lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
The center of the Afan Gum tribe blossomed, the coalition soldiers slammed in the rear, and the Kautini fighters who were unable to defend themselves and were flanked back and forth fled in panic. Some fighters also loudly reminded other tribes: "The Nakonians have rebelled." ! The Nakonians have rebelled!!!..."
Mixed with the neat and magnificent shouts of the Avangums: "Nakonians' revenge!!..." Even if the sound of killings and screams in this area continue, these sounds can still be heard. In the far area, other tribal warriors heard it, making Kautini warriors vigilant, and at the same time letting other Naconian tribal warriors learn about the situation, forcing them to take immediate action
So, one after another Nakonian tribal warriors launched a rebellion one after another, attacking the surrounding Kautini warriors.
Originally, Segowani dispersed the Nakonya tribes across the army to prevent them from rebelling and to force them to fight for their survival in the army, but instead of moving He hit himself in the foot with a stone, and the sudden rebellion of the fighters of the various tribes of Nakonya made the entire formation of Kautini's army chaotic.
Zantiparis discovered the anomaly of the enemy's formation and took the opportunity to notify the light armoured soldiers at both ends to attack inside. Coupled with the attack of the coalition soldiers who caught up, the Cavutini army quickly changed from the original planned retreat. In order to completely defeat.
There were even some Cavutini fighters who were scared by the constant news of rebellion and began to be suspicious, slamming their spears at teammates who were inadvertently approaching them. In the dim sky, the Kautini fighters had no fighting spirit, trampled on each other and killed each other on the way to escape, killing and wounding countless people.
By the time the Allied forces of Dionian stopped pursuing them, only nearly 2,000 Kautini fighters were able to escape, including the chief Segovanni, who eventually escaped into the city of Sesala. The coalition lost less than 500 people, and more than 2,000 Naconian fighters have taken refuge, which has strengthened its strength again
In the early morning of the next day, the Dionian coalition forces, which had rested overnight, divided their forces and marched northward, targeting Cesala and Abella.
It was almost noon when an army mainly composed of soldiers from the Campania Alliance arrived under Cesala, only to find that it had become an empty city.
It turned out that after the remnant of Kautini fled back to Sesala, Segovanni, who had calmed down a bit, was angrily cursing the rebellious Naconians, but also realized that he could no longer stay in this city. , Because when the enemy is on the offensive, you only need to divide a part of the force to encircle Cesala, where only 2,000 soldiers are stationed, and you can lead the main force to directly attack Abela, which is in the pass of the mountain pass and is undefended. Kautim who also defended against emptiness, in that case, Kautinic would be all over.
So Segowani mobilized all the people in the city to relocate that night.
Although the Cesala were very reluctant, they didn't want to repeat Lola's mistakes, so they brought their belongings, helped the old and the young, and retreated to Abella and Kautim overnight.
So, when the Dionian coalition forces, dominated by Dionian and Naconian soldiers, arrived at the pass, Segowani led only 2,000 soldiers to garrison the small city of Abella and blocked the coalition forces. The narrow road to the east.
……………………………………
On the same day, some 10,000 soldiers of the Tenth and Eleventh Legions led by Capps captured the small town of Equiium after a hard day’s battle, and Alek, which is just west of the Samona Mountains. The coalition forces led by the Sith echoed, and they had the potential to completely encircle the territory of Silpini.
After the troops of the Kautini and Penteni tribes left one after another, the strength of the army in Beneventum was significantly weakened. In order to reduce unnecessary casualties, Lesguk has stopped attacking out of the city, instead It was the soldiers of the Dionian coalition that approached the city, but they did not come to attack the city. Instead, the leader of Abeni Rum, Gherny, led the people to shout in the city.
Gerney counted the failures suffered by Lescuk arbitrarily launched the war against Dionia, as well as the specific numbers of casualties and captured Shillpini fighters.
He also yelled at the city: "Silpini's compatriots, now Aquilonia and Equiium have been captured by the Allied forces of Dionia, and the territory of Silpini is already under the siege of the Allied forces. So you don’t blindly follow Lescuk and continue to oppose the Dionian coalition, otherwise the coalition will send troops to capture your towns, destroy your settlements, capture your family members, and completely destroy your tribe. !......"
At the same time, he also made a promise: "As long as the tribal leaders and warriors submit to Dionia, it would be better if you can capture Leskuk. Not only will your previous violations of Dionia be forgiven, the territory and The family will be preserved, and the warriors of the tribe who were captured will be released back home, and the wounded fighters will also be treated meticulously by Doctor Dionia..."
