After some discussion, both of them agreed that if the negotiation is to be successful, the first thing to do is to get the support of Dionia.

So, they rushed to the Dionia military camp, just in time to hear the tsunami-like cheers of the landslide in the camp.

The two were puzzled, Dionian Herald Tolmeide arrived and brought Daves' order: Allow them to enter the camp.

"Are you training?" Umarcus asked curiously.

Tolmeide said with respect: "Do you mean the cheers? That is our commander Master Davers who is being beaten by a military stick!"

"What did you say?!" Umarcus thought he had heard it wrong.

Tolmeide said the previous incident in a solemn manner, Umarcus and Disitimas were stunned: The Archon of Dionia was fighting a Tarantu because of his soldiers. Citizens, not only punished the soldiers who committed the crime, but also punished themselves? !

Not only did the two of them feel no gratitude for this, but fear in their hearts, more and more fears: the archons of a coalition were punished for such a trivial matter, in the Greece they knew In history, I have never heard of it! They also served as consuls several times and commanded the city-state army many times. Of course, they know that discipline is important to the army in wars. The Dionian army’s requirements for military discipline are so strict. No wonder they can overcome it. Fierce Puchetti!

"Horrible Daves!..." Dixitimas sighed in a low voice.

Yumakas happened to hear it, and he was taken aback, and then he understood the meaning of Desitimas's words: In order to achieve his own goals, Dafus could actually be so cruel to himself! And through the contact with Daves during this period, Umarcus deeply felt that Dionia has such a lifelong consul, which is probably not a good thing for Tarantum... The only good thing is that Tarantum The citizens of Mumbai finally reached an agreement on the peace talks. Otherwise, with the current mental state of the Dionian soldiers, let them attack Mesapi again, who knows what will happen! Damn Timias! Couldn't these free and loose Tarantums think about the city-state before making trouble? !

………………………

When the two consuls saw Daves, he was lying in the military tent to be treated by a doctor. Although Daves was surprised when he learned that they were coming, he immediately expressed his support.

After everyone's deliberation, in the early morning of the next day, the Tarantum Allied Forces pulled out their camp and marched eastward.

On the way to Brindisi, Maple's coalition forces blocked the way, and the two sides opened a battle face to face.

After a standoff for an hour, the Tarantum coalition forces never sounded the offensive horn. The Tarantum, who took care of their faces, expressed their wishes in this way, and the shrewd Pasimerus quickly After understanding the intentions of the Greeks, and witnessing the tight array of Dionian soldiers and the high morale, what Tremoni had said heavier in his heart.

He didn't have any more hypocrisy, and once again sent Timogras.

The negotiation between the two parties begins.

In the evening, a peace agreement between Tarantum, Mesapi, and Puchetti was reached: the two sides immediately ceased the war, Tarantum returned Manduria to Mesapi, and the three parties returned their captives and The corpse of the soldier, Tarantum, Mesapi and Puchetti are non-aggressive for ten years...

In addition, Tarantum also signed a trade agreement with Puchetti.

Talantum's return to Manduria is actually a last resort. The Tarantum Senate had negotiated in advance and finally agreed that after Mesapi and Puchetti united, a Manduria alone could not stop the invasion of Mesapi because they could join the Puchetti, Invaded from the wider east of Tarantum. The successive defeats have caused the number of existing citizens of Tarantum to drop sharply. If citizens are sent to move to Manduria, it will not only weaken Tarantum's power, but also be easily besieged and dare not dare to rescue.

Before the negotiation, the two consuls made it clear to Daves: In order to thank Dionia for his selfless help, they are willing to hand over Manduria to Dionia for free,

Daves is not a short-sighted person, he is very clear: this is Tarantum who wants to pull Dionia into the water, driving Dionia to fight Mesapi and Pucheti for a long time, for Tarantu She keeps out the wind and rain.

Of course, Daves didn't want to be taken advantage of, and with Dionia's current strength, he didn't have the ability to fight on both sides, so he tactfully refused.

Umakas and Dixitimas only used Manduria as the weight of the negotiation, and they used the trade agreement to impress Tremoni, and finally forced Pasimerus to make concessions and signed it for ten years. Peace agreement.

At the time of the signing of the agreement, Tremoni made a small request to see Davors, the Archon of Dionia, but Davers tactfully refused it because of his unhealed injuries and inconvenience to see people. As wished.

