Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece Chapter 63: The amazing news from Trina

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

Aristocrates understands that the "Turiyi tragedy" Davos refers to two years ago when Turiyi counterattacked the Lucarians and rushed into the mountains, and eventually all their lives were lost on the banks of the River Ra. .

He thought for a while, and he was still a little unwilling: "But...it's a shame to miss such a good opportunity!"

"Aristo." Daves smiled slightly: "I ask you, is it Dionian, or Picocis, Potentia?"

"Of course it is our Dionia! Picosis and Potentia are not our opponents together!" Aristocrates answered without hesitation.

"In this case, what we should do is to eat like bread, take a bite, chew it slowly, eat it into the stomach, and turn it into our own strength, until it is full, rather than taking a bite. If you keep eating without swallowing it, you may end up choking." Daves explained patiently.

"I see, my lord!" Aristocrates said convincingly, as clever as he knew what Daves meant. It took time and energy to gain a foothold in the center of Lucania, and then Dionia's strength unhurriedly crushed Picosis and Potentia from the front.

"So now we have to negotiate with the messengers of Picosis and Potentia, and sign peace agreements with them such as non-aggression, etc., to appease them and prevent them from being around Grumentum. The area is blatantly messing up, but the time limit of the agreement cannot be too long." A trace of murderous intent was revealed in Daves' calm tone.

"As for Calagosso...It is said that it is located in the deep mountains and has little contact with the outside world. The living environment is relatively harsh. You can consider forming an alliance with it to strengthen trade relations..." Daves said here and heard He stopped talking at the voice outside the living room, smiled and said, "An interesting guest is here."

"Interesting guest?" Aristocrates rarely heard Daves's comment. He looked out the door curiously. When the slave housekeeper Bazo led a person in, he suddenly realized: It turned out to be him!

Ciplos, Trina, when several city-state envoys from the south came together to ask Dionia for help, his lanky spear-like figure was quite eye-catching. Also notable is his behavior. Not only did Dionia raise the issue of establishing the Southern Italy Alliance, he was the first envoy of the Crotone allies that he fully supported; secondly, the First Army Corps that went to reinforce. Captain Capus later mentioned in his report to Daves: During the reinforcements, Trina’s envoy Cipros strongly requested to follow the Dionian army on the march and eat and live with the soldiers. It is reported that at Trina’s civic assembly, he also praised the combat effectiveness of the Dionian army and proposed that Trina should strengthen cooperation with Dionian...

Aristocrates remembered that Davers once heard about this man’s performance and said: Cypros is a smart man with agility, observability, and flexibility!

So this time the celebration of the completion of the Temple of Hades, he is one of the distinguished guests proposed and invited by Davest.

At this moment, Daves is watching Cipros, but what he thinks of is the conversation between him and the messenger Elia, which was secretly reported by Christoja restaurant last night.

Daves knew in his heart: After Dionia defeated Crotone and gradually became the most important and powerful force in southern Italy, it would naturally attract the attention of many people. And Dionia's unique political system can't escape the eyes of the interested people, but there are not many as insightful as Ciplos analyzed...

"Ciplos, Dionia’s best friend, welcome you!" Daves said loudly and happily, "I was busy with celebrations these days. I originally wanted to entertain you after the celebrations to express My thanks, I didn’t expect..."

Siplos respectfully saluted: "My lord Archon, I insisted on coming to visit. I was really helpless. The city urgently asked me to convey a proposal to you."

"Oh...what's the proposal?" Daves motioned to Cipros to sit down and talk.

Ciplos glanced at Aristocrates, then hesitated.

"I would like to introduce you, Aristocrates, a very talented young man, my exclusive clerk (actually only a clerk, because he has not yet obtained the qualifications for pre-citizenship), you can rest assured. "Daves' words made Aristocrates listen, and he was quite moved.

Siplos nodded to him, sat on the wooden chair, and then asked: "Does the Archon know the Bruti people?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Daves understood what Cipros came from: "I know a little bit about this neighbor west of the Dionian League. The Brutis are natives of Italy, and they are also tribals. However, compared with the Lucarias, their number is small and the danger to Dionia is much less. I heard that they often attack your Trina." Daves looked at it with a smile but a smile. Cipros said.

