Mediterranean Hegemon of Ancient Greece

When the word "surrender" was spit out of the Benevento messenger, Alexis was not too surprised, because except Beneventon, the other Hippini tribes have successively surrendered to Dior. Niah, and then he learned that Karacheni’s army had left Beneventum, so Beneventum was already a turtle in the urn.

Therefore, Alexis said confidently: "It is good for Benevento to surrender! However, as one of the initiators of this war, Benevento, according to other tribes, is still the war The main commander has caused a great disaster to Dionia and his allies and must be severely punished!"

Upon hearing this, the Beneventum messenger was frightened and quickly said: "Honorary General Alexis, Savonney has already punished Benvenventum for his fault, and the chieftain, Leskok, committed suicide last night. Thank you!"

"Lesguk is dead?!" Galney in the big tent asked in surprise.

"Yes, leader Gellney." The messenger looked at Gellney sadly and said with a choked voice: "The big leader regretted what he had done to Abenerum before he died. He hoped He is responsible for all his faults, and I hope you can spare the Beneventum tribes!"

"Lesguk wouldn't say such a thing." Guerney shook his head and sat down again, but his mood looked good.

Alexis said seriously: "Lesguk committed suicide, and he could not take the responsibility of the Beneventum! Our King Daveus once wrote and said,'There are more than ten Beneventum people. Over the years, he has been full of malice against Dionia, has been maliciously suppressing and bullying Abenirum who has friendly contacts with Dionysia, and is also the main perpetrator of the war!...'

Because of your wanton tearing up of the covenant, in order not to be provoked by Beneventon again in the future, King Daveus instructed,'Beneventum must be fully incorporated into the Kingdom of Dionysia, Beneventum’s Tribes and tribes can join the Kingdom of Dionysia, or they can move to other places in the mountains of Samone.'After the end of this war, the mountains will be sparsely populated, and some places can become your settlements."

When the messenger heard it, he was angry and shouted with blushing: "Dionia wanted to use war as an excuse to forcibly annex our Beneventum?! If so, we Beneven The Tum warriors will never succumb, and will fight to the end! Savonni will bless us, even if all the Dionysians here are killed, they will not want to attack Beneventum!

After the messenger roared, he turned to look at Gellney, scolding: "You see, this is the Dionysian ambition! Today is Beneventum, tomorrow may be Abenerum, The Dionysians may want to wipe out the entire Samonei, do you still want to be their accomplices?!"

Gellney had never heard of the messenger's desire to alienate. Alexis had already told him the instructions of Daveus. Of course he was very happy that Daveus hoped that he would become the chief of the Hillpini tribe. Although the most powerful Beneventum will be separated and become a part of the Kingdom of Dionysia, which is somewhat regrettable, but it also means that Beneventum has suppressed Abeneru for decades Mu's situation will no longer exist. In the future, he will control the entire tribe much less, so he can accept it.

He responded unhurriedly: "Abenirum has joined the Kingdom of Dionysia."

The messenger stunned.

Alexis said in a tough tone: "Our soldiers have long been ready to attack Beneventum! To accept this condition, or to fight in the end, Bereventum must give me a reply today. , Otherwise we will start siege tomorrow!"

The messenger hurried back to the city, and unexpectedly there was a storm in the city.

It turned out that the tribal warriors where Leskok was located were provoked by their relatives, believing that the suicide of the chief was related to the greed of the other tribal chiefs and the collective forced to the palace. It must be held accountable for this matter and must be tried and punished according to tradition.

Of course other tribal leaders are unacceptable, and the angry tribe warriors of Lesguk insisted that they pay the price, which led to the escalation of the conflict.

The Leskok tribe is the largest tribe in the Beneventum territory. Other tribes can only unite to fight against it.

The messenger told Diona the harsh conditions of the two sides. Although finally let everyone calm down the anger and sit down to discuss the matter, but because the dragons had no heads, they had been arguing for most of the day, and they could not come up with a unified opinion. It was a battle. Still?

The leskok tribe elected his eldest son to participate in the deliberations. Not only did he stand firm during the meeting, he had to fight deadly with the Dionysian coalition forces, but he also continued to carry out verbal attacks on other leaders who proposed further negotiations. His eyes stared at the other leaders full of hatred, which shocked the leaders.

