Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 57: Northern Enemy Situation

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

Since Potentia joined the Dionian League, Potentia’s situation has been greatly improved. The south side, which should have been guarded, has become its rear, not only with Grumentu There was trade exchanges between Pixis and Poseidon, and the subordinate city of Poseidonia followed suit, and the volume of maritime trade with the southern Italian city-states increased year by year. The life of the Potentias has improved, and the treasury of Potentias has also become abundant. Every time Puamote thinks about this, he feels relieved that joining the League of Dionia is the most correct one. A decision!

Of course, the frequent contacts between Potentia and Dionian are naturally influenced by some Dionian culture. For example, the Potentian people have also begun to like the sport of rugby. While worshiping the **** Asinu, the Potentians also began to pray to Hades, the patron saint of Dionia. The priests of Potentians have repeatedly reported this issue to Puamote. , He was also helpless.

He knew: This is the spontaneous behavior of the people of the tribe. The Dionians did not deliberately guide them. However, the people of the tribe would feel that Asinu was in frequent contact with the compatriots of Grumentum. The crude statues of the mountain gods cannot be compared with the majestic bronze statues of Hades in Greece, and I heard that the temple of Hades in Turei is even more majestic, so how can they not let them be in awe and begin to transfer their beliefs Woolen cloth? ! What's more, Hades has so many attractive stories (from Plessinus's "The Book of the Underworld", many stories are very different from the original legends)......

Puamote feels: Dionian’s cultural influence on the Potentians is not a bad thing, because he himself is enjoying the elegant culture of Dionian, just like the lunch he had just eaten. It is the delicacy from Dionian---steamed lamb. He thinks it is much better than the roast lamb and boiled lamb he had eaten before. Therefore, he is eating too much now, and he feels his full stomach comfortably. I was about to take the hound for a walk in the yard, and wanted to digest it through exercise.

At this time, his servant came in and reported: Chief Shahidat asked to see him.

"Let him in." Puamote frowned, and he felt a little uneasy: The tribe of Shahidat is in the northern part of Potentia, near Kopsa near Samona. It can be said to be Potentia. Ya resisted Samona’s forefront, so Shahidat rarely left his territory and came to Potentia.

Are there any movement from the Samoneites? Puamote was thinking anxiously, and Shahidat strode into the backyard. As soon as he saw him, he yelled eagerly: "The chief is not good! The Samoneites are going to attack us. Tentia!"

"What?!" Puamote immediately became nervous and asked urgently: "What happened?!"

"A few days ago, my people observed that many Samonaes entered Kopsa. The city of Kopsa became very lively. They thought they were doing sacrifices or celebrations, but it also improved us. Be vigilant. In the past few days, thousands of Samonaes have suddenly swarmed from the north of Kopsa. They are fully armed and have set up several camps near Kopsa...Big Chief, the situation is not good! Look at this fortunately. , The Samoneites are probably going to attack us Potentia again!" Shahidart said anxiously.

"Thousands? How many of them are there?!" Puamote was a little flustered, but he still tried his best to calmly figure out the situation first.

"Well... about... there are at least 20,000 people! The Samonais sealed off the area around Copsa, and my spies couldn't get in at all!" Shahidart also felt too vague to say, so He explained: "However, we found that there are not only Hirpini flags but also Pentri and Caudini flags in the military flags of the Samonaites!"

Puamote was really taken aback, and said anxiously: "Could it be possible that the four tribes of Samona have been concentrated in Kopsa?!"

"Caraceni's flag has not been found yet." Shahidart said anxiously, "Big Chief, you must send an army to support me immediately! I think the Samoneites may be in these few days. It is possible to launch an offensive inside, but my few hundred soldiers can't stop it at all!"

"In the past, just dealing with a Shillpini made us Potentia very strenuous! Listen to what you said, now there are at least three Samoneite tribes, even if I send all the reinforcements, They may be repelled, but the Samonais will take the opportunity to destroy our main force in the wild and weaken the defense of Potentia City! Alas..." Puamote's eyebrows were wrung together with grief.

