"Lord Shiros, don't worry, I will definitely make the people loyal to the alliance and satisfy you and the Senate!" The excited Vitotiru immediately expressed his position to Shiros.

"Vitotiru, you traitor!" Kadurk's eyes widened in anger, and he hated to eat the old fellow he had always trusted.

"You are the traitor, our traitor to Dionia! The people are happy to enjoy a peaceful life under the rule of the Alliance, and you are pushing us into war! Vitotiru pointed at him and scolded him.

"Shut his mouth!" At Shiros's reminder, the soldiers gagged Kadurk's mouth, which was still about to scream, with rags, so that his anger and fear could only turn into a low "woo" grunt......

………………………………………

Shilos returned to the city of Cosenzane, just in time to see the cavalry that had arrived from the starry night of Turiy, who did not catch up with Petarus, but they brought orders from the Senate. Shilos has already acted, and the fate of the Senate is equivalent to a confirmation of the back-up.

As Shilos approached the town hall, Adepigis greeted him and asked urgently, "Did you catch anyone?" ”

"Caught Kadurk." Shilos said gratefully, "Thanks to the news that you risked your life!" ”

You must know that it is taboo to travel at night in the Bruti area, let alone ride a horse at night, wrestling is secondary, and the most terrible thing is the beast that roams in the wilderness. Adpigis was well aware of this, and in order to prevent accidents, he borrowed another horse from Bissinia, and galloped to Cosenza with two horses, and sure enough, he stepped off the horse and sprained his front hooves in the middle of the way. He immediately changed horses and drove the wounded horse away from the avenue (who knew that the wounded horse later returned to the side of the avenue and was eaten by wolves, which also made Petaru and the others more vigilant), and finally brought the news to Shilos.

Listening to Shiros's praise, Adepigis did not show a trace of pride, he was no longer the lowly slave he had been. As the intelligence officer arranged by Davers in the Bruti area, several administrators of Bruti towns had to rely on his intelligence to keep abreast of the movements of the tribes in the area and take measures in advance to ensure that there was no chaos in the area, so they did not dare to underestimate him, not to mention that there was still Davers standing behind him.

"Has Hegesitus returned?" Shilos asked.

"There's no news from him yet." Adepigis replied.

Hegesitus was the leader of the survivors of the Siru tribe. After Dionya's conquest of Bruti, Davos placed the Siru tribe near the city of Cosenza and made Hegesitus the Inquisitor (mid-level) of Cosenza. In fact, because he knew the region very well, and was more like an assistant to the governor of Cosenza, many of the measures that would help stabilize the region were suggested by him. When a conflict arises, it is he who mediates first and foremost, and he becomes a powerful arm of the governor of Cosenza.

"It seems that what Kadurk's men said may be true, Petaru did not come to Cosenza, but went directly to the south." Shilos strode into the town hall.

In the office room belonging to the chief executive, Hieronimus was waiting anxiously. He had only arrived in Cosenza this afternoon, and had not yet begun to recruit soldiers, only to receive a notification from Shilos in the evening that there might be a rebellion.

He was both surprised and excited, and felt that he could finally be useful.

At this time, Shiros, who knew the character of Hieronymus, did not be polite after entering the house, and said bluntly: "Kadurk was caught, and he admitted the fact of 'preparing a rebellion', but Bergam and Petaru were not caught!" Shilos said regretfully, and went straight to the back of his desk, where a large map of the Bruti region hung on the wall.

Shilos pointed to the lower left of the map and continued: "Bergam must have gone to the Ambalya region, where he has been a great chief for more than 20 years and has a high prestige. Although after Bruti joined our alliance, he demolished the city of Ambaria (Davers thought that the city of Ambaria was remote, the land was barren, and could not accommodate too many people, and that building a city would be too wasteful of administrative resources and would increase the risk of rebellion, so it was demolished after discussion by the Senate), and the tribes there were relocated several times, and now Ambaria still has a population of about ...... Uh-"

"There are about 5,000 people in the Ambalya region, and even if they were all persuaded by Bergam, they would only be able to muster more than a thousand warriors." Adepigis, who then entered the house, immediately added.

After all, Shilos has only been in Bruti for a month, and he only has a preliminary understanding of the situation here, of course, he is not familiar with Adepigis, who has been rooted in Bruti for many years, so he generously gave up his position and motioned for Adepigis to give a detailed introduction.

