Chapter 126: Sedorum

After Davers calmed down, he asked, "Kaps, is it the First Legion that is in charge of the Bruti prisoners at night?" ”

"Yes."

"Try to make them as comfortable as possible without letting them escape."

Kapouls hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll do my best." ”

"You know, although they were enemies before, after this battle...... Well...... It is certain that it will not be long before the Brutis will become their own. In order for this process of transformation to go more smoothly and not increase hatred, we must make an effort. Davers patiently explained to Capus that war has always been a continuation of politics, and that Davers's position dictated that he had to look further and think more comprehensively.

Trifias and Gorgeth glanced at each other, and the continued growth of the Dionian alliance should be a good thing for Heraclia and CastelΓ³n.

"In a moment, I may send someone to help you pacify these Buranti captives. I'm not sure if he's willing to help out, though? Davers rubbed his chin and groaned.

Capuz wondered who Davers was talking about, but he didn't ask.

"How's it going at the medical camp?" Davers remembered another question.

"There are too many wounded! Stacikodas: They were too busy to rest, and now it was Epitenis who sent light infantry and freedmen to help the medical battalion carry the wounded......" Antonios said worriedly.

"That means that no one cares about those wounded Buruti soldiers?!" Davers' eyes widened, and he immediately thought of the seriousness of the problem: "Hmm...... Antonios, you go to Stacy Kodas at once, and say that it is my order, and he will draw out one or two doctors anyway...... At the same time, the First Army Corps was asked to draw 1,000 infantry as an auxiliary force, and first carry out simple debridement, bandaging and other external wound treatment on Bruti's wounded soldiers. ”

"Okay." Antonios quickly turned and walked away.

"And ...... Tolmid, I will write two letters at once, and you will have the herald carry the letters and return to Turiyi as soon as possible, and hand them over to Herps and Mersis, and I will ask them to send as many doctors and nurses as possible, and bring in as many herbs, medical supplies, and food as possible......"

After the generals went to complete the assigned tasks, Davers had time to face Trifias and Gorkis alone: "Two adults, I'm really sorry! I didn't expect that after the victory in this battle, there would be so many things that made you wait for a long time. ”

"It's nothing." Trifias praised earnestly, "It gave me a chance to see the extraordinary management skills of the Archon of Dionia!" And I really didn't expect that after a battle, there would be so many things to deal with, the medical treatment of the wounded, the handling of prisoners, the construction of camps, the arrangement of sentry posts...... I really learned a lot of military knowledge. ”

Trifias's words came from the bottom of his heart, and Gorkis next to him felt the same way. Indeed, the Greek city-states of this era had battles, mostly near the territory of the alliance, and the requirements for logistics were not high, so they did not pay much attention to it, only strong states such as Athens, Sparta, and Syracuse, because they needed to fight abroad for a long time, would have higher requirements for army logistics, but even so, there would be a shortage of food for soldiers from time to time. Davers felt that the logistics of the Dionian army were still relatively sloppy and imperfect, but in Trifias's opinion, it was already a very complicated arrangement.

Therefore, Davers just smiled and said, "This battle is thanks to the full support of Heraclia and Castron!" With this victory, it is believed that the war with Bruti will soon be over, and then the clerk of our baggage battalion will carefully count the spoils of war and distribute them to you in proportion. ”

Castron had already worked with Dionya two or three times, and Gorgeth was reassured of Dionia's credit.

Heraclia was wealthy, and Trifias had little interest in the spoils of war, and of course it was not in vain for the citizens to come in vain, so as not to go back and complain. He was more concerned about something else: "Lord Davers, I have a request too. ”

"Tell me."

"Can the officers of Dionya use your fighting methods to help train the citizens of Heraclia?" Trifias was a little embarrassed, and explained: "Because during the battle, I found that the way Deoria fought was very different from that of our Heraclia and CastelΓ³n, and this difference in battle greatly affected the coordination between the various units, so ......" In fact, at the beginning of this battle, it was the 3,000 Dionian reservists who resisted the charge of the Brutis and played the role of the mainstay of the right flank in the ensuing battle. The reserves are still like this, and the strength of the Dionian Legion can be imagined, which is what made Trifias determined and demanded.

