Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

The people who watched all this cheered and cheered, while the Lucanian slaves who participated in the excavation of the canal and the waterwheel were dumbfounded and suspected of being ghosts and gods.

"Sir Dapheus, Zeus bless, this is really amazing! Great! With this...water...waterwheel, our Amendolara can add more than 300 acres of good land!" Cole Nerus was excited.

"It's not just the addition of fields, people will be more convenient to use water in the future!" Scombras also seemed very happy.

"Everyone, this is not the protection of Zeus, thanks to Master Davers! The waterwheel is a drawing designed and provided by Master Davers personally. If it is really god-loving, it must be Hades!" Mariji If you are welcome, Cornelius will embarrass them a little.

Davies did not stop Malige's impoliteness or humility. He needed to make these old citizens understand that Amendolara, under his control, will say goodbye to the past and shine brightly!

The cheers of the people contrasted sharply with the uneasiness of several old citizens.

At this moment, Yasisters came to tell him: Ezham is back!

Daphes immediately handed Cornellus the task of presiding over the celebratory ceremony, and Cornellus took on the glorious task with a complex look.

……………………………

Daveus hurried back to his house with Yasisters.

Ezam was a servant, with a dirty face, long hair and long beard, wearing a ragged Lucanias robe and bare feet, standing in front of Davis, so that Davis could hardly recognize it. himself.

It turned out that Izam returned to the city and went directly to Davers without going home first.As a high-ranking person, while praising Izam’s work enthusiasm, Davers had to express his concern, so he let the slave girl take Izam to bath, cut her hair, and trim her beard (the Greeks are different from the Romans) , They are bearded), at the same time set up a rich lunch, invited Ezham to eat and talk.

In the relaxed atmosphere deliberately created by Davers, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, Izam also gradually relaxed: "Master Davies... uh..." Izam burped and said, "I Follow your orders, disguise yourself, cross the mountain road in the western part of the Subari Plain, and go to Laos first. It is located at the mouth of the river called "La River" by the locals. The city is not big, but it is a stone city. And there is a port, so the precautions are not too strict. I mixed in, worked at the pier, and moved the goods every day, so I knew the slaves of several pier. Guess who they were?" Izam asked mysteriously.

"They should be Greeks." Daveus was not surprised. The Lucanians invaded the Turiri region many times, and the captive Greeks were not rare.

But then Izam's answer really surprised him: "Accurately they are descendants of the Subaris, Laos was built by the Sybaris. Listening to these people, the Subaris built Larus Sis was to make it a transit port for Sybaris to trade in cities such as Napoli, Etruria, and Massinia, so Laos was prosperous at that time... but Sybaris After Sri Lanka was destroyed, Laos had no support and was quickly occupied by Niutum who went south."

"Oh, that's true..." Daveus did feel some surprise. He asked: "So, the original Subaris became slaves? How many Greek slaves are there in Laos now?"

"I don’t know how many Greek slaves there were, but when the Lucanians attacked Laos, some Greeks surrendered voluntarily and joined Lucania... One of the leaders of Laos, Avignonis, was The descendants of these people and the tribes he led were also descendants of the Subaris. The Lukanians believed that they were not pure-blooded Lukalia, and they did not trust them very much, and they often abused them and suppressed them. These Greek slaves also spurned these people, thinking that it was their betrayal that led to the fall of Laos, but they did not hate Avinojis very much. Most think that he is a good person, because he often helps them... "

Izam took a few more sips and said with some excitement: "Now the city of Laos is not stable, because some Lucanian tribes headed by Tula, the chief of Laos, in order to prevent Avinojis Sharing loot, so only his tribe stayed behind, did not participate in the invasion of Turi. I didn’t expect you to lead us to almost wipe out all the Lucanias who invaded Turi! Haha... Tula, the chief of Laos With only dozens of fighters fleeing back to the city, Avinogis became the strongest leader in Laos city. As a result, guess what happened?

Izam seemed a bit drunk, and he didn't pay attention to his size, but Davers didn't care, and he moved: "The extorted chief wanted to annex the tribe of Avinogis?"

Izam slapped the wooden chair and said, "My lord, you are so powerful, I guessed it!" He grabbed a piece of bread, tore a large piece, and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it loudly.

