lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
Karacheni Chief Contruk said in a cold voice: "I hope this time the plan can be implemented smoothly, otherwise--"
Although the old man didn't finish speaking, Lescuk knew he was reminding himself.
The plan for the Allied forces of Samona to attack the Dawney area was mainly drawn up by Lescuk. Except for the success of the initial raid, the next few attacks failed miserably, Hilpini, Punt The three tribes of Ni and Karacheni have suffered heavy losses. While Leskuk was criticized by the other two leaders, he also realized that after the initial success, he was a little dizzy and even forgot. Carry out your original idea: Instead of fighting the Dionians on flat ground, you should use the mountainous battles that the Samonais are good at to deal with the enemy.
However, even if the commander of Dionia in the Downey region succeeded one after another, he remained calm and rushed into the mountains without being lured by the Samonais.
Leskuk and the others finally felt that they could not take any advantage in the Dawney area, but they were unwilling to stop the attack on Dionia, so that Dionia could free up their hands to concentrate on destroying other enemies. , So they had to turn their target to the west, the weak Dionian ally, the Campania League, and the empty-strength Lucania region seemed to be better targets for harassment.
Furthermore, Cavutini suffered a disastrous defeat before and was captured a large number of fighters. Therefore, when the Allied forces of Samona attacked Dauni, Cavutini did not send too many fighters and suffered losses. Also small. It just so happened that the previously captured Kautini warrior had been released by the Dionians and returned to the tribe, making Kautini now the strongest of the four tribes.
Segowani, who also just returned to Kautim, readily agreed to the plan of the three leaders. Of course, the reason is not only because of repaying kindness. Mu’s hostage forced Dionia to release Kautini’s captive), also because he needed the support of other high leaders and high priests to enable him to regain his position as the high leader. Of course, he also hated Dionia, who humiliated him a lot, and hoped to cause a lot of trouble for it.
The two sides hit it off.
This is why the four of them, Lescuk, Kontruk, Badani, and Jonny, are here.
…………………………………………
Aenona, a city on the northwestern border of the Dionian Kingdom, although the Samonais are at war with Dionian, and Enrona is in the Naconian region of the Kautini tribe It borders, but the city has always maintained tranquility. Every day, people or businessmen go to the small town of Papania in the northeast.
But on this day, the sentry at the head of Enona saw a long line of people coming from a distance to the northeast. They were supporting the old and the young, carrying packages, and drove the panic. Rush towards Enona city.
Walking at the forefront are several Hades priests wearing white robes. They rushed to the city guard and shouted out of breath, "The chief of Kautini, Segovanni... The army captured the city of Naconia, and we got a death report from the followers of Naconia...We escaped first...The town of Bapania is in danger! I have notified the town’s Chief Dermo, But there are still many people who haven't left, so send troops to rescue! Hurry! Hurry!..."
The chief executive of Enona is Adrianx. He has been in office for three years and his term is almost over. However, due to the recent outbreak of several wars in Dionia, and it is impossible to end it in a short time, Under such a situation, in order to ensure the stability of the kingdom, his term of office may be extended, so he has been more at ease and continues to perform his duties earnestly.
In the city hall, he was shocked when he received the emergency report from the captain of the city guard, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and ring the alarm bell and let the whole city enter emergency preparedness! And... At the barracks, inform General Zantiparis and let him lead his army to defend Bapania!"
"Yes, my lord!"
Looking at the back of the captain of the city guard leaving in a hurry, Adrianx looked solemn, he knew that the tranquility of Enrona had been broken, and the war had struck!
While worrying about the lives and deaths of the people of Bapania, he thought of another important thing, so he immediately called the clerk: "Immediately send someone to Pompeii and tell them that the Kautini people have changed. , Let the Campania League strengthen its guard and be careful of the Cavutini invasion again!"
Zantiparis originally came to the Lucania area under the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs to form a reserve army to replace the third army and take on the defense mission of the entire northwestern region of the Kingdom of Dionia.
