In the Latinum region in central Italy, Camillus, who was concerned about in the Roman Senate, received an order from the Roman Senate: to lead the army left behind in Rome to repel the Wolsey coalition forces.

Although he repeatedly refused, saying that he was old and weak and was not suitable to lead troops, and hoped to give this task to a more suitable candidate, the Roman people strongly asked him to take the role because they actually did not expect him to lead by example and rush to the enemy. Instead, they strongly trusted his practical experience and military skills, and believed that he would definitely bring brilliant victory to Rome.

Camillus had no choice but to accept it.

Considering that Camillus was unable to fight to kill the enemy, the Senate also equipped him with a young military officer named Lucius Frius, as his partner.

The two led the only two legions in the city, a total of 12,000 Roman militias, gathered thousands of soldiers from allies, and then led their troops to advance to the southeast, and soon arrived in Prenister.

When he was about to encounter the Wolsey coalition, Camillus ordered the army to stop and camp. He wanted to delay the battle with the enemy first. On the one hand, he did not want to fight with the strong enemy at this moment, and wanted to wait for the enemy to slack off or force the enemy to take the initiative to attack their camp. On the other hand, one of the reasons why he had delayed the appointment of the Senate before was that he was cold, still had a fever, and was weak, and wanted to wait for his health to improve slightly before he was fighting against the enemy.

Unexpectedly, another young military officer, Frius, was eager to make contributions and was eager to fight with the enemy. Camillus was unable to fight because of his illness, which was just enough to allow him to monopolize his military achievements.

So he privately encouraged the troops in the army to make everyone petition for war. Camillus saw that it was difficult for everyone to disagree and did not want others to think that he did not want the young people to win merits and receive honors out of jealousy. So he reluctantly agreed: let Lucius Frius lead the army to fight, and he led a small number of soldiers to stay in the camp.

Out of concern for the war, he sent someone to inquire about the progress of the battle and reported to him at any time. However, he was lying on the hospital bed, but he couldn't sleep.

When he learned that the formation of the Roman army was not yet fully arranged, Frius rashly launched an attack, but was defeated by the enemy in one fell swoop. The defeated soldiers were fleeing to the camp, he forgot his illness, jumped up from the bed, and organized the remaining soldiers to quickly prepare for defense.

He personally ran to the camp gate and kept loudly advising the soldiers who retreated from the battlefield, asking them to pick up their weapons and fight back the enemies who followed them.

The defeated soldiers were ashamed to see the high prestige and gray-haired veteran nailed the gate like a rock and did not retreat. They turned around to fight, cooperated with the defenders in the camp, and finally drove away the enemy.

After this trouble, Camillus had a cold sweat and the cold was mostly cured. He couldn't help but thank Minerva for his blessing.

Frius, a military officer with a depressed and guilty expression, came to apologize to Camillus.

Instead of severely criticizing the young general who was reckless in fighting, Camillus patiently asked him about the entire battle process.

After thinking, he said to Frius: "Tomorrow we will lead our army out of the camp and fight a decisive battle with the enemy!"

Frius thought he had heard it wrong: "We just experienced the failure of the battle..."

"It is precisely because of this failure that the Roman citizens who advocate honor need a victory to wash away this shame!" Camillus said firmly.

Inspired, Frius nodded in agreement.

Soon, the news of the "Battle of Tomorrow" spread throughout the camp.

When the soldiers heard that the respected chief general Camillus would lead them out of the camp to fight to clean up the shame of this failure, they no longer felt dejected, but were ready to sweep the gods and vowed to the gods to avenge their revenge.

The next day, after Camillus led his army out of the camp for one mile, he stopped moving forward and quickly began to arrange his formation.

When the Wolsey coalition heard that the Romans who failed to fight yesterday actually walked out of the solid camp, they were very surprised and led their troops to come in a hurry.

Before they could fully unfold their formation, Camillus ordered: the entire army attack!

The Roman soldiers eager to take revenge launched a fierce attack on the Volsey coalition, and Camillus focused the attack on the weaker Helniki people.

After a fierce battle, the Wolsey coalition, which had a chaotic formation, was completely at a disadvantage. The Helnikis were defeated first, which immediately led to the defeat of the entire army.

Camillus ordered: The whole army continued to pursue, don’t relax!

The Roman army took the opportunity to occupy the enemy's camp, and most of the Volsey coalition soldiers were either killed or captured, and the Roman soldiers celebrated their victory.

