Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Both Cincinnagar and Sedorum set their sights on Akpiru.

Acpirus watched all of this, and he knew very well in his heart that there must be some Vigos who did not fight with all their strength, after all, they were Brutians, not Lucarians. Of course, what Sedorum said may also be true, they saved the right wing and contributed to the victory of the battle! He knows Cincinnager very well, and it is his style to be greedy for cheap, bullying and afraid of hardship. It is not surprising that he can have such a performance. Rewarding merit and punishing wrongs is his responsibility as the leader of the alliance, but he can't really do it according to the covenant. Picocis is Grummentum's most important ally, and it is with its support that Grummentum is as strong as it is today. What's more, Picocis is also a powerful tribal alliance in the Lucania region. Criticizing or even punishing Picocis' chief leader in front of the Brutes will inevitably lead to Picocis' dissatisfaction, which will make Lu The Kanya Tribal Alliance is centrifuged.

The area where the Brutians live borders the southern part of Lucania, and their tribes are independent and not unified, so their strength is relatively weak. The target of the expedition, Vig is the Bruti city closest to the Lucania territory, and its initiative to take refuge (under the coercion of the army of the Lucania tribal alliance) gave Grummentum an entry point. The springboard of the Bruti region, so don't take it too harshly, but don't let it get confused about its place, because Lucanians are masters, and Brutians are destined to be enslaved! ...

After he made up his mind, he slowly said: Won this battle is the result of everyone's joint efforts! After occupying this place, I will give you each a rich trophy according to your credit! But—— He sharply His gaze made Sedorum tremble in his heart: As an ally, killing a comrade-in-arms who fights with you is an ugly act of breaking your promise, and the gods will punish you! So Vig City must pay enough to satisfy Picocis. to make up for their losses! At the same time, sacrifice the lives of the same number of Vig warriors as sacrificial burial!

What!!! When the Vig warriors present heard this, they all exploded and shouted angrily.

Grummentum and the Picosses immediately surrounded them.

Sedorum, do you agree or disagree with my decision?! Akpiru looked coldly at the big leader of Vig City.

Sedorum lowered his head, clenched his fists, his face was pale, his forehead was covered in sweat, and he was silent.

Big Chief, you can't agree! The Lucanians have insulted us so much, let's quit! Let's go back!! Saru shouted angrily.

Yes! Let's go back! Chief, let's go back!!... The Vig warriors were furious.

Go back?! Cincinnagar sneered and said to Akpiru: Look, the Brutians are really unreliable, and they want to quit the alliance they swore to join the gods so quickly! In this case, Rather than...

Hearing this, Sedorum was shocked, he raised his head suddenly, and saw the sneering sneer on Cincinnager's face and the cold expression of Akpiru.

He looked around. The Lucanians held their shields and spears, besieging his tribe. Although the warriors of Vig City struggled desperately, they were too few in number. They only wore leather armor, no copper shields, and only one long The spear, the equipment is too rudimentary... The nails of Sedorum's hands are deeply pierced into the palm of his hand... He squeezed out a sentence: I... I agree...

Big Boss!!... The sorrowful cry of the Vig warriors was like a big hammer, and the sound slammed into Sedorum's already extremely fragile heart. He staggered a few steps and sat down on the ground.

Udler is responsible for overseeing the execution of the punishment. Akpiru said, he was worried that Cincinnagar would stimulate these Brutians again and cause riots, so he chose a neutral.

Okay, replied Udler, the chief of Niutum.

After occupying this place, I will allocate a piece of land in the Sybari Plain to Sedorum and your tribe to graze cattle and sheep according to the merits made by Vig City. This is much more fertile than Bruti's land! After Acpiru made a punishment, he gave Vig City another sweetness.

Thank you... Chief... Sedorum endured his grief and thanked him.

Without waiting for Cincinnagar to speak, Akpiru asked kindly: Gneinart, my dear child, how is your injury?

Geninat endured the pain and straightened his chest: Big Chief, I'm fine, it's all flesh wounds.

That's good, you have to protect yourself. I don't want my dear daughter to become a widow at a young age. I'm still waiting for my grandson! Akpiru laughed, and the soldiers around him also Laughing together, made Genenat a little embarrassed and shy.

Cincinnager breathed a sigh of relief, since Akpiru still attached great importance to Genenat, then the promise he made to Picocis would not change because of this setback.

What is the first warrior of Lucania, to be so embarrassed by a much smaller number of Greeks, it's a disgrace to the Lucanias! The warrior's laughter came with sarcasm.

Geninat followed the sound and saw that it was Severa, the leader of a tribe in Grummentum City. He once proposed to Akpiru's daughter, but the big leader married his daughter to the tribe based on the interests of the tribe. Gnainete, and since then Severa has no good face when he sees him.

Geninat said unwillingly: If you have the ability to attack, I don't believe you can take this camp!

Alright then, I'll show you the power of our Grummentum warriors! Severa was agitated and did not refuse, turning around and shouting, Brothers—

Enough, Severa! Akpiru's low and majestic voice immediately stopped the impulse of his young leader: Let's go back to the camp!

As soon as he finished speaking, Cincinnagar shouted first: Go back now?! Aren't we going to continue to attack this camp?!

Akpiru looked up at the sky and said, It's almost dusk, and the soldiers are tired. We have killed the last contingent of citizens of Turii, and they are powerless to stop us Lucanians here. Let’s take root on a piece of land. When we go back, we will settle the wounded, restore our strength, and prepare our tools. Tomorrow we will build a city here, a city of Lucania!” Akpiru’s voice became slightly Passionate: These mercenaries are not worth our worry at all, as long as they dare to come out, we will defeat them; if they don't come out, we can block them, so that they will not be supported by Turii, they will be finished naturally; as for those Tarantum reinforcements, I heard that the relationship between Tarantum City and the Mesapis is now tense, and they will stay here for a long time!

The people around are thoughtful.

Utrera asked: Acpiru, are we not going to Amendolara?

Let's go tomorrow. Akpiru glanced at Cincinnagar. Although he didn't take mercenaries seriously on the surface, he was actually a little surprised by the combat effectiveness of this team: they captured Amendolara. The tribe did not join the Lucania tribal coalition according to his order. If he led the army over at this moment, Amendolara would probably refuse to open the city gate. Although his strength was more than ten times that of the other side, Siege is not what the Lucarians are good at, let alone a mountain city. Once it cannot be captured quickly, at night, the soldiers are extremely tired and have no food. There are threats of mercenaries and Tarantum reinforcements behind them. There is a group of unstable Vig people who are afraid that something unexpected will happen. Why should the Lucania tribal coalition take such a risk when it has a solid victory.

If the little tribal leader in the city of Amendolara is smart, they should flee back to the mountains tonight as they did last time, or tomorrow I will let them understand who is in charge in the Lucania region now. ! A bloodthirsty sneer appeared on Akpiru's face.

Hearing this, Cincinnager's face twitched a few times.
