Vol 5 Chapter 100: The prologue of war

Piren nodded, he could only remind them that although he was elected as the new leader of the alliance, he did not have the right to interfere in the management of these tribal towns. He turned and asked Sedrum: "Picosis and Potentia have agreed to form an alliance with us. Do you think they will attack the Daonians?"
"It's hard to say..." Sedore muttered: "Because now the Diaonians are attacking us, not attacking them. With Cincinnard's deceitful character, he will never lead the way." Unless we let the Deonians be defeated!"
Pi's eyes were slightly disappointed, but soon returned to normal. He yelled everyone: "Everyone, as long as we resist the attack of the Dionyrians, insist that Dioria can't enter the cloth for half a month or a month. In the mountains of Luti, their fighting spirits will be defeated, and their food transportation will suffer, and the Lukanians who are oppressed by the Diaonians will take the opportunity to resist and the Diaonians will be in trouble. By then, when we countered, we completely defeated the blockade of Dioria and captured the fertile plains of the Greeks for our children and grandchildren!"
Piillen’s words of encouragement made everyone excited, and Nikru even shouted:
Destroy the Diaonians!

...........................
Road construction in the mountains of Miyazaki is a huge and complicated project. It not only consumes a lot of manpower and material resources, but also tests the engineering level of a country. Turui-Laos Avenue was built early last year. Laos, Turui and Niutum have invested a lot of manpower, but they have not yet been completed. Therefore, the 20,000-strong army led by Daves and the huge heavy-duty team turned for five days in the mountains before they reached the Lahe Fortress.
And Hiros led the Fourth Army to the outside of the city of Trina, the generals of Trina and the members of the council went out to meet, and Cipros introduced it to Hilos, and the atmosphere was very friendly.
Hilos rejected the good intentions of the Trina people to invite him to the city to feast, insisting on staying with the soldiers and winning the praise of the politicians.
He led the army to the shores of the coast ten miles northwest of the city of Trina, which is the exit of the seaside ramp, only 11 or 2 miles from the city of Knapetia.
After Hilos arranged the camp, he immediately took the guard and Cipros together and arrived outside Knapetia.
On the left is the cliff, on the right is the mountain. The road leading to the Cosenza Plateau is not wide, but the city of Kna Petia is even narrower. It seems that the length of the city is no more than 200 meters, but it Completely blocked the access road; the city is not large, but it is cut from bluestone; the wall is only four meters high, but the whole city is high, from the place where Hilos is moving forward, the road is inclined upwards, shrinking The narrower...
Soldiers have to spend a lot of energy just as they travel to the city, not to mention the enemy's arrow rain and javelin. Fortunately, the geographical environment of Aspulum City is similar, and the soldiers usually have experience in this aspect.
Hilos observed the situation of the road, and imagined whether the two siege devices that had just been equipped in the Third Legion could be pushed to the city.
Seepoos saw Hilos staring at the city of Kna Petia, long time, thinking that he was frightened by the hardships of siege, so he reminded him: "There are several trails in the nearby mountains that can bypass the grams. Napetia, head north to Cosenza."
"Yes?!" Hilos turned his head.
"Yes, otherwise the Xilu people, and the tribal people who are against Cosenza, may escape to Brudy."
"So, do people here know?" Hilos pointed to the city of Knapetia in front.
Sipros understood what he meant, and he said affirmatively: "They certainly know."
Hilos was not lucky, but he decided to go back and send someone to scout.
"I heard that Knapetia has a port." Hilos asked again.
"There is a port, but the port is not big." Sipros said, turning over and going to the edge of the cliff.
Silos did not reluctantly follow suit. He did not think that he had a good Hummer technique. In case the horse was frightened by the cliff, the Fourth Army had not started the war, and I am afraid that he would first lose one of the army chiefs.
"Where!" In front of Sipros's finger, his voice seemed a little ethereal under the strong sea breeze.
Hilos looked intently. On the cliff that stood out on the land, with a height difference of nearly 100 meters from the sea, his sight could touch the coast a few miles north of Knapetia, where he saw a piece. On a flat land, there is a small beach with a simple dock and a dozen boats and boats...
Sipros said: "According to the information of the Xilu people and the situation that our ships often observe in the city of Knapetia, the port of Knapetia is built at the mouth of the Savuu -"
"Sawuto River?"
"The Savuto River is a large river in the territory of Kna Petia. Don't look at the city in front of us. It is not a mountain or a sea. It seems to be very poor. It is actually not far from the north, around the Savutu River. There is a small plain, and along the Savut Valley, you can reach Cosenza smoothly.
Speaking here, Cipros showed a sly smile:
It is said that the original Brutus would be Knapetia. The city is built here. It is worried that we will destroy and plunder their farmland and pastures on the plains of Savutuo. But our Trina people can't even cultivate the fertile land on the plains of Orphea, and it will smash it. The small plains, but their city is ten miles away from the Sawutuo River, it is very inconvenient to work, and they have to build another town on the banks of the Sawuto River -"
"How about the defense of this town?" Hilos suddenly interrupted the words of Cipros.
"I heard that there is no city wall in this town."
Hilos was relieved. He didn't want to spend a lot of effort to capture Knapetia, and he had to work hard to capture the town to fully occupy this Brudy territory.

