Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Aristotle understands that the "Turii tragedy" described by Daveus refers to the fact that Turii counterattacked the Lukalia and hurriedly entered the mountains, and eventually all died on the banks of the La River.

He thought about it, and he was still unwilling: "But...it's a pity that such a good opportunity was missed!"

"Aristo." Daphes smiled slightly: "I ask you, is it Dionysian now, or is it Picoxis, Potentias?"

"Of course we are Dionysian! Picos and Potentia together are not our opponents!" Aristotle responded without hesitation.

"In this case, what we have to do is to bite a bite like bread, and then chew it slowly into the stomach, becoming our own strength, until we are full, rather than eating one by one. Eat it without swallowing it, and you may end up choking in the end." Davers explained patiently.

"I get it, sir!" Aristotle said confidently, as smart as he understood what Davos meant, he had to spend time and energy to gain a firm foothold in the center of the Lucania region, and then use Dioni Ya's strength is not slow and slow to crush Picos and Potentia from the front.

"So now we have to negotiate with the messengers of Picoxis and Potentia, and sign peace agreements with them such as non-aggression, etc., to appease them and prevent them from blatantly in the surrounding areas of Grummentum Trouble, but the duration of the agreement can't be too long." Davies showed a hint of murder in his gentle tone.

"As for Galaguço... It is said that it is located in the deep mountains, and it has little contact with the outside world, and the living environment is relatively bad. You can consider forming an alliance with it and strengthening trade exchanges..." Daveus said here and heard the outside of the living room. Talking, he immediately stopped talking and said with a smile: "An interesting guest is here."

"Interesting guest?" Aristotle said it was rare for Daveus to give such a comment. He looked out the door curiously. When the slave housekeeper Bazor led a person in, he suddenly realized that it was him. !

Cypros, the Trina, was noticeable when his several city-state envoys from the south came to Dionia for help.Equally striking was his behavior. Not only was Dionysia’s proposal for the creation of the Southern Italian League, he was the first messenger of the Crotone Alliance who fully supported it; secondly, the first legionary army that went to the reinforcements Captain Capps later mentioned in his report to Daveus: On the way to the reinforcements, the Trina messenger Cipros strongly urged to follow the Dionysian army and live with the soldiers.It is reported that at Trina’s civic assembly, he also praised the combat power of Dionia’s army, and suggested that Trina should strengthen cooperation with Dionia...

Aristocrat remembers that after listening to this man's performance, Davos once commented: Cipros is a smart man with a flexible mind, good at observation, and knows how to work!

So this time when the Temple of Hades was inaugurated, he was one of the distinguished guests proposed and invited by Deverst.

At this moment, Davos looked at Cipros, but what he had in mind was the content of his conversation with the messenger of Elia last night.

Daphes knew clearly that after Dionia defeated Crotone and gradually became the most important force in southern Italy, it naturally attracted many people's attention.And Dionysia’s unique political system naturally cannot escape the eyes of a caring person, but not as incisive as Cipros’ analysis...

"Cyprus, Dionia's best friend, welcomes you very much!" Daveus said aloud happily: "These days are busy with the celebration, I originally wanted to entertain you after the celebration to express my gratitude ,did not expect……"

Cipros respectfully said: "Master, the Consul, I am determined to come to visit. I am really helpless. The city-state urges me to convey a proposal to you."

"Oh... what's the proposal?" Daveus motioned to Cipros to sit down and talk.

Ciplos glanced at Aristotle, and he stopped talking.

"Introduce you, Aristotle, a very talented young man, my exclusive clerk (actually just a clerk, because he has not yet been qualified as a reserve citizen), you can rest assured." Dave Aristotle's words were touched by Aristotle, and he was quite moved.

Ciplos nodded to him, sat on a wooden chair, and then asked, "Does the Archon know Brutus?"

As soon as this remark came out, Daphes understood the meaning of Cipros: "I know a little bit about this neighbor on the west side of the Dionysian Union. The Brutus are natives of Italy and they also live in the form of tribes. However, compared with the Lukalia, they are smaller in number and much less dangerous to Dionia. I heard that they often attack your Trina." Davers looked at Cipros with a smile. , Said.

"Not only Trina, they also invaded Asprostum and southern Turiri from time to time," Ciplos reminded.

