lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the Mediterranean Overlord of Ancient Greece!
"When have we Brutis been so friendly to the Greeks! Is it because they are Dionians, are you afraid of them!" Kanalu roared in annoyance. Over the past year or so, although the Brutis are relatively closed, they still have some understanding of major events happening outside. Suddenly a powerful city-state alliance has emerged around Bruti, which really makes the leaders of the tribes feel pressured. Young people like Kanham are not convinced: "We are wolves, and the Greeks are just sheep. No matter how many sheep and no matter how fat they are, they can't beat wolves!"
"Well, Karam, don’t forget how your father told you when he left. You don’t want him to get angry again when he hears that you don’t listen to our dissuasion, and then deprive you of the rights you just acquired. Give it to your brother." Another older man also stepped forward to persuade.
Kanaru seemed to think of something, his face changed slightly, he turned around angrily, and gave Anta Auris a vicious look when he left.
Anta Auris was listening to his entourage who interpreted their conversation in a low voice, only to see the old man approaching and quietly saying: "The messenger of Dionia, my name is Bajilippi, I am Bisini. A leader of Ya. His name is Bream, who is also the leader of Bisignia."
Anta Auris smiled and saluted and reported his name.
"We will send someone to promptly inform Cosenza of your arrival. You will stay in Bisignia to rest for the time being. Once the news of entry comes, we will send someone to **** you to Cosenza."
………………………
Bruti people sleep very simply. Covered with animal fur, they sleep directly on the wooden floor around the fire pit.
After an afternoon trek and fright, Anta Auris and his party were already exhausted physically and mentally. They fell asleep after dinner, and soon fell asleep, snoring everywhere.
In the darkness, only one person has his eyes open.
Among Antaolis’s three entourages, one of them is his most trusted slave, taking care of his food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way; the other is the Senate because Antaolis doesn’t understand Bruti. , The translator Adpigis specially found for him, he is a freedman registered with Dionian, his mother is a Greek, was looted by the Bruti, and he became pregnant after being abused and gave birth to him. He has been The slave of the Bruti, tasted the hardships of life, and finally seized an opportunity to escape from the Bruti Mountains, and finally came to Tury. He had a deep hatred of the Bruti, but he was very tolerant. ; Finally, this entourage who has not fallen asleep was recommended by Mariji to Anta Oris. He said that he was from the Ministry of Military Affairs. Considering that in case of war with the Bruti in the future, it is necessary to understand the internal situation of the Bruti area. , In fact, he is a prospective citizen of Dionia, named Antrapolis, the younger brother of Daves’ personal intelligence officer Alistairs.
Since Izam’s reconnaissance team followed Daves to Tarantum, Antrapolis is indeed fulfilling his reconnaissance duties in this regard. At this moment, he is trying to remember everything he saw during the day in his mind. : Approximate time spent on the road from Turri to Bisignia, the degree of difficulty of the road, the location and firmness of Bisignia, the approximate number of population and soldiers in the city, and how many people can be judged by talking The character of the leader of Bisignia...wait. Antrapolis remembered them over and over again, until they were clearly engraved in his mind, and there were still some fuzzy places that he needed to confirm the next day.
When this matter was finished, Antrapolis turned his gaze to Anta Auris who was sleeping on the opposite side—this was another object of his task. He will closely monitor and observe the performance of the newly joined Crimea Senate in the next mission to Cosenza.
It’s not the first time Antrapolis has done such a thing. At the beginning, he was a little bit resistant. He told his brother Aristilas: The former tyrant of Syracuse, Hieron, used to The establishment of a spy system to monitor the private lives of city-state citizens has a bad reputation. He doesn't want the Daves they depend on to become that kind of person.
However, Aris Tiras persuaded him: Sieron's reputation is not good, mainly because he is too authoritarian, excessively jealous and oppressive of the citizens, so popular grievances are boiling. As a lifelong consul with a broad-minded and calm mind, Daves knows how to protect the freedom of the people and should not make such mistakes. Moreover, he has outstanding ability. The rapid rise of the Alliance of Dionia has explained everything. The brothers are optimistic about fighting Syracuse and rebuilding Katane's best commander. Therefore, to consolidate his leadership and prevent people with ulterior motives from causing chaos, has become one of Aristras' important responsibilities.
After being persuaded by his elder brother, Antrapolis followed and investigated the movements of many senators in the Senate. It should be said that the vast majority of the elders support and agree with Daves' life-long consul status. Although Pollux and a very small number of people are dissatisfied with Daves, they just stay verbally and have nothing specific. action. As for Antaolis, he was the head of the three people who entered the Senate by Crimea. After coming to Turei, apart from attending the Senate meeting, he stayed in a deep place on weekdays, and had little contact with other elders. Si was very curious. This time the envoy was a good opportunity to learn about the Crimesa native, and it also provided reference for Daves to use and appoint high-level officials in the future. At least from the current performance, Anta Auris is a nobleman in Crimea, but he can endure hardship and has courage. Antrapolis is looking forward to his next performance.
