"Great! With Glicus's help, I believe our attack on the Mazi Tribe will be smoother!" Camillus said happily.

Maximus smiled and said, "Oh, I almost forgot. Back when we occupied Ophelia East Village, you and Glicus worked well together. I'm sure you'll enjoy collaborating again this time."

"Glicus is a very capable person and easy to get along with. I believe he will greatly assist us in conquering the Mazi Tribe!" Camillus said sincerely, although he was also speaking for Torrelugo to hear.

The Military Intelligence Bureau is a very special department in the Military Department. Normally, Legion Commanders and team officers have little interaction with them, and even less often see this Chief Officer of the bureau. Only when Maximus convenes the Military Department to discuss military plans do they meet him. Besides introducing military intelligence, Glicus would usually sit quietly in the corner of the hall, watching everyone and pondering something…

Previously, Torrelugo was reluctant to deal with such mysterious people, but after hearing the conversation between the two, he became interested in Glicus.

The Legion Commanders left the Brochi Main Camp, and Pequot pulled Oluus to the back. He whispered, "Next, we are to advance on the Andizeti, and I have an idea."

"Quick, tell me, what's your idea?!"

Oluus had previously worked together with Pequot in the Fourth Legion, and they got along quite well. Especially during the Panoni Alliance Army's two-pronged attack on the Nix Tribe, Oluus heeded Pequot's advice, ultimately achieving a victory against larger forces and annihilating the Segestica and Desitia alliance, although the Fourth Legion suffered heavy casualties as a result. This laid a solid foundation for the Nix's future annexation of the Segestica Tribe. The newly formed Fourth Legion also earned the praise of Maximus and the Military Department for this battle, making other legions take notice... So when Pequot had another suggestion, Oluus immediately listened intently.

"This time, as we attack the Andizeti, I suggest we split up our forces and advance from two directions," Pequot said, gesturing in the air with both hands: "You lead the Fourth Legion and Giant's Fury along the Sava River, attack Andizeti's main camp, and advance to the Danube River, completing the tasks assigned to us by our leader.

Meanwhile, I will lead the Fifth Legion, go straight through Andizeti's southern border, and then along the border, conquer the villages and camps of Andizeti…

This way, we can occupy more Andizeti land in the shortest time. By the time the Skodisqi Tribe rallies their army to attack Andizeti, our control over Andizeti's southern border will already prevent them from attacking us, unless they want to start a formal war with us Nix. Otherwise, they can only watch as we seize control of the entire Andizeti territory."

Oluus was greatly moved because, after yesterday's battle, they had reviewed the interrogation records of the captured enemies and realized that this time Andizeti and Mazi had given their all to support Brochi, but after the defeat, Andizeti's army suffered the most severe losses.

Because for Andizeti's routed soldiers to escape back to their homeland, they must cross the Sava River. However, after the battle began, the Nix Fleet blocked the entire river section near Brochi Main Camp, leaving the majority of Andizeti's routed soldiers with no escape route except to surrender.

Within the Andizeti, there are only about five or six thousand warriors remaining. With just one legion of six thousand heavy soldiers and five hundred crossbowmen, Oluus is confident he can defeat any army within the Andizeti territory. Moreover, with Giant's Fury and Well Railing's assistance, even if Andizeti sends heavy troops to defend the main camp, he is confident he can take it down alone.

But he still has one concern: "If we split our forces, I don't have to worry about food supply while advancing along the river, but you taking the army deep into Andizeti's territory, ensuring enough food supply for the soldiers is a matter that needs serious consideration. The daily food consumption of over six thousand soldiers is a significant number!"

Pequot had already thought about it: "I'll have the soldiers carry enough dry bread for five days. It's just after the autumn harvest now, and the food reserves of the various Andizeti tribes should be sufficient. During the advance, I'll have the soldiers procure food locally.

Of course, this method can only work in the short term. Over time, it may incite the Andizeti people to resist, which would violate the leader's warnings before the war. Therefore, we must mainly rely on the Supply Team's transportation. My idea is…

To build several temporary camps on the way to Andizeti's southern border, station a small number of soldiers there, and store military food supplies provided by the Supply Team, which will regularly transport to my main forces…"

Oluus was not surprised by this method proposed by Pequot, as the military meeting convened by the leader before the war had already discussed "how to ensure the supply of military food if the attack on Brochi goes smoothly and when advancing further on the Mazi Tribe," and this method was ultimately chosen.