"But after all, there are few times, and since the establishment of the Dionysian League, the Brutal people have never seen our harassment at all." Davers said with a light expression.

"In fact, from last year, the Brutus suddenly stopped the invasion of all Greek city-states, not only because Crotone, Siliting, and our Trina Allied forces inflicted bruties. "Cyprus paused for a moment and felt that Davos's eyes were focused. He deliberately increased the volume and said: "Because there have been major changes within the Bruti people."

"What's changing?" Daveus said with a calm expression in his heart.

"Terina borders on the town of Knapitia, the Bruti people, and fights the Bruti people all the year round. They are relatively familiar with them and have some sources of information." Cipros' expression became solemn: "Last year we received news that the leaders of the various tribes of Bruti gathered in Cosenza and have been discussing the formation of a tribal alliance."

"Is this true?" Daveus was shocked in his heart and couldn't help but leaned forward, no wonder he was a little sleepy. The reason why he pretended not to care before was because when he knew Sipu After Luosi’s visit was related to the Brutus, he didn’t want to show too much enthusiasm, and lost too many chips in discussing the future of attacking the Brutus. After all, the Brutus cannot be like the Lucania, It poses a huge threat to Dionia.

As far as he knew, in the not-so-large mountain area occupied by the Bruti people, their tribes had always been torn apart: the tribes in the north were centered on the city of Veg, and because of the border with Laos, they were previously associated with Luka The Niahs have a close relationship. Before the invasion of Tului by the Allied forces of the Lucanian tribe, they were the figures; the central part was centered on the large city of Cosenza, with the strongest strength; in the east, they lived in the upper reaches of the Krati River. Some Bruti tribes, they built a small town of Bisinia. They used to cross the mountains and snatch to the southern part of the Subari Plain, which is their masterpiece; there is another small town in the southeast of Cosenza, Anbania, which is said to be It was originally built by the tribes that fled when the city of Asprostum fell to Crotone; to the south of Cosenza, the city of Knapetiya bordered Trina, which also invaded Terry. Na's culprit.

The Bruti mountains, high mountains and dense forests, rugged roads, with the only plateau in southern Italy, the city of Vige and Knapitia are guarding the narrow passages on the west coast from the north and south, and the sea is blocked by Bisinia and Ambania. Living the only two mountain roads that communicate with the east coast, this area has become a land of four plugs. Since it has been called the habitat of the Bruti people, the Bruti people have rushed out of the mountains and invaded others, almost never. Was invaded, but there were more internal tribal wars.Most of the wars were initiated by Cosenza, and the most powerful one deliberately annexed other tribes, except for Klapetia and Cosenza, which maintained a close relationship and remained neutral, Vig, Bisinia, and Ambali. Asia often united against Cosenza.It is precisely because the frequent inter-tribal wars have consumed the strength of the Bruti, making them not a great threat to the greater Greek city-state.Nowadays, the Bruty people, who have been struggling constantly, actually want to establish a tribal alliance, which greatly increases the threat to the Greeks, especially in Dionysia, where the large territories are bordered by the Bruti Mountains.

"Of course this is true." Cipros said affirmatively: "Because in May this year, the Bruti Tribal Alliance has been established! It is reported that the Bruti tribes have elected the chief of Cosenza Pian Lun as the new Alliance The chiefs, the chiefs of Vigor City, Sedorum, the chiefs of Bisinia, Licomb, the chiefs of Ambania, Bogham, and the chiefs of Krapetia, Pangem, are the elders of the alliance. Cosenza is the center of the tribal alliance, which governs all the Bruti tribes..."

After listening to Cipros, Davers couldn't sit still. He stood up involuntarily, slowly pacing, and asked quietly, "Where did you get the news?"

Seeing such performance by Daphus, Cipros knew that this matter had aroused great concern from the highest power of Dionysia, and he was immediately in a good mood.

But he did not know that the reason why Daves cares about this matter is not only because the Bruti formed a tribal alliance, which may be dangerous to the territory of the Dionysian Union. More importantly, Daves has long been Already thinking about the issue of Bruti.

As Crotone was also defeated by Dionia, the establishment of the Southern Italian League left the Dionyan League with little power to contend with in southern Italy.
