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

The offensive bugle resounded over the city of Turiyi. The freedmen and slaves gathered in the docks of the north and south cities received the signal and immediately broke out. They took out hidden weapons and attacked the defenders.

South City is located on the south bank of the Krati River. At first it was because the citizens who went to farm on the south bank of the Krati River sometimes worked too late and it was dangerous to cross the river in the dark. There were Bruti people who crossed the mountains, plundered livestock, killed citizens, and built walls for safety. Therefore, the southern city is not large and there are not many guards. It is only because of the increase of the guards in the past two days, but also because of the false news of the armistice. Let them neglect their defenses, and the attacks of the freedmen make them have to deal with it in a hurry.

The Crotone soldiers crossed the moat, erected the siege ladder, quickly occupied the city head, lowered the suspension bridge, and opened the city gate under the condition of being almost immune to attack. Crotone’s army swarmed in. Disperse the defenders and board the ferry, cargo ship, and merchant ship in an orderly manner. Freedmen acted as sailors and quickly sailed to the North City port.

The generals of Turiyi heard that Crotone's army was approaching the city, but before they could give orders, the sad news of the freedmen riots at the North and South City Piers was heard, and they were all panicked. They hurriedly summoned citizens to go to the dock to suppress the freedmen. The elderly over 50 and young people over 14 put on armor and took up shields and spears. For them, this is a critical moment for Turyi’s life and death. , Every citizen must stand up to defend their homeland.

Although it took some time to assemble citizens, everyone was in the same hatred and the freedmen who lacked weapons and equipment were retreated steadily. But at this moment, Crotone's army landed.

As soon as they landed, they rushed to Turri's army, and the freedmen's almost broken line soon became stable.

The two sides fought in the narrow streets of the port. Although Crotone continued to have soldiers landing, the number far exceeded Turíy citizens, but it could not be deployed in the narrow lanes. Although all the soldiers in Crotone are tall and strong, Turri’s team is mixed with old people and young people, and even the generals are dressed up. There are hundreds of Turri women behind them who keep screaming and screaming for their loved ones. Cheer up, that is a tragic cry! Crotone is fighting, and Turri is desperate, so the battle is at a standstill!

Melansius, who had always been charging forward, was dragged behind because the ferry he was riding on was leaking. When he arrived at the dock, the boats were already parked, and he finally found a vacant place and landed ashore. Seeing that the battle was stalemate, he immediately ordered the demolition of the buildings on both sides of the lane.

When the Crotone soldiers began to outflank the two wings, the Tury gradually lost support, and persisted for a while, finally retreating under the condition that the citizens were constantly being killed and wounded.

Neonsis didn't want to flee, but faced the swarming enemies. Since taking office, this civilian-born general has been highly praised by citizens for his down-to-earth style and diligent and serious work attitude. However, less than two months after he reached the top of the city-state, he suffered a catastrophe for Tury. , He died in shame under the lance of Crotone's soldiers, while Pollux and other generals turned and fled.

Burkos and Plycinus led some citizens, women and children back into the acropolis on the hillside behind the city. Here is the Temple of Apollo and the Altar of the Goddess Hera. The sacred flame has been burning for 41 years since it was built. It is the place where the spirit of the citizens of Turiyi is maintained, and it is the resting place and sacred place of their souls! The people of Turiyi decided to make the final resistance here.

It was getting late after Melanius occupied and settled other districts. He ordered the soldiers to light a torch and surround the Acropolis of Turiyi, and then let Pollux send a message in: surrender immediately, or burn the Acropolis of Turiyi.

Burkos did not expect the Crotone people to be so cruel, after all, Apollo is also Crotone’s city-state protector. After a painful decision, they opened the door. At this point, Crotone completely occupied the city of Turriy.

……………………………

When the news reached Turey, Daves was watching the military training of the citizens in the training camp. He and the team officers were shocked to learn that Turrey had fallen.

"I didn't expect Turey to fall like this!" Silos said with emotion.

"If Turiyi hadn't dealt with the conflict between freedmen and slaves, how could Crotone easily succeed!" Amintas was obviously not convinced by Crotone's record.

"But the general in Crotone is not easy. Despite the help of the freedmen, when he can use tricks to deceive Turriy in advance, and then suddenly attack, the offensive organization is also very effective. After winning the city of Turriy within an hour, Crotone’s soldiers can be considered well-trained!” Daves wisely analyzed: “Crotto’s army can be said to be in addition to the 800 people led by Grithorpes. Apart from the Spartan warrior, one of the powerful enemies we have encountered so far must be more vigilant!" Daves warned everyone.