Since Beneventum did not reply on the same day, Alexis kept his promise and dispatched a large army early the next morning in preparation for the siege.

The morality of the Dionysian coalition is high, and the desire to fight is strong.After learning that the army mainly composed of the Lucanian Reserve Corps defeated the main force of Cavutini, the soldiers of the Tenth and Eleventh Corps of course cannot allow themselves to be compared by the Legion Reserve Soldiers. For the Abenerum fighters, they could finally avenge their revenge after they captured Beneventum and let the oppression and humiliation they suffered for more than ten years be vented, so they were all excited; For Potentia For the soldiers, they captured Beneventum, so that they would no longer have to listen to the old generation's nagging about how terrible the Samonei were. They could proudly tell their descendants that they had captured the largest town of the Samonei.

Alexis ordered the siege deployment: the Potentia army attacked the east wall, the Dionysian army attacked the west, and the Abenerum army attacked the south.

Alexis also put the surrendered Hirpini tribe warriors under the command of Gellny. When he could not allow the whole army to be in siege, there were some Hirpini warriors in the camp who were still unsure of their loyalty. On the sidelines.

Faced with the dissent of these tribes, Gellny threatened fiercely: "You once faced the oath issued by Lesguk. Now because Lesguk has committed suicide, naturally this oath no longer needs to be followed. Don't look for it again. Any excuse to escape this battle, I tell you that the tribe participating in this battle is an ally of Dionysia, and the enemy who is not participating is the enemy, choose it yourself!"

Many people secretly scolded Galney foxes for false prestige, but none of the tribes dared to take troops to leave without permission.

Guerni was not polite, and they were directly placed at the forefront of the siege.

The Dionysian coalition siege is imminent, but the leaders in Beneventum have no results because of yesterday’s argument. They did not formulate a defensive plan at all. Suddenly panicked, they took the soldiers and rushed to the city to defend, their arrangement was hurried and chaotic.

Moreover, Benevento is a big city, 2000 soldiers can not cover the entire city, and then see the enemies in the tide under the city, as well as those tall siege equipment that have never been seen, some leaders drummed and moved There was another thought.

The siege battle had just begun, and several tribes responsible for defending Nancheng opened the city gate and surrendered to the Dionysian coalition.

Abenerum’s army rushed into the city, Beneventum’s line of defense collapsed, and the tribe who resisted to the end of Leskek had to surrender when most of the casualties and the temporary leader died.

Dionysian coalition forces captured Beneventum.

……………………………………

The fall of Beneventum meant that the coalition forces led by Alexis could reach Kautim through the mountain road to the east.

The Koutini spies, who had been closely watching the battle situation in Beneventum, immediately passed the bad news back to Kautim.

The people of Kautim panicked because most of their young and middle-aged people were led by Segowani to resist another Dionyan coalition in Abella.

A few days ago, Segowani was angry with the Nakonia betrayal, so he ordered the Nakonia chiefs imprisoned in Kautim to be escorted to Abella, all beheaded, and hung the first level in the city. Head, in order to vent his anger, revenge the Naconians.

The Nakonian warriors headed by Vasunk were really angered, and they all asked Zantiparis to attack Abella City.

Zanteiparis saw that the Nakonians had a high level of warfare, and through investigation, he found that Abella was not only small, but also had poor urban defense facilities (Abella was located in the hinterland of Kaoutini, and was never threatened by foreign enemies. The upper part is surrounded by difficult mountains, the land is barren, threatened by survival, the Abella people are busy looting, and have no intention to repair the city pool), so he agreed to the request of the Nakonians and will attack Lola at the beginning. After the siege equipment used in the city was carried, the siege command was issued.

The attack was based on the Nakonian soldiers, Dionysian soldiers as the auxiliary, and the Campania soldiers as the backup.

It turned out that the generals of the Campania League Army saw that the remnants of Cautini had been driven out of the Campania Plain, and no longer threatened them, so they moved to "return to their motherland and quickly rebuild their homes." "The thoughts, they all resigned to Zanteiparis to leave. In the end, even the Neapolitan general E'Alos could not sit still, but fortunately he left behind 1,000 Naples soldiers.