But after a day off, news came that Bolae, another Latin ally in Rome, was captured by the Helniki.

Camillus immediately made a decision to first deport the heavy infantry back to Rome, and then led the light infantry to march all the way to Burne and launched an assault on the Hilniki people.

The Helniki people who had just occupied the town were defenseless and were quickly defeated, and most of the soldiers were killed.

Camillus returned to Rome with a large number of trophys and captives.

The Roman people cheered him.

At his suggestion, the Roman Senate allowed the Roman army that had returned from the north to conquer the Etruscans and other forces to launch an attack on the Equi, Herniki and other forces to the east.

Two months later, the Equi, Helniki, and Masi, who had suffered heavy losses in the previous war, were unable to resist and chose to surrender after repeated attacks.

After the Romans clarified the main enemies in the east and southeast, they began to turn their attention to the Wolseys in the south.

The Wolseys are an ancient race in Italy. They lived in the upper valley of the Ligus River in northeastern Italy hundreds of years ago. However, with the continuous invasion of the Celtics, the Wolseys, who could not compete with them, were forced to continue to migrate to the southwest of Italy. In the end, they settled on the fertile land in the south of Latinum and reproduced peacefully here for hundreds of years. However, with the rise and expansion of the Romans, the Wolseys had to start constant armed conflicts with this force that had become its northern neighbor.

In the past century, wars between the two sides have occurred many times. At the beginning, the Wolseys still had the upper hand. However, as Rome conquered the surrounding Latin city-states and established the Latin alliance, its strength increased greatly, and the Wolseys gradually felt difficult to attack Rome.

In the 358th year of the founding of the State of Rome (that is, 396 BC), Roman general Camillus led his army to capture the powerful Etruscan state in the northern region of the upper reaches of the Tiber River. This conquest not only completely occupied the surrounding land of the Taipei River Basin, but also shocked the surrounding races and forces.

So the Volseys signed a peace agreement with Rome.

But four years later, the Celtics captured the city of Rome, and Rome's strength declined, resulting in the dissolution of the Latin Alliance. The Volsians took the opportunity to tear up the agreement and united forces around Rome, constantly invading Roman territories and allies, until this time they were completely defeated by the army led by Camillus.

Before the Wolseys could breathe out of the defeat, the Roman army invaded the Wolseys' territory and surrounded the powerful state in the northwest of Wols, the powerful state in the northwest of Wols.

While gathering troops for rescue, the Wolseys were considering asking for reinforcements from other forces. It was because after the Romans carried out military reform in recent years, their strength became stronger and stronger. Several wars between Wolsey and the Romans ended in failure, and they became afraid of the Romans.

In fact, the more powerful force is closer to Volsi and the more powerful force is the Samones. Unfortunately, this powerful mountain race is always extremely aggressive to the surrounding forces. In the past years, Volsi and the Samones have also fought many times. Several towns near the Samones, such as Sora and Cepeatae, were also occupied by the Samones. How dare the Wolsi seek help from this violent hostile force?

Therefore, after discussion, the Volsey League unanimously agreed that only the powerful kingdom in the south, Dionia, was the most suitable target for help. However, Volsey had no formal diplomatic contact with Dionia before, and was afraid of being rejected, so the Volsey people thought of a solution.

The Volsi Alliance sent envoys to the Campania region by boat. There was a Campania alliance that the Volsi people seemed to be relatively powerful. Its relationship with Volsi was quite good, and the two sides often had trade exchanges.

The Campanian Alliance was originally just an alliance formed by the joint Greek colonial city-states in this area. The purpose was to protect the security of the city-state and jointly resist foreign enemies. Its main enemy was the Samonets in the mountains to the east. Later, some Etruscan city-states in the eastern part of the Campanian Plain, which were also invaded by the Samonets, also joined in.

The Etruscans were once the most powerful force in Italy, occupying the entire northern and most of the central part of Italy. Later, due to the invasion of the Celtics, its power was greatly weakened, and many territories were constantly occupied by other races, and their power began to retreat to the north. However, in the eastern part of the Campania Plain, there are still several Etruscan city-states led by Capua and Suessla.

After joining the Campania League, Capua once competed for the dominance of the alliance with Naples. However, after the Samones captured Capua 20 years ago, the alliance has been dominated by Naples.
