Vol 3 Chapter 38: Threat

"What about that?!" Melanius squinted at him, his face on the reddish face with a dissatisfied look: "Where is my birth, it is the arrangement of fate, and of course it is doomed. The end of the failure!"
He again asked aloud: "Turiyi and Amendola Lara are allies. I heard that when my army approached Turui, Amendola Lara promised to send reinforcements, right?"
"There is something wrong, the messenger of Amendolara once said, 'Just give them a few days to assemble the troops, and when their reinforcements arrive, Turui will be able to hold it!'" Ansitanos replied, he will Amendo Lara’s original words were slightly aggravated and I saw that Melanius’s face was redder.
Meran Hughes turned to Timaras next to him: "Tomorrow, you send someone to question Amendola, 'Why are you enemies with Crotone? Ask them to immediately cancel the alliance agreement with Turui, with us Alliance!'"
Timaras hesitated: "Amendo Lara and Tarantum are allies!"
"Yes, it is an alliance with Tarantum, and it can also form an alliance with Turui. Why can't we form an alliance with us?!" Melanius said hard.
"Okay." Timaras reluctantly agreed.
Melanius turned the glass and his eyes radiant: Davers, what do you do?
.....................
The news that Crotone scored Turui quickly spread throughout Greece, and Turui became the focus of attention.
The city states of Tarantum, Lockley, Lijim and other cities are closely watching the development of the situation. Even the Syracuse people who are preparing for the troops and materials in Sicily and preparing to attack Carthage are also betting their eyes. After all, Lockley is In the alliance of Syracuse, Dionysius even married the famous family of Lockley, and now the sister of the chief general of Demodoccas, Doris, and Locke and Crotone are deadly enemies. The power of Crotone is by no means what Locke and Syracuse are willing to see, and it is also related to a longer-term strategic plan in Dionysius's mind.
.....................
The Messenger of Crotone came to Amendola, bringing the order of Meranthus to let Amendo Lara surrender, which made the political air of Amendola Lama nervous.
At the meeting of the Senate, everyone debated fiercely.
Cornelus, Lafayas, and Stromboli believe that: Crotone is a big victory, and the powerful Amendola, who has just experienced the war, can’t stop it, in order to prevent the territory from being tarnished again. Can temporarily compromise and agree with Crotone's request.
The harder Scombrus, Trito de Moss, and Prote Silos proposed that it is possible to delay the time and ask Tarantum to test the Crotone, depending on the situation.
Almost all the new citizen veterans are hard-liners. They were angered by the arrogant behavior of the enemies of Crotone after they entered the city. They insisted that Amendo Lara could not succumb to the threat of Crotone, if Croto Into the invasion of the soldiers, must let him know the power of Amendo Lara!
After Davis’ occupation of Turri in the Crotone army, it was expected that such a thing would happen. As a leader who was convinced by the military prestige, he became a mercenary leader and relied on military strength to become a lifelonger of Amendola. The Archon, he can't have a hint of weakness and concession, because that would shake his power. Therefore, he resolutely said: "Since Amendorara has made a decision before, then we must stick to it! Don't shake Tarantum's trust in us! Let's not let the big Greeks think that Amendola is a succumb. Power, the city that sees the fortune!"
The powerful words of Daves ended the meeting of the Senate.
When the messenger of Crotone received the reply of Amendola Lara, he first glimpsed and immediately threatened: "You are not afraid of the experience like Turui?!"
"You can give it a try." Daves replied coldly.
..................
The messenger who brought in the return brought Daves's reply: Dear Crotone, the commander, and the Amendolara, who feared the victory you won. However, observing the covenant signed in the name of God is the tradition that Amendo Lara has passed down for centuries. I hope you can understand! ......"
After Melanius saw it, he laughed and smashed the letter: "This Amendora Lara's consul is quite courageous... Hehe... A mercenary-born person actually knows how to keep his promise?!

He took a few steps back and forth in the hall and made up his mind: "It seems that we need to teach this disobedient Xiaobang! Timaras, you are going to call 8,000 people, let's go to Amendola. La!"
Timaras hurriedly said: "But Tarantum -"
Melanius took a hand: "Reassured, I won't mess."
........................
After Crotone's army went out of the city, he quickly marched north.
The detective ride of Amendola Lara immediately returned, and the people of Amendola Lara got the news and suddenly became nervous.
