"Oh...Tina, the Siracusa army is approaching Trina. I think it is difficult for the Southern Italian League army to stop them on the north bank of the Ramato River." Asistes said truthfully.
"Then... Isn't Knapetia where we are in danger?!" Tina was startled.
Asistus did not answer. He sat on the edge of the bed and put his arm around his wife: "Is the child asleep?"
"Mza has taken him to sleep." Tina pointed her finger at the bedroom next to her.
Asistes hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "You will take your child to Cosenza tomorrow."
After listening to Tina, she immediately rounded her eyes and said loudly: "I'm not going! I am the daughter of the Senate veteran Weisbah, my brother is the chief executive of Grumentum, and I am Kerner. The wife of Chief Pettia! When all the people of Knapetia are starting to defend the Syracuse from invading their homes, if I leave with my children, what will the people here think! They will do their best! Do you follow your instructions!"
Asistes stayed for a while, he clasped his wife tightly, gritted his teeth and said, "You are right! I patronized and considered the safety of you and your children, forgetting this! Our whole family... all stay here, It’s all here."
Tina in turn comforted her husband: "With Hades's blessing, Knapetia will definitely be able to keep it! And when Master Daves returns, the Syracuse will definitely be driven away!"
Asistes looked at his Lucania wife. She didn’t expect that she had more confidence in the war than she did. I just don’t know how Master Davos is now in Lucania. ?

The messenger sent by Samona’s army stationed in Poseidonia, after an afternoon and evening journey, finally arrived at Samona’s camp not far from the city of Potentia in the early morning.
"What are you talking about?! The Dionians surrounded Poseidonia!" Pentney Grand Chief Tolék couldn't sit still when he heard the news, after all, he stayed in the city of Poseidonia. 3,000 Pentney soldiers garrisoned.
"Have you checked? Which unit of Dionia?" Chief Shillpini, Veronni, asked the messenger carefully.
"It's Dionian's Third Army, we can be sure! And when they were building the camp, the soldiers were almost shouting in Lucanian." The messenger replied confidently.
Villany knew that Dionian’s Third Army was mainly composed of Lucanians. After listening to the messenger’s words, he relaxed: think about it, since he led his army to invade Potentia’s territory. In less than ten days, according to his many years of experience in combat with the Greeks in Campania, the Dionians needed to mobilize citizens, gather troops, prepare supplies, and then lead the army through the rugged Lucani. In the Yashan area, it will take more than half a month to arrive here at the earliest, just as they themselves have been mobilizing and preparing after reaching an agreement with the Syracuse two months ago, and they have gained today's huge momentum.
"How many of them are there?" Torek asked urgently.
"With Elia's army, the total number exceeds 10,000."
"Villani!" Torek looked at the Chief Shillpini.
Villany faced Torek with piercing eyes, of course he knew what the chief Pentney wanted to say.
At this time, Gherny interjected loudly: "This Dionian Third Army ran very fast! Father, finally waited until Uncle Tolék led his army back, and he had Syracuse’s crossbow. Gun, we will attack with all our strength tomorrow, maybe we can take Grumentum!..."
The more Gherny said, the more anxious he became: "The cunning Dionians dare not fight us head-on. They want to disrupt our plan by attacking the city of Poseidonia. We can't—"
Villany interrupted him loudly: "Poseidonia stores a large amount of food for our army. It is very important to us. We must not let the Dionians capture it. We must rescue Poseidonia. Ya!"
Villany’s words made Torek look slightly stunned: "Villany, I will now lead my warriors to rescue Pitney and them." He stood up after speaking, ready to go outside.
"Don't worry, Torek." Veronni turned to look at Cavutini's commander leader: "Dionia's Third Army is a slippery fish, I'm afraid they will run again this time. Drop it and continue to cause us trouble. Chief Quinduink, can you lead the warriors of Kautini and the Pentney warriors to net this fish and wipe it out with Elia's reinforcements!" Veronie's right fist was swayed vigorously in the air: "You can even continue to march towards Elia and try to take down this Greek city. In this way, Poseidonia will be more secure. Guaranteed."
"The Cavutini warriors will agree to your request." Quindock immediately accepted and was able to rob the Greeks. Of course he was very excited and immediately got up and went out with Torek.
