Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Since Potentia joined the Dionysian Alliance, Potentia's situation has been greatly improved at once, and the south that should have been guarded has instead become its rear. There were trade exchanges between Kersis, and the subordinate city of Poseidonia followed, and the sea trade volume with the southern Italian city-state increased year by year. The life of the Potentians improved, and the treasury of Potentia became more abundant, which made Puamote feel relieved every time he thought of this: Joining the Dionysian League was the most correct thing to do. a decision!

Of course, the frequent exchanges between Potentia and Dionia were naturally influenced by some Dionysian culture. For example, Potentians also began to like the sport of rugby. At the same time as the demi-humans worshiped the god of Mount Asinus, they also began to pray to Hades, the patron saint of Dionia. The priests of Potentia reported this issue to Puamote many times, and he also Very helpless.

He has understood: this is the spontaneous behavior of the tribesmen, and the Dionysians did not deliberately guide them, but when the tribesmen frequently contact with Grummentum's compatriots, they will feel that the gods of Mount Asinu are in the mud The crude statue of the gods cannot be compared with the majestic bronze statues of Hades in Greece, and I heard that the Temple of Hades in Turii is even more magnificent, so how can they not be in awe and begin to change their beliefs? ! What's more, Hades still has so many fascinating stories (from the God of the Underworld compiled by Plessinas and the others, many of which are very different from the original legends)...

Puamote felt that the cultural influence of Dionia on the Potentians was not a bad thing, because he himself was enjoying the elegant culture of Dionia, just like the lunch he ate just now, came from the Dionysian culture. Oniya's food - mutton, he thinks it is much better than the roasted and boiled mutton he has eaten before, so he is eating too much now, and he is comfortably feeling his full stomach, ready to take Walking in the yard with the hound, trying to digest it through exercise.

At this time, his servants came in and reported: Chief Shahidat asked to see him.

Let him in. Puamot said with a frown, and he felt a little uneasy: the tribe of Shasidat was in the north of Potentia, adjacent to Kopsa, which is adjacent to Samone. It can be said that Potentia resisted Sa Monet's forefront, so Chasidat rarely left the territory and came to the city of Potentia.

Is there any movement in the Samonais? Puamot was thinking about it worriedly, when Shasidat strode into the backyard, and when he saw him, he shouted eagerly: The big boss is not good! The Samonais are going to attack us in large numbers Tentia!

What?! Puamote immediately became nervous and asked anxiously, What happened?!

A few days ago, my clansmen observed that many Samonais entered Kopsa, and the city of Kopsa became very lively. They thought they were doing sacrifices or celebrations, but they also raised our vigilance. In a few days, thousands of Samonei people suddenly poured in from the north of Kopsa. They were fully armed and built several camps near Kopsa... Chief, the situation is not good! Look at this fortunately, Samo I am afraid that the Nai people are going to attack our Potentia in a big way! Sasidat said anxiously.

Thousands? How many of them are there?! Puamote was a little flustered, but he still tried his best to calm down and figure out the situation first.

Well...about...at least 20,000 people! The Samones have blocked the area around Kopsa, and my spies can't get in at all! Sasidat also felt that his words were too vague, so he explained again : But we found that among the flags of the Samonais not only the flag of Hirpini, but also the flags of Pentri and Caudini!

Puamote was really taken aback and said anxiously, Could it be that the four major tribes of Samona are all concentrated in Kopsa?!

The flag of Caraceni has not been found yet. Shasidat said anxiously: Big Chief,

You must send a large army to support me immediately! I think the Samonais may launch an attack within a few days, and only my few hundred soldiers can't stop it!

Before dealing with just one Shirpini, it was already very difficult for us Potentia! According to what you said, there are at least three Samonai tribes here, and even if I send all reinforcements, it is impossible to repel them. Instead, they will be taken by the Samonais to destroy our main force in the wild, weakening the defense of Potentia City! Sigh... Puamote frowned with worry.

