Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Quick! Go and call Gellney, and immediately bring someone to put out the fire! Veroney urgently called the guards to inform his son.

As soon as the guards left, he realized that he was in a hurry, and he hurriedly asked the captain of the guards beside him to lead the guards to put out the fire immediately.

Chief, what about your safety? The captain of the guard was a little embarrassed: tonight the camp is so unsettled, they are gone, who will protect the chief?

If the food is gone, the whole army is in danger. What's the use of my safety!! Veroni stomped his feet anxiously.

The Guards had no choice but to rush to the fire in a hurry.

However, there are more than 25,000 troops in the entire army, and the camp stretches for seven or eight miles. The camp is full of people and the roads are congested.

Not only did the Guards advance slowly, but because of their eagerness to move forward, they annoyed the already panic-stricken soldiers and caused a fight, and this conflict was gradually expanding...

At this time, it was early winter, and the weather was dry. In addition, the Dionysian scouts who sneaked into the camp deliberately set fire to the fire. The fire spread rapidly due to the wind, burning the entire baggage camp, and continued to expand around. The surrounding wooden fences and tents...

Veroni looked at the back of the fire, and a heart completely fell to the bottom of his heart.

Done! Done! ! ... He looked sluggish, slumped on the cold ground.

But that night was destined to be his nightmare.

Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The Potentians couldn't do the same as the Dionysian Legion with hundreds of soldiers entering the enemy camp silently, but Polet's courage and persuasion made Puamote finally make up his mind and send out 5,000 soldiers. They split into five groups and quietly descended the mountain, hiding in various places outside Samonay's forward camp.

As soon as he saw the fire, Polert couldn't wait for the horns to be blown, and then trumpets sounded everywhere. The Potentian warriors, with revengeful anger, bypassed the deer village, climbed over the trench, climbed over the dirt wall, Mucha, at this time, the Samona camp was already in a panic, and it attracted attention because of the fire. The lack of defense around the camp made it easier for the Potentians to enter the camp, so they all became addicted The bloody wolves slashed when they saw a figure, stabbed when they heard a sound, and the sound of fighting and screams echoed throughout the camp...

It made the terrified Samonais even more terrified. In the dark night when they could not see their fingers, for their own safety, they all held their weapons tightly. As long as anyone approached, they would slash and stab at random, and the camp was in chaos.

In such a chaotic situation,

The Dionian scouts who had sneaked into the camp for a long time shouted in the Samonai language they had learned: The Dionysian army is coming! They want to destroy us, run quickly!!...

The fear in the dark night was infinitely magnified, and finally overwhelmed the fighting spirit of the Samonai warriors. Like the flood of Jueti, they desperately fled outside the camp. For this reason, they can push down their comrades who are irrational, they can cut down their comrades who are blocking their progress, they can trample the moaning clansmen on the ground, and the night has become their accomplice to each other...

…………………………

Poamot, who had been worrying about the war all night, had been standing on the city wall and watching. He heard the commotion in the Samonay camp, saw the fire that illuminated half of the sky in the distance, and heard the terrifying fighting and screams... ... This scene continued until late at night, and then gradually disappeared without a sound...

The spy who went to the bottom of the mountain to listen to the news came back and shouted excitedly: The enemy has been repelled! The enemy has been repelled!... Suddenly the whole city turned into a sea of ​​joy.

Puamote was relieved, the only thing he was worried about was the fire that was burning more and more, but because the situation in the dark night was unknown, he did not dare to send someone to put out the fire rashly.

Who knew that even the gods were caring for Potentia that night, and in the second half of the night, it started to rain.

Puamote was completely relieved, and finally slept until dawn under the constant drowsiness.

He hurried to the head of the city. Along the way, he saw smiles on the originally lifeless faces of the tribesmen. They gathered together in twos and threes, excitedly talking about the war last night, thanking Asinu for his blessing, and there are still people from time to time. Ask Puamt: When can I move back to my old settlement?

Poamot stood on the top of the city and looked down: The Samonay camp, which once stretched for ten miles and had countless military tents, had basically become a black field, and clusters of blue smoke shrouded this area. Let Puamote not really see it...

Polette and the others came back? Puamote asked Waller, the tribal leader who was on duty today, with concern.

It didn't come back, but he sent someone back and said, 'They're going to clean up the battlefield, and they won't be back until later.'

Paulette is fine! Poamot thought happily.

