The Grand Leader of Caracheni, Contruk, said in a cold voice: "I hope this plan can be carried out smoothly, otherwise—"

The old man hadn't finished his sentence, but Lesgook knew he was reminding himself.

The plan of the Samonai coalition to attack the Dauni region was mainly drawn up by Lesguk, except for the success of the first raid, the next few attacks failed miserably, and the three major tribes of Hippine, Putney, and Caracheni suffered heavy losses, and while Lesguk was blamed by the other two great chiefs, he also realized that after the initial success, he was a little dizzy, and he forgot to carry out his original idea: not to fight the Dioonians on flat ground, Instead, they should take advantage of the mountain battles that the Samonai are good at to deal with the enemy.

However, despite successive victories, the Dionian commander in the Daoni region remained calm and did not be lured by the Samonai and rashly marched into the mountains.

Lesguk finally felt that they could not take advantage of the Dauni region, but they were not willing to stop their attack on Dionia, so that Dioonia could free up their hands to concentrate on destroying the other enemies, so they had to turn their aim to the west, and the weak Ionian allies, the Campania League, and the empty Lucania region seemed to be better targets.

Moreover, due to the fact that Cautini had suffered a crushing defeat and had captured a large number of fighters, Cautini did not send too many fighters when the Samonai coalition attacked Dauni, so he suffered small losses. It just so happened that the previously captured Kautini warriors had been released by the Dionians and returned to the tribe, making the Kautini now the most powerful of the four tribes.

Segovani, who had also just returned to Kautim, readily agreed after hearing the plans of the three high chiefs, not only because of his return of favor (the three tribes used the hostages of Gruum in the Dhoni region to force Dionia to return the captives of Kautini), but also because he needed the support of the other high chiefs and high priests to enable him to regain his position as high chief. Of course, he also hated Dionia, who had humiliated him, and hoped to cause him great trouble.

The two sides hit it off.

That's why Lesguk, Kontruk, Badani, and Junny are here.

…………………………………………

Iona, a city on the north-western frontier of the Kingdom of Dionia, has maintained tranquility despite the fact that the Samonai are at war with Dionya and that Enona borders the Naconia region of the Kautini tribe, with people or merchants heading to the north-east town of Babania every day.

But on this day, the sentry at the head of the city of Enona saw a long group of people coming from the northeast direction, helping the old and the young, carrying packages and driving pack carts, and rushed towards the city of Enona with a panicked face.

At the forefront were several Hades priests in white robes, who rushed to the city guard and shouted in a panting voice, "The Grand Chief of Kautini, Segovani...... Led an army to capture the city of Naconia, and we received a report from the Naconian believers who risked their lives...... only to escape first...... The small town of Babania is in danger! I have already informed the chief of the town, but there are still many people who have not left, so hurry up and send troops to the rescue! Fast! Fast! ……”

The governor of the city of Enona is Adriankos, who has been in office for three years and his term is coming to an end, but since several wars have recently broken out in Dionia, and it is unlikely to end in a short time, in such a situation, his term of office may be extended in order to ensure the stability of the kingdom, so he has been relatively comfortable continuing to perform his duties conscientiously.

At the city hall, he was taken aback when he received an urgent report from the captain of the city guard, and immediately ordered: "Hurry up and ring the alarm bell and let the whole city enter emergency combat readiness!" And also...... Send someone to the barracks outside the city, inform General Zantiparis, and let him lead his army to defend Palpania! ”

"Yes, sir!"

Looking at the back of the captain of the city guard who left in a hurry, Adriankos looked solemn, he knew that the tranquility of Enona had been broken and the war had struck!

While worrying about the life and death of the people of Papania, he remembered another important matter, so he immediately called the clerk: "Send someone to Pompeii at once, tell them that there is an abnormal movement of the Cautini people, let the Campanian League strengthen their vigilance, and beware of another invasion by the Cautini people!" ”

Zantiparis originally came to the Lucania region on the orders of the Ministry of Military Affairs to form a reserve legion, replacing the Third Legion, and taking on the defense of the entire northwest region of the Dionian Kingdom.

