Chapter 32: The Dark Tide

Both Sincinag and Sedorum have their eyes set on Akpiru. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Akberu watched all this, and his heart was clear: there must be a Vig who didn't fight with all their might, after all, they were Brutis, not Lucalians. Of course, what Sedorum said may also be true, they saved the right wing and contributed to the victory of the battle! He knows Sincinag very well, and his style is to be greedy and cheap, and it is not surprising that he can perform like this. It was his duty as the leader of the alliance to reward and punish the faults, but he could not really do it according to the covenant. Picosis is Grummentum's most important ally, and it is thanks to its support that Grummentum is as strong as it is today. What's more, Picosis is also a powerful tribal union in the Lucanian region, and criticizing or even punishing the great leader of Pikosis in front of the Brutis will inevitably lead to Picosis' dissatisfaction, which will centrifuge the Lucanian tribal alliance.

The area inhabited by the Bruti people borders the southern part of Lucania, and its tribes are separate and not united, so they are weaker, and it is the next target of Grumentum after defeating Turiyi and occupying the Sybari Plain, Vig is the city of Bruti that is closest to Lucaria's territory, and its initiative to take refuge (under the threat of the army of the Lucanian Tribal Alliance) makes Grumentum have a springboard to enter the Bruti area, so it can't be too harsh, but it can't be confused about its position, Because the Lucanians are masters, and the Brutis are doomed to be enslaved! ……

After making up his mind, he slowly said, "Being able to win this battle is the result of everyone's joint efforts!" When I occupy this place, I will give you each a good spoils of war according to your merits! Butβ€”" His piercing gaze made Sedorum tremble, "As an ally, killing a comrade who fought alongside him is an ugly act of breaking a promise, and the gods will punish him!" So Vig City must pay a fine enough to satisfy Picosis to compensate for their losses! At the same time, the lives of the same number of Vig warriors will be sacrificed as a burial! ”

"What !!" When the Vig warriors present heard this, they all blew up and shouted angrily.

Grummentum and the Pikosis warriors immediately surrounded them.

"Sedorum, do you agree or disagree with my decision?!" Akpiru looked at the Grand Leader of Vig City with a cold gaze.

Sedorum bowed his head, his fists clenched, his face pale, his forehead covered with beads of sweat, and he was silent.

"Great Chief, you can't say yes! The Lucanians have bullied us so much, we won't do it! Let's go back!! Saru shouted angrily.

"That's right! Let's go back! Big Chief, let's go back!! ......" the Vig warriors were furious.

"Go back?!" Sincinag sneered and said to Akpiru: "You see, the Brutis are really unreliable, and they want to withdraw from the alliance they swore to join in the face of the gods so quickly! In that case, it's better to ......"

Hearing this, Sedorum was startled, and he jerked his head up, just as he saw the hideous sneer on Sincinag's face and Akpiru's cold and hard expression.

He looked around, and the Lucanians raised their shields and spears to besiege his people, and although the warriors of Vig City struggled desperately, they were too few in number, wearing only leather armor, no brass shields, only a spear, and too poorly equipped...... The nails of Sedorum's hands were digging deep into his palms...... He struggled to squeeze out a sentence: "I...... I agree ......"

"Big Boss!! ......" The cry of mourning from the Vig warriors was like a sledgehammer, and the sound of it struck Sedorum's already fragile heart, and he staggered a few steps and sat down on the ground.

"Utreer will supervise the execution of the punishment." Akpiru said he was worried that Sincinag would provoke the Burutis again and cause a riot, so he chose a neutral.

"Okay." Utl, the Grand Chieftain of Niutum, replied.

"When I occupy this place, I will allocate a piece of land in the Sybari Plain to Sedorum and your people to graze cattle and sheep according to the merits of Vig City, which is much more fertile than the land of Bruti!" After Akpiru made the punishment, he gave Vig another sweetheart.

"Thank you...... The Great Chieftain ...... "Sedorum endured his grief and thanked him.

Akpiru did not wait for Sincinag to speak, and asked kindly: "Gneinat, my dear child, how are your injuries?" ”

Gneinat endured the pain and straightened his chest: "Great chief, I'm fine, it's all flesh wounds." ”

"Well, you have to protect yourself, I don't want my dear daughter to become a widow at a young age, I'm still waiting to hold my grandson!" Akpiru laughed, and the warriors around him laughed alongside him, much to Gnet's embarrassment and shyness.

Sincinag breathed a sigh of relief, since Akpiru still valued Gnainat, then the promise he had promised Picosis would not change because of this setback.

"What is the first warrior of Lucania, who was so embarrassed by the Greeks with a much smaller number, it is a shame for the Lucanians!" Mockery came from the laughter of the warriors.

Gneinat followed the sound and saw that it was Severa, the leader of a tribe in Grummentum City, who had proposed to Akpiru's daughter, but the great leader had married his daughter to Gneenat based on tribal interests, and Severa had no good face when he saw him.

Not to be outdone, Gneinat said: "If you have the ability to attack, I don't believe you can take this camp!" ”

"Alright, I'll show you the power of our Grummentum warriors!" Provoked, Severa turned around and shouted, "Brothersβ€”"

"Enough, Severa!" Akpiru's low, majestic voice immediately stopped the impulse of his young leader: "Let's go back to the camp!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Sincinag shouted first: "Go back now?!" Aren't we going to attack this camp?! ”

Akpiru looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost dusk, and the warriors are tired. We have slain the last of the Turriyi's citizen soldiers, and they are powerless to prevent us Lucanians from taking root in the land. When we get back, take care of the wounded, recover our strength, and prepare our tools, tomorrow we will build a city here, a city of Lucania! Akpiru's voice became a little impassioned: "These mercenaries are not worth our worry at all, as long as they dare to come out, we will defeat them; If they don't come out, we can block them so that they don't have the support of Turiyi, and they will naturally be finished; As for those Tarantum reinforcements, I heard that the relationship between Tarantum City and the Mesapi people is tense now, and they will not stay here for long! ”

The people around him were thoughtful.

Utre asked, "Akpiru, aren't we going to Amendolala?" ”

"I'll go back tomorrow." Akpiru glanced at Sincinag, although he didn't take mercenaries in his eyes on the surface, in fact, the combat effectiveness of this team still surprised him a little: the tribe that captured Amendora did not join the Lucanian tribal coalition according to his orders, if he led the army over at this moment, Amendolara was likely to refuse to open the city gate, although his strength was more than ten times that of the other party, but the siege was not what the Lucarians were good at, not to mention that it was still a mountain city, once it could not be captured quickly, at night, The warriors were extremely tired, had not eaten, were threatened with mercenaries and Tarantum reinforcements behind them, and had a group of unstable Vigs in their ranks, fearing that something unexpected might happen. Why take this risk when the Lucanian tribal alliance is firmly overpowered.

"If the leader of that small tribe in Amendolara is smart, they should flee back into the mountains tonight as they did last time, or tomorrow I will let them know who is in charge of the Lucania region now!" A bloodthirsty sneer appeared on Akpiru's face.

Hearing this, Sincinag's face twitched a few times.
