lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
As a warrior on the same fame as Matonis, Martius is relatively safe, without much ambition, and can be loyal to his duties, so Daves has always trusted him. Although the number of consul guards is full, they are also the guards in important places such as the Senate Chamber, the Temple of Hades, and the arena. The vacated places can be completely occupied by these chiefs and tribes in the hall. Young people recommended by the nobles to serve. If you want to integrate the Visignians into the Diorian League as soon as possible, these young elites of Bisignia should be added to the regime of the Diorian League, to understand Diorian’s system as soon as possible, and learn. Dionian culture is accustomed to the life of Dionian, so as Baguiripi said, it is assimilated into a real Dionian, and then returned to influence the people of Bisignia.
This matter, he needs to go back to discuss with the Senate, but now he can agree to it and join the guard as a volunteer in Bisignia. After Davers made up his mind, he immediately agreed.
Soon, the city of Bisignia formed a **** of more than 60 people.
Davers appointed Rodom as the captain of this guard and announced that they will be responsible for him to watch the night tonight.
As soon as the order came out, it was strongly opposed by Dracos, Capps and others.
But Daves insisted, and declared: "Now Bisignia is Dionia’s Bisignia, and Bisignia fighters are also Dionia’s soldiers! How can commanders not trust themselves? Soldiers under his men!"
Finally, Davos reached an agreement with Dracos and Capus, and Martius led the guards outside the courtyard and the Visignian soldiers guarded the courtyard.
Rodom and the others were very moved when they got the news, and vowed not to let Master Daves who trusted them be frightened a little bit.
Originally, the restless Businian people were relieved because of Davers's move.
Except for the senior generals of the legion, the ones most afraid of accidents are the chiefs of Bajilippi and the nobles of the tribe. You must know that once Daves has an accident, there will be two thousand Dionian soldiers in the city and more than 10,000 soldiers outside the city. , Their anger will burn the city of Bisignia to ashes, so they have repeatedly told the people who will guard tonight.
The night passed safely.
The next day, I slept with a peaceful Daves, and Capus, Dracos, the three Businian chiefs, and the allies of Heraclea and Castellon who hadn’t slept much all night. The generals of the army together discussed the matter of entering the Cosenza Plateau.
………………………
Sincinnag waited for the reinforcements sent out to quickly defeat the Eliyas, and then quickly returned. In fact, he didn't wait long before he saw Gnainath fleeing back with hundreds of remnants wounded.
"What did you say?! You were caught in an ambush by the Dionians?!" Cincinnag was incredulous: "Outside the city of Picsis, how can there be an army of Dionians? ?! Grumentum City has been under my surveillance, they have not sent a unit!"
Gnainath shook his head, and said weakly, "Elia...I am afraid they came from Elia...I can see very clearly that although they are all wearing Greek armor, most people His height and hair color...even the roaring voice is from Lucanians..."
After receiving the reminder from his son, Sinsingnag suddenly opened his mind: "You mean they are from Niutum... Why didn't our spies find out?!"
On the way back from Gnainat, he had already thought about it clearly. He coughed and said anxiously: "They...cough...should be boarded from Laos...maybe not along the coast. Go...cough cough...but went around a circle...our warship could not fight against the warships of Laos and Elia...so we could only cruise around the harbor...cough...nothing It’s good to be blocked...they are about three to four thousand people...Father, what should we do now?!"
"Go back! We must go back to Picosis right away!" Sinsingnag had a premonition: "Can your body persist?"
Gnaina characteristically nodded: "...huh...what about those tribes?"
"Let them follow us, we need more fighters now. If any tribe refuses to follow us--" Sinsingnag said with a gloomy look on his face, and said coldly: "We will Do it again at Grumentum!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the spies came in hurriedly: "Report to the chief that there has been a Dionian army north of us, about 4,000 people!"
"Report! The tribe in the south gathered about 5,000 fighters to come to our camp!"
"Report, Chief! Grumentum's army is out of the city! It is confirmed that their leader is Baggul!"
One bad news came one after another, making Cincinnag's cold sweat layer after layer, and his whole body soaked. When he heard the news, he was shocked: "You said Bagul was not injured?!"
"It seems to be, the big boss."
Sincinnag was dumbfounded. After a while, he murmured: "Conspiracy! This is a conspiracy designed by the Dionians!"
