Chapter 21: The City of Fraud
Soon, when the procession reached the city, a man came out of the procession, came to the city gate, and shouted, "Open the door!" Open the door! ”
Monet recognized that it was Arrobmas, and he hurriedly poked his head out from behind the wooden wall: "Chief of Arrobmas, why didn't you see the leader of Avinokis?" ”
"My brother has to wait for me to settle the old man, the women, and the children, and then he can come back easily. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Damn Laos mongrel, pretty cautious! Monet scolded secretly, and then laughed: "You let your people camp outside first, and I will inform the Grand Leader of Ram." ”
"What?! And let's camp in the wilderness!! Arrobmas roared angrily: "It's been a long time since I walked, and the old people and children can't stand it anymore!" Let's go in and rest! ”
"Leader of Arrobmas, there are too many of you, and it will disturb the order in the city if you all come in at once, please wait for the time being." Monet cursed in his heart, but persuaded patiently.
"What?! There are so many of us! Didn't you let us move here?! Now I think there are too many of us! Good! Good! This is the attitude of Niutum towards us! Arrobmas scolded, then turned back and shouted to the others, "Go, let's go back!" ”
When Monet heard this, he panicked: the leaders had finally let the tribe of Avinogis move, and if they had been allowed to go back because of themselves, it was estimated that their good days would be over.
"Wait, Chief Arrobmas! I'll open the door right away and let you in! Still, keep things in order and don't get too chaotic! Monet hurriedly shouted.
Arobumas immediately turned around and showed a hint of a smile: "Okay, thank you for taking care of our tribe!" I'll give you five sheep as a thank you! ”
The Lucanian bribe was so direct that Monet had no worries at all, and he shouted: "Open the gates!" At the same time, he instructed his subordinates: "Go and inform the great leader of Ram at once, and say that Arrobmas is coming with his people." ”
Then Monet himself led his men to the city gate, ready to receive the thank you gift from Arrobmas.
Arobumas had the cattle and sheep driven away so as not to block the passage through the city gates, and then he really had five sheep captured and given to Monet.
Monet repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
"Captain, see if you want to slaughter one, let's have a good meal!" The subordinate said greedily.
"Don't worry, you're indispensable! Help me get these sheep home first! Monet kicked his men and cursed.
Pushed and pulled by the slaves, the carts of Arobumas passed through the city gates in an orderly manner and entered Niutum, and the convoy was mixed with slaves carrying heavy loads......
Monet watched by the city gate, felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously asked Arrobmas: "How come you have so many Lucanian slaves?" ”
Arrobmas smiled weirdly, drew his dagger and stabbed it straight at him.
The incident happened suddenly, Monet didn't have time to dodge, and watched the cold tip of the sword pierce into his chest.
"Do it!" Arobumas shouted, swinging his dagger over and over again, slashing at several of the other guards beside Monet.
The "slaves" immediately threw away their heavy loads and quickly drew their weapons from the pack carts.
"Murder!"
"The Laos are rioting!"
……
Seeing this scene, the people of Niutum, who were watching the bustle, screamed and fled in all directions.
Bagul, at the head of the pack, ordered Lizaru to lead some of his soldiers to the wooden ladders on both sides, to deal with the few sentinels at the head of the city, and to control the city gates. And he and Assistes quickly gathered the rest of the soldiers of the fourth brigade, and under the leadership of Arrobmas, they attacked forward.
The other brigades, receiving news of the attack, immediately marched towards the city of Niutum.
…………………
Ram received a report from his men that Avinokis had moved his people first. couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he didn't dare to be good at it, so he had to call the other leaders to discuss how to divide the Avenogis tribe, after all, his strength was the weakest among the several leaders, and the reason why he was elected as the big leader was complicated.
After the death of the previous great leader Utre, several leaders of Niutum almost fought because of the competition for the position of the great chief, and seeing that war was about to break out, Tula, the great leader of Laos, sent urgent news: Avinokis is in danger of rebellion! The leaders were well aware of the importance of the Laos team to Niutum, and if Avinokis succeeded in rebelling and taking Laos, then Niutum would be in danger of running out of food. Moreover, Laos is a stone city, the city is thick and strong, it is difficult to capture Laos with the strength in their hands, and they have to ask for help from neighboring Grummentum, but now the situation between Grumentum and Pikosis is also tense, and a war is about to break out, and it is impossible to give help to Niutum in a short time. In the face of the crisis and the mediation of the priests, they finally reached an agreement, and for the sake of balance, Ram, who was the weakest and did not participate in the competition for the position of the great leader in the first place, was chosen as the great leader, so that the new high leader had to rely on them.
