Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

This time, Adpiges came from Cosenza specifically to report to Aristilas: After the defeat of the Ramato River, the soldiers of the Fifth Legion released by Dionysius against Bruti Some influences caused by the region hope to arouse the vigilance of the Senate.Unexpectedly, he encountered this incident. Because he used to graze often as a slave, he was superb riding, and he was also familiar with the terrain of the Cosenza plateau. It is possible to send a long-distance letter at night.

At this moment, after understanding the beginning and end of the matter, Aristilas knew that the matter was of great importance. He did not dare to take the slightest light and immediately made a decision: "Go, you and I will see Master Mariji immediately!"

Why is it to meet the business officer Mariji, not the ombudsman Sesta, who really has the right to punish the veteran who left the office, or Kunogolata, who is temporarily in charge of the entire administrative power of Dionysia?

That's because Mariji is the confidant of Lord Davos and is familiar with the intelligence department responsible for Aristilas, and Aristilas has seen Kunogolata several times and clearly feels his aversion to himself .As for Sesta, it is mainly unfamiliar and afraid of delaying time.

After hearing this amazing news, Mariji went to see Sesta without any hesitation. Sesta immediately sent people to these veteran mansions to check, and it turned out that someone was empty.

As a result, the crowd immediately came to Kunogolata Mansion.

Kunogolata is old after all, and although it is not late at night, he has already fallen asleep.After being awakened, I was still a bit confused, but I heard Seta saying: "The three of Petaru, Bergam, and Kadulke left Turri without permission and went to Bruti quietly, which may lead to a sentence. Chaos!"

All his drowsiness was frightened.

"Whether their departure is due to urgent matters in the tribe, or other reasons, without the approval of the Senate, unauthorized departure is a violation of the Union's laws!" Kunogolata said euphemistically, but it was hard to hide his heart Anxiety: "Send a cavalry immediately and rush to the Bruti area to see if they can be brought back! If they do not catch up, rush to Cosenza and notify Silos to strengthen alertness and search. Once they are found, they will immediately They'care'!"

At this time, there were 500 cavalry left in the city, but they were all citizens and were not armed, so they must wake up from house to house at this late hour, so Kunogolata reminded again: "When gathering cavalry , Don’t make too much noise, so as not to cause panic among the people!"

"If the cavalry catches up with them, what will they do?" Seta asked coldly.

"It's better not to hurt them, there is really no way to hurt them, but they must not—" Kunogolata's voice had just dropped, and Sesta had strode out.

"There is one thing I forgot to say... In fact, Aristilas has sent someone to rob Petaru before they rushed to Cosenza to inform Silos." Mariji interjected in time for this Davis man The intelligence officer is credited.

"Oh, is it?!" This is really an unexpected surprise!Kunogata looked at Aristilas standing in the corner of the living room.

"The situation was urgent at the time, and my unauthorized decision was just to make the chief executive of Cosenza, Silos, vigilant. My people are rushing to Cosenza, and now the road is dark, I hope he can get there before them. Cosenza." Aristilas explained.

Because of previous prejudices, Kunogolata was unable to speak out about the intelligence leader. He just nodded and said to Marigi: "Although it is late, we must inform other elders to tell them tonight Let them have a psychological preparation. So Master Mariji, please go and let them come to me." Kunogolata This is to remedy afterwards, to avoid others saying that he is arbitrarily, good to Daveus There is an explanation.

"Okay!" Mariji replied altogether, and turned away.

Aristilas also followed, and was stopped by Kunogolata: "You stay."

Aristilas looked at Kunogolata in surprise and asked, "What's your name?"

"Aristilas."

"Aristilas, you did well before!" Kunogolata said solemnly: "I know you are the eyes of Lord Davis. The situation in Dionysia is not very good now, I hope Can you do me a favor temporarily."

"As a citizen of Dionysia, it is my duty to contribute to the alliance." Aristilas immediately stated.

"I want you to send someone to follow the movements of the other elders of Bruti in the Senate. Before Lord Davos returns, please tell me anything unusual. When Davis returns, I will explain to him. Kuno Gorata watched him.

Aristilas hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly nodded and said, "Well, Master Kunogolata, I will report to you every day."

After leaving the Kunogola Tower, Aristilas flicked his fist lightly, and a smile appeared on his face: in the past, they could only do things secretly, and they were also disgusted by some elders. This time they can get important figures among the elders. Kunogolata's approval can be said to be a big step away from the intelligence department's approach.