Suddenly he remembered something and said eagerly: "Go and call the leaders of the Lud and Brinna tribe, they will force them if they refuse to come!"
As soon as the guards went out, a leader of Picosis stumbled in: "The big boss is not good! Lud and Brian are taking the lead in the riot!"
"Puff!" Sinsinag was anxious, spurting blood on the ground.
……………………
Dionia attacked the camp of Picosis from the north, east, and south, but the camp was in chaos, unable to organize an effective defense, and was easily breached.
Gnainath died in battle, Sinsingnag took the minority people and fled into the mountains to the west, and most of the others surrendered.
"Commander of the Hieronymus legion, how to deal with so many prisoners?" Baggul asked his boss for instructions.
"According to Master Daves' orders, all were demoted to city-state slaves and sent back to Turri as a coolie for mining, building roads, and building temples..." Hironimos said to himself, fundamentally I didn’t pay attention to the expression on Bagul’s face: “In addition, we will draw out a thousand more Picosis prisoners to follow us to attack the city of Picosis, so as to force the tribes in the city to surrender.
Then he ordered: "Bagul, you continue to guard the city of Grumentum, and at the same time do not relax the surveillance of Potentia in the north. If there is an abnormal situation, immediately send a messenger to notify me."
"Yes."
"Agarcia, you go to urge the soldiers to speed up the progress of cleaning the battlefield, otherwise we will not be able to rest at night."
"Don't worry, Chief of the Legion. I will stare wide-eyed like a shepherd guarding the flock. Whoever dares to be lazy, I will spank him!" Agarcia laughed.
The Third Army cautiously implemented the entrapment plan proposed by Daves and their joint improvement, and finally had a relatively perfect result. Hieronymus gave a rare relaxed smile after finishing the assignment.
"Big Brother!" Asistes stopped Baggul, who was bowing his head and walking back: "Master Davos once said,'Do not be too kind to the enemy who surrenders, because too kind will let you The enemy forgets the mistakes they made and makes mistakes again, so we sometimes have to hold up the wooden stick to make the enemy fearful and remember the lesson.'The method that adults call'bread and stick'..."
Asistes looked at Baggul thoughtfully, and said with a serious look: "Our bill to appease the tribes in the north is good enough, not only to grant land, but also to some cattle and sheep unselfishly... …But when we were in danger, they did not stand with us to tide over the difficulties. Instead, they took refuge in the enemy, wishing to destroy us and carve up more of our land! This time, the severe punishment on them would be deterred. All the Lucanian tribes on this land, let them think carefully when making decisions related to us, whether to choose to accept bread or to accept a stick?!"
Bagul looked at the soldiers busy on the battlefield. They dismantled the enemy’s camp, picked up materials on the ground, grabbed abandoned weapons, removed the armor from the corpse... On the load car, he lifted the enemy’s corpses and threw them into the pile of corpses burning with blazing flames...
The mountain breeze passed, and ashes were floating everywhere in the air.
Bagul sighed and said: "I hope that after this battle, the Lucania region can truly restore peace!"
Bagul spit out the depression in his heart. He slapped Assistus on the shoulder and said loudly, "Anyway, Cincinnag, who finally solved the headache for us, should celebrate. ! Tonight, I will be a guest at your house. It has been a long time since I tasted my sister’s roasted lamb. Let’s not get drunk or go home!"
One month later, the Sinsingnagars who fled into the mountains were tired of avoiding the chase of the Dionian soldiers all day long. At the same time, they had to endure the hard life of the mountains and Sinssingnag's increasingly crazy abuse and beatings. Finally Can't help but take advantage of Sinsingnag's sleep, kill him, go down the mountain to Grumentum City to surrender, this is something later.
…………………………
When Pi Anlun led his army back to Cosenza, the rioting tribe had already fled.
In the following time, he led Petaru and Philotaru to calm the people in the city and meet other tribal leaders in the city...
Just as he was very busy, Knapetia's messenger rushed to Cosenza.
Pi Anlun was shocked when he received Pangheru’s request for help. He never expected that the city of Knapetia, known as "easy to defend and difficult to attack," only defended for more than ten days, and it was almost impossible to support it. . Moreover, what shocked him even more were the two terrifying siege weapons that Dionia had introduced in the letter of Pangueru.
