Fjaristocrates understood that the "Turiyi tragedy" that Davos was referring to two years earlier when Turii had recklessly entered the mountains against the Lucarians, and all of them had died on the banks of the La River.

He thought about it, and was still a little unwilling in his heart: "But...... It's a shame to miss such a great opportunity! ”

"Aristot." Davers smiled slightly: "I ask you, is it Dionya Qiang now, or Picosis or Poittia Qiang?" ”

"Of course we are Ionian strong! Picosis and Poittia together are no match for us! Aristocratic replied without hesitation.

"In this case, what we should do should be like eating bread, take a bite, chew it slowly, eat it into our stomach, and become our own strength until we are full, instead of eating one bite after another, but without swallowing, we may choke on it in the end." Davers patiently explained.

"I see, sir!" Aristocrates said convincingly, as smart as he understood what Davers meant, to spend time and energy to gain a foothold in the center of the Lucania region, and then to crush Picosis and Pothenia from the front unhurriedly with the strength of Dionia.

"So now we have to negotiate with the emissaries of Pikosis and Poittia and sign peace agreements with them such as non-aggression and so on, in order to appease them and prevent them from blatantly causing trouble in the area around Grumentum, but the term of the agreement must not be too long." There was a hint of murder in Davers's gentle tone.

"As for Galaguso...... It is said that it is located deep in the mountains, has little contact with the outside world, and its living environment is relatively harsh, so you can consider forming an alliance with it to strengthen trade......" Davers said this, and when he heard the sound of talking outside the living room, he immediately stopped talking and said with a smile: "There is an interesting guest coming. ”

"Interesting guest?" Aristocrates rarely heard Davers give such an evaluation, he looked out the door curiously, and when the slave steward Bazo led a man in, he suddenly realized: it was him!

Sipros, a native of Trina, stood out for his lanky spear-like stature when several emissaries from the city-states from the south had come together to ask for help from Dionia. Equally striking is his actions, not only in the fact that he was the first emissary of the Crotone allies, which Dionya had put forward for the creation of the League of South Italy; Secondly, the commander of the 1st Legion, who had gone to reinforce the regiment, later mentioned in his report to Davers that on the way to reinforcements, the Trina messenger Sipros strongly requested to march with the Dionian army and eat and live with the soldiers. It is reported that at the citizens' meeting in Trina, he also praised the combat effectiveness of the Dionian army and proposed that Trina should strengthen cooperation with Dionia......

Aristocratic remembers that after hearing about this man's performance, Davers once commented: Sipros is a smart man with a flexible mind, good at observation, and knows how to be flexible!

So this time the Hades Temple was inaugurated, and he was one of the guests who was proposed and invited by Defist.

At this moment, Davos stared at Sipros, and his mind was the conversation he had with Elia's messenger from Christoya's restaurant last night.

Davers knew in his heart that after Dionia's defeat of Crotone and his emergence as one of the most important forces in southern Italy, it would naturally attract a lot of attention. Naturally, the unique political system of Dionya cannot escape the eyes of those who are interested, but there are not many that are so incisive as Sipros......

"Sipros, Dionia's best friend, is very welcome!" Davers said happily and loudly: "I have been busy with celebrations these days, and I originally thought that I would invite you to a banquet after the celebration to express my gratitude, but I didn't expect ......"

Sipros saluted respectfully, "Your Excellency, I have insisted on coming to visit, but I am really forced to do so, and the city-state is desperately asking me to convey a proposal to you. ”

"Oh...... What proposal? Davers motioned for Sipros to sit down and speak.

Sipros glanced at Aristocrates and stopped talking.

"You can rest assured, Aristocratic, a very talented young man, my exclusive clerk (who is actually only a clerk, for he has not yet qualified as a pre-citizen citizen)." Davers's words made Aristocrates listen to them and be quite moved.

Sipros nodded to him, sat down on the wooden chair, and asked, "Does the Archon know the Brutis?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Davers roughly understood the meaning of Cipros: "I know a little about this neighbor to the west of the Dionian Alliance. The Brutis are the natives of Italy, and also live as tribes, but they are smaller in number than the Lucalians, and they are much less dangerous to Dionia, and it is said that they often attack you Trina. Davers said with a smirk as he looked at Sipros.

