"Quick! Go and call Gerney and bring someone to put out the fire immediately! Villani hurriedly called the guards to inform her son.

As soon as the guards left, he realized that he was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked the captain of the guard beside him to lead the guards to put out the fire immediately.

"Great Chief, what about your safety?" The captain of the guard was a little embarrassed: the camp was so unquiet tonight, they were gone, who would protect the big leader?

"The food is going to be gone, the whole army is in danger, what's the use of wanting my safety!!" Villani stomped her feet in a hurry.

The guards had no choice but to rush to the place where the fire started.

However, there were more than 25,000 troops in the army, and the camp stretched for seven or eight miles, and the camp was full of people and the roads were congested.

Not only was the advance slow, but the rush to move forward provoked a fight that annoyed the already panicked warriors, and the conflict was gradually expanding......

At this time, it was early winter, the air was dry, and the Dionian scouts who had infiltrated the camp had deliberately set fire, and the fire spread rapidly with the help of the wind, constantly burning the entire baggage camp, and continued to expand in all directions, lighting the surrounding wooden fences and tents......

Villani looked at the back of the fire, and a heart completely fell to the bottom of his heart.

Finished! Finished!! …… He looked sluggish and sat down on the cold ground.

However, this night was destined to be his nightmare.

"Uh!! ......" The majestic sound of trumpets suddenly sounded around the camp, followed by the sudden sound of countless people's shouts of killing......

The Pothenians could not enter the enemy camp quietly with hundreds or thousands of warriors like the Dionian Legion, but Poreert's courage and persuasion finally made Puamot make up his mind and sent 5,000 warriors. They split into five groups and quietly descended the mountain, hiding in various places outside the forward camp of Samonai.

As soon as he saw the fire, Pollette couldn't wait to let people blow the horn, and then the trumpets sounded everywhere else, and the Pothenian warriors, with the anger of revenge, bypassed the deer, climbed over the trenches, climbed over the earthen walls, and the wooden fence, at this time the Samonai camp was already panicked, and attracted attention because of the fire, and the periphery of the camp was negligent, and the Pothenians entered the camp more easily, so they all became bloodthirsty wolves, cut down when they saw the figures, stabbed when they heard the sounds, and the sounds of fighting and screams echoed throughout the camp……

The frightened Samonai people were even more frightened, and in the dark night when they couldn't see their fingers, for their own safety, they all clung to their weapons, and whenever anyone approached, they slashed and stabbed indiscriminately, and the camp was in chaos.

In such confusion, the Dionian scouts, who had long since infiltrated the camp, shouted in their learned Samonai language everywhere: "The Dionian army is here!" They're going to wipe us out, run!! ……”

The fear of the night was infinitely magnified, and finally the fighting spirit of the Samonai warriors was crushed, and like the flood of Duti, they desperately ran out of the camp. For this reason, they can push down their companions when they lose their minds, cut down their comrades who stand in their way, trample on the moaning clansmen on the ground, and become their accomplices in cannibalism in the night......

……………………………

Poammet, who had been worried about the war all night, stood on the wall and watched, and he heard the noise of Samoneh's camp, saw the fire that lit up half of the sky in the distance, and heard the earth-shattering fighting and screaming...... This scene lasted until late at night, when it gradually faded into silence......

The spies, who had gone down the hill to hear the news, came back and shouted excitedly: "The enemy has been repulsed!" The enemy was repulsed! ......" suddenly the whole city turned into a sea of joy.

Puamot was relieved, and the only thing he was worried about was the fire that was getting bigger and bigger, but because the situation was unknown in the night, he didn't dare to send someone to put out the fire rashly.

Who knew that even the gods were visiting Pothenia that night, and in the second half of the night, it actually rained.

Puamot was completely relieved, and finally slept until dawn under the constant sleepiness.

He hurried to the city, and along the way saw the smiles on the lifeless faces of his people, and they gathered together in twos and threes, excitedly talking about the battle of last night, thanking Asinu for his protection, and from time to time someone asked Puamot, "When can I move back to my original settlement?" ”

Poamat stood at the head of the city and looked down: the Samonai camp, which once stretched for ten miles and had countless military tents, had basically turned into a dark field, and clusters of green smoke surrounded the area, making Puamot not very real......

"Are Polletts back?" Puamat asked with concern the tribal leader Vale, who was on duty today.

"He didn't come back, but he sent someone back and said, 'They're going to clear the battlefield and won't be back until later.'" ”

It's good that Pollett is okay! Puamot thought happily.