Cornelus, Rafaas and others once again suggested to Davers that they would temporarily soften Crotone and join their alliance.
Deavers said: "I have never been forced to use the knife and gun to force the habit of seeking peace!"
The new citizen veterans were arrogant, clamoring to mobilize the troops, to attack the arrogant Crotones with a head-on attack, and by Devers to force them down.
He ordered: everyone returned to the city to defend!
The team officers were forced to go because of his authority.
........................
The Tarantum Senate also closely followed the movement of Crotone's army. They got news later than Amendorara, and the consul immediately conducted urgent consultations with the veterans.
The veterans have said: Crotone is ignoring that Amendola is an alliance of Tarantum, and it is an intrusion. This is a contempt for Tarantum! It must be seriously protested!
However, for the case of the Crotonian army’s war with Amendola, whether Tarantum participated in the war, most people expressed caution and said that it is necessary to see the development of the situation. After all, Tarantum and Crotone are both strong Greek powers, each with a group of allies. Once a war breaks out, it is not a few battles that can be solved.
Achta took the initiative to apply to see Crotone coach Melanius in the Senate and was finally approved. Tarantum sent another messenger to take a boat to Crotone, and the time required for sailing was short, and it took only half a day to reach Crotone inside the wind.
While the Tarantum Senate was still under discussion, Melanius had led the army, crossed the Savicello River, and two hours later, at the foot of the mountain, he looked at the Amendora, a wall on the hill. The full-armed soldiers on the station, under the direct illumination of the sun in the east, are like a wall that will shine. People can’t open their eyes. They can’t help but say:
The soldiers of Amendola Lala are still like, if I am really If you attack it in the morning, the sunshine will make my soldiers suffer."
He ordered the troops to be squared. The array was more than a long, and slowly approached the battlements, hitting the round shield, making a battle cry, and screaming...
However, under the strict rules of the team officers, the soldiers of Amendola Lama just stood quietly in the city and did not speak.
Alcini couldn’t help but say: "Captain, the Crotones are too arrogant, and we should scream twice and counterattack."
Captain Klipps whispered: "Shut up, this is the order of the Archon, do you want to violate the military discipline?!"
As soon as Arcienne heard this, he did not complain immediately.
"In any case, you remember, as long as the Crotones don't attack, we watch them perform. As long as they dare to attack, hehe..." Ktipps reminded.
"Understand!" Alsini squeezed the stab gun in his hand, even though the enemy team in the city looked very large, but Arsini looked forward to their attack, so that the skills of their hard training during this time can be displayed.
When Melanius saw that the Amendola Lara did not respond, he immediately stopped the marching team and sent people to the city to scream and ask to see the Amendora Lara Archon Daves. Who knows that there is no reaction on the city.
Melanius thought that this was Daves' fear and didn't dare to talk to him positively, so he simply sent some soldiers to the city:
"Duffus is a coward~EbookFREE.me~ I don't dare to face Crotone's army!"
"Amendolars saw the army of Crotone, and they didn't even dare to come out!"
......
The recruits listened, their faces swelled red, and they began to complain. Then they were reprimanded by the veterans: "I am not timid, I know when I have played. What is the use of light? As for the Archon, he led us to beat Persia many times. When people are, these Crotones are probably still enjoying the cheers of the audience on the playground."
In fact, these veterans are equally sulking, but they are already used to the orders of Davis, and they are not willing to waste physical power for unnecessary things.
The scorpion of the Crotone soldier was also dumb, and the Amendolara still did not respond.
Melanius was also boring, and he finally ordered: "Burn all these houses down as a warning to Amendola!"
The Almendo Lara, who remained silent all the time, made Melanthus feel humiliated and angry. He ordered: All the warehouses and hotels that are about to be completed at the foot of the Amendola Lara are burning in the raging fire, and several Amendola The efforts of the month have been destroyed once...
The red light of the sky is the angry face of countless soldiers on the wall. They round their eyes and glare at the departure of the Crotones.
...........................
The news reached the Senate and the entire venue was angry.
Only Daves looked calm, and he listened carefully to the back of the Assisi to carefully describe the performance of the Crotone army under the city, thus inferring the character and psychology of Melanius, and what he learned. Mutual confirmation.
"Do the Crotones want to declare war on us?" Raphaas said with amazement.
"The Crotones invaded our territory and burned our houses. This is already declaring war!" said Felicius.
