"When Pantius arrives, if the strength of the Dionians on the other side does not change much, perhaps we can fight......" Paulus said uncertainly.

It wasn't long before Villitre's army arrived.

After listening to Paulus's brief introduction to the war, Pantius, who was also a former military and political officer and older than Paulus, looked a little impatient: "What are you waiting for?!" Wait until all the Dionian armies have landed ashore, destroyed the surrounding towns, and attacked Rome?! Now is our only chance to beat the Ionians, and we can't miss it! Offensive! We must attack immediately!! ”

Neither Paulus nor Mejus raised objections, because if they didn't want to bear the great culpability, this was really the only chance!

Although the Dionian army lined up on the distant coast had more than 25,000 men, Antium had 7,500 men, Satnikum 8,000, and Villitre 10,000, and the total strength of the Roman army also exceeded 25,000 men.

The Dionians can't be allowed to increase their troops, and they must hurry up and fight! As soon as the three of them reached an agreement, they immediately began to move: Antium's and Satnikum's troops had already lined up, and Villitre's troops were quickly forming a formation next to the right of Satnikum's troops...... Soon, the huge Roman army began to advance.

…………………………………

The Romans have finally arrived! Amintas, who was standing in front of the military formation, saw the dust and smoke in the distance, and finally smiled, and said jokingly: "If I knew that the Romans were coming so late, I shouldn't have let the second legion appear in the array." ”

"Do you think the Romans are stupid, we've all landed for so long, and there are less than 20,000 troops lined up here?! Anyone knows that there must be an ambush here! Mattonis immediately retorted.

"It's finally time to officially fight the Romans!" Lizaru's eyes flashed with excitement, he had heard that the Ministry of War had always attached great importance to this Latin city-state in central Italy, and the last time he led his army to attack from the coast, he didn't feel anything special, but in the past two days of conversation with Amintas, he learned that the Romans were indeed not weak in combat, and their tactics were quite similar to the Dionian legions, so he was very much looking forward to fighting the Romans.

"It's time for us to go back and prepare for battle!" Ryders reminded as he looked at the long red line that loomed in the dust and mist in the distance.

Amintas immediately saluted the others and said solemnly: "Hades bless, victory belongs to the kingdom!" ”

"Victory belongs to Dionia!"

"We will win!"

The commander of the 2nd Legion, Matonis, the commander of the 3rd Legion, the commander of the 3rd Legion, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Corps, Rydes, and the commander of the 2nd Cavalry Corps, Kuchius, also saluted in response, and then galloped their horses and returned to their own formations, informing their officers to regroup and prepare for the battle.

The 1st Dionian Corps was located in the center, flanked by the 2nd and 3rd Corps on the left and right, and the 1st and 2nd Cavalry Corps were flanked behind the two flanks, with a total strength of about 27,000 men, and the entire army was four miles long. This is the most common formation, which shows the confidence of the commanders in their own soldiers, because they believe that their side is superior to the other in terms of numbers, morale, and combat effectiveness, and there is no need to make surprise moves to reduce the gap.

Amintas, coming from the rear of his legion, was watching the soldiers make the final preparations for the battle, and the herald hurried over: "Commander, Your Majesty is here!" ”

Amintas hurriedly turned his horse's head, and saw more than two hundred horsemen galloping behind him, and Davers, who had been in the lead, was wearing golden armor and a black coat, and the black feathers on his golden helmet were fluttering.

Behind him, two extremely strong riders on either side each held a large flag aloft.

One of them was a silvery-white double pronged with a black ribbon wrapped around it, and the top of the double prong, which was held tightly by a crown of aspen branches cast in gold, was King Davers's scepter.

The other shot is much larger. At the top of it is the golden statue of Hades, and under it there is a crossbar, which is inlaid with gold statuettes such as Thanatos, the Three Judges of Hades, the Nemesis, the Three-Headed Dog of Hell and Charon, all of which are subordinates of Hades, and are also the symbols of the legion, for example: the top statue of the military flag held by the legion brigade is the god of death, the statue at the top of the company flag is the goddess ......of revenge, and there is a longer transverse block further down the flagpole, which is no longer inlaid with any statues, but is pendant with some small golden medallions, These discs have heads on them, and they are all dedicated to the heroes of the Kingdom of Dioonia who died in battle in Valhalla, the main temple of Turiihades, such as Dracos, Zpit, and Sobexoth...... This is the military flag that represents the army of the Kingdom of Dionia, it is like a small tree made of gold, and the golden discs that shake as they move collide with each other, making a pleasant sound, as if the heroic spirit is whispering......

