Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

Two races that had the same ancestry because the river had an insolvable hatred. When the Puchti people led by King Tremoni, put aside their previous stereotypes and formed an alliance with the Mesapi The Pucciti’s strength was growing rapidly. They quickly recaptured the previously lost Canusion, and crossed the Ovanto River several times, invading the land on the north bank.

When the Dawns were worried about the increasingly powerful opponents in the south, the news came from the south six years ago: Puchti's 100-year old enemy was defeated by a kingdom called Dionia, and King Tremoni died in battle!After a few more years, the Puchti territory of Noord University completely changed its owner.

Although the Done also knew that Dionysius was a powerful kingdom, and the entire southern Italy was its territory, they were always calm, and even some Done believed that the Dionysians were their friends because Dionia has fought the Pucciti many times in the past, and even defeated the Mep Allies seven years ago.But when the Dionysians conquered Pucciti and extended their territory to the south bank of the Ovanto River, the Dawn finally panicked.

When the Dawn messenger stepped into the grandiose Great Hall of Turriy, King Dionia received him warmly, and readily agreed to sign a two-year friendly peace agreement with Dawn.

The Downey people put down their worries and spent two years easily. When they renewed their contract, this time the Dionysian House made a request-let Downey put the Ovanto River on the north bank. The land along the coast is placed under Dionia.Their reason was that the Puceti people had always insisted that the land was originally owned by them, but they were later seized by the Dawns, and now the Puceti people have become a member of the people of the Kingdom of Dionysia, Dio Niah has reason to seek justice for his citizens.

The Downey couldn’t possibly agree to this request, so renewal of the contract failed, negotiations broke down, and war started.

……………………………………

As a Puchti person, Elums has experienced and witnessed the turbulence and change of things that he has never been able to compare with his calm first half of his life:

More than ten years ago, King Tremoni launched the largest offensive against the Downey, but suffered a fiasco and lost the important town of Canusian on the south bank of the Ovanto River. During that time, Elems experienced In the most difficult period, not only was there a lack of food and not enough food, but also the fear of further invasion by the Downey.Fortunately, Tremoni recognized the reality, took the initiative to serve softly, signed a truce with the Downeys, and soon formed an alliance with Mesapi, not only won half of the city of Brindisi, but also the Tarantum army Successively frustrated.

When Elums and his comrades thought that their good days were coming, Dionia’s army appeared.In the Battle of the Ellen Hills, Elems and his comrades were defeated by the Dionysians while occupying the ground. Although the loss was not large, they let the self-proclaimed brave against Dionysian. Fear, forcing the Mep Allied Forces to sign a truce with Tarantum, only to cause the Dionysians to leave the Apulia region, whether they were Puchti or Mesapi were relieved .

In the following years, Pucciti, with the help of Mesaphi and the nourishment of the Brindisi Sea Trade, gradually recovered his strength, and King Tremoni could not wait to start the war against the Dawn again, Elm Si also took up his weapon and went to the battlefield... this time they won the victory, recaptured the city of Kanusian, and drove the Dawn back to the north bank of the Ovanto River.

Just as Tremoni was preparing to lead his troops to continue to attack Ovanto's north shore, the Mesapi sent messengers to invite their king to send troops to attack Tarantum.It turned out that Tarantum had stupidly torn up the covenant with Dionia and also sent troops to attack Dionia. As a result, they suffered a fiasco and almost none of the soldiers who fled returned.And the Dionysians were attacked by another stronger force than it. It is hard to say whether they can win.Even ordinary people like them thought it was a great opportunity. Of course King Tremoni readily agreed with the Mesapi’s proposal.When the news came out, Elums and other compatriots cheered. After all, the Tarantum are much better than the Dawn, and they are also richer than the Dawn.

Elems went out with the army again.The Maple Allied Forces easily occupied a large area of ​​Tarantum and advanced to the city of Tarantum.Although siege is a headache, but they have 40,000 troops, but there are not many soldiers in Tarantum in the city. Elems personally saw that there are even old men and young men serving as soldiers to defend them against the attack. city.After seeing this situation, Elums and his comrades were confident that they would eventually capture Tarantum City. However, after a dozen days of attacks, Tarantum City remained standing still.Especially afterwards, there was a strange phenomenon. Every time they attacked into the dusk, they felt that the Tarantum were almost unable to withstand it. They were repeatedly rushed into the city by the soldiers of the Maple Army, but they reached the second place. The defender at the head of the city seemed to change again, full of fighting spirit and strength.

