"Second brother is back?!" Puamot accidentally touched his helmet to the ground, he didn't care, and asked excitedly, "Where is he?!" ”

"Big brother, I'm back!" With a majestic shout, Paulette's stout figure appeared in the hall.

Puamot hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him tightly with both hands: "Second brother, you're back!" Great, you're back! Puamot's excited voice was a little choked, he had never missed his warlike brother so strongly as he did today: yes, balancing the interests of various tribes and governing towns is what Puamot is good at, but when it comes to marching and fighting and boosting morale, it is none other than his younger brother, who has been fond of trouble since childhood. And more importantly......

"Has Turii sent reinforcements?" He asked urgently.

"It's coming! Led by Lord Davers himself, they are the two strongest legions in Dionia, with a total of 20,000 men! Pollett said excitedly.

"Great! It's finally here! God Asinu bless! Puamot covered his chest with his hands with relief, and his pale face also brightened: "Where have they been?" ”

"They didn't come directly to Pothenia, but to Picosis to prepare to attack Poseidnia......" Pollette saw that his brother was so happy that he unconsciously lowered his voice a little.

"Attack Poseidonia?" The smile on Puamot's face froze, followed by anger: "Our city of Pothenia is about to be breached by the Samoneans, and that Davers actually ran away with reinforcements to a small seaside town a hundred miles away from here that we don't even care much about!" What sinister intentions does he have?! Do you want to watch us be wiped out and he will come and pick up the bargain?! ……”

It was rare for Pollett to see his big brother with a calm personality and always treat people gently, but at this moment he didn't have the heart to look at the joke: "Big brother, listen to me!" Listen to me! Lord Davers attacked Posedonia in order to end the siege of Pothenia by the Samones and even defeat them! ”

Puamot, who was preparing to drop the wooden chair in the hall, listened to his brother's shout, and dropped the chair with a "bang", and still asked suspiciously, "Is it?" ”

"Yes." Porot did not avoid his gaze, and said solemnly: "After receiving your urgent letter, I wanted to return to Pothenia from Turiyi immediately, but I was stopped by Master Davers, because he wanted to personally lead the troops to the rescue, and he needed a guide who knew Pothenia and Samonay to provide him with useful advice, so I set off with the Dionian reinforcements...... Master Davers asked me to return to Pothenia as soon as possible after Picosis had finalized the plan of action for the Dionian army to repel the Samonaeans, so that I could cooperate with him in future military operations. He wanted to send a team to escort me back, but I refused.

This is where I grew up playing, every hillside, every path, every cave, every boulder is very familiar, and the Samonai people are so tightly sealed that I can sneak in. If you take them with you, it's called a dangerous ......."

Listening to what Polette said, especially after knowing Davers's plan, Puamot gradually calmed down: "So the Dioonians have now begun to march towards Poseidonia, and what we have to do now is to pay close attention to the movements of the Samonai people under the mountain......"

"Yes." Poulette nodded again.

Puamot let out a sigh, and his whole body relaxed: "Second brother, since you have returned, then I will hand over the heavy responsibility of leading the Portetia warriors to fight against the Samonains!" ”

Paulette shook his head: "Not yet, big brother." ”

"Why?" Puamot was a little confused.

"Because the movement is so great, if the Samonai know that I have returned, who should have been in Turiyi, they may guess that Dionia's reinforcements may have arrived, and Lord Davers's plan may fail! I even suggest you withhold the news of my return for the time being! ”

Puamot thought about it and couldn't help but say, "Second brother, what you said is very right! I didn't expect to go to Turii, and now you have become careful in thinking about things! ”

Pollett was a little embarrassed: "This is all a reminder from Master Davers. ”

"Master Davers?" Only then did Puamot sense the strangeness of Paulette's words: "I remember you didn't call him that before. Puamot said slowly.

Pollett recalled in his mind the days when he had been operating with the Ionian Legion and had been in contact with Davers many times, and replied earnestly: "He is indeed a remarkable man!" ”

…………………………

Cipros also hoped that the Syracuse would be able to rest the next day after a day's rapid march, so as to give Trina, Crotone, and Siridine some buffer time so that they could prepare the defense of the north bank of the Ramato.

