"These guys are so courageous, do they want to riot?!" After a night of rest, Petaru has recovered his spirits, and he angrily pleads with Pi'anlun: "Big Chief, I will take a thousand warriors first. Go and bring them back!"

Pi Anlun’s wrinkled forehead formed a deep gully. He shook his head, loosened his clenched fist, turned to look at the high priest Philotaru, and said in a deep voice: "High priest, have to ask You go there...ask them what they want and try to stabilize them."

"Big Chief!" Petaru hurriedly yelled: "Don't be weak to these guys! Otherwise...otherwise they will get out of our control, and may even... threaten the safety of Cosenza!"

Because there are only Pi Anlun, Petaru, and Philotaru in the conference hall, Pi Anlun has no taboos when speaking. He has a deep sad look and stares at the two of them. He sighed: "The failure of this battle is all my responsibility! I...I shouldn't have a chance to fight with the Dionians. I thought it was impossible to win, because of our familiarity with the terrain. , The soldiers have lighter equipment than the Greeks, and they can easily leave the battlefield and return to the city to fully defend against the enemy’s attack... Alas... I didn’t expect... I didn’t expect a battle to bring us losses. It's so big! Dionia is really different from other Greek city-states such as Crotone! I'm sorry to the people!..."

"Big Chief, this is not your own fault. The decisive battle with Dionia is the collective decision of the Presbyterian Church." Petaru comforted his father-in-law, he hesitated, and whispered: "It's better ...Shall we make peace with Dionia?"

When these words came out, Pi Anlun and Philotaru were all taken aback.

"Under such circumstances, will Dionia agree to a truce with us?" Philotaru doubted.

"No! Give it a try!" Pi Anlun's eyes lit up and he was inspired by Petaro's words. He thought more: "Petaru, you send an envoy to the Dionia camp and talk to Their consul said, “Cosenza is willing to become an ally of Dionia, just like Laos.” If peace can be achieved, Cosenza temporarily becomes Dionia’s subsidiary and can be The captured soldiers return, and there is still time to slowly recover our strength. If not, we must patiently negotiate with them. As far as I know, the Archon of Dionia is not a very tyrannical person, so he Forgive Castellon and Crotone, then why can't we relax the rope that tightens Cosenza's neck! At least let us buy some time to solve those people in the outer city, now Cosenza is no more Can't stand a riot!"

……………………………

Cosenza's messenger rushed to the Dionian camp. After hearing about his intention, Davos immediately pointed out: Cosenza can only be fully integrated into the Dionian League, there is no other way to go!

He categorically refused the messenger's request for more detailed discussion. With an absolute advantage, how could he give Cosenza a chance to breathe.

On the third day after the battle, the whole army of Dionia pulled out of the camp and marched westward. The cavalry was scattered six or seven miles away, investigating the surrounding movement; the first legion acted as the forward, with perseverance; the second legion was on both sides of the middle of the team, winged the heavy barracks, medical camps, and engineering battalions in the middle...and Under the supervision of the Dionian soldiers, the half-filled and half-hungry prisoners of Bruti carried supplies, pushed the pack wagons, and looked after the livestock; the regiment reserve and allied troops served as guards...

The entire marching team is vast, even on the vast plateau, it is still out of sight.

Three hours later, Daves saw the big city-Cosenza standing on the side.

At this time, the captain of the cavalry battalion Ryder rushed from the front of the team excitedly: "Commander, the Fourth Army is coming to us!"

"That's great!" Daves was overjoyed, holding his horse belly in excitement, and the horse hooves forward and ran forward. The guards followed closely, and then the cavalry gathered around to prevent accidents.

The commander of the Fourth Army, Silos, who received the news, also rode his horse from the south. When he saw Daves, he immediately stopped his horse and marched in salute: "Commander, the Fourth Army has captured Knapetia, Ordered to come!"

"Thank you!" Daves solemnly returned his salute. The Hiros in front of him was not the ordinary mercenary when he first met in Persia. The long-term commanding and handling of government affairs made him a little more majestic. With a little less humility, he is already a qualified Dionian army commander.

"My lord, I am late. The defense of Knapetia City is very tenacious. Not only did it hold our Fourth Army for a long time, but it also cost us more than 700 brothers' lives!" Shiros looked slightly. Sadly, the gentleness in his bones has not changed much.