"It's not just Trina, they also invade Asprostum and the southern part of Turíy from time to time." Cipros reminded.

"But after all, the frequency is small, and since the establishment of the Dionian League, the Brute's harassment of us has been completely invisible." Daves said with a relaxed expression.

"In fact, starting from last year, the Brutis suddenly stopped attacking all the territories of the Greek city-states. This is not just because Crotone, Siritin, and our Trina coalition gave the Brutis Severe injury--" Cipros paused, feeling Davers's eyes focus, he deliberately increased the volume and said: "It is also because of the major changes that have taken place within the Bruti."

"What's the change?" Daves said with a calm expression in his heart.

"Trina borders the town of Knapetia, the Bruti town, and fights with the Bruti all the year round. They are relatively familiar with them, and there are some sources of information." Cipros' expression became Seriously: "Last year we got news that the leaders of the various tribes of Bruti gathered in Cosenza and have been discussing the formation of a tribal alliance."

"It's true?!" Daves was surprised and couldn't help leaning forward. It's no wonder that he was a little uncomfortable. The reason why he pretended not to care before was because he was Knowing that Cypros’s visit was related to the Brutis, he didn’t want to be too enthusiastic, and lost too many chips in discussing future attacks on the Brutis. After all, the Brutis cannot be like Lucania. Like people, it poses a huge threat to Dionia.

As far as he knows, in the small mountain area occupied by the Bruti, their tribe has always been divided: the tribe in the north is centered on the city of Vig, because it borders Laos, so it used to It has a close relationship with the Lucanians. They were there before the Allied forces of the Lucanian tribes invaded Turei; the central part is centered on the large city of Cosenza, which is the most powerful; to the east, in the upper reaches of the Krati River There are other Bruti tribes who have built the small city of Bisignia. They used to climb the mountains and looted the southern part of the Subari Plain. This is their masterpiece; in the southeast of Cosenza, there is another small city, Ambania. , It is said that it was built by the tribe that escaped from the city of Asprostum when it fell to Crotone; and to the south of Cosenza, the city of Knapetia borders Trina. The culprit who infested Trina.

The Bruti Mountains, with high mountains and dense forests, and rugged roads, have the only plateau in southern Italy. The cities of Vig and Knapetia guard the narrow passages that border the sea on the north and south sides of the west coast, Bisignia and Amba. Nia blocked the only two mountain roads with the east coast, making this area a land of four forts. Since calling it the habitat of the Bruti, the Bruti have always rushed out of the mountain to invade others. Almost never invaded, but there are more internal tribal wars. Most of the wars were initiated by Cosenza. The most powerful one was delusional to annex other tribes, except for the close relationship between Krapetia and Cosenza, which remained neutral, Vig, Bisignia, and Ambarli. Asia often unites against Cosenza. Because the frequent inter-tribal wars consumed the strength of the Bruti, they did not pose too much of a threat to the Greek city-states. But now that the Brutis, who have always been struggling, want to establish a tribal alliance, its threat to the Greeks has greatly increased, especially in Dionia, whose territories are bordered by the Bruti Mountains.

"Of course this is true." Cipros said affirmatively: "Because in May this year, the Bruti Tribal Alliance has been established! It is reported that the Bruti tribes elected Cosenza chief Pi Anlun as the new building. The leader of the alliance, the leader of Vig City, Sedorum, the leader of Bisignia, Likum, the leader of Ambania, the leader of Bogam, and the leader of Krapetia, Pangem, are the alliance The elder, with Cosenza as the center of the tribal alliance, governs all the Bruti tribes..."

After listening to Cipros, Daves couldn't sit still a bit. He stood up involuntarily, and while pacing slowly, he asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get the news? ?"

Seeing Davers's performance in this way, Cipros knew that this incident had already attracted the great attention of the highest power of Dionia, and he was immediately calm.

But he didn’t know that the reason why Daves cares so much about this matter is not only because the Brute’s formation of a tribal alliance, it may cause danger to the territory of the Dionian alliance, and more importantly, Dave Si has already been considering the issue of the Brutis.

As Crotone was also defeated by Dionian, the establishment of the Southern Italy League made the Dionian League in southern Italy hardly capable of countering it.
