The Vigs had already suffered last year, but apparently Sedorum had not told the other Brutis about their bitter experience.

"There's a trap ahead! ……”

The momentum of the Brutis charge suddenly stopped, and just as they stopped, Dracos on the wooden wall was already ordering: "Archers, prepare!" ”

Bajilipi next to him hurriedly shouted: "General, please don't do it yet!" They are the warriors of Bessinia, let me see if I can persuade them to surrender! ”

The Second Legion was reinforced by Turiyi, increasing its strength to 9,000 men, but a third of its soldiers remained in Bissinia to prevent unrest, while Dracos invited Bachilipi to the fortress under construction. On the surface, it was to assist the soldiers of the Second Legion to familiarize themselves with the terrain, so that when the Brutis arrived, they would be able to know more about the attacking enemy; In fact, he transferred the most appealing leader of the city of Bissinia to ensure the safety of the newly occupied city. Unexpectedly, this leader could also play an unexpected role.

Dracos looked at the anxious Barchilipi, hesitated for a moment, and nodded.

Holding on to the battlements with both hands, he used all his strength to shout: "Byssinians, I am Bajilipi!" The city of Bissinia has changed owners, but your family is safe! Your parents, your wives, and your children are looking forward to your safe return! Go home, Bessina! The Dionians will not harm you, and they will accept you as Dionian citizens! Go home, your loved ones are waiting for you at home! ……”

The Bruti warriors, who were supporting their companions and advancing cautiously within fifty meters of the city, clearly heard the affectionate shouts in the Bruti language coming from the city walls.

"It's the voice of the leader of Bachilippi! ......" This voice was all too familiar to the Bessininians, and as Bachilipi had always been revered among the Bessinicans, the shouts of the wounded soldiers gradually became quieter, and the rescuers forgot about the rescue, and they listened carefully and began to whisper to each other.

Nikuru, who was in the back, knew about this and was furious: "Bachilipi, damn old fellow! Why didn't I find him so vicious before! It's him! He must have betrayed us! That's why the Ionians have taken over my city! I'm going to skin him! Eat his meat!! Kill his whole family!! ……”

Nikuru could only scold, no matter how short his temper was, he also knew at this moment that with the current state of the warriors, it was impossible to fight again, so he had to order a temporary retreat.

However, when the horn sounded, a small number of warriors lingered.

Anxious and angry, Nikuru hurriedly sent warriors from other tribes to drive them away with spears, and finally all of them withdrew from the battlefield, and almost caused a conflict.

Nikuru didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly retreated several miles.

The soldiers supported each other, sighing along the way, and the low morale can be imagined.

Seeing this on the wooden wall, Dracos did not take the opportunity to attack, because Bachilipi had given him a better idea.

The Dioonians had turned an area of 50 meters beyond the wooden wall into a trap, and his Bessinian warriors were distracted by Bachilipi's words, and Nikuru was now helpless. While he ordered the camp to be set up here, he sent scouts to report to Cosenza about the enemy's situation. After much consideration, Nikuru decided to gather the leaders of the Bissinian warriors and ask them to emphasize to the warriors: don't believe the rumors of traitors, their families have become slaves of the Greeks, and only by desperately retaking Bissinia can they regain their freedom! ……

Just as he was screaming to get his men back to boost the morale of the soldiers, the guards came in and reported that a group of Bessinian women had arrived in the barracks.

It turned out that Bachilipi gathered some of the wives of Nikuru's warriors, who belonged to the old and the young, and could not return as soon as they went, and told them: Your husbands are outside, and if you don't want them to die in battle, you have to go and call them back!

The women, guided by the Dionian soldiers, walked out of the trap and trekked for several miles, and together they came to the camp of Nikuru, where the soldiers who were guarding the camp saw that they were their own relatives, and instead of stopping them, they opened the fence and welcomed them.

As a result, there were soon touching scenes of couples crying each other. The women would tell their husbands that the Ionian soldiers had indeed not harmed a single Bessinican after taking the city, and that they had sent doctors to help the wounded, extinguish the burning flames, and repair the damaged houses...... Now order in the city has gradually been restored.

A small number of Bissinian warriors wept when they learned from the women that their families had died in battle.

In a camp, the warriors all gathered in one place, and the scene was both hilarious and somewhat comical. But for Nikuru, who only learned the news, it was terrifying.