The Lucanians have many tribes, and the tribes are united with each other, and eventually formed several large tribal complexes, Potentia, Grumentum, Picosis, and Galagos , Niutum, these tribes united for their own interests, united with each other, quarreled with each other, and kept conflicting. It was not until the emergence of Dionia that the Lucania region was restored to peace.

Samonets are different from Lucanians. Samona-this race that occupies the mountainous area of ​​central Italy, although divided into four major tribes, Silpini, Penteni, Cavutini, and Caraceni, not only is each tribe relatively united, but also among the tribes. The relationship is also harmonious, and there are few fights. Every tribe has a big leader. He is jointly elected by each tribe. Unless the anger is aroused, it is rare to be ousted in the middle. After all, only people who can contact with character can be recognized by each tribe. He will He served as the chief until his death. Unlike the great leader of Lucania, the great leader of the Samone tribe has more power. No matter how far away the tribes live in mountains or valleys, they must be involved in military and diplomatic matters. Obey the orders of the chief. From this point of view, the four tribes of Samona are more like four kingdoms than the tribal union of Lucania and Bruti. Because of the characteristics of this aspect, Samona lives in The race of the barren mountainous area makes the surrounding Latins, Greeks, and Lucarias feel terrified.

Originally, Potentia faced only Silpine, which was the largest of the four tribes of Samona, located in the southern part of the mountainous area occupied by the Samonais, bordering Potentia. Now there are two more tribes. How can we not let Puamote feel nervous? He paced anxiously back and forth in the yard, and finally he made a decision: "Shahidat, you go back immediately and let your tribe Be prepared to quietly transport some supplies to the city. Once you find that the Samoneites have launched an offensive, do not risk resisting. Lead your people to retreat to the city... and I will also notify other tribes immediately. , Make the same preparations."

"This...this...big boss, are we throwing all the land outside the city to those **** pheasants to trample on? (Samonet warriors like to have pheasants on the top and sides of the helmet The feathers of the warriors are distinguished by the rank of warriors, hence the nickname)?! Farmlands, pastures, and houses burned down are tolerable.” The tribe of Shahidat used to be attacked by the Samonais. The entire tribe has been He was accustomed to the days of hiding in Tibet, but he didn’t take it seriously, but he still said anxiously: “If the city of Potentia is besieged by the Samona for a long time, so many people are in the city, and our food will support it. It won’t take a long time!"

"It won’t be long before Dionian’s army will come to support us. Don’t forget, Potentia is a member of the Dionian League!" Puamote has never been like today I am so lucky that I made the decision to join the League of Dionia.

"Yes! Yes! Dionia! Dionia will come to save us!" Shasidart nodded like a chicken pecking, apparently having a great deal of this mighty ally south of Potentia. Confidence, we must know that in the more than three years since Potentia joined the Dionian League, his tribal territory has never been attacked by the Samonais.

Watching Shaxidart’s hurried departure, Puamote’s face became more gloomy. He had already heard about Dionia's declaration of war on Lokri, and Potentia was at this moment. Nia asks for help, will Dionia come to help in time?

Alexis walked into the town hall of Grumentum, where Chief Executive Baghul had already been waiting: "Captain Alexis!" Baghul gave a military salute while wearing Burton.

"Master Baggul!" Alexis, dressed in uniform, gave a veteran to greet him by raising his hand.

"My lord, don't make fun of me, now I wish I could take off this robe, put on the armor, and become a team officer under your command!" Bagul smiled helplessly.

At the beginning, Baghul was the first captain of the Third Army and the chief executive of Grumentum. It was only executed just after occupying the Grumentum area in order to stabilize the situation in Lucania. Expedient. Neither the Senate nor Daves will give a region the highest administrative and highest military power (at that time, the commander of the Third Army Hironimus was in Turei, and the position of the first commander was in the Lucania region. It is the highest military position) concentrated on one person, so after Dionia gained Picosis and the ruling of Lucania had gained the upper hand, the Senate proposed to let Baggul dismiss one of his positions.

Considering that Grumentum is located in the center of the Lucania region, and consolidating Dionian’s rule over it, it will be able to completely stabilize the entire Lucania, so Daves temporarily removed him from the legion. For this reason, he persuaded him with all his heart and soul for several days.

Now Alexis heard what he meant, and immediately asked: "Why? What's the matter?!"
