lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!

Waller learned from Pollett’s previous persuasion, and said helplessly: “Elia, the fragile hare that was often bullied by us, now relies on the Dionians to become an ally with us... …"

Puamote seemed a little uneasy when he saw him, and wanted to persuade him, but saw his henchman hurried into the hall.

Waller saw him whisper a few words with Puamote, Puamote's face changed, and he asked quickly: "What happened?"

Puamote turned his head to look at him, and said in a deep voice, "Dionia defeated the army of Syracuse."

"The Dionians really won?!" Waller's eyes widened in surprise, and he couldn't help muttering: "Master Davos is really amazing! So the Great Greece belongs to Dionia. Already?!..."

"It's not just Great Greece..." Puamote said lightly. When he heard the news, the only worry and the few luck left in his heart were all gone, and he vomited lightly. In a tone, he said: "Go back to the territory, and bring 20 sheep by the way, and give me congratulations to Lord Alexis..."

……………………………………

Daves's impression of the Samonais based on historical data in the past made Alexis lead his army cautiously to attack Copza.

In fact, Daves stalked the main forces of the Penteni and Kautini tribes in Poseidonia, and then the Samonais encountered a scream in their camp in Potentia. , So that the Shillpini tribe fighters suffered heavy losses. In the cold winter rain, the Samona fighters flee from starvation into the mountains, lose their way, encounter beasts, catch a cold, and hit Lucania. The human search team... Samona's defeat is like a bereaved dog, panic all day long.

Even if tribal leaders such as Lescuk gathered some Samona warriors and fled back to Kopsa, they faced the combined forces of the Third Army and Potentia, which were then violently killed. None of the leaders believed that they could rely on This small town and these extremely low morale and extremely exhausted fighters were able to block the morale of the enemy, so the Samonais fled in a hurry.

The chiefs of Cavutini are anxious to lead the rout to return to Cavutini, because the defeat of the Samoneites will surely shock central Italy. They are worried that the Campania people near the territory of Cavutini will change. .

Lesguk is anxious to return to Beneventum. Although the four tribes of Samona used to be in harmony, the Silpini tribe suffered such a terrible defeat. Once there are other tribes who have bad ideas, they will get close to Pente. Beneventum of Kautini and Kautini is a bit dangerous, and he must rush back to sit down as soon as possible.

Abenirum, another important town of the Silpini tribe, was due to the death of the chief leader Villani and the capture of his son Gailny. The other leaders who had escaped rushed back and re-elected a new one. leader.

The chaos of Abenitum is not comparable to Pentney. Its entire tribe, from the chief leader Torek to the leaders below, is almost either killed or captured. The entire tribe and territory will be stabilized again, I'm afraid It takes a long time.

After the Dionia-Potentia coalition forces easily occupied Kopsa, they discussed "whether to continue the offensive to the north".

Pollett strongly urged to continue the offensive. He believed that the Samonaites suffered heavy losses and their morale was low. Abandoning Copsa is a typical proof. We should take this opportunity to completely eradicate the threat of the Samonaites in the north.

Plintors expressed opposition: First, the mountainous terrain north of Kopsa is getting higher and higher, and the terrain is more complex, and the Lukanian soldiers and Potentia soldiers in the army are facing this area. Completely unfamiliar, rashly deep, easy to ambush, and transportation of supplies is also quite difficult. Besides, Dionia's military focus at this time is Syracuse, and it is not appropriate to expand the war, lest the alliance is unable to maintain two-sided operations.

Alexis supports Plintors' view, but he also has his own unique idea: that is to try to attack Irna.

Enona is the only seaport town of the Samona in the west. In fact, it was not built by the Samonais, but a city-state founded by the Greeks in Campania, but it encountered Poseidonia The same fate as Asia was occupied by the Samona a hundred years ago. Before, Syracuse’s food to support Samona’s army was brought in from the town’s port.

Enrona is in the north of Poseidonia, more than 40 miles apart. The terrain between the two cities is flat, without mountains, only lush forests, and the entire coast has no cliffs, reefs, and soft sandy beaches. If this were the land of the Greeks, they would have cut down trees to make boats, leveled the land for arable land, and filled tidal flats to build towns and ports. However, the Samonas did not have the rare and rare gains in this area of ​​their tribe. Build towns on the flat land. According to the investigation of the mountain forest reconnaissance team, the largest settlement of the Samona tribe that is closest to the coast is also more than 20 miles away, on the edge of the mountain.

