When Puamot saw rows of Ionian legionnaires passing in front of him with their heads held high, he couldn't help but exclaim: "What a mighty army! There are so many brave soldiers in Dionia, who else dares to invade! No wonder the Samonai are no match for you, Lord Davers! ”

"Grand Leader of Puamot, Samonay's army was repelled by brave warriors led by the brave chieftains of Poitya." Davers said humbly.

"Lord Davers, if you hadn't led your army to annihilate the reinforcements sent to Poseidonia by the Samonai first, and then made a careful plan, sent soldiers to infiltrate the enemy camp, disrupted the enemy, and sent your men to contact us and persuade us to carry out a night attack...... On our own, how can we have the power to repel so many fierce Samonehs! Paulett said bluntly.

"You and I don't want to be humble to each other! Such a victory and the restoration of peace to the land are the result of the unity and cooperation of Dionia and Poittia! Davers concluded.

"Yes, thank God Athenu! Let Pothenia be very fortunate to join the Dionyan League, without the full help of Dionia, there would be no Portentia today! The people of Pothenia will always remember this kindness! Puamot sighed from the bottom of his heart.

The other leaders also expressed their gratitude to Davers.

"Lord Davers, we have prepared a camp for your army, near the city of Pothenia. It used to be a tribal settlement of ours, and due to the rush of time, we did not clean it adequately, and some of the houses in it were destroyed by the Samonai. Pollette said that following the Dionian army these days, he knew what Davers needed most at this time.

"Thank you so much, this is the solution to our big problem!" Davers was overjoyed, and continued, "It's okay if the camp is shabby, but these torches will be borrowed for us when the time comes." ”

"Lord Davers, tonight we have prepared a welcome banquet for you and your soldiers to celebrate the arrival of victory. When you set up camp, our people will carry hundreds of cattle and sheep and wine to your camp......" Seeing that the atmosphere was good, Puamot said loudly, but was interrupted by Davers tactfully in the middle of his sentence: "Grand Chief Puamot, and all the leaders, I thank you for your kind invitation, and for your friendship with Dionia!" But I have heard that this invasion of the Samonai has caused you great losses, with villages and farmland burned, many people slaughtered or taken prisoner, and a large number of livestock lost...... You're all a little short of food right now, and you're bringing food out to treat us, do you think we can eat it? ”

Davers's emotional words were talking about the weakness of the Pothenian chieftains, and the others did not speak, but only looked at their great chief.

Puamot said hurriedly: "Lord Davers, although we are in a bit of a difficult situation, but you-"

Davos interrupted him again and said seriously: "Great Chief, our "Dionian Military Law" stipulates that during the war, the army is not allowed to drink, entertain, or celebrate. I had already received word when I was in Elia that the army of Syracuse had just invaded Great Greece! So the war here is over, and the war in the south has just begun. We also have to rush back to Turiyi to drive out the enemy in Sicily...... On the day of victory, Dionya will hold a victory parade. At that time, Dionya will solemnly invite the Grand Leader and all the Chiefs to Turriy to celebrate this hard-won victory! ”

Speaking of which, the leaders of Portetia are not good at persuading anything, not to mention that this is also in line with many people's practice of medicine. Puamot, who has never traveled far from home, even made a promise: "I will definitely go when the time comes!" ”

"In addition, after the capture of the city of Poseidonia, we seized a large amount of grain given to the Samonei by the people of Syracuse, and in view of the difficulties of the people of Pothenia in making ends meet, I have decided to transfer this amount of food to Pothenia so that this land can be restored to life as soon as possible." Davers said solemnly.

Everyone present froze.

"This ...... This...... How can it! Puamot, who had always been calm and calm, spoke so incoherently that he didn't know what to say.

"Master Davers, that's your spoils of war, and your army of this size needs food." Paulette hurriedly said.

"That's it!" Davers said firmly.

"Merciful Lord Davers!"

"Thank you, Lord Davers!"

"I thank you on behalf of the people of the Leon tribe!"

……

Many leaders rushed to express their gratitude, and this time it was entirely sincere.

Davers smiled silently. In fact, as Polette said, his army of 30,000 was also strained, the soldiers' rations had been eaten, and the food was transported from Grumentum by land and sea, and 1/3 of it would be consumed on the road alone, and it would be good if Pau Tia could sustain the army for ten days. Although the big war here is over, there is still follow-up work to be done. Even so, he did not hesitate to donate a staggering amount of material to Portentia, not for the present, but for the future.