At this time, the camp also circulated a message "The Dionysians have completely defeated their enemies", and some people saw the Dionysian messengers entered the Mep coalition army account.Ellems later learned that the messenger was here to make an ultimatum and wanted them to withdraw immediately, because Tarantum had become the "free city" of Dionia.

Elems hasn't understood what "Free City" is, but he knows that the governors of King Tremoni and Mesapi must be very unwilling, so he will launch the largest scale the next day. The siege of the city, but the defender at the head of the city of Tarantum has almost doubled. The final result is of course a failure.The actions of the Mep’s Allied Forces apparently angered the Dionysians, and soon bad news came the next day. “Their combined fleet was attacked by the Dionysian Navy in the Gulf of Taranto, and only five warships fled battlefield."

King Tremoni and the Mesaphi finally decided to retreat before the Dionysian army returned to Turri.When the news came, Elems and his comrades were relieved. They were tired of the constant climbing of the city walls, but they were unable to face the enemy and suffocated. And from the bottom of their hearts, they were not willing to be scared. The Dionysians fought.

In the following years, Elums lived a very peaceful life, except for occasionally crossing the river with the tribal leader to attack Daoli.But he knew that King Tremoni and the big men were uncomfortable. Although Dionysia had remained innocent against Puchetti, he also repeatedly rejected the proposals put forward by Pucciti and Mesapi envoys. The requirement of forming an alliance or signing a friendly agreement with Dionia.Elums was obviously disturbed by the tribal leaders. Not only did they call for more frequent military training for the people, they even forced people like him who were over 35 years old and started to lose strength to participate.

The judgment of the king and the chiefs is correct. Four years after the siege of Tarantum, Dionia declared war on Pucciti and Mesapi. The reason for declaring war was "to break the truce for the two races." The agreement and the joint attack on Tarantum are fair."

Elums always laughed when he thought about it.Didn't Tarantum tear the covenant and attack Dionysia?Did Dionia want to get justice for Tarantum?!But think about the fact that Tarantum has become the city of the Kingdom of Dionysian. Of course, the Dionysians can only focus on the revenge of the independent Pchetti and Mesapi.

The 40-year-old Elums, like his former comrades-in-arms, was inspired by the slogan "Defend his homeland" to pick up the shield spear again and rush to the front.

After a period of preparation, convergence, marching, reconnaissance, small-scale battles... After the Maple Allied Forces finally decided to fight the Dionysians in the Brindisi territory.

Elams will never forget the scene of that day.The Maple Allied Forces have indeed made careful preparations in recent years. The number of its soldiers is more than 60,000. This is a huge army that Elems has never seen in his life. The soldiers lined up from north to south, and they looked endlessly... ...And there are more Dionysian soldiers on the opposite side, and all are uniform armor and weapons, standing quietly there, like a hard black reef on the seashore, which is daunting...

Pucciti and Mesapi warriors have never been good at defense, so as soon as the horn sounded, everyone roared and charged forward...

Then the bow and arrow that covered the sky and the sun shot wave after wave from the opposite side, seemingly never ending...

Then came the more powerful javelin rain...

Elems watched the comrades beside him keep hitting the ground with arrows. The original thick army formation was shot out of each gap, just like the bark of the hole that was bitten by insects and ants.

Then he heard the enemy roaring in unison and began to charge, like the dark clouds before the storm pressed against them, making him nervous so that his breathing would stop, his palms were all sweat.

The two armies collided together and engaged in bloody fighting.The young and powerful soldiers in the front of the Puchti lineup, with their blood and courage, constantly hit the steel lineup built by the Dionysian soldiers. However, like the raging tide and angry reef, it was only in vain in the end.

After more than half an hour, the Dionysian army was still, and they slowly receded.Elems, who was in the rear, could hear from the noisy killing that most of the screams came from the Pucciti warriors, so he was terrified.

When he heard a panic yelling "The enemy is coming from the flank!", he turned around without hesitation and fled.The comrades beside him are like him, making the same choices.