"If Petaru doesn't come to Cosenza, then he will definitely go here-" Adapigis didn't refuse, and went straight to the map, pointing to the left side of the map: "There is a tribe under his jurisdiction here, with a population of about 6,000 people. If you are going to crusade against the rebellion, I suggest attacking here first, although this tribe is farther away from Cosenza, it is still located on the Kosenza plateau, and there are other tribes living around, and if you rebel, it will have a great impact on the surrounding tribes. The key is that it is also close to Klapettia, and it can escape from Bruti at any time through the mountain trail and join the Syracuses, which will have a very bad result.

Most of the Ambalya tribes surround the Chechita Lake, and some tribes live in the mountains, and it will take a lot of time for Bergarm to gather them, and we only need to block the road leading from Ambalya to the Cosenza Plateau, and Bergam can only risk crossing the mountains and entering the Cosenza Plateau, or following the rugged river valley east to the city of Aspraustum. Adepigis faced the two senators, but he spoke his opinion very confidently.

"That's a good point!" Shilos praised loudly: "I think we can do what Adepigis said." ”

Hieronymus nodded, and then said, "How many do you give me?" ”

He was brief, but Shiros understood what he meant: after all, he was the governor of Cosenza, and to sit in the central city of Bruti, the task of crusade could only be carried out by Hieronymus.

"Tomorrow, I can recruit 2,000 independent Buranti militia from inside Cosenza, and a thousand from the tribes outside the city, and try to assemble by noon. I can't give you any more troops, because I need some soldiers to garrison Cosenza, in case other tribes are affected by this and riots. Shilos said in a deep voice.

"3,000 people are enough." Hieronymus replied dryly, and then pointed to Adpigis: "I want you to come with me." ”

"I would be more than pleased, Lord Hieronymus!" Adapigis replied happily.

"Tomorrow morning, I will send messengers to Knappetia and Vig to inform the two Lords, Assistes and Saru, that they may be on their guard and cooperate with you as much as possible. In addition, I will send someone back to Turriyi, and go to the Senate to inform Lord Agasia of Sprustum City, and watch out for these traitors slipping away from the river valley! In the end, Shilos said what he had planned.

………………………………………

The next day, Hieronymus led a rapid march south with a gathered reserve of 3,000 soldiers......

Petaru was quick enough to persuade more than half of his tribe to follow him and defect from the Dionian League. And he also sent people to spread among the surrounding tribes that "the army of Syracuse has invaded the territory of Dionia, and the Dionian army has been defeated and is about to perish!" ......" and other such rumors have caused panic in people's hearts.

Even some tribal leaders came anxiously to ask him for advice.

He took the opportunity to talk about the many discrimination he still suffered in Turiyi during his years as the head of the Buruti tribe and the patriarch of the Senate, as well as the grievances in his heart. said the sad place, and even had tears in his eyes.

His words echoed the concerns of the chiefs: Dionia's deliberate and constant enactment of laws was hastening the disintegration of the tribe, and even Petaru, who had become the senator of the Senate, was forced to do so, let alone them.

So some of the leaders began to consider whether to follow Petaru in the rebellion against Dionia's rule.

Just as Petaru was rejoicing in the success of his plan and plotting to establish an anti-Dionian Bulanti tribal alliance and set off a frenzy of rebellion against Dionyas throughout the Cosenza Plateau, Hieronymus' army approached.

Petaru, who didn't know anything about what happened to the Kadurk tribe last night, was shocked, originally in their imagination, the Senate would not confirm their disappearance until at least today, and the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that they would send people to the tribe to look for them, and by then they would have already prepared for it, and they could take advantage of the fact that the army of Syracuse was pressing the border and the Dionian territory was empty, and they could have a good deal with the Dionians in Bruti. However, the Dionian army had come so quickly that it was completely unexpected, and the slightest apprehension from last night had come true.

Petaru hurriedly sent people out, wanting to argue with the generals of the unified army and buy time for himself.

Who knows, Hieronymus didn't pay attention to it at all, and directly led his army to break into the tribal settlement and capture Petaru.

A panicked Petaru sent his people up to stop him, but he quietly rode his horse and tried to escape.

The hastily assembled force was crushed by Hieronymus, and then stared at Petaru in pursuit.

Eventually, Petaru's mount was shot by an arrow, throwing him off his horse and captured by Hieronymus.

Hieronymus tied him and nearly a thousand of his rebellious people with ropes, strung them into several long rows, and drove them between the various tribal settlements driven by spears and spears, and all the tribal leaders who saw this scene were nervous and their legs trembled.