The Lucanians have many tribes, and the tribes unite with each other, and eventually form several large tribal unions, Potentia, Grummentum, Picocis, Galaguso, Niu Toum, these tribes united for their own interests, united with each other, fought with each other, and continued to conflict. It was not until the appearance of Dionia that peace was restored in the Lucania region.

The Samonais are different from the Lucanians. Samonai - this race occupying the mountains in central Italy, although it is divided into four major tribes, Shilpini, Pentene, Cautini, and Caracheni, not only are each tribe relatively united, but also among the tribes. The relationship is also harmonious and there are few fights. Every tribe has a big leader, who is jointly elected by each tribe. Unless public anger is aroused, it is rare to be ousted in the middle. Served as the grand leader until his death. Unlike the big chief of Lucania, the power of the chief of the Samonai tribe is much greater. Regardless of whether the tribes live in the mountains or valleys, no matter how far apart they are, they must be involved in military, diplomatic and other major matters. Obey the chief's orders. From this point of view, the four major tribes of Samone are more like four kingdoms, rather than the tribal union of Lucania and Bruti. The races of the barren hills made the surrounding Latins, Greeks, and Lucarians fear.

Originally, Potentia faced only the Shirpini, the largest of the four Samonite tribes. It was located in the southern part of the mountainous area occupied by the Samonai, bordering Potentia, and now it comes again. After two tribes, how could Puamot not be nervous, he paced back and forth anxiously in the yard, and finally he made a decision: Shasidat, you go back immediately and prepare your tribe , first quietly transport some supplies to the city, once you find that the Samonais have launched an attack, don't take the risk to resist, and lead your people to retreat to the city... And I will immediately notify the other tribes and do a good job Same preparation.

This... this... Chief, are we throwing the land outside the city to those goddamn 'pheasants' to trample (Samoni warriors like to have pheasant feathers on the top and sides of their helmets, As a distinction of warrior level, it has this nickname)?! It is bearable to have farmland, pastures, and houses burned. The tribe of Shasidat was often invaded by the Samonais in the past, and the whole tribe has become accustomed to the east and west. He didn't think much of it when he was hiding in Tibet, but he still said worriedly: In case Potentia city is besieged by the Samonites for a long time, and so many people are in the city, our food won't last long. time!

It won't be long before Dionia's army will come to support us. Don't forget, we Portentia are a member of the Dionysian League! Puamote has never been so fortunate as today. He had made the decision to join the Dionysian League.

Yes! Yes! Dionia! Dionia will come to save us! Sassidat kept nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, obviously confident in this powerful ally in the south of Potentia. Know that in the more than three years since Potentia joined the Dionysian League, his tribal lands have never been invaded by the Samonites.

Watching Shasidat leave in a hurry, Puamote's face became even more gloomy. He had heard about Dionia's declaration of war on Lokri, and Potentia asked Dionia for help at this time. , will Dionia come to aid in time?

…………………………

Alexis walked into the city hall of Grummentum, where the chief executive Bagul was already waiting: Commander of the Alexis Legion! Bagul was wearing Burton, but gave a military salute.

Lord Bagule! Alexis, who was dressed in military uniform, raised his hand to greet the elders.

Sir, don't make fun of me, I wish I could immediately take off this robe, put on my armor, and be a team officer under your command! Bagule said with a helpless smile.

At the beginning, Bagule was the first captain of the Third Army Corps and the administrator of Grummentum. It was just an expedient measure to stabilize the situation in Lucania after the occupation of the Grummentum area. . Neither the Senate nor Davos would allow the highest administrative and military authority in a region (Heronimus, the commander of the Third Army at that time, was in Turii, and the position of the first commander was in the Lucania region. is the highest military post) concentrated in one person, so after Dionysus had acquired Picocis and ruled in Lucania had prevailed, the senate proposed that Bagule should be relieved of a post.

Considering that Grummentum is located in the center of the Lucania region, consolidating Dionia's rule over it can completely stabilize the entire Lucania, so Davos temporarily removed his position in the legion , For this reason, he also persuaded him for several days.

Now Alexis heard what he meant and immediately asked, What? What's the matter?!
