Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 31: The situation in Lucania

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

The people who watched all this cheered and cheered, while the Lucania slaves who participated in digging the canal and erecting the waterwheel were dumbfounded, suspected to be the work of ghosts and gods.

"Master Davos, with the protection of Zeus, this is really amazing! Great! With this...water...waterwheel, our Amendorara can add more than 300 acres of good fields! "Cornerus was excited.

"It's not just that the fields have been added, but the people will also have more convenient water in the future!" Scombras also seemed very happy.

"Everyone, this is not the blessing of Zeus. Thank you Master Davos! The waterwheel is a drawing designed and provided by Master Davos himself. If you say it is really favored by God, it must be Hades! "Marigi's unkind words embarrassed Cornellus and the others.

Daves did not stop Mariji’s impoliteness or express humility. He needs to make these old citizens understand: Under his control, Amendorara will bid farewell to the past and shine brightly. Shine!

The cheers of the people are in stark contrast to the uneasiness of several old citizens.

At this moment, Asistus came to tell him: Izam is back!

Davers immediately handed over the task of presiding over the celebration ceremony to Cornelus, and Cornelus took over this glorious task with a complicated expression.

……………………………

Daves hurried back to his house with Asistes.

Izam is dressed in dust, with a dark face, tousled long hair and long beard, wearing a ragged Lucanias leather robe, and standing barefoot in front of Davers, making Davers almost recognize It's not he himself.

It turned out that Izzam went back to the city and came to Daves directly without going home first. As a superior, Daves praised Izam for his enthusiasm for work, but he had to show his concern, so he asked the slave girl to take Izam to take a bath, cut her hair, and shave her beard first (the Greeks are different from the Romans). , They have beards), and arranged a sumptuous lunch, inviting Izam to eat and talk.

Under the relaxed atmosphere that Davers deliberately created, plus a few glasses of wine, Izam also gradually relaxed: "Master Davers... uh..." Izam burped with alcohol and said. "I followed your orders, dressed in disguise, climbed the mountain roads in the western mountains of the Subari Plain, and went to Laos first. It is located at the mouth of the river that the locals call the "La River". Stone Town has a port, so the precautions are not too strict. I mixed in, worked at the wharf, and carried goods every day, so I got to know a few slaves at the wharf. Guess who they are?" Izam pretended to be mysterious. Asked.

"They should be Greeks." Daves is not surprised. The Lucanians have invaded the Turíy area many times, and there are not a few Greeks abducted.

But then Izam’s answer really surprised him: "To be precise, they are descendants of the Sybaris, and Laos was built by the Sybaris. Listen to these people, the Sybaris Laos was built to make it a transit port for Sybaris to trade with cities such as Napoli, Etruscans, and Massinia, so Laos was very prosperous at that time... But after the city of Sybaris was destroyed, Laos had no back-ups and was soon occupied by Niutum, who went south."

"Oh, that's it..." Daves did feel a little surprised, and he asked, "So, the original Hybarians have become slaves? How many Greek slaves are there in Laos now?"

"I don’t know how many Greek slaves there are, but when the Lucanians attacked Laos, some Greeks surrendered and joined Lucania...Avino, a leader of Laos Guise is the descendant of these people. The tribe he leads are also descendants of the Hybaris. The Lucanians think they are not pure-blooded Lucarians and don’t trust them very much. They often abuse them and suppress them. They. Although these Greek slaves also spurned these people, thinking that it was their betrayal that led to the fall of Laos, they did not hate Avinojis very much, and most of them thought he was a good man because he often helped. They..."

Izam drank a few more sips and said excitedly: "Now the city of Laos is not stable, because some of the Lucanian tribes headed by Laos chief Tula did not let Avi Nogis shared the spoils, so he only let his tribe stay behind and did not participate in the invasion of Turei. I did not expect that you, your lord, led us to almost wipe out all the Lucanians who invaded Turei! Haha... The leader Tula fled back to the city with only a few dozen warriors. Instead, Avinojis became the strongest leader in the city of Laos. As a result, my lord, guess what happened?"

Izam seemed to be a little drunk, speaking carelessly, but Daves didn't care. He moved in his heart and said: "The blackmailer wants to annex the tribe of Avinojis?"

Izam patted the wooden chair and said, "My lord, you are so amazing. You can guess it!" He grabbed a piece of bread, tore a large piece, and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing loudly.