In the past, Kna Petia was not productive, the shipbuilding technology was poor, and there was no contact with other Italian city-states. So there are ports, but there is almost no maritime trade, but...
Cipros worriedly said:
Now The Bruce Tribal Alliance was established. This is the only port of the Bruti people. I believe it will develop very quickly..."
Hilos nodded, but they didn't know that the Brutus had crossed the blockade of Dionia through this simple dock, and formed an alliance with Picosis and Potentia.
"The head of the army, you see!" At this time, the guards loudly reminded.
I saw the gates of Kna Petia wide open, and a team of people rushed out.
"Let's go!" Silos ordered, and the team returned to the camp without hesitation.
"Seeing no, the Dionyns are cowards!" Nikru held a spear and laughed aloud.
...........................
Davers arrived at the river fortress, and Sista and Hieronymus, who got the news, were already waiting there.
"The ruling official, the people of Niutum have mobilized, obeying the arrangements of the city hall, will carry the grain and grass for our troops, build the camp, transport the wounded ..." Sesta took the initiative to report.

There are no opinions from the Lucania tribes?

"On the contrary, they are very happy to see the Brutus being conquered. The more powerful Diaonia, the safer they are, and the future belongs to Dionia, not only the non-Greek race of Lucania. They I am also willing to provide a place for the Legion, but in that case, our soldiers must be careful that the Lucania women break into their tents at night, knowing that the Greek citizens of Diaonia are very popular now!
Seta joked Said.
Davers listened to fun and laughed. He looked at Seta, and said with some emotion: "Sesta, I think that as a mercenary, you should never have been a city official or even managed a city."
Sesta shook his head: "In order to be able to eat bread, I can think of it today. This is an adult that has brought us unimaginable changes!"

The opportunity is provided, and the opportunity must be seized. And as a mercenary with no city-state management experience, you choose to leave the familiar army and come to this strange land to face the then hostile Luca. The Niya people, not afraid of difficulties, work hard, and solve problems daringly. Until today, I can say that Nini Uttum is completely completely Diorian territory! Seta, your work is very good! Not only me So think that other people in the Senate think so! You are now the veteran of the veterans who have the most administrative experience in our mercenary! Wait until the end of next year's term~EbookFREE.me~ I think the Senate must have more important tasks. Give it to you!" Daphus expressed his appreciation for Seta without any regrets.
After listening to this, Seta was both proud and excited. He still kept a little clear: "Adult, you are the most administrative person in our mercenary!"
"I?" Daphus looked around and said, "That doesn't count, you don't all say that I am a oracle, that is the credit of Hades!"
The crowd burst into laughter.
"Adult." Hieronymus couldn't help but say: "What is the mission of our Third Army in this war?" The last reinforcement of Tarantum did not have a third legion. This war mobilized again. Without specific instructions to the Third Army, Hieronymus was inevitably anxious.
Davers looked at the head of the army who had just moved to Niutumm to facilitate the training and command of the Third Army. Even the usual meeting of the Senate did not participate. Star has political ambitions, and this taciturn man is a military camp, so even though he is a Greek, the majority of the third legions are Lukania, who once hated the Greeks. The Lucanian warrior was very convinced of him, and that is why.