On the road leading to Cosenza, dozens of people, including Bergam, Petalu, and Kadulke, carried torches along the way.

Looking beyond the range of fire, the front is the dark and wilderness, and only the strong mountain wind can be heard on the plateau without any obstruction, and a cry of wail is made, as if the women are crying...

Petaru wrapped his leather gown tighter. On this bad night in winter, he not only felt cold, but also a bit cold in his heart: Although he had made up his mind to leave the Dionysian Union, but seriously Taken action, what is the future destiny of him and his tribe?Just like the road with five fingers out of his hands, he could not estimate...

"Listen, what's this voice?!" Kadurke shouted suddenly.

"It's a wolf!" Someone distinguished from the wind and reminded loudly: "Be careful of the wolf in front!"

The crowd gathered together in a hurry and dared not get away.In the wilderness of the night, meeting a wolf is a headache.

Everyone proceeded carefully.

It didn't take long for them to see that five or six wolves were biting something beside the road.Big torches, bayonets, and short swords dispelled these green wolf, gritted wolves. They did not go far, but wandered around.

"It's a horse corpse!" Everyone saw what the wolf was biting.

"It should not have been long since he died." After listening to the tribe's words, Bergam's face became dignified: "It seems that some people passed by here on horseback not long ago."

Petaru "giggled" in his heart, and his face also became ugly: "It is likely that someone discovered our action and rode to Cosenza to inform us!"

"We walked so secretly that they could not know in advance, and this is the fastest way to get to Cosenza. Even if it is found, it is impossible to walk in front of us. This time was just a coincidence, it must be whose stable. Strictly, let the horse sneak out and be killed by the wolf..." Kadurke argued.

"But this is not a Brutima." Bergam, who was looking closely at the horse's corpse, reminded him: "The skeleton of a horse corpse on the ground is larger than the short Brutima."

"You don't know. Now there are many tribes on the Cosenza plateau who also raise some horses from other places." Kadurk rebutted again.

"Okay, don't argue anymore, no matter where this horse comes from, we must be vigilant." Petaru hurried up to the round field and said, "I decided to go to my original branch south of Cosenza first. Tribe (as one of the main initiators of the Bruty war, the main accomplice of the Pianlun tribe-Petaru's tribe was split after the war, one near Cosenza and the other Was moved to the edge of Knapetiya’s territory)."

"I have to go back to Cosenza." Cadurk said.At first, he opened the city gate and led Dionia to enter the inner city of Cosenza, so he was rewarded by Dionia. His tribe was intact and had not been moved. It is completely among the many small tribes in Cosenza now. A big one.

"You have to be careful yourself." Petaru can only say this, because Cadurk does not sneak back into the tribe, and takes enough soldiers, which is not helpful to their rebellion. This is also his prejudice. Reasons to be willing to join forces with him.

"After you persuade your tribe, don’t forget to lead them to the meeting of Ambalia as soon as possible! Only when we get together will we become strong, so that the Dionysians will not dare to invade easily, we will have enough time Go make more choices!" Bergam reminded the two.

After Bruty merged into Dionysia, the city of Cosenza has changed a lot in recent years.

The inner city is the administrative area, mainly including the city hall, the council hall, the court, the temple, the plaza, and the military department, the chief mansion and the residence of the officials next to the plaza.

The role of the Chamber of Deputies is mainly: the Chief Executive of Cosenza negotiates with the leaders of the tribes of Bruti about some management issues in the Bruti region.From this point of view, other Greek cities are still preparing for local councils, and Cosenza is already implementing a similar mechanism.Of course, this is related to the survival status of the tribe as the main body in the Bruti region. A similar mechanism is implemented in Grummentum in Lucania.

Speaking of the courts in the city of Cosenza, the "Dionysia Law" stipulates: the tribe can break the law, and the tribe can punish them according to their clan rules, but if the people do not agree, they can appeal to the Cosenza court. The Dionysian Citizen Law was retried and finally resolved in consultation with the tribal leader.Since tribes often proceed based on the interests of the tribe as a whole or the chiefs, most of the offenders did not obey the punishment made by them, and turned to the Cosenza Tribunal, although this made the work of the judges more and more busy, and the courts were initially One of them has been increased to five, but its fairness is increasingly recognized by the people of Bruti.