……………………………

Clearing the battlefield that Pollett is talking about is not so simple. Closer to Samonay's camp, under the ashes of the fire and in the mud caused by the heavy rain, there were lying bodies of both sides of the enemy, some dead or even charred, some seriously wounded, unconscious, and some still struggling and moaning......

Last night, the Pothenian warriors led by Bruti suffered heavy losses in the chaotic battle due to their lack of experience in night raids, with nearly 2,000 casualties. After the fierce battle, they gathered more people from the city to carry the wounded and corpses back to the city, despite their fatigue, and began to clean up the ruins within a radius of ten miles.

Fill the struggling Samonai with a few stabs to confirm their deaths, while also finding their own people in the pile of enemy corpses...... The Pothenian warriors were dangerous during the search, and some of the less wounded Samonai warriors disguised themselves as "corpses" and became vulnerable when they approached. After a number of such raids, the Pothenian warriors were also more cautious, armed with spears, and when they saw a corpse, as long as it was not their own, they stabbed it a few times.

Such a vast area cannot be cleared in a short period of time. Behind these fighters, the members of the Dionian reconnaissance brigade carefully counted the casualties of the Samonai according to the divided area.

In the afternoon, the cleaning work was completed. The Samonai died 5,493 and were not wounded, because even if they had survived last night's chaos, the angry Botentian warriors would have killed them mercilessly as they cleaned up the battlefield. The rest of the Samonai fled in all directions, scattered throughout the territory around Pothenia. However, during the previous invasion of the Samonians, the area around the city of Pothenia was wiped out, and now the hungry Samonians will swallow the bitter fruit of their brewing, and how to escape the pursuit of the Portetians, endure hunger and illness, and return to their homeland safely has become a big problem for them.

The Pothenians sacrificed a lot of money and, with the full help of the Dionians, finally defeated the mighty Samoneans. After the catastrophe, they rejoiced, but there was a big surprise that was buried in the huge Samonai corpse pit by them unknowingly, the leader of Hilpine, the commander of the Samonai coalition invasion of Portetia - Villani, last night he sent the personal guards around him to maintain order and extinguish the fire, as a result, Polette led the army to attack the camp, the Samonai people were in turmoil because of panic, and the lonely and somewhat old Villani died in the chaos......

………………………………

In the early hours of the morning, in the temple of Hades in Turii, Caldias, a Silitin, got up early as usual and entered the main hall of the temple.

He had been on the side of hell for a long time, and the horrible images of hell and the hideous statues of Hades had little effect on him. He respectfully held an oil lamp and came to the seat of Hades, the perennial lamp on the oil basin in front of the statue of the god was dancing with a blue and red fire, and Hades's stern and solemn face was even more gloomy under the beating light.

Caldias looked calm, crossed his feet and lit the oil lamp in his hand, then knelt down in front of the idol of Hades, closed his eyes slightly, palms up, spread flat on the ground, and prayed to Hades, hoping that he would protect the peace of the people of Hades.

When he heard that the Syracuse had landed in Lokry, he was anxious to return to the Celestium, but was persuaded by Plesinas.

Plesinus told him that even if he returned to Siriting, it would only be an additional citizen soldier in the city-state. Here, however, he could pray day and night to the powerful and powerful King of Hell for the help of the gods.

Caldias thought that the priest in charge was right, so he remained in Turiyi. At this moment, he placed the oil lamp representing his wish on the offering table, and since it was still early and the temple had not yet opened, there was only one lone lamp on the offering table. But in the evening, the table and the floor were full of oil lamps, and every time they would clean up late.

"Caldias, you are so sincere! I'm sure Hades will respond to you! There was a voice behind him.

Caldias hurriedly turned around and saluted: "Good morning, Plesinus. ”

The temple of Hades is now almost universal to all cities in the Dionian territory, and has priests, priests, saints, and believers...... There are many people in charge of managing the temple, and there are also high and low status among each other, but in terms of mutual names, the "Hades Codex" stipulates that they can only be called by their real names, so as to demonstrate the concept of "equality of all people" in the Hades Temple.

"According to the latest battle report obtained by the Senate, the 4th and 5th Legions of Dionya repelled an attack by the Syracuse army in Coronia, and also captured a few hundred prisoners, and these captives are now on their way to Turiyi, so you don't have to worry too much, Dionia is being watched and protected by Hades!" Plecinas said with a gentle look of comfort.