Amintas immediately drove his horse forward and gave a respectful military salute: "Your Majesty! ”

Davers also gave a military salute, and then said in a calm tone: "We are here to be the audience, and we will not interfere with your command." ”

Amyntas thought he had misheard, but seeing Davers's serious expression, he hurriedly said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" "Before this battle, the commanders of the regiment had deliberated and unanimously selected the most senior Amintath as the commander-in-chief of this battle, which was the first time that Amyntas had been in the army for more than 30 years to independently command a battle composed of multiple troops, and he was both excited and nervous, afraid that Davers would not let him command.

Davers smiled slightly, he had already heard from Printors on the way here, and he did not think that the Romans would be victorious when there were more soldiers than they were, and there were far more cavalry than the other side, even with the influence of previous history.

When Davers and his party came to the rear of the array, Matonis, Lizaru, Ledes, and Kuchius all rushed to greet them when they heard the news, and Davers encouraged them one by one.

The soldiers around them were very excited when they heard of King Davers's arrival, and they could not leave the place where they were, so they turned to salute him and cheered.

Soon, the cheers spread throughout the entire military formation: "King Davers wins!! ”

"Your Majesty is victorious!!"

……

In the midst of the tidal cheers, Patroclus, the captain of the First Legion, looked back frequently, and even if he had been in battle for a long time, he had an impulse to start fighting immediately, so that his father-in-law, who was in a prominent position and distinguished status in the back, could see his ability with his own eyes.

And for Adores, who was in the Second Legion, he was always eager to try, and he suddenly felt nervous when he heard of his adoptive father's arrival.

A mile away, Paulus, Mejuanus, and Pantius, who were directing the advance of the Roman soldiers, suddenly heard the thunderous cheers of the Dionian army on the opposite side, and could not help but look sad at the high morale of the enemy.

As the distance closes, Roman aristocrats like Paulus, Megius, and Pantius, who have received Greek higher education since childhood, can already faintly hear the cheers: "Your Majesty Davos, ...... victory"

Everyone was in the same mood: the king of Dioonia had arrived?!! The invincible magical king of Dionia?!!

During this period of time, due to the war between Rome and Dionia, the Romans began to seriously understand the information of the Kingdom of Dionia, of course, this is more about the rumors of the king of Dionia, this mercenary-born king since he came to Great Greece more than ten years ago, many times with a weak enemy, repeated victories, led only more than a thousand mercenaries to start, in just a dozen years to create the now powerful Dioonia Kingdom, this is simply a miracle! Now that the man who performed this miracle may be in front of him, how could this not make these Roman generals nervous!

In particular, Megus, who was in front of the middle of the military formation, could clearly see the two golden flags held high in the rear of the enemy formation shining in the sun, and even made him feel that his legs were a little weak.

But the army has been deployed, the soldiers are advancing, how can they retreat at this critical moment! Moreover, none of Dionia's previous victories had come from Rome, and the three Roman generals, who had not yet fought against the Dionian army, believed that the valiant Roman soldiers were different from the warriors of the city-states and races who had lost to the Dionian army in the past, and they had to do so at this time.

And so, the trumpet sounded again.

The high-pitched sound of the military horn not only excited the soldiers, but also drove away the anxiety in the hearts of the generals.

Davos stood quietly at the back of the military formation, looking at the Roman army in front of him, but his heart was slightly disturbed: although it was different from the Roman army he had seen on TV and movies in his previous life, this was the first time he had seen the Roman army in this life. The Dionian army, on the other hand, stood still, as silent as a towering mountain, and the color of their armor and shields was as cold as the night, making people shudder. This red and black, the colors are so distinct, what a bloody and heroic spark will collide on this land.

Davers subconsciously touched his chin with his hand.

As the Romans approached, the ground trembled as they roared and the horses under the crotches of Davers and his attendants began to feel uneasy, shaking their limbs and snorting incessantly.

……………………………………

Crotocardacasses, who was about to witness the first large-scale battle in his life, clenched his fists and looked nervous, but he was still trying to keep his eyes open and motionless to face the Roman army that was putting him under great psychological pressure.
