Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The group descended the gentle slope and walked into the big river beach. It was much better here than before: the land was soft and the road was flat, almost level with the river.

"You just said that the Turiris hate this hot spring swamp, why?" Yasistes still loves the previous question.

The guide glanced at him and said, "This swamp is suitable for hot springs and the water temperature is very suitable all year round, so there are so many mosquitoes and bites are very strong. The Turui people are almost unwilling to come here."

Yasistus stared at the other side with wide eyes, and the diffuse mist greatly blocked his sight, adding a bit of mystery to the swamp.

Without saying a word, Davers gazed at the great beach, the Tino River and the hot spring marshes on the opposite bank, thinking about what.

After about half a mile of walking, the river beach is over.They had to dismount and walk in order to walk up the gentle slope, because the mud was slippery and they could not ride at all.

Going up the gentle slope and leaving the big river beach, the next step is completely uphill.There are fewer and fewer farmlands, but more and more trees are growing denser, until no trace of human architecture can be seen.

At this time, Daphes had reached the open area on the hillside, but the guide refused to go forward: "Crossing the mountain beam in front is the camp of the Lukalia, it is too dangerous!"

Daphes said something so badly, before the guide agreed to show them away.

Standing on the top of the hill, facing the majestic mountain wind, looking forward: in front is a higher hill, which should have been full of green scenery, but a large number of trees have been cut down, clearing a large area , Numerous tents are scattered on it, and from the distance, the small ants like the Lukalia are densely packed...

"Wow, there are a lot of people!" Anyist, who also saw Persia's mighty army, could not help saying that.

Daveus didn't speak. He watched carefully for a while, then pointed to somewhere in front of him and asked, "Where is that?"

The pale-faced guide looked blankly and asked, "Where?"

"On the right side of the hill, it seems that... from time to time a team of Lucanians came out from there..." Daveus pulled the guide, pointing to the front again, and said.

The guide opened his eyes wide, confirmed it carefully, and said, "Oh, that's the valley pass. There is a passable mountain road that leads to the territory of the Lucanias."

"How long is the mountain road?" Daveus continued to ask.

"I haven't traveled, I heard that there are more than forty miles, it sounds not too far away, but the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the time it takes to walk up may be a day or two. Oh... yes, before Turri's army It was when he was ambushed while marching on this mountain road that he was defeated..." said the guide with fear.

Daveus looked at the continuous mountains behind the hill, meditating.

"Turii should build a fortress here, and the Lucania will not come in so easily." Ledes said.

"Originally, Turiri had a camp here, but it was nothing serious for decades. In addition, the conditions here are poor, so there are not many citizens willing to come here to stay. Unexpectedly, the Lucania will suddenly attack. The result..." said the wizard in frustration.

"If the Turiris are here to stay, it's okay for us." Daveus said lightly: from the fact that the mountain is almost undeveloped, it can be seen that the Turiris have not been here. Heart, it is strange to be able to hold it.This is a common problem of Greece, a nation that loves sailing and doing business, and they have no interest in mountains at all.

At the urging of the guides, the group embarked on a return journey.

Seeing Daveus and his group relaxed, this domestic slave regarded by Burcos as a confidant heard his master say that these people around him are all warriors, so they couldn't help but ask: "Dave Do you think we can defeat these Lucanias?"

"That won't be known until I hit it," Daveus said lightly.

This time, they descended east along the right edge of the Subari Plain. This side is also a continuous mountain forest. The cheerful streams accompanied them all the way to the east, and eventually converged into a river. When Dave was running along the south bank of the river. Seeing the soldiers who felled trees on the other side of the river, he remembered that this was the river that Felix mentioned-the guide called it the Subari River.

Seeing that it was dusk, Daveus canceled his plan to continue his investigation northward. He disembarked and crossed the river, leveled the trunk with the soldiers, and carried the wood back to the camp.

After dinner, after listening to the reports of Felix and the team officials, they confirmed that the mercenaries were all working well, and sent them away. Daveus calmed down and used the branches to sketch the terrain of the daytime investigation on the ground, after repeated modifications until Satisfied, he stared at it for a long time, keeping this pattern in his mind firmly in his mind.Of course, this is just a sketch, and then we need to send a scout ride to further improve, such as the approximate area of ​​the Xubari Plain, the width and depth of the Krati River, the area of ​​the big river beach, etc.

Intelligence work is the first priority in war, and terrain investigation is the top priority in intelligence work!Over the past six months, the battle has taught Daveus a lot. Combining the knowledge of his previous life, he has always believed that the famous general also needs "99 points of sweat plus one point of talent" to practice. He has never been sitting in court. The general who can control the troops to win the field, so he has been working hard and hard...

…………………………

The next day, under the guidance of the guide, Daveus and his team continued to probe north.Across the Subari River, there are about ten miles from the forest to the bay. The land between them is more flat. It is still part of the Subari Plain. The Turiris did not grow wheat here, but olives. Trees and open up vineyards.

The guide said: The wines here are famous all over Great Greece.This reminded Daveus of the previous life's story about the ancient Subari's luxurious bathing with wine, presumably from the wine here.

Only at this time, the vineyards were overgrown with no one to take care of.

"That's because from time to time, the Lukalia from Amendola are wandering around, and the people are afraid to come over..." the guide explained.

"Turii should send troops to provide protection for their citizens!" Yasisters said disdainfully.

"After the last defeat, Turui is afraid that his strength is insufficient. Keeping the city of Turui is their primary problem." Davers said.

"Leader Davers is right!" The guide took advantage of the situation to escape from embarrassment.

"Isn't it said that there are not many Lucanias in the city of Amendolara? We can provide protection for the Turiris here, of course, we have to pay a little protection fee." Yasisters said jokingly.

"Axi, in the future you will also fight independently. One thing you have to remember is not to disperse your troops easily!" Daveus said rightly: "Our main task now is to help Turui defeat Luca Niya’s army is left alone for now. As long as he wins, Amendolara is not a problem at all!"

Yasisters and Ledes listened carefully, nodding uncontrollably.

A group of people continued on until they were blocked by a river.

"This is the Saraceno River, the boundary river between Turui and Amendolara," the guide said.

"It would be Amendola's territory to say that in the past." Daveus pointed in front of his finger.

"Yes, it is possible to meet the Lucanians at any time, so let's go back here." The guide face was terrified.

And Davers became clearly interested: "Can this river walk?"

The guide hadn't answered yet. The uncontrollable Yasisters had drove the horse into the river, and the ten-meter-wide river immediately reached the opposite bank.

"The depth of the water will reach the thigh." Yasistus stood before the horse and gestured.

"Ledes, Philius has left a hundred soldiers at the logging site as a precaution. You can bring them in and let's cross the river to see together." Daveus immediately ordered.

"Yes!" Ledes ran back excitedly.

The wizard can only wait helplessly at this time.

More than ten minutes later, Ledes hurriedly rushed with more than 100 heavily armed soldiers.

These soldiers were equally excited despite panting.Seeing them, Davers was more courageous: "We cross the river!"

The guide didn't understand why these people were so excited. Don't you know that there are terrible Lucania people across the river?But as a slave, he couldn't stop him, but he followed with fear.
