Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

These guys are so daring, do they want to riot?! After a night's rest, Petaru had recovered his spirits, and he angrily asked Pian Lun for orders: Boss, I will take a thousand soldiers to take them first. Bring it back!

Pian Lun's wrinkled forehead formed deep ravines, he shook his head, loosened his clenched fists, turned to look at High Priest Philotaru, and said in a deep voice, High Priest, I have to invite you to a visit. Go... ask them what they want and try to stabilize them as much as possible.

Big Chief! Petaru hurriedly shouted: Don't be weak to these guys! Otherwise... otherwise they will get out of our control, and may even... threaten the security of Cosenza City!

Because there are only Pianren, Petaru, and Filotaru in the conference hall, so Pianren has no taboos when he speaks. Tone: The failure of this battle is all my responsibility! I... I shouldn't fight the Dionysians with a fluke mentality. I thought that even if we couldn't win, with our familiarity with the terrain, the soldiers With lighter equipment than the Greeks, it is also easier to leave the battlefield and return to the city to fully defend against the enemy's siege... sigh... I didn't expect... I didn't expect a battle to make us lose so much. Dionia is really different from other Greek city-states such as Crotone! I'm sorry for the people!  …”

Big Chief, this is not your fault alone. The decisive battle with Dionia is a collective decision of the Presbyterian Church. Petaru comforted his father-in-law, he hesitated for a moment, and whispered, Why not... we Make peace with Dionia?

As soon as these words came out, Pian Lun and Filotaru were stunned.

Under such circumstances, will Dionia agree to a truce with us? Filotaru doubted this.

No! You can give it a try! Pianlon's eyes lit up, inspired by Petaro's words, he thought more: Petaru, you sent messengers to Dionysian camp, with their One of the consuls said, 'Cosenza would like to be an ally of Dionysus, like Laos.' If the peace can come, Cosenza will be temporarily affiliated with Dionia, which will allow the captured warriors There is still time to slowly restore our strength. If not, negotiate with them patiently. As far as I know, the Archon of Dionia was not a very tyrannical person, so he forgave Ka Stron, Crotone, then why can't the ropes around Cosenza's neck be loosened! At least let us buy some time to deal with those people in the outer city, Cosenza can't stand it anymore There's a riot!

…………………………

Cosenza's messenger rushed to the Dionysian camp, and Davos immediately pointed out after hearing about his intention: Cosenza can only be fully incorporated into the Dionysian Alliance, and there is no other way to go!

He categorically refused the envoy's request to discuss in detail, how could he give Cosenza a chance to breathe when he had an absolute advantage.

On the third day after the battle, Dionysus marched westward. The cavalry spread out for six or seven miles to investigate the surrounding movement; the first army was the forward, and the second army was on both sides of the middle of the team, flanking the baggage battalion, medical battalion, and engineering battalion in the middle... Under the supervision of Dionysian soldiers, the half-full and half-starved Brutians carried supplies, pushed carts, and tended to livestock; the Legion Reserve and the Allies served as the rear guard...

The entire marching team is mighty, even on the vast and boundless plateau, it is still impossible to see the end.

Three hours later, Davos saw the big city standing in front of him - Cosenza.

At this time, the cavalry captain Ryders rushed from the front of the team excitedly: Lord Commander, the Fourth Legion is coming to us!

That's great! Davos was overjoyed, and excitedly grabbed the horse's belly, and the war horse spread its hooves and ran forward. The escort followed closely, and then the cavalry gathered around to prevent accidents.

The fourth legion commander, Hiros, who got the news, also came from the south on horseback. When he saw Davos, he immediately restrained his horse and saluted: Sir Commander, the fourth legion has captured Knapetia and was ordered to arrive here. !

It's hard work! Davos returned the salute solemnly. The Hiros in front of him was not the ordinary mercenary when he first met in Persia. The long-term commanding of the army and handling of government affairs made him more majestic, but less dignified. Humbly, he is already a qualified commander of the Dionian Legion.

My lord, I am late. The defense of Knapetia City is very tenacious. It not only dragged our Fourth Army for a long time, but also cost us the lives of more than 700 brothers! Hiros looked a little sad, he The gentleness in his bones has not changed much.

