lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
This time, Adepiguis came from Cosenza specially to report to Aristilas: After the defeat of the Battle of Ramato, the soldiers of the Fifth Legion released by Dionysius opposed It is hoped that the impact caused by the Bruti area will arouse the vigilance of the Senate. Unexpectedly, he ran into this incident. Since he used to graze for many years when he was a slave, he was superb riding skills and was familiar with the terrain of the Cosenza Plateau. Long-distance mail delivery in the dark is likely to be successful.
At this moment, after understanding the whole story, Aristilas knew that it was a matter of great importance, and did not dare to make the slightest negligence, so he immediately made a decision: "Go, you and I will go to Master Maliji immediately!"
Why went to see the commercial officer Mariji, not the inspector Sesta, who really has the power to punish the elders who leave without permission, or the Kunogolata, who is temporarily in charge of the entire Dionian administration?
That’s because Mariji is the confidant of Lord Daves, and he is familiar with the intelligence department in charge of Alistairs, and Alistairs has seen Kunogolata several times and obviously feels that he is right Own disgust. As for Sesta, he is mainly unfamiliar and afraid of delaying time.
After Mariji heard the shocking news, he went to see Sesta without any hesitation. Sesta immediately sent someone to check these veteran residences, and it turned out that someone went to the building.
So, everyone immediately joined forces and came to Kunogolata Mansion.
Kunogolata is old after all, although it is not late at night, he is already asleep. After being awakened, he was still a little confused, and Sesta could be heard saying: "Petaru, Begum, and Kadulke left Turri without authorization and went quietly to Bruti, which may trigger a sentence. Mess!"
His sleepiness was completely shocked.
"Regardless of whether their departure was due to urgent matters in the tribe, or other reasons, without the approval of the Senate, leaving without authorization is a violation of the Union's laws!" Kunogorata said tactfully, but it was difficult. Cover your anxiety: "Immediately send a cavalry to the Bruti area to see if they can be chased back! If you don’t catch up, you will rush to Cosenza and inform Hiros to strengthen your guard and search. Once you find them , Immediately put them in'care'!"
At this time, there are 500 cavalry remaining in the city, but they are all citizens and are not armed. They must be awakened from house to house at this late hour, so Kunogorata reminded him again: "Go gather When you are cavalry, don't make too much noise, so as not to cause panic among the people!"
"If the cavalry catch up with them, what do they do if they resist?" Sesta asked coldly.
"It's best not to hurt them, there is really no way to hurt them, but you must not—" Kunogolata's voice just fell, and Sesta strode out.
"There is one thing I forgot to say... In fact, Aristiras has sent someone to rush to Cosenza to inform Hiros before Petarus." Mariji interjected in time for Daves. The intelligence officer of the United States demonstrated merit.
"Oh, isn't it?!" This is really an unexpected surprise! Kunogolata hurriedly looked at Alistairs who was standing in the corner of the living room.
"The situation was urgent at the time. The decision I made without authorization was just to make Cosenza Chief Executive Shiros more vigilant. My people are rushing to Cosenza, and now it’s dark and it’s hard to get there. I hope he can grab them. I rushed to Cosenza before," Alistairs explained.
Because of previous prejudice, Kunogolata couldn’t say his praise to the intelligence chief, he just nodded, and then said to Mariji: “Although it’s late, we must inform the other elders and tell What happened to them tonight makes them mentally prepared. So Maliji, please go and let them come to me." Kunogolata is to remedy it after the incident, so as not to be said that he is arbitrary, that’s right. Daves has an explanation.
"Okay!" Mariji replied simply, turning around and walking outside.
Aristilas also followed out, and was stopped by Kunogolata: "You stay."
Aristilas looked at Kuno Gorata in surprise and asked, "What is your name?"
"Aris Tiras."
"Aristiras, you did a good job before!" Kunogolata said with a serious expression, "I know you are in the eyes of Lord Daves. Now Dionia is not in a good situation. , I hope you can do me a favor temporarily."
"As a Dionian citizen, it is my duty to contribute to the alliance." Aristilas immediately stated his position.
"I want you to send someone to follow the movements of the other elders in the Senate. Before Master Davers returns, please tell me if there is any abnormality. When Davers returns, I will report He explained." Kunogolata looked at him.
Aristilas hesitated for a while, then reluctantly nodded and said: "Well, Master Kunogolata, I will report to you every day."