When only the leaders of the Shillpini tribe were left in the Great Tent, Gherny complained loudly: "Father, we finally gathered our army and prepared to launch an assault on Potentia. Well, not only did you agree to Torek’s departure, but you also asked Quinduk to help. After so many soldiers left at once, when will we take the city of Potentia?!"
His words were echoed by some leaders.
"Gerney, if the chief doesn’t let Torek leave, he won’t leave?! Don’t forget that there are 3,000 Pentney fighters in Poseidonia, and Torek is Pent. The big leader of Nepal, not the leader of Hillpiri, how could the big leader stop him! If we forcibly stop him, it will only cause quarrels between our two clans, which is not good for the entire war! So the big leader has to do this." Neventum leader Lescuk defended Veronie.
Gerney snorted, still a bit unwilling.
Villany smiled and nodded to Leskuk to express his gratitude. The leader of Beneventum was favored by many tribal leaders and considered the best candidate for the next leader. Villany explained: "If it hadn't been for the Dionian Third Army to come too fast, and the Pentney soldiers in Poseidonia hadn't had time to repair the city defenses, Torek wouldn't have been so panicked. That's why I let Quinn. Duke took the Cavutini fighters with him, so that the total number of the rescue team was 25,000, enough to crush the third army of Dionian, so that these Dionian men would continue to find us. Trouble.
Villany said, looking around the leaders in the account, and said: "They are fighting in Poseidonia, and we can't be idle. The people of Syracuse don't mean that the city of Potentia is high, The mountain road is slanted, that...is it difficult to place and aim the ballista? Let’s take advantage of this time to build a platform to place the ballista according to what the Syracuse people said, while continuing to expand the camp and stepping up to the Boton The Siege of Tia..."
"Got it." Gellney replied feebly.
Villany glanced at him and smiled: "It is actually good for us not to attack Potentia now!"
This sentence successfully aroused everyone's doubts, including his son.
"A few days ago, when the Syracuse people arrived with food, they told us,'Dionysius’ army will launch an attack on Great Greece within a few days.' If this is the case, we will release Slow the offensive and make Potentia temporarily safe. Do you say that the Dionians would choose to meet Siracusa’s army on a flat seashore? Or risk the emptiness of their territory and send reinforcements to travel to Poland. Tentia, dealing with us who will not threaten Dionia for the time being?"
"Of course it is to switch the main force to meet the Syracuse, because they are more threatening!" Leskuk said loudly.
At this time, Gherny also understood and said excitedly: "So, we don’t need to worry about Dionia’s reinforcements, and steadily eat Potentia and even Lucania into our stomachs. !"
Seeing the enthusiasm in the big tent, Veronni took advantage of the situation and said: "So we must tighten our pockets and never let anyone in Potentia slip away, because they are our wealth! "
…………………………………
Since the tribes of Potentia retreated into the city, the Samonaites did not launch an offensive against Potentia, but this did not relieve the people in the city. Anyone who sees the newly built Samona camps under the hillside, standing on the top of the hill overlooking the boundless military tents extending to the west, and the bonfires lit at night are like countless stars in the sky. Can't help being frightened. Not to mention the deepening and extending trenches surrounding the entire hill, and the deer village erected in front of the trenches... The Samonais wanted to kill them all!
The enemy is so strong, but there is no news of reinforcements during this period. Potentia is like an isolated island isolated from the world. Panic and anxiety are gradually devouring the courage of the people to share the same enemy.
Puamote usually exercises composure to boost the confidence of the people, but he wakes up from nightmares every night. In less than a month, he actually lost more than a dozen catties.
And last night he couldn't sleep even more, because the Samonais had a new siege equipment that could shoot helmet-sized stones like an arrow from a hundred meters away, over the city wall, destroying several Wooden house.
Puamote still remembers that the panic in the eyes of every soldier around him was so clear that even he himself had doubts about whether he could hold onto the city.
At this time, he has no appetite to drink the broth brought by the servants. He just took a few bites of rough wheat cakes indiscriminately.
Just as he just put on his armor, the clansman hurried into the hall and shouted excitedly: "Big Chief, Lord Pollet is back!"
