"Consultant, there are many people in Crotone, but we are few. If we rush to attack, will it be--" Cornelus was worried and was pushed back by Amintas as soon as he uttered his words: "Fighting If you don’t understand, don’t mix things up!"

Daves immediately scolded Amintas and asked him to apologize, and then explained to Cornellus and other old citizens: "As the consul of Amendorara, and at the same time as a battlefield leader , I will cherish the lives of citizens of Amendorara very much. I am not very sure, and will not attack the mighty Crotone army indiscriminately! Crotone’s occupation of Turei has gained great glory and richness. They must be very proud, and their general, Melanius, is a more proud person! These Crotone soldiers, full of trophies, may be thinking about how to return. Going home to share the property, there is no desire to fight. When they arrive at the camp, they are probably exhausted. The defense of the camp is bound to be lax, and we give them a heavy blow when they are asleep, just like the last time they regained Amendo. Same as Lara!" Seeing Cornelus and the others meditating, Daves added another sentence: "Of course, if our spies find that the Crotone camp is tightly guarded, the battle can only be cancelled."

Felicius emphasized: "The Archon’s plan is indeed feasible!"

Antonius said: "We agree!"

At this time, Scombras, Terry Todd Moss, and Plot Silus first expressed their approval, and the offensive plan was passed.

"Now go and gather the citizens of the four brigades to gather in the square. Each brigade captain must pay attention and tell the soldiers not to make noise, not to make noise, and to keep quiet! I don’t want the spies in Crotone to find us. Abnormal!" Dafus calmly issued an order: "My offensive plan is..."

Felisius and the veterans who served as officers of the military team all took their orders.

Daves said sincerely to Cornelus: "Turei has suffered such a disaster. As its ally, we should help its people. I want to form a Turri emergency rescue committee. You are in charge of directing and providing Turiyi with food, accommodation, and medical assistance..."

Cornerus only hesitated, then nodded in agreement.

Other old citizen veterans who originally hated Turiyi remained silent, but Stromboli reminded: "If the food is taken to help the Turiyi people, I am afraid we will not have enough food."

"Don't worry!" Daves said confidently: "The Crotones robbed so much food, and once they defeated Melanius, they will have everything." He added in his heart. One sentence: Of course you will get more important things!

"I hope the people of Crotone are as unguarded as you said." Stromboli didn't argue any more, because he also had expectations in his heart.

Daves remembered that there was another person in the city who was very familiar with Turey, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, is Kunogolata's injury healed? ""

"Should be much better. I saw him in the temple yesterday, without slaves, he walked down the mountain alone." Scombras said.

"Let him be your assistant. He is familiar with Turriy's people and things." Daves said to Cornellus.

"But he was previously--" Cornelus hesitated.

"I think Turiyi is the mother country that gave birth to him and raised him. It is the place where he has lived for decades since he was a child. Turiyi's harm to him should not be as much as his heart to Turi. Yi’s worries and misses, especially after the city of Turiyi was burnt down!” Davers said with certainty, although he had only contacted a few times, in his impression that old man (in fact, Kuno Gorata was only 50 years old). In his early years) In the past few years, he spent a lot of energy on Turye’s stability and prosperity, and even offended many people. He would not let Turye down easily.

Sure enough, Kunogolata, who was so sad that he almost fainted before hearing that Turri was burned, was notified by the Senate and immediately rushed to Cornellus's house to discuss with him about the rescue.

…………………………

At this moment, Daves summoned Lucania's leader Vesbah and his son Baggul in his house.

"We are going to attack Crotone's army tonight. I hope you can join. If you win, your five-year service period will be reduced by half." Daves said straightforwardly without going around the circle.

"Attack Crotone's army?! I heard that there are more than 10,000 of them!" Although Weisba is now a slave, his eyes and ears are not blocked, he hesitated.

"Let's participate!" Bagul said first.

"Son, you--" Weisba panicked when he heard it, and was about to wink at him.

Bagul did not look at his father, but raised his head and said loudly again: "We Lucanians will participate!" Because of his old age and the status of the leader, Weisba was only confined in the city and was not forced to participate in the service. During the period of labor, Bagule participated in many rugby matches during this period. From this, he learned about the special characteristics of Amendorara, a civic army. At the same time, he also learned about the young consul in front of him in a private chat with the soldiers. He believed that since Amendorara dared to attack, he was sure of success. This was a good opportunity for their tribe.

"Okay! Very good!" Daves was not only happy for Baggul's promise, but also excited about the results of the "assimilation policy" so soon.