"My strategic plan is the main reason why the Fourth Army captured Knapetia so late. I cannot blame you. The sacrifice of the soldiers is worth it, because you really attacked from the front. Under a well-defended city, this will be the most precious treasure of Dionia's military!" Daves inspired him to say: "Moreover, the Fourth Army is just in time!"

After speaking, he pointed forward vigorously: "Go, take me to see the warriors of the Fourth Army!"

Daves and Hiros took the lead in galloping forward, followed by two hundred guards wearing red cloaks (including one hundred fighters from Bisignia).

Rodom was holding the reins in one hand, holding up the glorious banner that Martius had handed him in the other, following Davosma, passing by the fourth legion marching column.

I saw the soldiers of the Fourth Legion of Dionia who were ahead stopped, stopped talking, and looked at their top commander with scorching eyes. But Davers looked solemn at the moment, raised his right arm above his head and stretched it forward in salute.

Suddenly, the soldiers let out a thunderous cheer: "Dionyia will win!!!"

"Davers wins!!!"

……

While this situation and situation made Rodom's blood boil, it also made him envious. He deeply felt: It was so boring to live in obscurity in a mountain col in the past! A man should gallop on the battlefield like a commander!

"Listen, it was the recruits of the Fourth Army screaming. I heard that they came from Trina. It seems that they have captured Knapetia. No wonder they are so energetic. If it weren't for We defeated Bruti’s main force, how could they break the city so easily! These little guys are still far away! These days, we have to let them know that we are the best in the First Army in the Dionian army. !..." The soldiers of the First Legion watched the cheers of the Fourth Legion as veterans.

On the top of the city, the Bruti warriors watched the scene outside the city with fear: the "long dragon" from the northeast and the "long dragon" from the southwest converge together, giving a shocking sky. Cheers, the momentum is so majestic!

Pi'anlun’s face is dark, he received the news of "Knapetia has fallen" yesterday, and he also specially blocked it. I didn’t expect the Dionians to make such a show outside the city. Look Looking at the expressions of the soldiers, he knew how much it hit them.

At this moment, Tagli’s voice came from behind: "The Dionians are so powerful, our number is too small! The city of Cosenza is too big, it is impossible to achieve a comprehensive defense. , It’s better to surrender!"

When Petaru heard it, his face turned pale, and he wished he could beat the old guy severely, but he still resisted it. Yesterday, under the mediation of the high priest Philotaru, Pi Anlun, he and Tagli reached a reconciliation: the Bruti tribal alliance returned the original tribes of Tagli and their tribal leaders, and they can no longer deprive them. And interfere with their rights, and they finally agreed to fight against the Dionians in Cosenza with Pianren.

Only one issue is still arguing. Tagley and the others demand: abolish the Presbyterian Church and delegate the power to deal with alliance affairs to the Federation of Tribal Chiefs.

For Pi Anlun, agreeing to their request means that the Bruti tribal alliance with a high concentration of power he has been pursuing will become a loose tribal alliance, which he cannot tolerate. Yes, so he postponed this important issue on the grounds that "Bergam was not there and Sedorum was missing", which caused dissatisfaction with other tribal leaders. Now the two sides are at odds with each other.

Faced with the pressure of the Dionian army, Cosenza is in such a situation. How to resist the enemy's attack? Pi Anlun is also distraught.

Fortunately, Daves did not order the siege of the city, but began to build a camp. With the absolute advantage of 30,000 troops, he directly ordered the construction to be started one mile away from the city, preparing to besiege Cosenza.

The prisoners were escorted to dig trenches. The First, Second, and Fourth Legions, the Legion Reserve, the Allied Army...Daves had enough labor to build a huge barracks, as well as enough manpower to stay on guard.

Just as Daves was riding his horse and preparing to make a detailed survey around Cosenza, Capps reported: Sedorum asked to meet him.

…………………………………

"Have you decided? Let Vig join Dionia?" Daves suppressed the joy in his heart, and looked at Sedorum calmly.

"Yes, the Archon of Dionian." After Sedorum saw the arrival of the Fourth Army of Dionian, he immediately realized that what Daves told him before was the truth. Dionia does have a strong siege ability. So he finally stopped struggling, made up his mind decisively, and relieved his troubles for many days. At this time, he felt much more relaxed.

Davos looked at the older Brute chief who had not been seen for a few days, and slowly asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