At this time, the atmosphere of the scene was more harmonious, and Davers had a good conversation with the leaders......

And in the mountains not far from them, a pair of hateful eyes were watching the grand scene at the bottom of the mountain.

"Chief, did you really decide to attack the camp tonight?! There are probably tens of thousands of people in Dionia, and there are only a thousand of us, and most of our people are still hungry! It's better to wait for the Great Leader and the Leader of Liesguk to converge before attacking the enemy, it's not too late! His warriors looked hesitant.

"By then it will be too late! Only when the Dioonians had just arrived here on the march and they were overtired would the chances of a successful assault on the camp be great! Portentia ...... The Pothenians were able to ...... Ahem...... If we can do it, so can we! Geirny whispered to his people, but he couldn't stop coughing. Last night's experience was like a nightmare, and he wouldn't even mention the term "Pothenia" if it weren't for the night attack.

"Besides, we've been looking for a day today, and we haven't come across ...... My father...... And Lesguk they ......" At this, his expression was slightly worried and depressed, but he quickly put aside these thoughts that bothered him, and encouraged his people again: "We must act immediately!" Otherwise, tomorrow, Dionia's army may attack Kopsa to the north! We must do our best to defend Abenirum and the neighboring lands! ”

"Yes......" replied the Samonai warriors, weakly.

……………………………

Late at night, Puammut returned to his mansion, still in the excitement of the previous conversation: "Pollett, what do you think of Davers?" ”

"An amazing great Greek chief! An amazing army commander! Paulert was succinct.

"So, do you think he can lead the Ionians in repelling the great army of Syracuse?" Puamot continued.

Poret hesitated for a moment, then affirmed: "I have not seen the army of Syracuse, but the Dionian Legion is the most disciplined and powerful Greek army I have ever seen, and I believe they can win!" ”

"I believe it too." After Puamot finished speaking, he saw his brother's face look surprised, and said with a smile: "Although I have not participated in battles, Davers is the Greek general I have ever met who can restrain his own desires and control the desires of his men!" Such a person's personality is like a pine tree growing in a rock, he will never give in to setbacks, and he will definitely win the final victory! So—"

Poamette walked a few steps to the statue of Athenu, and after praying sincerely, made a final decision: "I have decided to offer Poseidonia to Dionia." ”

"What?!" Pollett was shocked.

"In fact, Poseidonia is now in the hands of the Dionians, whom they took from Samonay. Davers didn't mention what to do with the city just now, so it is better to take the initiative to give it to Dionia, anyway, the people there are either killed or taken prisoner, and we can't help them, so let the Dionians help. Puamot sighed, his eyes brightening: "I think Davers is a man with a big heart. The Brutis were subjugated, Southern Lucania was subjugated, quite a few Greek city-states were also subjugated, and the Samonai were defeated...... The future of this land is up to the Dionians, and we must make a choice as soon as possible, so that Davers will not treat us Portetia badly. ”

"I see, big brother. You are the great chief of Portentia, you have the final say, I will listen to you. Paulette said sincerely.

"No, I'm old, and Pothenia will be in charge of you in the future, and I believe you will handle the relationship with Portentia." Puamot said calmly, he has no children, Polett is his younger brother, more like his son.

………………………………

In the middle of the night, there was a commotion in the Ionian camp, which woke Davers from his slumber.

"What happened?" Davers calmly looked at Rodom, the captain of the surrogate guard, and Thormid, the herald, who walked into the house.

"My lord, there are Samonites attacking the camp and being discovered by the sentinels, because they are in the defense area of the second legion, the commander of the Amintas corps has already led the team to attack, and I believe that they will be repelled soon." Tolmid said.

"Bumping into Amintas, it can be regarded as the bad luck of the Samonai, this guy has not been able to get a big battle because he came to the Lucania area, and he is holding his breath in his heart (the siege of Poseidonia is the main force of the Third Army, and the First and Second Army Corps do the final encirclement and impact, and the victory is too easy. And the Samonay camp in Pothenia collapsed inexplicably, and Amintas, who had thought that there was a big battle, was naturally dissatisfied. ）”