My strategic plan is the main reason why the Fourth Legion took Knapetia so late, not you. The sacrifice of the soldiers was worth it, because you really took a frontal attack. A well-defended city will be the most valuable asset of Dionysian military! Davos encouraged him and said, Also, the Fourth Legion is coming at just the right time!

After speaking, he pointed forward in high spirits: Go, take me to see the warriors of the Fourth Army!

Davos and Hiros galloped forward first, followed by two hundred escorts wearing red cloaks (including one hundred warriors from Bisinia).

Rodom, clutching the reins in one hand and holding high the glorious banner that Martius had given him, galloped by the side of the marching column of the Fourth Legion after Davos Horse.

I saw that the soldiers of Dionia's Fourth Legion who were in front stopped, stopped talking, and looked at their supreme commander with burning eyes. Davos looked solemn at the moment, raised his right arm above his head, stretched forward, and saluted.

Immediately, the soldiers cheered like thunder: Dionysius is victorious!!!

Davers Victory!!!

...

This situation made Rodom's blood boil, and at the same time made him envious. He deeply felt: It was so boring to live in obscurity in the mountains in the past! A man should gallop on the battlefield like a commander!

Listen, that's the babbling of the 4th Legion recruits. I heard they're coming from Trina, and it looks like they've taken Knapetia, no wonder they're so spirited. If we hadn't defeated The main force of Bruti, how could they break the city so easily! These little guys are still far behind! These few days, let them know that in the Dionysian army, we are still the strongest in the First Army!  … The soldiers of the First Corps looked at the cheers of the Fourth Corps with the attitude of veterans.

On the top of the city, the Brutite warriors watched the scene outside the city in horror: the long dragon from the northeast and the long dragon from the southwest gathered together, giving out a thunderous cheer, The momentum is so majestic!

Pian Lun's face was solemn. Yesterday, he received the news of Knapetia has fallen, and he specially blocked it. I didn't expect that the Dionysians would do such a thing outside the city. Look at the soldiers The expression on his face, he knew how much it hit them.

At this moment, Targary's voice came from behind him: The Dionysians are so powerful, our number is too small! Cosenza City is too big, and it is impossible to achieve a comprehensive defense. Surrender!

When Petaru heard this, his face turned ashen, and he wished he could beat the old guy, but he still held back. Yesterday, under the mediation of High Priest Philotaru, Pian Lun, he and Tagli and the others reached a reconciliation: the Bruti Tribal Alliance will return Tagli and the original tribes of their tribal leaders, and they shall not be deprived of it. and interfered with their rights, and they finally agreed to fight the Dionians in Cosenza with Pianlon.

There is only one issue that is still being debated, and the Targary and the others demand: the abolition of the Presbyterian Church and the delegation of power to handle the affairs of the Alliance to the Federation of Tribal Chiefs.

For Pianlon, agreeing to their request meant that the highly centralized Brutian tribal alliance he had been striving for would become a loose tribal union, which he could not tolerate. He postponed this important issue on the grounds that Bergam is absent, Sedorum is missing, which caused dissatisfaction among other tribal leaders, and now the two sides are at odds with each other.

In the face of Dionysian army pressing the city, the situation in Cosenza City is like this again, how to resist the enemy's attack? Pian Lun is also worried.

Fortunately, Davos did not order the siege of the city, but started to build a camp. With the absolute advantage of 30,000 troops, he directly ordered the construction to start a mile away from the city, ready to besiege Cosenza.

The captives were taken to dig trenches, the First, Second, Fourth Corps, Legion Reserves, Allied armies... Davos had enough labor to build a huge barracks, and enough manpower to keep watch.

Just as Davos rode his horse and was about to make a detailed investigation around Cosenza City, Capps came to report: Sedorum asked to see him.

………………………………

Have you made up your mind? Let Vig join Dionia? Davos suppressed the joy in his heart and looked at Sedorum with a calm expression.

Yes, the consul of Dionia. After seeing the arrival of Dionia's Fourth Legion, Sedorum immediately realized that what Davos had told him before was the truth, Dionysus said. Asia does have a strong siege ability. So he finally stopped tangled, made up his mind, and relieved the troubles for many days. At this time, he felt much more relaxed.

Davos looked at the older Bruty leader who had not seen him for a few days, and asked slowly, So what are you going to do?