"It's not just Trina, they also invade the south of Asphorustum and Turriy from time to time." Sipros reminded.

"But after all, there are few times, and since the establishment of the Dionian League, the harassment of us by the Brutis has not been seen at all." Davers said with a relaxed expression.

"In fact, since last year, the Brutis have abruptly stopped their raids on all Greek city-state territories, and it's not just because Crotone, Siridine, and our Trina coalition have inflicted heavy losses on the Brutis—" Sipros paused, feeling Davers' gaze focused, and he deliberately raised his voice, "but also because of the significant changes that have taken place within the Brutis." ”

"What's changed?" Davers's heart moved, and he said calmly.

"Trina borders the Bruti town of Knappetia, has been fighting with the Brutis for many years, and is relatively familiar with them, and has some sources of information." Sipros's expression became solemn: "Last year, we received news that the leaders of the various tribes of Bruti had gathered in the city of Cosenza and had been discussing the formation of a tribal alliance. ”

"It's true?!" Davers was shocked, and couldn't help but lean forward, no wonder he was a little out of breath, the reason why he pretended not to care before, was because when he knew that Sipros's visit was related to the Brutians, he didn't want to be too enthusiastic, and lose too many chips in discussing the future attack on the Brutians, after all, the Brutis could not pose a huge threat to Dionia like the Lucanians.

As far as he knew, the tribes of the Brutis had always been divided in the small mountainous area they occupied: the tribes to the north, centered on the city of Vig, had a close relationship with the Lucanians because of the border with Laos, and they had been present in the invasion of Turiyi by the Lucanian tribes; The central part is centered on the big city of Cosenza, which is the most powerful; To the east, in the upper reaches of the Klati River, lived other tribes of Brutí, who had built the small city of Bessinia, and who used to plunder the southern plains of the Shubari by crossing the mountains, were their masterpieces; To the southeast of Cosenza is another small city, Ambania, which is said to have been founded by tribes who had originally fled from the city of Aspraustum to Crotone; To the south of Cosenza, the city of Knappetia borders Trina, which is also responsible for the infestation of Trina.

The Bruti Mountains, high mountains and dense forests, rugged roads, have the only plateau in southern Italy, the city of Vig and the city of Knappetia guard the narrow passage of the sea on the north and south sides of the west coast, Bisinia and Ambania block the only two mountain roads with the east coast, making this area a four-stop place, since the habitat of the Brutis people, it has always been the Bruti people who rushed out of the mountains and harassed others, almost never invaded, but there were more internal tribal wars. Most of the wars were provoked by Cosenza, the most powerful of which wanted to annex other tribes, except for Klapettia, who had close relations with Cosenza and remained neutral, Vig, Bissinia, and Amblalia often united against Cosenza. Because of the frequent inter-tribal wars that depleted the strength of the Brutis, they were not too much of a threat to the city-states of Great Greece. Now, the Brutis wanted to form a tribal alliance, which was much more threatening to the Greeks, especially Dionia, whose large territory bordered the Bruti Mountains.

"Of course it's true." Cipros affirmed, "Because in May of this year, the Bruti Tribal Alliance has been formed!" It is reported that the Bruti tribes elected Pianlun, the Grand Leader of Cosenza, as the Grand Leader of the newly created Alliance, and Sedorum, the Grand Leader of Vig City, Likum, the Grand Leader of Bissinia, Bergam, the Grand Chieftain of Ambania, and Pangaim, the Grand Leader of Klapettia, as the elders of the Alliance, with Cosenza as the center of the Tribal Alliance, and all the Bruti tribes ......"

After listening to Sipros's words, Davers couldn't sit still, he involuntarily stood up, paced slowly, and asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get all this news from?" ”

When Sipros saw Davers's performance, he knew that this matter had attracted the great attention of the highest power in Dionia, and he was immediately in a state of mind.

But he didn't know that the reason why Davers cared so much about this matter was not only because the formation of a tribal alliance by the Brutis might pose a danger to the territory of the Dionian Alliance, but more importantly, Davers had already considered the issue of the Brutis for a long time.

With the defeat of Crotone by Dionya and the formation of the Southern Italian League, the Dionian Alliance had little power to rival it in southern Italy.
