Chapter 40: Night Attack
"What's going on?" Nieonsis asked, confused. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There was a loud bang, the door was pushed open, and the guards rushed in with a look of ecstasy: "Report to the generals, the scouts are back, they said...... They said...... They say the mercenaries have won! The Lucanian coalition has been wiped out!! β
"It's true?!" The generals could hardly believe their ears and asked in unison.
"The scouts are right outside the door, and they have also made a special trip to the Great River Beach, where the mercenaries fought against the Lucanians, and said that it is full of Lucanian corpses!!"
"Unbelievable! It's unbelievable! They actually really won!! As if in a dream, Nessis muttered.
"How did they do it?!" Kunogorata had been on the battlefield yesterday, and the ferocity of Lucania's warriors still terrified him, not to mention that he was well aware of the disparity in strength between the two sides, so the news of the victory was a miracle for him.
"What kind of person is Davers?" At this moment, Ansitanos was interested in learning more about the magical mercenary leader.
Polyxis immediately remembered the smiling young man he had seen on the ship of Burkos, but he did not expect that this harmless young man had actually wiped out the Lucalian coalition army, which Turiyi regarded as a flood of beasts, and saved the city of Turiyi, which was in danger.
"He's a young man, but among the mercenaries it's rumored that he's a god of Hades! Also call him a miracle worker! On his way back from Persia...... "Burkos, who had been in the town hall until before being criticized by the generals, spoke out with great pride what he had heard about the heroic deeds of Davers, and only one voice stirred and boiled in his heart: he did it! He really did it!!
The generals did not laugh at these seemingly ridiculous rumors, nor did they face the jealous and excited gaze of Bulkos, and strode out of the hall.
On the square of the city hall, countless women, children, and elderly people dressed in black veils and mourning, who were full of sadness, shouted victory at the moment, and some even cried, but they were tears of joy. The gloom that shrouded the hearts of the people of Turii was now gone.
The scouts also brought a message from Davers: they hoped that Turii would send someone to clean up the battlefield and bury the corpses to prevent the plague.
Out of prudence, the generals decided to send someone to the battlefield to check first. This time, Nesis personally led the team, and when he arrived at the big river beach, he gasped at the sight in front of him: the area of the big river beach, including the hot springs, became a red river of blood, and naked corpses were accumulated in the blood water (the mercenaries stripped the armor and weapons of the deceased), and it was a hell on earth......
"It's a terrible miracle!" Neonsis shuddered all over: "Terrible Hades Divine Favorite! β¦β¦β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In order to thank Davers, Acheta, and the leaders and generals of Dracos, Adrianx, and Sesta for their contribution to Turiyi, the generals and councils decided to send Burkos to accompany Ansitanos to the mercenary camp and invite them to the city of Turiyi to participate in the celebration of victory, and to accept the gratitude of the people of Turiyi. At the same time, he also brought 100 cans of wine and 50 cans of olive oil to reward the soldiers.
The group rushed to the camp, but was stopped by the guards, who claimed that the leaders and soldiers were extremely tired after a day of fierce fighting, and that most of them had now fallen asleep to recuperate, so the guards had been told not to let anyone in to prevent accidents.
Bulks tried to persuade him, but the doorman insisted. Burkos had been to the Davers camp a few times before, and he knew that the military regulations here were very strict, and the camp was indeed unusually quiet, so Turiyi and his party had to leave.
Next, they found Acheta.
Acheta received them happily, but when they explained their intentions, Acheta looked embarrassed and said: "Don't hide it from you, this victory is entirely due to the genius of Davers, and the Tarantum reinforcements are only assisting from the side, if Davers doesn't go, of course he can't go, so as not to be ridiculed!" β
Ansitanos had no choice but to decide to come back tomorrow to invite.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The mercenary soldiers were indeed forced to rest, but the mercenary officers, as well as Adrianx and Cesta, were now concentrated in Davers's tent.
After receiving the return from the guards, Davers smiled: "Turii used to be wary of us like a thief, and now he wants to curry favor with us, isn't it a little late!" β
"Yes, I hate the faces of the Turiyi, and it's not for them that we annihilated the Lucanians." Amintas said disdainfully.
"It's a pity to miss the celebration of Turii, maybe there are a lot of beautiful Turriyi girls who are looking forward to the leader!" Oliver's words drew laughter from everyone.
Davers looked at him amusedly, "Why don't I give you this chance?" β
"I can't." Oliver shook his head vigorously: "It's Turriyi who invited Davers from Megatron Lucania, not a small person like me. I'd better continue to sleep in the camp! Oliver's funny appearance caused everyone to burst into laughter.
"Chief, we still have to get on good terms with Turii, after all, it will become our neighbor in the future." Pherisius reminded.
Davers nodded, his gaze fell on Adrianx and Sesta, and asked with concern, "How's the situation with Drax?" β
"Under Herps's treatment, he is much better, and he told us to follow your command!" Cesta said gratefully, and Adriankos nodded as well.
Of course, Davers heard that Sesta was expressing his obedience to Davers through Dracos's mouth, and he immediately said, "That's great, we don't want to lose a warrior like Dracos!" If he hadn't stood at the forefront of the defensive line, resisting the enemy's attack and boosting the morale of the soldiers, the northern defense line would probably have been breached! ......" After complimenting Dracos, he looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice, "I'll reiterate my battle plan for tonight!" β
The crowd immediately stopped laughing and stared at Davers intently.
Davos picked up the stick and pointed to the wooden table, on which there was a model of the city made of clay: "At two o'clock in the evening tonight, the whole army will leave camp for Amendolala, and wait for the Sisno River, Shilos!" β
"In!"
"Don't let us build that stone wall in vain, I hope your ten days of training will be effective."
"Chief, don't worry!" Shilos said confidently: "The soldiers will use rope hooks to climb the city wall and open the city gates in the shortest possible time!" β
Davers nodded, and then said, "In case it is discovered by the enemy, the sneak attack will be blocked." Kapuse, Antonio, your two companies carry long ladders, Alexis and your company carry the crashing wood as fast as possible, rush to the city and carry out a strong attack! β
"Yes!" The three of them replied dryly.
"Once the gates are opened, Amintath, your company will be the vanguard and break through the enemy's defenses as fast as possible and enter the city!"
"It's finally my turn!" Amintas grinned.
"After entering the city, all the troops followed my previous arrangement, under the leadership of Amendolara's guide, along these two mountain roads, and quickly attacked to the top of the mountain." Davers pointed to a place on the model of the city with a stick: "According to the Amendolars, there are not many large, flat places in this mountain city, only the senate, the square, and the temple on the top of the hill, so it is very likely that these three places are the places where the Lucanians held the people of Amendolara and their own military camp." You must take these places as quickly as possible, do you know?! β
"Clear!!" The crowd shouted in unison.
At this time, Alexis asked, "When can we light the torches?" β
"Good question!" Davers realized that he had missed an important matter, and after a moment of contemplation, he said: "The gates of the city are opened, or the sneak attack fails, and it can be set on fire when the assault is carried out!" Ladies and gentlemenβ" said Davers in an accentuated tone, "to-morrow, Turii may ask us for help in retaking Amendora, or perhaps the Lucanians will flee from Amendora, so we have only this night!" Only if we recapture Amendolara from the Lucanians on our own can he become our spoils of war, and we can save a lot of trouble and truly become the masters of Amendolara! So tonight we are only allowed to succeed and not to fail!! β
"Ho !!"