In the afternoon of the next day, a messenger came from Cosenza, and Antaolis and his party were allowed to enter Cosenza.
Bajilippi also sent ten soldiers, known as "escorting" Dionian envoys to Cosenza.
The group of people left the city and started to move westward along the mountain road. They were stopped shortly after they had gone far.
Kanaru, riding a horse, appeared in front of them and said triumphantly: "Greeks, I have not entertained you yet, do you want to leave like this!"
Anta Auris and the others are nervous.
At this time, the Bruti soldier in charge of the **** stepped forward to persuade Kanaru, but he sent his men to stop him: "Don't worry, I won't let you go back and be unable to explain it."
After he made the promise, his face was darkened, and his eyes showed a fierce look: "Give me five lashes! Let them know that the Greeks don’t pay a price, it’s not so easy to pass my Bisini. Yacheng!"
After he finished speaking, Anta Auris and the others had no time to react, they were swarmed by the Bruti fighters and fell to the ground.
Each of them was beaten five times, and all of them were ripped apart. AdPigis was irritated and yelled in Bruti.
Kanaru listened, but laughed loudly and shouted: "Beat me three more lashes!"
Adepiguis still wants to scold, Anta Oris whispered: "Adpiguis, don't forget what we are here for!"
Adepijis was shocked when he heard the words and slowly lowered his head.
Kanaru was quite boring when he saw that the Greeks had no reaction. He didn't dare to do too much so as not to get his father's anger, and shouted: "Timid Greek, go." Shaking the horse's rein, along the road, gallop eastward.
The four Anta Auris supported each other and moved forward with difficulty.
Although the terrain is getting higher and higher, the road is no longer rugged and difficult. The rolling peaks gradually retreat to the sides. The front is gently undulating grass. The dense layers of flexible grass are dotted with colorful wildflowers, like a vast expanse. The boundless, colorful carpet stretches far away...a herds of cattle, sheep, and horses graze quietly on the slopes, or raise their hooves, run and play, dotted with thatched cottages in between, some have already Smoke rises.
People saw more and more people on the road. They drove cattle and sheep, carried goods, appeared in various places on the slope, and moved in the same direction.
In the evening, Anta Auris saw a huge black shadow standing in front of him by the moonlight, and he knew that Cosenza had arrived.
Since the time to enter the city has passed, Anta Auris and his party can only spend the night outside the city in a tent.
Early the next morning, the escorted Bruti soldiers immediately notified the city.
Soon, Anta Auris and his party were welcomed by the guards sent by the Horde Alliance and were invited to enter the city of Cosenza.
After having breakfast, Anta Auris was taken to the meeting hall of Cosenza, which is much more magnificent than the thatched house in Signia.
There is one person sitting in the middle, and three people on each side. The central seat is obviously higher. It seems that the priority has been separated.
Anta Auris thought about the news about the tribes of Bruti forming a tribal alliance under the leadership of Cosenza, and bowed respectfully: "Dear leaders, I’m Dioni. Anta Auris, the messenger of Asia, brought greetings from the Dionian Senate!"
Before Adepijis’ translation, the man among them said in Greek: “Emissary of Dionia, welcome to Cosenza, the center of the Bruti Tribal Alliance. I’m the entire Tribal Alliance. Pi Anlun, the leader of China."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person closest to his left side stood up and asked in Greek: "Bruti and Dionia have never been in contact. I don't know why the messenger is here this time?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone else in the conference hall focused on Anta Auris.
Anta Auris did not expect that as soon as they met, the Bruti people put the question on the table. He did not answer immediately, and turned around and asked: "May I ask you?"
"Sedorum, the great leader of Vig City, is also the elder of the Horde Alliance." Sedorum is the only one of several great leaders who has an intersection with Dionia. A year ago, when the Lucania Alliance attacked Turri, he led the tribe to attack the camp of the former mercenary leader and now Dionian Archon Daves. Later, Daves designed to encircle Lucani. The Asian coalition forces allowed Sedorum to seize the opportunity to rebel against the Lucania Alliance. Later, due to Vig City’s proximity to Laos, the turmoil in Laos, Avinojis’s power, and Laos joined Dai The League of Onia...a series of events happened one after another like a revolving lantern, and he knew something about it. Therefore, although he has not met Davos, nor has he dealt with Dionia directly, he is wary of Davos and Dionia. So when he learned that the envoys of Dionia had arrived, Sedorum warned others to be cautious, because Dionia's strength has clearly surpassed Bruti.