But the great Greeks underestimated Dionysius' determination, and when he gave it his all, his action and intelligence were terrifying. If it weren't for the support of the Spartans, Dionysius would have been ousted from the throne of tyrants by the angry people, and it was at this critical time that Dionysius developed his strategy to the extreme: he took advantage of the fact that the Carthaginians were plagued by plague, led the army out of the city in the dark night, advanced by sea and land, attacked the east and west, and hid the main force, causing the experienced Shimirko to misjudge and finally suffer a crushing defeat.

This time, in order to conquer Great Greece, Dionysius prepared an extremely large army and a huge amount of supplies, and in order to attract some forces to cause trouble for Dionia, Syracuse paid a great price. Therefore, if this expedition fails, Dionysius' rule in Syracuse will also be shaken. So he has been in high spirits since he set out from Sicily to the present, and he has been disdainful of Dioonia on the surface, it is to give confidence to the soldiers, but there has always been a deep fear in his heart.

For this, he, of course, understood the importance of time for the army of Syracuse. Before yesterday's march, he had Lockley urgently inform the Hibernians in advance that they had roughly set up camp in advance, so that when the army arrived, although it was also chaotic, it was much better than when it landed in Lockley, and at least most of the soldiers had their sleep basically guaranteed. Thus, early the next morning, Dionysius began to assemble his troops, and although the soldiers complained, they had to obediently pull out the camp and go north under his authority.

At the same time, he ordered Syracuse's fleet to sail north from the port of Hibernian into the Ramato River.

By noon, this large, disorganized army had reached the confluence of the middle section of the Ramato River with its tributary, the Corta River.

Trina had spies to keep an eye on Hibernian day and night, and Hibernian also had spies to observe the north bank of the Ramato, so Dionysius knew that there was a large section of the Corta River that could be crossed, and that there were not many defenders on the other side of the river, so the army turned around and headed south for the middle reaches of the Corta River.

The scouts on the other side of the river responded quickly, and the chief general of Trina, Sipros, complained when he learned of the actions of the Syracuses. He was in control of the nearly 7,000 Trina soldiers who had exhausted the city, but he did not dare to act rashly, because the lighthouse sentry in the harbor also came with an urgent report: there were countless Syracuse warships in the bay where Trina was located, and many soldiers could be seen on board.

Fearing that they would land on the northern coast of Trina, Cipros had to be on guard at all times, and did not dare to hastily divide his forces to assist Siriting.

It was only after receiving an urgent briefing from the Trina and the shore defenders last night that Siriting hastily increased the strength of the north bank of the Corta River to 12,000 this morning. But he didn't expect that as soon as he was stationed, the army of Syracuse arrived.

When Athesias, the general of the Siritin's army, saw the Syracuse soldiers on the other side, and the number of them was increasing, vast and boundless, and his heart could not help but shudder, and he cursed vigorously: why haven't the reinforcements from Crotone arrived yet?!! The strength in his hands is too thin to spread on this long stretch of river bank that can be walked!!

And Crotone, whom he cursed, received a call for help from Trina's messenger Starry Night last night, and realized the gravity of the situation, and sent soldiers to inform all citizens of appropriate age in and out of the city late at night.

Early this morning, there were citizens in the square who came to report one after another.

By the morning, 14,000 people had gathered in the square, and more citizens were arriving......

But Lycias and the generals couldn't wait, so they let Astamas lead this part of the army first, and the rest of the citizen soldiers and baggage arrived later.

While Acerhias was cursing the Crotonens, Crotone's troops were anxiously on their way to Cilitin.

But Dionysius was clearly not prepared to give the South and Italy any respite, and at his urging, the army of Syracuse quickly rushed to the south bank of the Corta River and began to line up.

During this period of army formation, part of the Syracuse warships sailed into the Ramato River.

The city of Trina is not like Turii is across the banks of the river, the city of Trina is located on the north bank of the river, and the land on the south bank belongs to Hibernian, so the Ramato River is the boundary river between the two city-states, because the two cities belonged to different alliances in the past, and the Crotone League and the Lockrie League were mortal enemies, so there was little contact between the two cities, and it was impossible to build a pontoon bridge over the river. And most of Trina's original warships were handed over to Dionia, of course, even if all of them existed, they could not be the opponents of the powerful Syracuse navy, so the Trina people watched the enemy warships sail towards the upper reaches of the Ramato River one after another, but the gods were also helping the Syracuse people, and the southwest wind was blowing at the moment, which saved a lot of effort for the Syracuse sailors to paddle against the current.