In the beginning, he set his station at the military camp near Grumentum, but after the Samonais invaded the Dawney area, Zanteparis changed his station to near Enona. After all, this is the closest to Sa The city of the Monet (although Kopsa is also, but he thinks that the Abeni Rum as a barrier is much more reliable than Naconia). Unexpectedly, he had just completed the preparations for the reserve army with hard work, and the military department asked Epithenis to take the four brigade from him, but he did not allow him to expand, which made him quite helpless.
………………………………………
Just when the Dionian army and the Roman army were in the fierce battle in Ostia, Segovani led the Samona army and held the captain of Naconia who had already succumbed to Naco. In the Nya region, they occupied the settlements of the tribes that did not yield to him (including the tribe of Quinduk), and threatened the people of the tribe to follow his troops to attack the Papaniya small in Enona with the safety of their family’s lives. town.
Seven years ago, the town built by Asistes, the chief executive of Enona, has become quite prosperous thanks to the frequent exchanges between Dionia and Naconia. In order to show the sincerity of the Dionians to the Naconians and dispel their guards, they did not deploy too many defensive forces in this town. In addition, the enemy came suddenly and was easily captured.
Segovani captured the Dionian people who were still in the town, and ordered the Naconian fighters to burn Bapania, forcing him to completely break with Dionian, and then led his army back to Naconya. At the same time as Konya, troops were sent to block off the mountain road that communicated with Enona.
The reason why Segowani did not directly attack Enona was the decision made by several big leaders after the painful lessons of the Downey area. They targeted the weaker and deceptive Campa. League of nia.
When Segowani led his army into Naconia, nearly 10,000 Samona’s allied forces, who had been waiting for a long time in the small town of Abella, moved quickly westward, passing through Sesala, straight Fly to the city of Atlas, which once caused the Kautini people to suffer a big loss.
Because of the previous gathering of the leaders of Cautini in Lola, the Campania League led by Naples turned the center of defense to the southeast, and did not guard against the Samonais’ raids in the northeast. , Atra-this small town on the border of the Campania Alliance territory fell quickly under the onslaught of Samona fighters.
At the same time, after Segovani, who had burned the town of Bapania, returned to Naconia, he led 7,000 Cavutini fighters non-stop (including more than 3,000 Naconya People), rushing to the southwest, attacking Pompeii, which is only 20 miles away from Naconia.
Pompeii has been living in peace with Naconia for more than a decade because of Dionia. He never expected an enemy to attack from the southeast, and the attack speed was so fast. In a hurry, most of the people outside the city had no time to retreat into the city, and they became the captives of the Kautini people.
………………………………………
After receiving the order from Adrianx, Zantiparis was not excited about being about to participate in the battle because there was only one group of soldiers in the barracks.
This is actually quite normal, because under normal circumstances, soldiers of a corps bring their own rations and standard weapons and equipment from their homes to the barracks within three or four days, and conduct a military training under the leadership of a military trainer, unless It was the Military Training Department of the Ministry of Military Affairs who notified the entire corps to conduct joint training, which is usually carried out by each battalion in turn. You can observe the training situation on the sidelines, understand the conditions of your own soldiers, and put forward your own training suggestions. He has the right to command his army only after being authorized by the king and the Ministry of Military Affairs.).
Originally, in this severe situation, Zanteparis should have concentrated all the soldiers in the army camp, but in this way, when the soldiers’ rations are used up, they will have to provide food from the army camp, which is usually more. It was allocated by the granary in the nearby area, and now the food is tight, Zantiparis can only let the various brigade take turns to be stationed in the barracks.
Although there were only 1,000 soldiers in the barracks, Zanteparis did not hesitate to gather them and quickly marched towards Bapania.
At the same time, Zanteparis also asked the messengers to immediately rush to the four seaside towns of Enona, Poseidonia, Elia, and Picosis, and notify the soldiers from the other groups to gather at the barracks immediately. . When Epithenis came to mobilize troops, he had an extra eye for him. He specifically asked Epithenis to take away the citizens of Lucania's inland towns such as Grumentum and Niutum. The brigade is composed of citizens from coastal towns. This is to inform the soldiers to gather and arrive at the barracks more quickly in the future.
After the troops bypassed Enona, they encountered all the people who had fled. They shouted in panic: "The Cavutini are here! They captured Bapania!..."