"But we are not afraid of him!" Amintas yelled unconvincedly.

"Yes, we must have this kind of spirit! We value the enemy, but we are not afraid of the enemy. We dare to fight any enemy!" Daves encouraged everyone.

"Legislative commander (in the barracks, Daves asked everyone to call him military position, not administrative position), what should we do next?" Alexis asked.

"What is your opinion?" Davers asked him back.

Alexis thought for a while and said: "Send more scouts to monitor the movements of Crotone's army and strengthen Amendorara's defense..."

"Very good, let’s watch the changes." Daves said. Although Crotone has captured Turriy and showed its power, Daves is very happy to see: his team officers None of them proposed to take the initiative to show good to Crotone.

Looking at the soldiers actively training on the training ground, and thinking of Crotone's army raiding in the city of Turiy, Daves had no fear in his heart.

…………………………

At this time, in the city of Turiyi, Melanius did not restrain his soldiers after occupying the whole city. As a result, the soldiers went on rampage in the city, robbed property, wounded the people, and even raped women. The people of Turiyi suffered Unspeakable.

Meersius took a fancy to one of the most luxurious houses, and after driving away the owner, he moved in by himself, and held a banquet and celebrated the victory with his officers.

While he was drinking and enjoying himself, he heard the prostitute in his arms say: There is a disciple of the historian Herodotus in the city of Turiyi. He immediately became interested and asked the guards to invite this person.

When Ansitanos arrived here, I saw a group of Crotones in the hall reclining on the reclining chairs, sipping fine wine, chewing food, and holding beautiful women in their arms. Those who take the initiative to laugh and flirt are mostly senior prostitutes, and most of those who pretend to be happy are Turiyi women.

Some of the Crotones boasted the victory loudly, and they were flattering to Melancios; others told some vulgar jokes, and the stupid and poor protagonist was Tury; The people who only took care of their hands, and the woman in their arms directly did a shameful thing under the public... Amidst the laughter and ****, Ancitanos's face was tight, and the wine was flowing everywhere. The marble floor enters the hall.

"Oh, the historian from Turriy is here!" Melanius drank a lot, but his head was still sober, he patted the full **** of the woman in his arms: "Go and pour him a glass of wine. "

The woman passed the wine to Ancitanos, and he took a sip without hesitation.

"Turiyi, are you drinking to celebrate our victory?!" An officer took the opportunity to smile and run him.

"No, I just cherish the memory of Subaris, a city-state that was once famous for its wine in Great Greece. It was strong at that time, and Crotone was weak, just like Crotone and Turri are today. , But those who bullied the weak eventually went to extinction." Ansitanos said calmly.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!..." Melancios laughed: "Unfortunately, it was the weak Crotone who destroyed the mighty Subaris! Today, the weak Tury is stronger. Crotone occupies, your statement is completely wrong!"

"The gods are on top, no matter how powerful the city-state is, it will not be able to escape." Ansitanos replied forcefully.

"Perhaps one day...er..." Melanius burped a drink, and said disapprovingly: "But you and I may not have a chance to see." At this point, he sat up and said loudly. "I heard that you are a disciple of Herodotus. If you want to write history in the future, is there my name and this brilliant victory in the book for future generations to know?!"

"No, only the sins and scandals you committed in Turei!" Ansitanos replied coldly.

"Bold!"

"You Tuliyi don't want to live anymore!"

……

When the officers heard this, they scolded and even smashed food on him.

Melansius waved his hand, disapproving of Ansitanos’ provocation, instead he held up the wine glass and said triumphantly: "'The winner has proved his strength by action, and the loser can only prove him by excuse. Weakness.' This is the motto of the athletes. The ancient heroes will only enjoy the joy of capturing Troy. No one will care about the suffering of the conquered—the Trojans. If they fail, they must admit it, just like Lucani. Asia..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something and asked: "I heard that the consul of Amendorara Dai...Daves annihilated 10,000 of the Lucania coalition forces with 6,000 men. This Is it true? Fake? Is it Tarantom's credit? Or is it indeed his credit?"

"It was indeed the battle he planned and organized." Ansitanos answered truthfully.

"In this way, this Daves is still a person...I don't know who is better than him?" Melanius looked eager to try.

Ansitanos looked at him, moved in his heart, and said, "Behind you is the mighty Crotone, and behind him is the little Amendorara."
