"As long as we can defeat Cosenza, we are willing to do anything!" Hegecitus said decisively with a radiant expression on his face.

The news of Dionia's declaration of war on the Bruti quickly spread throughout Great Greece, and Castellon immediately sent people to the Dionian Senate and expressed his willingness to send one thousand light and heavy infantry and fifty soldiers. The cavalry joined the battle.
Laos also sent people to actively express: to send 3,000 light and heavy infantry to the battle.
Even Heraclea, who had just joined the League of Dionia, was not to be outdone: willing to send 500 infantry and a hundred cavalry to the battle.
Davos readily accepts that although the number and combat effectiveness of these troops are far from comparable to the four armies of Dionian, the participation of allies in the war shows the solidarity of the League of Dionian, and Only by fighting side by side can we deepen our friendship with allied city-states, and gradually influence and assimilate their military systems.
Although the Tarantum Senate knew in advance that there was a conflict between Dionia and the Bruti (from Tormid’s leak), when news of the outbreak of the war came, everyone They are all in a complicated mood: if Dionia wins, the gap between Tarantum and Dioria will only be even greater; but if Dionia loses a lot, the Mesapi and Puchetti who have just signed the peace treaty Maybe there will be new ideas. Tarantum’s manpower and material resources are now devoted to the recovery of the war-torn Tarantum Territory. It is really unable to assist Dionia. But not long ago, Dionia had just fulfilled the covenant and rescued. Tarantum was in distress, and Tarantum had to express it.
So, the Tarantum Senate sent the envoy Polydurus to Turei and politely asked Daves: "What can you do for Tarantum's help?"
Daves certainly saw Polydorus’s embarrassment. He immediately thanked Tarantum for his concern, and said politely: "Dionia does not need Tarantum's help for the time being."
But Daves' politeness showed self-confidence, which made Polytorus feel a little guilty while exhaling.

The feelings of the people in Crotone are equally complicated, and most people even hope that the war launched by Dionia will be defeated. However, Siritin, Trina, and Corenia have all sent envoys, Crotone Of course, they have to behave, after all, they belong to the South Italian League.
The Dionian Senate politely declined their expectation of joining the war on the grounds that these city-states had just gone through the war and needed to be guarded against Lockley. At the same time, he made his own request: I hope they can provide some rations and allow Dionian's army to pass through their territory and wait for an opportunity to attack Bruti from Trina's side.
Crottone and other city-state envoys immediately agreed.
The Siritian envoy even boasted that the city-state was willing to provide free food for the Dionian army attacking from Trina until the end of the war.
The messenger of Trina, who spoke very little when we met, actually understood very well in his heart: The Dionian Senate had a secret agreement with Cypros for a joint attack on Knapetia! Coming with the other messengers this time was just a humiliation.

