Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

"Alas... Tina, the army of Syracuse approached Trina, and I think it is difficult for the South Italian Army to block them on the north bank of the Ramato River." Yasistus said truthfully.

"Then... Isn't Knapitia where we are in danger?" Tina was startled.

Asistes didn't answer. He sat by the bed, reaching for his wife: "Is the child asleep?"

"Mza has taken him to sleep." Tina pointed her finger at the bedroom next to it.

Yasisters hesitated and said in a deep voice, "You will take the child to Cosenza tomorrow."

After listening to Tina, she immediately glared her eyes and said aloud, "I will not go! I am the daughter of the veteran Weisba of the senate, my brother is the chief executive of Grummentum, and I am Knapetia. The wife of the Chief Executive! When all the people of Knapetiya are starting to defend the Syracuse from invading their homes, what will the people here think if they leave with their children! They will listen to you with all their might 'S command!"

Yasisters stayed for a long while. He hugged his wife and gritted his teeth. "You're right! I patronized the safety of you and your children and forgot this! Our whole family... stayed here, all here. ."

Tina, in turn, comforted her husband: "With the protection of Hades, Knapetia will be able to hold it! And when Lord Davis returns, the Syracuses will definitely be driven away!"

Yasisters looked at his Lucania wife, but did not expect her to have more confidence in the war than herself, just wondering what happened to Lord Davis in Lucania now?

The messengers sent by the Samonei army stationed in Poseidonia after an afternoon and evening rush, finally arrived in the early morning at the big camp of Samone, not far from Potentia.

"What are you talking about?! The Dionysians surrounded Poseidonia!" Tottenk, the chief of Pentene, couldn't sit still when he heard the news. After all, he was stationed in the city of Poseidonia 3000 Pentney warriors.

"Did you check it out? Which unit of Dionysia was it?" The chief of Hillpini Veronie asked the messenger carefully.

"It is the third legion of Dionia, we can be sure! And when they were building the camp, the soldiers were almost shouting in Lucanian." The messenger replied confidently.

Veroni knew that the third legion of Dionia was mainly composed of Lucanias. After listening to the messenger, he rested his mind: think about it, too, since he has invaded the Potentia territory. Ten days, based on his many years of fighting with the Greeks in the Campania region, the Dionysians needed to mobilize citizens and gather troops in Turiri to prepare for support, and then lead the army through the rugged Lucania mountains, It will take more than half a month to arrive here, just as they have been mobilizing and preparing for the agreement with the Syracuse people two months ago, and they have gained the huge momentum today.

"How many are they?" Tolek asked urgently.

"Together with Elijah's army, the total number exceeds 10,000."

"Veroni!" Tolek looked at the chief of Hillpini.

Veroni faced Tolek's gleaming gaze, of course knowing what the chief of Pentney wanted to say.

At this time, Gellney interjected loudly: "This Dionysian Third Army ran quite fast! Father, it was hard to wait until Uncle Tolek led his army back, with the ballista of Syracuse, tomorrow We attacked with all our might, and we might win Grummentum!..."

Guerney said more and more eagerly: "The cunning Dionysians dare not fight us head-on, trying to disrupt our plans by attacking the city of Poseidonia, we can't—"

Veroni interrupted his words loudly: "Poseidonia stores a large amount of food for our army. It is very important to us. The Dionysians must not be captured. We must rescue Poseidonia!"

Veronica's words made Torek look a little bit: "Veroni, I will now lead my clan warriors to rescue Pitney." He finished and stood up, ready to go out.

"Don't worry, Tolek." Veroni turned to look at the leader of the army of Cavutini: "The third legion of Dionynia is a slippery fish, I'm afraid they will run away again this time, continue Add trouble to us. Chief Queduink, can you lead the cautini warriors and the Pentene warriors to catch this fish net and wipe it out with Elijah's reinforcements!" Veroni His right fist waved hard in the air: "You can even continue to march towards Elia and try to take this Greek city. In this way, the safety of Poseidonia is more guaranteed. "

"Cautini warriors will agree to your request." Quindock immediately accepted it and was able to rob the Greeks. Of course he was very excited and immediately got up and went out with Tolek.

