"The people of Crotone have bullied us, why don't the soldiers show them a bit of a good look?!!!" Stromboli, who wanted to compromise with Crotone before, also had a look at this moment. anger.

"The soldiers obeyed Master Davers' orders and guarded the city strictly, but they all wish they could not eat Crotone's meat raw!" Ammentas vented his grievances to Daves.

"My lord Archon, are we just watching the Crotones run wild on our land like this?!" Scombras roared unwillingly.

"Of course not!" Daves resolutely replied loudly, with a strange light in his eyes: "The fist is retracted for a better fight. It is true that Crotone's army is stronger than us. So we Wait, just like a smart fighter in boxing always defends first, waits for the opponent to reveal his flaws, and then strikes to be fatal!"

Everyone in the venue was shocked.

…………………

By the time Archita came ashore in Turri, Melanius had already returned to the city.

Achita made a serious protest to him on behalf of Tarantum. Melancios said disapprovingly: "Crotone has no malice against Amendorara. I just want to go out and talk to him. The young consul of Shengduo said hello, but he was too timid to come out and meet me!"

Achita breathed a sigh of relief for a while, then he threw down a ruthless sentence: "If Crotone fights Amendorara, Tarantum will unite Metapontum and Heraclea. Go to war with Crotone!"

At the same time, he persuaded Melanius: "Since Crotone has taken Turriy, it has washed away its shame and won great glory. Then, it is time to return to Crotone with troops and let this The land regained its tranquility. I believe that Lockley and Tarantum will be very happy!"

Melantius certainly could hear the threat in Aceta's words. He had a calm face and did not respond.

After completing her mission, Archita hurried to Amendolara.

At the foot of the mountain, he saw the ruins of warehouses and hotels that had been burnt to ashes and still emitting smoke, and he became nervous again.

When he entered the city, the anger on the faces of the people came into his eyes one by one. Therefore, when he saw Daves, he expressed his condolences and concern for what Amendorara had suffered, and then said frankly: "Daves, Tarantum has no intention of starting a war with Crotone for the time being. , I hope you can understand."

"Don't worry, although we are angry at Crotone's actions, we can still restrain it." Daves said calmly: "A man was bitten by a dog, can I bite it back again?!"

Achita did not laugh. The calmer Daves was, the more he felt a little uneasy: thinking that after annihilating the Lukanian coalition, the soldiers of Tarantum were celebrating the victory. But Daves and his men went back to camp to sleep, saying that they were going to recover the stamina that had been exhausted, and then told him the next day, ‘take back Amendorara! ’

……………………

When Tarantum’s messenger arrived in Crotone, the council in Crotone’s town hall was having a heated discussion about the occupation of "Turiyi City".

Conservatives such as General Lucias suggested: After plundering Turri’s wealth, support a pro-Crotone puppet government, and then retreat to avoid causing dissatisfaction from surrounding city-states.

Radical, such as Chief General Milon (with the same name as the famous athlete Milon in Crotone a hundred years ago, because this athlete is too legendary and is regarded as Crotone’s hero, so many of Crotone’s heroes later Thoné’s children were named Miron by their parents), who believed that Turriy and Crotone had already forged a deep hatred, and the supporting government could hardly keep the power, and the distance to Tarantum was too close. If the garrison is kept Not only will it disperse Crotone's own strength, but it will also arouse the hatred of the local people and Tarantum over time. The best way is to burn the city!

"Burn City?!" The other generals and members of the council were shocked when they heard it.

"Yes, Burning City!" Milon said passionately: "Our ancestors defeated Subaris and destroyed the city twice, the last time was to dig the Krati River and wash away the city of Subaris with floods. , Created a prestigious fame, shocked Great Greece, in exchange for the prosperity of Crotone and the hegemony of this area! However, since we were defeated by the coalition of Lockley and Lijim several decades ago, some city-states no longer So respect us, and secretly against us, we need to re-establish Crotone's majesty! Now, a great opportunity is before us, this is a gift from the gods! If we miss it, we will be punished. !

And after the destruction of Turiyi, the Subari Plain will temporarily become a land of no ownership. We can recruit city-state immigrants from Greece or other places that have made friends with us, and build a new city on the Subari Plain. Later, we sent some landless citizens in our city to become new immigrants to the new city, believing that the surrounding city-states could not fault us, and our influence in Crotone expanded to the north and strengthened our power... "

Milon’s words were both inspiring and actionable, and were endorsed by the majority of the council.