Gerney's repeated calls under the city had a great impact on the leaders and warriors of the Shillpini tribe in the city.
Lesguk began to see the leaders of the various tribes of Silpini quietly summoning their own warriors, secretly discussing something, which made him secretly startled.
It didn't take long for the news of "Kautini's army suffered a disastrous defeat in the Campania Plain" to reach the city of Beneventum, and it was even more disturbing.
At this moment, under the repeated urging of Alexis, the leader of Aquilonia rushed to the coalition camp, and he followed Gellney to call out in the city, which finally led to the original dispatch to Benevento. The Aquilonian fighters who followed Lescuk were the first to stand up and demanded from Lescuk: They must respond to the leader's call, leave Beneventum and join Dionia.
Aquilonia is the third largest tribal united town of the Shillpini tribe. After several battles, there are still more than 700 fighters. This is in the Shillpini army, which has only more than 4000 fighters. Occupies a considerable proportion. And after Aquilonia was the fighters of Equiium, they also decided to submit to Dionia to save the captured family members.
The various tribes within the Shillpini tribe are equal in terms of political status. They elect and obey the orders of the chief, but this is not mandatory by law, but based on the long tradition of the tribe. But tradition also stipulates that they can refuse to execute the orders of the big boss at any time according to their own circumstances. Therefore, whether it is the Shilpini tribe or other Samonei tribes, in fact, they are still a loose political alliance.
Perhaps because of the characteristics of the mountain people, the inconvenient transportation between tribes and the difficulty of unified jurisdiction, so they are more independent and free in political status, but this has made Leskuk both politically and militaryly They were unable to force them to stay (the Aquilonia and Equiium fighters totaled 800 people, which also made Leskuk throw a rat-fighting weapon).
In desperation, Lescuk had no choice but to make them swear in the name of the **** Savoni: After surrendering to Dionia, they shall not be enemies of all the tribes of Samona.
Aquilonia and Equim fighters did so.
So Leskuk could only order: Open the city gate and let the warriors of these two tribes leave.
Alexis led the high-level coalition forces to welcome them who came to surrender.
The other tribal leaders who had witnessed the whole process at the head of the city finally did not hesitate anymore, and asked Leskuk to leave Beneventum and go back to defend their homeland.
Lesguk knew that these people were telling lies, and I was afraid that they would really let them out of the city, and in a blink of an eye they all went to take refuge in Dionia. He anticipated this situation when he let Aquilonia and Equim warriors leave. These Silpini tribal warriors who united and forced the palace together amounted to more than 1,000 people. If they were not allowed to leave, once Let them fight in the city, but it will cause even greater disaster.
Les Guk pondered over and over again, and finally nodded in agreement.
Silpini tribes left one after another, causing panic among the people in Beneventum, and even affecting Karachenyi’s army. Its leaders and soldiers asked Kontruk to leave Beneventum and return. To your own home.
Although Kontruk’s character is stubborn and conservative, he also knows that the defeat of the Samona’s coalition forces is now set. There are few enemies and the fall of Beneventum is only a matter of time. Karacheni’s troops continue to stay in the city. The danger of annihilation.
So, on the excuse that he was "persecuted by the leaders of the Karacheni tribes", and embarrassed that he didn't go to see Lescuk himself, he sent one of his men to say hello to Lescuk and led the team directly. Exit the city from the north gate, cross the river, and leave Beneventum.
The reinforcements left one by one, leaving the people in the city completely in panic. The leaders of the various tribes of Beneventum came together to meet Lesguk, expecting Ai Ai's request: Now the situation is critical, Beneventum is alone in support. For the safety of the lives of the tribes and peoples in the city, I hope that Leskuk will lead the whole city's soldiers and civilians to surrender to Dionia.
Less Guk looked at the petition leaders and the elders of his own tribe, his face was even more gloomy, he was silent for a long time, and under repeated urging from the leaders, he said coldly: "Let me think about it..." After speaking, he asked the guard to drive everyone away.
Looking at the empty living room, Lescuk's heart was also empty. He remembered what Segowani had scolded him before, "You don't deserve to be a tribal leader, you are not decisive enough, and the means are not harsh... …"
Lesguk smiled miserably and whispered to himself: "Segovani, you are right... But I really want to know how you will save Kautim if you are so aggressive. , It's a pity...I can't see anymore..."
It was the night when Lesguk committed suicide at the mansion. The people in the city were in terror. The leaders discussed urgently and sent envoys to the Dionian military camp the next day.