Initially, he made his base at the military camp near Grummentum, but after the Samonai invaded the Daoni region, Zantiparis changed his base to the vicinity of Enona, as this was the closest city to the Samonai (although Kopsa, but he considered Abenirum to be a much more reliable barrier than Nakonia). Who knew that he had just completed the preparation of the reserve corps, and the Ministry of War asked Epitenis to take four brigades from him, but he was not allowed to expand it again, which made him quite helpless.

………………………………………

While the Dionian army and the Roman army were engaged in a fierce battle in the city of Ostia, Segovani led the Samonai army, held the subjugated Naconian chieftain hostage, successfully entered the Naconia region, forcibly seized the settlements of the tribes that did not submit to him (including the tribe of Quinduk), and forced his tribesmen to follow his troops to attack the town of Gapania in Enona with the lives of his tribesmen.

The town, which had been built seven years earlier under the personal supervision of the governor of Enona, Assistes, had become quite prosperous thanks to the frequent exchanges between Dionya and Naconia, and in order to show the Dioonians' sincerity towards the Naconians and remove their guard, not too many defenses had been placed in the town, and the enemy had come suddenly, so it was easily captured.

Segovani captured the Dionian people who were still in the town, then ordered the Naconian warriors to burn Babania to force it to break with Dionya once and for all, and then sent troops to block the mountain road to Enona while returning to Naconia.

Segovani's decision not to attack Enona directly was the result of a decision made by the great chiefs after the hard lessons of the Dauni region, and they targeted the weaker and weaker Campanian League.

When Segovani led his army into Naconia, the nearly 10,000 Samonai coalition troops who had been waiting for a long time in the small mountain pass city of Abella quickly marched westward, passing through Sesara and attacking the city of Atra, which had suffered a great loss to the Kautini.

Due to the previous gathering of the leaders of the Kautini held in Lola, the Campanian League, led by Naples, shifted the focus of its defense to the southeast, and did not guard against the surprise attack of the Samoneans in the northeast, and Atlah, a small city on the border of the Campanian League, was quickly attacked by the Samonian warriors.

At the same time, Segovani, who had already burned the small town of Napania, returned to Naconia and led 7,000 Cautini warriors (including more than 3,000 Naconians) to the southwest, attacking Pompeii, only 20 miles from Naconia.

Pompeii had been at peace with Naconia for more than a decade because of Dionia, and he never expected that an enemy would attack from the southeast, and the attack would be so fast. In a hurry, most of the people outside the city did not have time to retreat into the city, and became captives of the Kautini.

………………………………………

After receiving the order from Adrianx, Zantiparis was not excited about his imminent participation in the battle, as there was only one brigade of soldiers in the barracks.

This is actually quite normal, because under normal circumstances, a soldier of a legion brings his own rations and standard weapons and equipment to the barracks from his home within three or four days, and conducts a military training under the leadership of the military training officer, unless the military training department of the military affairs department notifies the whole corps to conduct joint training, usually each brigade takes turns (the usual training of the military camp of each legion is responsible for the military training officer sent by the military training department of the military affairs department of the kingdom, and the corps commander has no right to interfere, but he can observe the training from the sidelines, He knew the condition of his soldiers and made his own training recommendations, and he had the right to command his own legions only with the authorization of the king and the Ministry of War. ）。

Originally, in this grim situation, Zantiparis should have concentrated all the legionnaires in the barracks, but in this way, when the soldiers' own rations were exhausted, they had to be provided by the barracks, and most of them were allocated by the granaries in the nearby areas in normal times, but now that the food was tight, Zantiparis could only let the various brigades take turns to garrison the barracks.

Although there were only 1,000 soldiers in the barracks, Zantiparis did not hesitate to gather them and quickly march towards Babania.

At the same time, Zantiparis also ordered the heralds to rush to the four seaside towns of Enona, Poseidonia, Elia, and Picosis at once, and inform the soldiers of the other brigades to assemble at the barracks immediately. When Epitenis came to draw troops, he had an extra eye and asked Epitenis to take away a brigade composed mainly of citizens from the inland towns of Lucania, such as Grumentum and Niutum, and left behind a brigade composed of citizens from coastal towns, so that in order to inform the soldiers to assemble and the soldiers to arrive at the barracks more quickly in the future.

After the troops bypassed Énona, they were met by the fleeing crowd, who shouted in panic: "The Kautini are here!" They captured Palpania! ……”