…………………………

What Polert said about cleaning up the battlefield is not that simple. Looking up close to the Samonay camp, under the ashes of the burning fire and in the mud caused by the heavy rain, the bodies of both the enemy and the enemy lay everywhere, some dead, even burnt to black, and some dead. Seriously injured, unconscious, and some are still struggling and moaning...

Last night, the Potentian warriors led by Bruti suffered heavy losses in the chaotic battle due to their lack of experience in night raids, with nearly 2,000 casualties. After the fierce battle, regardless of their fatigue, they summoned more people from the city to carry the wounded and corpses back to the city, and at the same time began to clean the battlefield on the ruins within a radius of ten miles.

Put a few knives on the struggling Samonais to confirm their death, and at the same time find their own people mixed in the enemy's corpse... Potentian warriors are in danger in the process of searching, Some Samonei warriors who were not seriously injured disguised themselves as corpses and attacked when they approached. After many such raids, the Potentian warriors were also more cautious, armed with spears, and seeing a corpse, as long as it was not their own, they would stab them a few times first.

Such a vast area cannot be cleaned up in a short time. Behind these warriors, the members of the Dionysian Reconnaissance Brigade carefully counted the casualties of the Samonais according to the divided areas.

In the afternoon, the cleaning work came to an end. The Samonites killed 5,493 people, with no wounded, because even if they survived last night's chaos, the angry Potentian warriors would have killed them mercilessly as they swept the field. The rest of the Samonites fled, scattered over the area around Potentia. When the Samonites invaded before, they wiped out the area around the city of Potentia. Now the hungry Samonites will swallow the bitter fruit of their brewing. How to escape the pursuit of Potentians and hold back their hunger? Injury and safe return to their hometown have become a big problem for them.

The Potentians made great sacrifices and, with the full help of the Dionysians, finally defeated the mighty Samonais. While they were happy for the rest of their lives after the disaster, they unexpectedly had a big surprise buried in the huge Samonai corpse pit. Tentia's commander-in-chief, Veroni, last night he sent the Guards next to him to maintain order and put out the fire. As a result, Paulette led the army to attack the camp, and the Samonais were in turmoil because of panic, leaving them alone. The lonely and somewhat old Veronica died in the chaos of the army...

…………………………

In the early morning of this day, in the Temple of Hades in Turui, Caldias, the Sirius, got up early as usual and walked into the main hall of the temple.

He entered the other side of hell, and after staying here for a long time, those terrifying images of hell punishment and the ferocious statue of Hades had little effect on him. He respectfully held an oil lamp and came to the seat of Hades, the king of the underworld. The perennial lamp on the oil basin in front of the statue was beating with a bluish-red fire. Added a bit of gloom.

Cardias looked calm, lit the oil lamp in his hand with his feet on his hands, and then knelt down in front of the statue of Hades, with his eyes slightly closed, his palms facing upwards, and spread flat on the ground, praying sincerely to Hades, hoping that he can bless him The people of Sirius are safe.

When he heard that the Syracuses had landed in Locri, he was anxious to return to the Sirius, but was persuaded by Plessinas.

Plessinas told him that even if he returned to the Sirius, he would only be an ordinary citizen soldier added to the city-state. But here, he can pray day and night to this powerful and powerful hell king to get the help of this god.

Cardias thought the chief priest was right, so he stayed in Turii. At this moment, he placed the oil lamp representing his wish on the offering table. Since it was too early, the temple had not yet opened, so there was only one solitary lamp on the offering table. But at night, the table and the floor are full of oil lamps, and every time they clean up late.

Cardias, you are so sincere! I believe Hades will respond to you! A voice came from behind.

Cardias hurriedly turned around and saluted: Good morning, Plessinas.

The Temple of Hades is now basically popular in the cities in the Dionysian territory. It has priests, priests, saints, believers... There are many people responsible for managing the temple, and there are also high and low positions among them. However, in terms of mutual appellation, it is stipulated in the Canon of Hades that they can only be called by their real names to demonstrate the concept of equal view of all believers in the Temple of Hades.

According to the latest battle report obtained by the Senate, the Fourth and Fifth Dionysian Legions repelled an attack by the Syracuse army at Coulonia, and took several hundred prisoners. These prisoners are now being sent On the way to Turii, so you don't have to worry too much, Dionia is being watched and protected by Hades! Plessinas reassured him gently.
