Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Pian Lun nodded, he could only remind them that although he was elected as the new leader of the alliance, in fact he had no right to interfere in the management of these tribal towns.He turned around and asked Sedorum: "Picosis and Potentia have agreed to form an alliance with us. Do you think they will attack the Dionysians?"

"It's hard to say..." Sedorum muttered: "Because now the Dionysians are attacking us, not attacking them. Judging by Cincinnati's cunning character, he will never lead the attack. Unless we let the Dionysians fail!"

Pi Anlun was slightly disappointed in his eyes, but soon returned to normal. He loudly inspired everyone: "Everyone, as long as we resist the attack of the Dionysians, insist for half a month or a month to prevent Dioria from entering the cloth. In the Luti Mountains, their fighting spirit will be frustrated, their food transportation will also be difficult, and the Lucanians oppressed by the Dionysians will also take the opportunity to rebel, and the Dionysians will inevitably fall into trouble. ! That's when we fight back, defeating the Diaolian blockade completely, and taking the fertile plains of the Greeks for our children and grandchildren!"

Pi Anlun's inspiring words made everyone's blood boil, and Nikuru shouted, "Defeat the Dionysians!"

Building roads among winding and rugged mountains is a vast and complicated project. It not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but also tests the engineering level of a country.Turiri-Laos Avenue was built early last year, and Laos, Turiri, and Niutum have invested a lot of manpower, but they have not yet been completed.Therefore, the 20,000-strong army led by Davers and the huge corps turned around in the mountains for five days before reaching the Lahe Fortress.

The fourth legion led by Hilos had already arrived outside the city of Trina. Trina’s generals and members of the council had greeted each other. Cipros introduced Hilos one by one, and the atmosphere was very friendly.

Hilos turned down the Trina’s good intention to invite him into the city for a feast, insisting on staying with the soldiers and winning praise from a dignitarian.

He led the army to camp on the coast ten miles away from the northwest of Trina. This is the exit of the seaside pass, and it is only eleven or two miles from the city of Knapitia.

After Schloss arranged for the camp, he immediately took the guards and Ciplos to the outside of Knapitia.

On the left is a cliff, on the right is a mountain. This seaside road leading to the Cosenza plateau is not wide, and the city of Knapetiya is narrower. It seems that the city is no longer than 200 meters in length, but Completely blocked the access road; the city is not big, but it is cut from bluestone; the city wall is only four meters high, but the whole city is high, and it goes straight from where Shilos is. The road runs diagonally upward and shrinks. The narrower...

The soldiers had to spend a lot of energy just to travel down the city, not to mention avoiding the enemy's arrow rain and javelin.Fortunately, the geographical environment of the city of Asprostoum is also somewhat similar, and the soldiers usually have experience in this area during training.

Silos observed the situation on the road, thinking in his mind whether the two siege equipment that had just been equipped in the Third Army could be pushed down the city.

Seeing Hilos staring at Knapetia for a long time, Cipros thought he was frightened by the difficulty of the siege, so he reminded him: "There are a few trails in the nearby mountains that can bypass Gram. Napetia, head north to Cosenza."

"Really?!" Silos turned his head suddenly.

"Yes, otherwise how could the Xilu people and those tribes who resisted Cosenza escape the Bruty."

"So do the people inside know?" Hilos pointed to the city of Knapetia in front.

Ciplos understood what he meant, and he said affirmatively: "Of course they know."

Silos had no fluke, but he decided to send someone to scout first after going back.

"I heard that Knapetia has a port." Hilos asked again.

"It does have a port, but it's not a big port," Ciplos said, turning over and dismounting, walking towards the cliff.

Silos did not succeed, and he dismounted. He did not think he had good horse-control skills. In case the horse was frightened by the crotch by the cliff, the Fourth Army had not yet fought.

"It's there!" Ciprous's fingers were slightly misty under the strong sea breeze.

Hilos looked closely. On this cliff protruding from the land, with a height difference of nearly 100 meters from the sea, his sight could touch the coast a few miles north of the city of Knapetiya, where he saw a piece of The flat land, there is a small beach with a simple pier, and a few dozen boats moored...

Cipros said: "According to the information of the Cyrus and our ships' frequent observations through the city of Knapitia, the port of Knapitia was built at the mouth of the Savuto River—"

"Savuto River?"

