Vol 5 Chapter 34: Hilos' decision

The captain continued to say loudly: "The Legion engineers often tell us, 'Building a flat boulevard allows us to walk easily. Digging the ditch can take away sewage and garbage, keep the city clean, and the elevated water bridge can bring the clear stream directly into the city. It saves us the trouble of lifting water back and forth, and can continue to use water...'.WwW.suimeng.lā
The Chief Executive, Hilos, also told us that Master Davers had said, 'Where there are convenient facilities in Turui, other cities in Dionia have to be built, so that every Diaonian citizen should be in Turui. Or in other cities, you can enjoy a clean and convenient life! ......’

The excitement of the captain led to the wait and see of some working soldiers. Sis Protis was afraid of causing misunderstandings, not to say anything, and the captain did not want to say anything more to the Crotonian messenger who looked down on the Lucanias. .
Sis Protus walked silently. He even saw people with scholars measuring what was being measured on the street corner (the right angle measuring instrument used to measure the verticalness of the building), and others using lime powder on the roadside. Lined, telling the soldiers to dig the position of the ditch... Everyone's look is very focused, which makes the Sith Protis somewhat touched.
The Greeks can build a solemn temple, a grand arena, a subtle and sturdy theater... they have the most advanced architecture in the Mediterranean, but they don’t apply them to the infrastructure that improves people’s lives. The people are also accustomed to the simplicity of material life, and they are betting on the political life, sports, competition, drama of the city-state... It seems that only the Dionyns are on roads, bridges, ditches, diversion bridges, etc. The infrastructure of the Greek city-state is not willing to invest a lot of manpower and material resources. Sis Protus has not been to the new Turui, but the Diagonal Avenue is quite famous throughout southern Italy. It seems that even the barbaric Lukaria mountain people are very yearning for the lifestyle created by Dionia. It is inevitable that there is something that attracts it... Sis Protus thought in his heart, unconsciously I came to the town hall of Asprostum and saw Hilos, who had just been in office for less than two days, and the temporary garrison, Asistus.
After listening to the request of Sis Protus, both Hilos and Assisi were a little surprised: they had just killed blood with the Crotones, and they became allies in a blink of an eye. The Crotones who were once enemies are now Ask them for help...
Even though these two generals have been through the battlefield, they are somewhat unacceptable in their emotional time.
Hilos said cautiously: "Helping Crotone to defend against Lockley, which means that Dionya is going to fight with Lockley. Such a big decision is not something we can decide. It requires the permission of the Dionysian Senate.

"Of course we understand that our other messenger has already taken the Clippers and rushed to Turui. However, the army of Lockley has invaded our land, burning our villages, killing our people...etc. When the orders of the Omonia Senate arrive, how many people in Crotone will lose their lives! How many houses will be burned!..." Sis Protus pleaded, said, and even burst into tears "Dyonia has always kept its promise since its establishment. As an ally of Crotone, is it like watching the Crotones suffer and seeing death?!"
The two generals who did not have much political experience felt a little embarrassed. Assisi said so much, he said that it was a matter of great importance and we needed to negotiate, and forced the Sith Protis, who was wiping tears, to take it down.
When he returned to the hall, Hilos had regained his calm after thinking: "Isisters, I am ready to promise the messenger of Crotone, send troops to the west bank of the Tacina di, and stop the Rocky from entering Crowe. The core area of ​​Tone."
"What?! You did not fight with Lockley without the permission of the Senate, and Davers would be very angry!" Assisi remembered that in the Uttum, Seta was advocating and swearing himself. Davers criticized the matter and immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No! This is definitely not good!"
"Whoever said that the Locke people must fight against them, we can do this..." Hilos carefully said his own considerations.
After listening to it, I’m thinking about it and I’m a little worried:
Would it be too risky to do this?! What should I do if Locke is desperate to attack our troops?

"Yasis, you have to know that although the Dionya Union was founded less than a year ago, our reputation in the Great Greece is very high, not only for military success, but also for the leadership of Daphus. Always upholding our own beliefs! When we were weak, in the face of the powerful Crotone's persecution, we still did not give up the alliance with Turui. Now our allies pray for assistance, we can help. If you don’t lend a helping hand, what is the effect of the defensive alliance treaty that you just signed with Crotone? What do the Crotones think? When you come, Davers and the Senate warn us to do with Crowe Can Tone maintain peace and friendship? Can other big Greek city-states believe that we can keep our promises? I know Master Davis, in the face of this situation, he will certainly not hesitate to send troops. Protect Crotone! If Locke dares to attack, he will not hesitate to launch a counterattack!"
After Hirosic’s long-term remarks, Asistics was somewhat moved. He whispered a word for himself:
I don’t disagree with sending troops, I just want to get the instructions of Daphus.

