When the word "surrender" was spit out from Beneventom’s messenger, Alexis was not surprised, because except for Beneventom, the other Shillpini tribes have already surrendered. After Dionia, he learned that Karacheni’s army had left Beneventum, so Beneventum was already a turtle in the urn.

So, Alexis said with confidence: "It is a good thing for Beneventom to surrender! However, as one of the initiators of this war, according to other tribes, this is still the case. The main commander of the war caused great disaster to Dionia and its allies, and must be severely punished!"

When the envoy of Beneventum heard this, he was frightened and said quickly: "Honorable General Alexis, for Beneventum’s fault, Savoni has already lowered his punishment. I committed suicide last night and apologized!"

"Lesguk is dead?!" Gailny in the big tent asked in surprise.

"Yes, Captain Gailny." The messenger looked at Gailny sadly, and said with a choked voice: "Before the leader died, he regretted what he did to Abenirum. , He hopes that all the faults will be borne by him alone, and he hopes that you can spare the tribes of Beneventum!"

"Lesguk wouldn't say such things." Gellney shook his head and sat down again, but he seemed to be in a good mood.

Alexis said solemnly: “Lesguk’s suicide does not take away the responsibility of the Beneventum people! Our King Daves once wrote and pointed out, “The Beneventum people Over the past ten years, he has been full of malice against Dionia, and has been maliciously suppressing and bullying Abeni Rum, who has friendly relations with Dionia, and is also the main perpetrator of this war!...'

Because you wantonly tore up the covenant, in order to avoid being provoked by your Beneventum again in the future, King Davos instructed,'Beneventum must be fully integrated into the Kingdom of Dionian, Beneventum The tribes and tribes of Thum can join the Kingdom of Dionian, and can also move to other places in the Samona Mountains. After this war is over, the mountainous areas will be vast and sparsely populated, and some places can become your settlements. "

When the messenger heard this, he became angry and blushed and roared: "Dionia wants to use war as an excuse to take the opportunity to forcibly annex us Beneventum?! If so, we The soldiers of Beneventum will never surrender and will fight to the end! Savoni will bless us, even if all the Dionians here die in battle, they will never want to attack Beneventum!"

After the messenger roared, he turned his head to look at Gherny, and reprimanded: "You see, this is the ambition of the Dionians! Today is Beneventum, tomorrow it may be Abeni Rum, the Dionians might want to destroy the entire Samonais. Do you still want to be their accomplices?!"

Gerney hadn’t heard of the messenger’s desire to divorce. Alexis had already told him Daves’ instructions. Of course Daves wanted him to be the leader of the Shillpini tribe. I am very happy that although the most powerful Beneventum will be separated and become a part of the Kingdom of Dionia. This is some regret, but it also means that Beneventum has suppressed Afghanistan for decades. Benirum’s situation will no longer exist, and in the future he will have much less control over the entire tribe, so he can accept this.

He calmly responded: "Abeni Rum has joined the Kingdom of Dionia."

The messenger was stunned.

Alexis said in a strong tone: "Our soldiers have long been ready to attack Beneventum! Whether to accept this condition or fight to the end, Bereventum must give it today. Let me answer, otherwise we will start siege tomorrow!"

The messenger hurried back to the city, unexpectedly there was a disturbance in the city.

It turns out that the tribal warrior in which Leskuk was instigated by his relatives believed that the leader’s suicide was related to the covetousness and fear of death by other tribal leaders, and the collective force of the palace. They not only imprisoned the two tribal elders involved in this matter, but also demanded The leaders of other tribes must be held accountable for this, and they must also be judged and punished in accordance with tradition.

Of course, other tribal leaders could not accept it, and the angry Leskuk tribal warriors insisted on making them pay, which led to the escalation of the conflict.

Lesguk’s tribe is the largest tribe in Beneventum’s territory, and other tribes can only unite to fight against it.

The messenger told both parties about Dionia’s harsh conditions. Although everyone finally calmed down their anger and sat together to discuss the matter, because the group of dragons had no leader, they had been arguing for most of the day, and they could not come up with a unified opinion. , Is it war or peace?

Lesguk’s tribe elected his eldest son to participate in the meeting. In the meeting, he was not only determined to fight the Dionian coalition forces to death, but also continued to verbally attack other leaders who proposed further negotiations. When the meeting was over, his eyes stared at the other leaders were full of hatred, which shocked the leaders.