"The Savuto River is a large river in the territory of Knapitia. Don’t look at the mountains or the sea around the city in front of us. It seems to be very barren. In fact, it is not far north and surrounds the Savuto River. There is a small plain, and you can reach Cosenza smoothly along the north of the Savuto Valley." At this point, Cypros showed a contemptuous smile: "It is said that the original Bruti people will use Knapetia The city was built here because we were worried about destroying and looting their farmland and pastures on the Savuto Plain, but our Trina people can’t even cultivate the fertile lands on the Overmia Plain, which would pretend to be this The small plain, but their city is ten miles away from the Savuto River, labor is very inconvenient, and they have to build another town on the banks of the Savuto River—"

"How is the defense of this town?" Hilos suddenly interrupted Cypros.

"I heard that this town has no walls."

Silos breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to spend a lot of effort to capture Knapetiya, but also to spend more effort to capture the town, in order to completely occupy the territory of Bruti.

"In the past, Knapetia was not very productive, the shipbuilding technology was poor, and there was little contact with other Italian city-states, so there is only a port, but there is almost no maritime trade, but..." Cipros said worriedly: "Now The Bruty Tribe Alliance was established. This is the only port of the Bruti people. I believe it will develop soon..."

Silos nodded, but the two of them did not know that the Brutus had passed the simple pier, broke through the blockade of Dionia, and formed an alliance with Picos and Potentia.

"Lord Lord, look!" At this moment, the guard reminded loudly.

I saw Knapetiya's gates wide open, and a team of people rushed out.

"Let's go!" Hilos ordered the whole team to return to the camp unhurriedly.

"See? The Dionysians are all cowards!" Nikuru held a spear and laughed wildly.

………………………

Daphes arrived at the Lahe Fortress, and Sesta and Gironimos, who had received the news, were already waiting there.

"Admiral, the people of Nyutum have been mobilized, and following the arrangements of the City Hall, they will carry grain and grass for our troops, build camps, and transport the wounded..." Sesta actively reported.

"Are there any opinions from the Lucanian tribes?"

"On the contrary, they are very happy to see the Brutus conquered. The stronger Dionysia, the safer they are, and it is not just the non-Greek race of Lucania that will belong to Dionysia in the future. Also willing to provide a station for the legion, but in that case, our soldiers have to be careful that Lucanian women break into their tents at night, knowing that the Greek citizens of Dionysia are very popular now!" Setta joked Said.

Daphs sounded funny and laughed.He looked at Sesta and said with some emotion: "Master Sesta, I think that as a mercenary, you should never have been a city-state public office or even managed a city."

Sesta shook his head: "In the beginning, I worked hard to eat bread, but I can't think of today. This is an adult. You have brought us unimaginable changes!"

"The opportunity is provided, and you must be able to seize the opportunity. As a mercenary with no city-state management experience, you decided to leave the familiar army and come to this strange land to face the hostile Lucca at the time. Niah, don’t be afraid of difficulties, work hard and solve problems boldly. To this day, I can say that Niunitum is completely Dionysian territory! Sesta, your work is excellent! Not only me Think of it this way, and others in the Senate think so! You are now the most experienced veteran of our mercenaries! By the end of next year’s term, I think the Senate will have more important tasks for you!" Dai Firth did not hesitate to express his appreciation of Sesta.

After hearing this, Sesta was proud and excited. He also kept a little sober: "Adult, you are the most administrative experience of our mercenaries!"

"Me?" Daveus looked left and right, and said, "That's not counted, don't you all say that I am a lord of God, it's all Hades' credit!"

Everyone laughed for a while.

"Adult." Shironimus couldn't help saying: "What is the task of our Third Army in this war?" The last reinforcement of Tarantum was not part of the Third Army, and this war mobilization Without giving specific instructions to the Third Army, Hironimos was inevitably anxious.

Daveus looked at the head of the regiment who simply moved his family to Niutum for the convenience of training and commanding the Third Army, and even did not even attend the usual meetings of the Senate. Star has political ambitions, and this reticent man is home to a military barracks, so although he is a Greek, the majority of the third army he commanded is mostly Lucania, who once hated the Greeks. The Lucanian fighters were very convinced of him, and this is why.