Assistus raised his eyebrows and was about to scold him, but Daves waved his hand to stop him.

"I heard from the slave at the dock that once Tula invited Avinojis to a banquet. I don’t know what happened. When he came back, someone saw that several of his guards were injured. From that day on, Avinojis hid at home and never went to the city to discuss matters. I walked around his house, surrounded by soldiers with weapons on patrol. I heard them say why Avinojis did not rise up. , Is observing the situation of Niutum."

"Niutum?" Daves listened carefully.

"Yes, sir." Izam scratched his head embarrassedly, "I was planning to go northward and go deep into the hinterland of Lucaria to explore, but Niutum controlled the northward movement in the upper reaches of the Ra River. The passageway is now heavily guarded, and strangers can’t pass. Raos originally took orders from Niutum, but all the fighters who went out for Niutum died this time. Ledu died in our hands, and his strength was greatly lost." At this point, Izam was somewhat contented: "Several leaders in Niutum are busy fighting for the position of the big leader. I heard that they almost fought." /

Izam said, subconsciously holding up the wine glass, only to find that the wine in the glass was empty, Daves got up and filled him up.

Izam sat still and only thanked him. Daves didn’t take it seriously. He sat down and continued to listen to him: "My lord, I remember we rushed to them after we wiped out the main force of the Lucania coalition forces. Didn’t you see that the camp has been burned to ashes and there are many dead bodies? At that time, everyone guessed that it was caused by the infighting of the Lucanians. I now know who did it."

"Who is it?" Daves leaned forward, expressing concern.

"Vigger!"

"Vig?"

"My lord, Vig City is to the south of Laos, not too far from Laos. It is a city of Bruti. But because of the strength of the Lucanians before, it was forced to join Lu The Kalia tribe alliance, but because they are foreigners, they may be often oppressed, so..."

"Well, the Bruti..." Daves rubbed his chin. He knew less about this aboriginal race, which was also a neighbor of Turye. He only knew that because of geographic reasons, it had an impact on Turri. Iraq threatened very little, but it was a big trouble for the Greek city-states to the south.

"After hearing that the Vigs fled back, they announced their separation from the Lukaria tribal alliance, and built a wall, sent many warriors to patrol the border and blocked the passage of Laos to the south." Speaking of which, Iraq Zam looked up and took a few more sips of wine.

"You only know about drinking and talking so much, is there any news of Grumentum?" Asistes said impatiently.

"Izam went to explore the unfamiliar Lucania alone. He ate a lot of bitterness and brought back valuable information. Drinking some wine is nothing, but you can't just drink but eat more fruits. Good." Davers said with concern.

"Yes." Izam responded gratefully, immediately put down the wine glass, coughed a few times, and said seriously: "Although I failed to go to Grumentum City to reconnaissance, I still got his comparison. Accurate news."

As soon as I heard this, Daves and Asistes both raised the spirit of 200%. After all, Grumentum was the culprit who launched the war last time, and it was the Lucaria Alliance. The lord, its every move is related to Davers' offensive plan.

"Picosis is another port city in the Lucania region, and it is a strong state in the Lucaria Alliance second only to Grummentum in strength. I heard that it is also a stone city." Zamm didn't mention Grumentum first, but brought the topic to Picsis.

Stone City! Daves heard the words and moved in his heart. According to his understanding for more than half a year, the Greeks love to build cities with stone, while the hill tribes use wood to build cities. There is a precedent in Laos, and it is also a seaport city. He can’t help but doubt that Picosis is also Lucali. The demi were taken from the Greeks.

"Picosis and Laos had a maritime trade, so some news came to Laos from the merchants and sailors of Picsis. It is said that most of the soldiers of Grumentum died in the battle. In our hands, although its leader Akpiru escaped, he remained unconscious. After the news spread, many tribes that had been forcibly annexed by Grumentum began to break away from Grumentum’s control, but Ge Rumentum was unable to stop, because the leaders in the city were busy fighting for the position of the leader. Originally Akpiru’s tribal strength was still the strongest among the tribes in the city. His son Lusa Ucho Encountered a strong opponent, Gnanet, the son of Cincinnag, the chief of Picsis--" At this point, Izam twisted a dried fig and stuffed it into his mouth.