Enona has almost no fleet, so the weight needed by the Daibo coalition can be transported by sea. This is the greatest benefit for the army preparing to go north. How could Alexis give up this great opportunity? After Pollet's approval, a decision was quickly made: to attack Enona.

Originally, Alexis decided to keep Potentia’s troops stationed at Kopsa, but Pollet insisted on participating in the attack on the Samonaites.

Alexis had to stay with Xima and lead a brigade and some Potentian fighters to guard Kopsa, and he led the Daibo coalition with about 5,000 men, marching north along the coast. The full-loaded fleet set off from Poseidonia to accompany it.

The area that the army passed through was originally the territory of Shillpini, but at this time the Samonei crowd of Shillpini tribe had no leader. In addition, in order to invade Potentia before, the chief Veronny almost took time out. The young and middle-aged of the tribe, the Samona fighters who are now lucky enough to escape death and capture are either on their way to escape, or just fled back home in a panic. Hearing that the Dionian army is coming, who dares to stop it! They took their families and fled to the mountains. Therefore, the coalition forces arrived at Enona without any disturbance.

Enona was originally a medium-sized city-state, but after being occupied by the Samonaes, most of the Samona tribes did not want to live by the sea. Not many tribes moved here, instead they became a small city. The warriors in the city were conscripted to fight south, but only about one-third of the people fled back. Hearing that the Dionian army came, the whole city was panicked.

In the early days when the Samonais occupied Enona, there were repeated attacks by the troops of the Campania Alliance in an attempt to retake Enona. The Samonais in the city defended the city and moved towards the mountains. The chief of Shillpini asked for help, and assembled his army to repel the Campanias, and the Campanias returned home many times because of this. With the passage of time, the power of the Samoneites has grown stronger and has threatened the core area of ​​the Campania League. The Campania League headed by Naples is overwhelmed. There is no need to regain the long lost Hainaut. So the Enrona territory has not been at war for decades, and they often cross the mountains to the north to harass the Campanians.

Nowadays, the army of Dionia is coming, and the Enona people uneasyly find that Enona city has not been repaired for many years. The defenses of the city are almost depleted, but the army of Samona has suffered a disastrous defeat, and the mountains are in chaos. Who can you go to when you ask for help in the mountains? !

The Enona were panicked, and how willing they were to abandon the homeland they had lived in for a hundred years, just when they were hesitant, Alexis led the army to have arrived.

He did not attack the city immediately, but did not hurriedly let the troops build camps and unloaded the baggage brought by the fleet moored on the nearby beach.

Two days later, he planted all the flags of the Samona tribes one by one under Enona, then gathered ten ballistas and fired stone bullets together, knocking down a wooden guard tower behind the city wall. After causing a burst of exclamation in the city, they sent someone to shout under the city to order the other party to surrender.

The terrified Samonais discussed urgently. One of the elders’ words was thought-provoking. He said: “People, the situation here has changed dramatically. Ventum will not be able to protect Enona outside the mountains for a long time, and Enona, which is far away from the mountains, is extremely vulnerable to enemy attacks. Even if the Dionians do not come to attack, Campa in the north The Nia and the Potentians in the south will take advantage of the decline of the tribe to avenge. Enrona will never be peaceful! It is better to take advantage of this war, which leads to a large reduction in the tribes in the mountains, and we move at this time. There are still some good settlements for us to choose..."

After a fierce argument, his proposal finally got the approval of most people, so the Enona people quickly sent envoys out of the city to meet Alexis, saying: The Enona people are willing to dedicate this city. As long as the Dionians can let the whole city leave safely.

Despite Pollet’s objections, Alexis did not hesitate to accept this proposal. He was able to acquire this strategically significant town without a bloodbath, allowing thousands of Samonaites to leave with their belongings, which is not counted. what.

The Enona people passed through the heavily guarded coalition barracks with anxiety. The Third Army strictly complied with the previous agreement and did not infringe upon them. Dionia’s reputation for “keeping its promises” was once again confirmed and spread.

After the Third Army successfully stationed in Enona, Alexis stopped military operations so far, only letting the Mountain Reconnaissance Team monitor the movement of the Samoites in the mountains, and at the same time ordered the soldiers to seize the time to strengthen the city defense.

The report that Daves led the army to defeat the Syracuse army in the battle was passed to Alexis even earlier than Puamote received the news, after all, there is a convenient sea route.