"This time, it will take more than a day at the earliest. When the order arrives, the Rocky people may have already crossed the Tacina Di River and caused great losses to the suburbs of Crotone. Since we are going to assist Croto Inside, it will happen when they need it most!"
Hilos looked firm and speechful, and Asistics was moved: "Well, I agree to send troops. However, send a messenger to rush to Turui to explain our decision!"
"This is what it should be!" Hilos nodded.
Sis Protus received the notice from Hilos: Dionia will fulfill the covenant and let Asprostum send troops to help Crotone to defend the territory. I couldn't help but be excited, and thanked Hilos and Assisi again and again.
Once Hilos made the decision to go out, the entire Asprostum began to act, and 2,500 Third Army groups were quickly assembled, led by Assisis, and immediately headed south. Hilos only stayed. 500 people guarded the city.
........................
The 1000-person attacking team in Lockley barely encountered any resistance and smoothly approached the Tacina di River, leaving behind a ruin. If it was an ancient era of hundreds of years ago, the war between the city-states was still warm and tender. The two sides agreed on the time and place to conduct the battle. There was even a duel between the warriors before the war. And now, the war between the city-states has been very fierce. The losing side is destroyed by the ruined state and the ruined people. Therefore, the powerful side attacks, and the weaker ones can only hide in the city defense. Then the attackers are not willing to attack the city, choose Destroying farmland, burning villages, killing people... and other atrocities, forcing each other to come out to fight, is a common occurrence. For example, when the Peloponnesian War, Sparta attacked Athens from the land, and Athens knew that it could not compete with Sparta on land, allowing the people to hide in the long wall of Athens, resulting in the Attica area being The Penishes trampled into the uninhabited wilderness.
And these means can also weaken the fighting will of the enemy, just like the actions of the Dionysian soldiers in the northern plains of Croton, the Crotone soldiers in the Sebari plain, Lockley and Crotone for decades. The hatred made the Rocky people have one more purpose in doing these things—that is, to vent their anger, so they did it thoroughly, and thus slowed down the march.
Not far from the front is the Tacina Di River, the Rocky soldiers hate not to cross it immediately, rushing into the core of Crotone to burn and rob. When they rushed to the west bank of the Tinchina River, they found an army in front of them blocking the way.
Dio Pantos was the general of the Lockley army, and his heart was awkward: The naval intelligence does not mean that Crotone has sent all the soldiers, is the city's troops empty? Is this a newly recruited freelancer?
He fixed his eyes and saw that the army in front was lined up in neat squares, all tall and straight, straight, helmet, breastplate, armor, round shield, stab gun, full heavy infantry equipment, the entire square Silence is like a mountain, the oppressive momentum makes the Rocky people who are still laughing loudly start to calm down.
"Look at the flag!" Someone pointed to the opposite side of the square and held a red flag in the middle and exclaimed.
The eyes of the Rocky soldiers can be seen: at the top of the flag is a bronze statue of a person with wings and a sword.
"It seems to be a of death." Someone said with uncertainty.
grim Reaper? ! Diopantos remembered that Metlow Phoenix, who had just returned to Lockheed a few days ago, spoke at the council about his experience in Dionia~EbookFREE.me~ He immediately realized that this was ahead The unusual army was not from Crotone, but Dioria, who forced Crotone to seek peace, not a year ago, but it turned out to be the mysterious city-state alliance of great Greece!
Dio Pantos immediately got nervous and hurriedly began to reorganize the scattered team.
At this time, a small team of cavalry was on the opposite side, standing about 50 meters before the Rocky Army. The general in the middle wearing a purple crown helmet, speak loudly, while the other cavalry act as vocalists: "I am the third legion of the Dionysian League, Assisi! Dionya and Croto The alliance defense treaty has been signed before, and according to the covenant, Dionia has the responsibility to protect the security of the Crotone territory! The Lockleys, Dionia have no intention of fighting with you, but if you are still in Croto On the land inside, we will have to drive you out!"
There was a stir in the array of Lockley.
Damn it! Dio Pantos snorted and the most worrying thing finally happened.
When Dionya and Crotone were allotted to Locke a few days ago, the whole council was shocked. Everyone screamed that Crotone was shameless and coward.