Out of the Kunogorata mansion, Aristilas shook his fist slightly, and smiled on his face: before they could only do things sneakily, and they were also disgusted by some elders. This time they can get the elders. The recognition of Kunogolata, an important figure in the United States, can be said to be a big step from the intelligence department to the bright side.
………………………………
On the avenue leading to Cosenza, a group of dozens of people, including Bogam, Petaru, Kadulke, held torches, and sprinted all the way.
Looking beyond the fire-shrouded area, there is a dark wilderness in front of you, and you can only hear the strong mountain wind passing over the unobstructed plateau, making a stern whistling sound, as if a woman is crying...
Petaru wrapped his leather robe tighter. In this bad winter night, he not only felt cold in his body, but also a little cold in his heart: Although he had made up his mind, he wanted to leave the Dionian League. , But really took action, what is the fate of him and his tribe in the future? Just like the road in front of you where you can't see the five fingers, he can't estimate...
"Listen, what sound is this?!" Kadulke suddenly shouted.
"It's a wolf cry!" Someone distinguished it from the sound of the wind, and loudly reminded: "Beware of wolves ahead!"
The crowd gathered together in a hurry, not daring to leave. In the wilderness of night, meeting a wolf is a headache.
Everyone proceeded carefully.
It didn't take long before they saw five or six wolves gnawing at something beside the road. They used torches, lances and daggers to disperse these evil wolves with green eyes and grinning teeth. They did not go far, but hovered around.
"It's a horse carcass!" Everyone can see what the wolf is biting.
"It should have been not long after he died." After listening to the people's words, Bogam's face became solemn: "It seems that someone rode past here not long ago."
Petaru "cocked" in his heart, and his face also became ugly: "It is possible that someone discovered our actions and rode to Cosenza to inform!"
"We go so secretly, they can’t know in advance, and the fastest way to Cosenza is this. Even if they are found, they can’t walk in front of us. This time it’s just a coincidence, it must be someone’s. The stables were not tight, and the horse sneaked out and was bitten to death by the wolf..." Kadulke argued.
"But it's not a Bruti horse." Bogam reminded him, who was looking closely at the horse carcass: "The skeleton of a horse carcass on the ground is bigger than the short Bruti horse."
"You don't know. Many tribes on the Cosenza Plateau also raise horses from other places." Kadurke retorted again.
"Well, don't fight, no matter where this horse comes from, we must be vigilant." Petaru hurried up to the round field, and said: "I decided to go to the south of Cosenza. The tribe (as one of the main initiators of the Bruti War, the main accomplice of the Pi'anlun tribe-Petaru's tribe was split after the war, one is near Cosenza, the other One was moved to the edge of Knapetia's territory)."
"I must go back to Cosenza," Kadulke said. When he opened the city gate and led Dionia into the inner city of Cosenza, he was rewarded by Dionia. His tribe is intact and has not been moved. Among the many small tribes in Cosenza now A dominance.
"Be careful yourself." Petaru can only say that, because Kadulke does not sneak back into the tribe and takes away enough warriors, which will not help them in their rebellion. This is why he put aside the past. The reason for his prejudice and willingness to join hands with him.
"After you persuade your tribe, don’t forget to lead them to Ambalia as soon as possible! Only when we get together can we become strong, so that the Dionians don’t dare to attack easily, we have Enough time to make more choices!" Burgam reminded the two.
……………………………
After Bruti was incorporated into Dionia, the city of Cosenza has changed a lot in recent years.
The inner city is the administrative area, mainly including the city hall, council hall, court, temple, square, and the military department next to the square, the residence of the chief executive, and the residences of officials.
The main function of the Chamber is: the Chief Executive of Cosenza negotiates with the leaders of various tribes in Bruti about some management matters in the Bruti area. From this point of view, other Greek cities are still preparing local councils, and Cosenza has already implemented a similar mechanism. Of course, this has something to do with the tribal-based survival status of the Bruti area. A similar mechanism is also implemented in Grumentum in Lucania.
Speaking of the courts in the city of Cosenza, the "Dionian Law" stipulates that the tribe can punish the tribe in accordance with the rules of the clan for breaking the law. The judge conducted another trial in accordance with the Dionian Citizenship Law, and finally negotiated with the tribal leader to resolve it. Since tribes often set off based on the interests of the tribe as a whole or the leader, most offenders disobeyed the punishments they made, and turned to the court of Cosenza. Although this made the work of judges more and more busy, the court also changed from the beginning. The number of people has increased to five, but its fairness has been increasingly recognized by the Bruti people.