"Father, it seems that the Vigs are right, Dionia has really declared war like the Bruti! We--" Gnanet said excitedly.
Sincinnag sneered and interrupted his son's words: "What are we?...Declare war on Dionian too?! We have enemies with the Dionian, but don't forget the Sedorum. Didn't the old **** slaughter our people! If it weren't for Elia, the Vig envoy would never get out of Picosis!" Sinsingnag said with hatred.
Since the loss of Grumentum, the power of the Dionians entered the central area of Lucania. The independent small tribes of Lucania, like flies and shit, have continued to take refuge. Dionian. Although the Dionians have not taken further action in Grumentum, they have already made the Picsis feel the pressure, even though the envoy of Picsis came to Turei and brought back Dionia. The consul's promise of peace, but how can Sinsing Nagar, who has always been cunning, easily believe that thin piece of sandpaper!
Especially when the news came that the Eliyas announced that they had joined the League of Dionians, it was like Hong Zhongguo Drum caused a huge sensation in Picosis, which means that the Picosis are not only afraid to be like In the past, Elia was regarded as fat and looted in his territory every year, and the city of Picosis has been surrounded by Dionia and its allies since then. I believe Potentia can feel it too. Dangerous, so when the messenger of Bruti arrived, under his matchmaking bridge, the two tribal towns of Lucania, which had just forged an enmity for a short time, finally decided to unite and fight against Dionia in order to survive.
"We can't worry now, we have to wait patiently!" Sinsinag said to his son.
"When will you wait?"
"Wait until both Dionia and Bruti are exhausted from fighting! Wait for Potentia to take the lead!" Cincinnag's narrow eyes flashed with cold.
………………………
In the conference hall where the Kesheng bombing, the chief leaders of the Bruti tribal alliance are urgently discussing the news from the spies.
"Yesterday, Daves had led what they said about the First Army and Second Army, out of the city of Turri, and marching westward. It seems that they are preparing to pass through the mountains to Laos... in Azerbaijan. Sprustum’s...well, the Fourth Army is also starting to move south...Everyone, the attack of the Dionians is coming!" Pi Anlun said solemnly.
"It came just right! We have made careful preparations to let these arrogant Dionians taste the power of our Bruti!" Nikuru waved his fist excitedly.
"It seems that the focus of Dionia’s offensive is on Vig! Because their consul Daves personally led the first and second legions, plus Niutum’s third legion, and Laos The number of soldiers in Sri Lanka’s army may be as high as 20,000! Although Wig City has strengthened its defenses, it has built several defensive camps on the mountain road... However, the number of soldiers is only 4,000 at most, I am afraid it is very It's hard to withstand the attack of so many Dionian soldiers!" Sedorum said with a gloomy expression looking at the others.
"Sedorum, you coward! You started to be afraid before the war started!" Nikuru mocked.
"The Dionians attack Vig with all their strength. It is normal that Vig City alone cannot stop the attack. Just like the Fourth Army of Dionians going south, it must be from Trina City. Attacking north, coupled with Trina’s troops, the number of soldiers is probably more than 10,000. Knapetia has only two thousand soldiers, and you must have your reinforcements before Krapetia can defend!" Defend for Sedorum, but also for himself.
Sedorum nodded to him gratefully.
"Bruti is now a unified tribal alliance. But as soon as we were unified, we encountered a powerful enemy. This is the test of the Goddess Amara and Brutus! Under the blessing of the gods, We must unite closely and defeat the enemy in order to mold the future glory of our Bruti people!" High Priest Philotaru said solemnly. The Brutis pretend that they are the descendants of Brutus, and Brutus is the son of the Hercules Hercules and the Bruti Queen Valentia, the legendary ancient hero of Brutus , Demigod, the protector of the Bruti tribe.
"The high priest is right!" Pi Anlun looked around, and said: "I will lead ten thousand Cosenza fighters to reinforce Vig with Petaru!"
Ten thousand fighters are almost all of Cosenza's forces, so Sedorum hurriedly saluted and said gratefully: "Thank you for the full help of the chief!"
"This is what I should do. We are all comrades in the same alliance now. Vig City cannot be defended. Can Cosenza be saved?! Cosenza is occupied, Bisignia, An What's the way out for Baria?!" Pi Anlun said this as if he was comforting Sedorum, but he was actually reminding Bogam and Nikulu.
"Ambalia only has a narrow valley in the southeast leading to Asprostum. The Dionians are afraid to attack from here, because once discovered, our soldiers don’t need to fight. Just standing on the top of the valley and throwing stones down will be enough to cause heavy casualties. Therefore, I am willing to lead 3,000 soldiers to reinforce Knapetia!" Burgam said immediately.
Nicuru was not far behind, and said loudly: "The situation in Bisignia is similar to that of Ambalia. With mountains as a barrier and a big river blocking it, the Dionians cannot enter my territory at all. I am willing. Bring two thousand fighters to help Panguelu fight back the Dionians!"
Panghelu also expressed his gratitude to the two leaders.
"Brutus is on, we should be like this, we should be like this! As long as we Brutus work together, no amount of Greeks can beat us!" Philotaru whispered to God Name, and even praised it with comfort.
"Although Ambalia and Bisignia have a geographical advantage, they must always be vigilant to prevent the Dionians from attacking! You know, Dionian's consul is very cunning. People, Crotone was defeated by his tricks twice, and Niutum and Grumentum were also lost in a sneak attack by his army!" Pi Anlun solemnly warned the two big leaders, hoping they would cause them Pay attention and strengthen guard.
"Don't worry, we have sentries on every mountaintop in the valley. As long as the Dionians are out, we will know about them." Bogam said seriously.
"Turiyi’s riverbank trail leading to Bisignia was blocked long ago by the strong defensive camp built by our Bisignians. If the Dionians first came to attack, they would only be wiped out by us! "Nikuru has a confident look on his face.