So, Crotone’s messenger rushed to Turriy, and Melanius, who was idle, got the order of Crotone’s town hall. He was actually excited, and said happily, "As the first Three generals who destroyed the city-states on the Subari Plain, I will definitely be named in history!"

He acted quickly, and first asked the freemen who took refuge in him to immediately use a boat to build a pontoon bridge on the Krati River (the original pontoon bridge has been burned by the Turyis).

Then it was Luo Zhi’s charge, claiming to punish the instigator behind Crotone’s messenger, and as a result, all the wealthy businessmen in Turiyi were arrested, tortured, imprisoned, and even executed. All the wealth of the family was confiscated.

Soon, the impatient Melanius thought this method was too slow, so he was really impatient, and simply ordered: looting all the food and property in the city!

Suddenly, the whole city of Turiyi burst into tears, and the people of Turiyi who lay on the ground wailing never expected that in the near future, more terrible disasters would befall them...

……………………

The Amendorara scout, who was cruising outside the city of Turiyi, saw from a distance the Crotone soldiers escorted the people of Turiyi out of the city.

Shortly afterwards, thick smoke rose from all over the city, and a fire soon ignited...

The scout immediately reported to Ryders.

Leides was shocked when he heard that, and quickly rode across the Saraceno River to confirm.

At this time, Turiyi has become a city of fire, and people outside the city are crying loudly...

Soon, Daves received the urgent news and was immediately stunned: Crotone is destroying the city! Are they going to retreat? !

Asisters cursed Crotone's brutality on the sidelines, but Daves sat down, rubbed his chin, thinking about the significance of this great event to Amendorara.

Next, Assistus saw Daves standing up again, pacing back and forth in the hall, looking very strange.

When he saw some dizziness, Daves suddenly asked in a trembling voice: "If Crotone's army sets out now, where will they go by dusk?"

Asistes thought for a while, and said: "They should not walk fast with so much luggage, and it is estimated that they will be able to reach Castellon at dusk."

"Will Castro let the army enter the city?" Daves asked again eagerly.

"How is it possible! These guys have just looted and burned the city of Turiyi!"

Daves nodded. Assistus’s opinion was consistent with what he thought. He walked a few steps back and forth, and finally made up his mind. He said, "You go and let Ryders pay close attention to the River Claty. Was the pontoon burned down! At the same time, Izam’s mountain reconnaissance team was sent to follow the marching situation of Crotone’s army. Where is the camp? How to arrange it? ... All the details, but keep it hidden, don’t let Croto. The insider found out! I want him to send someone to report to me at any time!"

"Yes!" Assistus replied excitedly. After following Daves for so long, he knew that Daves must be brewing a big action. The young man couldn't help but asked excitedly: "My lord, are you going to attack this army in Crotone?!"

"If you don't attack or not, it depends on whether the Crotone people give us a chance!" Daves sneered: "This evil wolf in Crotone owes a lot of blood debts and wants to go back easily. It's not that easy, I believe that the impartial Hades will take care of us! It's time for us to show our fangs!

Daves said so righteously, in fact, there is another reason that made him make up his mind: the ruined city of Turiyi made him vaguely see a greater opportunity than attacking Lucania, one that gave Armendo Lara's opportunity to be powerful quickly! But this requires him to gamble again!

The Senate meeting was convened urgently. When Daves announced the news of "Turiyi was burned", the senators were not surprised. They had digested this shocking news before coming. It was just the feelings of the old citizens. It's more complicated. They once hated Turiyi's selfishness for causing Amendorara to be hit hard, but when more terrible retribution came to Turiyi, they found that they did not feel how refreshed in their hearts, but compassion overwhelmed their hatred.

But then Daves said indignantly: "Crotone’s crimes must be punished! As an ally of Turri, we, Amendorara, have an obligation to avenge the people of Turri! Of course, we have more It is necessary to tell Crotone that the Subari Plain is not a place where they want to come and leave! I announce that Amendorara will mobilize for war and prepare to attack Crotone’s army!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was an uproar in the venue.

"Great! I should have beaten these damned Crotones!" Amintas exclaimed excitedly.