Yasistus raised his eyebrows and was about to reprimand him, and was stopped by Davers.

"I heard the slaves at the pier say that once Tula invited Avinogis to a feast, not knowing what happened. When he came back, someone saw that several of his guards were injured. From that day, Avino Guice was hiding at home and never going to discuss things in the city again. I turned around his house. The soldiers armed with weapons were patrolling. Hearing them said that the reason why Avinogis didn’t fight was to resist. Observe Niutum."

"Nyutum?" Daveus listened very seriously.

"Yes, sir." Izam said, scratching his head embarrassedly. "I was planning to go northward and go deep into the hinterland of Lukalia to explore, but Niutum controlled the northbound passage in the upper reaches of the La River. Now there are strong guards where strangers cannot pass. Laos was originally ordered by Nyutum, but this time the soldiers from Nyutum were killed in battle. I heard that the leader of Nyutum was dead. In our hands, our strength has been greatly lost." At this point, Izam was somewhat complacent: "Several leaders in the city of Nyutum are busy fighting for the position of the chief, and I heard that they are almost fighting."

Izam said, picking up the wine glass subconsciously, but found that the wine in the glass was empty, Daveus got up and filled him.

Izam sat steadily and only thanked him. Davers didn’t take it seriously. He sat down and continued to listen to him: "Adult, I remember we rushed to their camp after we annihilated the main force of the Lukania coalition. Didn’t you see that the camp had been burned to ashes, and there were still many corpses. At that time, everyone guessed that it was caused by the Lukanian infighting. I now know who did it."

"Who is it?" Daveus leaned forward, expressing concern.

"Vigs!"

"Vig?"

"Sir, Vigo is south of Laos, not too far from Laos. It is a city of Brutus. However, because of the strength of the Lukanians before, it was forced to join Lucaria. Tribal alliances, because they are foreigners, may be often bullied, so..."

"Well, Bruty..." Davis Moo chin on his chin, he knows less about this aboriginal race who is also a neighbor of Turiyi, only knows that it is a threat to Turiyi because of geographical reasons Less, but it is a big problem for the few Greek city-states to the south.

"After hearing that the Vigs had fled back, they announced that they would be separated from the Lukaria tribal alliance, and built a wall, sent many soldiers to patrol the border, and blocked the passage of Laos to the south." He looked up and took a few sips of wine.

"You only know how to drink and have said so much. Is there any news from Grumentum?" Yasistus said impatiently.

"Izam went to the unfamiliar Lucania to investigate alone, and suffered a lot, and brought back valuable information, what is a drink, but you can't just drink alcohol and eat more fruits, which is good for your health." Davers said with concern.

"Yes." Izam responded gratefully, immediately put down the glass, coughed a few times, and said seriously: "Although I didn't go to Grumentum to scout, I still got his more accurate news. ."

Upon hearing this, Daveus and Yasisters both mentioned the spirit of 200%. After all, Grumentum was the culprit of the last war and the leader of the Lukaria Union. Its every move is related to Daves's offensive plan.

"Picosis is another port city in the Lucania region, and it is the strongest state in the Lucaria alliance after Grummentum. It is said that it is also a stone city." Izam did not Speaking of Grummentum first, he brought the topic to Pecosis.

Stone Town!Daphus heard the words and moved his heart.According to his understanding for more than half a year, the Greeks used stone to build cities, and the mountain tribes used wood to build cities. With the precedent of Laos and a seaport city, he could not help but doubt that Picos was also Lukali The Asians took it from the Greeks.

"Picosis and Laos have maritime trade exchanges, so some news passed from the merchants and sailors of Picos to Laos. It is said that most of the soldiers of Grummentum died in our hands, Although its chief, Akpiru, escaped, he remained unconscious. After the news spread, many tribes that were forcibly annexed by Grumentum began to break away from the control of Grummentum, but Grummentum Mu was unable to stop it because the leaders of the city were busy fighting for the position of the chief. The tribal strength of Akpiru was still the most powerful among the tribes in the city, but his son Lusau met a A strong opponent, Gananet, son of Cincinnati, the leader of Picoxis—" Speaking of which, Izam twisted a dried fig and stuffed it into his mouth.
