"Are you saying that Cosenza might have another riot?" Daves asked immediately.

"This...it's hard to say." After thinking about it, Hegecitus said cautiously: "I heard that Pi Arun, in order to prevent these tribal leaders from staying in the city, is not good for the alliance, specially let them lead the previous The tribesmen set off together. When I came here today with the rebellious tribe, I haven’t heard anything unusual about Cosenza."

Davers pondered for a moment, and said, "Hegecitus, thank you very much for what you have done to Dionia! Next time I will ask you about the situation in the Bruti area. Don’t let The leaders of these tribes have been waiting outside the camp for a long time. Bring them all in."

Hegecitus said emotionally: "My lord Archon, without the protection of you and Dionia, not only can my people and I not be able to avenge, but we have already starved to death in the mountains. We are willing to help Dionia does anything!"

Davers nodded moved, and turned around and said: "Martius, you go with him to pick up the tribe leaders. Besides—" Daves whispered to him, "Be sure to take these people from The place that the big boss of Vig City can see passes by."

…………………………

Sedorum was shocked when he saw the tribal leader who was supposed to be in Cosenza city at Dionia Barracks unexpectedly.

Daves enthusiastically received these uneasy leaders of Bruti and made a solemn promise to them: As long as they join Dionia, Dionia will not interfere with their management of their tribe. And it will give them priority to choose good settlements and pastures.

Even, Daves opened the map of Dionia and told them: Not only can they choose in the Bruti area, but they can also choose other vacant land in the Dionia Alliance.

The leaders took a reassurance and happily set up a tent next to the Dionian barracks, ready to help Dionian to overthrow the Bruti tribe alliance that oppressed them, and get Dionian as soon as possible. The promised land.

Daves sent them away and had a new idea. He called Capus and asked him to divide the 5000 prisoners into a company of 200 people according to their tribal affiliation, and the prisoners chose themselves. Out of company captains, lieutenants... etc., and instructed Capps to give these newly elected company captains as much as possible to establish prestige among the prisoners under their jurisdiction while ensuring that the captives do not run away or resist, such as: let them The right to distribute food, the right to distribute labor, the right to punish subordinates...

In Davos’s plan: In the future Dionian City-State Alliance, Turri will be its center, and the Bruti area, which is very close to Turri, should become a core of Dionia area. However, Daves knows very well that the biggest difference between the current Bruti and the Lucanians is that there are no large tribes in the Lucanian region in the Dionian territory, and according to the current situation As it continues to develop, there are likely to be several large Bruti tribes when they conquer Bruti. They will be the destabilizing factor for Dionian rule Bruti in the future, and it will also increase the difficulty of governance in the Bruti area.

Davers' main strategy for it is to dismember it and make it bigger and smaller. The method of over 5,000 prisoners is to prepare in advance...

…………………………

Just when Daves had begun to prepare for the conquest of the Bruti area, the city of Cosenza was not that there was nothing unusual as Hegecitus said, but rather erratic...

Kadulk, the leader of Cosenza, originally had the same tribal strength as Petalu's tribe. But since Petaru became Pi's son-in-law, the situation has changed. In the process of incorporating and annexing small tribes, the Petaru tribe supported by Pi Arun gained many benefits. Its tribal strength expanded rapidly, not only quickly becoming the second largest tribe in Cosenza and even the entire Bruti region, but also Taru also entered the newly established highest authority of the Bruti Tribal Alliance-the Seven-member Presbyterian Council under the guidance of Pi'anlun.

In this regard, Kadulke was angry and dissatisfied with Pi Arun's injustice, but the strength of Pi Arun and the Petaru tribe forced him to force a smile and obediently. Take this time as an example, Pi Anlun led the largest army in Bruti's history to a decisive battle with the Dionians, but left him to guard the city of Cosenza, and he had no choice but to accept it.

Even if he becomes the temporary master of Cosenza, Kadulke has no absolute power, because he knows that the high priest Philotaru, who he secretly mocked as the "dog of Pi Arun", is watching closely. Hold him. Once he changed, Philotaru's order could make half of his 2,000 fighters not obey his command, and of course the other half would be his people.

The army was dispatched, the city of Cosenza was mostly empty, and the affairs were naturally greatly reduced. Kadulke spent a lot of time in the alliance meeting hall in the inner city until the guards reported that the Bruti alliance was defeated. The defeated soldiers are entering the city one after another.

Although everyone discussed the possibility of defeat before the expedition, Kadulke was shocked when he heard the news.