This is a conspiracy of the Dionians! In desperation, Nikuru sent out a guard to try to isolate the women from the warriors.

He wanted to prevent the situation from escalating, but he didn't want it to escalate the conflict. Enraged by the sight of the weeping women who had been forcibly dragged away, some of whom had fallen to the ground in defiance, and the guards dragged them away, the Bissinian warriors were enraged, and they surrounded the convoy of his most trusted people from the Nikuru tribe.

These guards, who usually relied on Nikuru's power to run rampant, saw that the situation was not good at this moment, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. However, the angry warriors ignored their pleas and rushed up, beating them so hard that gradually some of the guards lost their breath under the punches and kicks of countless people, and the warriors stopped in fright when they found out, and the dying screams of the guards made some of the warriors suddenly frightened, and Nikuru's years of arrogance and obscenity began to loom over them.

"We killed Nikuru's people, and he won't spare us! Why don't we take advantage of the crowd now, grab him, and then we go home!" At this moment, a young Bisinia shouted loudly, and suddenly became the direction of the bewildered warriors.

Without doing anything, they gathered together and rushed towards Nikuru's tent.

He had no time to regret the bad news that Nikuru had received, so he hurriedly mounted his horse and fled to the area where the warriors of the other tribes lived, and demanded that they immediately send troops to quell the rebellion, which was refused.

With a thousand warriors against more than 2,000 angry Bessinian warriors, and it was not their own leader who gave the order, how could they obey the orders of the alliance elder Nikuru, who was already alone.

So, when the Vissinian warriors approached the camp, Nikuru, feeling in danger, fled on horseback again.

In the face of the other tribal warriors who were waiting for them, the Bissinians, who gradually calmed down, were afraid that Nikuru would bring troops to retaliate again, and took the initiative to retreat.

"According to what the chief of Bachilipi said, go back to Bessinia!" When the bewildered Bessinians wondered what to do next, it was the young warrior who cried out again. In fact, there is only one way for them to go.

Outside the newly built fortress of the Dionian soldiers, Bajilipi greeted the restless warriors with several old men of Vissinia's reputation.

Dracos didn't expect Bachilipi's suggestion to be so successful, which made him both excited and a little distressed, how to deal with the more than 2,000 returning Bissinian warriors was a big problem, and if he simply put them all back in the city, Dracos himself would feel uneasy. Fortunately, this time the success of the immovable sword soldiers broke up the enemy's attack and bought him time again. He was now desperate for Davers to arrive with a large army as soon as possible.

………………………

Sincinag decided to lead 6,000 Picosis warriors to Grumentum with his son Gneinat, and as he expected, the tribes in the northern part of Grumentum arrived, including the two tribes that had ambushed Bagul, Lud and Brina.

Sincinag learned the lessons of the past and treated all the tribes who came to take refuge with enthusiasm, quickly enveloping the hearts of these panicked small tribal leaders, and making his team quickly swell to tens of thousands, and continue to march south.

When the news reached the city hall of Grumentum City, Bagul, who was rumored to be "seriously wounded", was sitting on a wooden chair unharmed at the moment, looking a little worried: "Although we spread the rumors that 'Dionia and Brumin are not fighting well' and 'I am seriously wounded' in order to confuse the enemy, we did not expect that these tribes in the north would all defect to Pikosis so quickly. Ay! All the hard work you have done has been in vain! ”

Assistes sneered, "As Lord Davers said, 'In the face of danger, can you see which tribes are truly loyal to Dionia?'" Which ones are traitors again?! In the past six months, most of our energy has been spent on mediating disputes over the territory and property of these tribes, and they are all wolves that can't be fed! Now, in addition to those arranged tribes, we will wipe out all the other tribes that have betrayed us, and completely bring the territory of Grumentum City under our control! ”

"That's all Lucanian!" Bagul knew that Assistes was right, but he couldn't help but sigh again.

Assistes was stunned for a moment, and then persuaded: "Big brother, have the Lucanians had fewer civil wars before, which time was not a river of blood, otherwise your tribe would not have been forced to risk moving to Amendolara." Now, when we unify Lucania, the Lucanians, as citizens of Dionia, will no longer kill each other, and their lives will get better and better! You say, right?! ”