Davers stepped forward, patted Baggul on the shoulder, and said with a little excitement: "I believe this will be an extremely correct decision for you or your people!"

Bagul did not evade.

Weesba sighed lightly.

"What to do next, ask your brother-in-law Asistes to tell you that he will be your adjutant and you are the captain of the Lucania team." Daves looked behind him, Yassi Stes smiled shyly on the side.

…………………

At noon, Crotone's army abandoned the thousands of people in Turrii outside the ruins of Turrii, and retreated with a large amount of looting, but did not burn the pontoon bridge.

The news came back to Amendorara. Daves, accompanied by priests, arrived at the Temple of Zeus on the top of the mountain and sacrificed a bull. In the singing of carols, he prayed to Zeus for this expedition, priest They blessed him and performed sacred divination.

Daves returned to the square and told all the citizens who were waiting: "Zeus's foretelling is a good omen! We will surely win!"

Because of the military order, the unarmed citizens did not cheer loudly, but they all showed excitement and enthusiasm.

The entire city of Amendorara is in action.

Looking at the people rushing to feed cattle and horses carrying food, carrying supplies, filed out from the gate of the city, Daves' mind inexplicably came up with the words Caesar said in front of the Rubicon in the past life. : "The dice went down!"

……………………

As for what happened that day, Ansitanos, who wrote "History of Great Greece" more than ten years later, gave a detailed description in the chapter "The Burning of Turii":

On that day, the sky was dim, and the thick dark clouds were very low. It seemed that the gods showed ominous signs from the beginning...

The soldiers in Crotone are not humans, they are robbers and beasts! They snatched everything they could eat, even the oatmeal in the bowls of children; they snatched all valuable things, even the teeth in the mouths of the people. Any people who stepped forward to stop them were ruthlessly knocked down by them, and even lost their lives; for those who fell on their knees and begged, they indifferently turned a blind eye. The desperate wailing of the Turiyi people spread from every house, and the blood and tears of the Turiyi people flowed from every street. What kind of sins did the Turyin commit that caused such a terrible demon! (It should be said that Ansitanos's position in the book "History of Great Greece" is basically neutral, but in this chapter he has invested so much emotion that the people of Crotone later protested and believed that Ansi Thanos seriously exaggerated the facts, which is not conducive to the unity of the country, and demanded deletion. Anchitalus refused, and this lawsuit went on for a long time.)

Finally, Crotone soldiers used shields and spears to drive the people of Turiyi out of the city, and then spread the branches and hay on every corner of the city and pour oil, and the city of Turiyi began to burn...

The Turiyi people watched their homes turn to ashes in the fire, and the temples they worshipped crashed down but they were helpless. Did the gods abandon Turiyi and let Hevestos cast an angry fire!

After the Crotone retreats, the people of Turiyi ran into the city frantically despite the fact that the city of Turiyi was still smoking thick smoke and the flames were not gone. The scorching temperature fumigated their flesh and blood, but they desperately rushed into the ashes braving Mars, looking for everything that worked...

There is no shelter, no food, no clothes, no money, how can the Turiyi people survive in the Subari Plain that has turned into a wilderness...

Just when they were desperate, the Amendorara appeared.

Thousands of Amendolaras brought hundreds of panniers (half of which contained weapons and equipment), and began to rescue the people of Turii, set up tents, dig camps... Kunogolata completely forgot I have learned what the Turyi people have done to him before. I heard that the injuries he suffered from the previous beatings are not completely healed, but they have been running around every corner to help all Turyi people in need; the administration of Amendorara Chief Cornellus arranged manpower, distributed supplies, and organized the rescue work in an orderly manner...

Please allow me to mention Daves at the end. He was the archon of Amendorara and the hero who rescued the city of Turri from the Lucanians, but Turri The people actually saw him for the first time, and saw him in a difficult situation. In their eyes, this young man who looked like he had just grown up was as kind as his own child. He always wore a gentle smile, listened to the people's painful confession with extreme concentration, and comforted the injured people with a gentle voice. Pick up the crying children, wipe away the tears and dust for them; lift up the injured old man, and deliver soft bread...

Under the leadership of Daves, the Amendoras, like their relatives, are doing their best to help the people of Turii. Daves once again rescued the Turyes, so that the Turyes who lost their homes did not suffer from hunger and disease. They thanked the Amendorans from the bottom of their hearts and thanked the hero Dai who saved the Turyes twice. Firth!