Because Beneventum did not reply on the same day, Alexis kept his promise and dispatched a large army early the next morning to prepare to attack the city.

The morale of the Dionian coalition forces is high, and the desire to fight is strong. After learning that the army led by the Lucania Reserve Corps defeated the main force of Kautini, the soldiers of the Tenth and Eleventh Corps certainly could not allow themselves to be compared to the reserve soldiers of the Corps. They had asked for battle many times. For the Abeni Rum fighters, they can finally take revenge for the city of Beneventum and let them vent their oppression and humiliation for more than ten years, so they are all very excited; for Potentia As far as the soldiers are concerned, the city of Beneventum will be captured so that they will no longer have to listen to the old generations about how terrible the Samonaes are. They can proudly tell future generations that they have captured the largest town of the Samonaes.

Alexis issued a siege deployment: Potentia's army attacked the east wall, the Dionian army attacked the west, and the Abenirum army attacked the south.

Alexis also placed the surrendered Shillpini tribe fighters under Gherney's command. He couldn't allow the entire army to be siege, but there were some Hill in the camp who were not sure whether they were loyal. The Pini warrior was on the sidelines.

Faced with the dissent of these tribes, Gellney threatened fiercely: "You once faced the oath made by Lescuk. Now because Lescuk has committed suicide, naturally this oath does not need to be kept anymore. Don’t find any more excuses to avoid this battle. I tell you that the tribes participating in this battle are the allies of Dionia, and those who don’t participate are the enemies. Choose for yourself!"

Many people were secretly scolding the Gellney Fox as a fake tiger in their hearts, but no tribe dared to lead troops to leave without permission.

Gerney was not polite, and directly arranged them at the forefront of the siege.

The Allied Dionian forces are about to attack the city, but the leaders in Beneventum City had no results because of yesterday’s controversy. They did not make a defense plan at all. They did not expect that the Allied Dionian forces would launch it at dawn. After the attack, they were all panicked, and one after another they took the soldiers and hurried up to the city to defend, the layout of which was hasty and chaotic.

Besides, Beneventom is a big city. The 2000 fighters cannot cover the entire city. When you see the enemies flooding under the city and the tall siege equipment that you have never seen before, some leaders feel Playing the drums made other thoughts aroused.

The siege war had just begun, and several tribes in charge of defending the southern city took the initiative to open the city gates and surrendered to the Allied forces of Dionia.

Abenirum’s army took the opportunity to rush into the city. Beneventum’s defenses collapsed across the board, and the tribe of Leskuk who stubbornly resisted to the end had to suffer most of the casualties and the death of the temporary leader. surrender.

The Dionian forces captured Beneventum.

……………………………………

The fall of Beneventum meant that the coalition forces led by Alexis could reach Kautim through the mountain road to the east.

The spies of Cavutini, who had been closely following the battle of Beneventum, immediately spread the bad news back to Cavutim.

The people of Kautim were extremely panicked, because most of their young and middle-aged people were led by Segowani and fought against another Dionian coalition in Abela.

A few days ago, Segowani was angry at the betrayal of the Naconians, so he ordered the leaders of Naconia who were imprisoned in Kautim to be escorted to Abella, beheaded all, and ordered Hang on the top of the city to vent his anger and take revenge on the Nakonians.

The Naconian warriors headed by Vasonk were really enraged and asked Zantiparis to attack the city of Abella.

Zantiparis saw that the Naconians were in high fighting spirit, and through exploration, he found that Abela was not only small, but also poorly equipped for defense. (Abela is located in the hinterland of Kautini and has never been threatened , Coupled with the surrounding mountains are difficult to climb, the land is barren, threatened by survival, the Abella people are busy looting, and have no intention to repair the city), so he agreed to the request of the Naconians, After the siege equipment used to attack Lola City was loaded, the order to siege the city was issued.

The offensive is based on the Naconian fighters, the Dionian soldiers as auxiliary, and the Campania Confederate soldiers as the backup.

It turned out that the generals of the Allied Army of Campania saw that Cavutini’s remnants had been driven out of the Campania Plain, and there was no threat to them, so they moved to "return to their mother state, "Hurry up and rebuild their homeland", they asked Zantiparis to resign. In the end, even the Naples general Aalos couldn't sit still, but at any rate he left 1,000 Naples soldiers.