Davers was surprised on the surface, but rejoiced in his heart: finally an allied city-state had made such a request!

He asked with a feigned hesitation: "Does the Senate of Heraclea approve of this?" ”

"I'll get them to agree!" Trifias said firmly.

"In that case, when the war with Bruti is over, I will have the military officer Pherisius consult with you about training." Davers said half-jokingly, half-seriously, "Lord Trifias, but Dionia's military training is very strict, so you have to prepare the citizens of Heraclia in advance. ”

With Heraclia as an example, Gorgeth was not far behind and made the same request to Daves.

After seeing off Trifias and Gorgeis, Davers felt very tired, but he could not rest yet, for there was a man he had to meet: "Go and bring the big man Bruti that Ryders has captured." ”

…………………………

Sedorum regretted that he had not prayed to the goddess Amara before the expedition, so that he tripped and fell off his horse on the way to escape, and then his personal guard was scattered by the swarm, and he struggled from under his wounded horse, only to be the target of the pursuing Dionian cavalry because of his different attire from the ordinary Bruti warriors.

After becoming a prisoner, he did not hide it and directly said his name.

Now, he was tied his hands behind his back, and was escorted forward by the Dionian soldiers, and in the distance he saw a golden military flag erected on the grassy slope, hundreds of soldiers stood in two columns, and one person sat under the military flag, which should be the Dionian consul Davers.

Sedorum thought to himself, his steps unconsciously quickened.

As they approached, the two looked at each other face to face, Sedorum was amazed at Davers's youth, and Davers was amazed at Sedorum's age, as far as he knew, the great leader of Vig City was not yet 50 years old.

Davers spoke first, "Untie him." ”

Sedorum rubbed his wrist, which was red by the rope, and took another step forward.

Davers sat still.

Sedorum raised his eyebrows: "You're not afraid that I will attack you?" ”

Davers smiled slightly: "You can speak Greek, so you save me the trouble of finding a translator." I don't want to look up at people, so you can sit down. ”

His voice is not loud, but it has an irresistible power.

Sedorum hesitated and sat down reluctantly.

Behind Davers, Maltius breathed a sigh of relief.

"Answer your question." Davers said unhurriedly: "First, I have a brave guard, and it is difficult for you to succeed; Second, even if you succeed, not only will the Brutis be unsolvable, but the angry Dionian soldiers will inflict unimaginable punishment on the people of the land! ”

Sedorum snorted, "Aren't the Dioonians now usurping our land, slaughtering our people, and robbing our belongings!" If I can beat the leader who started the war, at least I can make the Brutis happy for a while! ”

"Are the Brutis victims?" Davers said sternly: "No! For decades, the Brutis have never stopped raiding and plundering the Greek city-states, and you have killed countless Greek families! Now that we Greeks have finally come to take revenge, you feel wronged, what a joke! ”

"You Greeks are outsiders and have usurped our land. We...... Of course we're going to take it back! Not to be outdone, Sedorum retorted.

"As far as I know, you Brutis originally lived in the middle of Italy, but only moved here more than 200 years ago, drove out the original inhabitants of this land, settled down, and now claim to be the owners of the land in southern Italy. Or hubris? Davers sneered.

"You talk nonsense!" Sedorum shouted in a bit of frustration.

"It seems that you really don't know, but fortunately the Greeks have written and recorded the events that have happened here for hundreds of years, and the scholars of Turiy have collected records of other city-states. If you go to the city of Turii one day, you can see a detailed historical account of the Burulti people. ”

As for the affairs of the Brutis, Davers really asked Ansitanos in detail, so Sedorum saw that Davers looked serious, seemed a little deflated, and said simply: "What are you going to do with us?" ”

"Do you mean the captured Brutis, or what you call the Bruti Alliance?"

"Of course, we were unfortunately captured." Not to be outdone, Sedorum said: "Although we have lost the battle, as long as Pianren and them defend the city with all their might, no matter how many of your soldiers there are, it will be difficult to break through the strong city of Cosenza, and in the end you can only retreat with all food." ”

"Don't worry, we'll easily break through the city of Cosenza!" Davers said confidently.