"I think we can proceed this way," Oluus cautiously said. "However, if we split our forces, it will undoubtedly increase the transportation burden of the Supply Team. We must first inform Lebilus to prepare, and then report our new plan to the leader. I'm sure he will approve."

"Alright, as you say, let's do it this way."

Back in the main hall of Brochi's main camp, Maximus called for Glicus alone.

This Chief Officer of the Military Intelligence Bureau usually wore a melancholic expression, but today he was vibrant and spirited.

"Glicus," Maximus said, looking at him and praising, "Your Military Intelligence Bureau has worked hard over the past few years to gather intelligence on Brochi, allowing us to fully understand the situation and be well-prepared, enabling us to conquer Brochi smoothly. You've achieved great merit!

Moreover, you had your subordinates secretly promote the benefits of joining our Nix Tribe in Brochi. I believe this will greatly assist us in pacifying and persuading the Brochi people to surrender. If everything goes smoothly, this will be another achievement for the Military Intelligence Bureau!

Next, you will personally assist Torrelugo and the others in capturing the Mazi Tribe. If you can achieve success, I will credit you again! How about it, confident?"

Glicus replied with great confidence, "Leader, although in recent years, Mazi has not harbored the Segestica exiled tribesmen like Brochi did, and they have strengthened their territorial vigilance, making it difficult for our bureau to infiltrate their territory to gather intelligence on them.

But I was born and raised in Mazi, and the same goes for my subordinates. We understand Mazi very well. The current Mazi is like a wolf that has lost its claws and is trapped in a cage. My subordinates and I will do our utmost to help Legion Commanders Torrelugo and Camillus conquer the Mazi Tribe, ensuring that the Mazi tribesmen wholeheartedly submit to our Nix Tribe!"

"Very good!" Maximus was about to say more words of praise when he saw Glicus suddenly drop to his knees with a loud thud and kowtow heavily.

Then he looked at Maximus with an excited expression, saying, "Leader, when I joined the tribe, you once promised to avenge me and bring my wife back... Although this was my motivation for working hard for the tribe, I didn't hold out much hope because back then, our tribe's strength was far inferior to Segestica, and fulfilling my wish meant having to confront the powerful Pannonian Tribe Alliance!

At that time, I was already in despair, thinking I would never see my wife again and would die in the Nix Tribe old and alone!... Who would have thought, just four years! In just four years! You have led us to conquer Segestica, occupy Brochi, and soon we will destroy the Mazi!! Leader, you have truly fulfilled your promise!"

Speaking of this, Glicus raised his hands, palms facing the sky, and solemnly declared, "In front of the benevolent and great Danu Goddess, Glicus sincerely swears here! From today, I, Glicus, am a loyal dog of Leader Maximus, forever faithful to him, willing to do anything for him, even to the extent of sacrificing my life!"

After Glicus finished swearing, Maximus finally helped him up and said earnestly, "Glicus, you have endured hardships, but you never gave up. The Nix Tribe has reached this point today in large part due to your efforts!

Diligent people naturally attract the attention of the Danu Goddess, she has blessed you and ensured that your wishes are fulfilled! Once you reunite with your wife, I will bestow blessings upon you and your wife in the temple!"

"Thank you, Leader!" If not for Maximus's support, Glicus nearly knelt down again.

Rome granted Pompey great power to solve the increasingly severe Mediterranean pirate problem. As a result, Pompey cleared out all sea bandits in just three months, destroyed their bases, and ended the maritime threat that had plagued the Roman Republic for decades.

This was a brilliant victory!

Both the Roman nobles and the commoners were greatly astonished, so when Pompey returned to Rome leading the army, the name "Magnus" echoed throughout the city.

However, Pompey did not become intoxicated with this enormous praise. During his campaign against the pirates, he took some time to visit the Greek Academy on Rhodes Island and attended a lecture by Posidrius, the most renowned scholar in the Eastern Mediterranean.

After the lecture, the two privately discussed matters in which Posidrius said two things that left a deep impression on Pompey.

One was "always act in a more noble manner," which led him to pardon the captured pirates, establishing a town for their resettlement, naming it "Pompeyopolis," hoping that mercy and generosity would permanently enhance the glory of his name.
