Vol 3 Chapter 35: The outbreak of war

The treacherous generals, after an urgent consultation with the council, decided to send the messenger to Crotone for sin and would be willing to make all compensation.
The news spread to Amendola, and Davers and the veterans were shocked: after all, the city-state messenger represents the city-state itself, and the killer is a taboo, because that may mean war.
Amendola immediately cancelled plans to participate in the isthmus and began to pay close attention to the development of the situation.
"Father, this is good! The Turais are going to be punished by the gods!" Sostatus ran into the backyard with excitement.
Kuno Gorata, who was lying on the couch and sunburned, was not as excited as his eldest son. The former general of Turui had a sad face and lamented: "I have said it already! I have long said Passing Neonsis will kill Turui!..."
..............................
When the Turui messenger quickly rushed to Crotone, the generals of Crotone had already got the news through the merchant ship. They listened indifferently to the messenger’s words and offered
any willingness to make any compensation
to Turui. "If you dismissively, you only say one thing: "We can go to Turui by ourselves and take as much as we want!"
Crotone has already tolerated Turui for a long time. Since defeating Syblis a hundred years ago, Crotone's strength has flourished and become a powerful and powerful country in Greece. However, due to the strong strength of Athens, it was necessary to allow Turai to build a city. This is undoubtedly a shame for Crotone, who used to be arrogant in the "foot" of southern Italy. After this incident happened, it happened that the old account was calculated together, and it could also make up for the emptiness of the national treasury.
On the same day, the Crotone Confederate General Assembly successfully passed the resolution declaring war on Turui and launched war mobilization to the citizens. On the morning of the third day, 7,000 elite soldiers were summoned. Asprostum and Siriting also sent 3,000 citizens to join. Because Trina had just experienced the war and faced the Brutus directly, only 30 cavalrymen were sent. Coulenya also said that he wants to participate in the war, which was rejected by Crotone, because the south of Caulonia is the Rocky League, and Locker and Crotone have long been in the wrong place. Coronia is important in the south of Crotone. Barrier, there can be no flashes.
Four days later, at the Temple of Apollo in Crotone, sacrifices were made. After the divination was won, Meranthus, one of the ten generals, led a 10,000-strong army to the forefront.
The war finally broke out between Crotone and Turui.
With the news that Crotone's army marched into Turui, Neonsis was anxious, and with the reminder of his colleagues, he proposed to the council that an emergency meeting of citizens was held.
At the conference, he made a generous speech. He first told about the failure of the attempt to make peace in the Turai Council and the remarks of the Crotones, which immediately aroused the indignation of many citizens. But when they heard that Crotone had a 10,000-strong army attack, there was a long silence on the venue. You know, although Crotone’s number of troops in this attack is less than that of the Lukhanian tribes, this is the true Greek heavy infantry force, and Croton’s civics have always been fighting in Great Greece. Known.
At this time, the owner of the vineyard, Orifis, shouted: "We should send the messenger again, ask Crotone for peace, and promise them any request."
"Their request is just to ask for more money and supplies, but the key is that our national treasury has bottomed out!" General Polluxs stood up and said: "We can't get more money unless we are to citizens. Impose additional war special taxes."
Upon hearing the tax collection, the venue was silent again.
In the end, the citizens who were devastated by the war and who had feared the war made compromises. They reluctantly said that in order to prevent Turui from being attacked again, they agreed with the tax requirements of the city hall, but they were afraid that even this would not satisfy Crowe. Tone's appetite.
"We always have to try first." Plesinus shouted: "If you lose money, you can earn it again, but you can lose your loved ones and regret it!"
The proposal was passed and Neonsis was relieved.
"Why don't you go to Tarantum and ask it to help us with Crotone?! Since Tarantum advocated the establishment of the Great Greek Defense League, it must not want war between the city-states!" He said: "And with the strength of Tarantum, it will definitely make Crotone have scruples, and the truce is more likely!"
"This is a good idea, En Anilus!" Neonsis praised, as the owner of the largest shipyard in Turui, En Anilus is a character who can't easily be offended, so Neonsis nodded again and again. : "Thank you for reminding me, we will send someone to ask for help from Tarantum!"
"Even if there is a possibility of a truce, we have to plan for failure! What should we do if Crotone is determined to fight?" Another person stood up and said.
At the sight of Neon Sis, Ansitanos was talking. Although the relationship between the two was outrageous because of Kuno Gorata, he had to admit that his suggestion was very reasonable. So Neonsis asked: "Respected Ansitas, do you have any good suggestions?"
"First of all, let our citizens be armed, Crotones are crowded, we can't fight against it outside the city, so the tall walls will help us resist their offense and kill their morale..."
The words of Ansitanos were recognized by many citizens: "Yes, the city of Turui is strong, and the Lucanias have no way to take us under the city twice, and Crotone is also the same!"
Ansitanos continued: "Second...Amendo Lara is our alliance. The combat effectiveness of their soldiers is very clear. We should ask for assistance from them!"
When it comes to Amendola, Neonsis is as uncomfortable as eating flies, but the participants have all agreed: "Ansitanos is right! You should go to them, they are there, We can rest assured!"
"I have said that for a few slaves, it is totally unworthy to have a relationship with Amendola Lara. It is not so easy to ask someone now!"
......
In this way, Neonsis listened. The color on his face was green for a while, and he was very embarrassed. He made a strong spirit and said: "This proposal is very good. Burks, you can take a trip."
Burks, who has always had a temperate temperature, immediately refused: "I can't do it, or let the powerful Plesinus go."
Plesinus listened and bowed his head. He knew that if he went, not only would he be unsuccessful, he might be beaten.
It is no wonder that Burgos did not cooperate. At the beginning, he urged the City Hall to fulfill his promise and give slaves freedom. The City Hall ignored his proposal and led to the last slave riot, with some slaves fleeing to Amendola. At this time, as a general, Burkes learned from Davers that: Amendorara would definitely reject Turui’s request, and it would be better to fulfill his promise, give slave freedom, and reach Amendo. The purpose of Lara.
Neonsis and other generals not only rejected his suggestion, but also believed that it was difficult for him to pull down his face and ask for a slave to Amendola, so he sent a strong-spirited Plesinner. Sis. What Burkes said just now is one of the original words that Neonsis refused when he refused to send him to Amendola. Now, Burkes has returned it from the original, imagining the face of Neonsis. How wonderful the expression is.
At this moment, even if Neonsis hates Burkes, he can't help but swear: "Burks, this is a big event that affects the life and death of Turui! Other than you, no one can complete this task! I hope you can go A trip to Amendola, ask Dafos to send troops to help!"
Burkes took a bad breath and simply nodded in the request of the citizens.
"Amendo Lara is a small town. The reinforcements that can be dispatched should not be too much. The key is to rely on ourselves." Ansitanos continued: "I propose to mobilize free people to participate in the war and promise to give them citizenship. Of course we There has been a promise before, but it has not been honored. This time in order to win them, as long as they promised to participate in the war, they will immediately give citizenship!"
Ansantas’s suggestion is more uncomfortable than one that makes Leonius feel uncomfortable. This proposal is not to mention him. The citizens participating in the conference have almost no consent based on personal interests. Finally, Ansitanos got the answer: Reconsideration……"

In the face of the army of Crotone, Krimisa opened the door without hesitation and took the initiative to send a thousand people to join the army of Crotone.