He hurried to the east gate of the outer city, and the sight in front of him made him unbelievable: the city gate was crowded with disheveled and exhausted defeated soldiers. They lost their helmets, lost their leather shields, spears, and some Even naked and muddy, looking back in a hurry, while scrambling to enter the city, when the wind blows, they panicked, shoved and squeezed crazily, and even some people were squeezed out of the moat with screams. Repeatedly; and once they entered the city, they immediately lay down on the ground and soon fell asleep...

Kadulke can be considered as a battlefield for a long time. He has suffered some defeats, but he has never seen such a tragedy. I can’t help but secretly start to mobilize the team to the city gate to maintain order and rescue the wounded...

It didn't take long before he saw Pi Anlun. The leader of Cosenza was full of spirits when he was no longer on the expedition, his eyes were dull, his expression was dull, his hands clasped his horse's neck tightly. Obviously, the horse had already exhausted its physical strength. It moved forward little by little. It was very difficult for every step. Suddenly it knelt on four hoofs, and fell to the ground, which was unable to defend Pi Anlun...

The accompanying guard hurried up to help. Pi Alen, who had been bumping on horseback for more than an hour, was also physically and mentally exhausted, with weak hands and feet. He barely stood up with the support of his guards. When he saw Kadurk, he said weakly: "...be careful... …Beware of the enemy...The enemy’s surprise attack..." Then he was carried into the city by the guards.

Seeing Pi Allen's embarrassed appearance, Kadulke's nervous heart was inexplicably more gloating and joyful, and this mood reached its peak after seeing Petaru.

Petalu, who is 20 years younger than Pianren, is physically better than his father-in-law, but mentally, it is obvious that the fierce pursuit of the Dionian cavalry frightened him so much that he was sane when he entered the city. Out of order, in front of the numerous routs and out-of-control yelling: "The enemy will chase! The enemy will chase! Quickly close the gate! Quickly close the gate!..." It almost caused a great chaos.

Kadulke took great pains to restore order to the scene. While blaming Petaru as an idiot, he was also afraid of the Dionians who had not yet met.

This evening, Kadulke has always maintained a high level of alert.

The defeated soldiers fled back to the city one after another. The people of Cosenza who heard the bad news cried all night, and the whole city of Cosenza was restless all night...

In the early morning of the next day, many soldiers fled back to the city.

Pi Anlun, who has regained his energy and temporarily emerged from the shadow of yesterday's fiasco in the deliberative hall of the inner city, has a solemn expression at this moment.

Up to now, only more than 2,000 fighters belonging to him and the Petaru tribe have escaped, more than 700 Ambalian fighters, about 1,000 Vig fighters, and other small tribes have returned the most. There are more than 4,000 soldiers. what does that mean? This means that as the first and second largest tribe of Bruti, about 8,000 people were either killed or captured by Dionia! Such a huge number not only made him and Petaru feel extremely distressed, but also made his tribesmen find a reason to attack them, threatening their rule in the tribe.

More importantly, the Bruti tribal alliance is likely to face disintegration, because Pi'anlun, who loses his power, also loses its influence and appeal in the alliance. Just now, Bogam, the chief leader of Ambalia, rejected Pi Anlun’s repeated retention and led the rest of his tribe to leave Cosenza.

Despite what Pi Anlun said is reasonable: "The Ambalian city is simple and unable to withstand the attack of the Dionians, it is better to temporarily relocate the Ambalians to Cosenza and fight together..."

However, Bogam replied tragically: "The Ambalians have lived in Ambalia for generations and will not abandon their land, even if they die, they will sprinkle their blood there!"

The departure of the Ambalians affected the Vig fighters who had lost their chief leader. They clamored to go home, but Pi Anren finally convinced them to stay, and promised: Do everything possible to rescue Sedorum.

The problem with the Vig warrior is only a minor one. The biggest problem is that after Pi Anren returned to Cosenza last night, due to the double blow of mental and physical strength, he soon fell asleep, so that he actually forgot to target those The leaders of other tribes on the expedition made special arrangements and arrangements.

As a result, after these tribal leaders fled back to Cosenza, they did not return to their inner city residence, but hid in the original tribal settlement in the outer city.

One night later, Pi Anlun realized that he had made a big mistake, and hurriedly sent his men and a team of soldiers to urge them to return.

But his biggest worry still happened. The soldiers were kicked out, reporting to him with a swollen nose: "Big Chief, Chief Tagli, they refused to return to the inner city, and they threatened to lead their tribe out of Cosenza!"