……………………

While the Tarantum was undergoing peace talks, the senators of the Dionian Senate finally passed a resolution to support the Xiru tribe after reading Daves’ reply.

When discussing the choice of the messenger for Cosenza, Mariji immediately stood up, recommended Pollux, and praised his eloquence, and he would surely persuade Cosenza’s Bruti tribal alliance to spare Siru. .

Immediately afterwards, Melses and Felicius rushed to praise Pollux, thinking that he was the best candidate for messenger.

Polyxis was terrified by the former mercenary veterans. He immediately felt: This is Daves’ confidant deliberately targeting himself, if he really goes to Cosenza, Mariji and the others If something happens, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back!

He was originally a person who wouldn't take risks easily, so he hurriedly got up and refused. Under the siege of Mariji's words, Pollux did not hesitate to belittle himself, and almost even said begging for mercy.

Marigi and the others gave up joking about him. In the end, Anta Auris, who had newly joined the Senate and had no specific affairs, asked to go there.

………………………

Tarantum coalition forces returned to Tarantum with the bodies of the released Tarantum citizens and soldiers, including of course the assembled body of Achita.

The Tarantum Senate even banned the people from leaving the city after being reminded by the consul Umakas, allowing the Dionian army to return to the camp smoothly.

After attending the funeral of Achita, Daves and some of the soldiers who remained behind took the boat back to Turei.

………………………

After Anta Auris accepted the mission of the envoy, he took three entourages and set off for Cosenza that afternoon.

He didn't take the road from Turriy to the west, through the mountain road to Laos, and then to Vig City. Although it is safe, most of the road is mountain road, which is too time-consuming. Instead, he chose to take the trail on the south bank of the Crati River, up the river, to Bisignia, and then turn south to Cosenza.

After crossing the wooden bridge of the Klaty River, Anta Oris and his team walked west along the south bank of the Klaty River. The terrain became higher and the road narrowed. A dirt road that can accommodate three people side by side: on the left hand side is a steep mountain wall, on the right hand side is a steep **** over ten meters high, and underneath is the turbulent Krati River.

Anta Auris looked down, and saw the dark blue river roaring, hitting the black and yellow rocks continuously, making a thrilling loud noise. One after another, large whirlpools appeared and disappeared. How deep...

Anta Auris felt that his legs were a little soft, and the four of them carefully supported him.

Some sections of the road were soaked in rain, the soil was soft and collapsed, and even only one person could pass.

A group of people walked for four hours, but it seemed that they had been walking for a day, and their physical energy was exhausted very quickly. Fortunately, the trail began to descend gradually, and the road became wider and wider. Suddenly, the eyes suddenly opened up: continuous green mountains , The Krati River, whose water has narrowed and the current is more rapid, is a relatively flat depression between the mountains and rivers. And on this relatively flat land stands a small city-Bisignia.

Anta Auris and the others were stopped by Bruti sentry at the exit of the road. Long after showing their intentions, they were escorted through the defensive camp that blocked the intersection and entered the city of Bisignia. Take it to the humble conference hall in Bisignia.

It was said that it was the hall, but in fact it was just a larger thatched wooden house, with firewood burning in the dirt pit in the center of the wooden house. In Turriy, the weather was still warmer in early September. Most people still wore thin shirtless summer Bolton, but it was already a bit cold in the Bisignya Mountains not too far from Turri. The fire pit can not only illuminate, but also drive out the cold.

The three people sitting around the fire pit are all wearing leather jackets. The youngest one in the middle. He stood up and walked to Anta Auris, with a bit of curiosity in his fierce eyes: "Greek, you go to the mountains What are you doing here? Don’t you know that we Bruti people don’t welcome you!"

Anta Auris listened to the interpreter from his entourage, and calmly said: "I am the messenger of Dionia. I am going to Cosenza on the order of the Senate. I have important things to do with the chief of Bruti. We discuss."

"What's important?! What's important?!" He asked with interest.

Anta Auris said seriously: "I'm sorry, I can only speak out when I meet the big bosses of Bruti."

The young man’s face changed immediately, and he shouted with a vicious look: "If you don’t tell me, you don’t want to pass Visignia! I suspect that you are Greek spies now! Come here, get me arrested. , Each hit ten lashes, and then locked in the sheep pen!"

The expressions of Anta Auris and his entourage changed.

"Hold on, Kanaru!" At this time, the man next to him stood up and stopped and said, "They are Dionians. Before Chief Nikuru wrote back, it's best not to hurt these people!"
