I don’t think there are a few civilian soldiers in the Roman army outside the city, but why are you the only ones who fled the camp?”

This time Sextus answered the question with a more serious attitude: “Because the Roman army built the camp to have There are stricter regulations. The legion must be separated from each other,

and it is forbidden to walk freely at night.

I still quietly told the civilians of this legion about the changes in the city of Rome while the soldiers were having dinner. Soldiers, but couldn’t get the message to the other legions, and some civilian soldiers who got the message didn’t leave with us, but I’m sure the news will be spread by tomorrow due to the chaos we caused in the camp tonight The whole army.”

Davos nodded silently and said with concern: “Sextus, thank you very much for coming to remind us that although we have taken precautions, this is still a great achievement! Before you led the civilian soldiers out of the camp and escaped back to Rome, you already made a merit. According to the regulations of our “Dionysian Military Law”, for the soldiers who have made merit, the kingdom will reward more land and other materials.

You have worked hard all day today, so you must be very tired. Hurry home and reunite with your family and get a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow, I will gather all the people of the city to gather in the square and issue a reward to you personally. Announce your appointment together, which will make it easier for you to carry out your tasks next. Oh, yes, there is also a house, and your merits are worthy of a large mansion. ”

Sextus hurriedly said: “I heard from my father that our family has moved to a large mansion.”

“Oh.” Davos laughed: “Then can you find your home tonight? If not, today Staying in the army camp of the First Corps at night, and attending a rally in the square tomorrow, when you go home with your rewards and appointments, your family will be even happier.”

“Your Majesty…I know where my home is, I can find it! ‘ Sextus was incoherent.

He hurriedly walked out of the Senate, before reaching out to wipe off the fine sweat on his forehead and letting out a long breath.

In his original imagination, the king of Dionia must be a majestic and domineering person, but he did not expect to be so amiable and caring and enthusiastic about himself, so that he originally questioned Dio The Nia government, and even quarreled about the self-defeating mentality of being imprisoned, but in the end, he almost learned from others and said the king’s honorary title, which made him both ashamed and a little confused.

He turned his head and looked at the senate under the dark sky. In the flickering candlelight, the gate that he used to feel sacred and insurmountable in the past, but now he saw it in his eyes, but found that it was so dilapidated.

After a long time, he moved his legs, walked forward, and walked faster and faster

“Father, you let the Roman soldiers who just fled back to the city to re-enter the city. Is it a bit too risky to pick up weapons and form a reserve team?” Clotokatax, who had been quietly listening just now, asked worriedly after Sextus left.

“You have this vigilance, it’s good!” Davos first praised his son, and then explained patiently: “As I said to Asistes before, there are only more than 1,000 people in the Roman reserve team. Even if all of them rebelled, it would not be a storm for the city of Rome, guarded by our more than 40,000 legions. On the contrary, it would be more convenient for us to supervise them by gathering them together for training. Taking this opportunity to show the Romans our tolerance, and using them with confidence and boldness, can make these civilians eliminate the hesitation in their hearts. In addition, there is Heni!”

Davos suddenly remembered something: “Write it down and inform Asistus tomorrow morning that when a meeting is held in the square, bring the families of the Roman nobles too. We will not only reward Sextus, but also We must also allocate land and housing to those Roman civilians who have fled back and applied for the citizenship of Dionia.”

“Your Majesty, this is a great way!” Henipolis couldn’t help but praised: “It will allow the city to More Roman civilians are affected by this and join us in Dionia, and it can also make the Roman civilians who have joined Dionia have to be more loyal to the kingdom amid the hatred of the noble family!”

Davos looked at something. Thinking of Cloto Katax, asked: “Clotto, what do we need to do most now?”

Cloto Katax thought for a while, and replied: “…Reinforce Ostia? ”

Yes! Camillous secretly sent an army to attack Ostia, and he must have realized the importance of Ostia to us. Now that the Roman army is facing difficulties, he will definitely attack Ostia with all his strength. Although Telis has sent people to report to me in the past two days, he has been strengthening the defense of Ostia city, but Ostia city wall is not high, too little help for the soldiers defending on the city, and Ostia city wall is not high There are only three reserve battalions from

Turii in the city of Tia

, and these soldiers, like Telis, lack real combat experience, so I’m a little worried!” Davos paced back and forth with a little worry, and soon he stopped.

Come down: “Kloto, you immediately rush to the camp of the Fifth Legion, and let the commander of the Georgris lead the five brigades to quickly go to the pier on the other side of the Shibashi Bridge to take a boat, and rush to Ostia overnight to reinforce Terry. S! The remaining troops of the Fifth Army are temporarily under the command of the Fourth Army Commander Olivers.”

Clotokatax did not immediately accept the order, he hesitated for a while, and suddenly said loudly: “Father, I request to follow the Fifth Army.

The legion goes to Ostia and participates in the battle!”

Davos was taken aback.

“You can also participate in the battle here, there is no need to go to Ostia.” Henipolis advised.

Clotokatax didn’t speak, just straightened his chest and looked directly at his father with a resolute expression.

Davos felt the eager longing in his bright eyes, he pondered for a while, and said, “You can go, you can, but you must promise me one thing.”

“As long as you let me go, anything is fine. Promise!” Clotokatax showed a happy face, and UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com replied immediately.

“You must obey the orders of Ostia’s governor, Telis, and the army commander, Georgris, and are not allowed to act without permission! Can you do it?”

“Yes!”

“Then take 50 palace guards with you. ”

Thank you, father!” Clotokatax excitedly gave Davos a strong hug, and then walked out of the Senate quickly.

“Your Majesty, I think it’s dangerous to let His Highness Cloto go to Ostia alone!” Henipolis urged worriedly.

Davos stared at the exit of the venue and sighed softly: “If the young eagle is always under the care of his parents, he will never learn to fly. It is rare that he has the determination to take risks, so let him go. !”