When the Great Chief, Ram, finally waited for the belated tribal leaders to gather and was about to start discussing, his subordinates rushed in in a panic: "Oh no, Great Chief! Oh no! Enemy...... The enemy has entered the city! ”
All the princes were so shocked that they all stood up.
"What's going on?! Where did the enemy come from?! One of the leaders asked urgently.
"Ah...... Arrobmas has rebelled! He also attracted the Greeks! ”
"What ?!!" The panicked leaders knocked over the tables and chairs, and rushed out one by one.
"How many enemies are there?" Ram asked.
"To ...... There are enemies everywhere, too many to count! They...... They've already killed the Wolf Ghetto! ”
The Wolf tribe is now the most powerful tribe in the city, and it has been conquered! Ram sat on a wooden chair in despair and said to himself, "It's over...... It's over......"
Under the swift and courageous offensive of the Tua League's brigades, the scattered Niutum warriors were defeated and finally forced to retreat to the sacred forest, where the Niutum worshiped the gods.
The Tua soldiers surrounded him, and at Bagul's reminder, Phellisius did not give the order for a storm, but began to surrender.
"Abinou! Ksima! Uraza! Are you there?! I'm Bagul! Abinou! Ksima! Uraza! Are you there?! I'm Bagul! ......" Bagul stood in front of the sacred grove and shouted loudly, repeating it several times, and finally someone responded from the other side of the city wall: "Bagul? Are you Bagul?! You're alive?! ”
"Mount Asinu God bless! Not only am I alive, but I am alive and well! Surrender with your people, Ksima, and the rest of Lucalian! I assure you, you will not be harmed in any way! Bagul's sonorous voice echoed in the silent Sacred Forest.
After a while, there were sounds of fighting and screams inside.
Phellisius looked at Bagul, who nodded and gestured: It's okay.
Soon the sacred forest was quiet again, and then the gate opened, and a tall young man was the first to cautiously walk out, looking around.
"Ksima, I'm here!" Bagul strode forward.
"Bagul?!" Xsima exclaimed in surprise, and in his eyes: Bagul was dressed in blood-stained Greek armor, and his right hand was surrounded by a delicate helmet with purple hats.
"You became a Greek?!" Ksima hesitated to hug Bagul.
"No, I'm a Tua citizen now, but I'm still a Lucanian!" Bagul let go of him, corrected, then pointed to his side and said in Greek, "Come and see my commander Phaelicus!" ”
Apparently he knew Greek, and he hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly came to salute at Bagul's repeated urgings.
"What's going on inside?" Felicius asked bluntly.
"Ram they've been caught by us, we're ...... Willing to surrender......" Maxima whispered, forced by the momentum of the heavily armed Phellisius.
"Then let them come out and surrender!" Pherisius ordered.
Ksima cast a pleading look at Bagul.
"Don't worry, a tribe like you who is forced to join Niutum will be fine, the tribe that was originally in this city will have to suffer a little!" Bagul made a promise to them.
Ksima relented, then whistled sharply towards the Sacred Grove.
The door opened again, and Lucania rushed out......
…………………
After a noon break, Pherisius, at the repeated request of Arobumas, left the 2nd and 4th Brigades to stabilize the situation in the city, and then led the 3rd and 7th Brigades south to assist Avinogis in capturing Laos.
According to the new provisions of the Civil Service Law, the post of city administrator can only be selected from among the senators of the Senate. When Davers consulted with the former governor of Neutum, the senators of the original Turiyi and Amendolara were still suspicious of the Lucanians, and no one was willing to take up the post, so they could only choose from the elders of the original mercenaries: Felicios, as the military officer of the Tua Alliance, must return to Turiyi immediately after completing this battle, and there is still a lot of military work to be done; The 1st Brigade remained in Turiyi; Captain Dracos, Captain Hieronymus of Captain No. 3, and Captain Epitenis of Seventh Brigade, did not have much interest in government affairs; The fourth captain, Bagul, had just become a citizen of the League and a native of Lucania, so he was not fit to be the administrator of Niutum for the time being...... After all the calculations, it was Cesta, the captain of the first company of the second brigade, who was suitable.
Interested in administrative matters and modest and studious, Sesta quickly became familiar with and mastered the work of firefighting during his tenure as the deputy chief of fire in Amendolara, and the fire chief, Anticles, also volunteered to be virtuous.
So, Davers proposed: after the capture of Niutum, let Sesta take the post of administrator of Niutum.