When only the chiefs of the Hilpini tribe were left in the big tent, Gellny complained loudly: "Father, we finally got together and prepared to launch a full offensive against Potentia. Now you are good. Not only did Torek agree to leave, but Quinduk also went to help. When so many soldiers left at once, when will we be able to win the city of Potentia?!"

His words received a response from some leaders.

"Garney, the chieftain will not let Tolek leave, will he leave?! Don’t forget that there are 3,000 Pentene fighters in Poseidonia, and Tolek is Pentene’s big The leader, not the leader of Hillpiri, how could the big leader stop him! If it is forcibly blocked, it will only cause the two of us to quarrel, which is not good for the entire war! So the big leader has to do this." Benevento The leader of the Russian Federation, Lesguk, defended Veroni.

Guerny snorted, a little unwilling.

Veroni smiled and nodded his thanks to Lesguk. The leader of Beneventum was regarded by many tribal leaders as the best candidate for the next big leader.Veroni explained: "If the Dionysian Third Army came too fast, the Pentene fighters in Poseidonia would not have time to repair the city defense, otherwise Tolek would not be so panic. So I let Quinn Duque took the Cavutini fighters with him, and the total number of rescue forces totaled 25,000, which was enough to crush the Dionysian Third Army and save them from continuing to find us. trouble.

Veroni said, and looked around the leaders in the account, saying: "They are fighting in Poseidonia, and we cannot be idle. The Syracuses do not mean that the city of Potentia is high and the mountain slopes. That... isn’t it good for the ballista to position and aim? We took advantage of this time to build a platform for the ballista, as the Syracuses said, while continuing to expand the camp and step up to Potentia. Siege..."

"Got it." Galney responded weakly.

Veroni looked at him and smiled: "It is actually good for us not to attack Potentia now!"

The success of this sentence caused a lot of doubts, including his son.

"Several days ago, when the Syracuse people brought food, they told us,'Dionysius's army will launch an offensive against Great Greece within a few days.' If this is the case, we will slow down the offensive, Make the city of Potentia safe for the time being. You said that the Dionians would choose to face the army of Syracuse on the flat sea? Or risk the emptiness of the territory and send reinforcements to the mountains and wading to Potentia , Against us who will not threaten Dionysia for the time being?"

"Of course it is to switch the main force to meet the Syracuse, because their threat is greater!" Leishuk said loudly.

At this time, Galni also understood and said excitedly: "So, we can safely eat Potentia and even Lucania without worrying about Dionysia's reinforcements!"

Seeing the atmosphere in the big tent warm up, Veroni said: "So we must tighten our pockets and never let anyone in Potentia slip away, because they are our wealth!"

…………………………………

Since the tribes of the various tribes of Potentia retreated into the city, the Samones did not launch an offensive against Potentia during this time, but this did not make the people in the city feel relieved.Anyone who sees the newly built Camp Samonet under the hillside, stands on the top of the hill overlooking the endless military accounts that extend to the west, and the campfires lit at night are like countless stars in the sky. Inevitably shiver.Not to mention the encircling hills, deepening and extending trenches, and the Luzhai erected in front of the trenches...The Samonais wanted to blow them all!

The enemy is so powerful, but there is no news for the reinforcements during this time. Potentia is like an island isolated from the world. Panic and anxiety are gradually swallowing the courage of the people to fight against the enemy.

Puamot calmed down on weekdays to encourage people's confidence, but he woke up in a nightmare every night.Less than a month later, he actually lost a dozen pounds.

Last night, he couldn't sleep because the Samonaites possessed a new siege device that could shoot a helmet-sized stone like an archery from a hundred meters away, over the city wall, and destroyed several wooden houses.

Puamot remembers the consternation in the eyes of every soldier around him so clear that even he himself doubted whether he could stick to the city.

At this time, he had no appetite to drink the broth brought by the slaves, but just bite a few bites of rough oatmeal, and he got up and prepared to continue the work that must be done every day-touring the city.

Just when he put on the armor, the gatekeepers hurried into the hall and shouted excitedly: "Big leader, Lord Bolt is back!"
