Wesbah definitely didn't expect things to be so twisty and unfolding. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Yesterday afternoon, when his envoys arrived at the plains of Sybari, the combined forces of the Lucanian tribes had retreated, and they had to retreat back into the city for fear of being attacked by the Greek army. Today, Vesba was restlessly waiting for the Lucanian coalition to arrive on the plains of Xubari. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, the spies hurriedly reported: the Greek mercenaries had completely wiped out the Lucanian coalition army on the great beach of the Tino River!

Wesper was stunned, he felt fear, he couldn't leave this terrifying mercenary army immediately, the farther away the better!

The combination of these powerful tribes in Lucania has suffered heavy losses, and the control over the surrounding tribes will inevitably weaken, and the tribes of Wesba will return to the mountains of Lucania, and should not be oppressed again for the time being. However, let him leave empty-handed, and he was reluctant to bear the mountains of seized supplies in the city, and his people were poor.

At this time, another sentence from the spy reassured him: the Greeks also suffered a lot of losses, at least a thousand casualties.

By the way, after a big war, don't the Greeks need to rest? Calling himself foolish, Vespa ordered his people to start packing their luggage and loading supplies, and then carry them away in batches, depending on the situation.

After a busy afternoon, in the evening, the tribesmen were so tired that they fell asleep.

This delay became a small regret in his life. But decades later, when his people and descendants talked about this day, they were glad that they did not leave immediately......

…………………………

In the middle of the night, a full moon hangs over the canopy, bringing a glimmer of light to the dark night.

The moonlight was like water, quietly scattered on the plains of Xubari, and I saw a long dragon silently advancing towards the north of the coast, crossing the Xubari River, crossing the abandoned vineyards, crossing the Saraceno River, not only did the speed not decrease, but became faster and faster, until it crossed the Sisno River, and the whole procession suddenly stopped.

Every warrior looked at the shadowy city of Amendola in the moonlight, and their mood was very excited.

Davers took a deep breath to calm himself down, then waved his hand vigorously at Shiros.

The offensive has begun!

…………………………

That night, Vespa had a good dream that he did not leave Amendolara, but lived here for many years, making daily rounds of his herds of cattle and sheep, wandering through the olive groves full of fruit, and drinking sweet wine......

"Big Chief, it's not good! The Greeks are marching into the city! The guards burst in in a panic.

"What do you say?!!" Veesba woke up.

…………………………

The next morning, Acheta, who had just woken up from her sleep, received strange news from the guards: the mercenaries who lived next to them had disappeared!

He immediately went to check, and sure enough, it was empty.

Acheta immediately sensed that something was wrong. He hurried to the nearby camp of Davers: there were men, but all of them were Davers's baggage camps, medical battalions, wounded soldiers, women, and a large number of slaves (mainly from Turiyi), and they were all loading their luggage and preparing to leave......

Acheta strode forward and grabbed Merses, who was shouting and directing the slaves: "Mercis, where have Davers and his soldiers gone?" ”

Mersis hesitated and did not respond, making him even more suspicious.

At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Acheta, I'm so sorry that I'm late and worried you." ”

Acheta turned around and saw Davers smiling, looking a little tired, but looking in a good mood: "Where have all your soldiers gone?" ”

"Good news for you." Davers turned over and dismounted, handed the reins to Assistes, and said calmly, "We have taken Amendolala!" ”

"When?" Acheta was taken aback.

"Last night."

Took a mountain city in one night?! Seeing that Davers's expression does not look like a fake, you must know that a siege is a big problem for the army of any city-state. Yesterday's battle had already amazed Archeta with Davers's grandeur, creative battle planning, strong command ability, and ability to pinch different troops. And the fact of conquering a mountain city in one night made Acheta, who had many combat experiences, completely convinced, and he smiled bitterly: "Davers, you have completed another difficult task, it really makes me jealous!" ”

Acheta's straightforwardness made Davers laugh: "In fact, we are also blessed by the goddess of fate." The Lucanians were sloppy defensively and completely defenseless. ”

"Oh, that's right." Acheta was curious to hear what he said, but Davers changed his words and said solemnly: "There is something I want to get your support and Tarantum's support." ”

"What's the matter?" Acheta looked at Davers's serious expression and was stunned for a moment.

Davers stared at him and said word by word: "We mercenaries want to be citizens of Amendolala!" ”

Acheta was stunned again, and he asked uncertainly, "All mercenaries?!" Are you serious? ”

"This is the will of all mercenaries!" Davers said aloud in an unquestioning tone.

Acheta's expression became serious, and he looked around, whether it was Mersis, Assis, or the busy guards, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at him expectantly. Acheta hurriedly turned his head, looked at Davers, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the capture of Amendolara was not a whim of yours. ”

Dafu didn't answer directly, but said emotionally: "Acheta, you were born into a Tarantum nobleman, you live a good life, you can't understand the situation of our mercenaries wandering around, life and death are not up to you, and having a home is their greatest desire!" ”

Acheta was silent for a moment and asked, "Does Marcellis, the consul of Amendolara, agree?" ”

"On the day the Lucanians occupied Amendorala, he was seriously wounded and died within a few days. Another consul, Gratbafro...... Last night, we attacked Amendora, and the people of Amendora, who were imprisoned in the temple of Zeus on the top of the mountain, before we could reach the top of the mountain, they launched an attack on the Lucanian guards under the leadership of Gratbabflo, and as a result, there was a fierce battle between the two sides, and by the time we arrived, Glatbarflo was already dead, including some members of the Senate......" Davers said in a heavy tone.

Acheta looked at Davers, and Davos continued with a calm face: "According to our statistics, there are about 1,000 people who have survived in Amendora, and their physical condition is not good, nearly half of them are elderly, and many of them are injured, even if we leave, I am afraid they will not be able to maintain the normal management and work of Amendora City, let alone protect this mountain city." ”

Acheta understood that Davers not only wanted the mercenaries to become citizens of Amendolara, but also wanted to become the master there, and he was surprised by Davers's ambition and said shirkably: "You should ask Turiyi's opinion first, after all, Amendora is its ally." ”

"Acheta, let's be honest, Turii has suffered two heavy defeats now, and his strength has been greatly damaged, and he may not be able to take care of Amendolara. And although the weakened Amendora is not wealthy, its position is still quite important, and I am afraid that it will also attract the prying eyes of other forces. At least in our hands, we are able to hold it and are willing to ally Tarantum to keep this area safe and secure Heraclia from the natives again! Davers made a solemn promise.

Acheta was a little moved, after all, Turiyi had performed too badly in this war with Lucania, and almost caused disaster in the region, so he said cautiously but frankly: "I have no right to decide whether you can have Amendolara or not, this requires the consent of the Senate of Tarantum!" I will send someone back to Tarantum by boat at once, and I hope you will send someone with you to express your wishes to the Senate of Tarantum!" ”

"Thank you very much, Acheta!" Davos said excitedly.

"My only regret is that you can no longer be a citizen of Tarantum." Acheta said sincerely.

Davers was so moved that he hurriedly said, "But we will be allies, maybe one day we will fight side by side again!" ”

Without the consent of the people of Amendolara or the advice of his ally Turiyi, the two men talked and laughed and decided on the ownership of a city.
